A Pulp Fiction–inspired pineapple cheeseburger

If memorable enough, food can function as a movie’s main character. In Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction there is the classic conversation devoted to the name given a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France, the Royale with Cheese. And who can forget Samuel L. Jackson’s harassment of Brett and his friends and the corresponding line “Mmm…this IS a tasty burger.” His salivating inflection alone makes one want to find a fast food joint stat. While watching this movie again it occurred to me that I wished I could have my very own Big Kahuna Burger. Now you can too. See our 10 classic movie scenes about food for this and other memorable movie moments.

Ingredients
Directions:
Using your hands, gently mix the ground meat with the teriyaki and grill seasoning in a medium bowl. Be careful not to overwork the mixture as that can toughen the meat. Divide into four quarter-pound patties.
Grill pineapple slices for approx 1 minute on each side on your grill of choice.
Cook burgers until desired doneness on a grill of choice: gas, charcoal or even one from George Foreman’s empire all work well. Place a piece of bacon on each and then top with a piece of jack cheese to hinge the bacon in place. Top with a grilled pineapple slice and serve on Kaiser rolls spread with Spicy Cilantro Mayo (recipe follows.)
Spicy Cilantro Mayo
Mix all together in a small bowl and use as condiment on Big Kahuna Burgers.
