Every Day is 'National Burger Day' on a Holland America Line Cruise, With 20 Featured Gourmet Hamburger Options


Cruise line serves more than 4,000 burgers during a weeklong cruise


SEATTLE, May 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunday, May 28, 2017, is National Burger Day,
and Holland America Line is paying homage to the American classic that has elevated itself
to worldwide admiration. Pleasing the palates of meat-eaters and vegetarians, alike, not only
does the cruise line feature gourmet and veggie burgers at Dive-In at the Terrace Grill, but
 also patties can be found on the menus at Pinnacle Grill and The Dining Room, as well as
in a featured demonstration in America's Test Kitchen.
With 20 unique hamburger options onboard, including vegetarian portobello and black
bean "burgers," Holland America Line's selections take guests on an epicurean adventure
 where creating the perfect burger goes beyond cheese, pickles and ketchup. With four
 styles at Dive-In, a signature burger at Pinnacle Grill and an astounding 14 rotating
selections on The Main Dining Room lunch menu, burger connoisseurs on a weeklong
cruise can enjoy a different burger every day of the voyage. In fact, Holland America
Line serves more than 4,000 burgers on a seven-day cruise!
"When people think of culinary innovation, they often think of fine dining, but you can
 also be creative with a classic such as a burger to make it unique and gourmet like
 our Dive-In burgers," said Orlando Ashford, president of Holland America Line.
 "National Burger Day is the perfect day to tout the fact that we feature 20 different burgers that are the best at sea."
Specialty Burgers Make Dive-In a Guest FavoriteDive-In out by the Lido Pool offers a menu of signature, made-to-order beef burgers that all are served with Holland America Line's secret Dive-In Sauce. Four featured burgers are available at Dive-In:
  • Cannonball: The most popular. Served with Gouda cheese, applewood smoked bacon, 
  • sweet caramelized onions, topped with chop-chop lettuce and sliced tomato on a toasted brioche bun.
  • High-Dive: American cheddar cheese, topped with chop-chop lettuce and sliced tomato
  •  on a toasted brioche bun.
  • Gainer: Served with a mound of crispy, frizzled onions, topped with chop-chop lettuce 
  •  and sliced tomato on a toasted brioche bun.
  • Freestyle: It's not beef, but it's the perfect vegetarian "burger" — a grilled portobella 
  •  mushroom topped with cheddar and Gouda cheese, chop-chop lettuce, avocado, and 
  •  sliced tomato on a toasted whole wheat bun.
Fourteen Burgers Highlight the Lunch Menu in The Dining RoomFor lunch in The Dining Room, Holland America Line serves a cycle of 14 different burgers,
 featuring one a day. A guest on a weeklong cruise could enjoy a new burger every day
 without duplication. The diverse options include a Trattoria Burger with Roasted Bell Pepper,
 Pesto Mayonnaise and Mozzarella; Melted Brie Bistro Burger; Mushroom Fontina Burger;
Bacon Egg Burger; Gouda Burger with Cabernet Onions; Andouille Burger with Crumbled
Blue Cheese; Avocado and Bacon Burger; Cheeseburger on Sourdough Bun; Cowboy

Burger with Arugula Pesto; Mushroom and Onion Burger; and a Blue Cheese Burger with
Crispy Onions.

The Ultimate Gourmet Burger at Pinnacle GrillGuests looking to indulge in the ultimate gourmet burger can head to the elegant Pinnacle
 Grill for lunch. The menu on the alternative dining menu features a burger with bacon jam,
 garlic chipotle aioli, Beecher's cheddar cheese, Cabernet red onions and avocado.
America's Test Kitchen Black Bean BurgerThrough Holland America Line's collaboration with America's Test Kitchen, guests can
attend shipboard cooking shows produced in partnership with the long-running public
 television program. A featured recipe is a Black Bean Burger with Chipotle Mayonnaise.
America's Test Kitchen has perfected the art of making the perfect vegetarian burger, and
 guests learn how to make the dish in the ship's show kitchen from Holland America Line
 chefs trained by America's Test Kitchen culinary experts.
Not to worry … guests who aren't burger fans have hundreds of other options to choose
from on Holland America Line's menus, from hot dogs at Dive-In and filet mignon at
Pinnacle Grill to pasta, chicken and fish dishes in The Dining Room or specialty restaurants.
