"I've had several great olive burgers all over the west side of the state, where this delicacy reigns. One of my personal favorites is the classic version at Peanut Barrel in East Lansing. Theirs a simple blend of chopped salad olives and mayo placed on the burger with no other condiments, and none are needed."

"Peanut Barrel also serves one of the best olive burgers in town. Is it the best? I don’t know, I need to do more research. But I will tell you this: Peanut Barrel’s olive “sauce” is no joke. I put the sauce in quotation marks because this is a healthy dollop of chopped olives with just enough mayonnaise-y mix to hold it together. The Mediterranean diet is so hot right now, and I’m going to assume this burger qualifies on the merits of its oliveness."
