“What on earth is a peanut burger!?!” you might ask.

All kinds of impressions might come up in your head when you hear this name:

A vegetarian “hamburger” made of peanut butter.

A small hamburger.

Ground beef and peanuts squished together to form the hamburger.

Just a typical hamburger named after someone with the nickname of Peanut–perhaps, one dressed in Peanut’s favorite way of dressing it.

or

Just what it is!

And what is that?

One quality ground-beef pattie with smooth peanut butter melted on top of it as it cooks on the grill served on a buttery grilled bun with sweet pickle chips.

One place that this can be found–that is, during their April 1-September 30 season of being open–is at Madewell’s in Anderson, Indiana.

Although the most unusual thing on their menu is, likely, the peanut burger, they also have other unusual offerings that you might not expect from a seasonal place serving sandwiches, fried sides, ice cream and beverages, such as fried cauliflower and fried okra.

The variety of ice cream flavors offered there is also wide and delightful, and the helpings are more-than-generous.
