“All flavors of a burger (and most sandwiches) go really well with avocado,” wrote Colette in an email according to the Boston Globe, “So why not replace the bun with an avocado?”

After posting an iconic image of an avocado-blessed burger on her profile @fooddecco, Colette received a deluge of spirited reactions; both wildly positive as well as humorously negative, she said, although most swing in the favorable spectrum.

“There are lovers and ‘haters’ but it seems they both are at least curious of what it tastes like — and are trying it,” Colette wrote. 

Colette recommends that avocado lovers across the board can enjoy the burger by consuming it with a fork and knife, like one would similarly tackle a “stacked salad.” The stylist continued on to report that the possibilities are endless, as the avocado burgers can be garnished with an array of topping options and flavor profiles.
