Now I’m wondering what they call a [chili size](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chili-size/532207) in the Midwest? If they call it a ‘chili burger’, what do they call the closed sandwich?

**pulykamell:** I’ve never heard of a ‘California burger’ that didn’t have avocados on it, or at least guac. That someone was calling a regular burger that in the '80s is a little mind-boggling.
