I think the mainstream perception of Cali cheeseburgers is just a regular cheeseburger but with lettuce, tomato and onion, maybe mayo.

Yeah I think this may have just been a within-family name for the dish. I know she moved to California with my grandad for a bit before they got married so it may be that they ate it a lot out there and named it that, but that’s just speculation on my part

I moved here 3 years ago from California and the lack of lettuce, onion, and tomato on burgers was an unwelcome culture shock.
