Burgers

[spawnofthesith]

The ultimate food of life. Some people get real tribalistic and aggressive about burgers. not me. I love them all. Home ground, in n out, 5 guys, wendys, the local dive bar, burger king, shake shack, $18 bougie burger with no sides, mcdonalds, I'll take it all.

The ultimate food

What are your favorite burgers? Let's talk about how much we love burgers

I love a good burger too … I’ll eat almost anything; but for grilling at home I am using 70/30 brisket-blended Kansas City beef.

I made White Castle inspired Sliders last night at 3AM.


I do think a Flat-top makes a better Burger than Grilling does.



Picky about Buns, too. It's the Bassist of the Burger and can make or break the entire performance.

When I get together with my Jam Mates on Thursdays the last thing we always talk about is
Food. It's religious. We do it every week. By the time 9PM-10PM rolls around we all famished!

I'd like to get into grinding my own Burger Blends at home.

Bourdain is a bit of a Burger Fundamentalist. Makes sense.

Man, I almost started this thread on Sunday. Was going to post a picture of my freshly grilled burger on a pretzel bun. I love those things. Grill the bun then add onions, cheese, burger, cheese, and top bun. That's it, no condiments and delicious!

Probably going to get some sourdough and make patty melts soon.

My tips:

• Pickled jalapenos. They go with any burger.
• A good chunk of grilled halloumi is a great alternative for the beef patty.
• A beef patty should be tossed in soy sauce + spices before grilling. I usually just use some black pepper, a bit of chili flakes etc. This spreads the saltiness of the soy sauce and spices perfectly into it.

My usual beef burger:

1. Top bun.
2. Mustard and ketchup.
3. (optional) Avocado. Damn us millenials!
4. Cheddar melted on top of the beef after flipping it.
5. Beef patty.
6. Slice or two of tomato.
7. A bit of some sauce. I like gomadare but my spouse prefers a chili mayonaise.
8. Pickled jalapenos.
9. Pickled cucumber.
10. Lettuce.
11. Bottom bun.

Halloumi burger:

1. Top bun.
2. (optional) A bit of sriracha.
3. Slice of grilled halloumi.
4. Cherry tomatoes cut in halves.
5. Pickled jalapenos or chili jam.
6. Lettuce.
7. Bottom Bun.

Halloumi burger can be simpler because halloumi is quite salty so adding a bit of heat and leaving other salty elements out works. Cherry tomatoes are a bit sweeter so they balance it.

I need to take pics next time I make burgers.

I like a Sonic #1 with ketchup and cheese only. Simple things for simple minds :)
Oh, and I like my tots well done.

I really like an over-medium fried egg on a burger.

Anybody ever flip burgers for a living? I did a stint one summer.

PSA: to all non-Americans, you have to understand that here in the USA, by law, hamburger means 100% cow.

Like Homer I love me a Burger any Kind, Well most certainly no tofu burgers

I really like an over-medium fried egg on a burger.

A long time ago, I used to get a Kiwi Burger in New Zealand that had a slice of beetroot and an egg on it.

I think it was around 2003. I don't know if that is still a popular thing there?

It was fun, though.

Listened to 2 Pink Floyd albums in their entirety, ingested an edible something or other, drank 2 beers,
tried playing some of the Gilmour licks from those 2 albums (Saucerful Of Secrets and Animals), wondered
why Gilmour hates Waters so much when he is still singing lyrics Waters wrote, and melodies Roger came
up with. Hmmm..... Is that irony, incongruousness, or something worse??

But yeah, put your diced onion in the pan first and then put a patty on top and don't worry about a sear,
go low and slow so that patty soaks/braises in all of that fatty-oniony goodness.... then place Slider Buns
on top of patties to steam. Pull buns, put mustard and dill pickle slices on buns, then patties and some of
that onion from the bottom of the pan. Enjoy!

We may need a Homer Drool Emoji, since food and gear here is worthy of a Homer drool
