Burgers

[DrewJD82]

I was mildly hungover yesterday and despite having a fridge full of awesome Dominican food, I really wanted a burger, specifically Chili’s Burger Bites, which aided me in many hangovers in my 20’s when I worked there. I ordered a Triple Dipper and pigged out on the damn thing by myself.

We’ve become slider fans at my house, so we can mix & match different toppings and condiments. Its slowly becoming our favorite dinner choice every week.

Similar here. Can't pack away the food like I once could either---so the smaller portion size helps
with the digestive process.

My days of Dooubles and Triples are done, done, done. @spawnofthesith can pick up those extra calories for me.

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

Thick 80/20, medium rare on a charcoal grill. Topped with mild Vermont cheddar, sautéed Spanish onion and hot green chilies.

Sir, I wish to draw your attention to an older related post. Perhaps we can still do this?

Sandwiches

Pastrami going into the oven. I would smoke it, but it is 18 fucking degrees outside. :wat

EDIT: Oh, you were on that thread, actually. I suppose I should not have been surprised!

What kind of buns are you using for sliders? I like those “Hawaiian” buns.

I like burgers and I like pickles (dill obviously)

But the combination of the two is an abomination

I don't care for that either but have grown accustomed to the flavor of the leftover juice they leave after I remove them from my restaurant burgers so now I dribble a little pickle brine on my buns (get your minds out of the gutter! ) when I make burgers.

Yes this is appropriate


Hannibal burres has a bit about exactly this. I didn’t check this video but hopefully this is it lol

HB is awesome and he's totally right about the pickle juice.

PSA, if you make your own "5 minute pickles" with apple cider vinegar they are an AMAZING cure for heartburn. Not sure why but one spear (I make spears because they absorb the flavor quicker) will cure the worst heartburn. I've been dealing with almost daily heartburn for around 30 years and them shits work! Besides that they're natural.

Tonights dinner currently digesting.

Tried @Achilles fry recipe. The display on my deep fryer is messed up and hard to read. Due to that I think they didn't come out right because they weren't as fluffy and crispy as when I boil them before frying. I'll definitely give them a go a few more times before final judgement though.

Burger is simple when I use a toasted pretzel bun. Bottom bun with raw onions, either rings or diced. I prefer rings. Lettuce on top of that. Then the third pound grilled burger and American cheese. 7 to 11 finger flicks of pickle juice ala Hannibal Buress on the toasted top bun. No condiments.

Oh, can't forget the Pepsi with real sugar watered down just like the restaurants do. Lol

I mostly agree. I found these brown sugar bourbon pickles that are pretty good on a burger though.

Pickle juice is just brine that can be reused. Use it in marinades. Cut up some veggies and throw them
in there and you have Giardiniera.

You can even pour it in a saucepan and cook it down, or heat it up and then pour it over some sliced
Red Onions.

Just don't pour it down the sink.... lest ye offend the Pickling Gods.

I always have a batch of pickled onions in the fridge.

Same.

My Son busts my balls about pickling all the time. He's chronically overwhelmed when he has to
move 5 different Mason jars with various things pickled in them to get to the Ketchup, or a serving
of Yogurt.

My newest fave is Pickled Red Cabbage.
