Burgers? Hell Yeah!!

Hey y'all looking through the sacred THP scrolls it is apparent that most awesome of foods is sorely neglected. That's right chidren's, I'm talkin' about BURGERS!! Sliders. Pub burgers. Fast food style burgers. Gastro burgers. Cheffy burgers. CHEESEBURGERS!!! Single and double meat. Triple meat. Extreme burgers. Man vs. Food burgers....the list is endless but y'all get the idea.

We won't go into the endless arguments of who created the first hamburger (Fletcher Davis) or what meat qualifies as a burger. Nonetheless....here are the rules for posting in this soon to be awesome thread:

1. Any meat goes. Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, rat, fish. Whatever, hunt it down and kill it with a knife. Its all good and I've included the options other than the traditional beef so all the kids can play in the pool. If its ground and round, its all good.

2. The damn 'thang has to be between 2 slices of bread or bun. White bread. Brioche. Sourdough. English muffin. Whole wheat. Its got to be bready. No wrap crap or wild pizza dough like chingaderra's.

3. Any cooking method goes. Grilled. Broiled. Griddled. Steamed. Deep fried. Zippo lighter.

4. Because I love to ridicule to no end tree hugging granola wimps and hippy's.....
Veggie burgers are all good. Just be prepared for the woe and gnashing of teeth and smack talk that will soon come if you post it. It will be all in fun and all good.

5. You suck at cooking? The only thing that would suck more is if you posted pics of your restaurant burger. For the sake of keeping the comedy rolling...
Any burger you didn't cook or you bought is allowed and is all good. Warning: while allowed, posting pics of BK burgers or their ilk with a splash of tabasco will bring upon you the most ridicule and insults. Even more than a veggie burger!

6. Chile's and/or hotsauce is mandatory on the burger. ON the burger, no crap on the side.

7. Pics are mandatory. No posting about a burger you made or ate without pics. You will suffer extreme ridicule and experience much loathing. Just don't do it.

8. Include a list of condiments and toppings. Mayo. Mustard. Onions. Cheese. Extract of male baboon spermatazoa. Whatever. Post it.

There it is y'all. Can you get down brown with it? Allrighty then...

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

Here's mine. Sliders. 80/20 ground chuck from Matador Meat Market, Frisco, Tx. Cooked over fine diced yellow onions in cast iron using the smash technique. Toasted Pepperidge Farm slider buns with mustard, the onions, dill pickle and jalapeno pickle slices. Kraft brand American Plastic Cheese.

Adult beverages are encouraged in the pics but not mandatory. Dig that awesome cast iron crust sear!

So bring on your burgers. And that means those damn Aussie's and their stinkin' beet root too!!
 
Life's too short for American cheese.
 
I would have agreed with you until last week or so ...
 
No more American cheese, ever.
 
I can't convince myself any longer.
 
It's ok on broccoli, but cheddar is better, or even the other forsaken cheese, Velveeta.
 
It's ok in grilled cheese, but even Muenster is preferable.
 
I can't even make excuses for the occasional American cheese, any longer.
 
LOL.
 
I can't stand the way it feel on my teeth and gums - cold, warm, or hot ...
 
And, like you mentioned, the way the outer layer forms that plastic-y skin ...
 
It's like candied milk fat.
 
I just can't ...
 
I'd prefer butter for anything where it would go ...

'Merican cheese is a processed classic and it is my opinion that it is applied apropos to the style such as fast food.
 
It ain't my favorite and I avoid it but it certainly does have have its scheezey melty schmelty merits.
 
I much prefer real cheese.
 
Chris, but of course you've had some great diner cheeseburgers with American processed cheese no?
 
I know I have.

Diners don't use that crap here.
 
Maybe they don't and that's cool and the gang.
 
But there's no denying the millions and millions of backyard burgers and untold countless fast food 
 
burgers that use it.
 
I'm guessing that at least more than a few out of all that tasted pert' 'dang good!.
 
American processed cheese is something of an institution and found in ever thang from Taco Hell to 
 
Tex-Mex queso, to stadium and cheapass restaurant nachos.
 
Its bad stuff fo' sho'...
 
But the masses love it loooooong time.
 
And from time to time...
 
I do too.

Dude's got smoked burgers.
 
Hot sheeit out the ying yang.
 
Sloppy seconds spuds.
 
All in a mantastcle pic in the vein of Leo's spread from the album ZZ Top Tres Hombres.
 
The pic is as iconic as the guitar used on the recording.
 
Pearly Gates.
 
Have mercy!
 
 
And then there's a pile of broccoli in the corner.
 
Like a green drunkass hobo photobombing a movie star on the red carpet at the Oscars. 
 
Even a psychiatrist working and engaging with serial killers would look at that pic and think....
 
"WTF?"
