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!!

Never got to these at the restaurant, but I am cravin' beefage so here goes:
 

 

 

 

 
I tried the onions two ways, diced and thinly sliced.  I think I like the sliced better.
 
I put a little mayo and srircha on one, but the rest were plain.  Nice beefage.
 
 

 

[thirdcoasttx]

Dammit!!!!! A dinner invite would be nice!! For real though those look delicious.

 

[SumOfMyBits]

Is that tomato puree vinaigrette reduction?

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Nah too orange, that's some hot sauce. Maybe Red Hawk?
 
Buns to big for those patties!!!! But look good.

 

[JayT]

It is Sriracha.  I ate that on one, one plain, and one with a friend's "Sweet Hot Citrus" sauce.  One more for breakfast.  You are right THP the buns are too big.  Shoulda got the slider rolls instead.

Oh I almost forgot, local restaurant put out an update on their fb page.  Lunch special for yesterday:  Ghost Pepper Burger.  Were they talking directly to me?  Maybe.  I was there in less than a half hour!  Turns out it is a double cheeseburger with LTO.  I said well where is the ghost pepper?  A sauce?  In the meat?  Nope, it is Ghost Pepper Cheese.  Not sure what brand or even what kind of cheese it was.  I figured well, this isn't going to be hot so I went to the truck and brought in a bottle of Puckerbutt's new Ginger Pineapple Reaper sauce which I doused the top of the patties with.  Smashed it all together good and went to town.  And by went to town I mean ate four bites before I could barely breath and had sweat dripping down my face and neck.  Whew, I didn't need all that sauce.  The bartender with a bit of a concerned look on his face asked if I could use some water.  I waved him off and continued with another couple bites before having to stop and catch my breath again.  Damn, I really did it to myself this time.  Well, I survived, but the rest of the night belongs in Tales of the Loo.  Here is a pretty good picture of the burger and fries.

Thin sliced onion is the way to go Jay so I'm with ya' there compadre.
 
No toasted buns?
 
How did you like the plain burgers?
 
Yeah I know its snobby purist style but when the beef is fresh you can't beat it.
 
Ghost pepper burger but only in the cheese?
 
Who's idea was that?
 
Whoever came up with that should fire themselves.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Fried onions and Sriracha isn't plain. Did he eat some plain?

 

[thirdcoasttx]

Fried onions and Sriracha isn't plain. Did he eat some plain?
yes

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Hmm looks like fried onions on all. I was thinking he meant nothing at all. But I see he meant no condiment.

 

[JayT]

Correct, fried onion on all.  I did make two plain for my boy who prefers just the tomato reduction sauce.  For me, it was onions, beef, and some hot sauce.

 

[cypresshill1973]

Simple and classic... Loin, mozzarella chesse, black Krim tomato, gallega lettuce and onion, all of of my garden, spice powder and mayonnaise with olive oil. homemade bread
 

 

 

[texas blues]

That looks like steak meat!
 
Is that steak cooked steak?

 

[cypresshill1973]

Yes... loin steak. Here is very common tenderloin sandwich. If you have not tried, you should do it now!
