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!!
 
Deep fried pickles mean spears here. The first time I saw the chip thing, my mind was blown by how much more sense it made. Spears are a minefield if you eat them too soon out of the fryer. If you don't bite clean through, you drag the rest of the molten hot spear out of the batter and give your lips and tongue 3rd degree burns. Looks like you have been frenching a car cigarette lighter

mrs. blues turned me on to Earl's Gas & Grocery (Liquor sto' too!) a month or so ago when we moved into the new house. They are only about 7 minutes away at the corner of FM 720 & Hwy. 380.
Tucked into the store is a little kitchen with a flat iron griddle and a fryer. They only have a couple items but the Earl's Burger is the main thing. This is my 3rd burger from Earl's and it is just as awesome as the first one I tried. For cheapness I also got a side of deep fried pickles and a side of poppers. They ROCK!! I got the whole shebang to go for about 10 bucks!

Don't let the piccy fool you. That's a 1/2 pound burger with topped with american scheeze, mustard, grilled onions, dill pickles and pickled 'peno's.

Ejole' Johnny Chingas!!! This is a lot of dadgum food! This'll be lunch AND supper. Good 'thang I have yard work to do to work this hot blue and righteous 'thang off.

A little rammy of BC dressing for dippin' the pickles which are dill slices with a cornmeal/cornflour breading. I tell no lies when I say when you eat them... se mi paro!!!

The poppers listed on their menu are called Fiesta Poppers. Lots of flecks of chile in the breading which is very crisp. The cheese is some kind of cream cheese/cheddar blend. The bonus is that the poppers are not 'peno but some more rounder RED chile. Fat little buggers. Very tasty. First time I've encountered fast food style poppers that weren't the usual lame no heat 'peno variety. Eating them now I am tasting something very close to sriacha flavor. I am digging Earl's more and more with each visit!

Gotta' go cut the grass and prep the backyard and porch for tomorrow's Blues Cue mayhem.

AAALLL of it! I remember that post.
 
The burger looks good the poppers look awesome but the pickles have me drooling. Dill pickles? Did they have anything special in the batter? Was it Tempura batter or something else? The only way I'm ever going to try them soon is if I do it myself. 
 
There are no hard and fast rules.
 
On fried pickles.
 
Tempura is good.
 
I've also had killer beer battered.
 
My go to is this...
 
And you're going to slap me for it...
 
Dill pickle chips.

Ranch dressing.
 
Half and half corn meal ap flour dredge.
