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!!
 
It's true; my favourite burger in town sounds like a Frankenstein monstrosity.

The place calls themselves a mediterranean bistro.

Their special burger is a formed Greek seasoned 8 Oz patty. On a brioche bun. Dressed with grilled red pepper(huge piece, half of a large bell) caramelized red onion, hummus, crumbled feta, bacon. Skewer with olives to hold it from collapse. One is easily your salt load for most of the week.

It is usually almost completely cooked through, and has a pretty solid texture, but I never care because the flavour is incredible. A insane char on it, I assume it is cooked on same grill as the souvlaki.

A Greek salad on the side and I am in my happy place.

Then throw some lettuce on it for crunch and top it with a blacken spiced burger topped with some blue cheese

Love the one you're with, butt rocket.

No buns, no texas toast, onliest other option was pita.

I had marble rye for rueben sammie, which is going to have to turn into pastrami on rye as my wife claims to have forgotten the sauerkraut when at the store.

Her well known anti sauerkraut bias makes me wonder though. Often things she doesn't like are " forgotten " ;)
 
I guess that was water not ranch or the cannonball would have been completed.

I like to be liking your style.
 
But.
 
What is that in the lower right hand corner?
 
Deep fried brains?
 
I dunno.
 
Doesn't matter.
 
I'd cut my mouth 2x on that toasted bread burger.
 
Give it to me!
 
Burgers on the GrillGrates flat side tonight. They worked!
I bought this marked down pack of bacon scraps and fried up about 1/3 of the pack.

But I ate more than I should've. What do you expect, it was bacon.
