food Burgers? Hell Yeah!!

[Essegi]

Stop lying Essegi!
Everyone over there eats artisan cheese, prosciutto, and slaughters their own lambs! Stop lying!!!

Don't provoke me THP, i have the idea to try to make homemade mozz but i really have no time for that (but if we speak from here till 10 years who knows?)!
 

BTW…. I am digging the thin bread. What kind is it?

That bread does look good.

It's a rosetta:

 

It's empty inside. So eating one is really not much, less than 100g in weight and that kind is quite airy and thin. Grill marks and flatness... Are actually from the press.
When i was a kid i had the (i still believe good) habit to remove and eat the central part above from all pieces on table and the ability to actually make it.
 
Not bad but i'd eat ciabatta every moment instead this.

Oh, geeme, if you dig thin bread be sure to check pane carasau:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pane_carasau
Be sure to check the video linked at the end of page, it's something to see.
It's an amusing, amazing and for sure one of my top preference thing. And i like it as it is.
I've never tried to cook it (i've read that for cooking it really well you need really high temps like 840-930 F)...

 

[geeme]

Pane carasau seems more like what we consider to be crackers here - too hard. I like that the rosettas are empty inside - still soft, and squishing doesn't equate to dense.

And ugh…. I looked up recipes for rosetta rolls. Pane-ful.

The kaiser is basically the same thing.

That bread is just asking to be stuffed with a fat 'ol meatball stuffed with peppers and smothered with glorious cheese. Press it flat and go to town with it. Damn, I'm hungry again

Essi: As have achieved corrugated way on the bread crust?
 
It appears to be a flattened rosetta in electric grill or something. I like the combination with eggplant (in escabeche/picked?)

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Panini press.

Well, I've never had anything that called itself a kaiser that was hollow. And they've been more like cardboard than bread, IMO. But then, I've only ever had maybe 3 or 4 of them.
 
It's decided: I am just going to have to go to Presti's mañana and see if they have something magical. Well, they do. They have lots of magical things. Lots and lots of them. Like "geeme could get fat there" kinds of magical things. Their website does not do them justice at all. We'll see if I can find some pane fantastico without also walking away with pastry fantastico.

Ok did not know how it was said in English. Here are known as electric grill

Thanks! Some days ago, not for me, i stuffed with peas in both sides, then cheese and ham.
For my burger i tried to stuff then pressed. It was total mess (burger collapsed, cheese on grill, i redo pressed both  half covering cheese with eggplants). [background=#f7f7f7]But guys here are nice and call it cheese filter. [/background] [background=#f7f7f7]  [/background]

Same here. It's that one:

And that's is a really good piece of bread!

Dear TB,
 
Luv ya bunches, sugar, but you can keep INO. 
 

 
Wish you were here to enjoy one of these with us.
 
Hugs and Kisses,

[The Hot Pepper]

Whoa, geeme that is criminal! Nice!

 

[texas blues]

Aw shucks G.
 
That looks yumbo and super messy.
 
What's that corn doin' on that plate?
 
mrs. blues would give that bacon the finger but on a burger I like a touch limp just like that.
 
Chewy not over cooked and  crumbly bacon on a burger is dang good.
 
I reckon it has more flavor.
 
 
On a side note, Siccy mentioned earlier about a lamb & duck burger?
 
Never had ground duck but I can imaginaficate.
 
I LOVE DUCK!!!
 
I'll take gadwall or teal over a good steak any day!

 

[geeme]

What's that corn doin' on that plate?

 
Top to bottom best as I can deconstruct (I've got a semi-food-coma going), peños, guac, shredded cheddar, bacon, blackbean corn and onion salsa, medium-rare burger patty, pepper jack cheese slice, and tortilla chips on a butter-toasted bun. I know I'm missing something, but that's close enough. There was a stray piece of lettuce on there, but that got removed after I took the pic. And yeah, messy as all get-out. Cut it in half and ate one half as a burger, but the other half got the knife-and-fork treatment. At least I was smart and got carrots and ranch on the side instead of fries - I'd be in a world of hurt right now otherwise. 
 
But dang…. I love duck, too, but duck over a rare slab o' ribeye beef? Say it ain't so! 

 

[texas blues]

Have mercy girl!
 
You had me at "butter toasted bun"!
 
As per the duck vs. steak 'thang, my favorite steak is hands down a ribeye and I've had some of the best.
 
But a butter saute'd wild duck breast?
 
No matter how good that beef is or how its cooked....
 
Not even on the same planet.

 

[Tinnie]

Holy cow Geeme!

Just don't tell me it was too much for you that time!
One of the best burger ever seen!
 
 

 
I LOVE DUCK!!!

Me too, best use till now for me is for a pasta ragù (could be best pasta ragù ever).

 

[Bootsieb]

Black caramel, Gorgonzola -green chili and K

orean.

Black caramel, Gorogonzola - green chilli , Korean and Montreal- maple

 

[sicman]

looks great boots,minus the onion.   but i could rip that off and throw it on the ground and be a happy little sailor.
 
 
geeme that is one messy awesome burger. i imagine half of it would end up running down my arms but that just makes for greatness.
 
 
 
Tb the lamb and duck burger is crazy good. 

 

[geeme]

That's a manly burger you have there, Bootsieb. 
 
 
Sic - man up that duck and lamb burger - NO PICS DIDN'T HAPPEN. 

 

[lucilanga]

Bootsie don't burn the bun like that, put them on a grill or something, or lower that damn flame, look how burnt they are .. those buns can't taste right.
