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!!
 
Nate, it ain't got the pinkness I like to be liking but I can still see it still has some ooze goin' on.
 
Anybody that don't like that burger is a dang fool!

That burger spoke the truth!

See meat, eat meat ...

Key West?
 
Love the food and fishing there but don't roll like they do there.
 
I'm a Marathon guy.
 
THP, sadly I ain't drunk.
 
No even buzzed.
 
Only 2 beers so far as I hafta' be up at 430 am to take Jackie Blues to the airport tomorrow.
 
I gotta' find a pillow soon.
 
 

I'm a Marathon guy.




For my purposes, same thing.

FWIW, a family friend you remind me of was the Head Honcho Property Appraiser down there for about a decade ...

Ah Marathon.
 
I have several favorite places on earth.
 
Alaska.
 
The Azores.
 
Puerto Vallarta.
 
St. Thomas.
 
Austin, Tx.
 
And Marathon, FL.
 
Marathon is my favorite.
 
I just can't afford to live there.
 
How ironic.
 
Its cheaper to live on the Kvichak River, AK than Marathon, FL.
 
Fishing is awesome in both.
 
The Kvichak has rainbows that exceed 30" that run like bonefish and jump like tarpon.
 
Marathon has tarpon, bones, and permit.
 
Not to mention offshore species of cuda, cobia, dorado, and deep water fish like snapper, grouper, etc.
 
And there's the shrimp!
 
I love it all.
 
But truth be told I'd rather have one more shot at a Kvichak River Bow over any Marathon fish.
 
Like holding lightning on a rod in your hand.
 
Imagine roping a full grown African rhino and then letting it go.
 
You and that animal will never feel as alive as you are right then.
 
That is a very poor description at best.
 
To be honest, its like an astronaut describing to you how its like to be in space.
 
You won't "get it" unless you've done it.
 
Its one of those 'thangs.
 
I've unexpectedly hooked a tarpon while shore fishing on Casey Key ... similar feeling.

Got it close enough to see and cut the line ... nothing else to do, I was cooler'd for whiting, lol ...

I've enjoyed fishing when I've had the time and access!
 
I failed to mention my number 3 fishery.
 
A steelhead fishery that is well known but I won't name.
 
A Steelhead is a sea run rainbow trout that grows to bigger proportions.
 
More finicky and just as fragile as any wild rainbow trout.
 
I've only fly fished for them and had many fishless or better said "caughtless" days.
 
The few I have caught and released were a 36" hen and a '39 buck.
 
In each case after I released them, only then did I realize the honor that mother nature allowed me to be apart of.
 
I couldn't fish for at least an hour as in both cases I was shaking so badly and simply had to sit down.
 
Bettern' any drug I know.
 
And I've taken them all.
