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!!
 
Yes ... mayo is burger magic.
 
Mix a little mayo in with your ground and it keeps the meat from getting that over-dry quality that comes with medium and beyond.
 
For people who eat it genuinely rare, it's probably not a big deal ... but it's magical for the well-done crowd, and a little bit of a booster for Medium too, I think ...
 
It's an essential ingredient for burgers that will ultimately be reheated, IMO ...
 
Let me just say this about mayo on a burger.
 
Dick's.
 
That's the only joint I'd hit a burger with mayo on it.
 
Mayo has its uses to me but in a meatloaf or on or in a burger isn't one of them.
 
Mayo is good when turned into ranch dressing.
 
Or mixed with shallots and gruyere swiss and on top of a piece of baked halibut.
 
Dick's bein' the 'ception, I'd rather put ketchup on a burger than mayo.
 
But I don't ever do that.
 
Thats a sin.
 
Cooking with it is different... mayo on top is totally different. Cooking with is just a choice of another fat to cook with.
 
Hahaha, actually ashen I have never double top my buns, that's just what my buns look like, no lie, just local bakery buns
 
Nice, I got some elk and bacon. Burgers tomorrow. Probably nothing fancy though. Wifes picky ass already freaking because it's not beef
