food Burgers? Hell Yeah!!

Experimented with two pattie mixes, rice/chickpea/onion and herbs, work out real well, nice texture, tasted great. Second, Sweet potato/chickpea/onion and vindaloo spice. Used raw potato thast a mistake, almost falls apart so cooking them first would work better, other then that tasted good. Will add bean powder next time and I like the rice mix better.
Didnt have any fixings or bread so just naked :(

Decided to try some burgers done on charcoal, we had mates from overseas visiting and my dad and our mate ended up with this bag of charcoal. We did a bbq yesterday, and the damn coals went out half way through lol! On tonight's attempt, it took 3 freaking tries to light properly, but when it did, the rest is history.  3 burgers with 3 different sauces. Taste and texture completely different than cooking burgers inside on a stove. Cooking over coal is the only way to cook...

Wait.
 
HK's burger has lettuce on it.
 
And ketchup.
 
 
I'll allow it.
 
Still rockin'.
 
 
hehe each had different sauces, a "burger sauce" which actually tastes pretty awesome, Ketchup+mustard, and BBQ sauce. C'mon man, ketchup and mustard is a great combo ;)
 
Gonna do a couple more tonight, just realised I don't have any hot sauce and bacon and am too many beers down to drive. Shit

Since we started buying fresh ground chuck from the butcher I won't order a burger if we're out at a restaurant because we can do better at home.  :)

What kind of bread? It seems the bun is a commonly overlooked part of the burger but if the bun sucks, then it totally ruins the burger in my opinion. Looks great by the way.

def brioche! one of the best
I love brioche. There's a chain burger joint around here that just opened not too long ago called slaters 50/50 (not sure if it's national) but they make their burgers with 50 percent beef and 50 percent bacon on brioche buns. One of the best burgers I've had but one of the times I went the bun was dry. Totally ruined it. I was a cook at a nice hotel back in the day so maybe i'm just too picky but a dry bun is a deal breaker for me. Send that shit back.
 
It dries out kinda fast. It's like a bagel. If you don't get it out of the oven or soon after, forget it. Bagels become bricks, brioche becomes dense and crubmy, as in, those dry crumbs that fall off. When fresh, actually moist and squishy!
 
Another side note, my local Italian store has fresh ciabatta. OMG it is an art like a good pizza dough, crusty outside, light and airy inside, and squishy. Never really liked this dense bread until I had super fresh.
