food Burgers? Hell Yeah!!

JayT · Feb 29, 2012

I have been craving a good burger and this thread was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Mrs. JayT likes a variety of toppings to choose from and I usually make myself several different burgers when I cook them so here is a look at two. All are made on toasted onion rolls with sharp cheddar and 80/20 ground chuck cooked in the bacon fat.

Some prep/action shots

The first one incudes bacon, lettuce, tomato, homemade spicy pickle, and smokey jakes pit sauce.

The second includes sauteed mushrooms and onion, mayo and LDHS' green sauce. Official review coming soon.

Now it is sake time again...

Are you sure that you want to review these burgers? As good as they look, words may get in the way and do them an injustice (not that you're bad with words)..

JayT · Feb 29, 2012

I'm not reviewing the burgers, I am going to be reviewing LD's Green sauce. :lol:

Bad to the bone Sicman... that burger is sure to cause full frontal lobage meltdown!
Add an egg and BOOM!

THAT BURGER IS WAY MOST AWESOMENESSASTICULOUS.

:bold:

Oh my, The double stack. Nice! I have one more to add too. The Haa haa haa Frenchy Coursaint Burger. This one has simply bacon, sharp cheddar, bbq sauce, and one of my all time favorite hot sauces Hiccupin' Hot by Bone Suckin' Sauces.

Extra points if anyone can name the bottle of hot sauce in the background of pic #2.

Sic you get big points for style. That egg chingaderra looks great even though the meat to bread ratio looks way off.

Jay, you on the other hand....how the hell does one quote himself in his own post? WTF? Fail or Win...its all so confusing.

sicman · Mar 2, 2012

Chewi · Mar 2, 2012

Well done, well done. I've got to get some purple jalos. Never tried before.

robbie · Mar 2, 2012

Wow sicman, that's one incredibly awesome looking burger!

Someone gave me a bottle of Bacon Hot Sauce:

And of course I had to make a good ol' burger to slather lots of the sauce upon:

Mmmmm bacon...

texas blues · Mar 2, 2012

Robbie that certainly warrants a hot blue and righteous! I like whole wheat buns, mrs. blues mocks me when I buy them though.

sicman · Mar 2, 2012

DAMN, all these awesome burgers…I’m getting hungry again.
Sicman I’m love’n the way you cook, purple jalapeno, 3x hab’s and a bhut, awesome. Then you kick up by adding more purple jalapeno, and did you stop there, hell no… 2 x eggs, 2 x cheese stuffed patties. Sorry gotta stop looking, getting to hungry.

What a long and busy weekend, I wanted to get this posted earlier, but I can’t think… remember longing on since Thursday. I was going to post this in DC, but thought this would be just as appropriate.

The veggies; onion, the last Manzono and 2 medium dried bhuts.

Veggies sweating in a pan with 1 TBS butter and a pinch of granulated garlic.

Another shot, you can see the 2 bhuts and garlic.

93/7 ground beef from the freezer, now two things here any burger lover will argue. 1[sup]st[/sup], 7% fat WTF, I’ve never had any flavor issues with the 93/7 I use only S&P and cook on a 600⁰-625⁰ CI. 2[sup]nd[/sup], the meat is too compressed, see next pic.

I S&P then fluff the patty with a fork, stick it in and turn. Flip the patty over and turn 90⁰, S&P then fork it again. A loose patty will cook more evenly and won’t bulge in the center, but you all know that.

Patty flipped with veggies on top. Now I know better but I made a rookie mistake here, you see… that smoke there… well um… it was tear gas :mouthonfire:

from the capsaicin saturated butter in the veggies running on the CI. Needless to say I fumigated one story of the house. I had sneezing dogs and a bitching girl friend to listen to, and yet I didn’t think it was that bad, tolerance gotta love it. :twisted:

Whit cheese

The money shot! There is bacon on there under the patty somewhere.
