    Re: describe your ideal burger

    picked up this cookbook

    "A Burger to Believe in"
    and it has a damn good burger in it. Buns are good, the idea of cheese mayo is great, damn good burger.

      Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

          While off the burger topic, there used to be a fried chicken sandwich served with a fried egg with a runny yoke. Was called "The Mother and Child Reunion".

                I forgot about the bun. It should be round, not too soft and have sesame seeds or poppy seeds on it.

                  I've done that, and loved it.

                  I'm not sure at what point a burger is no longer a burger. A matter of interpretation, I suppose. But I don't much care... if it's delicious.

                  Whole grain buns or bagel-buns (say, isn't that one of Kat's pet names for you?<G>) help with the fall-apart thing. Same reason I prefer a more substantial bread of pulled-pork sandwiches... instead of the traditional WhiteBread. Heresy... I know. But I choose it nonetheless.

                    The original Red Robin near the UW campus before they became a chain, had a page of "Knife and Fork" burgers on the menu. The one with the fried egg was on that page.

                      For buns, the original Hales Brewery would make their hamburger buns (and pizzas crusts and soft pretzels) with spent grain from the brewery. Now that was tasty bread.

                        I have never understood the concept of eating hamburger steak with two slices of white bread. White bread isn't food.

                        Hamburger steak with boiled potatoes and brown gravy is my favourite. Potatoes are food.

                        We usually mix some mashed boiled potatoes and plenty of finely hacked onions and an egg or two with the mince meat when making hamburger steak. This makes the meat go further.

                          Exactly my thought.

                          Going OT from burgers: while some might call it sacrilege, I love hash - corned beef, roast beef, roast pork - you name it. For a quick & easy hash, good burger makes an excellent one.

                              Whatever you choose, take a pat of butter and place it in the center of the meatball before pressing it out into a burger. Butter-centered burgers are da bomb.

                                Jalapeno and blue cheese, grilled onions if I can get them, maybe some BBQ sauce.
