Not one, but TWO thin patties on a jalapeño bun with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.

What you can't see is the two tablespoons of homemade peach-habanero hot sauce under the lettuce.  I'm sweating now.

We have asparagus back in the stores up here.  Cooked some the other night, had forgotten how good it was!

Is it a burger or is it a salad?

You decide!   :D




Montana beef patty, topped with Muenster cheese, pickles, onions (in my case), and resting on some shredded iceberg lettuce. Spicy mustard for me, and some Catsup for Mrs Nix.

The kids demanded burgers tonight.
Theirs are made to order.
I'm not so fussy and usually just throw mine together randomly.
Mayonnaise, avocado, capsicum, beef, onion, egg, a slice of tomato and chili sauce.
Garlic salt, avocado, baby spinach leaves, bacon, beef, mushroom, onion and coconut cream.

Mushrooms are something like a cross between meat and vegetables as is so there should be no problem with putting them in to a burger (next to meat of course).  :D

 :iagree:

I love mushrooms on a burger.....they add some 'umami'. It's just that I've never tried coconut cream as a topping.  But, that'll change here soon...... :D

Fourth of July burger. Beef, medium cheddar, pickles, onions, and spicy mustard on a toasty ciabatta roll.

I've had 3 burgers so far in Paris, in order of enjoyment:

5 guys
Fresh factory (think it's not a chain but sure feels like one)
Quick

Top two are tied tbh, 5 guys was not as fantastic as the hype, it was good but expensive, Fresh Factory is similar where you choose all the items (and they have those digital kiosk screens which you can change languages), slightly less expensive but probably as good as 5 guys quality wise.

Quick was just cheapish and fast, burger patty itself was pretty bad, would have rather had Burger King tbh.

One thing I noticed is that in France, or maybe just a Paris thing is that all sandwiches have dijon mustard on them. I had a caeser wrap, no caeser dressing, yup dijon. BLT, dijon, chicken and bacon, dijon, crock monsieur, dijon, all my burgers had it, in varying quantities, even most of the mayonnaise in the supermarket have a touch of mustard added. :facepalm: it literally kills all the rest of the flavours.
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Interesting.

I do like mustard on my burgers. However, I'm not sure I'd want it to be the default condiment for all my meals, though.

And....agreed. Five Guys is good--based on my one experience--but doesn't really live up to the hype. I'd go back, though.  :tu:

Mrs Nix (who couldn't wait for me to sit down....): "Wow! This is a great burger!"

Nix: "don't exclaim with your mouth full."

Nix (after taking a bite): "Damn, that is a good burger."







So a couple of double-cheeseburgers for lunch. These worked out really well today, probably because I followed the usual recommendations:

-- formed the patties thin, with minimal handling
-- chilled the patties for 30 minutes in the fridge (although it's actually a bit colder outside)
-- got my skillet smoking hot (literally smoking)
-- seasoned both sides liberally with salt and pepper
-- seasoned one side with onion powder, the other with nutmeg (Nutmeg is a trick I picked up from a Canadian guy who made a killer burger, so I call this my 'Alberta Burger'.)
-- slapped the patties in the pan and did not move them (great sear and crust).
-- flipped the patties once.

This time the plan came together with excellent results. And I found myself asking myself, 'why aren't I making these more often.....?'    :D

Anybody else making up some burgers lately?   :cheers:

Wow... that is an excellent looking burger!  :like: I like the pickle ratio too.  :tu:

Now... not a burger, but... it is beef and it is in a bun (roll), but last week I picked this up for lunch from one of my favourite butchers in a certain market town down south. It's a hot roast beef and horseradish roll (bun) - the beef was beautifully tender flavoursome... and there was enough of it to feed a small african village... for a week*.  :2tu:



*Probably just an hors d'oeurve for you yanks though...

Yes, top marks... for effort.  :salute:

The pic makes it look a bit like a dog's dinner though... if one was in the habit of feeding their pooches roast beef that is.

Another set of excellent burger this evening:






80/20 ground beef seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder, and nutmeg. Great sear and crust from a hot, hot cast iron skillet. Served with cheddar cheese on Ciabatta rolls with onions (me), pickles (all), and some Dijon mustard.

Delicious enough to make you smile, juicy enough to keep you giggling and reaching for a napkin.   :D

No, but I did buy a vegan "Mr Bean" burger from a food trailer recently with a Black Bean and Cashew patty.
It was FAB.

I've found a good chili dog mustard that works well as a default condiment on almost everything.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

That looks good! There is a place i think I Arizona where you have to sign something and there is a doc on hand for anyone who orders a special burger!
But I could so go for a 5-guys burger right now after looking at this, especially with their fresh cut fries!
