hamburgers

this isn't "really" a food thread i'm just curious to know in a general sort of sense what kind of hamburgers are being eaten and at what frequency

that's all

peace

rare a few times per week. 2-3 times.

with cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato. sometimes something more advanced.

ian thank you for your hamburger input

do you think you will ever try the new bacon & blue from wendy's

if it sticks around and i am at a wendy's when it is available and if i can resist the allure of the bacon jr. cheeseburger for 99c, then yes.

(not sure where the closest wendy's even is.)

we have a new policy @ work where the company will pay for any chicken fired cheeseburger ordered.

chicken fried*

that is a fucking sweet policy to be honest with you

yeah i'm trying to figure out how far i need to space them apart so as not to get sick.

Only when I visit my parents in Alabama. Here in NJ, the closest thing I've found to a decent burger place is Five Guys, and while I appreciate being able to get an onion, garlic & A1 burger, the greasy, unseasoned meat doesn't really do it for me, and the inability to get less than a pound of fries is frustrating. (I do like that they leave the skins on and you can get vinegar on them, though. Those are marks of quality.)

When I visit home, I always end up going here. Jalapenos, onions, mushrooms, Tack Sauce (local sweet habanero sauce), so fucking good. Or sometimes Milo's- I don't know if other states have Milo's, but they really should.

husband makes a great slow-cooked burger - 80/20 ground beef, handful of diced red onion & a can of diced chilies, on sourdough bread (no condiments)...yummo. like a smoky meatloaf and SO goood.

sadly my quest for a healthier eating plan has led us to experiment with ground turkey tonight ;_;

yeah NJ is lackin in decent burger places (or maybe i just dont' know where to go?)

can't remember the last time I had a burger, tbh. when I go back home I usually make blue cheese burgers (blue cheese, worcestershire, &c mixed in with the beef) on the grill.

burgers are pretty much the perfect meal imo

I'm still trying to figure out how to cook ground buffalo without having it turn out dry and chewy. I've had AMAZING buffalo burgers but whenever I try they come out awful.

Had a Wendy's bacon & blue last week -- it was okay I guess, but really their spicy chicken sandwich is better. Still, credit to them for being willing to offer strong flavors in a generic fastfood world.

Next time I want a blue cheese burger, I'll probably do it myself and put the blue cheese in the middle.

xpost, grind up some fatty bacon in a food processor and mix in with the buffalo?

my uncle shot this:

would love him more if had written it though

hmm, wondering what kind of burger would go best with sriracha

guacamole & sriracha is a classic combo in my experience.

also jack or swiss cheese perhaps.

fresh, ripe tomato... mmm.

I have burgers maybe every couple of months, but then I have little bouts of burger-eating. last time was last weekend, when I bought some minced beef and made my own, with chilli, onion. Served them griddled, medium-well, in pitta bread with coleslaw. Lishdelish.

Welcome to the Good Burger, home of the Good Burger. is the premier BURGIN' thread on ILX!!

I saw a Cantal burger on a bistro menu last week, for 17 euros. I gather that's just a burger with Cantal cheese. I'm sure it's great but really, 17 euros for a burger? Granted, it was in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, explaining the price somewhat.

tons of good burger places in central NJ, dunno what you fools are talking about

i like the in-n-out style but without the thousand island ("ketchup instead"). everything is so proportional -- perfect bite every time!

live in southern nj, max

if i have a burger i have to lie to my girlfriend.

that wendy's video actually sort of makes working at wendy's look like fun. so: mission accomplished.

also: if someone wants to deliver a burger to my apartment, i'll be home working all evening. fries sound pretty good right now, too.

i probably have a burger once every... three months or so? less? like i said i have to find a time to do it when my girlfriend won't wonder about what or where i ate. if she knows i ate a burger i'll get one of those looks.

jesus christ hamburgers are tasty.

i eat about 4-6 hamburger a week.

i like fat burger. king burger.

i like vera, the vancouver chain. i get the straight vera burger with provolone and dijon. also like lamb burgers.

i like splitz grill. i get the run of the mill burger with aged cheddar.

i like wendy's.

i like burger king. triple stacker or bacon double cheeseburger.

i like mcdonald's. double quarter pounder with cheese, large diet coke.

you guys should have a heart attack-in.

who's gonna be the first dirtbag to admit to having eaten an arby's "roastburger"

it won't be me

btw if all subsequent posts to this thread could be bookended with burger_top.gif & burger_bottom.gif like so that'd be great thx in advance

i get arby's cravings pretty often, but it's just for a roast beef sandwich with horsey sauce.
http://forum.watmm.com/public/style_images/master/burger_bottom.gif

I have eaten a lot of fast food burgers as well as a lot of fancy gourmet restaurant burgers in my time, but I haven't had many (if any) that compare to a nice slab of ground beef seasoned with a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, grilled to medium rare on a Weber grill, and served with fresh tomatoes, pickles, white onions, Heinz ketchup, and French's yellow mustard (notice nothing about cheese).

The only thing that comes close to that for me is a well-made "Western-style" with K.C. Masterpiece (original), Onion Rings, bacon, & a slice of medium cheddar.

love that horsey sauce

I have a craving for a whopper right now. I think Burger King makes a better burger than mcdonald's. I could go to a fancy burger joint but it'd be too much hassle.

notes on unconventional burgers:

a few nights ago, at guu w/ garlic i had miniature tonkatsu burgers: pork cutlet, shredded cabbage lightly pickled, mayo, all in miniature chinese mantou buns.

possibly 3-4 times a week, i eat rou jia mo 肉夹馍 at the richmond public market, which is called "chinese burger" on the menu, despite being closer to a pulled pork sandwich, perhaps: pork shoulder braised slowly with delicious stuff like star anise and cassia and dark soy sauce, stuffed in roasted flatbread (traditionally roasted in a clay oven or an oil drum, but here, in a boring old oven), possibly with cilantro or raw peppers but not always.

listen, arby's used to be a big treat for me, when i'd go from moose jaw to regina, to my orthodontist to get my braces adjusted. it was nice and soft, too, with my teeth all fresly pulled back. i can still eat literally a dozen beef and cheddars.

on mcdonald's vs. burger king. shit, i fuck with mcdonald's, i think. but you've usually got an a&w/bk/mcdonald's choice here, and i'll get a mozza burger at a&w nine times outta ten, if i'm in a serious burger mood. just in a gorging mood: probably burger king. cheap mood: mcdonalds.

sorry for not using your burger gifs.

fuck, finally an ilx thread i can really get into.

you know, i really like those fucking angus burgers at mcdonald's but i usually say fuck it for the convenience of going from order to burger-arriving-on-tray-in-40-seconds quickness.

thoughts?

i'm probably gonna eat two wendy's singles tonight -- there's no five guys like place here that has good burgers that you can get in <15 so i just go to wendys

So, this may seem like an odd place to post this, but the vibe here (minus Ms. Gollum) is pretty positive and we're in a sharing thing, so . . .

I've recently had a really good turn in my life. Things are just more straight-forward than they've been in a long, long time, and I'm enjoying putting one in front of the other to keep it going like this. Sort of like hitting a nice flat area on a bike ride . . . you still gotta pedal, but once you got a good spin going, all you gotta do is keep spinning.

Anyway, I took advantage of this very positive time to prioritize things that I want to do. Like, big picture. One of them is to become a truly excellent cook. I've enjoyed cooking up until now, and have had a modicum of success with the things I have made repeatedly. I want to take it to the next level.

Ergo, this weekend is the weekend that I work out my own hamburger recipe. I am thinking somewhere in the 1/3 pound range, but possibly higher in order to stand up to the grill (charcoal, of course).

I will take plenty of pictures to photo document and post them here.

NYC Burgers I Have Known and Loved: Ear Inn; Nancy Whiskey; White Horse Tavern; Lucky Strike; Pop Burger; Spike Hill; Pies N Thighs

A friend of mine called me out on it last weekend, claiming I couldn't make a great burger.

Needless to say, I wish to prove him wrong.

sexyD--you, me, l@l@ @ vict0ry need to take a trip to Molly's ASAP.
still never tried ear inn.

Molly's? Sure, anytime. You should come meet me for lunch at the Ear some off weekday.

next monday?
molly's is dope irish pub on 3rd ave with, srsly, one of the best burgers i've ever eaten period.

Speaking of NYC, there used to be a place called Diane's on 72nd and Amsterdam when I lived there that had a great burger. Dont know if its still there, that was 17 years ago.

Monday: we're on, one o'clock, corner of Spring and Washington.

you gots it.

They offer a single-patty Baconator now I guess, but when I went into Wendy's the other day the girl asked "double?" when I ordered. I had a moment of confusion. Double Baconator? That would be four patties. I mean, wouldn't a single Baconator just be a Big Bacon Classic (or whatever they're calling it now) without lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle? Or is there actually double bacon on a Baconator, whether single or double?

I miss Wendy's. I have been living in Wendy's Exclusion Zones for a couple of years.

Had a Big Mac a couple of hours ago. I swear there is some chemical in the Big Mac that is actually beneficial to health. When I'm rundown or whatever I swear it does me good. Maybe there's a ton of zinc or vitamin B12 or something in it, despite all the cholesterol. I have been eating a lot of pizza lately and I swear pizza is harder on my digestive system than Big Mac.

cause you're probably sketchy with processing dairy?

B.L.A.M. has his or her priorities straight.

i just checked out that silverlake place, omar, that you mentioned, the fix - excellent burger imo

how many hamburgers can i eat in a day?

lunch: 2 a&w mozza burgers (yvr location features self-serve burger ordering robot, so i can get what i prefer with the press of a touch screen: no tomatoes, no lettuce, extra bacon).

dinner: 1 vera's burger (with dijon, provolone)

3:30 am, after getting back from the gym: a quarter pounder with cheese.

i think you might be the undisputed king of the burger thread, dylannn.

we're going to drive him to a triple bypass

i had tofu for dinner last night and pretty much just cereal today so far... the red meat craving is kicking in.

Tombot made me one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. I want him to come over and make me another one right now :(

The weekend got way the hell away from me. Burger plan failed in an epic manner.

Will attempt to attempt them this week or coming weekend, and will photodocument at that point.

dylannn: please recommend me a non-big chain burger in the GVRD better than Vera's or Moderne Burger if you can. Moderne Burger was an especially big disappointment.

i just wanna point out that atlanta is burgertown, u.s.a.

ann's snack bar is amazing, but i only go once a year or so - because 1.) i want to live past 50, 2.) the wait is obscenely long no matter the day & time

ear inn was great yesterday.

i love ear inn. :-)

HEY JordanS, Billiards on Broadway does a decent burger AND they have fries.
Thread has given me THE HUNGER.

had sort of a disappointing burger at a brasserie-type joint the other night. way bloodier than i ordered, and i didn't expect it to come on toast rather than a bun.

i should really find a way to block this thread from my feed

twice in the past week i've clicked on this thread only to go out for a burger later that day

probably have already put on several lbs

where did you get burgers

the weary and the tornado room are my burger jams

http://forum.watmm.com/public/style_images/master/burger_top.gif
man fatburger is some bullshit
http://forum.watmm.com/public/style_images/master/burger_bottom.gif

yeah not a fan

i just read this thread and it's just about lunchtime, but there aren't any good burgers to be had near the office :( torture...

any baltimore burger eaters itt?

I miss Shake Shack.

omg

i now understand why ppl mix egg into their burgers

it's just

yeah it's great. Onion too.

apparently the habit beat in n out et al. this year. The habit is wonderful.

I generally side with the "break the meat down as little as possible when forming the patty" crowd so I don't mix stuff into it, but I'm not going to say my way is the only right way. (I'm just going to think it.) I will say that my burgers reheat better when they haven't had anything mixed into them.

i didn't have any dry elements to mix in, just went with egg, seasoning, and yeah it was kind of a mess and broke the meat down to a surprising degree. but it held together just fine to cook and immediately eat. since i haven't tried that before, i gather that something along with the egg would help bind it together better?

egg and onion --------- no

why

i mean mcdonalds of all people dont use filler and then when yr making a burger at home yr going to??? idgi

it wasn't sawdust, it was MORE, meat PLUS egg. it cooked differently and tasted different.

bacon bits

blue cheese

just sayin, I woukd serve you up a burger you would love w/ egg and onion believe me. Sometimes garlic as well.

and it's not original. People all over the USA do this.

Worcestershire sauce too. Fuck, you know it's good when Worcestershire sauce is involved.

i used to use ketchup as a binding agent
