Beauty Lies In The Eyes Of The Burger Beholder

The Sunday Burger Challenge is back! Enjoy it!

Sunday Burger Sunday December 2010 Edition

In my ongoing quest to reach Burger Xanadu, I am proud to present to you tonight's attempt at Burger Heaven! These burgers tasted as good as they looked! I used the usual ingredients: Onion, Tomato, Iceberg Lettuce, Bacon, Ground Meat and Hellmann's Mayonnaise. What actually set these burgers apart was the use of Louisiana Gold Horseradish Pepper Sauce and Gouda cheese. I used the latter in an attempt to add a good dose of absurdity to my recipe just because I will soon connect through Amsterdam on my way to Brazil. What better way to memorize a travel itinerary than with the composition of a hamburger? Encoded in the other ingredients are the date and time of travel, seat reservations and the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything.

Who needs a flash drive when they have a burger?

Sunday Burger Research

I know this may come as a disappointment to my readers but I was forced to cancel today's Homemade Burger Challenge for the sake of research. It appears that I now I have competition in the field and in an effort to up the game, I went back to the basics with a selection of McDonald's sandwiches for me to sample. Make no mistake, this is serious business. I know it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it and as JFK once kind of said: "We choose to do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard".

The Burger challenge is about to get a whole different level! I feel inspired! Stay tuned!

Sunday Burger Sunday Continued

In my efforts to document my quest for the perfect burger, here is the result of today's attempt. A very good burger in my opinion though not as esthetically satisfying to the eyes as last week's. We did not have lettuce for our errands failed to be delivered to our place yesterday, so we tried to improvise and make up for the lack of this important ingredient. My burger consisted of two medium rare patties, pickles, fried bacon, onion, two slices of tomato, tarragon mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, melted cheese and Louisiana Gold Pepper Sauce. All in all, I can say it was a satisfactory dinner but will strive to make an even better burger next week!
