Veggie burgers have acquired a bad rep because the ingredients tend to render them so lackluster seems like you are gnawing on a dog biscuit. The objective with veggie burgers is to deliver in texture and flavor and I guarantee there’s nothing yawn inducing about this take, which will not make you miss the meat, even if you’re a confirmed velociraptor. Here, the cast of characters are so intriguing and diverse, it’s going to become one of your faves of…
There’s nothing complicated about this burger. It’s a classic that could almost be confused with a sloppy joe. Just grab some good beef for the patties, have it freshly ground and some leftover chili to slap on top to make it nice and messy. Also, the addition of freshly grated cheese is pretty incomparable and use some sweet onions, the sweeter the better – Vidalia. 1 LB of dry aged Angus beef – ground by the butcher Leftover chili 1…
A burger can be killer without fancy glamburger trappings and this one is as American as apple pie and 4thof July. Ensure the meat is of superb quality, ground fresh and the bacon is Applewood, thick cut and above reproach. And why not go the extra mile to make your own ketchup and mayo, especially since there are little accoutrements? It’s those personal touches that won’t go unnoticed and will win you more browny points than you know. It’ll make…
Toasted bread, peanut butter and banana – that was Elvi’s comfort food and one of his most go-to snacks. While this burger doesn’t incorporate any bananas, (wait a minute, you could add some fried plantains for crunch – that’s an idea!) a component is peanut butter. It may sound weird but it’s a good weird. PB&B – Peanut and butter and bacon isn’t necessarily a new concept revolutionizing the burger arena, because I’m sure someone, somewhere already lathered peanut butter in…
I keep circling back to the Vegas restaurant scene, probably because it was my playground for many years, but the global eats offered in Sin City are some of the finest in the world. Elite chef’s and restauranteurs haven’t hesitated opening establishments on and off the Strip, their calling cards creating phenomenal offerings for shrewd local foodies, gourmands and first-time visitors. Most of the overactive Vegas eaters shy away from the strip, especially on their days off avoiding the daily tourist…
If you’re a tenderfoot, this one’s definitely not the ticket for you, as it packs a wallop with heat and it’s mellowed with the introduction of pickled and sweet aspects running rampant through the burger. The golden rule typically calls for only salt and pepper as seasoning for the patties, however in this case there’s an exception, as the spices get blended into the meat to pack an extra wallop. Pickle the veggies the day before and the caramelized onions…
Nothing is overlooked with this burger, although it might be yawn inducing literally and might make you want to take a nap afterwards. It’s decadent, definitely calorific, and coma inducing. Forget watching a movie, going bowling or talking the dog for a walk subsequently. In any case, you won’t really care because it was totally worth the indulgence. 8oz each beef brisket, short rib meat and sirloin – ground by the butcher Applewood smoked bacon 2 medium sized sweet…
This burger is juicy, messy and the sweet tang of the bourbon BBQ sauce makes it an instant winner. You can add bacon to make it even more decadent. The addition of the pickles is a must to cut through the sticky and spicy sugariness of the BBQ sauce. 8 oz each of sirloin, brisket and short rib meat – ground by the butcher 4 potato buns – toasted Homemade mayo Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper Sliced heirloom tomatoes…
When you look at this sexy beast you’ll want to devour it on the spot. It’s called the hangover burger for a reason. This may sound like a crazy creation, but this behemoth will tackle any party after-effects no matter how brutal the headache or queasy the stomach and it will knock your socks off, so your eyes roll to the back of your head. You need something rich to absorb the prvious night’s alcohol, but you’ll have to combat…
Out of all the burgers out there this one is definitely memorable. The flavor profile delivers a huge umami punch and it might become your preferred burger yet which I’m sure will win you ravings accolades. The aged goat cheddar may sound weird, but trust me it’s a good weird and a knock out cheese choice for this burger. 8oz each beef brisket and dry aged sirloin – ground by your butcher Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper 4 slices…
Visiting Houston, I stumbled by a small kiosk where I got the inspiration for this dawg. Rico’s Morning Noon Night isn’t a fancy spot, but don’t be fooled by this small hole in the wall, their food is gangster. This is an all-beef hotdog, steamed and grilled to crunchy perfection nestled between a toasted pretzel bun with ketchup and grilled onions. I’ve been on a bourbon recipe kick and adding some to this jam-like chutney took it to parts unknown. The…
I’m a consummate dog lover. I adore the furry four, legged kind, every breed and size. I’ve also an animal lover all my life’ I have a special affinity to horses, they are such intelligent, graceful and noble animals. I’ll admit, I’m bug-phobic and for that matter I have arachnophobia (although I am pretty handy with a can of Raid). When I lived in AZ, open, desert areas abound with wolf-spiders. If you’ve crossed paths with a wolf spider and I’m…
With the whole organic and wellness movement today, it’s no wonder that homemade is the best way to go. Where would the world be without the notorious Ketchup? However, if we are to go by statics alone, Ketchup has been dethroned by its eggy counterpart the good ol’ mayo, and now in The Land Of The Free, American mayo lovers can puff up their chests with pride. Yep, statistics spilled the beans when Quartz.com, published the shocking news that in 2014 we forked…
We’ve arrived at the much awaited first long holiday weekend of the year, which venerates our fallen military heroes. For some it heralds the beginning of summer, although some parts of our Nation are still feeling the lingering effects of a cold spell. Before you get your BBQ on, take a minute or two to venerate the men and women that’ve sacrificed so much for our nation and have given us our liberty. This holiday isn’t about margaritas, Bud Lite…
