Why do I get a feeling the next time I order a burger, I'm going to feel dirty?I once dated a guy who moaned and grunted when he ate. One time, I brought him home a slice of Oreo cheesecake, and I thought he was going to have an orgasm on the spot. Ew.(Via The Soup)

Its not always easy being a vegetarian. I found that most foods taste bland until you get the hang of cooking without meat.
I cooked with meat so long that I felt lost when my doctor told me to stop eating meat, especially beef.

Lon picked up some Apple Smoked Salt (Maine Sea Salt Co.) at The City Bakery today. Yea, weird that they sell this, but we're still glad. It's amazing stuff. The scent is so strong that you could just leave the container open on a table to appetize the senses. I thought the salt would be great for Bison Burgers (or any burger). I mixed the meat with finely chopped onion, and roasted jalapenos (fro

Some evenings you are actually able to eat a meal at home, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you have a lot of time to prepare it, right? Here is a recipe that is quick, easy, and has gotten great reviews around my house.

After my class today, I decided to go to the city to buy something as a take home for my family. I was choosing among the burgers from Big Ben, a local fast food and the very famous Mc Burgers. First, I decided to buy some burgers from Big Ben because of the following reasons. One, I love the size of the burger, it's huge. Second, I love the tast

This weekend just gone we had some friends over, nominally for a barbecue. I say that as we had invited them for a barbecue, with optimism in the weather that is a very British characteristic. This is the same optimism which sees some men wearing shorts from April through to October, irrespective of how hot it is, "because it's summer".We got up on Saturday morning, the sun was shining, the sky wa

Yes, another recipe using the famous Magimix 4200. My previous blender was not powerful or sharp enough to chop meat, so I was pleased to read in the instruction manual that this one is.

This meal was one of the more experimental things I have tried and I'm pleased to say it turned out really well. I modified the recipe for the sushi 'burgers' from here.

Have you ever made a cheese-stuffed burger? The most common method is to put a mound of cheese between two ultra-thin hamburger patties and pinch the sides. The downside to this approach is that if you haven't sufficiently sealed the edges of the burgers, all the melted cheese leaks out when you cook them. Also you can scald your tongue on the hot melty cheese if you're not care

I hadn’t heard from Alex Martinian in two years, since the spring of 2006 when he was a high school junior and I met with him in preparation for his applying to college in the fall. The email was so thrilling to me that I asked Alex’s permission to use it for my blog. He graciously s
Looking for a way to spice up a summer barbecue?

You had me at the avocado dressing.The folks at Cookthink won me over quick and easy. I am a sucker for a different, yet tasty burger. Especially one that lets me smear it with avocado goodness. What can I say, I'm a slut for them. (Avocados AND burgers, really.)I don't normally like my food salty, but it did indeed go really well with the creamy dressing - just like they said it would! We skipped the tomatoes, but I think their cool juiciness would have been a nice touch. Served with roasted red potatoes, this was a delightful dinner.My only suggestion would be to up this whole thing by half and I'll tell you why - these burgers shrink. Not one of the four burgers was very big in the end, and one was even very sadly small (but hideously cute!). So make more - or just plan on them being l

Current market data for February 22, 2008 shows a better environment for restaurants with menus dominated by burgers and fries. Using a pub sized portion for the burger (8 ounces) and the french fries (8 ounces), these operators have picked up 3 cents since last year. The price of soybean shortening has doubled. This unfavorable trend is offset by stable prices for frozen potatoes and ketchup and a decline in the ground beef price.Market Data from Foodservice.com (www.foodservice.com) - An Online Community for Foodservice Operators was used in creating the chart.Operators looking for greener grass in the other vegetable oil markets won't find much relief. Canola oil and corn oil are both way up since February 2007. I'm using Wenzel Menu Maker's oil-to-fries ratio of 8 pounds oil per 100 po

I have no idea where he picked up this lovely phrase, but every so often my 2 year old will run up to me out of the blue and say “Mommy, I see in your nose, and you got burgers!!” Burgers somehow sounds more pleasant than boogers, so I haven’t bothered to correct him. Not to mention I’m incredibly immature well-humored and it makes me giggle like mad when he says it. Giggling causes him to repeat it a few times, sending me into further fits of laughter, and he starts laughing too. Good times I tell ya.
Last night one of the older two decided they needed to correct him on it, and before you know it, Damian is running around telling us all we have boogers. I wasn’t nearly as amused by this, but he was incredibly excited about his new-found phrase. So excited he turns to our back door, opens it, stands in the doorway, and yells as loud as his little lungs will allow “I see in your nose, and you got BOOGERS!!!!”. Before I could stop him, he did it
Note: I am posting this review without picture because I had a bad experience. You can look at pictures of those allegedly "best and succulent" burgers from other blogs, links below at the end of the reviewNow I usually do my research before I do a review, and the first link that came up was Klue Blog. Sarah Chan, blogged a review of this Carl's Jr, and sang praises for the outlet in Sunway Pyramid. She totally loved it, like its the best freaking burger ever. I guess she's paid to do it, because I don't believe what Klue tells us nowadays - they are paid to say nice things....I was at MidValley's outlet, newly opened of course, with all those anticipation of this "really good" burger hype la.You can't miss it, its located on the third floor of South court of Midvalley, right smack infront of GSC's ticketing counter, and next to McD's.

Consumers in other states should also be cautiousConsumers purchasing frozen hamburger patties need to remain vigilant so that they don’t purchase E. coli-tainted meat that should have been removed from stores weeks ago.New Jersey officials say they continue to find the recalled product on sale around the state and it may well be for sale in other states as well.New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram is advising state Attorneys General throughout the country to increase inspections of retail stores for recalled frozen hamburgers after her Division of Consumer Affairs and Department of Health and Senior Services investigators continue to find these products for sale in New Jersey.Division of Consumer Affairs investigators, working in conjunction with state, county and municipal health inspectors, have found that Topps Meat Company frozen hamburgers recalled for potential E.coli contamination were still on sale in 12 retailers in northern and southern New Jersey this month, despite t

You know its not that we would try and pull that marketing gimmick of repackaging pop culture bits from your youth and pawning them for consumption. Sorry about that. Not even sure if these are around anymore.Seems like Gene learned that having a business partner can be a messy affair. Wikipedia sums it up:His name has been associated with fast food chain, Mean Gene’s Burgers, and a chain of pizzerias located within bowling alleys, Mean Gene's Pizza. These are owned by Hot Stuff Foods, which was headed by two of his nephews. Early in 2006, Okerlund and Hot Stuff split. Okerlund and one of the nephews were planning to start their own food company on the brands, but Hot Stuff sued, claiming they had "Mean Gene" trademarked. Okerlund lost, with the judge saying that Okerlund can't use the name "Mean Gene" for his new food company. Okerlund succeeded in cancelling the trademark registrations held by Orion, but remains enjoined from competing with Orion.Mean Gene always had a qualit
Competitive eater Joey Chestnut downed 103 Krystal burgers in 8 minutes to win the 3rd Krystal Square Off and $10,000.
Krystal is a mini-hamburger chain much like White Castle. I’ve seen them in the South Eastern part of the U.S. Don’t know how far North they go. I enjoy them equally which is to say, I don’t enjoy them at all. They upset my stomach… bad.
Anyway, Kobayashi is still out with his jaw pain (same thing that hurt him during the Nathan’s Hot Dog competition in July). Now there are 2 titles and records that Chestnut has taken away from Kobayashi. I have a feeling that when Kobayashi recovers, he will be back with a vengeance.

Florida firm recalls beef bound for prisonsTopps Meat Company is out of business and media attention to the company's huge 22-million-pound ground beef recall largely fizzled out.But the beef? It's still out there.Investigators for the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs this week purchased recalled Topps frozen hamburgers in a Union City, New Jersey store, resulting in immediate subpoenas to the store’s New York City-based distributor.The 22 million pounds of ground beef was recalled last month because it was contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 bacteria. At the time it announced the recall, the company said it believed the majority of the tainted burgers had already been eaten.The recalled products bear the Topps name and also other brand names including Butcher’s Best, Kohler Foods, Mike’s, Pathmark, Rastelli’s Fine Foods, Roma-Topps, Sam’s Choice, Sand Castle, ShopRite and West Side.Link to complete story: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/10/topps_sold.html~

To say that it is "flame broiled" is an understatment. This hockey puck comes in at $5.50, or $7.50 for about 15 french fries.

At least the cheese is cold so you know it has been stored properly (ok.....we all know what the out come would be, lets leave it be already).Well at least they have beer to wash it down. It's $8.00.

AmericanCheese is quickly becoming one of the more daring Portland Hamburglers out there. I don't think this place can decide if it wants to be a burger, burrito, sandwich, or breakfast joint. And it looks oddly like an Mexican A&W on the inside.I think the old adage goes, if you try to do too many things, you probably can't do one thing well. Anyway, got the bacon cheeseburger. Not bad, but not great. Yellow mustard but no ketchup on the burger? Chopped romaine lettuce? Weird.Oh, and they forgot my bacon... and they cooked it right up and brought it out to me in a hotdog wrapper. Best bacon I've ever had.

Actually I wouldn't mind eating gourmet burgers or expensive burgers once a while as long as they were worth it or tasty but the Carl's Junior ones at One U were disappointing. Imagine, a family of three would end up paying more than RM50 for 3 burgers and for that price, you can have a complete meal in a restaurant like TGIF or Italiannies.
So you read about my Dot Com Pho with the guys at Pho Lan in Richmond, right? Well this time around, three days later I ended up reuniting with everyone again at Feenie's (which is located right next door to Lumiere--yes, I was there two days ago) after John asked a bunch of us to go eat $50 burgers. We all agreed--what were we thinking!!The goal today was to experience the 100% Angus beef burger at Feenie's, which comes with fries or salad for about $16. I've had this burger before and it's darn good--served medium with cheese, mushrooms, and bacon, the Angus beef patty is so juicy and tender. However, we had previously decided at the Dot Com Pho last Saturday to load up on the fixins', such as pan seared foie gras and beef short ribs (which were conveniently hidden underneath the patty), bringing the total of this burger to under $60 after a 17% autograt!Here's my burger, served with fries which also includes the various dips, such as a tasty mayo/fish sauce, dill mayo, and oth

A long long time ago I worked retail on Colorado Boulevard and frequented Crown Burgers almost daily. It’s been a while since I returned, despite now biking to work and back daily only three blocks away.
I was across the street at Moda Furniture ordering some lamps and popped into Crown Burgers for lunch. Still the same great place run by the same friendly Greek family after 20 years.
My usual order, the quarter pounder, has a unique sauce (Greek inspired,) and another favorite of of mine is the pastrami burger.
From the Westword Review:
The casual, kitschy Crown Burger has an odd Greek-American hamburger-stand menu that includes giant omelettes, cheeseburgers, fries and gyros, as well as a monster ham-and-pastrami hand grenade called the Royal Burger, all of which you can eat in or order as you drive through. That’s the best way to grab Crown’s best offering: a breakfast burrito overstuffed with ingredients taken straight from the long line of flat grills in the ga

by Donna Rivera-LoudonIts not always easy being a vegetarian. I found that most foods taste bland until you get the hang of cooking without meat. I cooked with meat so long that I felt lost when my doctor told me to stop eating meat, especially beef. Here are two really yummy recipes for the vegetarians that my friends and I put together. Give them a try. I think you will agree that they make being a vegetarian a lot more enjoyable.MUSHROOM BURGERS1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced1 large onion, minced2 slices white bread, finely diced2 T oyster sauce1 eggsalt to tasteground black pepper to tasteCoat a large skillet with cooking spray, and place over mediumheat.

I made these for lunch after we returned from our flight this morning. My friend Tristan requested them, and since we'd just received a fresh shipment of seafood goodness, I complied. I was so thrilled to have landed in "one piece" I would have complied to any request. For food, people!
