I mulled this over for some time. I declare 2019 the Year of the Burger Bud. Your job, ITT and in life: 1. Invent a burger that is so disgustingly good, so grossly satisfying, that thread deems it worthy of judgement by mouth. 2. Your burger must be novel, yet delicious. Burger is a term that can mean any ground meat, grain or vegetable substrate, on some sort of Burger Delivery Device, be it a bun, a lettuce leaf, the end of your Bowie knife, etc. It shall always be presented on a method of conveyance to the mouth. 3. The burger shall abide by all BYOB rules. 4. The burger is not a hot dog sandwich, which is actually a soup in a bread bowl. From this day, January 1, 2019, those sacrificing their time and social lives to participate in the Burger Trials shall have one month, until February 1, 2019, to post their Burger, with process and recipe, for judging by mouth. Prizes: Friendship, a warm full belly, maybe just knowing that you can cook a drat fine burg. Also I'll make a little cookbook PDF of our Burger Buds recipes. Burg away, you wild free children. |

I already got a recipe that is pretty off the chain. Do the cool kids still say off the chain? Also - where do I post this? ~Thunder Burg~ *1/2 lbs 85/15 fat ratio beef *Salt *2 (thinly sliced) pieces of Dietz and Wattson: Hot Pepper NY State Cheddar Cheese with Buffalo Wing Hot Sauce. If you can't find this, just use the spiciest cheese you can find I guess - but this stuff is what makes it shine. *Liquid Smoke *1 tbs water *3-4 uncooked/non-battered red onion "rings" (just slice an onion lengthwise, and pop 3-4 of the larger rings out) *Oil/butter (for the onions) *Onion/poppy seed bun *Sriracha *A1 sauce *A cast iron skillet **OPTIONAL** Ghost Chili pepper flakes (Trader Joes sells these) First, caramelize your onion rings with some oil/butter/whatever, set aside for later. Form your beef patty by hand, making sure you only press hard enough to have it maintain its shape. Liberally (take that Trump) splash your burger with liquid smoke (both sides) Now coat each side with a moderate amount of salt (helps create a crust when pan frying) On a medium-high heat, place the burger on the skillet (no oil/butter needed) and cook each side for about 4 minutes. When you flip your burger, also lightly toast your bun. Once you've cooked the second side for about 2 minutes, place your cheese slices on the burger. SECRET SAUCE: add your tablespoon of water to the cast iron, doing your best to pour it in a "ring" around the burger. Cover the pan with another pan to create a "sauna" for your meaty boi. This will instantly gooify your cheese! Remove from heat, add ghost chili flakes if you dare! Place burger and onions on bun, top with sriracha and A1.

well I made an attempt a few days ago but for some reason I was unable to post so here goes "bacon" mushroom "burger"   I've been trying to eat less meat lately, so I thought I'd try my hand at a veggie burger. I'll be honest, more than half of this was an excuse to try a recipe I came across some time ago, eggplant "bacon" by chef john of food wishes. but beyond that, I also wanted to see whether I could make something overall satisfying from a burger perspective. the plan of attack: a patty in two parts - mushroom for meatiness, and a falafel-like chickpea patty for heft and for crunchy texture. "bacon" on top, plus lettuce, tomato, and mustard on a whole wheat bun. so this came out good, bad, and ugly. probably the best part was the eggplant bacon. you really do need to get it just right, it needs to be fairly firm and crispy (it's no good if it's limp) but if it goes all the way to black it takes on an unpleasant burned taste. still, it's worth it imo. if you go into it expecting bacon of course you'll be disappointed, but if you go into it expecting a delicious savory way to eat eggplant I suspect you'll really like it. here's a before and after (the oven) of the facon:   for the mushroom I decided to do a whole portobello cap. I initially thought I'd just saute that sucker in some olive oil and garlic, but a whole cap just doesn't cook easily that way. fortunately, I was able to just throw it into the oven with my falafel patty, and for good measure I basted it with some of the leftover bacon marinade, and that definitely did the trick. the bad/ugly was the falafel patty. I mostly followed a recipe I found online (here) except reading up on falafel so, so many other recipes said "OMG YOU HAVE TO USE SOAKED DRIED CHICKPEAS THE TEXTURE IS ALL WRONG OTHERWISE" so I did that instead of using canned chickpeas and, well, I was not impressed. the thing didn't want to hold together - just not enough binder (I was using ground walnuts, by the way, one of the options in the recipe) - and the texture was way too crumbly, especially after being baked in the oven for a while. also the flavor was really lacking, it needed more seasoning. part of the issue may be that I don't have a food processor, so I was using a blender to chop up the chickpeas. AS EVERYONE KNOWS, a blender is essentially IDENTICAL to a food processor, which is just a trick by Big Appliance to try to get people to purchase another kitchen gadget to take up space and mock us by remaining perenially unused. however, while I firmly believe the foregoing, I must also admit that blenders kind of suck at certain chopping and mixing tasks, and that may well have contributed to my issues. however, when all plated up and assembled, the thing actually tasted really good. I think it was those bacon marinade flavors that punched everything up, and with the firm meatiness of the portobello mushroom the crispy/dry falafel patty just wasn't a big issue. so this was a good learning experience. I can tell I have further experimentation to do getting a good veggie patty, although I suppose I could just buy something ready made and save myself a ton of effort.

I got some bad news yesterday and worse today, but don't worry I will be ok. the bad part is I shouldn't indulge in the burger recipe ingredients I planned on, as every penny will count for the next month or so. again, don't worry about me, no sympathy or well wishes required. I'm a grown up and can handle this stuff, lament only for a burg that could have been: za'atar black bean burger on pita bread with melted feta, tomatoes, grilled onion, tzatziki, and fresh dill. one day though, I will burg SO HARD |

This is the second time I have suggested pairing a hamburger with tzatziki sauce, but the first was a joke. edit: I found the thread and it still makes me laugh: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3701044 edit 2: oh my god the guy who didn't know it was a joke is a mod now I'm pretty sure I'm the one who made them a mod and I never realized edit 3: correction, three people who are now mods, and it's only a two page thread, this is insane to me edit 4: four people |
