Just had a $15 dollar burger. Now exploding from bulk beef.

[Rubycon]

Was it alternator sized?

Looks like a Nippondenso. That's what happens when you eat Japanese cars! :biggrin:

 

[Ns1]

I think they forgot to grill your onion. Or is that the cheese under the tomato?

tomato, lettuce, swiss, red onion, grilled onion, mushrooms, and bacon.

 

[TehMac]

turn in your man kard!

yea I'm kinda raising my eye brows too...

 

[Rubycon]

$15 isn't even going to cover gratuity on this!

:biggrin:

meh... doesn't sound too tasty to me.

It is dressed with 100-year-old balsamic vinegar and the sourdough bread - which costs £5 alone - is sprinkled with powdered E175. That's gold dust to you and me.

The chef used a £5 loaf of sourdough dressed with extra virgin olive oil and then layered cheese, slices of quail's egg, heirloom black tomato, epicure apple, and fresh figs.

He added dainty mustard red frills, pea shoots and red amaranth for a salad layer and topped the whole masterpiece with edible gold dust.
The cost of the entire sandwich put together runs to £111.95.

Not bad. Here is a pic of our local big burger.

I don't like pink burgers. I like steak tartare, beef carpaccio, and I like my steaks rare, but burgers I like cooked somewhere close to medium-well.

Same here, I love rare/medium steaks, but I don't like the texture of rare ground beef. Not into meat pudding, I want to chew my beef.

So you've never seen a ground beef steak sold as a menu item under "steaks" before? All they did was throw it on the bun. Just because it's ground beef does not make it a low quality meat.

 

[Rubycon]

I'm sure the words "acquired taste" come to mind...

Even if absolutely bodacious for the asking price the thrill fades to neverland too fast for my tastes. :biggrin:

It's not that, it's just that they are stuck in the mindset that a hamburger cannot be great quality because they associate hamburger with only being fast food. I've gone to many expensive places and eaten some of the best burgers I've ever had instead of a steak.

 

[TraumaRN]

Now thats a LARGE burger

World record at 185.6 pounds

Place is just a couple miles from my house...and they serve up some damn good burgers.

 

[KeithTalent]

I've ordered a burger at a top-end eatery cus their burgers were highly regarded. Asked me how I wanted it cooked and told them medium. Just because I'm in a fancy/expensive place doesn't mean I'm going to change how I eat my food.

I just do not like burgers enough to order them from a fancy restaurant and there are enough decent burger joints around where I can find a good tasting burger. If I am going to walk into a steakhouse I am going to order a steak.

[PhineasJWhoopee]

and it was worth every single goddamn penny.

Morton's Prime Burger @ Annie Morton Steakhouse

Seriously felt like a half pound+ of wet aged ground sirloin, topped with swiss cheese + bacon + mushrooms + grilled onions.

The ground beef was just exploding with...beefiness.

oh man, I think I'm about to pass out.

Did it come with stints for your arteries?

for some reason... i'm noticing a trend.

every burger is made with waygu beef and truffles. some even add fois-gras.

So they're not really making an expensive burger... they're just adding expensive condiments.

I went back today.

This time it came out a little overcooked, Med Well instead of Med Rare

Let me tell you, anyone who is ordering a good hamburger cooked MW is fucked in the head. MR > MW x infinity.

Ns1, I am mad you didn't send me a PM and invite me to lunch I want to eat a big delicious burger

Coworker took a look at it when it came out said "it doesn't look that big"

halfway through he started looking at his burger in defeat

he managed to eat 3/4 before giving up.

3 big failures in this thread:

1) Eating a burger, from anywhere, that you didn't grind yourself and that's not fully cooked is just asking for e.coli or other fun infection.
2) Sous-vide burger? Why? That's so wrong.
3) There's no point in boasting about a wet-aged burger. Wet aging brings pretty much nothing to the table except for maybe a bit of extra tenderness, which is completely lost if you grind up the primal.

Well you're only wrong on 2/3

$15 and they didn't even cook it all the way. You got ripped off.

cooking less is harder than cooking more

 

[simonizor]

The center of that burger looks like it isn't cooked at all. No thank you.

cooking less is harder than cooking more

This statement is not entirely true. Sure, it's harder to get something to it's ideal temperate than it is to burn the hell out of it, but that doesn't mean that it's always harder to cook something less than it is to cook it more. This burger is a perfect example. It's much easier to brown something on both sides and call it done than it is to cook it so that the meat is done evenly all the way through.
