The hamburger thread. (Warning delicious images inside)

Who else likes burgers?

[FrostyToast]

Now that's what I call a high quality hamburger! 

[HoffmanMyster]

I wouldn't know if I like this because I can't see the whole burger...

Foie Gras burger from Au Pied de Cochon

yay apdc! that burg sure is good.


my favourite burger is still shake shack despite having had a ton of fancy ass burgers in different places. skip the tomato and lettuce crap though.
unless you count my own stuff, but I go kinda far with my own burgs. I should start taking photos of them for this thread...
coarse ground brisket+dry aged chuck, loosely packed, seared in clarified butter, home-made sodium citrate melty-cheese, caramelized onions, crispy fried shallots, fluffy light brioche-type buns, mayo w diced pickled onion and chilies.
so hungry.

really wanted to try minetta tavern but kinda didn't get a reservation when I was in NYC previously.

also easiest quickest sickest burg: smashies

yeah see I always prefer the burgers thick. I guess if you flatten them before they get cooked you preserve most of the juices though.

[FrostyToast]

Why are there juicy hamburgers above my precious keyboard?
This is giving me nightmares

[hwood34]

But if I go to a cookout and I see you cooking these: http://www2.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=10253922&whse=BD_823&topnav=national&cat=95058&hierPath=95075*10060*95058*&lang=en-US
I assume you're a sickening human being who has no standards for food quality and not fit to cook for others

they actually aren't all that juicy, but juicy enough. really really good crust though which is like 50% of a good burger. all salty peppery maillardy goodness MMmhm

yeah crust is always good. with pretty much all other beef, I always go rare, but with ground beef, I definitely like it a medium, just cause ground beef just seems off when it isn't pretty cooked

[munch]

for sure, texture is a bit strange with raw ground beef. chopped is a different story though. just... way too much of a pita to do so for more than one burger. pink but not red for burgs imo!

Here's a silly question - if you get a burger with a stick placed vertically in the middle, what do you do with the stick?

Take it out and try not to drop bits of burger on the table?

Leave it in and try to eat around it without stabbing yourself in the gum?

[demik]

pretend it's not there and eat it

Slowly move it to the back of the burger as you eat it.
And then take it out and let everything go everywhere.

Kinda awkward when it stabs you in the gum, your teeth start to hurt and there's blood dripping on to the table.

So you should just lift the whole burger off the plate with the stick still in it and take a few bites, then put it back down on the plate, extract the stick, and poke it back in closer to the edge?

Sounds like a plan (if we ever go back to that burger place - the burgers were really nice apart from the stick).

deconstruct it. Cut it up. Enjoy your burger salad

wait rowdy did you get served a club sandwich in burger form?

No, it was a burger, advertised as such, and with a rounded bun on top.

[munch]

but it had a stick. I dunno, man.

[Karura]

I had this awesome burg. It was like two super thin smashed patties that were crispy. Might try doing that as a variation on the Seriouseats recipe

[mauri]

Went to hard rock cafe once, they had some kick ass burgers

[CPTBadAss]

I love you Shake Shack.

[munch]

smokestack so goood

[Findecanor]

Oh... now you're making me hungry for a burger. Damn you, I have only had fast food for dinner in the last three days already.

I usually slice a whole tomato and cook that in the frying pan until reduced enough to the size of one large slice with concentrated flavour, and then place that on the burger patty.

yeah tomatoes have too high water content, I do that too if I want tomato on my burgers.

flippin' burgers is pretty good, ever been? also flying elk in gamla stan has a pretty good burger too but it was a tad over-hyped imo.

[rowdy]

Who puts beetroot on their burgers?

[Sent]

If you're in SoCal, you should try Father's Office burger if you haven't already.  Delicious as ****.

This is a terrible thread and you should all feel bad.

Agreed, considering I haven't had lunch. 

[Findecanor]

I may be seen as a traitor to The Burger Cause.. but I'm actually a vegetarian.  For me a burger is a lot about the topping and meat flavour is unwanted.

Gamla Stan is too much of a overpriced tourist trap for me to eat there often. I used to work in Gamla Stan so I have had lunch practically everywhere in that area, but I think that Flying Elk must have opened after I left.
I also tend to avoid hipster joints suffering from amerofilia...

Who puts beetroot on their burgers?

I've used beetroot salad when I have been out of mayonnaise. The beetroot is boiled and chopped, then pickled, then drained and mixed with mayonnaise. It is a classic condiment to Swedish meatballs, often on sandwiches and especially in Christmas time, so why not with a flat large meatball in a bun?

There is also a dish called "Biff a'la Lindström" which are fried patties of ground beef, mustard, pickled beet root (finely diced) and capers, often made also with an egg yolk in the batter to help keep it together. I sometimes do a vegetarian version of it. Would be an unusual taste for a burger though.

haha, yeah I agree - it's quite overpriced. flying elk opened just a few years ago, it's by the same people behind restaurant frantzén (so basically just frantzén I guess, but I think he opened it with lindeberg when he was co-owner of frantzén).
alright alright, flippin' burger is totally amerophile hipstery - BUT they make good burgers so you gotta give them that... even if you don't eat meat!

Boathouse @ Kitsilano Beach.  ;D
I forgot the name, since the picture was taken about 2-3yrs ago, but it was under the Hamburger/sandwich section of the lunch?(or dinner menu, not sure). Some kind of roast beef dip sandwich with yam fries.  :)

If you go there, and will be getting dessert, I guarantee you will not be able to finish their brownie. It's fking huge!
