What`s Your Best Burger??

As Aqua and I were busy trashing his boxing thread with burger discussions I wondered if anyone had ever posted anything about good burgers..........being not much of a reader of previous stuff well....it`s too bad if they did cause I`m doing it anyway......

I`m a burger guy....I`d rather have a good burger than steak, lobster, shrimp etc etc. In today`s Burger Emporiums they smother the meat with so much garbage that it completely hides the great taste of the seared beef. I`ve had some incredible burgers from down south to California(avocado was great) even tho on mine I generally only put a slice of tomato and a little Worcestershire. Although I`ve tried a little blue cheese dressing (the real stuff) that was good....or a little chili.
I spent a lot of time in Louisville in my baseball days and got to try Ollie`s Trolley Burgers ....Excellent along with their seasoned fries......


OK burger lovers....let`s see what you got and where you got it.................

You posted a good marinate:
Found the recipe aqua for Ollie Burgs....... 2lbs ground chuck
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon A.1. Original Sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon Heinz 57 steak sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon white vinegar

Mix ingredients in bag put beef in the mixture and marinade for 12 hrs....put `em on the Q

Try adding one teaspoon of liquid smoke too...

Never had a Ollie burger out where i live i started my hamburger eating career
at A&W``s in the early 50`s it progreesed to Bob`s Bigboys in the 60`s thru
the 80`s the 90`s i moved to Tracy Ca where i found Nation`s burgers and
i guess about 2 years ago i found The 5guy`s where i`m at now.

I have a short story about burgers struck me kind of funny.I worked for an rich 80 year old miser
from 1997 to 2004 he drove a Lincoln Towncar one day he came to work i parked next to him everyday
i noticed a heavy smell of MacDonalds illuminating from his car i noticed in his back seat i would say about thirty
full bags of burgers MacDonalds had a deal going on where Wednesday`s you could get those little squished
cheeseburgers for about 50 cents a piece well i asked him if he was buying lunch for everyone which he never did he said No their for me i freeze them and when i want one i nuke it.LOL hamburger connoisseur he is Not!

The best burgers are the ones I grill at home. The best burger I've had away from home was at Chillis in Buffalo, I ordered medium rare and it was awesome. My typical burger at home consists of miracle whip, hot peppers, tomato, processed cheese and salt and pepper. The burger must be medium rare to medium to bring out the juice of the meat, which usually means I have to change my plate after a couple of bites to avoid the bun getting soggy- always on a big kaiser bun and at least 1/2 pound of meat.

That recipe for Ollies I also printed in Aqua`s boxing thread.........where else? LMAO

here is the one there serving up at Lambeau Field today..20$ burger..looks awsome...:D

https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8568/...62414920_z.jpg Here is a post about a gigantic, absurd, strangely beautiful, potentially offensive food item soon to be offered at Lambeau Field.
It's called the "Big Game Burger", a 3.5-pound testament to beef, cheese, cholesterol and digestive system destruction and it will be on sale during the Packers' Sunday playoff showdown with the Cowboys. Will Brinson of CBSSports.com procured the ingredients of the great beast:
» "Big Mother" pretzel bun
» 1/2 pound of ground venison
» 1/2 pound of ground bacon
» 1/2 pound of certified Angus beef
» Crispy fried onions
» Jalapeño smoked bacon
» Lettuce (and you thought this wasn't healthy)
» Tomato (six slices)
» Pickles
» Secret sauce
» Housemade jalapeño cheese

MONSTER BURGER!!!..................not sure on that pretzel bun tho.
