Happy National Burger Day!

[RichieB]

A washout here in Western Mass today. But I still am going to honor the mighty burger, just indoors. Pull out the griddle to do a couple of smashed burgers with caramelized onions and cheese. Heat it up with Flat Iron Dark and Smokey BBQ Rub.

[Jfrosty27]

Oops. Burgers on tap for tomorrow. 🤷‍♂️🤦

[Attjack]

This caught me off guard. Fortunately, I'm heading to a bar that has great burgers soon.

[Mosca]

I had a burger for breakfast today!

[Jfrosty27]

I’m like you. I’ll eat anything at anytime of day. Yesterday I had leftover fried chicken and waffle fries for breakfast at about 8:30 AM. This morning it was an egg salad sandwich.

[Mosca]

Azzackly. Who’s to say that a cheeseburger isn’t as good as eggs and toast?

[Alan Brice]

Or chocolate cake hay eggs flour butter gotta be good!

My sister emailed that to me but I swear someone here said it was Burger Day a month or so back. I don’t mind celebrating twice!

[Panhead John]

I can top that! Here’s a kale burger I made just the other day…yum yum!

[RichieB]

What magazine did you get that from?

[Panhead John]

Vegans Monthly, I’m a lifelong subscriber.

[Attjack]

They didn't have a kale burger so I had to get the double.

[RichieB]

Panhead John I don't have cuz never had Coors Lite.

[RichieB]

Attjack at least the whiskey compensated.

[Attjack]

It always does.

Yep, National Burger Day. I wonder how many remember the first thing they ever grilled was a burger and called it a "barbeque". Rip the package open, make some patties and grill them to a near hockey puck texture with some melted cheese on top all the while fighting smoke in your eyes while with no technique trying keep the flip on the grill. No exotic beef, custom seasoning, flat top smash, reverse sear, stuffing or sous vide (what, what?!). Was it perfect? Yes, yes it was perfect enough to enjoy with friends and some cold ones before a time when we now seem to need to redefine everything. So to celebrate the day, I went back to those roots, ripped open the package and threw some lightly salted patties on the gasser that was hot as the sun, fought the smoke and went back to a simpler time when perfect was relative. To be fair I did through the years finally get past making hockey pucks to napkins required burgers and well, for National Burger Day that was perfect.
