Best Burger in Town

Can be found at the Duncraggen. That's right. Last night I went to Fairway and decided to make burgers for dinner (this is what's up next). But these were no ordinary burgers. These were lamburgers- a 1:1 ratio of organic beef to lamb. I seasoned them with fresh pressed garlic, parsley, rosemary, crushed chili peppers, sea salt, cracked pepper, and lemon juice. Toped with American cheese, Grey Poupon, a lightly futtered (fake butter) and toasted Kaiser roll with mixed green, tomatoes and red onions. For a side, I made sugar snap peas, grilled zucchini, and sweet potato fries (ok, I cheated with the fries). Oh yeah, and a nice cold Newcastle. Damn that was a good meal. With the left over lamburger meat, I added some fresh grated Parmesan reggiano and rolled them up into meatballs for a future dish.

My original plan was to add bacon to the burger. Mike thought that was a bit decadent...I thought the idea of three animals in one bite was pretty impressive. Like the Turducken, only better. Maybe not...that turducken looks pretty good.

  • A-HEM.

    I believe a lamburger is made entirely of lamb. Or so say the top few hits on Google.

    I'd say you had made some form of Frankenbuger, like a Moolamburger.

  • Yeah I know, but it could be lamb+hambuger. I was too lazy to come up with a more creative name. And if I had to come up with a creative one, I guess Moo-bleet-burger.

  • That Turducken is the grossest food product I have seen in a while. It's things like that that keep pushing me closer and closer to being a vegetarian.

  • The Turducken is actually tasty. I had it once. It's all about how you cook it. Any meat product looks really gross when you buy it (Have you seen a pork picnic with the bone? Or hocks? Or chicken as they are eviserating them? All gross (especially when you do it yourself)) but very tasty in the end.

  • I will testify: The burgers were amazing.

    I'm all about about trying them with bacon. In fact, I suggested she make them with bacon next time (yes yes, I am one lucky man).

    I resisted the bacon because my diet had been a bit bacon heavy the previous week.
