It Is Burger Time You Suckas!!

Molly Hatchet

    So today I go to lunch at Brewbaker's Brewery in downtown Visalia,Ca. I pull up a stool at the bar order my beer (Dopplebock) and asked what was the special called "Australian Open" and as the bartender began to describe what was in on the burger and as soon as he got to the fact that there was on egg on the burger I say "That will do...Lets go with that".

    Recently I filled out an application for one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Ana,Ca and one of the questions on the application was asking about my favorite burger and why. So this got me thinking...What makes a good burger?

Double-Double Animal Style

   First and for most how do you have your burger cooked? I like my burger medium rare to medium because there is nothing worse then an overcooked burger. If you are out and you order anything over medium you are looking at an overcooked burger, especially if it sits under heat for a few minutes.

    I put the question out there "What make a good burger?". David Villalpando for Fist City MX says a good burger is "sirloin, chorizo, bleu cheese, jalapeno and onion rolls oh yeah and bacon!!"

    One of my favorite things to do when in LA is hit up the Grill Em All Truck because the truth is they have some of the best burgers around. Not only do you get burgers based on your favorite metal bands but just good damn food. Oh yeah by the way have opened a brick and mortar in Alhambra! Can not wait to visit there real restaurant.

Waste Em All

Well in the end is there a such things as the perfect burger, I don't know because like anything that is good it is subjective. A good burger is only as good as its ingredients. If you use crappy meat, crappy cheese or mediocre then guess what you are going to get a crappy burger.
   
   If you are at home making burgers use the time to experiment, do not just slap meat into a patty and if you are out grow a pair of balls and try something new when it comes to your burger. Trust me it is the best way to go.
