Daughter's having a burger this evening. Wife and I are having grilled mushroom towers. Three portobella caps, with bell pepper, caramelized onion (supposed to be ramps, but I don't have a source), cheese sandwiched between each pair, and a raspberry-balsamic reduction over it all. It's one of the things that make life good.

Mmmm, that sounds good!

Unfortunately many businesses have closed over the past year.:(

Sadly, the business was still thriving, but the owner is very ill and is in the hospital.
 
Somebody help me out here. The best burger place I remember from growing up on Long Island in the 50s and 60s was a place called Dave Shores (not certain of the spelling) somewhere in the middle of Nassau County. Does anyone else remember this place?

You are doing life right!
 
A fair number of good burgers out in Tucson, I think. But a place called "Divine Bovine" opened near us not long before the pandemic and continued throughout. Have done some takeout recently (we went once pre) - the burgers are delicious, you can basically get either the burger or chicken "your way" although they have combinations pre-listed as well. They were doing Bison burgers as well, but I think not anymore.

BUT - We get Homemade Tater-Tots there. Words fail me. And for some reason they have Brussel Sprouts on the menu. These are the best Brussel Sprouts I have ever had.

This is the first local restaurant I have filled out a review for on-line. Not because I don't like lots of places, but because I don't (as a rule) do reviews.
 
Had a burger at a restaurant in Colorado one time, don't remember exactly where. West of Denver, we were heading toward Steamboat Springs, I think it was somewhere along a main highway, before we turned north.

Anyway, the burger was pretty good, but what set it apart was that it had fried cactus on it. Never seen that before or since. It was lightly breaded and fried. It was sorta like a pickle, but different. Really enjoyed that. Would like to have that again some time. Not even sure what kind of cactus, maybe prickly pear?
 
My favorite used to be from a place in Chicago called Fluky's. They are long gone, I think. Now my favorite burger is one that I make with mozzarella stuffed in it then I put it on the smoker and add a slice of applewood-smoked pork belly and bacon.
 
Friendly reminder that today is the official National Hamburger Day. I'm sure plenty of restaurants are offering specials. Yall know what to do. To all of yall that choose to celebrate, I'll be a bit disappointed if yall don't consume at least 1/3 pound of ground beef today... At least.

I jumped the gun and had a burger last night, at Hamburger Harry's in downtown Edmonds, WA. Yummy.

Bummer. I just picked up three T-bones(way on sale). I could freeze 'em, but. . . nah.
 
For those in CT. Lou's Lunch is great, so is Max Burger in West Hartford and even Bobby Flay's counter in Mohegan Sun . Harry's in Colchester is more of a memory from days gone by (on the way to the beach)
 
Well believe it or not, I overdid it a bit trying to celebrate today. Went to Porterhouse Burger Company here in Greensboro for the first time.. been thinking of trying it out for awhile. They had a multitude of burgers to choose from... but I went ahead and got the Pig Burger. 1/2 pound burger... topped with pulled pork bbq, housemade pimento cheese, bbq sauce, red onions, and pickles. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Probably have to eat kale and drink water for the rest of the weekend :(

Did the guy making the pig burger look anything like this?

We just had char-broiled burgers cooked on the grill...not a mango or mint leaf in sight. Just extra sharp cheddar cheese, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, Montreal steak seasoning, brisket rub, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato and Vidalia onion, ketchup, hot sauce and jalapeno mustard, all served on butter toasted, whole wheat, bakery hamburger rolls.

Please don’t ever post like this again! Have a modicum of compassion for those of us who have to read this!
