Burgers!

[jillian]

Not the condiments J..The burger itself is what I’m talking about.

If it's not a 'good' burger to start with it never will be..Like a chuck steak vs a filet.

oh... I agree! For junk food burgers, I like BK and Wendy's. For a big greasy burger, I like Jackson Hole, but for the really good stuff, I like the filet mignon burgers at Union Square Cafe, NYC, Peter Luger's Burger and the ones at Balthazar in Soho.

But none are as good as mine.

I'd NEVER grind filet for a burger! Anyone that does should be shot on the spot! Along with the folks that use Ketchup on a steak and the ones that order WELL DONE too.

Try the filet burger before you knock it. lol.. Me? I use sirloin when I make them, though. I used to eat burgers cremated.... now at least I order medium well.

Steak? I only like filet mignon.

Acutally that really is a misuse of a filet. Beef filet does not contain enough fat that a burger should have, filets typically do not have much flavor, it is relatively unused muscle with little or no marbeling. But on a menu it can be marketed well and used as an upcharge, there are portions of the filet that cannot be used as a steak so such a use does make sense.

Really, I do like filet, but I like a New York strip better.

I order my burgers, medium.

Did you ever use the method I posted?

Honestly I can't quite remember your method. From what I remember I believe it was similar to what I typically do. It seems like you concentrated the beef flavor by doing a dry age technique on the roast. The seasoning was about the same.

Porterhouse for me!

The best burger is of course my own. And now that y'all got me hungry, I must go.

[dan]

I like the double cheeseburger from McDonald's.

Nah, of course the best burgers are homemade. When I make burgers, I usually sautee some mushrooms in butter and diced garlic, then have mushroom & swiss burgers.

The Ram makes some great burgers. So does Fuddruckers.

My favorite combo is a medium-cooked burger with ketchup, chipotle mayo, salsa, guacamole, and pepperjack cheese.
