The "$100.00 Gourmet Burger "
Sqwertz
Toasted Onion Kaiser Roll: $.33
1/3 lb home-ground brisket: $.28
2 slices of HEB premium, thick sliced bacon $.40
1 thick slice of Finlandia Munster Cheese: $.17
1 pickled jalapeno, sliced thin: $.03
Sriracha mayo and ketchup: $.04
Method:
The bacon was cut in half to facilitate cooking and assembly. The
burger patty is one of 12 I ground from whole brisket and froze last
week. It was cooked from frozen state at the same time and in the
same pan as the bacon (I'll have to do that more often). The
jalapeno is sliced thin and placed on the burger and under the
cheese for the last minute of cooking. The sriracha must be mixed
with the mayo before spreading on the toasted bun.
Results:
Time to cook, assemble and clean up after this this "goremay $100.00
Burger" (the only kind Sam will eat [sic]): 11 minutes.
Cost of this $100.00 goremay Burger : $1.25.
Tastewise: You won't get anything this tasty from a drive thru.
My only regret is that I didn't make 2, or make it a double (which
would have only taken 1 minute longer).
Compare this to running out and grabbing a Quarter Pounder W/cheese
for $2.39 +tax and the choice is pretty clear.

Sounds damn good, sw!

Seconded. I've always done BK style ketchup and mayo, so I'll have to
try the sriracha mayo next time I make burgers.

Steve, any kindergartener will tell you that burger won't taste as good as
one you'll pay $100 dollar's for at a gourmet restaurant.
And my personal opinion is it won't taste as good as a quarter pounder.
Mcdonald's knows how to cook a damn good burger or they wouldn't be in
business all those year's.

Really. I don't even consider what McDonald's serves as burgers.
They've tweaked them so much over the years that they are no longer
recognizable as hamburgers tastewise. The QP with cheese, for
example, is nothing but mushy mass of overly sweet goo with no
texture except the lone pickle slice. You simply can't make
something like that at home - why would you?

I'm in the right area of the US, but I don't care for whataburger for
various reasons. The burgers at Sonic, also in this area, are fairly
decent. Of course going outside the fast food thing, Fudruckers does a
pretty good burger.
Still, it's difficult to top a home made burger using fresh ground
non-oxidized meat promptly cooked over very hot charcoal to crispy
outside, rare inside.

It's all about the marketing and hype, although even that sometimes
fails as was the case when Krispy Creme came to the northeast and failed
within a couple years.

Sale schmale... gots to be mighty gristlely meat when the burger costs less
than the roll... that Sqwartz booger cost less than 1/3 the price of a 3 oz
can of gourmet cat food... my cats eat better than that furschluganeh
mextexican. LOL LOL
And only a TIADer would use muenster cheese on a burger, schtinks like toe
cheese. hehe And he makes fun of me... heck, a third pound of grilled SPAM
costs like three times his gristley booger .
I don't believe him anyway, when he says he ground the meat his ownself and
he shoulda made two burgers... no one is going to dirty a grinder for a 1/3
lb of meat... that's why he didn't post a picture, he never made that
burger, no way, no how... the dwarf prolly made up this disney tale as an
alibi for his mugging a three year old for a Happy Meal! <G>

Yeah - you got me there. I bought 2 briskets and cut off 1/3rd of a

I guess you missed this part:
"The bacon was cut in half to facilitate cooking and assembly. The

Figures it would take somebody as brain-dead as Dimitri.
In and Out is the most over-rated hamburger on the planet. Yes,
I've had them plenty of times, and no, I never thought it was worth
it - no matter what covert phrases you use when you order it that
enable them to try and make it so that you'll like it.
And those fires simply suck. Well-done or not. Not to mention the
damn religious slogans on all the packaging.
I will give them credit for paying their employees well, though.
That was the only thing I admired about I&O. But that has pretty
much been negated by all their internal family squabbles.
Nothing beats a home-cooked burger - at least not at my house. If
you can't beat I&O - or McDonald's - in your own home then you
simply can't cook.

Millions of people eat them for one of two reasons:

Homemade burgers are always the best, but In & Out (and Jack In The Box
and Steak N Shake) are all very good FF burgers IMO.

I either do the K&M thing or the Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, and Mayo. I
prefer to not mix ketchup and mustard with mayo. If bacon is on the
burger, I go the mayo route (BLT thing, I guess). I'd love to find a FF
restaurant that has decent bacon. It has gotten so thin it's like paper
and you don't have the option for extra bacon.

Actually, Wendy's can both be better then other fast-food restourant's yet
still be fast-food itself. So it's a true thing to say.

Well, wrong, sorta. I don't eat mayo because personally I don't like it.
But, amny people DO like it, which is why millions of people put it on the
burgers. LIKEWISE, billions of people like mcdonalds', which explains why
they have sold billions of burger's.

If you are better than something you can't also be the same thing. For
example, if a blueberry pie is better than an apple pie, it can't be an
apple pie. I'm sure you get it now.
It's good advertising, I guess, but it would make people thing they
aren't serving food as fast, anymore.

The MC DLT used to have mayo, right? IIRC, they were pretty good burgers!

Wrong. The reason why a blueberry pie is not a apple pie is because
blueberry's aren't apple's.
BUT, Wendy's sells fast-food and mcdonald's sells fast-food. Irregardless
the fact that wendy's fast-food is better then Mcdonald's, fast food, they
are both fast-food.

You are right except they don't word it that way. They even say they

It's marketing, of course, but they are implying they are no longer a
fast food restaurant.

I'm not anyone's puppet and I still think Wendy's is fast food. They

no they aren't, at all. they arent implying anything. they are straight
out SAYING they are better then other fast-food restouarant's, which is a
thing most people agree with.

How hard is it to remove the bun from an undressed burger? Take it
home and feed it to your barn animals of the day.

Equating him to something else other than just another Inet soul is

If that was true, they would say "Better than other fast food" but they
don't say that. Trust me, their marketing department and their
advertising firm chose their words very carefully.

Well, "Doug", it appears that you are new to Usenet. A word of advice.
Just like "Don't drink and drive." "Don't drink and post." People will

But, it doesnt prove that they are wrong to say "better then fast-food" and
yet they still are fast food. I ate at Wendy's today, and I had custom
order's, (no mayo) and they were EXTREMELY fast. And it tasted better then
other fast-food.
But you are correct, they very carefully don't say better then OTHER fast
food, not to say they aren't fast-food, but to cater to idiot's like YOU who
"refuse" to east fast-food just because it's fast food. So just as long as
you beliebe what you want to believe, FINE, as long as wend'ys gets thier
business from you, and I get my fast-food from them.
