Why the beef-hate?

Kobe beef prepared by the flying knives of a sushi chef is the only way to go – grinding into burger meat is sacrilegious.

The price is caused by the addition of the gold flakes which must really be paint chips which give you a lead/mercury high so griping you’d pay anything for another bite.

Ingesting heavy metals causes brain damage. Lead and mercury the most common causes.

Anyone who eats these burgers is a retard, literally.

Gold doesn’t qualify as a heavy metal, at least in this regard. It’s an almost miraculous metal. It can be injected (microscopically) into arthritic joints to replace bone tissue, thus alleviating some pain, and ameliorating further tissue loss due to wear. Also, I’m a jeweler, and have had a piece of 14K yellow gold in my left thumb for over twenty years. It isn’t even pure gold, and it’s never given me a problem.

But at that price i-phone should be complementary,no!

If you’re ever in Hawaii (Kauai to be exact) try a Bubba’s Burger (no relation).

Are you talking about this one?
And yes it was AWESOME!

Or, perhaps, the purchase of a sweet-ass 3G iPhone,

Give it up already dude, she ain’t gonna buy you one, no matter how many hints you drop! Face it, you’re stuck with the two tin cans and a piece of string.

But seriously, folks. I’d be all over it but and spoiled by having the creator of major dad’s World Famous Cheeseburgers living at home with me.

Yes. I’m smug.

YUMS.

Don’t tell Obama it’ll be his next campaign stop.

Actually, no, and for just this instance I have to agree with the Obama supporters. Some of his erstwhile supporters would refuse to vote for him over the foie gras used to prepare the burger. It is a little too cruel to the duck for my taste. In fact, all the countries around France have banned foie gras. It’s just another dumb French idea.

For $175, I can buy about 20 boxes of Bubba Burgers (6 frozen paddies to a box). Of course, the buns would be extra.

Heard a rumor that the meat in Bubba Burgers isn’t exactly prime. One story I saw even said that they would buy sub-par beef.

If you’re ever in Hawaii (Kauai to be exact) try a Bubba’s Burger (no relation).

that is teaspoon of salt…NOT TABLESPOON

Zesty burger that is perfect with a beer and your favorite team pitching at the bottom of the ninth.

1 1/2 lb of lean ground beef
1 lb of ground sirloin
(tip…the more fat in your meat the MORE it will shrink when cooking)
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 minched garlic clove (or to taste)
1/4 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1/2 cup chopped jalepeno peppers
(tip….japepeno’s can be temp tested by looking at the number of small scars on the skin. The more scars, the hotter that sucker is)

A bit of olive oil
red leaf lettuce
Sliced fresh tomato
Your favorite hamburger bun

Wash your hands…..please

mix ground beef and ground sirloin in a large bowl. Set aside

Wash your hands again….thanks

In skillet quickly stir fry the chopped green onion, minced garlic cloves with the olive oil over high heat. The minced garlic should be a minced fine and when stir fried a bit carmalized but not burnt. Drain and set aside

Mix the sauteed green onion/ garlic, salt, pepper, and BBQ sauce with the meat. Finally add the chopped jalepeno.
(tip, wash your hands now, or you’ll end up rubbing your eye, or something else, and never enjoy your burger. Some jalepeno’s can be brutal)

Form into patties
(tip DONT PRESS FLAT. Form the patties by spinning and plumping between your palms on a bread board. If you smash the patties flat you are a closet democrat). 3/4 inch thick is about right.

Wash your hands yet again!

Grill method, HOT, but flame thowers make the worst burgers. Cook to desired state (live dangerously, that pink inner part of the burger only kills wimps). For you OMG there might be germs in it folks 160deg meat temp)

Stove top method, HOT, and drain grease as needed, leaving just enough to keep your cardiolgist pissed at you.

Lightly toast the buns on the grill or under the broiler.

Add lettuce and tomato.

Garnish with brown mustard. If you put ketchup on it Limerick will hunt you down and remove your spelling powers.

Relationship warning: DO NOT try to kiss your girlfriend or boyfriend for 1 hour after consuming. Limerick is not responsible for your grief if you do.

Did I tell you to wash your hands before eating?

Makes about 10 burgers (divide recipe for fewer servings).

On the positive side, the fact that restaurants feel free to go into this battle of conspicuous consumption and wretched excess is a sign that, no matter what the Democrats are saying, the economy isn’t in a recession. Were times really tough, gas lines long and the unemployment rate hovering near double digits like the late Carter years, no restaurant in their right mind would want to brag about having America’s most expensive burger, since the hostile negative publicity would far offset whatever PR profile boost came with it.
