It is Saturday and Summer is winding down…..time to fire up the grill and get busy.
A little something I would post in my food blog, The Food Nazi, if it were still active…..but since it is not….I will do the honors here….
I think that a food prep should be traditional….I am not a fan of these trendy dishes that so many swoon over….there is one dish that I firmly believe should be prepared the old fashion way…..the all delicious hamburger.
Me? I like about 2/3 lb of meat all beef patty……medium….served with a toasted bun with mayo and spicy brown mustard…..period. Any salad stuff belongs on the side with bleu cheese dressing.
I bring up the burger thing because a new joint has opened in my area….27th Avenue Burger Bar….catchy name and one would expect a good variety of burgers would be offered….well here are the choices you will have……
They’re not your typical burgers. Sure, you can get the Classic American Cheeseburger, but for those with adventure on their minds and palates, there are:
▪ The Snout ($10), an adouille, pork, boudin and bacon patty with bacon, ketchup, pork belly mayo, hog head cheese, lettuce tomato and pickle;
▪ The Billy Goat ($12), ground goat patty with curried mushroom, mozzarella, spinach and tzaziki;
▪ The Farm House ($12), an organic beef patty with fried egg, bacon, comeback sauce, arugula, heirloom tomato, red onion, mustard and locally made Country Girl cheese on a potato bun.
▪ The Crabby Patty ($12) might satisfy fish fans: A seared crab cake with crawfat remoulade, fire roasted corn and pepper chow chow, spring mix, pickled shallots and pimento cheese.
▪ The Gardener ($8) makes sure vegetarians haven’t been forgotten. It’s a cauliflower steak patty with sundried tomato aioli, cilantro and arugula.
Homrighausen said she’s already seeing customers trending toward The Farm House as well as Border Jumper ($8), a chorizo patty with black bean puree, poblano aioli, jalapeno ketchup, pico de gallo, arugula and avocado, and Buffalo Bill ($12), a smoked bison patty with housemade barbecue aioli, ketchup, onion strings, bacon, sliced avocado, lettuce, tomato and butter pickles

Have a great weekend my friend…chuq
Love the song!
Makes me hungry…LOL
Oh eat one for me too, I’m doin’ Mexican in the Mountains tonight. ~~dru~~
Wonder if the food will cost more when the wall goes up?
A side business catapult from Mex side to USA side….LOL chuq
No comment on the American Burger. It is not for me what it is forever you.
Serious remark on the use of Nazi in all sorts of combinations. Grammar, food in fact in everything where someone wants to be correct as possible and others say he/she overdoes it.
It angers me how easy words connected with an dictatorial system are uses in American conversation etc. This political system had and still casts it’s shadows in our family, my hometown, my province, my country.
I know and saw in the way how and what you write that you take care to be decent and honoust. So take me serious in this, because words casually spoken in the US, may be words of pain and sorrow somewhere else.
I was accused of being a food nazi because of my views on food prep…..has nothing to do with politics it is that some thought I was trying to be a dictator….not meant to be offensive in any way….chuq
I’ll settle for baby goat & be dammed…I had some in the mountains of southern Spain… far away from civilization. Without the bap please!
😉
Beef and lots of it…LOL
Though my own preference in burgers, after cooking about 72 tons of ground beef in a year on the grill at Jerry’s Gross Burgers in Berkeley, is a simple one, (half lb burger, mayo, well-grilled onions, & mayo, on an onion Kaiser roll), some of those sounded pretty good. Mostly too much foo foo, but, there are a lot of foo foo lovers out there…
Enjoy your own this weekend, ami…
