Yes. It is the final day of National Burger Month. Once again, after having eaten burgers or burger-like stuff for much of the month, I had some good times. I liked breaking out the classics again, like the McDonalds gangbang. And I liked playing dress-up with food that would otherwise not be in burger form, pretending to be burgers for an evening.... Curried chicken breast burger (so spicy!), a vegeburger, (Yeah, I know- but I had to try them because i lost a bet with my girlfriend..), and even a salmon and crab burger. Amazing twists to the humble burger...

I wanted to finish out the month with something kind of traditional, but with a twist. My favourite burger blog, A Hamburger Today, first published their Hamburger Fatty Melt a couple of years ago. Their version was just two grilled cheese sandwiches sandwiching a burger patty. They stuck it pretty traditional: white bread, Kraft cheese singles and a burger. They have since updated their creation with the introduction of the Bacon Burger Fatty Melt. That's a nice burger. The Bacon Fatty Melt is a tribute to excess. I think they went with multiple layers there. They stack as follows:

Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as bun top
Cheese
Bacon
Four-ounce beef patty
Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as interstitial bun (a nod to the Big Mac)
Bacon
Cheese
Four-ounce beef patty
Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as bun bottom

 

This sounded glorious but I felt that this was too much work for me. So I just went out and had a burger from every burger joint i know...lol! I have tough had a chat with a friend I know who said that he would attempt a version of this at GBK (Gourmet Burger Kitchen) and when it comes to light I will post some pics.

 

If you have any interesting burger recipes or stories please feel free to post!

 

Finally, a new addition that I recently had the pleasure of consuming- The Windsor Burger. 8oz of bespoke beef magnificence, from the world famous Sussex cattle reared in the grounds of Windsor Castle itself. Yummy! www.gbk.co.uk
