Your hamburger

The burgers Arnold Babar grilled at the Seattle outing were great.

RIP, good sir.

 

I just want to say I can't believe we have an eight-page thread on our hamburgers.

 

You do remember the great chain burgers wars we wage every year, right?

 

I can’t believe it’s only eight (now nine) pages long! This is a meat-eating, backyard grilling kind of place!

And brown sugar as part a dry rub for burgers? Hmmm …

 

Had a peppercorn-crusted burger yesterday with horseradish cheddar and a Cabernet sauce. Spectacular.

 

Bubba Burgers are still my good to on a grill. The ones with onions? Delicious.

 

Never done burgers on the pellet grill, but now I'm intrigued. How big were the patties, JR?

 

I got them directly from Giant. I would say 1/4" thick, perhaps 4" across. I'm terrible with that kind of stuff.

Let's put it this way -- it was thick enough that I'm quite tempted to try the same thing with a Juicy Lucy next (#crossthread). The way the burger was finished inside, I think it would handle that extremely well.

The thing is, they didn't shrink one iota through the smoking process. It just created that beautiful smoke ring on the outer surface.

 

Where at? This sounds amazing!

 

How about a quarter pounder with peppered bacon, Dijonaise, American cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion on a sesame potato bun?

It was called the Arch Deluxe and it was probably the greatest thing ever made by McDonald's. Also known McDonald's greatest marketing flop.

 

The Cheddar Melt was the greatest thing ever made by McDonald's, and they pulled the plug on that, too.

 

Arch Deluxe was my childhood. Miss that burger.
