  1. Mr. Mxyzptlk, it sounds like Kim Chee will not be found on your burger. Hot n spicy Kim Chee is tough to beat on a burger. Jalapeños too, but that doesn’t sound All American either.

  2. I bet that’s a Whopper. As long as it’s not one of the fake plant based Whoppers. Whammy’s (2 hamburger patties/2 cheese) at Dick’s Hamburgers at 3rd & Division in downtown Spokane are the best although not as cheap as they used to be. When I was in HS 50 years ago we could get 3 cheeseburgers, large fries and a coke for $1.05, those were the days. If I ate like that any more my kids and my age would probably kill me.

  3. Quality lean beef and buffalo meat with various spices and sauces and a third of a bottle of fairly fine red wine thoroughly mixed and allowed to refrigerate for a few hours. Make the patties whilst drinking what’s left of the red wine and cook over a charcoal grill. If serving more than one person, two bottles of red wine may be required for imbibing during the meal.

  4. I remember eating at a Max and Erma’s many years ago.
    At that time they had a burger called ‘The Garbage Burger’. That sucker had everything under the sun on it.
    It took me 5 bites just to get through the thing.
    Now, unless I want my blood sugar levels spiking skyward, all my burgers are bun free☹️

  5. In typical occurrence:

    I had fried chicken for lunch.

    Finished work, came home, opened the door, I smelled my wife roasting a chicken for dinner.

    Happy Burger Day! and not that Beyond Meat artificial Chemical Goop.

  6. Thanks for the reminder! I believe I’ll go up to Culver’s for a butterburger with cheddar and bacon, plus lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayonnaise. With a large order of onion rings on the side. Yum!

  7. Drove to Wyoming and ate at a Wayback Burger joint. Yeah, it’s fast food, but the burger was good and the people working there are fantastic. And I didn’t even know I was celebrating National Hamburger Day until I got back!

  8. There is an imperfect but decent fall-back tactic if for some reason beyond your control you find yourself stuck with low-fat burger meat: put a generous pat of butter on the patty just after it comes off the grill or griddle.
