My husband loves a good burger. Myself...I haven't had one since 1985, so... He travels quite a bit and sometimes that's the fastest and safest thing on the menu.
In Shanghai, his burger always came with a fried egg on it, much to his dismay. He couldn't remove the egg, it was smooshed onto the burger when he got it, and somehow wasn't able to conquer the language barrier or like Pooch (salad issue vs. burger issue), had a chef who insisted that it was left on.
Paris, he had a pretty good burger, but the steak frites were what he raved about.
London, this time around, he's staying at the Hilton London Olympia, and to my horror he ordered the room service. And yet he said it was probably the best burger he's had in 10 years. He described it as being perfectly seasoned with a really great carmelized crusty outside and a moist and tender inside, topped with a really great cheddar, served on a perfectly toasted roll.
The other food there is mediocre at best, but he said someone there knows how to cook a really great burger.
Now I'm jealous. He's always liked my burgers best. And yeah, though I don't eat them, I do have nose like a blood hound and it's served me well in the past as far as what's good and what's not. And then there's the q&a session (dissection) that often occurs after a meal. What are your favorite burger tips and toppings?
