Video: 'The Perfect Hamburger' by Former Top Chef Contestant Fabio Vivani
@texas blues: Whats the big deal about using a wooden spatula? Ive used one on occasion no big deal in my mind.

He may not be a burger expert but he is entertaining, much like Justin Wilson the Cajun cook was:-)
San Diego: The View at George's is Killer, but the Burger Isn't
Sad waste of quality beef as the Niman Ranch beef is some good stuff, Ive ordered in the the past via the web and been quite happy with it.

Reality Check: Wendy's Cheesy Cheddarburger
Bad beef = a bad burger & all of the major fast food joints sell bad beef no matter how its cooked!
12 Hot Dogs That Haunt My Dreams
Happy Hound is an excellent place for dogs (they also have a decent burger) in Los Gatos, CA - Its a small drive in type place then been there forever it seems, give it a try if youre in the area you wont be disappointed!
12 Hot Dogs That Haunt My Dreams
@Debbymmmmm: Thats why some people call them tube steaks I guess:-)
12 Hot Dogs That Haunt My Dreams
@hotdoglover: "I hear that all of the Dogma Grills have closed." That karma sure is a bitch:-)
Is Public Drinking Good For the Neighborhood?
At least you did the right thing in my mind which is to "question authority" on all levels!
The Over 21 Club: Booby's Charcoal Rib
I wonder if this place caught any heat from the locals when it first opened over the name? Has it caught any heat since opening? I bet if you tried to open a joint with a name like that in these days of the whimpening of America whether or not your family name was similar youd be under pressure from the MSM left & right! Shame......
Equipment: How to Buy, Use, and Care for a Meat Grinder
@John F.: Get a GOOD used one at a flee market or from eBay, by good I mean an old one that was made in the USA:-)
Milwaukee: The Decent, the Bad, and the Ugly at Milwaukee Ale House in Grafton
"complimentary lettuce, onions and tomato" WOW have we really come to the point that the salad has to be marketed as complimentary? I guess its better then being charged a "fee" for the privilege!
Videos: Beavis and Butt-Head Eat at Burger World for 30 Days
Ahhh memories of when MTV actually played music videos:-) I like the bathroom Break episode better then the Supersize me episode though its cool theyre both semi burger related. Check out the tune Takin A Dump At Work by Stuckey & Murray for a good laugh:-)
Chain Reaction: The Habit Burger Grill
@orborborb: I have to disagree with your "big chain" thoughts completely. The "meat" @BK, McD's, etc. is foul & it TASTES foul whereas the meat @5 guys tastes like meat. I havent tried Habit as they dont have them in the east but Im sure I at least would prefer it to the "big chains".
Chain Reaction: The Habit Burger Grill
Id make a Habit out of this place for sure if we had one in the east, I love a good toppings bar. When I was a kid there was a place called Herfys that had a topping bar and I used to put copious amounts of their pickles on the burger for a pickle burger:-)
Happy National Fast Food Day
Seems like a pretty useless video to me.....
Lab-Grown Burger Coming Soon?
Forced sterilization would be better then this lab created meat alternative!
AHT on TV: Damon, Katie, and Farley on 'Kitchen Nightmares' Tonight
@millions: I for one look forward to another review because I would like to know if they pulled it together and stuck with Chef Ramseys recommendations, if they didnt stick to his formula then they are nuts for sure!
AHT on TV: Damon, Katie, and Farley on 'Kitchen Nightmares' Tonight
Also the menu doesnt look like the one Ramsey developed for them (Western Burger Lamb Burger, etc) I wonder if the menu on the "site" is an old version or if they changed it!
AHT on TV: Damon, Katie, and Farley on 'Kitchen Nightmares' Tonight
You would think theyd have a decent website but they dont, if you use Firefox on the Mac it gives you an error about a browser plugin for the PDF and when you click the PDF link you get a file not found error, if you use Safari you get simply the menu - pretty lame!
AHT on TV: Damon, Katie, and Farley on 'Kitchen Nightmares' Tonight
WOW I just watched part one online & it was pretty intense, Ill have to wait to see part 2 later and see what Ramsey did to salvage this sad sack of a restaurant:-)
San Diego: A Burger Bathed in Beer at Karl Strauss
Tad to rare for me but other then that it looks outstanding!
Wendy's New Burger, The W, Coming Soon
Looks tasty IF only they used half way decent meat which Im sure they dont:-(
Reality Check: The Outlaw Burger at Jack in the Box
@rah62: At a minimum it should give their lawyers pause as theyre looking a a huge false advertising suit should someone ever bring one.
