Latest Issue of 'Salt Lake' Magazine Features Utah's 75 Best Burgers
I am shocked--SHOCKED-- to see anything Utah-related on SE. Hooray!
My vote for best all-around burger would be Crown Burger. Haven't been there in 15 years, however, not since my young & skinny days.
I did just have a garlic burger at Bakers de Normandie in Holladay which was very tasty.
@beanalicious-- you should try the bbq fry sauce served with sweet potato fries from the Blue Lemon. It's not a burger joint, however, but you should give it a try!
Weekend Cook and Tell: What I learned in Home Ec
My most memorable Home Ec. teacher was named Mrs. Lemon. She was a perfectly-coiffed 1950's housewife who wore a flared skirt and high heels every day. This was in 1982, however. Even though we were all upper-middle class kids, it was very evident that she thought we were all destined for the gutter. Her most frequent advice to us was "When your husband leaves you and your kids are hungry, you can mix flour and water which will form gluten. Gluten is high in protein and will keep you from starving." She said this many times to us, it was only years later that it occurred to me how insulting this was---and it was not even IF our husbands abandoned us, it was WHEN. LOL!
On the plus side, we did learn a lot about the role each ingredient plays in baking-- leavening, oil, sugar, etc. And food safety.

BEANS!!! I hate, fear and despise them. I have since I was born. Every time my mother cooked the wretched mess for dinner I would have to sit at the dinner table until after the 10:00 news was over as punishment, I absolutely refused to eat or even look at them. Still do.
It's embarrassing to admit this as a "mature" 45 year old... but I'm glad to see I'm not the only "hater" out there!
