From A Hamburger Today

Our Favorite Burgers of 2009

My fave chain burger is the $6. burger at Carl's Jr.,
Although I once had an incredible special short-time-offered burger there that had 2 patties burger, pastrami, and lots of swiss cheese. Man, I still drool over that burger, and it's been 5 years!

The AHT Guide to Hamburger and Cheeseburger Styles

The best burger I've ever had was at a Carl's in CA. It was a special promotion, and I've never seen it on the menu again. A double cheeseburger with a hefty layer of pastrami! Sort of a burger, patty melt, reuben effect, hold the sauerkraut.
I was in heaven, and didn't need to eat anything else for about 24 hours.

$29.95 for America's Test Kitchen website?

I used to subscribe, but realised after a couple of years that they were printing articles that contradicted previous articles. Don't they read their own stuff? Anyway, I think they're no better or worse than any other food oriented magazine, or show, and take all items with a grain of salt (sea salt of course).

Everyone has a dream of opening a restaurant...

I vote for the shop instead of the restaurant. I know that I would enjoy developing recipes and menus more than actually running a place. Worked in too many to think the daily responsibility would be fun for me. But a good meat counter, excellent cheese counter, and shelves of those hard to find ingredients would be lovely.

10 Things to Look For in a Cheese Shop

My favorite cheese shop in the S. F. area is Draegers Market. They have a cheese shop area that almost seems independent of the rest of the store. The employees there are always enthusiastic about their cheeses, have a wonderful selection, knowlegable, and really encourage tasting, and comparing. Best I've been to around here.
