This Week's Poll Results
@Brian: Thanks for the tip! I don't think I've ever been to a burger place that did that. :( Same with salads that have raw onions; those equals DOOM.
@film_score: I think grilled onions does sometimes mean grilled...judging from the grilled onions I've eaten on burgers. :P Anyhoo, I prefer grilled over sauteed. But yeah, if you combine them that's almost as high of a percentage as raw.
Dear AHT: Bay Ridge Burger Recommendations
@Foie Daddy: Thanks for the rec! I haven't tried any of these burger places, but I'll let Keith know.

AHT Poll: How Do You Like Onions on Your Burger?
@tempspaz and jjchampion: Crap, I wish I had thought to include that answer! I'm against raw onions; they taste good at the time, but I hate the aftertaste. Pickled are my fave.
Seriously Asian: Holiday Dumpling Making
@hmw0029: Kimchee + fatty pork sounds like a great idea!
Seriously Asian: Snow Pea Tips
SNOW PEA TIPS ARE MY FAVORITE VEGETABLE EVERRRRRR THEY ARE THE BEST.
And as someone who can't cook for poot, I can attest to these taking almost no skill or time. Last time I tried to look for em in Chinatown though, I had to poke around quite a few stands. I must get mooore.
'Don't Forget the Donuts'
@MollieBeth: Thanks for pointing that out! I'll correct it. Gotta get my narwhal terminology down.
How to Make Chocolate Gravy by Homesick Texan
@piccola: I figured it didn't fit into the regular chocolate sauce or pudding categories; it's somewhere in between, thick but not pudding-thick. Wikipedia lists it under gravy types.
Flip Burger Boutique in Atlanta: Flavorful and Well Crafted
@Lorenzo: Thanks, just corrected it!

Today's Special Burger at RUB BBQ: Butter Burger
@guttergour: More places need to splodge butter onto their burgers! That looks awesome.
Egg Watchers Uses YouTube as an Egg Timer
@RABensam: Damn, that would've made so much sense! Alas, it was "All Is Full of Love." No egg imagery. Still good though.
The Burger from Rye House in Flatiron Could Use a Different Bun
@dbdtron: We tried that too! That's one intense sandwich.
This Week's Poll Results
@DonBuri: I assume it has something to do with how the percentages are rounded, but I can't tell for sure since our polls currently only give out these percentages and not the actual number of people who voted.
How to Make Gumball Flower Lollipops
@mgnnn: That, or enough gum to last you allll daay looong!
New at Burger Shoppe: the Mac and Cheese Burger
@feistyfoodie: Thanks for the info! I'll keep that in mind for future burger reporting.
An Awesome Keychain: The Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger Tower by Re-Ment
@fuuchan: Thanks for the info! I didn't have time to check out the bookstore during my visit, unfortunately. Spent too much time...EATING.
@ALRUI: Not sure where they're made. I thought I could figure it out from the label, but..it's in Japanese; oops. I'd lean towards China though.
GoGo
I don't think anything is preventing us; we just haven't thought about it before. Perhaps I should go there for lunch today...[strokes chin]... :) (I love Go Go Curry, but I dread that area right around the Port Authority Bus Terminal. I feel like it sucks the life out of me. But I'll go for CURRY AND FRIED MEATS.)
Video: 'Hamburger: The Motion Picture'
@koroshiya: ....Wow. That's quite a story. Thanks for telling it to me so I never have to watch the movie. Maybe we can perform some sort of ritual to purge your mind of the memories.. :)
Big America Burgers are Big in Japan
@hmw0029: Thanks for the info!
OH MAN I LOVE KOALA'S MARCH! Sort of. I love Japanese snacks, probably more for the shape/packaging than ...uh..flavor. Custard waffles sound good though.
Today's Special Burger at RUB BBQ: Pimento Cheese Burger
@dmoze: Aw, I'm sorry to hear that! I've had the onion burger once, and despite it not being fresh—Adam brought it back to the office for me—I Ioved it. Super flavorful with some meat crust.
This Week's Poll Results
@DonBuri: I don't know what the actual non-rounded percentages ended up being, but a possibility is if they were 74.5 and 25.5, they'd be rounded up to create math fail. I'll just leave it. ;)
Football Sausage
@sally599: I just had to google that to see what you mean...aaand voilà?
Oh, novelty sausages.
