Burger Please!
Everyone has a food vice. Mine tend to be anything involving salt, fat, and sugar. But if I must be more specific, salt = french fries or salt & vinegar potato chips, fat = cheese, and sugar = dark chocolate. While this might inspire me to consider chocolate dipped potato chips from time-to-time, I generally keep my food obsessions separate and distinct.
Right now, the food I cannot stop thinking about is a hamburger. I am DYING to try a juicy, medium rare burger at a good burger place (and that doesn't mean fast food). I want to sit down and enjoy a rich, medium-rare burger char grilled or flat-top butter basted, with a toasty bun and cheese. My mouth is salivating at this thought. I would actually make my own burger, but didn't buy what I need at the store for the week, so I won't make one myself. I just can't get this out of my head. What to do?
In honor of my obsessive thinking, and perhaps anticipating my burger decisions when I satisfy the craving, here are some ideas for tasty burgery treats:
Heart-Attack-on-a-Plate:
American cheese
Onions sauteed in burger fat or butter
Beef patty
Bacon
Steak sauce
Westward Ho
American or cheddar cheese
Sauteed onions
Barbecue sauce
Sour pickles
Beef patty
Southwest and Spicy
Tabasco/Cholula sauce
Sliced ripe avocado
Swiss or pepper jack cheese
Salsa
Jalapenos
And because I'm feeling like having someone else actually cook these burgers for me, here are my favorite burger joints at which to eat:
Five Guys Burgers - they do burgers, they do fries, and that's about it, but they do them well!

So, now that I've made you drool, I would love to hear about your "vices" and what killer burgers you love (and where).
