Coming soon to a corner near you
Howdy!
More from Burger Week at Eater. This time on "up and coming burger chains." A) They need to get a better person to do their graphics. On this map, they got it ALL wrong.
All the logos should be moved one place clockwise. Elevation Burger is form Arlington, Virginia (on the east coast of the United States), Mooyah is from Texas (a 6 o'clock on this map) and Smashburger is from Denver (pretty much where the Elevation logo is). And apparently Smashburger has plans in place for Canada (how would you translate Smashburger into French?)
B) Somehow they manage to overlook Dic Ann's, Smart Burger, m:brgr, Burger de Ville, Buns Hamburger House, Frites Alors or any of the other up and coming burger chains here in Montreal?

Beef Blend Discussion
Howdy!
Since it has been Burger Week over at Eater, I took the easy way out and decided to wait till the week was over before cherry-picking the good stuff. Yesterday they interviewed Pat LaFrieda and Mark Pastore from LaFrieda Meat Purveyors about grinding beef. Very entertaining.

Marie-Claude Lortie and I obviously hang in different circles...
Howdy!
She talks about how Le Filet has been the new restaurant that's been getting the most "buzz." I would, politely, beg to differ. From my perspective it has been iBurger.

But no matter how much "buzz" there is, the food is infinitely better at Le Filet.

Apparently there is no Turkish - Canadian Crossover
Howdy!
I wonder how much a Turkish Lira is worth in Monopoly dollars...

And Everything Burger gets into Prints
Howdy!
Title pretty much says it all. But in case you need it spelled out, Everything Burger (the fine folk responsible for one of the burger movie posters I posted about last week) has decided to take the plunge and sell some prints over at this website called Society6. They currently have a selection of three, and personally, I quite like the "Obey Burger." But $48 is a little bit out of my price range. And unfortunately I don't have an iPhone or else I would have shelled out the $15 for a skin.

Some of the better posts from Eater's Burger Week:
In-N-Out vs Five Guys: The Big Chains' Bi-Coastal Burger Battle (basically a re-write of this article).
Breaking Down Five Guys Burgers And Fries By The Numbers (note to self: Talk to Wayne & Caleb once the McGill St. location has opened to see how it compares to DC)
Slutburgers Gone Wild! Carl's Jr. Ads Through The Years (self explanatory).

Eater does a Burger Week, too!
Howdy!
And gets into it good. They aren't one of my regular reads (which is why I am two days late on this one) but Eater (basically a bunch of food blogs based around various cities in the US) has decided to jump the gun on National Burger Month, and do something called Eater Burger Week.
And as you might expect from such a large and mainstream publication, they don't shy away from what you might call things excessive. With one of their first offerings being The Ron Swanson Turkey Burger.
Backstory: There's a TV show called Parks and Recreation. It has a character named Ron Swanson who likes meat. He mentions in passing the idea of a fried turkey leg inside a grilled hamburger. Someone from Texas, who just happens to write for Eater, Paula Forbes, decides to make one, and documents the process.
Heck, I betcha dollars to doughnuts they out do Epic Meal Time before the week is done.

I just don't get it
Howdy!
Why anyone would subject their cat to a Burger King Quad Stacker...
Somehow I don't think it would make their coat shine...

Eric Hubbard becomes Hamburger Boy
Howdy!
Or depending on who you are Hamburger Man. Last week he was a strictly local story, but it has now gone nationwide.
And if you want to find Mr. Hubbard on Facebook...

Catching up with Mark and Elliott from the Toronto Burger Chase
Howdy!
It's been a while since we last heard from them...
Real McCoy Burgers & Pizza
But I can't help but think that they have to up their game. They need to focus, concentrate more on the meat, flavor and texture. Less on expectations and the vague descriptions of prior visits.

NOW goes weak in the knees for The Burger's Priest
Howdy!
Steven Davey, over in the good city of Toronto-the-Good, gets his bosses to pay for some hamburgers at The Burger's Priest. Apparently he likes them, a lot. We first heard about the Burger's Priest from the fine folk at the Great Toronto Burger Chase (who by the way are now up to Part Five!)

OK, how about we just declare this past week Burger Days' week?
Howdy!
I was particularly enamored of their road trip through Connecticut. Louis' Lunch, Ted's Restaurant and then Shady Glen all in one weekend.

A McDonald's Hamburger Submerged
Howdy!
Any biochemists out there? Rhonda Thomas' daughter stuck a McDonald's hamburger underwater as part of her science project. Rhonda Thomas then went and videotaped it.
Now, the last time I actually tried to learn chemistry was way back in the last century, so I'm no expert. So I won't even venture a guess as to what's happening. Mostly, I just want to know what it tastes like? Perhaps something like this?
