Geeze. Ya'd figure with the price of membership they'd toss in one hamburger for free, and maybe even fries WITH gravy.

Right. Just what we need -- more conspicuous consumption. Tell ya what: I've got some ground bison in the freezer. Y'all come round and we'll grill us some burger. I can get the organic greens down at the market, Walla Walla onions (or maybe Vidalias), some Idaho blue cheese, and we'll serve it up on a bun baked locally. Heck, I'll even serve Grey Poopon mustard if ya want. And I'll only charge ya USD 75.00.

McQuire's Irish Pub in Pensacola has had a $100.00 burger for years! Of course, that price does include a beverage. And the beverage it includes is a bottle of Dom Perignon.

Shucks, I give the local library a lot more than a lousy $7.50 I give it blood, sweat, tears, cussings, swearings, and all sorts of things. Money can't buy what I give the local library...well, money could buy it, but it would have to be enough money to allow me to retire in the style I want to become accustomed to.

My burgers can't cadence count, so the price is low. I am making them for dinner tonight.

Extra lean ground beef
Season with finely rubbed dried cilantro, a little Hy's seasoning salt, a little green chili powder, a touch of powdered thyme, finely chopped yellow onion, a sprinkle of flour.
Finger-mix.
Splat out, make patties and cook brown at high, turning once. Leave some red in the center (if you trust your beef supplier).

Give the diners large sesame kaisers, red and white onion slices, sliced vine-ripe tomato, two-year old cheddar cheese, small dill and gherkin pickles, catchup and Dijon mustard, pepper, etc. to fix their own.

There used to be a gourmet hamburger shop near where I am currently working. (A littletangent: the owner moved in next door to me, at my old house but his shop closed down after that).

He had some really nice combinations of flavours and they were relatively cheap. One of the nice things on his menu was spicy chips (fries) with guacamole.

The San Antonio zoo used to serve rattlesnake meat one day a week. This was some 40 or so years ago; they probably stopped long ago. The rattlesnake is useful in keeping down rodent populations; they are left alone by many cattlemen for that reason.

The 'secret' to good burgers is never use cheap meat sold as hamburger meat.
Another finish to burgers I like is to melt stilton cheese on top.

Ummm--UMMM! The original Hula Burger: a piece of cheese and a pineapple ring on a bun! Yummy!

(According to Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonalds. That's what he wanted to serve instead of fish sandwiches. To his credit he admitted that it was a bad idea.)

Made my burgers tonight, used oregano. Better than the culantro.

The Hawaiians are adicted to burgers, but the LOCO MOKO is their most outrageous, and it is served mostly for breakfast. This is the recipe for one serving of loco moko.

LOCO MOKO
Ingredients: Cooked rice, two burger patties (1/2 lb. total), 2 fried eggs, brown gravy.

On a hot plate, put two scoop cooked rice (about 1/2 cup each but more doesn't hurt). Put a cooked burger patty on top of each. Add an egg, fried sunny-side up, to each. Top both peaks heavily with brown gravy. Add your favorite sauce.

The most decadent burger is ground sasquatch grilled over moonrocks.

Well, perhaps the most expensive anyway....

BAck east some where there is a burger that they serve with an egg and a couple of other things...but the thing that makes it truly decadent is that for the bun they use a krispy creme donut
