Looks delicious, salivating just thinking about the aroma.

Yes, gourmet burgers suck & whoever started that concept should be flogged.

Why are they so fucking tall? They're not even edible in that format.

That's my chief (really, only) objection. There's a gourmet burger place that we go to because it's really fucking good, but the size leads to messiness and sadness.

They also need to have giant globs of aioli which can fuck right off.

The best aspect of gourmet burger places is being able to order stuff like banana peppers as toppings.

My issues with burgers is that the beef is so processed and minimal that it really doesn't add much. I've basically given up beef for environmental reasons, but I do make an exception maybe once a year for a fine cut of beef. Not gonna waste that shit on a burger when a turk burg pretty much tastes the same.

That being said, gourmet burgers can be made where the beef actually contributes to the overall flavor, so I'm cool with gourmet.

The place we go to offers an elk meat option, which is really good. Not that I eat meat anymore. But still, back in the day it was good.

My college town had a burger joint called "Murder Burger*" that had ostrich burgers which were tasty. Also, I didn't know you were a vegetarian.

*the town made them change the name to Redrum Burger. Less fun, but still pretty good.

I think I've had ostrich before. The best beef I've ever had is from my sister-in-law's farm—all organic. Incredibly lean and flavourful. The Boss and I would buy, like, a quarter cow and fill the freezer for a year.

(Quit meat maybe two, three years ago. Ethical reasons—it was a notable gap in my anti-violence beliefs. Really don't miss meat, either. But I've got no beef—ho ho—with people who eat meat. We all make our own choices.)

Tangentially related, but reminds me of the time i went to Katzs in NYC and had one of their "world famous" pastrami sandwiches that was so absurdly overpacked, there was more of the stuff strewn around the plate/table/floor than managed to find its way into my gob. A profoundly unsatisfying culinary experience.

I don’t understand burgers that you can’t cleanly pick up and eat with your hand. I could care less about the ethics (humanity is doomed) but I’ve cut out most red meat and pork for health reason. Turkey burgers are often moister and more flavorful anyway.
