The Cellar Burger
 

Creat your ideal burger in the poll. The top 6 or so items will become The Cellar Burger. You are then challenged to create, photograph and post a Cellar Burger. You may then eat it.

The bun with be a bun of your choice and so not included in the poll.

Awesome thread idea!

:D

I'm guessing it's me and Jim who went Bacon, Extra Bacon. (I would have picked Even More Bacon and All The Bacon, if they had been an options.)

Twas zippeh.

Hit the numbers and you can see who voted for what

BAAAAACon makes EVVVVVERY thing betterererer !!!!!!

What? No Beetroot? What madness and poverty is this?


I'm serious. When I say "burger with the lot" I want beetroot as well as pineapple.

No provolone? Philistines.

Living upside down affects the brain badly.
I know about beetroot in burgers from GBK's Kiwi.
I think only Antipodeans ever order them though :worried:

My selection would pretty much be my ideal burger. It doesn't exist naturally in the wild though. Same as my ideal pizza or breakfast. I'm always having to pay for things I don't want and ask for them to be taken off, or the things I would like aren't available as additional items (or work out ridiculously expensive).

We're not good at personalising orders in this country.

I am disappointed at the poor showing of Egg so far. A burger with a fried egg on it is awesome.

I could build a second burger and include egg quite happily.
But not with blue cheese.

The term "extra bacon" is somewhat questionable. How can you put extra of something of which there is never enough in the first place? It's sort of like saying extra infinity. That maybe OK for the calculus wags but not really a practical everyday possibility.

cf: you can never have too much water in a nuclear reactor

Double burger, swiss, bacon, extra bacon, ketchup, and pineapple.

I might have liked BBQ and steak sauces as well.

The pineapple, frankly, was an afterthought, but I do like the sweetness it imparts.

Perhaps if a dolph-ark were woven out of the bacon ...

Next week, pizza........ all unloved and unusual toppings mentioned here will be fair game for pizza (up to 25) :D

Yeah, I was looking for the beetroot. And the grated carrot.

Alright, we'll have beetroot as a write-in. All those in favor/favour should mention it (gawd i hope it gets voted off the island, bleuch! :vomit:)

Hmm. we're not very adventurous, are we? Unless you count cholesterol challenges as adventurous.....

two patties, bacon, cheddar, cooked onion, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mayo and pickle......

This is a challenge that I am willing to accept. Also you forgot jalapenos.

That's because they are not food.

And to think I used to idolize you.

Proof that individually, we are brilliant, but collectively, we are sheep. Demographics win again. Sigh.

How is it that Bacon , Lettuce, and Tomato outrank hamburger patties on the cellar burger list?

It would seem that the cellar burger is a BLT, which would be awesome.

There is something perfect about the combination of good, ripe beefsteak tomatoes and mayonnaise.

Word

because the beef patties are split into two subfields -one or two. The ideal burger clearly has 1.57 patties.

So why in the fuck are we tainting it with pickles?

Not to put too fine a point on it but even their combined score only narrowly edges out bacon for first place in the ideal burger.

In fact, our local butcher sells bacon hamburger. It's 50-50 bacon and ground beef.

I've had the fried-egg-on-a-cheeseburger. Wasn't bad. Wouldn't wake up craving it, but, it wasn't bad.

That. Is. Genius.

Purely out of speculation here, but, uh, what would such a delicacy as that go for?

:yum:

It's about $3.50 a pound. I'm sure the bacon is ends and pieces, (a treat in itself- they go for about $10/ 3 pounds)) stuff that doesn't make a proper looking slice. His prices are very reasonable considering how good the meat is.

The guy makes and stocks about 20 different sausages, all about $5.95/ lb.

All of them awesome except for the chicken sausages; they are always too dry no matter how I cook them. Might have to ask him if I'm doing something wrong or if they are exceptionally fat free.

mayo belongs in your yucky chicken salads or potato salads or whatever other foods you ruin with it. Please, think of the burgers.

At some point, there's just way too much going on a la 'food'

Democracy in action. Our burger only succeeds where our tastes overlap.
Of the above I only chose 2 x burgers, bacon and lettuce.

That's all well and good, but you still need to add bacon, because the bacon inside the burger won't get cooked enough.

Pickles are tools of the devil. They are not food.

The only time I eat pickles are sweet pickles w/cheese.

I know...

Thanks feet.

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS BURGER!

Today.

A mushroom/chickpea/bean burger in a crusty wholemeal roll with
iceberg lettuce,
cucumber,
red bell pepper (capsicum),
raw onion,
a veggie chili cheddar cheese (something like 97% of UK cheeses are now 'vegetarian'),
a tomato based relish.

NO BACON!

--

Now, see I could enjoy that.
Except for the tom and the komkommer.

And no butter or margarine!!! Eurgh!
Garlic mayo, maybe (can't remember if you are vegan or not)

No, not vegan - the cheese is a bit of a giveaway!

There is a little sunflower spread on there too actually - you can see it next to the cucumber.

True, but coulda been vegan "cheese". I didn't want to assume.
That's what I was referring to. Gag, gag...

Gawd, that stuff truly is awful - never try it!

Jalapeno.

Jalapeno
Naa they mess with my stomic

Current Cellar Burger has no cheese!!!!!

2 beef patties, bacon, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mayo

how dull.

Great thread idea.

Total thread realization fail due to shitty average taste effect.

lesson learned:

While, individually, we rule... Collectively, we suck.

Tried it....tastes fucking bizarre. Well....more the texture.

*slight shudder*

Mind you...I really do not get this whole string cheese thing either. I tried some that my niece had once...didn't taste in anyway like food.

The cellar burger sounds quite nice. I like a little mayo on a burger sometimes.

But no cheese?

Sorry but that's just wrong.

When you split the cheese vote we all lose :sniff:

I'd like teriyaki sauce and pineapple and very crisp bacon.
on a toasted roll. Dill pickle on side. And homemade rootbeer.

That's actually a very interesting observation.

RWN, the votes are:

One beef 10
Two beef 13

Total beef 23

American cheese 4
Cheddar cheese 10
Swiss cheese 4
Blue cheese 6

Total cheese 24.

Yet no cheese has been elected.


I blame Diebold.


Seriously, it shows what is wrong with the simple "first past the post" election systems.

Hold the pickle hold the lettuce
Special orders don't upset us
All we ask is that you let us serve it your way...

If we combine Cheddar and bleu, that's 16, and then we could put BOTH on there.



Bri, that teryaki/ pineapple burger sounds fargin awesome. I'm totally making that Sunday with my kids. I'm thinking it needs a little horseradish sauce AND SOME STEAK FRIES! with malted vinegar!

Please. No. No Bleu. Please.

What about limburger?

Fie! Enough of this tampering with the democratic process! The burger shall be as the will of the people mandates!

I don't like it any more than you, but cheese lost.

do over!

now that the perils of this voting mechanism have illuminated themselves.

we should vote for all of the things we find acceptable on a burger without respect to their interaction.
that way, the collectively least gross ingredients will rise out of the morass.

I was building the best burger I could out of the ingredients available. If this is going to be a democratic burger, I think we should re-poll and keep that in mind

The cheese stands alone. :sniff:

The election was held fair and square, it's no use complaining now.
Anyway, it should never have been allowed, since there's no place for religion in politics. Keep your faith in cheeses a private thing. :p:

But I belong to the Cheese Party. Our symbol is a cheese snake, and our motto is "Don't Bread on Me."

And we don't eat Freedom Cheese. Mon bleu!

Motion to re poll!

Seconds?

Motion to stop posting around me.

Seconds? Yeah, I'd like another, please.
