Registered 6 years agoWeek 4: The Miss Daisy! Original
Brioch loaf, beef patty, spinach, Dijon mustard, and apple butter. I can't get apple butter here, but after reading up on it I approximated it buy cooking up apple sauce in the microwave with some cinnamon and brown sugar.
I wasn't sure about this one. I have never been one for greenery in my burger, I like em dirty, like my women
But this burger was delicious. It was actually the apple that lifted the whole thing to amazing! It really added something special and all the ingredients worked so well with each other. I served it up with home made onion rings ( sprinkled with aromat ) and a chocolate milkshake.
Week 5 brings us on to the Big Ben

Another awesome concoction, I'm really going to have start getting round to these.
I'm running an experiment this week - cooking burgers not on a bbq or under a grill, but in my smoker. I'm hoping that the woodsmoke adds something special to beefburger as well as it does to joints of meat.gif)

Registered 7 years agoBrioche?! Sounds nasty, but I won't knock it till I've tried it.
A burger is one of those things that is best kept simple(ish). Messing with the standard burger bap is usually where it goes wrong imo.
I've had some awful burgers of late. One in a pannini type bun and the other in a seed type roll.
Burger buns have to be super fresh and squishy. Which is maybe why brioche is a winner?

Before I tried this weeks one I would have been with you on the brioch! But it works well. You're right because it's soft it works. However, there is a but here. It works but it's no replacement for the standard bun. It's a little too sweet and the texture isn't quite right. I liked it it a change and would have it again but I prefer the bap.
It's a bit annoying of a trend that quite a few up market burger places use a brioch bun. I think they do it because it makes the burger seem posh rather than out offers the best taste.
I think next weeks burger use a chibatta roll so it will be interesting to ser how that works out. -

I will do! The hardest part at the minute is trying to decide what wood to use. I'm currently leaning towards a mesquite/hickory blend, but I have some whiskey oak as well from old barrels which could be worth a try.darkmorgado wrote:

I made something very similar to this the other day, brioche & brie. Really worked well. I was expecting the brioche to make it too sweet, but it's actually very nice with the rest of the elements.

Registered 6 years agoWeek 5 brings us to the *BONG... BONG... BONG...* The Big Ben!
A beef patty in a ciabatta bun with blue cheese, bacon, water cress, and pickled red cabbage.
Another burger that I thought hmmm not sure about this one but again it was fucking tasty. Whoever is creating these bad boys is a bit of a genius. As with the previous burgers, all the flavours are distinctive and work in perfect harmony with each other. Each flavour brings something to the party and compliments the others.
The savory/salty blue cheese melts into the flavour of the beef and bacon and sings with the tangy notes of the pickled cabbage while the water cress is there in the background grounding the whole thing. Wonderful! I am going to learn to trust there will all be great no matter how odd it seems. The ciabatta roll worked damn well. It wasnt as crusty as I was expecting and the chew of the dough was perfect and held together well under the weight of all the ingredients.
for reference, here is the original
Also, made some beer battered onion rings to go with. Yummy :-D
Next week I will be tackling the Honky Tonk! Ding Ding... bring on round six -

Registered 6 years agoOooh tough one they are all so good!
I'm torn between the miss daisy or the uncle sam. The uncle sam is damn fine but a bit boring since it's basically a whopper, so I'm gonna say have a try of the miss daisy!
Post up your pics and thoughts if you can good luck and may the burger force be with you! -
It's been a month and a half since I began my burgerlicious adventure - taking the calories so you don't have to!... and week 6 brings us the Honky Tonk
A beef patty with fresh chopped lettuce, mayo, monterey jack cheese, peppered bacon, onion rings, and bbq sauce!
The original calls for "brick cheese" that seems hard to get even in the U.S outside of Wisconsin and even then it seems to be only made by certain artisan producers on a small scale. On doing some research I found that a soft melting American cheese will substitute. It also called for "peppered pork" and feck knows what that is. It looks for all the world like bacon and so that's what I used with plenty of black pepper milled on to it.
Oh, and I couldn't get hold of a sesame seed bun. Just a normal bun used.
As with the other burgers - this was delicious, although a bit boring and unadventurous. Basically it has all the usual suspects you find in burgers such as letttuce, cheese, bbq sauce, mayo, bacon. It's only that the onions happen to be in batter that set it apart from any other burger. Crips bacon, melting cheese, and beef are always going to work together.
It all works really well together ( that's why you find these ingredients so often in burgers, after all ) but like I said maybe a tad boring. Not my fave burger but lovely none the less!
Served with duck fat chips and a cold, cold beer.
original for reference - next week I'm going country style and taking on the big bad, if slightly eggy, Farmer John.
