13 Million Burgers Sold A Year - What Is Your Favorite ? ?

While watching the food channel tonight, there was a show on all about hamburgers.

According to the Cattleman's Association, there are 13 million hamburgers sold a year.

Now, I am thinking that they are basing that info on how many are sold to restaurants. That would not include the ones that are made in homes or out on the grill.

A little tid bit of info. The hamburger bun was first invented by a guy names Walter Anderson in 1916. He later went on to open the White Castle in 1916. Yáll know about the little square burgers.

The question is: What is your favorite way to have your hamburgers?

Do yáll like cheese, onions, lettuce, tomatoes or just plain like my grandson?

If you go out to eat a burger, who do you think has the best burger in town?

Does anyone remember the little guy in the photo ?

"It tastes... not so good. Very bland, kind of like pre-made tomato sauce and a bitter aftertaste."

Hey YLMS, what is the name of the famous poorboy in New Orleans?

A Muffaleta? I know it isn't spelled right but that is as close as can come.

I have had one but I can't remember how to spell it.; ▶ Reply to This

Yep, that is it. There was this place in the Quarters where I had one. It was this old long narrow building. It seems that the sign said it was the place where the muffaletta was first made.

I am not sure of course but I bet you know YFMS.; ▶ Reply to This

I got a working recipe for a grilled shrimp burger. Still a work in progress so no recipe card yet, but here is a pic:

If I'm out and in need of a good burger, I' going to a place called Schoops.; ▶ Reply to This
