Burger day today.  We don’t always bun the burger, but on special occasions, like when resident teen is around or the end of summer is near, we bring on the bun.  Everyone has their own style.  Above is Otto’s burger.

• ketchup
• cheese
• burger
• lettuce
• tomato

” And bun … heh heh. “

These babies brown.  They brown!

 

Zélie’s burger

• No ketchup!
• No pick-ohs
• NO LETTUCE
• No onions
• No special sauce
• No onions

 

 

Minty’s burger

• ketchup
• onions
• lettuce
• frites
• tomato
• pickles
• cheese

 

 

Minty has other versions.  She doesn’t always frite her burger.  Lucy is still working on her style with the burgers.

 

 

Extra points for looking like a gummy burger.

 

You can keep it simple or make the burger complicated.  What I love is that there is no need to mix stuff into the patties.  They can hold strong while you mess with the fixin’s.

We often eat them without the song and dance.  A bit of salt and pepper.  Some rest.  The flavor is lovely.  Served with veg.

 

 

On the back of French-Do-American-Bun packs, they lay out the exploded diagram of a Classique American Burger.

• bottom bun
• ketchup
• lettuce
• burger
• cheese
• tomat
• pink flying saucer
• the goat cheese with the hardy outy and softy innie
• top bun

voila!

 

 

 

Today’s burgers were three years in the making.  We did the quick fry-and-taste … acceptable.  Lovely.  Yep, these burgers are good.  Whew.
