It’s that time of year again when the pigskin flies and the
parties! I like to throw a big bash and
put on the big dog, so to speak, where everyone can pig out and enjoy the
day.
This approach is the true Southern Gentleman coming out
where we put the little pot in the big pot and feed the masses.

The Bodacious Burger
The American passion with the Burger is something to be
explored. As a starting base, I use my
Kitchen Aid grinder attachment to combine various cuts of beef, pork and
sometimes chicken to make the foundation of the burger patties. This process
also works for mincemeat which is what a burger would be considered in European
gastronomy.
Time to up the ante on the burger experience. Can you consider a burger as fine dining? Can
we elevate the meek and mild burger into a semi elegant experience? How about a
Bohemian experience, complete with cultured cocktails or a good IPA? These are some of the questions I will
explore here.
The process involves picking out the cuts of meat that I
love and making the right combinations for what I wish to achieve. My basic
mincemeat is 1 part beef tenderloin, 1 part beef short ribs, 1 part brisket.
Grind together on a rough grind setting as the mincemeat does not have to be
mushy but have a strong character to it.
For an extra addition, I add in ¼ part bacon or 1 tablespoon beef prime
rib suet as I am grinding the meats, to raise the fatty content which holds the
burger or meatloaf together. Of course,
I sometimes substitute Rib Eye steak for the tenderloin, it’s a matter of
taste. The flavor profile is rich with vibrant, robust.

The next question concerns the side dishes and, perhaps, an
appetizer before the burger. The
standard is some type of potato concoction involving deep frying with a lot of
salt. Let’s consider that and move a bit
onward.
To that end, let us go around the world in burgers!
