Burger & Beer Thread!

We ate dinner at the Avelrade Brewery in Ghent last night. I broke down and ordered the hamburger with bacon, and their 8% Grand Cru dark beer. Both were excellent. In France barely cooked at all is the norm for burgers, in Belgium it's apparently well done.

The French are really good at cooking as long as it is their own cuisine, they really can't do other stuff sadly.

I’d love to see a picture of a French burger.

Grass fed organic beef with cheddar and mayo on garlic bread. HB light lager to drink- happy summer.

Generally we cook almost every burger we eat. But once in a while we (I) buy one at a restaurant and they are pretty good, especially if you like almost raw ground beef.

Sounds real inviting, I'll stay home!

It's better than you think. Unless you have to listen to my wife gagging every time you take a bite.

Raw dog was a thing I remember. Raw ground beef with seasonings served with beer. I'll stick to pickled eggs with beer.

Ah! So that’s what kids mean by that.

Not sure kids are referring to the same thing.

Eating out. Overcooked mushroom and onion burger with Swiss cheese. Ordered it medium rare, it came out well done accept for a bite that was medium well. Didn’t want to send it back and wait for a raw burger that they might have done nasty things to. Burger fully comped. I’ll add it, sans the bun and cheese, to spaghetti sauce. The beer was a local American blonde.

Local brewery, their version of a black and blue smash burger and an ipa. From the other day.

Back to back burger posts for me haha, tonight's was homemade venison mushroom swiss burger on brioche, cooked via blackstone... no beer, water tonight cause bloodwork tomorrow, fasting started at 830.

 

[Airborneguy]

I’ll make some venison burgers soon. I have a new grill and about 7lbs of ground venison left from last year.

I didn't take a picture of my burger and Stone Delicious IPA at the San Jose airport bar. But both were pretty good... The burger and fries surprisingly good for an airport bar...

The “Shell Yeah” Burger and Fries with a Big Aft Double IPA at Mackinac Island’s Great Turtle Brewing Company

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Decided to do lamb burgers and Greek fries, with the kids this time. Make mine a double!

Venison burger, nothing fancy but perfect. Troegs nugget nectar to wash it down. Dog and corn, the pickles and relish are homemade from last year's garden picks. Happy 4th of July!!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

The burger I had away from home on the 4th was not noteworthy, but I fired up the grill today for this bacon cheeseburger, with tomato, onion and mayo. The smoked Gouda was a good choice of cheese. Paired with a local black IPA.

Green chile cheeseburgers with chile from the south of France. But with local red wine, not a beer.

Please stop introducing one of the world’s finest culinary combinations to other countries. It’s hard enough to score Hatch chiles in the PNW. Once this little secret gets out to the rest of the world, forget about it. I’ll never be able to buy quality green chiles anymore.

Over here we usually buy green chile grown in Morocco, this was French chile and it was excellent. Europeans label the origin of all fresh produce and meats so consumers know where their food comes from. My wife put the last 2 chiles in today's ratatouille, we'll see how her sister's family reacts at lunch.
In the US we live 80 miles from Hatch and buy at least a bushel every fall to get us through the cold winter, We used to live on the other side of NM and the chile we bought at a farm outside of Artesia put the Hatch stuff to shame. But when the farm owners retired their kids were not interested in farming so that source disappeared.
Update. The store near us has relleno sized chiles so we're having stuffed tomatoes and chiles tomorrow.

Last year I bought a bushel of real Hatch and roasted and froze them. I’m down to just one or two vac bags. Only a couple of months till they’re ready again!
It’s hard to eat a cheeseburger without a slab of chile.
Last trip I made to AZ, I ordered a green chile burger at a restaurant and they made a roux w cheese and chile. It was tasty.

In El Paso a few years ago I ordered a chile cheeseburger, forgetting momentarily I was in Texas, The burger arrived, covered in orange stuff full of meat and beans. Nasty burger.

After a rainy walk with the dogs through Princeton University, we stopped at a place that’s been on my list for a long time, the Historic Rocky Hill Inn & Tavern. We split two great burgers and I had an Old Speckled Hen and a Fiddlehead IPA.

Venison and brisket burger, classic toppings with homemade pickles and the dog is topped with homemade hot zucchini relish. Wcipa do wash it down. Fancy dinnerware.

Smoked gouda and burger sauce by my stepdaughter, on a brioche bun. Roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts with crumbled bacon. Paired with my Scottish Ale.
