Build Your Own Burger

Took Mom & Dad to @CounterBurger with @HipsForHire today. I’m stuffed silly with my delicious design:

In case you can’t read the ingredients list, here’s what I built:

1/3lb Beef (on a Honey Wheat Bun)
Danish Blue Cheese
Greek Feta
Black Olives
Dill Pickle Chips
Organic Mixed Greens
Avocado
Fried Egg
Honey Cured Bacon
Sautéed Mushrooms
Basil Pesto
Horseradish Mayo

I wasn’t sure how well the combination would work, but it turned out to be pretty damn tasty. Dad also ordered a fried egg for his burger, and learned (the hard way) that you should puncture the yolk sac before it explodes all over your shirt when you first squeeze the bun. Here’s what my mouth-watering masterpiece looked like on the plate:

On a recent trip to Fatburger, I became involved in a burger eating contest. I thought “hey, no sweat! I can pack away a burger pretty fast”. This, of course, was before they brought out the WTF Burger. When I took a look at what I was supposed to eat, I indeed thought WTF!!! This thing isn’t a burger, it’s a monster. It is, however, delicious. I’m happy to report that I managed to eat about half of this sucker… even though it’s pretty much the size of my head.

What Do You Put on Your Burger?

I built the ultimate burger (for myself) at Counter Burger in Honolulu, Hawaii. What do you put on YOUR ultimate burger? I like mine with a little stormtrooper, personally (@minifigplanet gave me the LEGO minifigs). By the way, the video and photos on this page were created and uploaded during the tweetup.

If you were to build the ultimate burger, what would be on it? I had a blast building mine – and eating it! Man, was that sucker messy. Counter Burger are a one-of-a-kind experience. When you walk in, you’re handed a clipboard with a ginormous list of ingredients on it. You choose whatever you want – as much as you want – on your burger. There are over 300 thousand different burger combinations, and they claim they rarely make the same burger in a day’s time.

Special thanks to @jlieu at @kahalamallctr – plus Ed Robles & Pablo Buckingham, who are two of the four @kahalacounter owners. Everybody was kind enough to accommodate and allow us to hold an impromptu tweetup there.

I tweeted the link to a photo taken by lifeasart and BigRedPimp decided to photoshop it into this masterpiece. If you’d like to create your own, here’s the original image. I’m sure we can convince the author to allow for derivative works after she sees this particular modification. And yes, I’ve eaten burgers twice that size.
