Searching for the perfect burger is a national obsession. ML sends along a link to Sutter Home’s Build a Better Burger challenge. On the same site is the BurgerBase, a collection of over 5,000 burger recipes.

The Hamburger Fatty Melt
Dear Tampa restaurants – Will one of you please put one of these on your menu? Thanks, Dave.
The hamburger fatty melt is a burger with two grilled cheese sandwiches as the buns.
It must be close to lunchtime because that’s looking really good.
EVOS Press Release – FREE BURGERS
I occasionally receive press releases. Most I ignore, but with a few I have posted snippets and links to the pertinent sites. I’m posting this whole release from EVOS just because I like them, and I like supporting them. (Now if they’d only take out an ad!)

EVOS Promotes “Get Smart About Antibiotics Week”
Customers to get [...]
Burger with Spicy Blue from Le Gourmet TV
“Julie from Le Gourmet TV & meets up with Luke from Rosenborg in the LCBO Events Kitchen.
“They trace the origins of Danish Blue cheese, explore the wide range of blue cheese available on store shelves, and prepare a couple of simple and tasty recipes from the Rosenborg website.”
Best Burger – Green Iguana
The purpose of this burger search was to be a tie-breaker. Each poll for best burger led to a deadlock, so, as editor, it seemed reasonable that I should try several of the local favorites and serve as a tie-breaker. I have, and I’m going with the Green Iguana burger.
There is, however, a slight caveat. [...]
Pane Rustica Burger
Of course I had to try it.
Today was the first chance I had to get over to Pane Rustica to try their burger. Creative Loafing’s Brian Ries recently crowned the Pane Rustica burger as the best in Tampa, with The Kitchen’s burger as a close runner-up.
Served on focaccia rather than the traditional bun, this was [...]
Square One Burgers
I actually visited Square One a few weeks ago, but haven’t had time to write about it until now. Is this the best burger in Tampa? They make a pretty damn good burger.
We started off with a side of fries and onion rings. For some odd reason a random server brought us a random [...]
Green Iguana Burger
Tampa I Am writes that the burger at Green Iguana “was cooked perfectly medium and about a 1/2 pound of juicy flavorful beef, topped with cooked onion, avacado, and Caribbean spices, on a very soft fresh baked bun, and came with very fresh and hot crinkle cut fries.”
Sounds good. I’m adding Green Iguana to my [...]
Acropolis Burger Review
Michael thinks I’ve gone about this burger comparison all wrong. My initial strategy was to compare the same burger at every establishment, just a regular burger, no cheese, cooked medium. Michael argued that I should try the signature burger at each establishment. Try the one they’re most proud of. Considering the difficulty of finding a [...]

gnatv.com- Eating my backyard March 14, 2010Spring is arriving shortly and I have lots of plans for my backyard garden. Ever since we attempted a garden show, or at least a how too on the basics, I've been fooling around in my back yard with different plants and techniques for growing edibles and what have you. I found out that winter is a good time in Florida to grow all sorts of yummy stuffs, m […]Grayson

- Liquor Store Diary: Tip Cup January 28, 2010There is a tip cup that sits near the debit keypad. When I was being trained, I asked why a clerk would need a tip cup. The girl training me said that she thought it was crazy too. When she took it away, people asked where the tip cup was. I usually end up spending my tip on soda and food during my shift anyways. lsd2-p1.jpg read more […]Chris
- Liquor Store Diary: You Are Not As Smooth As You Think You Are, Drunkie January 27, 2010Some of you motherfuckers out there think you are witty, clever, suave and other awesome things when you are drunk. You are not. The server is not impressed by the pick up line you just yelled at her, the bar backs are not impressed by your ability to bump into things and not feel pain until tomorrow, and the liquor store clerk is annoyed that you can't […]Chris
- Liquor Store Diary: Can You Spot Me? January 25, 2010Sometimes people come in to the liquor store and want to buy something they don't have money for. "Hey bro, I'm short ten cents for that blunt. Can you spot me?" "No." "Oh ok." lsd2-p_1.jpg read more […]Chris
