Now that we’re in the new house, it’s time to start breaking in the huge kitchen!



Burger of the Gods. Oh my, this certainly does live up to its namesake.

The downside of this recipe is that you need to grind your own meat, and that requires a good food processor. Good food processors are not cheap, but after eating these hamburgers, the cost of one is certainly a value. Of course, there’s a myriad of other things to do with a food processor, but grinding up your own beef easily is a task that it excels at.

The other downside is that the meat will be more expensive than the traditional ground beef that is in the supermarket. But I really don’t see how I could ever make a hamburger again out of that stuff. There’s really no comparison.

After seeing the Good Eats episode where Alton Brown makes these hamburgers, he suggests that the first time you try them, to only use mayonnaise and some pepper on the toasted bun. Okay, I’ll give it a shot.

Wow. The juices from the hamburger mix in with the mayonnaise and make a sauce of its own. I assume from now on that I’ll be using the regular hamburger trappings because they will make the burger that much better, but it certainly doesn’t need any help!

And now to figure out what to make next!
