That the burger itself was when someone put ground beef on a particular type of enriched bun because ground beef patties had been around forever anyway. I like the point...that's why he was so interesting...he'd really thought something through that is really so simple and had a really strong opinion of what it should be but without being snotty about it. I bought the book the minute I walked inside. His point was that they’re not burgers.

I have very staunch ideals when it comes to my burger. It has to be the right meat, cooked correctly...served on the right bun...or even toast sometimes..seasonings/toppings. Not many places make one to my liking. I really enjoyed the burger at Five when they had it on their lunch menu....word on the street you can get it at Newstead...but I digress....a burger is a very personal thing. Everyone has his or her preference. I love burgers. I must admit, I am a burger snob. I have very staunch ideals when it comes to my burger.
