Thanks for the review. I've been wanting to try these. Not for any other reason than I'll try anything once. They look like big breakfast sausage patties after they've been cooked. It seems as though if you don't go in with the expectation that they'll taste like a real burger, just something different, they would be OK.

Two questions -

1.) Did you use any condiments?

2.) Do you think they would taste better if you didn't use butter? Don't get me wrong. I'm all for butter, but just wondering if cooking them in that type of fat makes it better or worse. Could they be cooked in a skillet on their own or would they stick and crumble?

I dressed mine with red onion and wrapped in lettuce only. Stayed away from mustard and Ketchup just to really taste the burger itself. I'd say they'd be far closer to burger territory if I added extra condiments though.

As for the butter, I think I could remove it all together if I used a non stick skillet. I didn't taste any richness in the meat from the butter, so it's still a guessing game. But again, these had no hard sear on them even though I used ripping hot cast iron. So using a skillet might result in even less than idealistic exterior texture.

My dad just had half of one. He said they're alright, but the taste is mushy.

These burgers are jut the beginning. They are turning us into a meatless society. Just look at the news back pages.

There is some other stuff going on that you guys would think I'm nuts if I told you.

Alex is ug. I watch David DuByne who is a commodity trader. He's got the inside scoop on the food markets. He knows which sections are producing, and which is not. Did you know that Australia lost over 100,000 head of cattle last week because of flooding. The flooding also wiped out about 50% of their growing fields too.

I know. I just like to be well rounded in my knowledge on things. I have a very wide interest in a lot of stuff.

Day is finally here. These are my true plating skills. This is Prosciutto, mozzarella, and basil wraps with a balsamic reduction sauce and cracked black pepper.

Leingod · 02-16-2019, 03:19 PM

The next course has been surved. Pan seared Scallops in a lemon oil atop a bed of Arugula. Plated on a pink salt block. Served with a lemon honey dressing with shaved red onion. Garnished with lemon wedges and Sriracha sauce.

Leingod · 02-16-2019, 07:12 PM

Course number 3. This was done almost like a dance. Everything in rhythm right up to plating. And dear God was this easily the best meal I've ever made. The contrast of flavors were out of this world. The next best comparatively would be going to a 1 star michelin restaurant.

From left to right:

Hassleback sweet potato. Slow roasted and basted every 20 minutes with a whipped garlic butter. Topped with Italian bread crumbs. Underneath was a carrot puree for color and allowing the potato to stick better to the plate.

In between are stupidly slow sauted carrots. You keep the butter barelt foaming so the fats don't separate. Add cognac and ignite flame. Add brown sugar and reduce to a glaze.

Filet mignon sous vide for 2 hours at 134.5F. Seated via cast iron at 600f and basted with butter, thyme and rosemary. Topped with a whipped garlic butter that was hand rolled.

Broiled lobster tail (which failed to butterfly properly). Basted with lemon whipped butter and paprika.

Pulled pork for dinner tonight. 14 hr smoke with hickory. I let Susan do the dry rub. It's a bit on the spicy chili side. Basted with marachino cherry juice and bourbon bbq sauce the last 2 hours.
