With Memorial Day fast approaching we posit the question: Is there anything more American than the burger?
Actually, I’m Australian.
I’m All-American though
We really don’t want an answer, mind you. We used posit in that first sentence, so we automatically win. But you can have the consolation prize: Some burger ideas for Monday.
Holy bison batman these are tasty
oh cheesy
Burgers with sun-dried tomato paste, goat cheese and herbs
It needs some fries
Venison Burgers with Roasted Red Bell Pepper

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! My favorite meal, by far, ever, on the entire face of the earth!!!
I love odes. Especially when a burger is involved.
I can smell the grill from here.
What? No Aussie burger?
Aussie Burger (called ” a burger with the lot”)
Beef patty
Cheese
Fried Onions
Tomato
Lettuce
Slices of beet
Slice of pineapple
Big piece of bacon (not American style unfortunately)
Fried egg
Mustard
Ketchup (called tomahto soss here)
You need an industrial press to be able to get it in your mouth. I know other Aussies will disagree with me but they are pretty fat.
They’re also delicious. It took me a while to fathom the egg though.
What no South African burger, Half a beast on a bun… lol
We hardly ever eat burgers – think I should go defrost from mince and make a few patties for on the braai.

Ooh – serious burger cravings are striking here up the mountain!
I’m glad you posted some real burgers!
That first burger picture made my mouth fill up with saliva!
Happy Holiday Weekend. Burgers are the best. Pickles a perfect accompaniment.
We are in Hardy VA and my son’s FIL is smoking two 7 pound pork butts in this big smoker and I thought of you, Greg.
Too funny. We got two butts at the store yesterday. One for sausage, one for smoking.
Ah beef! Its what’s for breakfast — I couldn’t stomach eggs in the morning when I was in school, so my mom sent me off into the Pennsylvania winters with a nice warm burger in my belly! Mmmm… why not? Still love ’em!
That bison on Texas toast gets me every time I see it. Happy Memorial Day!
Was going to try and abstain from burgers this weekend because I love them too much to stop at one. But, I may have to make enough for like, one and a half now.
There is really nothing like a good burger, great beef taste, properly seasoned a little smoke and char from the grill, and the condiments. Thanks for the refresher, Greg, happy memorial day!
It’s very warm in New York City; perfect for a long weekend. Sorry if my comments are delayed!
These pictures make me want a burger real bad! I’ll take three All-American’s please…
LOOOOVE! great post 🙂
Your captions are too much 🙂
Reblogged this on The Hamburger Blogger and commented:

No, not much! A burger is the ultimate go-to for all summer holidays. Hard to beat it!
