Well now I am into burgers again thanks to this thread.
Homemade style! spinach, onions, tomatoes, 1/2lb patty on small bun
Medium Rare ? Damn straight- I think my apartment is now the only place in town that allows medium rare burgers

That's one fine looking burger you have there.

Do you put a few onion rings on the burger itself, or am I the only one?

New arby's sandwich (limited time offer)

Smoked Turkey Breast
Smoked Cheddar Cheese
Crispy Onion Strings
White BBQ Sauce
Star Cut Bun

Yeah buddy

Our smoked turkey isn't "smoke flavored." It's smoke infused. We smoke it for eight hours over mesquite wood in a smokehouse in Texas. Then we put it on an artisan style roll and top it with smoked cheddar, crispy onions and white BBQ sauce to make our Smokehouse Turkey sandwich. If you've never had smoked turkey before, this is the best place to start.

Made a burger for lunch. Some pork belly blanketing the cheese burger and a roll. There are potatoes and salad on the side. I like heat so slathered some homemade Habanero sauce on top. No sure about the beef-fat ratio, its just the ground beef the butcher sells.

What happens when the juices run off, is there a grate that catches the juices and funnels it back through a tube that then sprays it back on the meat like a fine mist that can also be used as a cologne, inhalant, or even possibly harnessed into a liquid that could then be made into a soup or carbonated into soft drink? Maybe it's even possible to continuously burn the juices till it becomes a condensed solid wax for a candle to give to people for xmas presents. I'm trying to see all the potential business angles on this puppy. The average person sees a slab of stone, I see endless possibilities.

I just cooked a frozen bison burger and it was the best burger I've ever had hands down. No idea how it happened considering I've eaten many burgers all over the place but it did. I'm contemplating cooking another one.

The burger was very rare inside and cooked well on the outside. I'm slightly concerned I might have eaten raw bison but it was so incredibly good that I didn't care.

I'm having a hard time explaining the taste of the meat. Honestly I thought before I cooked it that it would taste slightly gamey, but it turned out to taste like the best beef ever.

This burger has changed my life. I have absolutely no desire to be a vegetarian anymore. I will eat this all the time from now on.

I'm just sitting here dumbfounded eating my second bison burger. This is like one of those rare occurrences where I try something new and ask myself where has this been my whole life. I've had bison burgers before a couple of times and remember them being good, but this is extraordinary. It tastes better than any fine cut steak I've had or any food in general for that matter. This is the best food I've ever had point blank. I want to cook another hamburger just to experience this again, but I don't want to overeat. I ask myself how a burger can taste so good. How often can you say you just ate the best food you've ever had in your ENTIRE life? Alright, I don't want to keep ranting, but goddamn this was good. Ditch the ribs, it's full on bison baby!

I was thinking maybe add some ground bacon into the bison meat since it's so lean, but the bison has a complete flavor profile all by itself. I didn't mind how lean it was at all. I'd be interested to try adding some bacon to the mix to bring it down from 90% to 80% lean to see if by some godly possibility it could taste even better.

Actually now that I remember correctly, I might have eaten an elk burger in Portland, not a bison. Anyways, I've come to the conclusion that these less domesticated animal taste better. So that leads me to my next question.

Has anyone had any wild boar ribs?

when I'm state-side I'll give bison another try...I've haven't had it in many years but I remember it being not bad.

wild boar ribs? no ribs but I've had wild boar thigh meat (schweinhaxen) and roast...not too impressed with the strong game flavor and dryness..perhaps it was only the preparation but I steer clear of it and prefer the domesticated sort!

Yeah, now that I'm reading about it the feral hogs aren't that great primarily because of what they eat in the wild. It's a hit or miss.

How does wild boar taste? | Field & Stream

Maybe what I'm thinking about is free-range pig ribs. They got to taste better considering the pigs are less stressed and have a stable food supply.

Feral hogs are a big problem here in Texas so they are free game to hunt all year round. Got a few a couple of years ago and they were amazing. Ribs, bacon, etc just awesome flavor.

BTW I love bison burgers.

I'm about to cook two more bison burgers today to celebrate my birthday. Well, I'd cook them anyway birthday or not, but I figure it's more the reason. Maybe I'll cook a bison burger everyday for the rest of my life and live to 110 like that woman who claims miller lite is the key to her longevity.

Lately I've been adopting a philosophy about truly listening to myself and doing what I want. Some may think this leads to indulgence, but I think if we listen hard enough the inner being inside ourselves it will tell us to put more vegetables on our hamburgers and make healthy choices. If you're thirsty drink, if you need to go to the bathroom go. Are you tired? sleep. For me this builds discipline for impulse control unlike previous attempts. If I feel I shouldn't take the trade, I listen and don't take the trade. I guess you could pose the argument it works both ways, but for me it's working the better of the two because I'm more in-tune with my gut feelings. It's better to flow with the grain than against it. Did I mention my gut loves me more too because bison is the best?
