Making the perfect burger..

The last couple of posts have featured everybody's favourite fast food item - burgers. This got me thinking, what makes the perfect burger? Quite often over the years we have tried to create the perfect burger at home. I then stumbled upon the following article courtesy of Yahoo, where they share their tips on making the perfect burger at home.

What do you think?

The meat
One of the most important things to remember when buying meat for your burger is that it must contain some fat. Don’t just reach for the leanest beef mince you can find – fat gives flavour and succulence and a very lean burger will dry out and go crumbly.

Big Mac Sauce - Secret Revealed!

So, the Big Mac has to be the most iconic burger in the world. It is the flagship burger of McDonald's Restaurants worldwide.

The burger consists of two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on a three part sesame seed bun. The difference between this burger, and others from rival fast food outlets is the sauce.

KFC - Lynfield.. Double Down time!

It was a beautiful Friday afternoon in Auckland today and having nothing to eat since breakfast, a late lunch was very much needed. Having left work early to attend a funeral, I found my way back to Lynfield where this blog began.

I've noticed quite a bit of advertising on Facebook about the Double Down coming back, but with a difference. Previously, you could only order the original recipe chicken fillet. In this "comeback" you can get new grilled or zinger versions.

Being a fast food pro, I already tried the zinger burger fillet in the original Double Down run. It was fantastic, and proceeded to tell everyone I knew before the promotion had run out. Upon hearing that it would appear as a new "flavour" I was ecstatic and was hoping the official Zinger double down would taste as good as my experimental version a kind KFC Balmoral staff member made for me last year.

Sals - Auckland City

I was working late on Thursday due to a big project I'm working on. As luck would have it my mate Michael happened to have a late night conference call. Michael and I are THE fast food experts. Between the two of us, we have probably tried everything on the menu at usual fast food places. During uni, our lunch would would consist of hunger busters + a burger on the side. Of course, if you didn't have the burger on the side you weren't a real man.

Good times.

Wendy's - Lynfield

It was a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon in Auckland, time for the perfect romantic lunch right? Perhaps head to the Viaduct, or maybe check out one of the newish places at Wynyard Quarter?

Nope.

If you want a true food baby, you have to do it the proper way.
