Week #200... another milestone for BOTW... For Burger #100, I went to Graydon's Crossing and had a grass fed hamburger (this is a big deal since I'm a vegetarian...)
I wanted to do something different for #200, so I had my friend Matt make me a burger using pre-approved beef from Montello Meat Market at the Downtown Market.
Matt hand-ground the meat and made simple patties with just salt and olive oil as seasoning. He fried them (breifly) on a cast iron skillet and served them with Shed's BBQ, Kraft Cheddar singles and sautéed onions.
I couldn't eat this burger fast enough. It was unbelievable. Cooked fully through, with a seared outside and juicy middle, it has me seriously questioning my vegetarian status. Now that is some serious beef.
You should be questioning your vegetarian status.... 'cause if you eat meat, you're not *actually* a vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
DeleteI eat a hamburger every 100 weeks for this blog. And I always make sure its meat that I "approve" of. I'm not opposed to eating meat in general, I'm opposed to mass-produced factory meat.
But then you're a flexitarian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-vegetarianism
DeleteFine, if you're more comfortable with that term, I'm a flexitarian... once every 2 years. I liken it to someone being a Christian. They may believe in the Bible, but I'm sure there's some aspects they've chosen to adapt and/or some moments where they've "stepped away". Consider this burger my sin.
