The rules for a good sandwich are pretty simple:
- Has to be sloppy…
- …but not so sloppy that it can’t be held together
- Naturally, it better taste good
- The eater should be sorry when its gone
- The eater should feel a little guilty that they ate it
The burger I had today was a bison burger at Ted’s Montana Grill. The name of it is ‘The Kitchen Sink.’ Now, it’s not quite that audacious. But still: bacon, grilled onions, mushrooms, tomato, pickles, Jack cheese, ham, and a fried egg. When I ordered, the server gave me a half “OK” and half horrified look. I don’t think she even liked serving it. The Wife didn’t like looking at it. Probably because it looked like a coronary on a plate. It had to easily top 1500 calories. It took me a good couple of minutes to figure out how to tackle it.
When I finally picked it up, the egg broke and coated the whole thing in yolk- as well as a good portion of the plate. But, once I finally started eating it- just … WOW. Heaven on a bun. I sopped up the drippings on the plate. I licked my fingers. I savored every bite. I didn’t dare put it down because I was not going to be able to pick it up again. The Wife coudln’t believe I ate the whole thing. I couldn’t believe there wasn’t more of it.
Did I feel guilty about eating it afterwards? Yes- like I said, it had to be worth 1500 calories. How could I not feel guilty. I didn’t even bother to have dinner.
4 stars. 2 thumbs up. Go find one for yourself.
