One Coronary Burger, Please...

Commenter "stretch" sent me this delicious link:

The Great Bacon Odyssey: Bacon, the Other Crispy Brown Meat
It’s important to pace yourself when on a geek quest of any sort, and this is especially true of those that, like mine, present a certain amount of personal risk. Having last week eaten a (beef) hamburger wrapped in 10 slices of (pork) bacon, I felt it wise to wait a week before attempting another such feat of consumption.

I had read online about several people, over the past five years or so, trying their hand at a burger made out of ground bacon, with no other meat included. I hadn’t intended to try it until later in my Great Bacon Odyssey, but several people suggested it after last week’s triumph, so I started thinking about it more and more. Then it occurred to me: In order to be truly worthy of me, and of the GeekDad name that means so much to me, my quest would have to take me beyond what other people have already done. And to make that possible, I would first have to prove that I was serious. I would have to conquer the bacon burger.

Here it is in all it's greasy glory:


All you need to do is fry up a few extra strips and you could have a bacon baconburger - just the perfect thing to serve to The World's Most Dangerous Librarian with a shot of bacon vodka...

That is all.

Jay,
I bet the bacon-vodka would give a really interesting twist to a Sunday Brunch Bloody Mary . . . hmmmmmmmmmm.

I can feel my arteries clogging just from looking at it. I love bacon as much as the next guy (maybe a little more), but I'll pass on that one.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I'd rather just eat a plate full of bacon.

I did make some baconburgers the other day by kneading ground bacon into the beef... 2lbs of bacon with 2 lbs of beef.... MAN that was good, even put a little Chipotle seasoning on it....
