a hike and a hamburger

[Clint]

You see the deer down there?

Sometimes my rumbling stomach gives me the best ideas

Half a loaf of garlic French bread, about 1/3# ground chuck sprinkled liberally on both sides with garlic powder & fresh ground black pepper.

2nd flip to get rid of the pooling juices

Lots of ketchup - I didn't want to do too much to it this time

I gave each loaf a squeeze in the bag - the top ones were obviously oldest (crunchy). I cut the loaf in half and really didn't open it on the grill for long, it was wrapped tightly in foil. I didn't exactly plan a side but a couple slices of pineapple did just fine.

Burger look's great Clint.

Great burger after a hike.

Thanks guys. There's a good meat market that Jason Noble has pointed me at a few times - they have interesting cuts like you just put up Russ... it'll probably take a few more years (and many mistakes) before I can pull that off. (sorry to hear about your mom)

Great burger! Those look like mule deer

Great idea for a burger!!

 

[Clint]

wish I could take full credit - there was a place called Sliders (a Mexican restaurant has taken it's place) where I ordered something similar many years ago..... this was more manageable than theirs. It might be kind of fun for the family, or maybe not, to do a great big burger and slice everyone off a slice.. I think it'd be pretty easy to do 4 good burgers from one loaf but you'd better plan on some sides. There are also a couple of places that do really good garlic burgers here that I was trying to recreate (The Cotton Bottom & The Busy Bee)

I would be wanting a burger after gettin' myself up that 'hill'! My tongue would be hangin' like Sparkys, too.

That looks great Clint I'd take one of those anytime!

Looks good Clint. What an unbelievable non-winter we've had.

Looks good Clint. What an unbelievable non-winter we've had.

I know ---- we were working down south today & I noticed the snow line was about half of what it was a couple years ago when I skied Lone Peak in May....

Last Saturday I realized the ski season had peaked @ Snowbird---- long story but I wound up with a Ten-2-Share pass from Snowbird (along with a regular season) and I'll feel silly anytime I see it if there are any unused ski days on it so I'm taking a friend up on Saturday for his birthday, & my cousin on Sunday, took a friend up last Sunday----gotta burn these last 5 off real quick.

I think I shoveled the driveway only 4-5 times this year...

Looks like great fun. The burgers taste better when you're outside doing your thing.
