Pimp My Burger
At A Hamburger Today, we can't help but focus on burgers of unusual size. Whether it's a megaburger or a tiny one, we just can't turn away. Thus, Pimp My Snack.
Pimp My Snack is a site dedicated to creating oversized versions of everyday foods. Although it typically focuses on candy, one of the contributors post their Perfect Burger just yesterday.
Tanya and James, our burger-pimping duo, set out to make a 1:6 scale burger. To accomplish this task, they started with 703g (a little over 1.5 lbs) of "Asda's finest lean beef steak mince combined with an egg". They also added bacon, American cheese, "vegetation", relish and mayo to this concoction. We were nearly amazed when they had finished it all, but, disappointingly, it was over 3 sittings. If they're hoping to join the IFOCE circuit, they've got a lot of training to do.
Was this a worthy pimping? We would say no. Although they get points for doing this all at home, there have been a few great megaburgers built at various establishments around the country that would dwarf this attempt. Sorry burger-pimpers, but you've got to do better. We're talking a minimum of 5 lbs. if you'd like our attention. If you're going to pimp, aim for the Player's Ball and not the gutter.
