This post is from my trip to South Korea back in May 2009. I didn't put it up at the time because it was far from being a significant part of my trip and after I wrote it, I realized it was sort of...totally...pointless. But I'm resurrecting this two-year-old post from the land of forgotten drafts due to this week's topic of memorable food we've smuggled home on a trip. More
It's the latest in blogs combining burgers and something generally unassociated with burgers: Burgers and Nails. Posts feature burgers and the polished nails of the burgers' eaters, usually with commentary about the burgers and the nail polish/art. (I'm still waiting for Burgers and Kittens. Or puppies. I'm good with either.) [via Eater] More
Inspired by the blog Galaxies In Sh*t, featuring animated gifs of galaxies in places they shouldn't be (that is, just about anything), I made you some In-N-Out burgers with nebula/galaxy meat patties. Taste the beefy rainbow of interstellar dust and gas and stuff. More
Last time we wrote about famous Big Mac lover Don Gorske he had eaten nearly 23,000 Big Macs in 36 years, earning him a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Three years later at the age of 57, he's on his 25,000th burger, to be eaten this afternoon at a McDonald's in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, where he ate his first Big Mac on May 17, 1972. "Not even a million dollars could get me to go someplace else," Don says in this video from NBC. Congratulations, Don! More
15 Big Macs. 15 Baconators. 15 Teen Burgers. Custom Jack Daniels meat sauce. Big Mac sauce. Loads of bacon. Lots of shredded cheese. Onion rings. These are the ingredients in Epic Meal Time's fast food "lasagna." You know, if lasagna were made with fast food burgers instead of pasta. More
[Photograph: Paula Forbes / Eater] Last week on Parks and Recreation, Ron Swanson revealed the extent of his turkey burger knowledge: "Is that a fried turkey leg inside a grilled hamburger?" If it weren't real before, it is now,... More
Man, and I thought the ham, turkey, and Swiss-topped Monte Cristo burger I ate at Rub BBQ was excessive. It's got nothing on the Kevin Butler, a double bacon cheeseburger with two deep fried Monte Cristo sandwiches-for-buns. More
Last Friday the GS Supermarket chain in South Korea unveiled "The Greatest Burger" featuring a chicken patty (aw, where's the beef?) topped with tomato, cucumber, lettuce, and pickles, for a total weight of 600 grams (21 ounces) and a diameter of 25 centimeters (9.8 inches), according to The Straits Times. Each burger comes in a large cardboard box and is meant to be shared between six people (like Burger King's Pizza Burger). The regular price is 12,000 won ($10.70), but it's being sold for only 5,000 won until Thursday. The burgers sold out on their first day. More
From the blog Awkward Stock Photos comes this awkward stock photo of a man about to chomp into what looks like a plush burger. Why a fake burger? [shrugs] More
