Kayla Kromer's Burger Bed!

There are burger fans, and there are burger fans. One burger fan in Austin, Texas, decided to make a bed in style of a giant burger. Kayla Kromer is a fast food fan, and loves hamburgers so much that she decided that she wanted to be able to sleep in one. The bed features all the trimmings, with pickle and tomato pillows, lettuce sheets, a cheese slice quilt and a round burger shaped mattress. Kayla Kromer says that her burger bed was inspired the film Hamburger, in which students sleep in burger-shaped beds. She just could not get the image out of her mind, so decided to embark on a prject to build her own. "Once I get an idea, I have to execute it. So far the hamburger bed is the best bed I have ever owned. Not only does it make me smile, it is insanely comfy." - Kayla Kromer Image source: Fun Is Cool Join the fun: Facebook Fan Page - Burger Bed Inspiration: Hamburger: The Motion Picture See also: http://www.hamburgerbed.com/

Burger King Create the Worlds Most Expensive Burger

Good news for the burger world - Burger King, famous for its fast food burgers, has decided to produce a real whopper of a burger. The burger, named 'The Burger', costs GBP95.00 and is only available in one Burger King restaurant, the Gloucester Road, West London branch. So, what are the ingredients of the world's most expensive burger? Wagyu beef* White truffle Pata negra ham slices Cristal onion straws Modena balsamic vinegar Lambs lettuce Pink himalayan rock salt** Organic white wine Shallot infused mayonnaise Served in an Iranian saffron and white truffle dusted bun Celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson simply said that the "It sounds delicious." I would love to try the burger to be able to provide a review, straight from the horses mouth, but cannot afford the bus fare to the West End, so will have to pass. I am not convinced that "organic white wine" is the best choice however. The ingredients are sourced from all over the world, so a splash of organic wine can only be there to attract the green vote. But wouldn't it be great of Burger King, and its rival burger bars and restaurants, made a greater attempt to produce a better burger? I would happily pay six pounds for a high quality burger sandwich (not meal) but we only have the whoopers and Big Macs to choose from, with poor quality bread, bland meat and a garnish that tries to disguise the meat rather than compliment it. *Wagyu refers to several breeds of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling and to producing a high percentage of oleaginous unsaturated fat. Also known as Kobe-style beef, the meat from wagyu cattle is known worldwide for its marbling characteristics, increased eating quality through a naturally enhanced flavor, tenderness and juiciness. Because of the wagyu cattle's genetic predisposition and special diet including beer and sake, wagyu yields a beef that contains a higher percentage of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids than typical beef. The increased marbling also improves the ratio of monounsaturated fats to saturated fats. (Definition from Wikipedia). **why not use Maldon Sea Salt?

Low Carb Chilli-Con-Carne Recipe

A few months ago, I decided that the Burgermeister needed to lose some weight. So I decided to try the Atkins diet. Glad to report that I have so far lost 10kg (about 22 pounds). Of course, the Atkins Diet is probably the only diet that allows you to eat burgers (without the sesame seed bun though). This recipe is actually one suggested by my good pal Rich, who has recently started Atkins for the second time. He kindly gave permission for me to publish his wonderful low carb fat burning chilli recipe. For a hot low carb chilli - extra spice boosts the metabolism! "Use fresh or dried chillies rather than powder. Fennel seeds and coriander seeds! I just remembered that they are also fantastic in their carb:fibre ratio. Here's a recipe for your website that I invented the other day. You know I'm not flexible enough to blow my own trumpet, but it was fracking dellicious! (Net Carb figures in brackets.) 4 chicken breast pieces, no skin. (0) (can try with skin if you like, but the seeds may not stick as well) 1 Green pepper, sliced lengthways (4.8) 200g Celery, chopped into bits about 5cm long. (3.6) 1 tbsp coriander seeds (0.6) 1 tbsp fennel seeds (0.7) 2 dried thai chillis (0) 2 tbsp lemon juice (2.6) 4 tbsp red wine vinegar (0) 2 tbsp roughly chopped basil (0) A few splashes of olive oil (0) Preheat the oven to 200. Grind the seeds and the chillies together in a pestle and mortar until they are a rough powder. Splash some olive oil in the bottom of a heavy bottom, oven pan and heat it on a high hob heat. Whilst it is heating, rub olive oil on both sides of the chicken pieces salt and pepper them well, then rub the seed mixture into both sides of them. Put the chicken pieces in the pan and sear them over the high heat until browned on both sides, remove from the pan. Throw the celery and green pepper into the pan and stir quickly, scraping the nice bits up from the bottom of the pan and mixing it in. When they start to cook, throw in half the red wine vinegar and continue to stir and mix it all up. After a minute or so, the pan off the heat, put the chicken back in and mix it all up, add the rest of the vinegar, the lemon juice and the basil. Stick it in the oven for 12 minutes. Eat it. Absolutely delicious. " Seeing that I am on Atkins, I will be featuring more low carb recipes in the coming weeks / months. Maybe Burgermeister will become a useful resource for low carb / high protein meals, as well as burgers! No promises though, but do check back!
