“i foie’d the law” burger
A cow, a pig and a goose walk into a bar, like the Speak Easies of prohibition, this Honk Easy serves a forbidden delight. It is a burger that flogs convention and for that it has been outlawed… well, at least it’s topping! It is a sumptuous and savory burger that mixes two parts beef to one part pork combined with finely diced and sautéed onions along with hints of cocoa and chili powder. The flavors mount with a homemade dill mayo, heirloom tomatoes, arugula and ketchup all served on toasted ciabatta bread that is strong enough to hold this riot of crunchy moist essence. There’s a balsamic reduction drizzled over the top that brings you a pleasant tang that certainly is memorable. It is a delicious burger for any occasion! Each quality bite is full of complimentary flavors. What makes this anarchy between the buns? Soon, it will be a forbidden food. Sautéed foie gras sits atop the best burger you will ever enjoy. It is a gaggle of calories that will be unlawful in 2012. While PETA may call Foie Gras the “Delicacy of Despair” you’ll find the pairing of these two vastly different culinary staples to be delightful… while it’s still legal. Make it for your friends this summer before the shady underworld of foie gras smugglers adds danger and expense to this experience. Enjoy this swan song from the grill. Play duck, duck, goose! As you serve the burgers to a table who may never have such a wonderful burger otherwise. Liver let die, this culinary delicacy of delight is a must have because you won’t find it in the state of California next year. A recipe so bad it was outlawed; a taste so good you’ll want more. Foie the law!
