Hi Dave,

 DD>       Title: House-Ground Steak Burger
 DD>  Categories: Beef, Wine, Sauces, Sandwiches
 DD>       Yield: 4 servings

 RH> Of the beef burgers, I'd vote for the Hatch chili one. Ditch the
 RH> processed cheese tho and put on a slice of extra sharp cheddar. I'm not
 RH> much of a beef burger fan tho so the lamb with feta gets my top vote.
 RH> Quite an assortment tho, a far cry from the fast food thin patty of
 RH> gristle and grease. (G)

 DD> Process cheese is appropriate in some places where extra sharp cheddar

I'd rather have real cheese than plastic processed cheezoid stuff,
that's why I made that comment.


 DD> is not. In my experience extra sharp cheddar does *not* go well on a
 DD> hamburger. Medium works much better. Sharp, not so well, but better
 DD> than extra sharp.

I'm not a cheeseburger fan to begin with. Give me a hamburger (done
medium) with a toasted whole wheat bun, bread & butter pickles, a nice
thick slice of non hot house tommato and a good sized piece of leaf
lettuce & I'm happy. The cheese can be eaten on the side--and yes, I
like the extra sharp better than medium. Sharp will do if I can't get
the extra sharp.

 DD> I don't understand why the WSJ had to go to Texas for their Hatch
 DD> Chilies, though. There are a number of good to excellent venues in and
 DD> around Hatch which offer a great Hatch Chile Burger. Bob Olguin's

Hatch is such a small place they might not have been able to find it
outside of chili roasting time. (G)


 DD> Buckhorn Tavern in San Antonio, NM comes to mind. He beat Booby Flay
 DD> in one of those "Throwdown" things on the Food Network. Also in San


I saw a couple of seasons of "Throwdown" before we stopped getting
anything above basic cable in GA.  (Here we just have broadcast.)  Some
things he couldn't have won, no matter how good he was--he was way
outside his "comfort zone."  Others, he gave the opponent a good run for
the money but didn't quite have the right twist to succeed. Then there
were some where he had everything going his way and won fair & square.


 DD> Antonio, The Owl Cafe, Burt's Burger Bowl in Santa Fe, Bobcat Bite
 DD> just outside of Santa Fe, Badland's Burger in Grants. All are
 DD> rightfully well-known for their Green Chile Cheeseburgers.

I'd rather have a green chili hamburger, hold the cheese.


 DD> My favourite burger is full of pork ...

 DD>       Title: Dirty Dave's Pork-U-Swine Sandwiches
 DD>  Categories: Pork, Chilies, Breads, Sandwiches
 DD>       Yield: 8 servings

 DD>       2 tb Water
 DD>       2 ts Hot pepper sauce
 DD>   1 1/2 lb Ground pork
 DD>     1/2 lb Bulk hot Italian sausage
 DD>       8    Sandwich buns
 DD>       8    Lettuce leaves
 DD>       8 sl Onion

 DD>   In large bowl, combine water and pepper sauce; blend well.
 DD>   Add pork and sausage, mix gently.

 DD>   Shape into 8  patties. Place on grill or in pan. Cook until
 DD>   desired doneness, turning once.

 DD>   Serve on buns with lettuce leaves and any desired additions.


Saute some garlic, bell peppers and onion for a topping. Maybe toss some
mushrooms in as well.


 DD>   Serves 4 hungry diners - 8 sandwiches

I'd probably have one, and take one to go. (G)
