It was burger night again – I couldn’t resist. This thing was really too tall to get in my mouth, and I have a huge ogrish maw. Eating it was a bit of work.
The Supermercado on the corner had an amazing deal on fresh pineapple – I bought and butchered a whole pineapple for those two slices. Note: grilling fresh pineapple takes a lot longer than grilling canned pineapple – it also tends to produce a fair amount of juice that you’ve got to get out of the pan to really get good carmelization.
The only really notable detail of this burger beyond the pineapple thing is that I got indecisive and it has both fried yellow onions and sliced red onion on it. Lastly, I’m in agreement with this LA Times article – fertile eggs really do make a better fried egg.
Good LORD, man.
It was good, but eating it was a real battle – I almost didn’t make it.
Wait, are those tater tots in the background? Mm tater tots.
I fear for your LDL cholesterol levels!
OOOOOH that looks incredible!
i wish i had my camera with me last nite – i had homemade short ribs, old fashioned mac & cheese and mexican bbq corn. agree with you on the egg thing too…
rad.ive noticed that youre big on them tots.as am i.
"It was good, but eating it was a real battle – I almost didn’t make it."
as in you almost didnt eat it all
or
you almost died while eating it all
Those are tots in the background. I left them off the plate to better showcase the burger. Tater tots are awesome. When I was in high school, one of my more drug addled friends once came over to my house and extorted me to force me to make her tater tots – they drive people to crime!
I don’t worry too much about my cholesterol – 98% of what I eat is reasonably healthy – fruit, cereal with soymilk, lots of vegetables, olive oil, fish. It’s just that stuff isn’t so much fun to photograph.
Andrew – "as in you almost didn’t eat it all" – I’m not the eater I used to be.
Wow, first Vesuvius and now this. Very impressive.
I feel suddenly hungry; think I’ll wander down to the kitchen to see what I can rustle up….
YIKES!
You gotta big mouth!
I mean that in the most literal of ways.
Fried egg on a bacon cheese burger? Are you tempting fate?
Dr. Reelgood – There’s no cheese on this guy – I’m lactose intolerant. Even before I was intolerant (like 70% of all humans – you cheese eaters are the minority, dammit!), I never really liked cheeseburgers.
I hereby dub thee Burgermeister Extraordinaire!

yummmmmmm!
Duh, of course fresh pinnaple takes longer frying time, cause canned pinnaple are already soaked in liquid! No seriously tho’…whats the point of dressing your shirt with pinnaples huh? lol
Did you win? That looks like more of a challenge than a meal.
I haven’t lost to a burger yet, but I almost lost to a monstrosity I ordered at The Counter in Santa Monica about a month ago. Maybe my age is showing.
mega-burger it might be, POWER burger it definitely should be.

you make me oh so hungry by staring at you for hours and hours and hours. you are everything i wanted.
low carbohydrate diet
oh ok so this is NOT a cake
After all that, this burger lacks cheese!??!?! Hilarious!!
I’m massively lactose intolerant. I never got into the habit of eating cheeseburgers as a kid, and I don’t really like cheese on my hamburgers, unless it’s something fun like gruyere or gouda.
Oh, I read that you were lactose intolerant. It’s just funny to see you’ve got your own personal smörgåsbord in between those buns and to realize after all that there’s no cheese, which is like the default for a burger.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!
Nice burger – you need to try Ray’s Hellburger in Arlington, VA and compare. I’m betting this was pretty good though.
hi, we used this mouth-watering image for a post at the American Journal of Nursing blog, Off the Charts. It’s a thumbnail that’s attributed to you and links back to this page. Thank you! ajnoffthecharts.com/2010/06/29/ada-70th-scientific-sessio…
