Easily the best burger I ever had was at this small little bistro in Montreal. Kobe beef that had been grilled with garlic/butter fried mushrooms. It was topped with a slice of apple-smoked back bacon, buffalo mozza, smoked-gouda, thinly-sliced bourbon-braised peppered-pears and the previously mentioned mushrooms. It was served on a toasted roll with sweet potato fries. Ungodly good.

Myself, when I make homemade burgers, I go with a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 mixture of spiced veal, lean beef and pork. I roll this around some buffalo mozza, diced tomato and pre-toasted garlic. I wrap it with a few slices of thick cut apple bacon, quickly pan-sear them to bind the bacon and seal in the juices, then finish on the grill. Serve with a pickle and some thrice-fried fries and you're good to go.

How much did you pay for a Kobe beef burger. Kobe beef is ridiculously expensive. Those cows drink sake and get messages!

At college, there was a bar and grille called the Feve with a pretty awesome Avacado Bacon Burger served with garlic fries and a rasberry vinigrette salad. It was a pretty delicious.

Good ingredients and thoughtful presentation usually win me over for a burger but that's a given for any food.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
