"I believe that the great American hamburger is a thing of beauty, its simple charms noble, pristine. The basic recipe--ground beef, salt, and pepper, formed into a patty, grilled or seared on a griddle, then nestled between two halves of a bun, usually but not necessarily accompanied by lettuce, a tomato slice, and some ketchup--is, to my mind, unimprovable by man or God. A good burger can be made more complicated, even more interesting by the addition of other ingredients--like good cheese or bacon.....relish perhaps, but it will never be made better." - Anthony Bourdain, from the chapter entitled 'Meat', in his book Medium Raw.

Grideli's (South Ogden, UT)

A tray of burgers at Grideli's. And ooh, they even have S.'s favorite: sweet potato fries!
















S. got the bleu cheese burger, which is one of her favorites. And this one looked very good when it was served.
















But after a few minutes, it started to fall apart. Look how messy S.'s hands out - she hates to get her hands dirty! Some people make their bleu cheese burgers with real, crumbled bleu cheese; others make it by smothering the burger in bleu cheese dressing. Grideli's goes with the second option.
















While it was a fine-tasting burger, we are all of the opinion that we prefer bleu cheese crumbles to bleu cheese dressing, for burgers anyway.
