"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.

Delta Flight # 9 from Salt Lake City to Orlando

S. scored an upgrade to first class on a recent flight to Orlando and was served a burger for lunch. How perfect for the burger blog, she thought! Thank goodness she had a camera nearby.



















Too bad S. didn't have a way to text this photo to V., who was back in coach. She had to just wait until they landed to brag about her burger experience.

Although it was just a microwaved burger, and one side of the bun was hard, it was still so much better than what we get on planes these days that it rates like a five-star experience.
