"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.

Renaissance Sea World (Orlando, FL)

The thing about this $15 burger at the sports bar in the lobby of the Renaissance Orlando Sea World Resort that sets it apart from other, more reasonably priced, burgers was the pickles. We don't know what they were made of, but they were ridiculously spicy. C. loved them; S. nearly choked to death from the spice; and V. though they were OK.
