"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.

The McBitchen (Anywhere)

A popular choice for high school and college kids everywhere: the McBitchen is a concoction made from just two items off of McDonald's dollar menu.   All you need is one McDouble and one Spicy McChicken.  And by the way, you added that up right, it's two hamburger patties, one slice of chicken, and two whole buns, all for $2.  A bargain lover's delight.  Guest blogger CR says, "It's a whole lotta burger for $2."  But you probably shouldn't make CR's mistake and eat more than one at a sitting.

Let the deconstruction/reconstruction begin:  First, you unwrap your two sandwiches.  Second, you split the burger in half (between the patties) and place the entire chicken sandwich (bun and all) in between the two burger patties.  Third, you squish it all together and enjoy.  

So, the order is like this:

top bun
burger patty
top bun
chicken patty
bottom bun
burger patty
bottom bun

And mixed throughout is the lettuce and other condiments that come with the sandwiches.  We are equal opportunity burger bloggers, you won't find any burger snobbery here.  

Behold the glorious masterpiece:
