"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.

How it Began

A group of us at work used to enjoy the burger at Ye Lion's Den in Ogden about once a month. Sadly, they closed awhile back and we haven't been able to find a burger we like as well. Seriously, we craved that burger! So, after months of trying to figure out what to do, we decided to start a search for a burger to become our new favorite.
