After my cooking injury, I wanted a comforting burger but it seemed silly to pay $15 for a good burger in this economy. I convinced Angeles we could make it at home (well, she could do the actual cooking) for a fraction of the cost. Looks pretty good, huh? This was easy... 80% lean ground beef and brioche buns from Trader Joes. We added half a packet of onion soup mix and an egg to the meat and made two honking patties. Cooked on the grill pan til medium with a bit of white cheddar on top. Oh, and the fries are from McDonald's bought fresh from the fryer when the burger was almost done."Nothing is more agreeable to look at than a pretty gourmande in full battle dress." ~ Brillat-Savarin
