The best stuffed bacon cheeseburger ever

The full process of stuffing it carefully, wrapping it with bacon, slathering it with green sauce, etc, can be found on 9gag…..in large, glorious, drool-worthy photos.

I’m slightly disappointed that’s green chili sauce and not an avocado guacamole sauce, but any and all hints of disappointment are smothered away by the oozing cheese.

Braille sesame seed buns – Marketing at its best

beef, burgers, news, restaurant | January 27, 2012 | By

Alright, so I kinda laughed when I first saw this. Seriously? Braille on buns?? What kind of advertising stunt is this? sigh

But then I watched the video, and really, it’s not such a bad idea. Sure, it’s publicity stunt, but I’m pretty okay with that. They made some good points, thought creatively, and are reaching an audience that is rarely catered to in food, much less in a way like this. It’s pretty awesome!

Braille words on sesame seed bun from Wimpy's burger chain in South Africa promoting national braille literacy month with burgers.

The month is about over, but January was National Braille Literacy Month and these burgers are from Wimpy’s in South Africa. They also released all new braille menus, but the burgers are the cool part. Unfortunately, they aren’t actually a regular item on the menu and were just brought to a blind institution for promotional purposes, of course, but the commercial makes you think.

“….but for people who use their hands as their eyes, this was the first time they could do more than just their food. They could see it.” :)

Fry an egg in a burger

Cut a hole in the middle of a ground beef hamburger patty, and fry in egg in the middle.  Add cheese and eat like a Scottish egg burger.
The page I saw this on labeled it “I want to do it now.” And so did I, so that’s exactly what I did. A few days later, I war armed with ground beef and eggs.
 
Mine wasn’t quite as neat and pretty, of course, but it was just as tasty.

Oops, some of the egg seeped out underneath.

Here’s the best part, though:

Mmmmm. I wouldn’t normally put beef and eggs together. I think eggs tend to go better with pork as breakfast sausage.
 
As such, I would really like to do this again but with sausage and eggs and maybe on a biscuit instead? That would be wondermous.
