After winning the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role (The Blind Side) Sunday night at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards ceremony Sandra Bullock was quoted back stage stating ““I just want a burger and I just want some food. I want to sit down, take the shoes off. I want to eat and not sweat it and not worry the dress will bust open. I just want to relax and… I’d like a nap, too.” Pretty sexy cheesy words coming from the romantic comedy star who wore a perfectly fitted Marchesa gown. The only question I have is: how did the Oscar winner celebrate her Razzie award for Worst Actress the night before? Hopefully cheeseburger is still the answer.

And here is a pleasant piece of burger art for you. “UFO Burger” composed by Jessica Fortner who “creates unique one of a kind hand-sculpted illustrations. Her sense of visual and conceptual problem-solving creates a one of a kind aesthetic, sense of humor and approach to storytelling.” To get a better grasp of the medium and what hand-sculpted illustrations are exactly Fortner has a very interesting interview you can check out. Enjoy burgermeisters!

I <3 New York...BURGERS! A quick break to New York last week afforded me the lifetime opportunity of inhaling burgers made by those dang yankees.

My first burger stop was a chain that is expanding wildly and tastily. Five Guys Burger and Fries is the proprietor of one of my favorite burgers (Slagosaurus, we were gonna get married and make out all the time together, but then i ate him) and although the San Antonio Five Guys at the Quarry was a bit of a disappointment, I still had fond memories. As my first burger in New York, I give it thumbs up up up and up. Twas delicious and I stand by my recommendation to one and all.

Shake Shack. A burger place that has it’s own iPhone app, deserves it. This burger felt great going down, fresh, organic, and simple. In a big concrete town, this burger makes you feel at home. Crinkle cut fries are absolutely delicious. Shake Shack gets thumbs up, hands down, it’s too legit.

And here comes another fast food chain lounge, wait, what? Lounge? Pop Burger is the answer to your need to be too New York cool and still satisfy my burger craving needs. Why? Because it’s a pop culture cool lounge that serves drinks and gets freaky, and it also serves little pops of burgers. I say watch out, those onion rings are not right. But every other poppin’ thing is just that- POP! Burger!

And now a New York upper east side establishment that keeps the yups on a comin’, J.G. Melon. The first thing I smelt in this place, the bar-b-que sauce. It smelt like sex. I infact twittered, while waiting the 45 minute wait in the ultra-cramp spaced: “Waiting@ jg melon for a table. Burgers smell like bacon/cheese/BBQ sauce & beef met @ a gay club and got weird w/ eachother. In a good way.” And it did! And all the tight warm space and the suits and the ritz and whatever else was totally worth it because that burger was sooooo rad. Added a side bbq sauce and got busy. Yelp has it listed as a $$ ( that’s a double chaching), and i guess it is, but man that sauce was spectacular and this burger in this fine New York establishment won my heartbelly.

Other than the burgers there wasn’t too many great things in New York and so I’d really suggest just going for the burgers. YEAH RIGHT. Go to New York and EAT IT in that glorious beautiful awesome place! or else.

Alas the doublecheeseblogger returns from the busy nothing of life! Everyone listen to me, today in the soggy drip of the day I headed to Freddy’s the frozen custard and steakburger fast food dive on Potranco. I would like to give you a delicious report on the tasty steakburger, however I was a little disappointed in the thinness of the patty. I could barely taste the ground beef surrounded by all the toppings. I had ordered the California Burger combo, a single patty (bad decision) with onions, tomato, lettuce, Freddy’s special sauce (tasted like thousand island), and cheese. All those ingredients overpowered the thin patty. I think it was delicious, in a double patty burger I’m pretty sure it would be great, however the burger in a single number is no bueno.

The fries are anorexic thin but darn it they aren’t addictive. Throw some seasoned salt on those skinny little potato bits or don’t you’ll find yourself inhaling them all. Would I go back, I guess. I’d definitely try a bigger burger and add some bacon, but it’s not the first burger chain to come to mind when I’m jonesing for some cheesy beef goodness. Eat it? I guess.

Favorite shoe ever. So what if my socks are greasy and I’m constantly trying to eat my shoe, that’s the cost of looking extra-cheesy-cool. These nice kicks were designed by the Swedish designer/illustrator Olle Hemmendorff. For more info check this out.

Our next burger comes from a pretty odd place. I heard through the circuit about a sacnpac that sold burgers. First reaction: “Bet they taste like toilet.” Second reaction: “Barfpukehurlllll.” But my source said I had to let go of my bias. Said the cook loves his life, loves what he’s doing, does it with vigor, which makes the burgers from the sacnpac off rr12 in San Marcos, Tx something special.

So I bit my tongue cause I’d just been taught my own lesson and headed up to see if it was delicious on the grill or the stray cat in the alley seasoned poorly. Turns out the sacnpac has a deal with Centerpoint Station, a restaurant that claims to have some pretty darn good burgers. So I decided to put the little ranchroad diner to the test by ordering a burger I’ve never really been a huge fan of. I enjoy the concept of the burger, i’ve seen my brother and sister order it with enthusiasm, but something about it just didn’t call to me: the bean burger. A burger with refried beans, salsa, and cheese. Something about those beans worried me, it could’ve been a pandora’s box we were opening or yuck refried into yuck. ya never know.

Well, the word on the street was right! My bean burger opened my eyes to how life could be. We can put bean on our burgers! On our patties, in our mouths and in our hearts! Bean might be the brown ranch dressing. I devoured my burger and knew: I’d need to come back, I’d need to live again. The burgers were cheap and delicious and on the way out we filled up the gas tank. thank you! Served on a sourdough bun with delicious fries this was one of my better gas station visits. So i think you know what to do, eat it sucka’.

Thought I was dead didn’tcha. So did I. But Van Halen riffs call me. John Cusack would be the amazing actor to daydream in his lowely fast food job a Frankensteinian 10 lb patty picking up a guitar and SHREDDING. Better Off Dead or better of swallowing that 10 pounder whole? A confession would be that the cheeseburger dance party excites me in a slightly strange and entirely soft porn/erotic way…I WANT IT (in my mouth)! hahaha. By the by, you can get this awesome soundtrack on vinyl. Hope this gets you through your day burger lovers. Until next time…EAT IT.
