THE NANCY BURGER

THE NANCY BURGER

In case you hadn’t guessed by now, I have a ‘fondness’ for burgers. Not McDonald’s burgers or In-N-Out Burgers, but real burgers. Burgers you get at Prime Burger across the street from St. Patrick’s cathedral in New York … or at The Village Idiot (see my “It Takes A Village…” blog) on Melrose in Los Angeles… or those you barbeque at home from ground meat you get at your local supermarket.

And then there’s the Nancy Silverton perfect burger you make at home from the perfect blend of chuck and sirloin... http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-encore070408,0,2060283.story

As you may recall, when Richard and I ventured ‘over the hill’ and ‘into the city’ the other day questing for bangers at the Huntington Meats market, we also bought a pound of Nancy’s ground beef made especially for her and the market’s customers. So the night after our bangers and mash orgy, Richard made us the Nancy Silverton burgers.

For our ‘sides,’ he made some cole slaw, and since we still had about 9-1/2 pounds of that 10 pound bag of potatoes Richard found for 99 cents, he made some French fries in our little deep fryer, while he caramelized some onions.

Our cheese topping of choice was cheddar and, as Nancy instructed, he crumbled it before he placed it atop of the grilling burgers.

Was the burger good?  Oh, my… it was.  Just as advertised... perfect.

And we didn’t have to leave the house to have it. So, if you’re craving for a real burger in your own home, grill yourself The Nancy Silverton ground beef blend perfect burger. Your taste buds will thank you.
