When we heard about the newest
addition to the Jack in the Box breakfast menu, some of us at the office got into a heated discussion. I was completely shocked to hear that
DearSugar rarely eats fast food and has never been to a
Taco Bell in her life.
I, on the other hand, can let loose and enjoy a drive-thru burger every now and then, especially when a late-night craving strikes.
US Burgers Will Kill You? Like the Minutemen, another controversial group who has erected signs at the border between the US and Mexico, PETA has a billboard all cooked up and aimed at the migrating population heading across the border. The PETA placard has a stronger message than "we keep this road clean" — the animal rights superadvocates want immigrants to cross over, and cross meat off their shopping list.

Although one of her specialties is turkey burgers, lately
DearSugar has been in a recipe rut. I decided to help her spice things up with this savory and scrumptious recipe.
Instead of being served on a bun, the burger gets placed inside a pita pocket.

A widespread shortage of meatless
Gardenburgers has put veggie patties in short supply and high demand.
The Seattle Times reports that Gardenburgers have been scarce since April and May, when parent company
Kellogg's discovered a quality control issue. Stressed rivals
Boca Burger,
MorningStar Farms, and
Amy's Kitchen are scrambling to meet the veggie burger needs of the country.

Happy
4th of July. Making a delicious all-American meal doesn't have to take all day: this juicy, grilled burger is ready in just twenty minutes. Instead of mixing the ground beef with minced vegetables, the meat is seasoned with a store bought horseradish mustard.

Since the Fourth of July is a holiday that celebrates all things American, serve a delicious meal of classic American dishes. Start things off with a tex mex favorite: guacamole and chips. Set up a burger bar with an assortment of cheeses, vegetables, and condiments.

Sloppy Joes are a delicious alternative to the boring old burger. This recipe, which uses chorizo, pork, garlic, Worcestershire, and brown sugar, is simple yet spicy. Because the meat is ground, the sandwiches come together quickly.

With the arrival of British
Burger King's bling burger, the world just got a little more ridiculous. At £95 (about $200), this burger puts
New York's $175 burger to shame. The burger will enter the
Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most expensive hamburger.

One of the seminars I attended while at the
Food and Wine Classic in Aspen was
Bobby Flay's "Grill It!" The Food Network star was incredibly entertaining, rowdy, and funny. His demo consisted of a surf-and-turf theme: first he made lobster and clams then he made three types of burgers. The master of the grill, Bobby is particular about creating the perfect burger.
