Best Fast Food Burger
It's a question that has been asked many times - which is the best fast food burger?
We all know of the famous brands - Burger King, McDonalds, Krystal and so on, yet we love them all. This is because the burger itself is a simple concept, a basic collection of ground beef and onions that, in essence, has remained exactly as it was when it first arrived on the shores of America in the early 1800's...
All courtesy of sailors who had been to the port of Hamburg, where it all began.
Of course there is a simple answer to the question - the best fast food burger is one that is home made, and that contains the flavors and tastes that you like. That's another thing that makes the burger so great!
We can change it in many ways, alter the meat, add spices, include herbs, top it with cheese, serve it with salad and even make it with no meat at all and it is still the most wonderful and versatile dish we will ever find!
How you make your burger is up to you, but for the standard fast food style burger you need lean, ground beef and finely chopped onions and, if you wish, nothing else (barring egg to bind the ingredients together.)
Adding a touch of garlic here, some basil there, topping it with a slice of tomato or including chili powder makes it your burger, an incarnation of a classic that is yours alone.
That's how the classic Salisbury Steak came about, by one man deciding he wanted to add pork to the mix, and it's how many other superbly tasty burgers have become stalwarts on the scene.
The best fast food burger will always be one that you enjoy, and one that you will come back to time and time again.
