Default The "$100.00 Gourmet Burger "

Ingredients:

Toasted Onion Kaiser Roll: $.33
1/3 lb home-ground brisket: $.28
2 slices of HEB premium, thick sliced bacon $.40
1 thick slice of Finlandia Munster Cheese: $.17
1 pickled jalapeno, sliced thin: $.03
Sriracha mayo and ketchup: $.04

Method:

The bacon was cut in half to facilitate cooking and assembly. The
burger patty is one of 12 I ground from whole brisket and froze last
week. It was cooked from frozen state at the same time and in the
same pan as the bacon (I'll have to do that more often). The
jalapeno is sliced thin and placed on the burger and under the
cheese for the last minute of cooking. The sriracha must be mixed
with the mayo before spreading on the toasted bun.

Results:

Time to cook, assemble and clean up after this this "goremay $100.00
Burger" (the only kind Sam will eat [sic]): 11 minutes.

Cost of this $100.00 goremay Burger : $1.25.

Tastewise: You won't get anything this tasty from a drive thru.

My only regret is that I didn't make 2, or make it a double (which
would have only taken 1 minute longer).

Compare this to running out and grabbing a Quarter Pounder W/cheese
for $2.39 +tax and the choice is pretty clear.
