A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

The Burger and I

At the end of May I took my little sister to a new hamburger joint near my house called Meathead's.  We got some food and on our way out I saw a poster for this "Create A Burger" contest.  For spending a couple of minutes putting together the toppings of a hamburger you think other people might like to eat, some lucky winner would receive a $500 gift card and have their sandwich featured at the Chicago-land Meathead's locations.

Well, one of those lucky winners was me.

If you live near a Meathead's, do yourself a favor and go order up "The Seinfeld" and tell 'em rjmoeller.com sent you.

"The Seinfeld"

Two 100% Angus patties, cheddar cheese, grilled onions, bacon, fried egg, tomato, pickles & BBQ sauce on marble rye

Why the name "The Seinfeld" you ask?  Here's the description/rationale for my toppings choices that I submitted for the contest.

"My favorite show of all-time is obviously Seinfeld. The Marble Rye episode is the best that show ever put to air. So you gotta start with the Marble Rye as your base for this sandwich. Bacon and eggs go on it because Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer were always eating in Monk's diner (which primarily serves breakfast food). The Cheddar, Bacon, and Grilled Onions must be included because those are three of the most important food groups in the food pyramid (I think). So not only will you have a delicious tasting burger...you'll have a nutritious and hilarious one as well."

God bless fast food.
