Burgers (for lack of orginal title)

Today we decided to grill out.
My dad is a chef. My mom is a mom with good taste.
We like burgers.
I've had buffalo burgers, sea food burgers, even (dry) turkey burgers.
Nothing compares to the awesomeness that is the Greek burger.

After eating a Greek burger, I realized hey, maybe a burger with flavor actually tastes better! It's a shocking revelation, really. To be honest, the only reason I like Big Macs is because of the thousand island sauce... Otherwise I'd pass on the grease filled burger for something else. Like McDonalds fries. It's a better way to spend my calories, anyway. How could anyone refuse a delicious burger mixed in with sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, olives, and oregano? It even has an effin' crispy crust. And to think my favorite burger came from like... Wendy's?

The simple difference between a good burger and a bad burger (in my humble opinion) is flavoring and cooking style. My uncle prefers to marinate his burgers and smoke them to a juicy goodness, but my dad takes the grill approach. Both are unsurprisingly amazing. I can only hope to reach their level of culinary expertise by the time I get to their age. They haven't doubted me yet.

All sarcasm and oogling aside, it’s incredible what one ingredient can do to a burger. Add oregano to a plain cheeseburger and the taste alters completely. Marinate a burger in a soy/teriyaki sauce mixture with sesame seeds and you get an Asian-inspired burger. Switch up the meats completely and you got a whole new playing field ahead of you. And to the kids who like grease burgers better than real quality food: get some taste buds.
