I’m thinking more regime-ish. But benevolent. Mostly.I feel compelled to point out that this thread is not a democracy. It is clearly a monarchy.
A sufficient quantity of bacon can overcome all these flaws.Now folks, this post was by no means a slight towards bacon in taste or quality, but it was more of a focus on the inconveniences of bacon burgers. Bacon is the undisputed champion of "Deluxe" burger toppings (2nd being jalapenos, trust me), but it is not perfect on burgers (gasp, hiss, heresy I know). Its one problem being proper distribution, whether it be bacon-less bites or the ever disappointing bacon worm. I'm fairly particular with how I eat my burgers. I prefer to have a nice consistency and spread of ingredients throughout the burger and typically ending with the final bite being the middle of the burger. I sent the original post because it appealed towards my pickiness towards consistency in an even burger. Yet here I with everyone bearing down on me for bringing new ideas to the table. Is it not part of American Fundamentals to be able to freely and openly discuss bacon dispersion on burgers without discrimination?
It was delicioushave yet to eat it, but I will report back with my findings.
Potentially redeeming posts.It was delicious
