Burger City!

My brother went to Japan and sent this T-shirt back as a gift.  Hot Rods, burgers, Japan, AMAZING!  I wonder if they have sushi burgers?  I've seen sushi pizza on menus, so why not a sushi burger! I suppose it'd be pretty hard to eat...

Neon Burger

I would've killed for one of these in my bedroom growing up. 

We took this photo when walking around in New York last year. I like that they didn't feel the need to make some perfect burger, but the real greasy, dripping cheese type that we all know and love. "Smile, it's the second best thing you can do with your lips" !!  (the first is eating burgers of course!)

Burger Wallets

While also in Chicago, we saw these burger wallets in an art store. Stuff that in your back pocket hey!

Steakhouse Burger at Ditka's in Chicago

We were in Chicago recently and stumbled into Ditka's after our early morning flight. Starved and weary, we were delighted to find their Steakhouse Burger, one of the best burgers we have ever had! I ate most of the fries before we took this picture because I was starving... and I don't like cold fries.

Listen, we will not be posting that many real food shots because this burger blog is really just for the love of burgers, and not food reviews. but this was a good burger. I mean, a REALLY good burger!!

Floor Burger

Speaking of Burger sculptures...
 If you live in Toronto, you may be interested to know that the Art Gallery of Ontario is undertaking the restoration of Claes Oldenburg's (yes, he has burger in his name, for real!) "Floor Burger".  Check out this link for all the juicy details.  http://artmatters.ca/wp/tag/floor-burger/
 Check out this link to see the controversy this burger swirled up back in 1967:

Burger in Sculpture

 Took this photo while walking around in New York.  The neon sign claims it is the best burger, and though we didn't get to try it, this double whammy sculpture sure caught our eye.  On our next trip we will be sure to swing by Paul's and giver a whirl.
 On a side note, this sculpture-sign was of particular interest because you don't often see two burgers skewered this way. It ignites the imagination...burger skewers, or maybe burger kabobs, or you can even pretend to be a giant while eating mini sliders on a stick. Anyway, here it is.
