The Perfect Burger

This is a topic I broached by accident, really. After a long motorcycle ride, I stopped at McDonald's, which I usually don't, and, on a whim, ordered a Big Mac, which I almost never do. Instead of the small, somewhat flat burger usually comes out of the cardboard box off the grill, this one looked like something out of an ad. It looked perfect. And that brought up the question, what is the perfect burger? The most outrageous burger I'd ever seen was on a television series called Supernatural. One of it's lead characters, Dean Winchester, is a cheeseburger fanatic. So in one episode he presents his brother Sam with a burger he calls "The Elvis." It has glazed donuts for buns. I thought this had to be a joke. But on Halloween, my friend Rose and I went to a Halloween Party at a place called the Teak Neighborhood Grill. On their menu was "The Glazed Donut Burger." I knew I had to try one. And so this episode began to jell. So take a look. But be warned...the calories might just fly off the screen!
