In a review last week of a particularly notably delivery-only burger, I briefly noted how the proliferation of such burgers was one of the primary obstacles to a more speedy resolution of the Budapest Burgerwar™. But the problem isn’t just the sheer number of “virtual” burgers being cooked up in kitchens hidden around the city. It’s the question of how to rate a burger if you can’t tell what kind of meat it’s made from – or even that what you think is meat really is. Without naming names, I’ll just say that over the last several months I’ve had the dubious pleasure of eating numerous burgers featuring patties made from what many Hungarians artfully call gyíkhús. While it literally means “lizard meat,” the term is used to describe any meat that you can’t confidently connect with any specific animal.
This being Hungary, where pigs outnumber lizards by at least 100 to one, most Hungarian “lizard” meat is probably pork, with a little of whatever else is lying around thrown in for good measure. And since the average piece of Hungarian pork is usually about 100 times better than the average piece of Hungarian beef, the result is often pretty tasty, in a, well, lizardy sort of way.
But the bottom line is that it’s a waste of everyone’s time, and the increasingly limited room in our stomachs, to try to rate every last thing in Budapest called a “burger.” So while we might make a special prize for “best burger made from a meat known only to the cook,” from now on, we’re going to focus on the mystery of what the best burger in Budapest is, rather than the riddle of what some of these “burgers” are actually made of.
Either you have HUGE thumbs, or those are TINY puffancsok.
Actually, this is something I’ve noticed about all these burger shots – the things always look bizarrely small, no matter how big they are. But in these cases, I’d say they actually were pretty small, and my thumbs, for the record, are only slightly larger than normal.
So when are you going to finish this burgerwar thing of yours? Stop searching already. Even Friday’s doesn’t cut the muster (mustard?). The best you can get is always going to be Burger King’s Western Whopper cheeseburger, but you have to order onion rings on the side and then shove them in there. Still, it’s nothing close to an In-N-Out Burger Double-Double. Gresham actually does make pretty tasty burger, but it’s so damn expensive.
Where would the fun in that be? And you are right about the In and Out Burger, west coast-wise. BK on the other hand…
OK, fine. Chew should have it’s fun. Afterall, they all are such hard workers.
But I would really like some insight to a good burger, if one can be found. And maybe less of the csalamade ones. Maybe bring back City Grill?
Oh yeah, I forgot… I think the real problem lies in the lack of quality beef. Used to be a day when you could get very lean quality ground beef (and steaks, roasts, etc.). All the good stuff is apparently now exported and the crap remains. I don’t bother buying beef anymore, I’m always disappointed. OK, sometimes, just when I want to make chewy tacos. But I really couldn’t dream of grinding up prime steaks for burgers (although Gresham can).
