The other day I posted about the Rouge Burger and said that some may folks may feel that it stretches the very definition of the word hamburger. Today's Burger of the Day is a homegrown creation that shatters that definition. Mega Hamburger One comes to us from a crazed fellow named Marshall Astor. Apparently this badass burger is something he whipped up for hamburger night about five months ago. As he puts it, "things kind of got out of hand." Indeed they did.
Excluding bun and beef, Astor's burger has nine other ingredients. As you may be able to see from the photo, these include a fried egg, avocados and caramelized onions. What you may not be able to discern is the seared pineapple layer, just above the tomatoes. Chef Astor has been kind enough to provide witty and informative mouseover notes for each layer. He also lays out an attack plan for eating it. Squeeze it down to mouth size and hold on for dear life until it's all but gone, unless you want it all over the front of your shirt.
