Best and Worst Burger

One of the worst cheeseburgers I ever ate was onboard a United Airlines flight to San Francisco when it made me sick. For awhile in 2001 that became the standard lunch offering on first class transcontinental flights. Occasionally it was edible, but flight attendants had a hard time preparing it and more often than not the bun was served rock hard. It was supposed to be a 'gourmet' burger but it just wasn't.

I've long grilled my own burgers with a pat of butter inside the patty. It keeps the burger moist and juicy even if I overcook the meat. But Tyler Cowen offers an idea that I hadn't thought of myself: stuff it with blue cheese as well. Yum!

As for me, I'd add some mushrooms and grilled onions and that might be the perfect burger. Simple and delicious, preferable even to this burger rendition.
