The Complex Tale of the Burger

Amstel_500x300_burger.jpg
A simple slice of pizza can be fine. A basic pasta dish can be great. But when it comes to a man's burger, that's a whole other meatball. Because you want that thing to tell a story. You want it to have chapters of flavor. You want it's description on the menu to read like a bibliography — citing sources for each delectable ingredient. You don't just want to taste the beef. You want to know what kind of parents it had. Was it grass fed or corn fed? Was it free range or feed lot? What kind of hobbies did the cow enjoy? Every detail makes every bite that much more drippingly delicious. The burger is Earth's truest example of a single entity being greater than the sum of its parts. Because with an unbelievable burger, it's not about simplicity. It's all about complexity.
