27 – The Cowkiller.

There’s a nice lil’ chicken chain around that does a tasty sandwich of fried chicken with two crucial pickles. They happen to have a tasty BBQ sauce to go with. You know the one. They’ve got those cows prancing about demanding you eat more chicken, albeit with a rather urban dialect.
Well, I’m eating one of those cows.
- Fried beef patty
- Two crucial pickles
- BBQ sauce
Piping hot and as tasty as the feathered variety. Moo! Moo!
26 – Polentaburg.

I wanted Italian today. Thing is, I also needed to do a burger. What happened? Polentaburger. Burgolenta. Polurgerenta. Crap names, good burger.
- Round of firm polenta
- Swiss cheese
- Marinara sauce
- Basil leaves
I invested a good amount of time on the stove for this one. First the polenta (40 minutes) followed by the marinara (20 minutes). Verdict? Worthwhile. Totally. Polenta’s a bit strange on a burger, I will admit. The consistency is not all that different from the bun it’s under. Now, depending how you make it, the flavor is amazing. The marinara seals the meal. The only regret I have is that I made only one.
It’s like getting your fresh tomato, onion, and lettuce, only… different. With a big block of corn. CORN. (I smell a future burger in the works, baby.)
25 – Crabs.

Some people might content themselves with a crab cake sandwich. That’s a wad of crab, rice, and spices wedged between some buns with a bit of gooey tartar sauce thrown in the mix.
Not me.
See what I did there? Possibly not, owing to the camera angle. I cut the crab cake in half… I cut that sucker in half and laid a beef patty inside!
- Crab cake
- Pepperjack cheese
- Tartar sauce
- Louisiana hot sauce
That’s right, crab-beef-cheese-crab. It’s a messy bit of eating, for sure, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. The only thing stopping me now is that I’m too full to move.
24 – Squak 'n Turf?

I took this one in as a suggestion from the peanut gallery. I’m told it’s made its way from the land where toilets flush backwards and your life is in peril should you dare to confuse Aussie and Kiwi.
- Swiss
- Fried egg
- Pineapple ring
Some kind of Squak ‘n Turf burger? You got me. I’m stumped. It’s a hearty breakfast, though. Pineapple and eggs, not bad, not bad at all.
