That is a tasty burger

After a tough day I crave more rich foods. Hamburger is a winner for the meal after a Pedal Co-op day after a snow storm.

I had a few brioche slider buns left after a Blanchet event (it was O3worlds holiday party...pictures soon to come!) and some ground beef. Roasted zucchini over rough-chopped hazelnuts(this keeps them up and allows moisture to escape through bottom. It's what you'd not call a nut rack.

Made one long patty, and split it in two for the sake of "more toasted brioche please" . Spread with olive oil mayo and had pickled red onions on the side.

Most who know what there talking about would say a burger should drip down your hands and elbows. I agree, that is part of a delicious experience... however, this burger was a med-rare with a strong sear... it was formed wider/flatter than the soft balls you see at pubs, and it was sooo good but it wasn't a sloppy mess. The lesson here is how much good bread is important to a good sandwich. A big thanks to Modi! (Georges' in Wayne) The toasted brioche was not overwhelmed with beefy runoff, it was still toasty and structurally sound. If you have mediocre bread, then yes, enjoy the improved and resulting burger pudding with which your fingers will sink into. But... with really good bread... don't. As you can see, my burger was juicy enough to drip just a bit. Just right.
