Lettuce and Tomato are the only condiments, after all, I didn't want to over-do it! Hamburgers are American, I am American, therefore a vote for me is a vote for America! (Not above stealiing another's line...) You can pick the money shot Chris...

Do you find that it's better to call 911 before you start eating that burger?

Or can the Paramedics get there fast enough if you call 911 after you
eat that thing?

It does look most excellent though..

Um...Bo? You sure about lettin' Chris pick the photo? He's really good at selecting future members of the Zero club that way. Just Sayin.

N8man · 04-22-2010, 03:06 PM

My co-workers and myself have been staring in
total awe at your Burger, Bo.

Salivation Mod To The Extreme....

Alan in Ga · 04-22-2010, 03:18 PM

That burger looks awesome and I bet it taste that way too.

Hey, when I lose I have someone other than me to blame... Besides, I've never won one of these throwdowns, so I might as well shoot for the Zero Club...

bigabyte · 04-22-2010, 03:40 PM

You know what's weird?

I pick my photos from my entries every time, yet I can't seem to get any more zeros!

I don't win either. The magic only seems to happen when picking other people's entries.

I must admit however, that in the Burger Throwdown, one of the leaders did not specify what photo to use...so I picked for them!

landarc · 04-22-2010, 11:20 PM

I do have to say again, that burger is a thing of beauty Bo.

southernsmoker · 04-23-2010, 06:07 AM

Note: this is not a recent pic, so not sure if it's eligible, but thought I'd post it anyway.

deguerre · 04-23-2010, 07:47 AM

Heeeeeeere piggy piggy piggy!
Beautiful arrangement!

bigabyte · 04-23-2010, 07:54 AM

That looks great Southern Smoker!

Gore · 04-23-2010, 08:48 AM

I know I'm a little late, but Bo, that is absolutely beautiful! I love the bun. That is a work of art. Again, if I didn't see it next to that Mountain Dew can, I'd think it was bite-size though

-- as for the pics, in my opinion, burger pics tend to look better uncut and unbitten. The inside of a burger is not a pretty thing, but in your case, that open pic has a lot going for it, especially that smoke ring!

Gore · 04-23-2010, 09:18 AM

Well, so far my short list = my long list. Every single entry is a thing of beauty!

BigButz, that is a lovely MOINK. It reminds me of a grilled onion and I love grilled onions!

N8man, beautiful smoke. The cats and puppies look much better when they're turned into sausages and burgers.

John, that face is something Master would be proud of!

Ron, Chris, those steaks are among the most mouthwatering I've ever seen. Chris I only wish that were a real squirrel!

Big T, your pic speaks to me. I so want to make some enchiladas right now.

Wyobulldog, a beautiful pig on a beautiful smoker, love that chimney!

Bo, I'm still really impressed with the bun!

Southern Smoker, that is a thing of beauty! That calls for a shot of Screech to celebrate! -- Sure beats the cod tongues and cheeks I dined on when I was in St. John's. Left me wondering where exactly a "Northern Smoker" would be calling home?

Just one question for you all:

Were you able to finish it all in one sitting?

southernsmoker · 04-23-2010, 09:31 AM

Thanks guys, hope it's worthy of a Brethren Throwdown.

Gore, I am impressed..did ya get to George Street while in St John's.. Cod Tongue's now I'm hungry...next seafood throwdown I'll do up a batch..

Wow all those entries look fantastic...

How could anyone go to Newfoundland and miss George Street? Most bars and pubs per square foot on the continent, or at least it was advertised when I was there. That pig is definitely throwdown worthy -- only wish you had a bigger pic and more of them! You're more than welcome to submit cod tongues and cheeks to a seafood throwdown. I'll definitely give you points for uniqueness, but in my opinion, those things are still not eatable -- I didn't have them smoked though. I'd much rather enjoy a moose throwdown.

BTW, I still have a bottle of Screech -- I plan on opening it up and toasting you if you win. Despite its reputation from most other Canadians I talked with, I find the stuff very good! Maybe you can marinade the cheeks in Screech before the smoke.
