Hamburger, blue cheese, heirloom tomato


This hamburger has blu cheese in it and I like that idea spurred by the recent steak with blu cheese on it surprising me with its combined excellence. How is it that this combination is coming to me so late? It will be blu cheese with steak for now on. This Angus hamburger indulgently has blu cheese in it. 

But not enough.

Not enough indulgence.

They always do that too. Come on! If you get, say, sausage with jalapeƱo or chipotle in it you can bet with assurance you will not be able to taste it. Because they've already experienced pansies complaining and know even a little is too much for some so it's lowest common denominator all the way every time, so just forget it.  I've been disappointed on that score a hundred times. Here too. Not enough. Better to buy it separately and slap it on yourself, or if you want it in there then make it yourself. 


Tomato, oh my. 

Pro Hint: In most large grocery stores I've seen these ugly tomatoes separated to the side when they have them, forlorn and lonely like orphans due to their unsightliness, their cooties exiled, Cinderellas, oftentimes going soft just sitting there so long ignored. Go straight to those and buy all of them no matter the shape or the color. Except the squishy ones. You'll be amazed. And thereafter regard all those other perfect tomatoes as...

...such vapid little snowflakes. 

These ugly tomatoes are like saki, and vermouth, Marsala and Madera in that they all make things they touch better, deeper, more interesting.
