Feeling peckish? Meet the 13 stone record-breaking biggest burger"This vast, terrifying meat pile is officially the world's biggest burger, as certified by the Guinness Book of World Records - weighing in at more than 13st."
A Month of SandwichesWanna tackle National Sandwich Month next year? Here's a cheat sheet:
"Man cannot live on bread alone. Well, maybe he can if it's topped with tasty combos of meats, veggies, cheese and condiments. We've got tempting suggestions for every day of the month."
1) Arrange your cheese on bread (1 cheese per side!)
2) Melt your cheese on bread (60 seconds)
3) Align your meat (2 piles!)
4) Heat your meat (30 seconds)
5) Flip your meat and heat it again (15 seconds)
6) Deposit your meat on the bread
7) Heat your french fries (cooking time varies)
8) Heat your (pre-cooked) bacon (10 seconds)
9) Delegate your bacon and french fries to opposide sides
10) Pour gravy on each side
11) Finish assembly and enjoy!
Go see. Then let me know.

Day 31 | Ending on a semi-healthy note after a month of heavy sandwich goodness. This is a turkey, spinach and brie panini from Schlafly Bottleworks. Very good, and enjoyed with a hard cider on a nice 70ºF August day in St. Louis.
Well, that's that for this year. The end. Thanks for following along. Blog posts will resume after a little recovery time. Posted @ 10:54 PM Central Time
Day 30 | A Bosnian cevapi at the Festival of Nations in Tower Grove Park. I love this bread.
Also called the International Festival, every year vendors from countries all over the world gather to sell great food and we always check it out. Posted @ 3:24 PM Central Time
Day 28 | This was one helluva good lamb shank sandwich by Diane: Roasted onions & peppers, mint yogurt sauce, toasty bread -- with roasted rosemary potatoes on the side.
Even better, I ate it while watching "Airplane!" Posted @ 10:24 PM Central Time
Day 27 | A fresh caprese for dinner, with prosciutto and a lobster cake. Enjoyed while watching Mythbusters with the kids. Posted @ 7:53 PM Central Time
Day 24 | A superb Coney from Fitz's. This one was especially enjoyable because the bun was toasted and you could pick it up to eat it! Chowed on with a Fitz's root beer. Posted @ 2:48 PM Central Time
Day 23 | Went on a hike with the kids and the dog and Diane packed us some chicken salad sandwiches. They were enjoyed atop a bluff in Emmenegger Nature Park, very near the Meramac RIver. Posted @ 9:38 PM Central Time
Day 22 | Dave Gray recommended this standout burger from Liluma. We had a nice grown-ups night out with some great Pinot Noir.
This burger was spectacular -- it's made with a slaw that really makes it stand out. (Maybe I should've used the flash, huh?) Posted @ 11:48 PM Central Time
