An Important Life Skill - How To Make A Works Burger

Today (26th of January) is Australia Day. As this is the case I think it important that the knowledge of building a Works Burger is shared. This delicacy should not be only be available for those from the Antipodes. So here is the 12 step process to build your Works Burger. If you feel that this sounds like too much to attempt, rest assured that the effort required, results in sheer joy and immense satisfaction at having climbed such a behemoth! (For proof of this look at the sheer joy in the last photos of this post!)

Step 1. Get a bun. Preferably very large.

Step 2. Add Tomato, Mayonnaise or BBQ sauce. This one is your choice. It's freestyle

Step 3. Add the burger, with melted cheese and bacon. Some call this step 3, 4 and 5. However for recipe simplicity and to remove the sheer terror of the recipe I combine into one step.

Step 4. Add a slice of pineapple. The order is important here, as will become apparent in the next step.

Step 5. Add a runny fried egg. So you can see here why order is important. If the egg breaks, the pineapple ring provides a well for the yolk to collect in, as opposed to squirting out the back of the bun on first bite.

Step 6. Add fried onions

Step 7: Add fried mushroom

Step 8: Add salad leaf. This is an incredibly important step. It's important to eat your greens.

Step 9: Add beetroot. Order again is important. Beetroot should be last in this process, as will be explained in step 10.

Step 10. Add the top of the bun. So the beetroot order is important, as by adding it last, the beetroot juice that squeezes out, is soaked up by the top half of the bun. Again it doesn't squirt all over the shop when you take your first bite

Step 11. Celebrate the behemoth that you have created. Look at the sheer joy on that face! However this is the daunting thing. At this stage you have actually only climbed half the mountain! The second part of the climb is actually consuming the beast!

 

Step 12. Eat 

Some suggest there is a step 13, although amongst connoisseurs this is often debated. However if you have managed to make it though step 1 to 12, then quite often a step 13 is required, which is sit still for a long period of time. This is sometimes required as it is difficult to breath, or indeed be active in any way, shape or form, post consumption.

So now you know how. Now you know why - again look at the joy it brings. Now go ahead and create. You will no be disappointed!

Cheers
