That burger sounds awesome. Wish I had one. :(

I got dinner with my wife and some friends last night at one of metro Detroit's older restaurants, Peking House.  I had a dish that is common to the Detroit-Windsor area, but almost unheard of anywhere else; Almond Boneless Chicken (ABC on many menus; Wai Shu Gai on ones that try to pass it off as authentic Chinese.)  It's an Americanized Chinese Dish, that's deep fried chicken served on a bed of iceberg lettuce and served with a spicy gravy and almonds:

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Last night I made swordfish with a puttanesca sauce.  My wife asked me what "Puttanesca" meant.  That led to an interesting dinner conversation.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

It isn't authentic unless made by a whore.

Had a burger with chili beans, jalapenos, grilled bacon, onion, tomatoes, lettuce and extra cheddar. Also, home fries and a chili beef wrap. And Mountain Dew.

Nah, just trying various burger places. The problem is to find a decent one in Vienna. One of your best bets would be Burger King, actually, especially when it comes to price vs. quality.

The one I order the above from was actually pretty good (you had to put the burger into the microwave for a minute to re-heat it, though) - I've had some horrible burgers here; either everything soggy and mushed, or so dry you could use it as blotting paper. A chili burger where the "cili" was a small dollop of tabasco hidden in the middle. Etc.

One of the best "burgers" was the "Crispy Queenslander" at an Australian place which put a chicken filet (deep fried in beer batter) on the bun with a slice of pineapple. Unfortunately, that tasty morsel has been discontinued. :(

We've had a few restaurants pop up with "gourmet burgers" on the menu. $25 for a burger. Good, but not worth it. The best burger is homemade, but yeah, that can't compete in price with the chains.
