MY Hamburger Friday

Hamburger Friday is an homage to Alison Cook, the Chronicle's dining reviewer who has begun covering a different hamburger each Friday. Cook's Tour

Briskets are .97 lb this week so I'm trying sirloin to see if there's a difference in the taste worth tossing so much fat from the packer cut briskets. Sirloin tip roast is 2.77; ground sirloin is 2.99 so this better be better.

This one already looks better and no fat to toss.


This is my standard tartar sauce but I guess I could call it remoulade: mayo, sriracha, sweet pickle relish, capers.

Onions are for my Dad, Rusty. Lettuce is live Romaine, arugula, and endive. Tomatoes are surprisingly good grocery store stock. Belgian fries look scary... but Asta loved 'em.

Mmmmmm. Not going back to packer cut brisket but will see if I can get a better deal on sirloin tip at Costco.
