That's way too fricking pretentious to be a burger. That's ground ribeye and a Greek salad on Chiabatta rolls. Not a burger.

You're way too pretentious to eat a real burger.

So, it's pretentious because it consists of kick arse ingredients that compliment each other, contains different textures rather than mush, and flavor combinations that work well together? Or is it because I drink a very moderately priced wine rather than Coors Light or Bud Light, or whatever the approved "regular guy" beer is at the moment?


What makes it pretentious?

The fact that I used ground ribeye? Aged prime might be, or Kobe Beef perhaps, but it's select, and even if it weren't, is it not more pretentious to put cuts of protein into do's and dont's rather than just seeking bad arse food combinations?

The heirloom tomato set if off, as well as the kick arse bleu cheese.

Would it have been better if I just used some white bread out the bag, a cheap tomato, and some Murican Cheese to make a mush burger because I might look like I'm trying too hard to eat seriously awesome food?



I really just don't understand some of you people and your reasoning. I don't.
