I suppose I’m constantly in competition with myself.

I am constantly striving to one-up my meals, creating something bigger, better, and more magnificent.

And when it comes to burgers, I’m eternally seeking a way to create truly, the best burger ever.

I feel like I’ve got it down, in many cases.
But it’s really the look on my husband’s face when he sinks his teeth into the the meaty mound that indicates whether I’ve succeeded or not.

Hmmm….what do you think this time around?
