The Good Morning Burger
As seen on: “The Simpsons”

“We take eighteen ounces of sizzling ground beef and soak it in rich creamery butter. Then we top it off with bacon, ham, and a fried egg. We call it the Good Morning Burger.”
What you’ll need: 18 ounces of beef, bacon, ham, butter, hamburger bun, eggs. Cooking instructions from the editor:
1. Eighteen ounces is a LOT of hamburger. Go with low heat and give it plenty of time. Oh, and cook it in bacon grease. Homer would want it that way.
2. Once the burger looks about halfway done, start cooking the bacon. THICK-CUT, bitches.
3. Fry the eggs in the grease from the bacon pan. Again, this is what Homer would want.
4. Put everything on the bun.
5. Eat. Feel manly.
It’s impossible to properly cook over a pound of cow and not have the inside gush blood like the elevator in The Shining without slightly burning the exterior. That’s where the butter came in handy; its juiciness made up for the burger’s crispiness. The egg and beef went together extremely well (those Texans are really on to something), and the bacon and ham topping made for a wonderful meat tornado. The slab of bovine and swine between the buns was gigantic, so the burger (which looked like the chemically-enhanced Mondo Burgers from Good Burger) was split in half, with Adam and Matt sharing one half and Nadia and I the other. It tasted great, and for the few minutes it took us to eat the thing, the only real words coming from our mouths were, “Oh man, that’s good.” Food porn at its best.
[Editor's note: I would have happily eaten the entire thing.]



Its disgusting
I ate it as quickly as I could, but still felt slightly nauseated for some time afterwords.
*afterward*
You guys should come out with a cook book or pamplet of some sort.
Thanks guys, for subjecting yourselves to this. Good lord I love these. Informative, entertaining, and now, with a woman’s touch!*
*seriously though, it was just a touch.
If you do drinks, you probably have to try that booze smoothie from Happy Endings (the one Zach Knighton invented the week after he was abandoned at the altar).
@Jen If I known I was breaking Warming Glow’s female cherry, I would’ve been far, far, far more explicit.
The guy in the plaid shirt was amazing in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
This is a load of rich creamery butter.
geeze-us how tall is the tall guy? or has matt been 5’2″ this entire time?
@Matt: I did not know that. Then again, I don’t watch or read a lot of Paula Deen recipes. I humbly withdraw my challenge.
From How I Met Your Mother Season 1 “Belly Full of Turkey” episode, the “thanks-tini”
Barney: It’s a thanks-tini, cranberry juice, potato vodka, and… a boullion cube.
@TF88: It’s not a challenge; it’s a well-established Paula Deen recipe that’s also served at Mulligan’s in Decatur, GA:

I have a challenge. The Luther Burger from The Boondocks.

If you’re doing drinks, please do a flaming Homer.
We didn’t do the Taco Town meal because it’s been done many times by other websites who I’m not about to give free publicity to. I’m sure it’s fantastic, though, and we’ll probably make it for fun.
I declare, @Danger, you are being mighty forward. Do go on.
I’m so happy to see the KCF Shredder I could cry.
First woman to write on WG and she gave us, “I shoved the eggs into my mouth as quickly as I could.” YAYAYAY! Proud : )
You guys should’ve done Bill’s Drink in the rainbow snakeskin shorts. They would’ve helped it go down smoother.
With a warning like DO NOT order the Skip’s Scramble, how can you not take that as a challenge from Arrested Development?
This is not a post to read when hungover.
if you’re going to do an SNL commercial, why not the Taco Town (i think it was) where the taco gets bigger and bigger and eventually is wrapped in a pizza. maybe for next time?

Any Arrested Development meal should involve a stew made by Carl Weathers
Fuck you Arby’s rules
I’d like to request a couple Simpsons’ classics:
1) lobsters stuffed with tacos
2) cloves, Tom Collins mix, frozen pie crust
I want that burger.
I was going to suggest the Cornballer, but that’s more of a machine than a food. Plus, I don’t want any of y’all to catch fire and/or die.
I’m assuming there will be a Flaming Moe–er, Homer during your drinks post? You could also do a 40 gallon malt liquor beer (but that might just be my alcoholism talking).
And seriously, the Taco Town needs to happen if you can get access to an actual kitchen in a restaurant.
Bass-o-matic anyone?
Well aren’t you a tall drink of water, Mr. Kurp. (*bats eyelashes*)
@Dennis
Actually, people have done that, I think it was back in 2006. It was funny to read, although they admitted it was a lot of work. And yes, they all got sick. I think it was posted on a myspace blog, so good luck finding it, it’s worth it.
You can thank American Pie and Big Daddy Drew for those reactions.
When I hear the name Nadia, I think of hot, foreign women. And when I hear the name Adam combined with “Next time, we’re doin’ drinks”, I think of Pacman Jones.
Any of this ring true?
/chuh chuh
When I saw “Arrested Development,” I immediately thought of hot ham water. I find it disappointing that you went with the mayonnegg.
/yes, I know it would give you salmonella
//you seriously should not try hot ham water.
Join us next week for Written by a Black Guy.
*waits patiently by phone for “the call”*
Keep going with the Simpsons theme by doing that unholy creation that Homer makes in the gambling episode. I think it was cloves, Tom Collins mix and a frozen pie crust.
Ah, thank you. For my next request, tell me where to find naked pictures of Nadia.
I’d like to see an attempt to make the taco from the Taco Town SNL commercial. Though you may truly die making that one.
Everyone knows you eat White Castle or Denny’s when drunk.
@Don: Read the first installment of TV Gourmet and you’ll be happy.
Thanks for dressin’ up for the occasion, Matt.
bs. the man-egg was hard boiled.
Make the Waffle/Chocolate/STick of butter thing Homer did and I’ll be happy. Also, Tomacco.
