Pimp my burger

[h0b0]

So when ground beef on it's own just isn't enough how do you improve a burger? Braised short ribs in the middle should do the trick. What if that's still not enough? Fois Gras inside that. Its like the burger equivalent of a turducken. Very good burger and meal from Maison Boulud just off Tienanmen Square. The locals have no idea it exists and it is hidden in a square with armed guards but it was bloody worth the hunt.

Sorry but that looks uncooked. Not rare but raw

That's the IPhone and its APP doing its worst. It was rare but not raw as it looks. The restaurant was diffiuclt to take photos in because of the light

I bloody love rare burgers - you've got to be pretty sure that the mince is fresh and of a good quality though.

Which in China might not necessarily be the case

Awesome find.

How much did that set you back?

Fine looking burger

The meat in a burger needs to be fatty not perfectly lean

And Stilton helps too

Mmmmmmmmmm

A bit too under cooked for me, but god it still looks yummy

$30/RMB188 a person for a 3 course meal. They kept coming out with amuse bouche on top of that. With drinks and water it was $150 but $30 of that was water!

Here's the place and if you are ever in town try it

We had some great food in China, and saw some not so great. (Turtle, Star fish, Sea horse and live crickets. Surprised at the popularity of dog)

Had his burgers in the London and New York. Both very good.

Too rare for me.

But the chips look

Mighty fine looking burger. But, as I'm a bit iffy - needs to be cooked a tad more for my liking

I have had that same burger at Boloud's DB Bistro Moderne, it wasn't bad at all.
