Were I independently wealthy and the possessor of an iron stomach, I would travel the country in a van or bus--you know, a tour bus, like the kind Smashmouth must've had in the 90's--and travel to various American eateries, scarfing eccentric and exciting burger and forcing them to battle one another in merciless competition on my blog. I hate that most of the hamburger sandwiches in our burger smackdown will only be experienced through pictures and downloaded menu descriptions, but, alas, I am not rich and I do not have access to a tour bus or even a van, for that matter. Perhaps someday, when my daughter is a little older and the wife and I finally decide that a healthier lifesytle is merely a pipe dream, I'll take a that burger road trip. Until that day however, I'm content to simply look and slobber. And, boy, does today's contender have me slobberin'. For real. It's sick. Meet the Brat and Bacon Pretzel Burger from The Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co. in beautiful Madison, WI. I'll let them give you all the sensual details:A one-third pound U.S.D.A. choice ground beef patty and a one-quarter
pound bratwurst patty grilled with caramelized onions and topped with
Applewood smoked bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, lettuce, pickles and tomato.
Served on a pretzel roll with a side of Peck’s Pilsner mustard.
A bratwurst patty ON TOP OF a ground beef patty? Carmalized onions? Crispy bacon and sharp cheddar from the state where godly cheeses go when they die? An effing pretzel roll??? If there is a heaven, this is what it looks, smells, and tastes like.
