The Best Website Ever

I believe I have stumbled upon the best website ever!! It was 4:52 a.m. yesterday morning. I was up early fighting my jet lag, messing around on the net, which is probably the only reason I found this site. The site is called Cheese and Burger Society. Working for the Metropolitan Club restaurants for the past 3 years, I learned a thing or two about making a good burger. However, once I starting reading about these burgers, I felt like a novice again.

The website is set up like a Rolodex allowing you to flip through all 30 burgers.

Each page then has three different tabs that you can click on to learn more about the burger, it's construction, and the type of cheese used. The website also celebrates what Wisconsin does best, after the Packers of course, and that is cheese. Every cheese on the site is made in Wisconsin under the tab "Meet the Cheese." It gives you a funny little story about it, some knowledge on it's origin and flavor, and what beverage it would be paired best with.

The construction of the burgers is beautiful with ingredients that would knock anybody away. I am only going to show you a few, just to peak your interest. The above is The Firehouse; Wisconsin Havarti and Provolone, capicola, pickled jalapenos, pepperoncini, ketchup, mayo and dill all on a nice crunchy Italian roll.

The Couch Potato. Wisconsin Blue, thick cut potato chips, smoked pepper pork, sauteed onions, and garlic mayo all on a buttered bun. Not for the faint of heart!
The Sheboygan. Wisconsin Cheese Curds, split bratwurst, sauteed onions,
beer mustard, and sauerkraut all on a kaiser roll.

After cycling through all 30 burgers, you are then rewarded with an additional 10 that are named after cities in the US. Above is The Atlanta; Wisconsin Aged Cheddar and Havarti, thick peppered bacon, pickled jalapenos and fried mac and cheese on a hamburger bun. Yes, that's right, fried mac and cheese!!

Now I've saved the best bit of news for last. The entire site is narrated by...drum roll please... Patrick Warburton!!! If you don't know who he is, allow me to educate you. Patrick Warburton is one of the most famous voice actors out there along with starring in TV shows and movies. He is most famous for doing the voice of Joe on Family Guy which is in it's 10 season and as the awesome Brock Samson on the adult cartoon(and in my opinion the best damn cartoon ever made!) The Venture Brothers which just finished it's 4th season. His voice is the perfect touch to the site giving each description a familiar voice and a comedic touch! When you have yourself a half and hour to spare, sit down and enjoy these beautifully made burgers narrated by "the manliest man alive!"

    Safely, so far the Atlanta burger is my favorite until I visit the website and see them all.
