baja burgers

met then owner of baja burgers at a bar last night



the man is a visionary - he's franchising throughout Mexico

". . . so after years of extensive research we believe we have found the way to make the perfect burger. Starting with the lightly toasted bottom bun we add a layer of mustard for the fresh grilled patty to rest upon. Next we lay a nice thick slab of cheddar cheese followed by a layer of red onions(which caramelizes),then we put down a layer of dill pickle chips(which forms a barrier) for the fresh slices of tomatoes and iceburg lettuce. Finishing up with a generous layer of mayo and topped with lightly toasted buttery top bun. When eaten properly will result in an explosion of tangy, hot, beefy, cheesey, crispy, taste bud rejoicing experience in every bite."

mr. burger took a shine to me as he had been a severe motorcycle accident back in '94 - he bought me a dram of herbal liqueur as a sign of solidarity



besides his desire to touch my leg and some rantings about citizenship & and the illegality of the irs's 1040 form he was a great guy

he gave us the run down on how to make the perfect french fry:

1) soak fresh cut fries in saline solution for 6 hrs
2) fry for 3 minutes in oil
3) remove and refrigerate overnight
4) fry for an additional 3 minutes
