The Foie et Burger Oignon: A Gastronomical Assault of Epic Epicness
My beloved internet admirers, it’s been a while since I graced you with a post. I have ignored you like one ignores the ugly girl in the corner of the bar. Well guess what? I’ve got my beer goggles on and I am talking to you now.
To be honest, I have a ton of grad school prep that consumes me like a raging, rabid staph infection on infection steroids, eating away at my soul. As a result the last few months have been rather uninspiring, but yesterday, my dearest readers that all changed. Yesterday, I dreamed of a most wonderful concoction of artery poisoning, greatness. A gastronomical assault of epic epicness. A burger so chocked full of awesomeness it can only be consumed once in a lifetime.
I give thee, the Foie et Burger Oignon. What is it you ask? Well it’s not your grandmama’s liver and onions, that’s for damn sure. I am talking locally raised, grass fed, dry aged, Angus beef, topped with fried duck pate, thick cut Black Forest bacon, aged Gouda, and last but not least, an onion ring all served on a garlicky, toasty, type focaccia roll. This is quite possibly the greatest burger I have ever created. This is quite possibly the greatest burger known to man. The flavors danced harmoniously around the palate like Baryshnikov on Usher juice. It was perfect! The pate, the onions, the bacon, all working together. Oh god, I’m hungry.
Perhaps this I what I needed to get back on the horse, perhaps this is a awake up call informing me my talents will be wasted in the mundane 9-5 world of cubicles and water coolers. We shall see.

As many of you know I love bacon. I love bacon wrapped scallops, filet mignon, bacon flavored coffee, etc so you can only imagine my delight when I was over on Etsy looking for scarves to help protect me from the brutal New England winters and dsicovered this amazing ensemble by worthy soy candles. What can be better than a bacon scarf? Absolutely nothing!
Oh and if you are looking for another way to incorporate the all mighty breakfast meat into your daily dining experience check out this video on how to make bacon ice cream. Yup, you heard me BACON ICE CREAM!
If I were in charge of awarding the Nobel Peace Prize, you can bet your ass that the amazing folks over at Boca Java would be getting one. Why? Drum roll please, ‘Maple Bacon Morning Coffee’. Maple. Bacon. Morning. Coffee. It’s coffee and it’s bacon. Does life get any better? Now if only we could get me some caffeinated donuts.
