Beef prosperity burger is uniquely East and South-east Asian. You'll find this burger in countries throughout the region for a limited time around chinese new year. I suspect McDonald's will bring it back next year around the same time.
Yesterday after checking out the gorgeous Flower Festival in the Meatpacking District, we visited Hector’s Cafe & Diner on Little West 12th Street tucked directly underneath the High Line. This old-school diner has been in business since 1949 & still serves hamburgers 🍔made with beef from Weichsel Beef Conpany, one of the last Meatpacking holdouts in the neighborhood. We wanted to help support this old-school spot and ordered two delicious Jumbo Beefburger Deluxes with fries 🍔 ( swipe left for 2nd photo).
The diner was once open 24 hours a day, serving in the early early morning not only the butchers working in the area but club goers and tourists staying at the nearby Standard High Line Hotel (swipe left for 3rd photo of interior of diner).

Henry Cooper sadly passed away today. This shot was taken 10 February 1971 on the set of a Courage Ale advert.
This is the first image that I have shared from what I believe could be quite a significant 'find' - 70,000 negatives (yes, boxes upon boxes!) that I bought at auction, all taken on the film sets of commercial TV adverts shot during the 1960s and 1970s.
In all there are original, very high quality negatives in both 35mm and medium format from the sets of over 400 adverts.
Other products include Hamlet Cigars, Bird's Eye Beefburgers, Playtex, Egg Marketing Board, Rowntrees and Heineken (in fact just about any famous beer you can think of!)
Other celebrities include Morecambe and Wise, James Hunt, Felicity Keith, Roy Kinear, David Frost and Jimmy Young.
And they come from the 'golden age' of TV advertising from famous ad companies such as Collett Dickenson Pearce and JAmes Garratt, and directors such as Alan Parker, Ridley Scott and Terence Donovan.
Our BB King burger is so huge and juicy that we named in after the music legend BB King himself! 200g of beef, juicy beetroot, sweet pickles and ripe tomatoes with a side of chips.

Crispy Bacon & Cheese Beef Burger AUD10.90, Chips with Herb Salt AUD3 - Grill'd
Good beefy burger made very juicy with all the vegetables. Fantastic chips that were well browned and crunchy, and the herbed salt was full of herbs, including rosemary, thyme , and sage.

It was a nice day for a stroll, so we headed to St Kilda to do a spot of people watching, and grab a simple dinner.

Praise the Lord for a chance to visit HK again after 5 years, even if it was just for 3 days. :)
I have been a fan of Tornado Tacos for a while. Not too long ago, I saw there was a Tornado Burger just down the street from Tornado Tacos. Both of these are in my neck of the woods. Er, Houston. The sign out front said "World's Hottest Burgers". That's quite a statement, given that Lankford Grocery, just 10 miles away, had a burger almost too spicy for Guy Fieri to eat on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Clearly, this place was challenging me to stop by.
The stars aligned today for me to have a Tornado Burger. I walked up to the cash register and the fellah took my order. Almost. What really happened is that I asked him if they had a signature dish. Instantly he said it was the "Spicy #1": that’s a spicy burger with double meat, double cheese, fries, and a drink. Sounded good to me, so that's what I got.
As I walked away, the cashier asked if I was OK with spicy food. Some people got the burger, he said, without realizing that they were serious about it being spicy. He didn't want me mad at him. I assured him that I enjoyed spicy food.
I had time get my drink and sit down to web surf on my phone for a while. I was entertained by the general giggling that occurred when "number sixty-nine" was announced. Soon enough, they called "number eighty", and that was mine.
Let's take a moment to review their system/claims.
"Ordering is simple"—choose from a beefburger, a chickenburger, a porkburger, or a gyroburger. Then decide if you want them regular or hot & spicy.
Hot & Spicy burgers are made with garlic, onions, jalapenos & spices ground into the meat. (25 cents)
All their meats are homemade. No burger touches the grill until you place your order.
Their buns are baked and delivered fresh by a great independent small bakery… they don't fall apart.
So, does the burger match up with their statements? Again, I got their standard #1 Spicy, which had two patties, two slices of cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions.
The verdict: damn good.
There is no way that these are the hottest burgers in the world. I can't get served at Lankford Grocery, but Guy broke into a sweat. This Tornado burger was just a delight.
The spiciness is just right to be balanced by the salad and condiments. The lettuce and mayo was refreshing, the cheese was oozy, the onions added a crunch, the tomato added nothing zilch as usual. All the ingredients tasted very fresh and were appealing.
The toasted bun did perform as advertised. The burger wasn't overly sloppy, but it was moist. The veggies had that just-washed wateryness, and the stack was tall, so the bun had its work cut out for it. It held up to the rigors while imparting a delicious sweetness.
The burger itself gets an A, on the cusp of an A+.
The freshly-cut fries were of the skinny shoestring variety. Mine were hot and fresh and nicely seasoned. I'm not a fan of really skinny fries, preferring a thicker double-cooked fry. Even so, these were very good and few crumbs remained of them after the meal.
My meal was great. Heck, even the fountain soda was mixed properly.
I give the meal a solid A.
I feel blessed that I live only 5 minutes from it. Five Guys is about as far, and this place will get my business.
In the course of trying to find a link to the Tornado Burger website (none found), I came across an old review from the Houston Food Editor, who now has a regular Burger Friday column. If anything, her review is even more upbeat.
I also saw some comments about this being like an In & Out Burger. I've never been to one… does this place sound similar?
They called it the Great Nerf War of 2012. In future times people will tell tales of the brutality, the bravery and the sacrifice.
We challenged them to a nerf gun battle... the stakes were high... we knew we would be outnumbered as they have more kids than we do.
When they had arrived at our house we left the door ajar with a sign saying "come in but make sure you are armed".
We were dressed in combat gear, helmets, cam cream and got tooled up with the best weapons that Nerf can offer. I considered gaffa taping a videocamera to my helmet to capture some of the action but realised that I was taking this way too seriously for a 48 year old man.
Surprise was our advantage and we knew what we had to do, although in our hearts we knew that not all of us would be the same again - those nerf bullets can sting if you get one in a fleshy part of your body.
We had hidden in various rooms with the idea of drawing them in to a trap, and by flanking them we would surely triumph; but as history recalls, not all battles go according to plan.
We waited until they had all entered the 'kill zone' and then unleashed hell.
My son dropped into position with his tripod mounted, belt fed nerf machine gun. He laid down brutal tracer fire whilst my daughter fired from the hip from her bedroom, Mrs Rhino provided cover from the kitchen while she was basting the roast potatoes, and I picked them off one by one from the flank position of the bathroom ...... it was carnage but they fought back with incredible courage and tenacity.
Casualties were high, prisoners were taken .... and then we had some drinks and a spot of lunch. A very civilised afternoon with great friends.
We are worried now that they are planning revenge - the stakes are rising.
When I have grandchildren and they say to me "Grandad, were you in the Great Nerf War of 2012?" I can hold my head high and say I was there.
I'm not so keen on eating beef but nowadays I have to have a portion every week to keep iron levels in check. Apart from that I'm back to photographing basics like the good old days. I got to eat the prop at the end of the photoshoot :-)
Home prepared with lean beef so it's not totally junky :-)
Muddy Boots has won a contract to supply membership wholesaler Costco with a bespoke BBQ pack of its burgers. The box contains eight Muddy Boots’ Caramelised Onion and Mozzarella flavoured beef burgers.
This was a picture from/copyright
www.savejapandolphins.org/pressportal.php but I replaced it with my only picture of a (sacred) cow.
I am strongly opposed to the opposition to Japanese dolphin hunting.
I think that dolphins are more intelligent than cows and pigs, and am sad about their slaughter.
However,
1) I think that cows and pigs are intelligent,
2) I do not think that intelligence is an acid test of what should be killed. Sensitivity to suffering might be equally valid. I think that cows are very sensitive to their suffering.
3) I think that cows and pigs have a far, far, far worse life in and bred for, captivity, especially when boxed all their lives.
I think that slaughtering dolphins in coves appears appaling, because
1) It is
2) One can view it .
Essentially, hunting takes place in the place that the animals live, so it is viewable. Abbattoir slaughter takes place in closed environments controlled by the meat eaters.
The gruesome scenes from "The Cove" are unlike the scenes in abattoirs in many ways. But I believe that equally gruesome things are going on in abbatoirs, especially after having visited one, at a vastly greater scale.
3) There is a contrast between the freedom of the animals and their death.
If an animal has been bred for food, and especially has lived all its life in a cage, the the horror of its demise may appear deminished. However this lack of contrast hides the true horror, that of living ones life in a box bound for slaughter. Battery farming of cattle, pigs and chickens is, in my view, so much more unpleasant than killing wild animals that it is difficult to compare. The slaughter of battery farmed animals is infinately more disgusting than the slaughter of wild species due to the hellishness of the life that the animals have lead prior to their death.
The slaughter of the hunt appears appalling from a third person perspective, because the third person sees the contrast between freedom and the death. But from the first person/animal perspective (which should be? what counts) the un-hunted, bred to die animal is vastly more miserable.
Ric O'Barry guy goes to Japanese supermarkets to lament the death of his "friends." Does he have no friends who are cows bred in cages for beefburgers? Does he not care for their thousands of times, hundreds of thousands of times, more miserable existance?
I deeply opposed to his group, bearing in mind the vastly, enourmously, grotesquely (I lack adverbs) greater suffering going on in other means of human protein production, compared to the yet tragic slaugher of dolpins.
It seems to me that this movement is a cultural defense mechanism. The movement is in part, I feel, an attempt to allow those that participate in the movement, or have sympathy with the movement, to forget the infinitely more profound horror of slaughtering animals bred and living in small cages, to die by a slightly quicker means.
Would you rather have been born a dolpin that died in Taji, or a cow that lived and died in a battery farm?
Is there even a question? The answer is no. The horror of the "beef" (cow) that became a burger is so far worse, that there is no question, no viable comparison. The dolpin was hunted and killed, in pain. The cow's whole life was hell.
Weep by all means for the dolphins that die in Taji. And do not eat them. And do not go to dolphin shows in aquaria. And if you feel this sadness, or even if you don't, go wild, wild, wild with grief, and rage, for the life of the animal that made up your protein in the food that you will eat today.
Take out the plank in your own eye Mr. O'Barry. Take out the redwood tree in the eyes of your peers, before you point out the splinter in the eyes of others.
Yuk. Disgusting. Ric O'Barry and his movement disgusts me.
City of London 9 Gracechurch Street The Crosse Keys JD Wetherspoon English Pub with Alesha from Jamaica out on the Town Brown Mini Dress Beefburger and Fries

Japanese purchasers of this product know what they are buying. If there is any subterfuge it lies in the fact that the Japanese whalers harvest whales under the banner of scientific study - "to study the whale population". The whale thus harvested ends up as "bacon," it is suggested, as a secondary objective. I believe that whale is harvested for food (as a traditional Japanese culinary delicacy) and this is the primary objective, and the scientific survey use is secondary, though while "also true," it is also an excuse.
At the same time there is rumour that more whales are killed than is legally allowed, particularly by non Japanese whalers servicing the Japanese market. This may be a particularly bad idea since whales are being caught in the sea of Japan, in which the whale population is endangered. The whaling for "nudge nudge wink wink" scientific purposes takes place predominantly in the Antarctic region where it is claimed, and I believe the claim, that the whale population of some whales can sustain whaling without species being in danger of extinction.
In any event, I think that Japanese should be allowed to recommence whaling with limits for food, at at least current "scientific" whaling levels, since I believe that they will do it in a responsible, non-species endangering way. I also believe that it is differences in the culture of what is edible that are coming to play in the prevention of allowing Japanese to do this. Westerners go whale watching and see the whale as pets or even friends. Due to this attitude among westerners, the Japanese have decided to resort to calling their (i believe) scientific harvesting of whales for food, 'scientific whaling for science', as a sort of a exercise in tact, as they see it. In fact I think that it just gives them even more of a bad name as "liars that eat whale," rather than just "whale eaters."
There are clearly culturally dependent boundaries upon what can be eaten. There are also culturally dependent boundaries upon what can not be eaten because it is too human.
The sense of what defines human comes into play, I believe in Western sensibilities on eating Whale. Specifically, I believe it is the fact that some whales
1) Form "monogamous" pair bonds, rather than being as it were, polygamous (I am not sure of the term for cows....one male cow has sex with a lot of female cows, this helps us feel that cows are as it were, "savages" that we can eat)
2) Communicate using sounds ("whale song") in a seemingly sophisticated almost linguistic way. I also believe the research that suggests that there is little information content in whale song - it just does not have enough variety to contain much information content much less be anything approaching a human language.
The Japanese have different criterion for what is "human" and being "monogamous" and using language are not nearly so important.
Conversely the Japanese consider things that are hairy and cute to be more "like us," and find eating deer (bambi) and sheep (those cute cuddly critters) far less appealing again due to a sense of 'they are (cute) like us.'
As McVeigh says, the Japanese have a cult of cute. We westerners have a cult of monogamy ("Love") and language (the creative word of god, logos, the idea, Plato, cogito).
Personally I am not into eating whale but I have eaten it. It was not very nice. I will not be purchasing whale bacon. But this my preference is not founded upon something universal enough that I would force it upon those from other cultures. I might join a society for the education of humans on the lifestyles and psychology of food animals such that the beefburger and the whale bacon become more poignant.
Since writing the above I have become considerably more pro-whaling.
The nasi lemak was brilliant as always. 4 RM or 63p from the stall outside the HSBC bank on Jalan Ipoh.
The burger, cheese and egg were added at home.
Maybe it's the frozen variety, but Malaysia's iconic homegrown burger is appallingly foul-tasting and the horrific texture was like this.
