Ode to a Hamburger
Few shows not on the Food Network have made me so hungry as last night's episode of How I Met Your Mother. The episode, entitled "The Best Burger in New York," followed Marshall's quest to find the burger joint where he'd enjoyed hamburger perfection. Here is his exquisite ode to the burger:
"...That first bite. Oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame-freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below. Flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then… a pickle. The most… playful little pickle. Then a slice of tomato. A leaf of lettuce. A patty of ground beef so… exquisite… swirling in your mouth, breaking apart and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savories so… delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Robin. This is God, speaking to us through food."
Sigh...
If you're not hungry yet, watch the full episode here.
