Foodie Friday: 12 Gourmet Burgers To Grill This Summer

 


The Burger is an American culinary icon. Any grill master needs a recipe that honors that status. Life is too short to eat a boring burger.  This recipe roundup delivers fabulous flavors that you don't find in your frozen or fast food varieties. Now go and fire up that grill!


The Ultimate Jack & Coke Bacon Cheeseburger
The recipe author says it best:  "The gentle whiskey aroma is front and center, some from the burger and some from the whiskey mayo. The caramelized onions add a wonderful layer of flavor, as does the smoky gruyere cheese. And let us not forget the million dollar bacon." Oh Baby!

Blue Cheese Stuffed Portobello Burger With Grilled Corn & Crispy Shallots
No one will ask where the beef is with this fabulous and rich recipe. And to make this recipe even more unique, the author suggests that they are served on an English muffin.

Aloha Burgers
Did I ever tell you that I ordered a Honolulu burger on my first date with Mr. Shop This? It was fabulous and to this day I still love a burger with grilled pineapple. These burgers are made with Wagu! Mine was not. :)

Bourbon Bacon Burger
Oh Yum! What makes these burgers boozy is the barbecue sauce that features Bourbon. I always make my own BBQ sauce and often add bourbon or beer, so I know this recipe will be great!

Blackened Salmon Burgers with Herbed Cream Cheese
That cream cheese spread on the toasted bun, just might temp me to eat the bread. And I haven't had a hamburger bun in likely 25 years. This really sounds like a winning recipe.

Blueberry BBQ Brie Burger
I happen to love any recipe that is both sweet and savory. Add fresh arugula, crispy bacon, and blueberry bbq sauce to this burger, and it becomes quite fancy.

Thai Spiced Turkey Burgers
These tasty burgers have a little chile kick, plus the warmth of fresh ginger and a bright punch from cilantro.

Bobby Flay's Sante Fe Burger with a Twist
This burger is said to be a production, but so worth it. Truth be known, most of what I make is a production, so this recipe does not scare me.  But the homemade queso sauce, fried green tomatoes, and charred peppers really take Bobby's burger to another level! 

Chicken Pesto Burger
Just tonight I added my homemade pesto to a shrimp burger for dinner. It really adds a lot of flavor, especially to chicken. This is a must try.

 Brazilian Epic Burger with Egg
This image looks like there is everything but the kitchen sink on the burger. On top of it all is a runny yolked egg. Yummy!

Spicy Tofu Burgers
I do love tofu and have grilled it before, but never anything quite this elaborate. This looks like a vegetarian delight!

Cool Whites For Hot Days & Nights


When the weather gets hot, there's nothing cooler than white linen or cotton. A city person at heart, I still wear a lot of black. This last weekend I wore a crisp white shirt to dinner, and I have to say, it felt good to do so.  This edit features fresh and fabulous finds in white, at all price points.


Cotton Halter Shirt Dress
This style is so flattering, if you do sleeveless. Best yet, it is under $140 on sale.

I have been eyeing this piece for a while now. At $125 it is affordable, and I think really fun.

Simple with beautiful detailing. 
White Seedbead Drop Earring
There is something about seedbeads that just reminds me of the beach. Pull your hair back and wear these for a cool and collected look.
