plain hamburger

Funny thing is, my paddling/life partner and I haven't tried hamburgers canoe tripping. Seems pretty straightforward, right?
Pork chops, butterflied and stuffed yup. Bacon, well naturally. Steaks, oh freaking yes. Chicken, and not like that other guy eats it, yes.
But never hamburgers. Not really a point of contention but certainly something to be explored. Of course, there is a minor flaw.
She doesn't think so but yours truly does. She. Refuses. Cheese. On her burgers. What the flaw?
Can you eat a cheeseless poutine? She won't touch that repas gastronomique?! Okay, how about a grilled cheese? She's not a fan?!
But she does like mac n cheese. I miss the days of processed cheese slices, but she just gives me the evil eye. She's become a cheese snob.
Frozen home made patties with the ensuing fresh condiments; for night # 1 would work. I would bring my own cheese of course.

So what?

Sure! If you're willing to carry the extra weight.

Ok now I’m hungry. I was out to dinner last night and instead of a burger I got a chicken dish first time there so I went with something I don’t make at home. The table next to us the man ordered the burger and instead or one of those fancy toothpicks to hold it together like a normal restaurant they stabbed a steak knife straight down the middle. They stabbed it so hard when he tried to pull it out the whole cutting board it was served on came up with it. It really was quite the presentation, I wish I had taken a pic of it

That’s a good way to break in the griddle.

Gourmet burgers hit the cuisine world years ago, but IMO, like rock n roll, it they can never die. Burgers rock! ha
kahel is gonna hafta start another thread for Tripping Burger Recipes.
Funny. Our eldest son said he had hit upon the perfect burger meat recipe, and hosted a BBQ to demonstrate. It was a great family backyard event, except we got talking etc (lots of etc) around the BBQ...and the burgers got burnt. Actually incinerated. I've never seen anything like it . Actually consistently, thoroughly, incinerated. My heart went out to him, I felt really, really bad. So I insisted on eating my 2. (No-one else was that foolish/dedicated). Strangely enough, I swear I could still remotely taste the flavour notes he was chasing with his recipe, but mostly, yup, it was like chowing down on charcoal briquettes. The condiments were excellent, trust me. He was aghast his dad would do such a thing. I told him I had 2/two reasons. #1 I'm my own water filter now, so I have no worries for the next few hours. #2, you shouldn't need to ask why I've got your back.
We have a father&son paddle trip in the planning stages for this summer. Thanks Kahel for the reminder about tripping burgers!
But ya know what, I'm still not sure I ever want to be my own water filter ever again.

I eat very little meat anymore - can’t afford it. But I broke down and bought a pound. I started a wood fire in the outdoor fireplace and put the burgers on when I got a golden red bed of coals. Just salt and pepper. There’s nothing like burgers over a wood fire. I did not think to take pictures. I was too busy enjoying the meal.
Hamburgers are simply balm for the soul. 
That looks really good. You are welcome to cook them on our trips anytime.
Great job on the burgers, they look great.
I like that reversible griddle. I'm in the market for one and the reversible looks like the way to go.
I've never thought about making burgers on a trip, but I don't see why not. I see three ways I would do it.
1) Bring fresh burger in a kryovak 1 lb bag and eat on the first night.
2) Bring a frozen 1 lb chub and eat when it thaws.
3)Precook the burgers at home and either freeze or not, then heat and eat. For the most part I stopped bringing fresh meat after raw steak leaked juice in my pack. Blood spoils and gets smelly pretty quickly.

To have hamburgers on a canoe trip would be Point three would also be my choice of options.
We will see how the current year develops and which tours can be done.
Maybe there will be one where we can eat “HAMBURGER.”
