Burger #260 – Bacon Bits

Meat week is real.

Have you heard of the wondrous event called “Meat Week“? Starting yesterday, Meat Week celebrates – what else – meat, with eight full days of meat eating. In recognition, here is the bacon bit burger.

Check out more information from the Meat Week website:

• Schedule:

  The Captain & First Mate publish a list of 7 different BBQ restaurants in their city. 8 Nights, (Sunday through Sunday) 7 restaurants, (both Sundays take place at Sonny’s). In places without Sonny’s, we celebrate the last night with a BYOBBQ at a gracious Meat Weeker’s home, so everyone can pick up food from their favorite restaurant or grill their own.

• Best-Of’s:

  Each captain organizes the voting for their own city, usually rounding up votes for the following categories: Best Sauce, Best Service, Best Sides, Best Atmosphere, and Best All-Around. To maintain a certain level of fairness, only those who have attended 4 nights or more are asked to vote.

• Meat Week Honors:

  Awards chosen by the leaders for those who have a special place in this year’s Meat Week. These are usually different each year. Years past have included an award for the person who came every night or the one who had to walk the farthest to enjoy meat. Your best Meatographer might also receive an award. These are presented, along with the Best Ofs, on the last night.

• Meatography:

  A picture is taken of each individual person who attends, each night they attend. There is also a group photo taken beneath the restaurant’s sign each night. Check out the gallery archives for entertaining, sauce-stained poses.

• Hype Week:

  During the week leading up to Meat Week, those involved in and those excited about the coming meat storm create graphical and video meat-hype that is plastered about the Internet to warn others that “Meat Week cometh.”

Want to join in the all the festivities? Find your local Meat Week chapter and start eating some meat.

(Sorry to the all the vegans/non meat eating people out there … maybe you can start a “Non-Meat Week”?)

Burger #259 – Newspaper

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Does anyone really read the newspaper anymore? Now a days, you can just get all the news online, almost instantly after it happens. Oh well, at least one can use the newspaper for other things, like creating this burger. ([])

Burger #258 – Ramen Noodles

It’s a noodle doodle…

Ahhh, ramen noodles, the college dorm favorite. Here’s a burger image created with ramen noodles that have been broken into pieces. What to do with broken ramen pieces? Put them in a delicious cabbage salad such as this one. It’s not as good as a burger, but still really tasty. ([])

“Orion Burger” Video Game

Does anyone remember this computer video game from 1996 called “Orion Burger”?

I found these images on “Giant Bomb”, but have not been able to find any more information about the game:

“Proving that burgers aren’t always good, Orion Burger focuses around the attempts of alien invaders to turn humans into burgers”

Check out all the images here:

Burger #257 – Pinholes

I want the “hole” truth…

Is it fun to poke lots of holes into a piece of paper? Not really, but I think it looks pretty cool.  I just better be able to get a whole burger and not a hole in my burger. ([])

Burger #256 – Acrylic Painting

Painting the town “burger”…

“Burger Boy” the book

Book fans out there with kids will definitely want to check out this book about a boy that loves burgers.

From Amazon:

“From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2–This rollicking British import takes the format of The Gingerbread Boy and turns it into a cautionary tale. Young Benny has never met a burger he didn’t like; in fact, he will eat nothing else. After a steady diet of beef patties on a bun, he becomes one and finds himself being chased across the countryside by a pack of dogs, a herd of cows, and a group of hungry boys. He is finally saved from being a sideshow attraction at a burger franchise by his wise mother, who plies him with fruits and vegetables. The story is saved from a didactic and predictable ending by the warning that Benny should take care not to eat just vegetables, lest he finds himself transformed again. The simple lines and lively colors of the acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations add to the kid appeal. A fun addition to any library collection, Burger Boy perfectly suits a picky-eater-themed storytime that includes Russell Hoban’s Bread and Jam for Frances (HarperCollins, 1964) or Mary Ann Hoberman’s The Seven Silly Eaters(Harcourt, 1997).–Rita Hunt Smith, Hershey Public Library, PA

Burger #255 – Constellation

Star Light, star bright…

On a clear night, gaze into the dark sky and see the burger in the stars, otherwise known as “Burger Major”. Guarded over by “Ursa Major” and “Ursa Minor”, there is plenty of burger to be shared, and all the other constellations are thankful. ([])

Burger #254 – Conan O’Brien

I’m with Coco…

Have you been watching the new Conan O’Brien show on TBS?  A fan of him since before “Late Night” on NBC, I was disappointed as anyone was with all the “Tonight Show” drama, but it looks like things still worked out. To celebrate the new show’s current success, here is the Conan O’Brien logo along with the Blimp as a turkey cheeseburger. Why turkey? What else would a Conan Burger be comprised of? Now everyone, do the “string dance”! ([])

Burger Mobile

Check out these great pics of the “Burger Mobile”.

Burger #253 – T-Shirt Clip Art

My other t-shirt is clean…

The good folks at Fibers.com let me customize my own t-shirt on their website, so I figured I would design one for Burger365. It was super easy to create a custom shirt. You choose the shirt style, color, and size that you want to use, place whatever clip art and/or text you want on the shirt, and a few days later, you get the shirt in the mail. You can even upload your own images for a fully custom design. I decided to use the wide selection of Fibers “Food” clip art to create this burger image.  It took a bit of time to figure out what would work best, but I think it turned out great. ([])

Want your own custom shirt? Design a shirt today at Fibers.com. They also have a great selection of pre-designed burger t-shirts, meat t-shirts, and a wide variety of other cool categories.  Thanks Fibers!

Burger #252 – String

String ‘em up…

When you go to the butcher’s shop to pick up some ground beef, they usually will wrap it up with some string. Just don’t leave that string in there when you cook up those burgers. Use it to make an image of a burger instead. ([])

Burger #251 – Duct Tape

It can fix anything…

You’ve seen the Do-It-Yourself Duct Tape Wallet, now you can make your own Duct Tape Burger as well. Something broken? Just put some duct tape on it and you’re good to go. ([])

Burger #250 – Vitamin

Take two with burger, daily…

We will ever eat meals in  pill form like on The Jetsons?  I wonder if the burger vitamin would be just as good as the real thing? Probably not, but pretty convenient if you are in a hurry.  ([])

Mom X Burger365

My mom is an avid pottery maker, so when she found out about the Burger365 project, she wanted to create a clay pottery burger. Here it is, all sculpted, painted and glazed. Thanks mom, it turned out great! ([])

Burger #249 – Pretzel

C’mon “burger”, let’s do the twist…

Before and after pictures of baking a pretzel in a burger shape. Next step, sprinkling it with burger flavor and/or filling it with cheese. Yum! ([])

Burger #248 – Rhinestones

Like a rhinestone “burger”…

Do you like shiny things? If so, you might like today’s burger, created out of shiny rhinestones.  Did any of you actually get the bedazzler?  Wouldn’t you  totally get a “beburgerer” if such a thing existed?  ([])
