Big Burger Ballyhoo 2007

bal-ly-hoo [n. bal-ee-hoo] -a clamorous and vigorous attempt to win customers or advance any cause; blatant advertising or publicity.
We here at Writing at the Kitchen Table have no interest in duping the public. You won't find bait and switch here folks! We're unashamedly promoting a food event in an attempt to hype our own profile. And as if the event itself weren't enough to draw a crowd, we're even giving away a prize!

Freya has authorised this event, but I don't think she approves. It's no secret that I choose to express my American patriotism in the form of the occasional cheeseburger (or hot dog, or taco, or...) and I'm about half way through my quest to find the perfect burger (+/-20 years, dependant on future coronary surgical technique). I've never found a burger to compare with the Grand Daddy from JJ's, but that hasn't stopped the search.

Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are fortunate to be a few short weeks away from barbeque season. I'm hoping that a few readers are as excited about this as I am or this will be a very dull event. Just send me your best burger recipes, pictures included if you'd like, and I will cook and sample all of them. Don't limit yourselves to standard beef patties. I've been known to get just as excited by veggie burgers (falafel counts), fish burgers, chicken...squirrel.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
All submissions must be able to be cooked on a barbeque.
All submissions must be received by 11:59PM pst May 25, 2007.
Relatives and personal friends are welcome to submit recipes, but will not be considered eligible to win.
I retain the right to refuse sampling burgers which have ingredients I am unable to find or which may cause instant death.
Judging will conclude June 1, 2007 or when I've had a stroke, whichever comes first.

Send an E-mail with Burger Ballyhoo in the subject line to youbiggirlsblouse at tiscali dot co dot uk. Include the name of your burger, recipe, your name, the name of your blog, and a picture of the burger if possible. Feel free to use our Warhol logo without permission.

To really up the ante, we can tell you that the winning prize package will include a bottle of Goatslick as seen in our April 1st post. Now go get grilling!
