No. 81: Cowboy Burger From Charm City Burgers
Bringing a change of clothes wouldn't be a bad idea if you order a burger "cowboy style" at Charm City Burgers in Deerfield Beach. The name isn't just indicative of the wrangler-sized hunger it takes to
finish it; managing to eat the falling-apart burger without losing half
of it is akin to lasting eight seconds on top of a rodeo bull.
The standard logic here would be to cut the packed burger in half
and approach it a little at a time. But that only goes so far. The best
tactic is to position your hands opposite your mouth so that when you
bite one side of the bun, the fresh-ground patty doesn't go squirting
out the back. But that just leads to gobs of freshly sautéed onions and
mushrooms running out of the sides, or worse, the top part
of the bun sliding off along a thick wedge of tomato lubricated by
"Charm sauce" (a sort of spicy Thousand Island that is hardly charming
when it's splotched all over your face). Just when you thought it was safe to set down, the thick-cut, black pepper-studded bacon will tumble out of the side, or the yolk from the fried egg will pop, trickling down your fingers and onto your arms. By the time you're finished, bits of burger shrapnel and soaked
paper napkins will litter the table. But one thing is guaranteed: you'll be satisfied.
