PRESIDENTIAL BURGER: Obama

Makes 1 "Barack-o-Burger"

7 oz ground American kobe beef (regular 80/20 ground chuck could be substituted)
Salt and pepper

If using Kobe, mix meat with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat. Move burger to cooler part of the grill and cook to desired temperature (approximately 8 minutes for medium rare). Two minutes before serving, place a slice of American cheese on burger and melt.

Take the burger off the grill and place it on bun bottom. Smear mayo on the top of bun. Stack burger with onion, bacon, and arugula. Place top on burger and serve with waffle fries.

PRESIDENTIAL BURGER: McCain

Makles 1 burger

For burger:
7 oz chipped braised short rib or cooked brisket, formed into a patty
1/2 cup of flour
2 egg yolks, whisked
3 oz canola oil
1 tea of butter
1 bun
1 tbs Navy bean puree (any white bean or hummus can be substituted)
1 tbs of cactus-tomatillo salsa (available in specialty markets)
1 slice of really aged cheddar cheese.

Place oil in sauté pan and place over high heat.

Make sure burger is well chilled. Dip burger into flour, pat off excess. Then dip burger into egg wash.

Place butter into oil, allow it to melt. Add egg washed burger, make sure it does not stick. Allow to golden on both sides, approximately 1 minute each side. Then put burner heat to low and cover. Allow to heat all the way through, about 4 min. Flip once midway.

While burger is still in pan, place cheese on burger. Close lid again and allow cheese to melt. Take out of sauté pan and place burger on bun bottom. Top with salsa spread and bean puree. Finish with top of bun and serve with waffle chips.

I''d prefer not to mix politics with food - the outcome might be indigestion and/or a food fight.

However with that being said, I''m with iam4honesty. I am a military veteran myself (although I was not a POW) and I''m not happy with McShame trying to palm himself off as some kind of hero. He''s the spoiled son and grandson of admirals, and that is all he is.

These recipes sound great, worth trying. Too bad two of these recipes are wasted on Democrats as they have no taste.......
