with apologies to 
Diana and 
Jim, the only way to do a burger right is to mash a double handful of ground beef with a huge pinch of 
garam masala, slap it into a patty, and throw it on the George Foreman grill. Burn that puppy to well-done, no pink. Eat with ketchup, mustard, and/or green chutney. Buns are optional if you have 
naan. Anything else is indeed "gussied up". shallots and marjoram? good grief!
