They are horrible for you, generally don’t have much nutritional value, and can vary wildly in quality. But I think burgers are my favorite food.

When you find a good one, and I mean good, it has almost keeps a visceral, elevated position in your psyche. The outcome of a foodgasm perhaps?

I don’t know. But I have had very few elevated burgers. Very few.

In fact I can name them… but then I realize it wasn’t necessarily the quality of the burger, it was the emotional buildup of anticipation.

All that we hold in an elevated position as good food is like that I think. Since there is required physical need tied to food consumption, just like sex is tied to procreation, there is an emotional, subconscious buildup for some conclusion to satisfy that need.

You’re hungry, you have a craving, you wait and wait, and then boom - foodgasm.

A good burger backed by a solid amount of expectation is the recipe for a great meal.
