Made a Burger Tonight

Hey guys,

No pictures or anything, but wanted to pass on a few things with a burger I made for dinner tonight. First I bought some dry aged ground beef. Then I did a fish sauce/umami marinade for the beef I got from here - http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/best-umami-hamburger-recipe/

This made a difference and I was pleasantly surprised. I always thought marinading with fish sauce would be too much, but it worked great.

Then I borrowed a tip from the Le Pigeon cookbook where I dressed lettuce with an aioli and topped the burger with it. This incorporated the aioli, but didn't quite treat it as a sauce. It worked really well. 

Then I brushed a toasted pretzel bun with dijon and ketchup and added some bacon between the burger and dressed greens. It was very good.
