Coffee Break [14/9/20]

It can be a struggle getting through the second half of the day.

Amateur food critics, here’s your chance to eat for cash. Bonusfinder.com is looking for a professional cheeseburger tester. The position pays $500, a travel budget, and funds for purchasing burgers. The deadline to apply is Sept. 28, and the winner, picked at random, will be notified by Sept. 30. The lucky carnivore will get to chew their way towards the Best Burger In America. I love a good burger, this is my kind of gig.

Sorry, this one’s for North Americans only.

  1. Sounds like a great gig but it better come with health care if I am going to eat that many burgers.  I love a good burger but usually feel guilty or dirty when I eat all that grease, especially since you gotta have fries too right?
     

    • I don’t eat very much meat, when I do it’s usually a burger, But I’m with you, I can’t eat very many even without the fries. 

    • Fries are a must. To suggest otherwise is heresy of the highest order.

      • …with the *first* burger, sure…but depending on the burger sometimes even then the truth is I can’t finish all the fries

        …so I guess I may be a heretic…& very possibly not for the first time

      • I don’t eat a lot of fried foods. They make me feel a little queasy. You’re not the first person to accuse me of heresy, lol. 

  2. I’d much rather do the RV weekend too. It sounds much healthier than scarfing burgers. And I love visiting National Parks. 

  3. We had an RV for about 16 years and had some great times but they are a big expense and lots of maintenance costs, especially in the Northwest.  Yellowstone in an RV is unbeatable as is Cannon Beach but with most of our trips too far and short to drive we sold it.  

  4. If they’re willing to pay me enough to quit my regular job, then damned straight I’m on board.


     

  5.  I remember watching this. A young Robert Klein and people smoking on TV, I feel so old!

  6. I would do this if it involved patty melts. Sort of like a cheeseburger but with caramelized onions and no lettuce or tomato, and then you grill in butter, like you would a grilled cheese.
     
    I suppose I’d have to take along a portable defibrillator and learn how to self-administer but that can’t be too difficult.  

    • Patty melts on rye.😋

      • You can also make them on sourdough bread slices. This I refer to as “San Francisco-style,” because I’ve had them a couple of times out there and that’s how I got them. I don’t know if I made up this moniker. 

        • I’m sure this is an unpopular opinion but I’m not a fan of sourdough. 

          • …I don’t mind it now & again but I think whoever said “man can not live on bread alone” might have been thinking of it at the time?

  7. The Dunkin app was broken today so I didn’t get a latte this morning. It has not been super. 

     

    • Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t possibly get worse. 

    • That’s the best part about working from home now.  I get to wake up 1.5 hours later which means I haven’t had a cup of coffee in six months.

      • I just can’t with you non-coffee people. Nope. 

        • Alcohol was always my beverage of choice until I kept winding up in emergency rooms.   Compared to that, stopping coffee was a walk in the park.

          • If I tried to give up coffee someone would end up in the emergency room.

          • …I guess I can understand that…& I like to think I could get by without coffee…not least because I don’t sleep a lot these days

            …but I tried not drinking caffeine for a few months a while back (like before the world decided to lose its collective shit & call it 2020) to see if I got any more of the sleep & it turns out the two aren’t as related as I’d hoped

            …on balance I’d be willing to make the trade but since it seems like I’d be giving up something I like just to not get the thing I’d like to…yeah…I pretty much just drink the coffee?

  8. Oh no! I’m sorry you’re under caffeinated.
