I'm sure I love you guys. Calgary - You've got the stampede. Alberta - You've got Corb Lund (I could go on for hours). But burgers? Just like you don't put beans in chili; you don't piss into the wind - You don't put oatmeal, organic or not, into your burgers. Period. Beef - it's what's for breakfast....and lunch.....and especially for dinner on the grill!!!!! Dude. I’m sure I love you guys. Calgary – You’ve got the stampede.

Close cousins, perhaps, but not quite the same family. Add seasonings all you like, even up to and including parsley, onion or garlic. Cilantro can be great! But when you start adding fillers like oatmeal or binders like egg, you're really talking about grilled, individualized portions of meatloaf. Meatloaf is good; don't get me wrong. But calling it a hamburger is, well, like putting lipstick on a cow. Ooooh…. including eggs takes these out of the realm of ‘hamburgers’ and into that of ‘meat patties’.
