It’s Burger Month!! #burgermonth

BurgerMonth2015

Kita over at Girl Carnivore has an amazing line up for 30+ bloggers that are all posting burgers for the month of August.

I have been lucky enough to know Kita for many years now, she is my food blogging idol. I was lucky enough to be one of the bloggers she included!!

Kita is awesome, and also owns Pass the Sushi. Check this girl out. Her recipes are EPIC!

Of course, it being burger month I had to come up with something worthy of the Bison Burger-1-4event.

To me having burgers in the summer is a must.

Growing up in Kansas City (Kansas NOT Missouri), you are used to having some sort of grill out pretty much every weekend if not a few days during the week as well.

When I was little my family used to use the sidewalks that were in the neighborhood we lived in to walk during the nicer months of the year.

Yes, the “nicer months”…aside from popular belief the Midwest does indeed get snow.

Who knew?!

As we walked, or I was in pushed in the stroller, or was getting yanked by my big brother down the pavement we always used to play “guess that grill smell”.

Sounds weird, but we got pretty good at it!

“Someone’s grillin!”

My brother: “I say chicken!”

Me: “I say pork!”

Burgers were ALWAYS the easiest to pinpoint. Something about that grill smell… #noms

Or steak. I used to be a steak eating FOOL when I was younger. #midwestgirl

I was always one that wanted to get the burger with all the toppings, forget the bun! I want the meat and cheese and all the GOOD stuff!

Anyone who knows me, I will always go for the burger and leave the bun.

Rather save room for the good stuff!

Hence, why you will see my burger with a sweet potato “bun”.

This tends to be how I make my burgers unless they are on lettuce. Just a preference of mine.

If you wanna make this burger with a bun, I guarantee it’ll still be super duper amazingly delicious!

This particular burger I chose is a Bison burger.

WHUUUT?!

Yup, Bison.

I kind of fell in love with Bison not too long ago, maybe 3 years ago.

We have a place called Ted Montana’s here in CT (I am sure there are tons of other locations), and they had an offering for a Bison burger.

Sure, why not, I’ll be daring.

Uh, mind blown people.

Bison is amazing!

Tends to be a little leaner and also has a slight purplish hue compared to regular beef.

Taste wise I would say you probably won’t notice too much of a difference from something like a ground sirloin.

If you haven’t ventured to try a Bison burger, definitely do so!

Especially if you are a burger freak like me 😉

My best friend Chrissy will tell you that if I say I like a burger, it’s a big deal
