Bubba Burgers

Yes, it has been a while since my last post and I really have no excuses. Sorry, Mitch that my first post in a month is about non-Kosher food, but the arrival of two new varieties of Bubba Burgers in my local ShopRite was too much to pass on. We always had regular and onion but now we also have the jalapeño and Angus. All the flavors have been around for a while, but the store just started carrying them.

For those of you not familiar with these tasty, 1/3 pound, patties of juicy goodness, Bubba Burgers are made from ground chuck. While not the lowest fat content, they seem to have the highest taste content. They come frozen, 6 to a pack and are a bit pricey at around $1 a piece ($1.25 for the Angus). They have very specific cooking instructions, which if followed, make one of the tastiest buggers around. They come in a bunch of varieties including, oddly, a low fat burger. It's all explained on the website, if you really need more info. You may have seen ads for Bubba burgers at a baseball game or, if you are a NASCAR fan, on the #21 Bush Baked Beans/Bubba Burger Truck.

On to my "new" varieties. The jalapeño is in a word spicy. I've had a lot of burgers or chicken that has claimed to have spice, but these have bits of jalapeño in them and need nothing more than some jack cheese, maybe a tomato and a sturdy bun. As for the Angus Bubba, I'm not sure words can do it justice. Picture a great Angus steak, crossed with the juiciest burger you can think of. This image probably best describes it:


We are still waiting for the Texas shaped burgers (1/2 lb. !), the "Natural" burgers and the Bubba Bacon, but I'm sure they will be worth the wait.
