In honor of the Jimmy Buffett concert this Saturday in San Diego, I decided to make Cheeseburgers. They were smoked with oak and topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions, pickle chips, and Heinz 57 sauce. Here's what they looked like when they were all done.

They were juicy and delicious.

I am going to the San Diego concert. I'll be tailgating in the parking lot -- shrimp, kielbasa, cheeseburgers and maybe even a beer or two and then off to the show.

Don't you do that every day? ;D Well after 3 pm anyway ;)

... tailgating in the parking lot...
For some unfathomable reason, the local authorities are carefully monitoring tailgating activities in the parking lot at the concert venue (like they don't have real criminals to go after) so our parties are fairly subdued these days. We're also no longer allowed to bring coolers into the concert (Jimmy wants his override from the concessions). I still manage to have a travel mug with a cooler of Guinness and some prepared pupus (appetizers) in the trunk for the parking lot and a few minis of rum or vodka for the concert. Gotta maintain my strength.
... after 3 pm anyway
As they say, "It's 3 o'clock somewhere."

Great looking cheeseburgers there Bill.

Good looking Burgers there Bill. Have a great time my fellow Parrot Head.

Great looking burgers. I have been a Jimmy Buffett fan since the early 70's and saw him play at the FloraBama once back before he got so huge. I went to one of his concerts and while I really enjoy his mucic I probably won't make another concert, you can't enjoy the music for the wierdness around. 50,000 people singing "let's all get drunk and screw" off key is not all that fun. I will continue to listen to him out on my deck with a margarita though.

Hey Bill..got to thinking...why you trucking down to San Diego.......Jimmy aint coming to the Los Angeles area this year??
-
There's no Los Angeles show scheduled as of now. San Jose and San Diego are the two California shows.

Great picture, what a rare opportunity, you'll value that picture forever, but who is that guy standing next to Jimmy???? :o

For those of you who are interested and available, I just got a note from Jimmy (well, okay, it was actually a notice from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival computer) that since Eddie Vedder had to cancel, he has just been added to do an acoustical set with Mac McAnally at JazzFest on Thursday, May 3rd from 5:55 to 6:55 PM. I'll be stage left about halfway up, next to the stands under an Australian aboriginal flag (yellow circle on black & red background). Join us!

Very nice pic....got to meet his sister Lucy last week here in Greenville. She was here on a book tour for her place LuLu's in Gulf Shores, LA (lower Alabama). She is a great gal and one heck of a crack up.

Bill, If more folks smoked their burgers they would find out how great they are that way. I like to smoke mine and then finish on my Quantum IR grill or my SRG.
Turtle, why don't you get you one of those new army canteens that go on the back and put it under your shirt. Then you could just drink out of the tube. Shoot, I bet you would be the only one to try something like that and the local constabulary has most likely never thought of that. Dee

Yeah, that's the best way to make them. I cook 'em indirect on my Weber kettle. High heat and chunks of wood in the charcoal. Then move them over the coals at the end just to sear the outside of the burger and melt the cheese. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

dee - One of the few things I've never had trouble with is the ability to consume adult beverages in a surreptitious manner. If only I had other skills as well honed.

You look leaner and slightly meaner than when we all met in NOLA a year ago!

Thanks for noticing - I lost 30 pounds of "prosperity" last year. Gonna try for 30 more after my JazzFest/Savannah trip. Of course by then it'll probably need to be more like forty.

Had a craving for burgers last night (sorry I didn't take pics). But I used CB's slick method of forming the burgers in a half-sheet pan and then stuffed the mixture (80/20 hamburger, Worcestershire, S&P, minced jalapenos) with some Provolone cheese, more minced jalapenos, grated jalapeno jack cheese and minced red onion. Dusted the inside with Instant Gourmet and formed into burgers.
Topped the burgers with more provolone (didn't have any american cheese). Served them with panko-crusted onion rings, my homemade spicy pickled carrots and beetroot with horseradish. Used my favorite onion rolls.
Damn tasty dinner!
