The Embassy Burger. I managed to sneak over last week and grab one.
Backstory: Our meals here are contracted by a logistics provider, not unlike KBR in the old days. This Iraq, however, is not like previous iterations. We are on the CHEAP, as we are here "helping" the Iraqis, not actively fighting *cough*. So our chow hall is too small for the population it serves, and we have one of the better ones here. The way they make burgers is to cook them early in the day, then hold them in hot water, putting a short "sear" on them prior to serving.
Disgusting is too nice a word to use for the texture and taste.
Enter the United States Embassy, Baghdad, Iraq. The same contractor that provides our meals also provides the Embassy's, but they apparently have the bigger fridge and get the A-team staff. They make a griddle seared, cooked to order burger, hand formed patty, cheese, mushrooms, and fresh baked bread bun. Yea, it is as good as it sounds. Especially when all you can get on our side of the street is a boiled burger shaped patty that make McD's look like Shake Shack.

Beast, take it from somebody that has worked overseas in the Oilfield for 24 of the last 38 years, in place like Egypt, Amazon Jungle, Russia and the West cost of Africa that Sapper is not just eating but "Savoring that Hamburger".

On the way home from Starkville yesterday I took the scenic route down Old West Point Road. Stopped at Anthonys in West Point and sat at the bar for about an hour watching games on the tube. Me and the Mrs got a table, she ordered the blackened catfish with crawfish sauce and I ordered the special, fried oysters and grilled scallops over linguini tossed in a Frank's Red Hot cream sauce with blue chees crumbles. We washed it down with several Lucky Town Pub Ales. I highly recommend all of the above.

I should have gone there today- but instead me and boys hit BWW. The Carne Asada or the Grilled Shrimp wrapped with bacon, cheese, and jalape?o would have hit the spot.

Got some nice lemon sole fillets from my fish monger today, and made the lady and myself a nice dinner for two.
So we've got roasted fish, on a bed of crispy potato, with a sauce of red pepper (red bells, vermouth, shallots, white wine vinegar; pureed, sived, then mounted with butter), and sauteed carrots, zucchini, and baby leeks on either side of the plate. I was pretty happy with how this turned out.
Tonight I had a couple Guinness' while I cooked. Now I'm drinking more Clontarf whiskey.
