Pornburger: Hot Buns and Juicy Beefcakes by Matthew Ramsey

Self-proclaimed “burger pervert” and blogger Matthew Ramsey now shares mouth-watering burgers in print format with his first book, Pornburger: Hot Buns and Juicy Beefcakes.  Complete with vivid photographs, Ramsey celebrates the American classic by putting new twists on burgers such as the “Mac Daddy” which features macaroni and cheese buns; the “Bill U Murray Me?” which includes cabbage, egg  yolk, and lard; and the “Horn Dog,” a hot dog that features two beef patties as a bun.  Ramsey’s hamburgery isn’t limited to just beef either; he also has recipes for pork, fish, fowl, and even fruits like watermelon.  And to top everything off, there’s concoctions for sauces, sides, desserts, and drinks!
