Dallas Burger
From: Network.comDirections
Perfect Patty:
Shape 6 ounces of 80 percent lean ground beef chuck into a uniform patty, no more than 3/4 inch thick (don't overwork the meat). Make a depression in the center with your thumb so the burger won't bulge; the indent will rise as the patty cooks. Preheat a grill or cast-iron grill pan to high. Brush the burger with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred, turning once (7 minutes for medium-rare). Avoid pressing with a spatula! Add cheese for the last minute of cooking.
Spice Rub:
Coat the patty with a rub before grilling: Mix 1 tablespoon ancho chile powder, 2 teaspoons Spanish paprika, 1 teaspoon each dried oregano, ground coriander, dry mustard, ground cumin and kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon ground chile de arbol.
Coleslaw:
For the chef's easy slaw, whisk 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 grated white onion, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons celery seeds, 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and salt and pepper. Mix with 1 small shredded head cabbage and 1 shredded carrot. Let sit for 15 minutes.
BBQ Sauce Ingredients:
* 2 tablespoons canola oil
* 1 Spanish onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, chopped
* 1 cup ketchup
* 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
* 1 tablespoon paprika
* 1 heaping tablespoon dijon mustard
* 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped
* 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
* 1 tablespoon honey
* 1 tablespoon molasses
* Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the onion; cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the ketchup and 1/3 cup water, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients (except salt and pepper); simmer for 10 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the mixture to a food processor; puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a bowl; cool to room temperature. Brush some sauce onto the patties as they cook; spoon more on top when you assemble the burger.
Movie: Transformers
The movie opens with Optimus Prime narrating the history of the Cube, the Allspark, and how its origins were unknown, and where ever it traveled it created life, even on Cybertron.
Their society flourished, until they were betrayed by Megatron, and war erupted over the Allspark, which was eventually lost in space and ended up on an unknown planet, Earth.
Fast forward thousands of years to present day Earth, Qatar, to be exact, where American soldiers are stationed. They fly in to their base and go about the usual routine. Captain Lennox contacts his wife and gets to see his baby girl again, when a helicopter previously thought to have been shot down over Afghanistan comes up on the radar. It lands at the base and the military orders it to stand down, but instead it transforms into Blackout and proceeds to destroy the base. Blackout also lets out some kind of jamming field that blocks all communications channels. The Decepticon blasts his way through the base, only momentarily dazzled by flares shot at his face (which saves Tech Sergeant Epps, after Epps got scans of Blackout). Blackout tracks down the base's mainframe and proceeds to download info, until the humans cut the computer's hardline, terminating the network's connection. Blackout the destroys the base and everyone on it, save for a few who escape. Blackout then releases Scorponok into the sand to hunt down the survivors.
