Unusually good for a meal that is always unusually good: Friday night peanut butter bacon burgers at the Roediger House enjoyed by those smart or lucky enough to work out their plans to be here!
 |
| Mighty tempting to grab a slice or two of bacon fresh off the griddle. |
 |
| Another reason to love Virginia? |
 |
| Pretty close to the perfect consistency and taste for the peanut butter. |
 |
| The beef cubes, ready for about 30 minutes in the freezer to firm them up. |
 |
| Another great service provided by the Cuisinart. |
 |
| Wow: perfectly ground this time. |
 |
| The patties, gently pushed into shape and liberally salted and peppered. |
 |
| Get your sizzle on. |
 |
| Buttered, toasted kaiser rolls |
 |
| I tried putting the bacon on the bottom this time. |
 |
The assembled mass, from top to bottom:
homemade peanut butter, provolone, fresh-ground patty, bacon,
homemade burger sauce, buttered toasted kaiser roll |

Dessert made late night and post bar hopping:
