It takes chile peppers to make a burger good
We loved this article, mostly because it essentially comes from a blog called the Houston Press blogs…and because it touches on an idea we did a while ago called the “Blairburger.” Making a burger fit for a chilehead takes some doing, and this restaurant near Houston has one that we’d really like to try.

Peri-Peri Burger: It Seemed Like a Great Idea at the Time

The peri-peri burger at Out of Africa, the new South African restaurant on Southwest Freeway in Sugar Land, is a hamburger topped with the legendary hot sauce made with African bird peppers. And since I love peri-peri chicken, peri-peri prawns and peri-peri everything else, I figured this one was a natural.

Those Houston Press food blogs make for great reading. Thanks for highlighting them for us to find.
This Marylander has never been to Texas, but I can read and drool online.

Not to trump this one, but if ever in Omaha, be sure to go to Big Mama’s Kitchen (http://www.bigmamaskitchen.com/). They have what is called an Afro Burger, which is ground beef mixed with dried, red pepper flakes *and* cayennes, and molded into a long sausage-shaped burger. It’s put on a hoagie bun and drenched in BBQ sauce. Out of this world! Sure, it could be a little hotter, but it’s still awesome.

Awesome, I’m in Omaha about once a month. I’ll have to try it out.
