...became cool for famous chefs to make burgers in 2001, when Daniel Boulud, James Beard Outstanding Chef of the Year, opened his casual DB Bistro Moderne and sold a $27 hamburger: ground sirloin stuffed with braised short ribs, foie gras and truffles. As much as I love Boulud's cooking, I found it disgusting--a gooey mess of indistinguishable, nauseating fat. I was, once again, alone: it now accounts for 30% of the bistro's food sales. This year, Boulud, Bobby Flay (New York City's Mesa Grill) and Thomas Keller (French Laundry in Napa Valley, Calif.) are opening burger...

...just the opportunity to charge a lot for ground beef that appeals to chefs. A year before Boulud's burger, executive chef Sang Yoon, then 29, ditched his job at Michael's in Santa Monica, Calif., to take over a nearby tiny dive bar called Father's Office and cook burgers. "Fine dining is not how people wanted to engage chefs anymore," Yoon says. "It's not the most fun night to hang out."

...Starbucks attracted customers from a small, elite segment of the country; now, its visitors pervade many more segments across America. But, as I finish my latte, I still can't fully envision the collision of these two worlds. Just imagine one of those annoyingly finicky coffee-orderers requesting a burger just-so at McDonald's: "I'll have a grande, extra hot Big Mac with one pump ketchup." It just doesn't seem...

...campaign coup de grace came on Monday, when the schedule said Huck and Chuck would "attend the launch of the Huckaburger." So ensued the mob outside the Barley House, the chanting Paul supporters, the frustrated journalists. Few were able to see the actual burger, which consisted of bison meat on a whole wheat bun with spinach and a fried pickle, according to a senior aide. But then that may be okay for the still soaring Huckabee campaign. The fact that more than a hundred people strained outside the restaurant window for a glimpse of a piece of meat was validation...
