I’m a big hiker, and I like boxing. I mean, I love a good burger, but I keep things in moderation.
When I was a kid, I was kind of obsessed with that movie ‘Dick Tracy.’ Burger King had all this ‘Dick Tracy’ stuff, and I collected all of it, and I had the posters, and I watched it on a loop.
My first foray into meatless burgers was BA’s Best Veggie Burger, a no-holds-barred, maximalist veggie burger in the style of Superiority Burger. A year later I followed that up with a black-bean tofu burger designed to stand up to the high heat of the grill. So what was there left to say? Plenty.
I’m a chicken and fish guy, but I throw a burger in once, maybe twice a week.
I have to say I love Dempsey’s Brew Pub & Restaurant. It’s gorgeous with that Camden Yard brick surrounding it, and it just screams Baltimore. I love the Black and Orange Burger that is topped with fresh orange bell peppers, caramelized onions and sharp cheddar cheese.
There are some people who are Burger King people, and there are some people who are McDonald’s people.
I try to live by the 80/20 rule – 80% clean, 20% cheat. During the week and while I train, I eat as clean as possible. But I always like myself a good cheat day, which includes a juicy burger.
You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars.
I enjoy the burger joint the same way I enjoy fancy meals.
I’ve discovered the burger is a crazy thing in Vegas, but I was one of the early chefs to do a lot of burgers.
Food rules. Little rivals the pleasure of tearing into a glistening burger.
When you’re eating salad and quinoa while training, all you want is a burger. In the cycling season, when I’m doing 30-odd hours of exercise a week, I’m dreaming of burgers and curries that I’ll have at the end of the season.
We don’t go to war to protect Pizza Hut or Burger King or some other things, some of the nonsense I’ve seen on our battlefields.
If I ran a national burger franchise – which I don’t – I’d make it a rule that no two customers can be greeted with precisely the same words and that every third customer must be grossly insulted as a matter of course. Just to keep the atmosphere nice and lively. And to keep the staff laughing.
It’s just an American tradition to make sure people don’t leave hungry. The worst thing is to have them say, ‘Great dinner, but now I have to go get a burger.’
When I’m in need of a quick meal or party dish, a burger is hands-down my go-to pick! Burgers are easy, fast, and don’t even require utensils to eat, making them the perfect get-together main course, tailgating essential, and simple dinner recipe to whip up any night of the week.
Deep down I’m just a suburban Adelaide boy who likes to have a nice burger at Tea Tree Plaza and go to movies on Cheap Tuesday.
When I lived in Beijing in 1996, it was a horizontal city. If you wanted to go out for a burger, if you wanted to really treat yourself, you went to this place called the Jianguo Hotel. The architect had proudly described it as a perfect replica of a Holiday Inn that he had seen in Palo Alto, California.

There are places all over the world that are missing burger places.
I believe President Trump is more reasonable than he is generally perceived. President Trump uses strong rhetoric toward North Korea, but during the election campaign, he also said he could talk over a burger with Kim Jong-un. I am for that kind of pragmatic approach to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue.
Most people that always have something against hunting are the same ones that go out to a restaurant to eat a steak or order a burger.
There are two different things: there’s grilling, and there’s barbecue. Grilling is when people say, ‘We’re going to turn up the heat, make it really hot and sear a steak, sear a burger, cook a chicken.’ Barbecue is going low and slow.
For me, the most important thing to me is the next burger that goes out of the kitchen.
Whether you were talking about Pillsbury, Burger King, Godfather’s, the National Restaurant Association, in each one of those situations, I had a daunting problem that I had to solve. And I used the same business principles to approach the problem and, more importantly, solve the problem in every one of the situations.
After a pay per view, I know there is TV the next day. But after Raw, I like to eat bad. I can have some pizza, French fries, a burger, live it up, a glass of wine – red, of course.
If I crave a burger, I’m like, ‘Straight to In-N-Out.’
