The Best Burger in NYC... HIMYM last night was classic

I think we all have one of these - I ate a tuna melt somewhere in my early 20s that was perhaps the most delicious sandwich I have ever consumed, but I cannot remember where I actually ate that tuna melt, and try as I might, I cannot recreate it at home. Marshall's search for his lost burger was dead-on; the best spoken line during last night's HIMYM episode was Barney (of course) saying "This burger is so good, I want to sew my ass shut." I think that EVERY SINGLE TIME I eat my brother's BBQ chicken.

So, without further ado - Marshall's ode to the burger speech - I wish I could find a video of him actually saying this - if anyone finds it online, please email me so I can add to the post, as it deserves a special place in our hearts and our blog.

Marshall: "Just a burger! Robin it is so much more than just a burger.I mean that first bite. Oh, what heaven that first bite is.The bun like a sesame freckled breast of an angel resting gently on ketchup and mustard below- flavors mingling in a seductive pudduah (?) And then a pickle. The most playful little pickle. And then a slice of tomato. a leaf of lettuce, and a...patty of ground beef so exquisite: Swirling in your mouth- breaking apart and combining again in a fugue of sweet, savory. So...delightful. This was no mere sandwich of grilled meat, toasted bread, Robin. This was God speaking to us through food."
