			<description><![CDATA[<p>Alberta is the place for beef, and what better way to showcase this wonderful product than with burgers? Calgary has seen a lot of great burger spots open up and I have tried quite a few of them over the years, including one of the newest burger bars, Class Clown Hamburgers.</p><br><p>In this episode, we talk about cooking burgers, favourite styles, thin patty vs. thick patty, cheeses, the origins of the smash technique, and the review of the week. My wife, Jo, also makes an appearance to talk a little about food nostalgia and shares her memories of a distinctly Canadian connection to the burger universe.</p><br><p>Thank you, as always, for listening. Please rate, review, and share with your friends if you like.

In the case of the books I cover this week, they are memoirs that inspired me and helped guide me to where I am today.  I hope that you enjoy this week’s episode. Please rate us. It would help a lot, and I appreciate your continued love and support.
