Fatburger®
Southern California - the birthplace of famous hamburgers from
McDonald's, Carl's Jr., and In-n-Out Burger - is home to another
thriving burger chain that opened its first outlet in 1952. Lovie
Yancey thought of the perfect name for the 1/3-pound burgers she
sold at her Los Angeles burger joint: Fatburger. Now with over 41
units in California, Nevada, and moving into Washington and
Arizona, Fatburger has become the food critics' favorite, winning
"best burger in town" honors with regularity. The secret is the
seasoned salt used on a big 'ol lean beef patty. And there's no
ketchup on the stock version, just mayo, mustard, and relish.
Replace the ground beef with ground turkey and you've got Fatburger's
Turkeyburger all up and cloned.
1/3 pound lean ground beef
seasoned salt
ground black pepper
1 plain hamburger bun
1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped iceberg lettuce
1 tomato slice
1/2 tablespoon mustard
1/2 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon chopped onion
3 dill pickle slices (hamburger slices)
Optional
1 slice American cheese
Grill the unsuspecting beef patty in a hot frying pan.
Slap the hot side and the cold side together.
1. Form the ground beef into a patty that is about 1 inch wider
than the circumference of the hamburger bun.
2. Preheat a non-stick frying pan to medium/high heat. Fry the
patty in the pan for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until done. Season
both sides of the beef with seasoned salt and ground black pepper.
3. As the meat cooks prepare the bun by spreading approximately 1/2
tablespoon of mayonnaise on the face of the top bun.
4. Place the lettuce on the mayonnaise, followed by the tomato slice.
5. When the beef is done place the patty on the bottom bun.
6. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of mustard over the top of the beef
patty.
7. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of relish over the mustard.
8. Sprinkle the chopped onion onto the relish.
9. Arrange the pickles on the chopped onion.
10. Bring the two halves of the burger together and serve with
gumption.
Makes 1 burger.
Tidbits
If you want cheese on your burger, put a slice of American cheese
on the face of the bottom bun before adding the beef patty. The
heat from the meat will melt the cheese.

Fiddle Faddle® & Screaming Yellow Zonkers®
I know the most popular candy corn out there is Cracker Jack,
but my favorite has always been Screaming Yellow Zonkers and
Fiddle Fiddle from Lincoln Snacks Company. Fiddle Faddle is
butter toffee-coated popcorn with almonds thrown in. Screaming
Yellow Zonkers (you gotta love the name) is similar, but without
the almonds. The secret to the yellow coloring of the Zonkers:
buttered popcorn.
Fiddle Faddle (butter toffee with almonds)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 bags plain or natural-flavored microwave popcorn
1/2 cup roasted almonds
Zonkers
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 bags butter-flavored microwave popcorn
1. For either recipe, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, water
and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. You're going to
bring the candy to 265-275 degrees, or what is known as the hard
ball stage. For this it's best to use a candy thermometer. If you
don't have one, don't worry. Drip the candy into a small glass of
cold water. If the candy forms a very hard, yet slightly pliable
ball, bingo, you're there. Watch your mixture closely so that it
doesn't boil over.
2. While candy cooks, pop both bags of popcorn and spread about 2
quarts or 1 1/3 bags of popcorn (plus almonds for Fiddle Faddle)
on one large or two small cookie sheets. Put the popcorn in your
oven set on its lowest temperature. This will keep the popcorn hot
so that the candy will coat better.
3. When your candy has reached the hard ball stage, add the vanilla.
4. Pull the popcorn from the oven and, working quickly, pour the
candy over the popcorn in thin streams. Mix the popcorn so that
each kernel is coated with candy, put the popcorn back into the oven
for five more minutes, then stir once again. This will help to coat
each kernel. You can repeat this step once more if necessary to get
all of the popcorn coated. Pour popcorn onto a large sheet of wax
paper to cool. Spread the popcorn out, but be careful...it's hot.
5. When popcorn is cool, break it up and immediately put it into a
tightly sealed container, such as Tupperware. This will ensure that
it stays fresh. This stuff gets stale very quickly in moist climates
if left out.
Makes about 4 quarts.
