This Memorial day my family and I headed on up to McKinney Texas to hang out with my parents and of course, barbecue!
While my Apple-wood bacon wrapped onions were soaking in a molasses marinade I started preparing the roasted edamame salad.
Cutting the corn for the salad
Placing the edamame into the bowl
I put the edamame, corn, scallion, garlic, olive oil and a few spices in a bowl, mixed them up then spread it all out in a pan to get roasted in the oven.
OK, salad is roasting, time to make the olive spread.
Chopping the olives, capers, garlic and olive oil
I mixed up a half cup green olives, half cup black olives, tablespoon capers, some garlic and olive oil to spread on the burgers. Once that was done I grabbed my appetizers and threw them on the grill.
These little guys needed constant basting while they grilled
It was a constant flip and baste to make sure they didn’t get burnt. After a few minutes they were ready.

I went back in to chill the edamame salad and prepare the burgers for the grill. Each burger patty consisted of a meat patty, topped with smoked gouda cheese, topped again with the other half of the burger patty. I placed some boy scout BBQ spices on top and threw them on the grill.

Once the burgers were finished I took them inside where I put the olive spread on top and served it on Italian sweet bread. The roasted edamame salad was cooled off and was paired with a fruit salad.

And to feel young again, the drink of choice was raspberry lemonade with a Twizzlers straw.

And last but not least was the dessert. I melted some dark Godiva chocolate, mixed in some chipotle spice to give it a little heat but contrasted it with fresh strawberries to dip.
Godiva, chipotle and strawberries...mmmmmm...
My family really enjoyed the meal and I’m looking forward to my next big BBQ!

Excellent work, bro. This was easily an all time top 5 burger. The olive spread was incredible and worked well with the burger. the ooey gooey cheese was awesome. The gouda was a good choice (no, i’m not going to say the gouda was gooda. I’m just not).
It was incredible on a scale of 1 to 10 15!
