I cheekily asked Mr Joe that I be cooked a burger sometime and this week my wish came true in the form of a crab burger from "Burger Bar" by Hubert Keller.  The burger is essentially a crab cake but the crab is held together with a scallop mousse.    We're fortunate in that we can buy freshly cooked spider crab and scallops easily and the end result was definitely worth the effort of picking out all the crab (although I didn't even have to do that).  It was a lovely, light, very "seafoody" tasting burger, served on a slice of soft white bread with mayo, tomato salad and some potato wedges.  And, as it wasn't a burger loaded with cheese and bacon, we felt we finished dinner off with some Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream.  Nyummm!
