I've been doing this Alton Brown recipe (without baking) recently. This is what he has to look forward to: a cold burger and drunken oblivion. He sits on his futon, the only piece of furniture he has left, and stares blankly into his grimy, off-white wall. His microwave works fine, but he doesn't see the point. He takes another sip of beer to coax it down. The first bite is a cold, uniform paste that gets caught in the back of his throat. The wax paper surrounding the burger crinkles as he peels it away.
