Hamburger Man

The Hamburger Man is actually a real person. He is the connoisseur of all things beef and hails from Mexico City. You can monitor his activities at  his blog. [I know, it’s in Spanish. If you don’t speak it you can get the gist of things using Google Translate or something similar.]  I have added another character to my cast of tourists based on the Hamburger Man even though he is technically not a tourist.  From time to time he may make an appearance around these parts. It’s worth paying attention to what he has to say. Like all the others, he was carved out of a solid block of basswood (linden for you brits) and painted with tender loving care and given like a million coats of clear-coat to protect him through his travels. His extra special touch, however, is the belt buckle which I fashioned out of sterling silver and a lab-grown star ruby which represents the lovely red juices which run from the perfect hamburger. Enough said.  Let’s eat.
