Golden-fried onions, bacon-jam, pastrami — the list of toppings and condiments for a unique and tasty gourmet burger can be endless. Stacking burgers is not an easy culinary skill to learn, though, so the Wüsthof gourmet burger knife is here to change that.

Slapping some patties on the grill to celebrate a nice summer day has become somewhat of a pastime for us carnivorous men. And sure, the simple cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle combination is one that never gets old. However, if you’re looking to take your eating experience at backyard barbecues to the next level, enter the world of gourmet burgers appropriately with Wüsthof gourmet burger knives.

Designed to slice through a heaping burger with ease, the knife boasts a unique blade shape that’s perfect for all burger necessities: a serrated section towards the bolster and straight-edged along the center.

You might be asking, “Can’t I just use two separate knives for the same effect?” Sure you can, but not quite. Slicing a massive burger into smaller portions is next to impossible without making a mess or mangling your bun to shreds. Wüsthof’s innovative creation makes burger slicing clean and easy.

And, to make it worth your while, the knives are durable and versatile enough to serve other purposes in the kitchen. With multiple cuts on each blade, it’s a great culinary companion for spreading butter on toast or pancakes in the morning, cutting an equally loaded cold-cut for lunch, or a slicing a tender and juicy sirloin steak for supper. The knives are also manufactured with a high-carbon stainless steel, which both looks great and ensures the knifes longevity in the kitchen.

Available in sets of four, the Wusthof Gourmet Burger Knife is priced at $99.95.

Dark rums for whiskey fans
These rums are a great choice for whiskey drinkers
rum bottles

There’s no disputing the appeal of whisk(e)y. Whether it's single malt Scotch whisky, bourbon, rye whiskey, Irish whiskey, or others. There’s something special about this barrel-aged spirit. But it’s not the only aged spirit, and if you’re limiting your sipping to this style, you’re missing out on some other special, flavorful spirit. Especially dark rum.

I’ve spent years imbibing the various forms of whiskey. But every now and then, I branch out and pour myself a glass of dark rum instead. Unsurprisingly, the two spirits have some of the same aromas and flavors. Since both are matured in wood barrels, they impart flavors like caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, and oak (among others). If you don’t already, you should branch out and add dark rum to your aged spirits rotation.

Gins so good you’ll want to drink them neat
You might want to at least sip these gins before mixing with them
Tanqueray No 10

Gin is one of the only spirits that you see on a shelf, and regardless of the quality, you assume you’re going to take it home and mix it with other ingredients to make a cocktail. To many, the thought of drinking gin neat never even occurs to them. Even if they enjoy the juniper, floral, and botanical aromas and flavors of their favorite gin, they still prefer to mix it with other ingredients to make it more palatable.

But it also shouldn’t surprise you that some people enjoy drinking their gin neat or at least prefer a gin that they could drink neat if they chose to do so. Personally, I am one of those people. I enjoy gin so much that I try my best not to mask its flavors with overpowering ingredients. Sure, I like a good Gin & Tonic from time to time. But it’s definitely going to be heavier on gin than tonic if you know what I mean.
