Don’t be alarmed by the headline folks. Briquettes Smokehouse in Ashtabula, Ohio, is operated largely by Browns’ fans, so it’s not like they’ve named a menu item after dismal Browns’ QB Brandon Weeden out of anything like respect.
Just the opposite. Via the Briquettes Facebook page, here’s what the “Weeden Burger,” next Sunday’s special, will look like:
“A tender all beef patty, cooked perfectly, and smothered in toppings which we systematically pick off right before your eyes while you watch helplessly; all before dropping the burger on the ground right before it is set down in front of you.”
To thicken the metaphor, Briquettes says they intend to serve the burger with a half-full glass of beer.

Thats brutal!!!!!!
Served on an old expired bun!
….with some Mike Phipps Tomatoes tossed at the burger.
It’s the Browns… Shouldn’t we view the glass as half empty?
I think this could really work. I love the idea of serving it with a glass half full. To avoid litigations from dropping it on the floor, I would recommend just serving an inconsistent burger. When the customer orders a weeden it’s the waitresses job to right then and there stop listening! Rare, Medium Rare, Well Done, whatever! I ordered mushrooms on top, where’s the cheese? too bad, wait till next your visit, you ordered a Weeden, what did you expect?
To fully simulate the Brandon Weeden experience, the burger should be crunchy, and the customer should choke on the burger when eating it. Get it? Choke in crunch time?!?!?! HA HAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
