This is our version of the original Menches Brothers Hamburger. It may sound unusual, but the coffee adds a rich taste and the brown sugar creates a delicious glaze.

2 pounds ground sirloin
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup instant coffee

Combine beef, sugar and coffee in a bowl and refrigerate, covered, for an hour or more to incorporate the flavors.

Form into patties and grill to your liking.

• Almost every aspect of life has its fashion. You know what I mean, one day you are in and the next you are out! In the wine world the fashionable grape du jour is Malbec. It was introduced into France through Hungary. A Malbec wine is quite intense. It's most often seen in Bordeaux as one of the five grapes allowed in a Bordeaux blend along with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. But its modern day status as a cult hero was established far away in Argentina where, it is said, the world's greatest Malbec varietals are produced.
