Brave Burgermeister Myth in Culinarypunk | World Anvil
Please forgive the mess while Culinarypunk undergoes an art update and article refresh!

 
(Verse 1)
In the land of Burger Plains, where flavors soar,
Lived a hero, the Burgermeister, we adore.
With a spatula in hand, and a heart so bold,
He faced a mighty dragon, as the legends told.
  (Chorus)
Oh, Burgermeister, a culinary knight,
He fought for what's right, with all of his might.
Through sizzlin' battles and a dragon's roar,
He saved the Burger Plains forevermore.
  (Verse 2)
Gnashgullet the dragon, fierce and grand,
Threatened our beloved burger land.
But the Burgermeister, with courage so true,
Rallied the people, formed a brave crew.
  (Chorus)
  (Bridge)
In the heat of the battle, flames danced high,
The Burgermeister reached for the sky.
With a final flip and a secret recipe,
He defeated the dragon, set the Burger Plains free.
  (Chorus x2)

Thank you! I had such a good time recording, this would have been 3-4 takes if it wasn't for all my stopping to giggle xD This is slightly cut down, the full version has an additional 3 verses but it felt like it was already dragging so much. I may release the 'director's cut' some day xD   I've really been digging the idea of this big hero who did something that saved so many and changed the land for the better, but at a large cost. I think part of the fun of Culinarypunk is having this really really ridiculous setting but still being able to tell interesting stories within it. He's a moose man who fought a dragon with a magic spatula and had songs written about how awesome he was, but an entire city was lost and he disappeared soon after. Plus the Burgoda will make an awesome dungeon for the TTRPG party to raid ahahahah and I mean, I don't know, there's a slight possibility that the ancient dragon may not have died down there and could potentially be a terrible terrible thing to come across hundreds of feet below ground xD. I don't know if I'm doing the story justice, but it's been a fun weekend working it all out :D

I mean this is just great, I could totally see a children's performance of this at like a park or community theatre happening. And actually recording the song, *chef's kiss*, just perfect. I ended up writing a song for this prompt as well, but I didn't even once think of going that extra step and making an actual recording. So cool.

Thank you!! Hahahah oh man, I can totally see it now! Music teacher on the side of the stage sitting on a stool with their guitar, the lil kids in homemade costumes of the Burgermeister and Gnashgullet, that one kid dressed as a cactus instead of a tree xD
