Go Ahead And Boast...Are Your Burgers Better?

[CanDB]

There are a number of foods that many of us can make, and have as good or better results than what we experience at a restaurant. Then again, some chefs/cooks are deserving of their professional status, because they are so good at what they make, and in a huge variety of dishes.

But I would suggest that many of us can make a really good burger, or for me, cheeseburger.

I continue to strive to make a better burger. I change the spice combinations, as well as the spreads, and the buns. Lately I've added chili to see if I can partially mimic a few of the better burger joints we love to eat at.

I should upgrade the lean ground beef I use to include a portion of a better cut of meat. But hey, I love the juiciness of the burger as is. But I will step up my game soon.

What's your "secret(s)" in making a better burger? Are they sloppy and messy, like so many love 'em? What cuts of meat do you use?

Lets build a better burger together!!

Oh no.....I have been canceled or cancelled (whichever spelling you prefer)!!!

Burgers, yeah. I mostly use ground beef, sometimes ground buffalo or elk meat. My dad showed me this thing with cottage cheese a couple years ago where you mix a small container of cottage cheese (I forget the size) in with a pound of the ground meat, then season and cook from there. They're a little crumbly but they keep in the moisture and flavor a lot better and taste great.

Interesting!!!:thumb: Might have to check that out. Probably good for you too.

Organic ground beef, a thin ham slice is a must try at least once on the beef patty below the pepper jack cheese on a toasted sourdough bun with homemade mayonnaise.

Sounds good!!

So I got the idea from Highland Tap and Burger. Then they turned around and stopped selling the burger I loved so much a few months later.

so I made my own.

hamburger patty
Philadelphia Jalapeno Cream Cheese spread
red onions
Pepper Jack
American Cheese
KC Masterpiece Original BBQ
ketchup
(Insert other toppings of choice)
on a fluffy sesame seed bun
cooked medium on the bbq grille.

served with fries or tots and an ice cold beer of choice.

How's this sound for a hamburger, called Smokin' Jack, from Tommy's Pizzeria in my good city?

"....half pound patty, lemon-garlic aioli, smoked gouda, Jack Daniels bacon jam, cilantro cabbage coleslaw, homemade potato sticks, spicy pickled onions, on our in-house baked brioche bun,"

OR

The Wonder Boy at KYU GRILL, also from The Peg.

"Grilled AAA Angus beef patty, crisp shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, garlic-mayo, chopped pork belly & spicy kimchi cream sauce, served in between Harvest Bakery's Everything Bun."

Two of the best in the country per a recent contest.
