Maybe a little too much food snobbery in play here regarding treating fricking hamburger like it’s a quality steak?



It's not so much that - Just that those grey burgers you sometimes get are usually a product of overworking the meat. So when people put 15 thing into their meat, you know there's a lot of mushing going on in there. Meaning there's a higher chance of grey/dense and not as juicy or falling apart.

a lot of people in here making meatballs and meatloaf.

salt and pepper is all you need.

the secret to a good burger is the bun. pretzel, brioche or kaiser preferably.

I Ike to add some bison to my ground chuck. Like about a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio. Also, I love roasted, peeled, seeded poblano/hatch/Anaheim peppers as a topper.

Some of you guys know how to frick up simple ground meat.
Im so confused?

Its fricking ground meat. The fact you think it is so holy that adding things like onions/sauces/cheese ruins it is hilarious


This board has officially jumped the shark now that adding things to ground meat is now unsacred

50% ground beef and 50% lamb with Tzatziki, lettuce and tomato on whole wheat bun.

The Breslin in NY serves one similar and it's very good, especially on the grill.

Just a little Liquid Smoke gives it a great flavor. Burger King does this too.
