Topic Wiki

Introduction:
A truly delicious burger doesn't need any toppings, simply from the grill to your mouth. No plate no bun. Or if your more civilized a simple toasted bun. Your burger should start out simple, You could get creative but the base should be: 60/40. 60 (lean beef) / 40 (fat beef). Some people add a egg and or some breadcrumbs. Patties should be made by hand. Some even press a thumb print into the pattie to avoid shrinkage or just because they like to see that they can. Topped with salt and pepper on both sides right before grilling. When you grill you should flip once maybe maybe 2ce never more.

Burger Toppings:
Lettuce, Pickles (or Relish), Tomato (Thick Cut)
Pastrami, Beef Fry or Bacon, Smoked Brisket, Grilled Salami
Sunny Side Up Egg
Sautéed Onions, Peppers or Mushrooms

Just came back from a lunch. I got a burger with an egg on top, which I always do. As far as I can remember Ive never had to mention to have the yolk running, figured it was a davar pashut.
Today the egg was completely cooked. I was a little taken aback and it didnt taste nearly as good. 


Am I wrong in assuming it should always be running unless told otherwise?

A runny egg yolk is a little sauce packet waiting to be busted as close as possible before the burger is eaten. A hard egg is like a really old congealed packet of sauce. :-E (yes, vomit)

Egg on burger = runny egg. Never heard of putting a hard yolk on a burger, that just sounds wrong

In case all y'all are always grilling your burgers, you should try on a skillet or griddle once.  They're delicious.

Just take a blob of meat, press onto cooking surface with your spatula or press, flip and do same thing on other side, fry onions in the grease that's pooling like mad, and then toast the buns in the same grease at the end (they soak it all up and then you have a greasy toasted bun).

It's way better than grilled, IMO.

Sadly, it smoked up my whole house which doesn't thrill my wife.

thats what I do... i just take a big blob of meat from package, put on searing hot skillet, press down to form patty, sprinkle salt, wait then flip.. press more.. more salt and remove.. eat

A must for my burgers: Worsticire sauce (or however it's spelled). It's awesome! Real Umami (or however it's spelled). Just make sure you get the one without fish ingredients. Could be put in the meat, or if you're a purist, put in an aioli or sauce, or do both.

I prepatty before

Im single and live alone. but even with guests it no big deal.. we are talking high heat hard contact, its cooking the burger like a steak sort of, i cook chicken cutlets this way too, more heat and contact means the center cooks faster and its less dry.

I dont like this on a gas grill.. yes you lose juices and the flames shooting up burns it
