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

If someone has beer in the house that means it wasn't consumed yet.

Opened in the 1920s, Kewpee Burger in Racine, Wisconsin (30 mi. So. of Milwaukee) is one of my favorite burger joints in the country. My father grew up there and often travels from California, where he's lived since the 50s, just to get a burger, usually on his birthday. I, of course, accompany him any chance I get. Google it and you'll find plenty of info.


Also, while in Racine, we always stop at a local bakery to pick up a Kringle - a very labor-intensive Danish style pastry, unique to the area that have been made there for over 100 years. There are several Kringle bakeries in Racine (many are Kosher) that have been in operation for close to a century. All are excellent, but individual locals all have their favorite.

Several times a year we mail order a few, and, our local Trader Joe's Market carries them from O&H Bakery in the Fall/Winter. Though nothing is like a fresh one moments out of the oven, they are still amazing.

(A bit OT, but dessert after a great burger is always a good choice.)

Agreed. For meatloaf, of course use eggs and crumbs. For a burger patty, just use good meat with the right ration of fat-to-lean, and S&P.

A good maillard (caramelization) is the key IMO. I use cast iron and a heavy patty press.

I use this

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UKJNEJU/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_d-RvybTP15Q90

during the cooking process on all patties, steaks and chops.
 I hand shape and keep it somewhat loose. Course grind as well.
