Hola from Spain

[Jerod Broussard]

I crave a burger every time I am in a restaurant......then order something else.

I'll order if I am in your part of Spain.

Welcome and thanks for the support.

Welcome to the pit AlanInSitges! Glad to hear we have representation in Spain! I was actually in Sitges in October, spent a few days there during a wedding I was attending. It's a lovely village, with lots of good tapas and pintxos restaurants. I did enjoy classic Spanish/South American bbq with picanha among other things. They did that very well. Not so many American places though, great to hear that you are doing well with your three restaurants.

Welcome to the Pit.

Hopefully you've noticed Meathead's Steakhouse Steakburger listed under hamburgers. I think that burger belongs on a restaurant menu.

I'd cook it exactly the way Meathead suggests and then offer it with caramelized onions and his Brioche hamburger buns.👌

I've grilled them many times. They look beautiful too.

Welcome to The Pit AlanInSitges! What a cool story, I've read similar things about American burgers not tasting right in other countries....not sure why, it's just grilled meat. But you're doing burgers right it sounds like, congrats on your success! By the way, how do you pronounce Stiges? I'm guessing "Stiggs"?

Hey there BBQ people! My name's Alan, I'm an American guy living in a cute li'l beach town called Sitges outside Barcelona. I've lived here a long time, and about four years ago I got fed up that the burgers in this country really suck. It seemed like every month a new "American" burger restaurant would open up, and each was a little bit worse than the last. I decided to open a little place and sell real American burgers. Three years later we have three restaurants and I've decided that what this country needs now is some real barbecue We have a space and a Fast Eddy pellet smoker on order, counting down to Easter weekend when our high season starts.

I've been lurking here for quite a while and decided to pay my fair share, so here I am, looking forward to getting to know everybody and especially eager for any tips from restaurant people!
