Hey! Al here, I'm not a chef just a cook passionate about lighting up the grill. Super into burgers, one of my obsessions.. they look so simple, yet so complex.
I just finished eating some burgers I did today for one of my teammate's birthday and decided to write down some thoughts about what I think are a must in a burger, what do you guys think?
> Has to be freshly ground meat. Mix of chuck and fat, looking for 20-30% fat content.
> Keep it simple: The perfect burger is beef and salt.. maybe pepper. Do not 'over-top' them.
> You want a hot grill, the hottest. And once it's on the grill, do not touch it. 2-3 min per side and flip.
> Yeah, you need cheese. American, the best one.. melts so perfect.
> Bun? Potato rolls.. soft and consistent. Perfect bun : patty ratio.
- (Wasn't lucky today finding them (potato buns) in the supermarket, had to buy this "artisanal" bread they had)
Here is a picture of my lunch!
