burg report: I drunkenly ate White Castle Sat. night and regretted it all throughout Saturday. Goddamn.

A burger so good it caused you to go back in time and regret not eating it before you actually ate it? I wanna try that Burg.

Caramelized onions are overrated, not in that they aren't good, but more that I feel like it's something you should plan and incorporate into the burg instead of as the default.

This is a wrong opinion and you are a bad person. Onions and beef are meant for each other and God loves all his children, raw, grilled, or caramelized. None are overrated.

Also, most people eat grilled onions. It takes for loving ever to really carmalize onions.

This. I've had carmelized onions on a burger and it was....weird. Definitely prefer raw red onion or grilled sweet onions over anything else on a burg.

I caramelize the hell out of onions for burgers. Most times it's drat near onion jam. But it goes great with spicy or acidic condiments.

I've burged a lot and one of the weirder but awesome burg toppings I've made is spaghetti squash. Just oil and butter on the squash and make it like you normally would and then shred it with a fork. It comes out string, nice and crunchy and adds a great flavor.

Bonus pic of a previous experimental burg.

Lame post but no less delicious.

I had Wendy's for the first time in a very long time yesterday:

Dave's Triple (bypass)
just as greasy as I remember, but the new buns are a really nice touch.
I don't miss sesame seeds.
Could use a touch more cheese, but other than that I am still satisfied.

Square patties rule.

When I smash a burg on highest heat cast iron, I feel like I get too close to burnt on the edges instead of crispy before it's cooked. Also so much smoke. What's the secret?

french onion burg from the other night, i went a bit heavy on the bechamel, but i think the french onion jam may have been one of the best things ive made. also our house buns are like 30% lard and smell like a glazed donut when they're toasting

I got this instead:



Bacon beef cube.



Four loving patties, four slices of cheese, and eight pieces of bacon.



It was...



Delicious.



Thank you mystery Wendy's chef. You are truly a God among men.

The tons of smoke is just part of the process unfortunately. If your smashburg is getting too close to burnt before getting done, you might be making the patty a bit too large? I think ideal smashburgs are in the ~3oz range, and you want to cook em barely a minute and a half or so on the first side, then ~45 seconds on the other side while melting cheese, and you're done.

There are several stages but basically it comprises: sweating, being full, and smelling like meat.

Various stages include:
Satisfaction with a slight scent of beef in your wake.

You feel overly full. Uncomfortably so. Your body tries to sweat the meat our of your pores because it can't digest it fast enough.

Hot and sweaty, maybe clammy palms because you're fighting back vomit.
You reek of loving meat and everyone knows it.

Trolling surely?

Eat 1-2 pound of cooked meat in a matter of minutes.

Unless you're an athlete/brick poo poo house you will experience the meat sweats.
