Any tips on time and temp? I was just having this discussion

samspade you make a valid point!

Tex_77 there is no such thing as grilling season!

calldoctoday Understood. I’m into recreating ‘cheap’ burgers. Fancy burgers are great but there is something about American cheese and ‘special’ sauce that is Americana on a bun

calldoctoday I was disappointed that the pickles didn’t appear in the shot. Lol. It took me longer to set up the photo than it did to eat it.

Tex_77 there is no wrong way to burger!

Dan Vesel that is profound advice!

House made bacon onion garlic burger patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles on a brioche bun. Take that Big Mac

I haven’t noticed anything cheese related but I have noticed brats that are heavy with onion or garlic tend to turn faster. Letting them air dry for a couple of days (rather than wrapping in plastic daily) in the display case seems to give them extra life. I’m freezing everything within 4 days normally.

twilliams At the shop I make a pre-seasoned patty we refer to as the BOG burger. Bacon, Onion, Garlic. It’s made up with trim on the lean-ish side and to that I add bacon ends of pieces at a ratio of about 20%. I will also sprinkle in dried minced garlic & onion, Worcestershire, dried chives, black pepper and salt…I do this by eye. We sell a TON of them! I mix all of the dry ingredients with the trim meat and bacon prior to grinding twice through a 7mm plate. Before the second grind I splash in the Worcestershire and mix lightly.

Tex_77 We don’t have enough chicken wings to keep up with superbowl demand so the boss wanted me to take a picture of some buffalo chicken lollipops that she could post online to encourage people to look past wings and try some other parts.

I thought it would be a sad party with only one plate of food so I also made fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, broccoli and chicken salad, meatballs, ribs, stuffed jalapenos, chips, dips, etc… I had a sampling of things and gave everything else to an out of work neighbor.

Tex_77 I made all of the things!

Jamieson22 That is awesome!

@dennyo I work at a butcher shop but I’d still consider it ‘home’ ground. The addition of pork fat was amazing!

Tex_77 It’s funny you mention McDonald’s because I was totally going for the drive-in burger joint fast food kinda vibe. Nailed it! My beef was on the higher end though. I was making summer sausage at the shop the other day and the only available product I had to work with was super lean beef roasts so I supplemented with pork back fat. Easily the best summer sausages I’ve made and the juiciest of burgers.

kyle It’s a mixture of sweet relish, bottled hot sauce and harissa seasoning. A spicy riff on ‘secret sauce’!

I made a single perfect cheeseburger

HerbcoFood I see that option in every section of the website except this one for some reason

HerbcoFood Thanks! I’d post new content to this section of the website but there isn’t an option to start a new topic?

I made a Beef Bulgogi bHoagie with Beef From Butcher Butcher
