Fry the burgers, put some pickles and sauce on a lightly seared bottom bun.

Sauce: 2 tbs of mayo, 3 ts of mustard, 1 tbs of white wine vinegar. Some pickle and onion relish, small part of garlic, pinch of salt and some paprika powder.

I always get into the breadcrumbs and eggs debate here. I think it's convenient without negatively altering the flavour, but it's not a hard necessity.

I like the cheese partially melted, which happened because of the heat the meat gives off. If you like it melted, just put it on while the burgers are still baking, after the last flip.

I do agree about the double stacking, it was just for fun. It was impossible to eat normally so I made the rest single stacked. Just don't make a double stack if you don't like double stacks, it's that simple.

Toppings can be whatever you want. Personally I just use two slices of cheese and ketchup when I make them, but I'm not opposed to standard stuff like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mushroom, bacon, egg, jalapenos, other sauces, etc.

The patty should just be 80/20 ground beef (can be lower fat, but shouldn't be higher than that), seasoned with salt on both sides before cooking and pepper after cooking. If you're adding egg, breadcrumbs, mayo, seasoning, or any other crap to the patty before forming it you're doing it wrong. Fry the patty with no oil on high heat at first to get a crisp outer layer, then lower a bit after about a minute to get it to evenly cook without burning. Repeat for the other side.

Wrong wrong wrong
The term burger refers to something that is held together with a binder and baked

Anybody ever eat at The Counter?

How the fuck do they get that perfect beef crust on all sides without deep frying?

They have to deep fry their patties right?
>>
>>7848526
Probably just like it's done with steaks. Sear the shit out of both sides then cook on low heat if it's not cooked through all the way.
>>
>>7842212
This is the biggest goddamn sack of bullshit I've ever seen.

It's a fucking burger, you don't need to make it autistic with all this reddit tier garbage. A good burger is good because of the quality of beef you're using and how well the cook doesn't burn it.

Everything else is just extra unnecessary shit unless it's a slice of cheese. I don't care what cheese, I'm simple as fuck so I just go with American or pepper jack.

Toast the bun with whatever just make sure it's toasted

That's it. That's all it takes to make a good burger, if you fuck that up or add a bunch of bullshit that doesn't go on it like fucking fish sauce glaze, you shouldn't be in a kitchen.
>>
>>7848577

That's what I thought at first... but the clue is that the edges/sides of the patties have a perfect layer of crust also...

there is no way they can crisp the sides of a patty in a perfect layer without deep frying...

Think chicken nugget & perfect crust on all sides.

I wouldn't be supprised if The Counter even breaded or starched their meat patty first...

mixed the meats together, and instead of mixing in ingredients, formed nice tight patties, then marinated them in the mix for about 20 minutes per side in the fridge. don't normally marinate minced meats, but it worked out well.

then grilled over hot mesquite lump "charcoal". shit was juicy and fantastic.

I'm curious as to why you chose those particular meats. Ground pork is very mild in flavor (assuming we're talking supermarket pork here), as is the super lean ground beef.

I'm curious as to why you didn't use something like brisket or short rib, as those are much more flavorful.

Umami?
>>
>>7853911

Since when are either eggs or breadcrumbs umami? Especially when compared to beef?

they're binding agents. The breadcrumbs could be considered filler to help stretch a little bit of meat to make more patties.
>>
>>7853919

i also often hear of burgers being there to 'absorb/retain the juices'. which i think is pretty stupid. if the juices are absorbed into bread, they aren't gonna make the patty juicy, they're gonna make it mushy.
