How do YOU make a great burger?  Include your favorite 'extra's'.....I like to grill the patty and place it on a toasted french roll.  A bit of mustard, a few pickles, some lettuce.

You see....there you go getting me all hungry n' stuff with all this burger talk.

IMO the best burgers consist of what you like, because that satisfation of knowing you hit the spot with all the tastes, and flavors you were craving, get you in that happy spot.

With that said.... I believe the best overall burgers I have had or made, were all pre-seasoned before cooking. Other than commercial, the home burger seasoned after the fact only gives me a half smile for the effort.

C'mon TammyS, I'm trying to stay down to my "fighting weight".... just kidding. But all this yummy burger talk has me wanting to run downstairs and heat up the pan.....LOL!

Seasonings- depends on what I am doing. I am a big fan of gourmet sea salts including "Flur de sal" form france, but that is not an everyday thing. I prefer to use the gourmet salts because each one has a different character. I also prefer essence seasonings, not salted seasonings such as Garlic Salt, etc.

My go to is-  A gourmet salt(or Lowreys Season Salt, as a back up), onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley flakes.  I some times use just one of these, a few of these, or all of these.  But always, a salt is involved. Depends on my mood.

Iodized salt tastes medicine like, bloats you , and is removed of precious minerals. 

Expierence gourmet salts....most pro cooks use at least Kosher Salt, or a gourmet salt, but never iodized salt....

Yes, you can taste the difference. :thumbsup:

Recipe: Cilantro Pesto Beef Burger
Recipe from Hubert Keller
"Burger Bar"

Five Fabulous Burgers: Hubert Keller, Charlie Ayers and more

Cilantro Pesto Beef Burger

Serves 4

Time-pressed cooks may substitute a purchased basil pesto and sauteed onions, says Keller.

2 pounds ground chuck, chilled

Sea salt and black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 slices provolone cheese

4 ciabatta buns

1 large tomato, sliced

Large handful arugula

Cilantro Arugula Pesto

1 bunch fresh cilantro, stemmed

12 roasted, salted macadamia nuts

1 or 2 garlic cloves, to taste

2 cups packed arugula

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

1/3 teaspoon grated lime zest

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano


1. For the pesto: Finely chop the nuts and garlic in a food processor. Add the cilantro, arugula, lime juice and zest and process to coarse purée. With the machine running, add the olive oil in a thin stream and process until smooth. Pulse in the cheese and season to taste. The pesto will keep, chilled, up to two days.

2. In a bowl, mix the meat, ¼

cup of the pesto and 1½ teaspoons pepper. Divide the meat into four evenly sized patties and chill several hours or overnight.


3. Preheat the barbecue for the onions. Whisk together the oil, mustard, honey and vinegar, and set aside. Thread one or two skewers through each onion slice. Brush the onions with the oil mixture and season with salt and pepper, then grill them for 15 minutes, flipping several times as they caramelize.

4. Season the meat on both sides with salt and pepper, and grill for 7 to 10 minutes to desired doneness. For the last minute or two of cooking, drape a slice of cheese over each burger to melt. 5. To serve, spread the bun bottoms with pesto. Top with tomato and arugula. Add the patties and then a grilled onion.

Pappy's is way cool, but expieriment, if it does not work go back to your "go to". 

That combo is triple, tre, kool with me...I can almost taste it as I am a garlic head...unfortunately my wife is not.. so I have to sacrifice my desires :thumbsdown:

Garlic bread, mushroom, jack burger sounds like a hit. (Only for those who are garlic lovers!  Sounds like straight garlic....which I love...Otherwise, create a substitute) :thumbsup:
