1 tb Worcestershire sauce
MMMMM--------------------------TOPPINGS-------------------------------
American cheese
I'd forgotten about adding Worcestershire sauce to the meat - lately
I've been getting lazy and buying pre-made patties.
One sauce I like on burgers is A1. But, oddly, not on steak. If you ever
see me put A1 on aa steak in a restaurant you can bet your bippy I'll
never eat there again.
As for cheese, I saw an interesting vid with Tony Bourdain and another chef talking about the perfect burger. The potato bun was important,
you want a bun that's grilled to give it a little crispness.
My favourite cheese for a burger is bleu cheese. Yellow cheese is OK. Especially rat cheese or Colby.
The burger shouldn't be too big, you want each bite to have all of the condiments.
Diameter, sure. What about thickness?
The point they made that I remembered was that they insisted that you should use American cheese in a Proper Burger, because of the way it
melts andthe flavor when it's heated. I've tried that lately in restaurants and while feeling slightly odd for choosing a manufactured cheese product over Havarti, Swiss or Cheddar, They Were Right.
Gimme a bleu cheese and bacon burger with tomato, onion and mayo any
day. Or this guy .... with all but the bleu cheese.
