Burgers & Dogs

One question I am always asked is this " How do you make the best burgers".

Here is the formula for success. Always start with fresh ground beef. I like an 80/20 mix. Too lean and you have no taste too fatty and well you get the greasys. Never freeze and thaw. Frozen beef is ok but just not as good as fresh. Next cooking temp is important but this one is a must. Once you start cooking the beef never, never press down on the patty and push the juice out of the burger. Those are the secrets now lets eat.

Ok, hot dogs. I love a good dog. Heres what to look for.
I like a natural casing dog. I like them boiled steamed, grilled and flame broiled. Mustard, relish, onion and yes I like chili, cheese and a Chicago dog too. I never put catsup or mayo on a hot dog.

Start here and try them all!
