Forgot to take any food pictures, but took the missus to The Nook in St Paul for lunch. Their burgers are SOFA KING delicious !
I’m committed to figuring out smashburgers. They’re tougher to make than I expected. After those smash tacos though, I think I have it down. I’m going to try regular burgers sometime this weekend.Lately I've sorta taken a shine to thinner patties, thinner as in 6 per lb, quick seared on fairly high heat, then stackin' 'em two or three high.
Bookmarked. These are going to be great on the Blackstone...
I've just had dinner but now I want a second one.Basic bar burger at a place called The Mason Jar in Mahwah, NJ with a Captain Lawrence IPA. Great work lunch!View attachment 836029View attachment 836030

I LOVE my Blackstone. I’ve never really used my grills much over the years, but this Blackstone get used at least 1-2 a week, year round.after doing a few smash burgers stove top on the cast iron pan has made me decide to purchase a flat top grill. makes sense since 80% of my cooking is in a cast iron pan. I have found burgers are best on steel, except I have made some reverse seared 1/2lb smoked bacon burgers those are extraordinary.
No beer, but yesterday I finally made it to Louis Lunch in New Haven, CT, the restaurant that claims to have invented hamburgers.
Unfortunately it was a disappointment. I waited about 4 minutes shy of an hour for 1 burger. They have a sign that says they only cook medium rare but it came out well done. They don’t season the meat either, like, at all.
I’m glad I made it but also glad it’s now in the past. I doubt I’ll be back.
