The Rustic Burger at Dogfish Head Alehouse with caramelized mushrooms is my local fave.

Red Robin gives Five Guys a run for their (or your) money.

But I just like home-grilled 85% lean black angus burgers. Sometimes I blend in a few tablespoons of shredded Italian cheese and some dried hot peppers. Coat both sides with dry mustard powder, garlic powder, fresh ground pepper, coriander, and a bit of salt.

Grill them medium to medium rare, and let the crew garnish their own from a plate of sliced onion, pickles, fresh tomato, leaf lettuce. Forget burger rolls, use kaisers.

we have a Guy Fiery endorsed burger at this local place called the Nook. It’s a pepper jack stuffed hamburger with bacon, spicy mustard, and roast beef.

@pennstac I was really sad when the original Red Robin closed down in Seattle. i went there often in college as it was next to the Univ of Washington. Good times.

I normally hesitate to talk about burgers, because I’m uncool nerdy about them, but I know this is a safe place.

My burger mix is a custom blend of short rib, chuck, and brisket that’s ~25% fat. Depending on time, I’ll do some variation of 1) a smash burger, 2) pan fry with aromatics and an uncomfortable amount of butter, or 3) add egg as a binder and sous vide (134) before going back to 2.

Most reasonable butchers will do custom grinds starting at 5lbs, tho for fun, profit, and grain alignment there are lots of reasonable options for home grinding.

That sound amazing! So many stay away from fats, but it’s a necessary component of protein absorption, and there’s an old formula; Fat=Flavor. :blush:

Fat is where a lot of the flavor is lol, I’m just now getting better about eating fatty meats, as a kid my family was big in no fat meats…

It’s all about how you combine your foods. Simple rule to follow is how foods are found in nature: Proteins with Fats, and Carbohydrates(sugars) by themselves.

An example is how people will add fruit to their post workout protein shakes and that’s not ideal. The sugars digest much faster than the protein which causes a fermentation in the gut. No bueno.

Unfortunately most meals combine everything, but boy does it taste good!

My two cents.

A lesson I learned in USMC boot camp. Never, ever, drink whole milk for breakfast. They have a tendency to make you run your guts out shortly afterwards, and you don’t want to puke self-made cottage cheese.

To this day I can’t stand milk for breakfast. Cereal or otherwise.
