Finding burger

In my mind, all the secrets to the perfect burger were supposed to be locked up in the patty. It had to be packed with flavour from corner to corner. Afterall if you were a real burger snob, it would just be the burger and the bun.

What makes a burger truly great? You know the kind of burger that makes you sit back, sigh, and grin like an idiot. Four years latter, and I’m still chasing that perfection, tweaking, adjusting, and eating far more than my fair share of burgers. Every time a burger sits tall and proud on the pass, ready to meet its master, I still think: “It’s not perfect yet.”

What makes a good burger is, ultimately, a personal thing. Plenty of people, chefs, bloggers, self-proclaimed experts have written about the subject. Some have even dedicated entire blogs to the search for the ultimate burger.
