    Has anyone tried making smash burgers with ground venison or any other wild game meat?

    I have some mixed 80/20 with beef fat. I may give it a go.
    Have done smash turkey burgers before. Came out really good.

    Does Steak 'n Shake actually smash their burgers on the griddle? I wasn't sure if they just had thin preformed patties. 
    They did back in the '70s, and I assume they still do today.

    Here are a few made with ground venison. Turned out really good. Definitely worth doing again.

    Agree that these burgers can be amazing-

    IMO the key to a smash burger is the crisp from the meat frying in the fat. Beef makes its own fat as it “melts”. Less fatty cuts can be aided with some butter/oil to get that harder shell. 

    YMMV

    Ever had a shockingly good fast-food burger at, say, a Sonic or Steak 'n Shake ( or more recently Shake Shack)


    I was a Herbie-The-Curbie at a Steak 'n Shake back in the '70s.  I find "new discovery" of smash burgers to be amusing.  Of course, everything old is new again at some point.
    Them be a lot of words just to tell us you're old.  ;)

    Good video. Thanks for sharing.

    Off topic, but I like your house. I've been shopping for one recently, so the layout peaked my interest. Looks like a nice neighbourhood.

    I throw the buttered buns down on the griddle for a few seconds to give them some color as well.

    Thanks. Built in the 40s so we did a Reno and took out walls to open it up

    We’re currently looking at places built in the late 1950s. Unfortunately, prices in our city have gone insane, so even modest homes in central locations needing a lot of renos are going for a cool 3/4M. Bidding wars abound. Let the games begin!

    Insane housing price indeed, one of our kids just bought a postage stamp sized townhouse in west end TO for almost 1m.

    We’re in Ottawa, so thankfully, we’re not quite yet at the GTA threshold of insanity. 🙃
