The Burger

edited August 2022 in EggHead Forum
Smashed double wagyu patties seared on inverted grill grates. Splashed with liquid amino, then dusted with Meat Church Holy Gospel (more on this later) 

butter brioche bun, BGE roasted hatch chiles, bacon, avocado, tomato (sprinkled with Maldon salt) , pickle, Monterrey Jack (for the melty) Franklin espresso sauce. 

That is a damn fine burger.

    As for the Holy Gospel- it has a little sugar in it and can clump. A quick shake usually does the trick. I was flying around doing 10 things at once, grabbed the rub, gave it a good shake and the lid popped open and shot somehow right into my ear and all over the kitchen. I was a little sweaty from roasting 10lbs of hatch chiles so it just stuck to me like glue. Still digging it out of crevasses in the kitchen. Had to take a shower to get it out of my ear ha ha. 

    Happy Saturday. 
    Too funny.   I’ve had something similar happen but a much lesser degree (arms-not ears)

    thanks for sharing both the success (burger) and the mishap.

    Amazing burger. Liquid aminos?  We have a keg of it. I'll try it on a burger sometime.  Also,  I thought once a rub clumped, it was no longer usable.  I thought you had to throw it in the trash.

    Oh it was all over me. Hair, arms, stuck to my shirt. But the direct impact was right in the ear.

    Oh my!  Way to elevate the classic smash burger!  You may have just made me give up cooking.

    You are lucky, it has been 98 here and low humidity, today it is 105.

    Hmm, that's something I've not heard of before.  Standard 50/50 water/vinegar?

    Awesome looking burger. I laughed out loud reading this...reminded me of this Seinfeld scene. BTW there is a Seinfeld situation for EVERY single life occurrence.

    Ha ha. Very nice. It was pretty comical. I did finish the cook before cleaning up. I am a professional after all 😂

    For those curious about Liquid Aminos and burgers- it’s similar to woostah sauce or fish sauce but it like it better. It makes this amazing funky salty crust (especially on smash burgers). I use it on lots of stuff but I use it on burgers and carne asada all the time.
