Lettuce tell you this smart tip for a better burger

This is a wonderful tip if one really enjoys the burger and all the fixings slipping from your grasp upon the first bite. Leaving you with a bun and a few pieces of green lubricant.

Better yet - let the burger rest. Shred the lettuce. Toast the bun. Forget any reference to tomato slices. Enjoy.

Here’s the correct way to build a burger:

  • Toast the buns, but not too much
  • Put mayo on the bottom bun, then salt and pepper
  • Lettuce goes on next, shredded if you prefer
  • Then onions
  • Then a large tomato slice
  • Then the patty, cheese on top
  • Bacon
  • Yellow mustard on the top bun sets it all off.

Do not let ketchup anywhere near this culinary perfection. Put it on the side, if you must.

The rabbit food goes on the bottom so that the heat from the patty does not wilt the lettuce. It’s okay if the tomato cooks a little bit. And, yes, I have obviously put way too much thought into the proper method of burger building.

I’m trying smashed burgers this J4 instead of the usual grilled ones. I am convinced by the “fry in their own juices” argument.

That said, I tried smoked burgers the other day and they were pretty good. An hour at 225 was perfect and smoky. I’d be doing those if the smoker wasn’t full of ribs.
