Burgers on the Grill: Tell Us How You Make Yours

By L. Stolpman in Food on May 6, 2010 6:20PM

Our grilled buffalo burger served on a whole wheat bun, topped with melted cheese, piled high with greens and finished with some slices of ripe tomato. We love some salty olives with it and sweet, spicy peppers.

One of the best parts of warmer weather is taking off the grill cover and making fantastic burgers at home. There are a million ways to make a good burger at home. Brioche bun? Whole wheat? How much fat in your ground beef? Or are you even using beef? A dash of Worcestershire, some garlic salt, ...the possibilities are endless. For pure simplicity, we like a fatty ground beef burger (80% lean), sharp cheddar and some raw onion. But when we're trying to be relatively good and get our burger fix, we're partial to buffalo burgers for its lean qualities (which, admittedly, we promptly destroy with cheese).

In keeping with our Thursday-Reader-Speaks-Theme, (on how you prepare octopus and where to get German food), we're asking you to tell us how you make/prepare your burgers at home.

Coming up next week for our reader input: Fish and Chips!
