Trending Now: Smash Burgers

Sunday, May 12, 2024

 

Let’s explore one of the latest food trends everyone is talking about: smash burgers. These burgers are thin, crispy, and super tasty. 

What Are Smash Burgers?

Smash burgers are like regular burgers, but thinner and crispier. Instead of thick patties, they're made by pressing ground beef flat on a hot grill. This makes them crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Why Are They Popular?

Delicious Taste: Smash burgers have a rich, savory flavor because they're cooked fast on high heat. This locks in the taste and gives them a yummy crust.

Quick Cooking: They cook in just a few minutes, perfect for when you're hungry and don't want to wait long.

Lots of Options: You can customize smash burgers with different toppings and sauces to make them your own.

Social Media Buzz: People love sharing pictures and reviews of smash burgers online, making them popular on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Nostalgia: Despite their contemporary popularity, smash burgers evoke a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. With their humble origins rooted in roadside diners and mom-and-pop burger joints, they offer a comforting taste of Americana that connects with people of all ages.

Final Thoughts

Smash burgers are a tasty and trendy option if you’re looking for a quick, flavorful meal. Whether you’re a foodie or just hungry, give them a try—they might just become your new favorite!

How done is your meat?

Sunday, July 23, 2017


I know that summer is here when I smell meat grilling on the barbecues in my neighborhood. Burgers and steaks are especially flavorful when grilled, and the aroma is intoxicating (entrancing and stimulating).

Doneness indicates how thoroughly cooked a cut of meat is with regard to its color, juiciness and internal temperature, and everyone has their preference.

If you’re a guest at a family barbecue, can you tell your host how you like your meat cooked? What about in a restaurant? Can you communicate to your server the desired doneness of your steak?

RARE = cool red center
MEDIUM RARE = warm red center; firmer
MEDIUM = warm pink firm center
MEDIUM WELL = slightly pink center
WELL DONE = little or no pink

These are vocabulary words to know for the ideal steaks, roasts, and burgers!
