Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the secret to the perfect burger patty?
The key to a juicy, flavorful burger patty is all in the seasoning. Be generous with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other spices you love. And remember, don’t overwork the beef – gently shape the patties and avoid packing them too tightly.
Can I make the burger sauce ahead of time?
