For my taste, I make the best burgers. There are occasions to go out for a burger, esp if you are craving a Wibleys Century Burger (Blue cheese bacon burger with sprouts), but, when we crave real burger, then I make them. I usually make quarter pounders, and I mix the beef with gochujang, bread crumbs, an egg, and a little grated cheddar. I form the patties and let them rest in the fridge for a day. For mushroom burgers, I saute the mushrooms till they are nicely caramelized. I season the burger with salt, pepper and peri peri. I saute them on the stovetop. While they are sautéing, I make my special sauce. Ketchup, mayo and Tabasco. When the burgers are just about cooked through, I put them in the hot oven with the swiss cheese on top. We sauce the toasted ciabatta buns, add lettuce, tomato, pickles, crisp bacon and red onion. The burger goes next with the melted cheese and its topped with a healthy helping of mushrooms. It really is food porn.
