Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Your favorite hamburger

When I'm in NM I like What a Burger. There isn't one here, I like 5 guys pretty well.

For fast food chain restaurant hamburgers and/or food currently DQ, mostly because at the one we usually eat at their sandwiches and hot food is cooked when ordered, not precooked and left sitting under heat lamps.

A few local privately owned restaurants make some pretty decent hamburgers. My favorite so far has been what one place calls their "Steak burger". It's made with about a half pound patty of fresh ground beef the diameter of a saucer and around a 1/2 - 5/8 " thick after cooked, The hamburger patty itself is so big it still sticks out beyond the large bun it's served on. Your choice of a couple of brands of steak sauce and the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, etc., dressing.

It's a long damn drive from here, but the mondo-burger at the Monderosa in Nenana.

Bull. Then you're making them too hot, too quick. I'll be serving venison burgers off the grill this weekend for company coming for Memorial Day. They are mixed with 10% beef fat. Will be good and pink in the middle for those who know how to eat a good burger and don't want them well done, and will be juicy goodness.

Beef fat cooks in a deer burger the same it does for a beef burger, for me. I shoot for med-rare to medium with burgers. Seems I'm the odd man out. I prefer elk burgers to deer but nothing wrong with venison burgers. I'll take any home cooked burger to a fast food restaurant.

In-n-out has to be one of the greatest shams going in my opinion. Only difference I can find between In-n-out and Burger King is that BK has better shakes and fries. Fast food is always a last resort for me though.

White Castle is still a family run company that will not franchise stores. They will not locate a store that is too far from the main
company headquarters. There are stores in NJ, NYC, Ky. The closest one to me is in Louisville, KY. and it is just too far for me to drive......

Exactly. Fat begins to melt and make grease between 130-140 degrees. 130-135 temp in meat is considered medium rare. So you can have your medium burger with grease with either beef or pork fat. If you really want fat to liquefy, that's called rendering and it will need held at that temperature for hours.

I would have to say Fuddruckers. Fresh ground, medium rare, and a ton of fresh toppings you put on yourself.

I prefer my own charcoal grilled using ground round, season with sea salt and coarse black pepper, diced onion and teriyaki marinated. Toast the bun and add mustard & katsup, a slice of american on one side of the bun and pepper jack on the other.

I tried some White Castle's little square burgers a few years ago after they built a new restaurant in a nearby town. May well be that my taste buds have changed and dulled over the years since eating and loving them when I was a kid but they were no where near as tasty as I remembered the old White Castle burgers being.

White Castle burgers are even being packaged frozen and sold in full line grocery stores, convenience stores and dollar stores for reheat and eat nowadays too. I tried them once too - once was enough.

Mushroom Swiss. The best I ever had was at some old bar and grill, just south of Casper, Wy, enroute to Muddy Gap. Ooh, and the massive fried onions, a definite plus.

All market hamburgers are pretty much generic, for me the deciding factor is the side orders... if the fry's and onion rings are pretty good then they'll get my business... like "The Hat" but they're a pretty small chain, there's a couple more, but don't very often go to any of the major chains.

Home made venison burgers over smoke and flame. Just some salt, pepper and a little diced in onion. Condiments as needed.

I've eaten a lot of burners and that has become my simple favorite.

Mine...I make a burger rub/topping to die for ...named it BurgerWac...I sell it and give it away as gift's, most want the same gift every year!

Burgerwac... And what is in it ?

White Castle = trailer trash food.
Best I've had and I think it's a chain is Mussels and Burgers

When I'm not making my own I go to a little Mexican joint in the town where I live called Garcias, they make the best burger in SC Alaska IMO. Handmade and cooked to perfection with a roasted green chili and 2 slices of bacon on it.

When I visit Pueblo, Colorado there is a burger called a slopper that most all of the restaurants there offer. It is an open faced burger in a bowl covered with green or red chili. You pretty much have to eat it with a spoon.

Fresh ground 85/15 beef. Mix in liberal amounts of Montreal Steak Seasoning, couple dashes of Tapatio and a dash of Worchestershire. Cook to your liking.
