I tend to make my venison burgers on the larger end also so they don’t dry out as quickly. I find it helps me cook them to temp easier. But now you have me thinking of trying the complete opposite: smash burgers! I don’t believe I have ever made venison smash burgers. Thank god hunting season...
Nice! I’m a big D&D nerd as well. I’m working on a small book of random encounter tables. I’ve previously published articles and adventures in a 1e fanzine, Flipping & Turning.
Smoked gouda and burger sauce by my stepdaughter, on a brioche bun. Roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts with crumbled bacon. Paired with my Scottish Ale.
After a rainy walk with the dogs through Princeton University, we stopped at a place that’s been on my list for a long time, the Historic Rocky Hill Inn & Tavern. We split two great burgers and I had an Old Speckled Hen and a Fiddlehead IPA.
The Volcano Burger at a local restaurant. Very spicy! Unfortunately NJ restaurants love using sub-par rolls as buns. Many a burger has been ruined by this same bun. I still enjoyed it, but next time I will ask them to use the pretzel bun they have for some of their other burgers. No beer for me...
