For tonight’s smash burgers.

I’m making burgers tonight along with my first attempt at homemade fries. I’ll try to get better pics than is usual for me. ;)
Good luck on the fries! I tried the Joel Robuchon method the first time, and was not a fan. The other time I did the double fry method which IMHO was a big improvement.
 
8oz patties with pepperjack and cheddar, beer & hot honey caramelized onions on one, pickles and bacon added to the second after the pic was taken. Topped with my daughter’s burger sauce. They were smoked then finished on my blackstone.

The fries were great for a first attempt. I fried them in coconut oil then baked them for a finishing touch.

For beer, there was a variety: my Atonement porter, giraffeman’s sour mango, my old ale and a commercial lager.

Crap I forgot to post our latest Meat Up pics. This is from last Tuesday at my favorite bar ever, Killmeyer’s in Staten Island. It’s a very old, authentic German pub from the “company store” days of the local brick factory. They recently changed hands after quality went south for a bunch of years. What a difference fresh blood makes! I had a Kostritzer with it. One of my favorite German lagers.

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 lately, I’ve been craving cocktails. I had their version of a Hurricane.

Unintentionally, Fathers Day tradition has become grilling burgers.

Toddler fight at the same time as the propane ran out. By the time I swapped the tank, the burgers were overdone and the onions were a little underdone. Nonetheless, they were great. Accompanied by sweet potato fries and a homebrewed hoppy lager.
