I should probably post next time I make cast iron pan-pizza.

Stop. I can only get so aroused. 😭

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

No, keep going 🀀

Kinda shocked nobody pointed out the demon in the shadow eyeing your meal.

Haha! Those are the warning lights on my cooktop indicating it's recently used and still hot.

I thought it was the reflection of a T-100 Terminator.

Dat bun doe 😍

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely beautiful, that brioche bun almost sparkles! I'm also super curious what the rest of the napkin says? I think it's written in Finnish but I can't make out the story it's telling!

It's a napkin from Social Burger, in, yes, Finland. They make my favorite burgers, and though mine are really close, I haven't found a ketchup that is as good as theirs. I might have to try making some.

I keep any that go unused when I eat their burgers, and use them later. Feels like an homage.

They got me into making burgers, as they stopped selling their Aioli burger, my favorite, which I then had to learn to make (and have since combined with their bacon burger).

The bun is Rosten's burger brioche, I've yet to try making my own, as both these and the buns made by Fazer are really damn good. Most store-bought options were trash though, so much "brioche" with neither butter nor egg.

Omg thank you, anytime I see covered up text it's like something goes off in my brain where I really want to be able to read the rest, this is extremely satisfying! You have my respect for keeping spare napkins to use later, which I try to do as well, but also for using them appropriately for your own burgers, which is oddly satisfying.

As far as recreating your favorite discontinued burger and modifying it with bacon, it looks like you've done an incredible job! At this point I'd say it looks like you've got the skills and the drive to take a shot at recreating their ketchup -- make sure to post back in this community if you do!

And of course for anyone curious, their napkin goes over the ethos, in part roughly translating to: "It has always been clear that burgers mean more to us than just chow. Everything we've learned from burgers, and what we're still learning, we'll share with you. So that you can experience the same passion and joy of realization as we do." It's signed by "The Burgermeister" which is not only the Burger Master but I think possibly a clever play on words, since "bΓΌrgemeister" refers to a mayor/chief/etc. as I understand it!

That’s $28.95 at BougieBurger

Good info on the burger, but tell me more about those fries, did you start at potatoe, or something pre-cut?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Extremely basic, just peeled and cut potatoes straight into a deep fryer. No soaking or anything.

Ten minutes at 150Β°C to turn em soft, then out of the oil, up the heat to 190Β°C, then back in until crispy. Usually barely a minute.

This has netted me the most consistently good results without too much prepping.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That's a solid strategy for the fries! Nicely done on the whole meal, op!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Looks delicious. Is thst Aura or some other brand of blue cheese?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I've been using Castellos blue cheese, Aura is good, but doesn't melt as nicely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Hell yeah for blue cheese on a burger. 🀀
