"Backstage" at Smashburger on Franklin Road near Boise Towne Square Mall. This is me receiving a lesson in "how to cook the burger." Those who know me, know I am NOT a burger expert :) But I like how this restaurant starts with non-pre-formed patties. I brushed the grill with a little butter, placed the meat on the grill and then used a press to "smash" the hamburger into the grill. Hold the smashed position for 10 seconds to get a good sear on the meat. Season with a salt and pepper mixture.

Ever been to a Johnny Rockets? This is exactly how they do it there, too. The meat is in a refrigerated drawer under the grill.


Yum, they look great. So often, burgers aren't worth eating.
