So who doesn’t love a burger? I know I do!
In the coastal town, we live in there is a small local place called “Chop Street” they have the best burgers you will ever eat. They are made with grass-fed meat, grilled to perfection! Topped on a lettuce wrap or gluten-free bun with grilled onions, tomatoes, pickles, and their special sauce. When the burger arrives and you take your first bite your taste buds are excited and in overdrive. The meat is so moist that the juice is oozing out of the sides with every bite and the mix of flavors is absolutely spectacular.
I have attempted to recreate this perfect burger at home. Try it, take a bite, and let me know if you think its the best homemade burger.
Best Burger You Will Ever Eat

(The trick is to remove them at just the right time and allow them to continue cooking once removed from the heat. The burger should be slightly pink inside.)
