The perfect burger starts with the perfect blend of beef. Of course, not everyone agrees on what that perfect blend is. What is agreed upon is that when coming up with one's own blend, one should aim for a high fat to meat ratio, and that everything should be very cold. While grinding your own meat is safer than buying commercially ground beef, the risks of E. Coli are still present. You can mitigate these by boiling the cuts of beef for 30-60 seconds before grinding. This will kill surface bacteria while only overcooking a tiny portion of the meat. Opinions vary on what the best technique for cooking a burger is. Some prefer a fluffier, non-compressed patty, while others prefer the Shake Shack smash technique. For the ultimate in burger geekdom, you can try the Blumenburger, a 32 ingredient, 30 hour ordeal that may or may not be worth it. If you're just looking to make your burger toppings more interesting, here is some inspiration. And if you think you've reached burger mastery and are entertaining the notion of opening your own burger joint, check out what goes into such an endeavor.

I Want to Believe--in the Double-Double Animal Style. Mefi has discussed the wonders of In-N-Out Burger before, but what fascinates this east-coaster is the "Secret Menu." Also, the cryptic biblical messages. In-N-Out HQ laughs it all off, even as its greasy-spoon archipelago falls apart, potentially.
