Amount it takes to sip/drink 2 beers near a grill.

The secret is in the powders, which for recipe I actually mix myself, when seasoning the meat.

I take kosher salt, dried garlic, dried onion, coarse ground pepper, paprika and dried red peppers, throw them in a blender and hit frappe. This gets worked into the ground beef or buffalo to make sure it's in every corner of the mixing bowl I use. Once it's well seasoned, I make about quarter to half pound patties working them out from the center and, if you want to make then extra juicy on the grill, a put slice of butter in the center of the patty.

Grill over medium for about 20 minutes turning about halfway through, drop the cheese on it while it's on its last 30 seconds or so on the grill and enjoy on your favorite bun with all the fixins you put on your burgers. My personal favorite is potato bun with lettuce, tomato and sauteed onions dressed with A1 steak sauce.

As for burger joints, most of you know I readily despise fast food but In-N-Out has always held a special place in my hardening heart for many years. It's about the only fast food joint I'll eat at besides Denny's. But Denny's is that "late Saturday night" option around here since it's the only restaurant that's open at 3 am when you're stumbling out of the bars after last call and we've already finished the reserve liquor.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
