I know I am :wrong: but i can't stand "pink" patties.. I always ask for medium...
Pink steaks I don't do either... which of course is not right... Gotta HAVE IT BLOODY IF YOU'RE A REAL MAN.
Bugers should be cooked through. I often order medium well.
Steak doe.......medium rare....no red but very, very pink. I don't get the bloody.

The new cheap Home depot grill I bought gets rilly rilly hot too (and has a little smokebox....I am actually tickled with it after looking a lot of other (more expensive) options) but I still prefer the cast iron for better cuts...more control = less likelihood for the dreaded WD result....
THANK YOU.

Double 1/4 lb smashburgers with grilled onions were a lockdown standby for us..... Thinner burgers smashed to brown crusty perfection on a cheap ass electric griddle. You effectively double the surface area of the meat versus a single thicker pattie ......

:themoreyouknow:

I still opt for single, thicker puck if the meat is top shelf..... the Prime rib or Rib Eye premade burgers in some supermarkets will get the old school treatment......
That sounds incredible. Would eat one of your burgers for sure. I love them smashed extra thin and crispy like that.
THANK YOU

Medium to medium well for burgers.. if they're smashed thin enough though you never have to worry about the inside not being cooked.
A solid medium rare for my steaks.. definitely not rare, I don't want it full on bleeding, but light pink and juicy :hue: is perfect. Medium is fine, I'm not gonna bitch about that.. beyond that is usually too much for my liking, but I'll still eat it.

I'm not really all that picky... but medium rare is proper (for steak).

Y'all are making me think I need to get more on board with the thin patty style. Maybe I'll hit up the Desert Special (Freddy's) this weekend, :tits: is going to be out of town.

This place is billed as a pizza joint (I've had a few slices here and it's good), but their burgers are incredible. If you ever find yourself in San Diego's North Park neighborhood, come grab a few of these. Also their garlic cheese bread is fucking amazing.. so much garlic that it's almost too much.

Call me before you get there and I'll meet you and slam a couple burgers down myself.

What are your Top 3 SD Burger Joints?
For local spots..

The Friendly

Then a sit down restaurant in Little Italy called Queenstown Public House serves and incredible wild boar burger.. not the smash patty we've been talking about, but a solid, juicy, burger with a unique flavor. This place is close to the airport and I highly recommend grabbing food here if you're ever flying out of SAN and get to town with some time to spare.

The only other place coming to mind off the top of my head is a little hole in the wall called Twist. Fresh flavors, nicely cooked burgers, and ample servings of fries.

Michelle's apartment was around the corner from it before we moved back in together last year and we found ourselves walking there quite often for take out burgers during Covid.

I'm craving it now that we're talking about it. We had planned for sushi this weekend, but that may change now...

I have eaten breakfast at the QT public house. See above comment on the Friendly. Holy smokes.
Twist looks impressive as well.

QT is "our" favorite local restaurant. I've had breakfast there once, was good, but the burgers are where they really shine to me. Michelle get's the Ahi sandwich every time and loves it so much that she refuses to try anything else and get way too stoked if I suggest going there for dinner :lol:

I don't think they had that available any of the times we went, but yeah, that sounds amazing. Fuck I'm gonna eat here soon and mildly regret it after because of how much I'll eat.

We rented a condo in Little Italy for two months in.......2016? My AMEX was radioactive due to dining out all the time. Fond memories of that area though.
