Ingredients List
Important Notes
J.G. Melon relies on a simple, classic griddled cooking method on a flat-top to ensure a quick cook and consistent sear.
Peter Luger uses high-heat overhead broilers (the same ones used for their steaks) to cook their thick burgers, creating a unique charred crust.
Both burgers emphasize high-quality beef and simplicity, utilizing only American cheese, raw onions, and pickles without heavy sauces.
