THE ULTIMATE HAMBURGER
For historic continuity, ferociously loyal community support, and an atmosphere that you could spread with a knife, you can't beat the hamburger joint Louis' Lunch, in New Haven, Connecticut. Since 1898, the Lassen family has been grinding its own beef daily, hand shaping patties to order, and grilling burgers on antique cast-iron broilers in front of live flames. (This answers the question once and for all - the proper way to cook a hamburger is by grilling, not by frying it on a griddle.) And as any regional American culinary landmark should be, Louis' Lunch is sufficiently quirky to allow melted processed cheese but militantly prohibit ketchup and mustard as accompaniments to its signature burgers.

Steps:
- 1. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
- 2. Place the chuck and sirloin in a large mixing bowl and mix with a wooden spoon, or mix the meat in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. If possible, avoid mixing the meat with your hands so your fingers don't warm it.
- 3. Wet your hands with cold water and divide the meat into 8 equal portions. Working quickly and with a light touch, pat each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick squarish patty. Generously season each patty on both sides with salt and pepper. Press an onion wedge into one side of each patty so that it's flush with the meat.
- 4. Lightly brush the bread slices with the butter, if using. Arrange the tomatoes and lettuce leaves on an attractive serving platter.
- 5. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the burgers on the hot grate, onion side down. Grill the burgers until cooked to taste, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. To test for doneness, insert an instant-read meat thermometer through the side of a burger into the center. The internal temperature should be about 145°F for medium-rare or, if using commercial ground beef, cook it to at least medium, 160°F.
- 6. Meanwhile, place the bread slices on the hot grate and grill until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- 7. To serve, place a lettuce leaf on top of a slice of toast. Top with a burger, tomato slice, and Cheese Sauce , if using. Slap a piece of toast on top and serve at once.

Steps:
- Cook the rice according to the instructions on the package.
- Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder and worcestershire sauce into the ground beef and make 4 large patties, or 6 regular sized patties. We recommend making flatter and larger sized patties, as they would shrink while cooking.
- Heat oil in a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium high heat and cook the patties until browned to your liking on both sides and the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Plate them out.
- In the same pan, add in a little more oil, if required, and sauté chopped onions till golden brown. Stir in sliced mushrooms and sauté till soft.
- Add in beef stock along with worcestershire sauce and soy sauce and cook for 5 minutes.
- Thicken the sauce with cornstarch slurry. Mix 1 Tbsp cornstarch with 2 Tbsp water and slowly stir it into the gravy. Stir till the gravy thickens up. Remove from heat.
- Fry the sunny side eggs to doneness you like. We like the egg whites cooked with the yolk still little runny.
- Plate Loco Moco in a bowl or plate by placing some rice, followed by the burger patty on top. Pour gravy all over the burger patty. Place the egg on top (you can serve it with one or two eggs per portion) and garnish with chopped scallions and parsley.

JUICIEST HAMBURGERS EVER
No more dry, lackluster burgers. These are juicy, and spices can be easily added or changed to suit anyone's taste. Baste frequently with your favorite barbeque sauce. If you find the meat mixture too mushy, just add more bread crumbs until it forms patties that hold their shape.

- MIX hamburger meat, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, seasoning and Worcestershire in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, until thoroughly mixed. Divide into four evenly sized balls and flatten gently but firmly into patties. Cover and refrigerate if making ahead.
- HEAT a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Put burgers on the grill or in the skillet. Cook without moving until bottom of the patty is browned and will lift without sticking, 5 minutes or so. If it sticks when you put a spatula under one edge, cook another minute or two, until it will easily move.
- FLIP and cook the second side until well browned and interior registers 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, and no pink is visible. Remove cooked patties to a platter covered with paper towels.
