While dad’s are great at many things, grilling seems to be a common strength. That’s why this Father’s Day we propose giving your dear old dad a break! Like most good burgers we have kept the ingredients simple to let the charred succulence shine through. We recommend indulging in 85% lean ground beef. Yes, that means put down the 99% lean stuff, it is a celebration after all!
To turn this burger from weekend regular to Father’s Day must-make, add some customized toppings. Toppings can get gourmet or personal (well personalized that is). I choose toppings that remind me of great times with my dad. We’ve got a fried egg because every Saturday after coffee and paper we make a big family-style egg breakfast. Shredded cheese because…well frankly I’ve never seen him eat a burger without it. Finally, ketchup because he stomached bland boarding school food back in the day and never quite kicked the habit. Burgers are the perfect and well-deserved treat to reward our dads’ for being, well dads!
P.S. we also used to make floats whenever my mum left us all along so I couldn’t resist this bottle of Root Beer…the kid eating the double double burger is too funny!
