How do you prepare the perfect burger patty?

As usual, some great advise here, to which I cannot add. But lemme share a story I just heard. There's a small 4-star French/American restaurant here in town with - of course - a great chef in charge. The spot next to him closed, so he decided to expand, making a top-notch burger joint out of it. It has taken him 6 months of experiments to come up with his patty.

In simple words - "perfect" ain't easy. Were it, everything would be thus.

I did forget about how much I enjoy the Eddie Murphy burger. Green pepper and onions hanging out of it, and on white bread of course. Much better than McDonalds.

I used to always have trouble keeping my burgers from falling apart; I tried egg, ranch and crackers, breadcrumbs, whatever, they still fell apart. Then a friend taught me to take the hamburger, and roll it around into a ball for about a minute, then press into patties. They have never broken apart again.

I like to use A-1, worchestershire sauce, ranch, onion soup mix, Applewood Smoked Sea Salt, fresh ground black pepper, cumin, parsley, minced garlic, shredded cheese!
