DISCLAIMER: This video has a ton of swearing in it.
You might have heard of Matty Matheson. He's one of Toronto's hottest chefs at the venerable Parts & Labour and the star of his own show on VICE Media's "Hangover Cures". In this video - courtesy of Vice's Munchies - he shows us how to make the perfect cheeseburger.
Before we get into the "meat" of this post, I think it's important to note that Matty Matheson is known more for his cooking than he is for his ability to not swear or cuss. This video has a number of F-bombs - so a word to the wise or to any parents who are reading this post with a child nearby... now's the time to put the headphones on.
Matheson doesn't "mince" words. He's wholeheartedly against putting anything into ground chuck to make cheeseburgers stick together. He's also not a fan of putting cheeseburgers on a BBQ grill - because - as he says - they fall apart. His recipe is deliciousness through simplicity and a hard stance against overcomplicating anything. Real simple. A cast iron pan. Premium ground chuck with a good fat to meat ratio. Griddle. Simple condiments like onions, pickles, and tomatoes...and most importantly - a giant brick of American cheese.
The most essential ingredient before trying this is premium quality meat. We have that covered for you. Check out our lean ground beef or our wide selection of burgers to try this simple recipe out.
