Best of the Burger Battle: Our Judge's Choice Burger
It's no secret we love beef, especially steak, and we're so proud to offer the best selection in town. Our Certified Akaushi beef is our exclusive wagyu beef from our own private herd of Japanese Red cattle.
When it came time to select the beef that we'd use in our burger entry at Minnesota Monthly's 2023 GrillFest, the choice was clear. Judges enjoyed two smashed patties of our exclusive Certified Akaushi beef smothered in classic, melty American cheese, our own recipe for Smoky Bacon Aioli and the perfect sprinkle of shredded Romaine. Served on a brioche bun with the requisite structure, softness and subtle sweetness to show off the beef, we knew it was a winner even before the celebrity judging panel proclaimed it No. 1.
Here we're showing you how to make our winning recipe for our Judge's Choice Burger at home. Use a flattop griddle or cast iron skillet to ensure the perfect caramelized crust on the seared, smashed beef.
