- Cook on a griddle or frying pan
Barbecues/grills aren’t as good. You need a good sear on it, and only a flat surface suffices.
- Use smaller, thinner patties.
Fast food places use small patties for a good reason. It’s a tastier ratio.
- Toast the buns
It amazes me how few people do this at home. Crisp up the buns and they’ll hold up to the juice better.
- Let your cheese cool to room temperature
This helps it melt properly. It tastes better too when it’s warmer.
- Use plenty of salt
I find kosher works best. I also really like to use onion powder. It’s a great seasoning to bring out the flavor of beef.

I’m a big fan of fast food burgers and I find the biggest way to imitate what makes them good is to follow these tips. The way I was raised to make hamburgers at home violated these principles.
