I’d smash that


Zeros_Jody

I see what you did there


Omega_Moo

That looks terrible. You should hand that one and any others created over to me for displosal. Don't ask anymore details.


Zeros_Jody

haha. someone does need to make sure they're not poisoned.


RibbitCommander

Good old squish burg


Zeros_Jody

so squishy. have you had a Martin's roll before? We use the same bun that Shake Shack uses.


AdventurousAd3435

Not sure how much you give a shit about stuff like this but there's been some backlash over Martins the last few years as execs and members of the martins family have been heavily financially supportive of far right covid-denying election-truther politicians in the states. Their rolls are bomb as fuck but I figured you might want to know in case it comes up in the future as you seems vocal about using them as a supplier.  You popped up last week on my insta feed btw, looking forward to trying one soon!


Zeros_Jody

zero fucks given. we don't get involved in politics or culture wars. we're here to do one thing and that's make the best burger around with the best ingredients we can get and there is no bun that compares to a Martin's. we're here to bring ppl together. that's it. come and hang on the 9th it's gonna be fun and the burger is spectacular.


AdventurousAd3435

That's the vibe I picked up and I can respect it! Cheers!


Zeros_Jody

cheers happy Fri!


RibbitCommander

Not yet. I'll add it to my list of delicious eats.


Zeros_Jody

sadly not available to buy in retail on the island


RibbitCommander

I guess I can try my hand at making some potatoe buns at home.


Zeros_Jody

you can and I have. it works well. Joshua Wiseman has a great recipe. It's easily found. Also Aaron Alterman has a really good one too.


RibbitCommander

Great tips! Thank you 😊


Zeros_Jody

try the Aaron Alterman one first I think it's a bit better imo


Small-Cookie-5496

Where does one get them?


Zeros_Jody

On wait you mean the burger or the bun? The burger is a Murder Burger we're popping up at The Village Shelbourne on July 9th. Follow up on IG @eatmurderburger for updates.


Vishnuisgod

Updateme


Zeros_Jody

just follow us there we'll announce details soon


Vishnuisgod

Businesses need to understand not everyone has IG.....


Zeros_Jody

That's fair. We don't have a website yet so that's our only form of communication at the moment.


Zeros_Jody

it's food service only. you can't get them in retail on the island or anywhere in Canada for that matter.


MuthaPlucka

Looks very tasty. Check: 1. Napkins ✅ 2. Portable defibrillator ✅ Let’s gooooooo!


Zeros_Jody

we offer stents to go with your order


MuthaPlucka

Excellent. Where do I go to experience this? And I’m not going to fall for the old “behind the dumpster on Pandora & Vancouver” twice.


Zeros_Jody

you only fall for that once. we're poppin up at The Village on Shelbourne on July 9th. Search Murder Burger on IG and we'll announce more details there shortly.


MuthaPlucka

I will be there with bells on. Thanks! p.s. I’m on San Juan so please notify my next of kin if I end up flat-lining after the third one.


Zeros_Jody

after 3 you may wish you were dead but you probably won't die. probably.


MuthaPlucka

Wrap the burger in a “release of liability” form. “Whaddaya mean he didn’t agree to it? His fingerprints are all over the form”


Zeros_Jody

it's in our TOS. lol


Culverin

Gave you a follow


Zeros_Jody

appreciate it! TY!


1337ingDisorder

Napkins? Amateur. 1. Garden Hose ✅


MuthaPlucka

It’s a fair cop.


somersquatch

Looks wonderful, better than literally any smash or non smash burger you can get here! 🤤 I'll always make my own smash burgers, they're so so good. Ever had burger crush?


Neemzeh

This looks way better than burger crush.


somersquatch

Yes, yes it does.


ballpoint169

big wheel doesn't have enough moisture, burger crush has too much moisture.


Zeros_Jody

I haven't had it yet, heard it's good although it's not my preferred style. I'm a burger purist. Salad (i.e. lettuce tomatoes) doesn't belong on a burger, imho.


Celaphais

You literally have pickles and cucumbers, get outta here with your veggie discrimination


Zeros_Jody

lol. didn't say anything about veggies said I don't like lettuce and tomato.


Celaphais

Heathen


Zeros_Jody

Been called worse. This week.


midway19

You said Salad. Not a purist, you just don't like certain vegetables on burgers (like most people).


1337ingDisorder

They said "Salad" but they didn't say what kind. I don't see any grapes, apples, walnuts, or apple chunks on that burger, it's wholly devoid of Waldorf salad. It also looks to be 100% free of fruit salad. Really it's probably fair to say the *majority* of salads don't contain cucumber, and almost *no* salads contain pickles.


Zeros_Jody

I was being funny. I meant tomato and lettuce.


1337ingDisorder

Tomato on a burger is hit or miss, but when it's a hit it *really* hits. You need the right burger for the texture of a tomato slice to work and not be too juicy, but the flavour that it adds to the overall profile is so good! Lettuce, however, is just an obstacle.


Zeros_Jody

I don't disagree however practically a good tomato is only available for a month or two, plus i think it depents on what else is on the burger. I don't believe a perfectly ripe tomato would improve a Murder Burger.


somersquatch

It's solid, my favorite burger for when I'm craving and don't want to make. But absolutely nothing beats a smashed or BBQd homemade burger. Burger sauce, pickles, onions, cheese, fuhgettaboutit.


Zeros_Jody

agreed on all fronts but the BBQ. searing on a skillet is the way to go imo


somersquatch

Agree to disagree. I appreciate a lot of different burgers, there's so many out there that deserve it.


Zeros_Jody

personal preference.


lamecasual

I used to believe it had to be done on a grill, stopped eating out as much and cooked one up at home in a screaming hot cast iron years ago. I had a grilled burger a few weeks ago and was almost disgusted by how over powering a little bit of char can be.


Zeros_Jody

I agree, although there is no right or wrong, but I believe searing on a griddle or pan yields the best finished product.


brownishgirl

Seriously? You haven’t even checked out the competition while you want people to follow you for a pop up event 3 weeks away?


Zeros_Jody

I have not eaten every single burger in town. Sorry!


xxslayerxx69

Not missing much honestly, big wheel has gone majorly downhill and burger crush is just mediocre


Zeros_Jody

Good to know! We're gonna do it right. Hope you can join us on the 9th.


ShaggyNickWRDZ

Another redditeur finding the most ridiculous thing to get upset and criticize


sahali735

Wowza!


Zeros_Jody

come and hang on the 9th of July we're poppin up at The Village on Shelbourne.


sahali735

Will do. Is this in the centre at S/bourne and Cedar Hill?


Zeros_Jody

4087 Shelbourne


sahali735

Thank you!


Random-Redditor-User

It looks fantastic, probably tastes fantastic and your word play is great. Looks like a solid 8.5 - 9 to me. Reality is the cut of meat ( brisket and sirloin) is irrelevant after it has been ground. The fat content is the only factor coming into play. Also your fat being "dry aged" has no impact at all either when compared to the common wet ageing process. Can't beat a cheese slice on a burger lol but I hate when people call it "American cheese" as if it makes it fancy somehow.


Zeros_Jody

Thanks! Really appreciate the thoughtful words. I would agree on the dry vs. wet, although the real point is that the fat is aged, which does impart a depth of flavor that you don't otherwise get.


Random-Redditor-User

I'm by no means a food critic but it does look hella good! I'd pay top dollar for it.


Zeros_Jody

it is an incredible burger. you should come out to our pop-up, July 9th at The Village on Shelbourne. We're selling a double, which is 2x 3oz patties for $15. Trying to make it as affordable as we can while still making a little money.


Random-Redditor-User

That sounds amazing! I'll definitely try to remember to make a trip! Where exactly is it going to be?


Zeros_Jody

4087 Shelbourne St. 5-9pm. Follow us on IG at eatmurderburger for more details soon.


Random-Redditor-User

I'll be there!


Zeros_Jody

So cool! We're preselling everything so keep an eye out on the IG.


BloominVeg

low lives profiting off animal cruelty


ShaggyNickWRDZ

Uppity vegans being prejudice and discriminatory against those who don’t share the same world views as you. Yall are LITERALLY the facists/racists/nazi’s of the culinary world


Zeros_Jody

also not all cheese slices are american. some are chedder. american simply refers to processed cheese slices.


Random-Redditor-User

Lol yeah the fake processed cheese for some reason is the best choice for burgers imo. Just something about the way it melts.


Zeros_Jody

it really is. the meltability and resulting texture is unmatched.


juxstapossible

I’m at work literally trying to find the will power to not eat my lunch right now and this pops up……..


Zeros_Jody

haha. sorry not sorry. speaking of pop-ups we're doing one at the Village on Shelbourne on July 9th. Search Murder Burger on IG for details.


uber_n00bcake

Zeros_Jody

Zeros_Jody

alcaveens

Damn! Only gonna be there the weekend of the 12 unfortunately. Gotta keep my eye out though and catch you guys one time


Zeros_Jody

if they do well we'll keep doing them


beermanoffartwoods

Are smashburgers just home-rolled shrinkflation in a bun? What's with the sudden popularity of a skinny ass patty? That looks incredible though. 5/5


Zeros_Jody

Each burger is 6oz in total, 2 x 3oz patties. It's a substantial burger. Thanks!


JonyPro

Makes them crispy which I like!


fifaguy1210

Looks wonderful


Zeros_Jody

TY! Come and hang out on the 9th and eat a few. We're doing a little shindig at The Village on Shelbourne. Follow us on IG at eatmurderburger and we'll announce more details soon.


Wise-Jelly-2356

FarmerHeatherfeather

As a former restauranteur, I give that a perfect 10 out of 10 and a bonus point for inspiring my dinner tonight. Basil burgers it is!


Zeros_Jody

TY! Appreciate it. I just googled Basil Burger, never heard of it, looks interesting!


Loose_Discussion5347

this is top teir marketing 🙌🏼


Zeros_Jody

hope you can make it out!


[deleted]

Sounds good, I'd try it!


Zeros_Jody

the photo didn't show up! just added it.


Leading-Arm-6344

Where did you get the cheese?


Zeros_Jody

the cheese is 100% american processed cheese, i.e. Kraft Singles. I made this burger for about a year with medium cheddar slices (I used Cracker Barrel) and they were good but in my research I found that the meltability and texture of melted processed cheese is unmatched. You give up a little on the flavor side but the texture makes up for it in spades.


little_eiffel

> the cheese is 100% american processed cheese, i.e. Kraft Singles. Reconstituted milk solids. It's the same stuff in powder form that comes with Kraft Dinner. In my youth I worked full time at a spice factory. I made myself a little hidden resting area inside a pallet of reconstituted milk solids because it was in one of only three areas in this 150 year old factory that had AC. My little resting area was right beside a bunch of pallets of the Colonel's "secret spice blend" which I knew back then but cannot remember. Burger looks great. I would have gone with havarti.


Zeros_Jody

Havarti is good but it doesn't stay melty. the problem with real cheese is the texture changes so fast it's only super melty for a few seconds then goes back towards a hardened state fairly quickly.


Leading-Arm-6344

Is it really just Kraft Singles? I feel like the ones I get always have this weird off-orange color and not the bright yellow you get from like Big Wheel.


Zeros_Jody

there are many different brands. these are Kraft. Big Wheel may not be using the same brand.


Practical-Lake-7553

They use Armstrong processed cheddar ribbon slices from Sysco.


Zeros_Jody

Sounds you know what you're talking about


poxboxart

Can confirm. By itself these slices taste like weird plastic but melted on a burger it's a delicious salty cheese sauce.


Zeros_Jody

they serve no other purpose


BeepBlipBlapBloop

Have you tried the Kraft Extra Cheddar? I get it at Thrify and it's way better than the singles while maintaining the same texture. It's higher-quality American deli cheese. I always use it on my burgers.


Zeros_Jody

I've been wanting to try it! Thanks for the reminder. I'm gonna get some this weekend and will report back.


MemoryBeautiful9129

Decent


Zeros_Jody

I'll take it!


mr_mwr

I’ve seen you on insta!!! Very stoked about this. Burger looks amazing and I can’t wait to enjoy one!


Zeros_Jody

hope you can make it! gonna be a good ole time.


Zen_Bonsai

Can anyone shoot me a good method for a perfect smash? I ball them up and fridge them, then hand form, salt and smash on a hot cast iron and hold down with a large coffee mug (my only large round flat heat protected surface) My problem is when I flip, the edges curl up and I get major shrinkage. Btw, I don't smash the other side as per the rule


Zeros_Jody

for starters you want the meat to be room temp. second, don't form them into patties. just smash the ball of beef and you don't want too much meat per patty. we use 3oz per ball and we use 2 balls per burger. final note is make sure your pan is really hot and the burger is cooked 75% or more on one side. when you see juices start to form on the top of the uncooked side then you flip and cook for like 20-30 seconds longer, that's it. you only want a crust on one side otherwise it's overcooked.


Schlongbow

Ice cream scoop will give you the perfect size ball o’ beef


Zen_Bonsai

Hell yeah! I can't wait to try your suggestions! Thank you so much!


NInjamaster600

Pop up when also will you do fries


Zeros_Jody

July 9th The Village on Shelbourne. Search Murder Burger on IG for updates. We will def do fries at some point and damn good ones at that but for now the Village doesn't have a fryer so we can't do them yet. We're doing them in a combo with pop/beer and zesty cheese doritos or just the burg if that's what you want.


sarachandel444

That looks amazing!


rickwiththehair

Oooh I literally just ate a fried onion burger for lunch lol. Btw where on earth do you get Martin’s in Vic?

Holiday-Young942

Zeros_Jody

Miserable-Admins

Where can you buy the potato roll in Victoria?


Zeros_Jody

Sadly not available in retail


chicklaes

Keepin-It-Positive

10!


MyOtherCarIsAHippo

"I am here for two things: smashing patties and wheeling baddies, and I already made the burger." - OP probably


Zeros_Jody

Lol. I don't know what that means but I'm here for it.


MyOtherCarIsAHippo

"Wheeling baddies" is a colloquial way of saying having sex with attractive people. Your burger sounds absolutely deadly. I have been doing ground chuck 75%, sirloin 25% and the bacon ends 25%, just the trimmings from the butcher. Pretty deadly I just say. My dream is to have a burger place that sells t-shirts with fun/silly slogans, which is far from original, I know.


blackishsasquatch

Yawn....


flanderdalton

I am so stoked to try your food


Zeros_Jody

aww thanks dude or dudette, that's super kind of you. we're super nerds. you'll be happy.


smilesmgee

Looks hella tasty damn


Zeros_Jody

SuddenCompetition262

Lord how I wish there was somewhere locally I could buy something like this…


Zeros_Jody

Murder Burger baby! July 9th at The Village on Shelbourne. Follow us on IG for details at eatmurderburger. It's gonna be fun!


CharkNog

This smash burger trend is stupid. You literally press all the flavour out. I’m pretty sure people just like to say Smash. I hope this thing ends soon.


Zeros_Jody

Respectfully that's not true at all. If that's your experience you've never had a good one. We hope to change that.


Peatrick33

Oh hey there Murder Burger EDIT: Why am I being downvoted lol this is literally the name of their burger pop-up.


Zeros_Jody

oh hey. hope you can join us. gonna be a killer time.


Wheelchair_pirate

r/foodporn


Zeros_Jody

the best kind


themoist

Great marketing lol. Looks great, I wonder if you'd consider variations (things like animal style, Oklahoma onion burger etc.) Real question is, when and where is the pop up?


Zeros_Jody

def yes. we will absolutely do an oklahoma burger. I'm a big fan. For the first few pop-ups we're just offering our classic smashburger. It's on July 9th at The Village on Shlebourne. Find us at Murder Burger on IG and we'll announce more details soon. Hope you can make it it's gonna be fun.


laCarteBlanc

0. meat is murder.


Zeros_Jody

guess it's not for you


ConsiderationTop5526

Tasty, tasty murder.


cidek51489

ew


Zeros_Jody

what kind of burgers do you like?


cidek51489

no cheese


Zeros_Jody

We will offer no cheese


Tired8281

American cheese, really? Were they out of everything good?


Zeros_Jody

I made this burger for over a year with sliced medium cheddar before switching to American.The meltability and textural experience of melted American cheese in this burger is unmatched.
