Part 4/8:
While the beef is the star of the show, toppings play a crucial role in enhancing the burger’s flavor profile. Frank talks about his personal preferences, including using caramelized onions instead of raw ones. For optimum taste, he cooks the onions in the meat juices until they become sweet and soft. He also opts for white American cheese, which melts beautifully and adds a rich flavor.
Frank has strong opinions about other common toppings. He enjoys lettuce for its crunch and freshness but opts out of sliced tomatoes, believing they can make the burger too slippery and messy. Instead, he prepares a special sauce by mixing equal parts ketchup and mayonnaise, which serves as a delicious condiment.
