THE BURGER BAR

Steps:

• Preheat a large cast-iron skillet to medium hot. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot skillet to make a nonstick surface.
• Season the ground meat in a bowl with salt and pepper. Give it about 3 turns in the bowl with your hands or a big spoon and it's done. Shape into 4 patties. When the skillet is hot, put the burgers on the skillet and cook 4 minutes on the first side and 5 for the second side for rare; 7 minutes per side for medium, adding the cheese during the final minute or 2 to melt. Remove the burgers to a plate. Rub the skillet with the folded paper towel again to clean it. Then toast the buns cut side down for about 1 minute, just to mark them. Serve the hamburgers in the buns with the accompaniments below.
• Saute 1 pound thickly sliced mushrooms in 1/4 cup olive oil with 2 sliced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves over super-high heat until nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in a couple of drops fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
• Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 2 onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook slowly until well caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Thickly slice 2 pounds red and yellow beefsteak tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and 1/2 bunch chopped fresh chives.;
• Lay out 1/2 pound sliced bacon on a baking sheet, strip leaves from 1 sprig rosemary and throw them on top with lots of cracked black pepper and roast at 400 degrees F until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Stir together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 1/4 cup freshly minced herbs such as parsley, basil, chives or scallion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, a little squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper.

THE BURGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, gently mix the ground short rib and chuck. Take a quarter of the mixture and gently form a patty slightly wider than the size of your buns. Repeat, forming 4 equal-size patties. Place the burgers in the refrigerator until chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Heat a cast-iron griddle or pan until very hot over medium-high heat. If your griddle is well-seasoned, there is no need to oil it, but if not, drizzle it with a bit of the oil. Season the burgers with salt. Gently place the burgers onto the hot griddle and cook until browned, about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, seasoning the burgers again after flipping.
• Carefully slice the buns in half. Spread some Burger Goop on the bottom buns and place the patties on top. Top with the lettuce and tomato. Spread more Burger Goop on the top buns and close the burgers. Serve immediately.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan with softened butter.
• Combine the potato starch, bread flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, milk powder and garlic powder in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Fill a measuring cup with 1 1/2 cups water; add the egg and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and whisk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Whisk to combine. Pour the batter into a 1-quart iSi whipped cream siphon and charge it with 3 carbon dioxide (CO2) cartridges. Give it a gentle shake and let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
• Give the iSi siphon another shake, then eject the batter from the canister into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup almost to the top. Sprinkle the dough with sesame seeds. Bake until the tops are golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and, while still hot, brush the tops with the remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter.
• Add the chopped chives, ketchup, mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to a small bowl. Finely chop the pickles, capers and parsley together and add the mixture to the bowl. Gently stir to combine. Season with salt.

TYLER'S ULTIMATE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Coat a skillet with a 2-count of oil and place over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, and bay leaves for a few minutes.
• Add red peppers and cook them for a couple of minutes until soft. Add tomatoes.
• Stir in the parsley, ketchup and Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer relish for 5 minutes then remove from the heat.
• Place the torn white bread in a bowl and add the milk to just barely cover, swish the bread around in the milk and let it sit while you get the rest of the ingredients for the meat loaf together.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with 1 1/2 cups of the tomato relish, the eggs, and thyme; season with salt and pepper.
• Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the soaked bread to the meat mixture.
• Transfer the meat mixture to the center of a lightly oiled cookie sheet and form into a log (around 9 x 4-inches).
• Coat the top of the meatloaf with another 1/2 cup of the tomato relish and then lay the bacon across the top lengthwise.
• Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the bacon is crisp and the meatloaf is firm, rotating the meatloaf periodically to ensure even browning.
• Remove the meatloaf from oven and let it cool a bit before slicing.
