It's a still night here, hardly any breeze. Very odd for this area. We also have some smoke in the air. I don't sense it, but other people have and we've certainly heard about it. I live in the land of snowflakes. Anyway, I've been watching the Tales of the CIty series again for the 1000 time I think - I just need to visit those characters once in a while. It's too warm to sit and watch TV, so I'm working on the computer under the ceiling fan.

Yes, I have had several varieties of smashburgers, and I have loved all of them, for the most part.

I like the crispy patties more than any chewy patty. It's pure flavor. Cheese adds the chewiness, and I love grilled onions and pickles on them, too.

Thank you, sir. A voice out of the wilderness. That makes two of us in this jernt who know and understand smash burgers. Right down to the onions and pickles which of course work on many styles of burger, but they're incredibly well matched to these.

I love many kinds of burgers, but we have here, 15 minutes from my house, one of the greatest and most lovable of original drive-ins whose style of burger has always been this, though it was never called that because the word is a new trendy thing. It's one of the best smash burgers you could hope to stuff into your pie hole. The picture below shows them on a typical summer Saturday evening when they host a "cruise night" for showing off yer vintage automobile. You can't do better on a Saturday than to wander through there admiring the cars and eating your fill of the most scrumptious cheeseburgers, fries, shakes, and homemade root beer.

So yes, they're nothing new, but someone finally gave a name to the method. They're easy to make at home on a very hot griddle or frying pan, and I really steamed up my kitchen when I first tried it. Must revisit that.

Sadly, I'm not too surprised BK's didn't impress. I don't see a fast-made serve-it-hot burger like that retaining all of its qualities on a home delivery basis. You really want to sit right at the counter where you can see them being made, and eat 'em as they come off the grill.

Absolutely!!

I saw an easy way to make them on America's Test Kitchen one afternoon. Nothing would do but that I go out and buy some hamburger to try it myself.

Loved it! I also have bought a Blackstone griddle, but haven't put it together yet.

If it's this ATK video on How to Make the Best Smashed Burgers, I've seen that too! I really like their videos.

Sam the Cooking Guy also has quite a few smash burger vids. His are good, too.

Earlier tonight, I went to my friend Kyle's house and brought Meconi's subs for us and his partner Danielle to eat for dinner.

George · « **Reply #217 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:01:50 AM »

Kyle and I were in Sunday in the Park with George together a few months ago.

While in the show, we'd talk in the dressing room and every once in a while, I'd through out these useless nuggets of musical theater history or information, and since the other guys weren't as much into musicals as I am, they were all somewhat impressed.

George · « **Reply #220 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:04:13 AM »

Anyway, Kyle got it into his head that he and I should do a podcast together with us just talking about musicals and theater other stuff.

George · « **Reply #221 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:05:00 AM »

And tonight's dinner/meeting was to discuss what kind of format it should be, and what guests we should have, if any, and things like that.

George · « **Reply #222 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:05:28 AM »

I'm not completely sold on it, but I said that I'd do it, but that I really didn't want to think about it until after the Hotel Olympian show is over.

George · « **Reply #223 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:06:35 AM »

He's got more time, so he'll start thinking about things, and talking to a few people, and we'll see what happens.

New notes are up.

bk · « **Reply #225 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:46:07 AM »

Up are new notes.

bk · « **Reply #226 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:46:14 AM »

I've seen them.

bk · « **Reply #227 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:46:22 AM »

I've read them.

bk · « **Reply #228 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:46:28 AM »

I wrote them.

George arrives at three minutes before midnight. We could already be on page fifty if he just stayed home ONE night

bk · « **Reply #230 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:47:23 AM »

ONE damn night.

bk · « **Reply #231 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:47:35 AM »

Just for a change of damn pace.

bk · « **Reply #232 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:47:50 AM »

When is the last time George was home for one damn night?

bk · « **Reply #233 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:47:58 AM »

I don't know.

bk · « **Reply #234 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:48:30 AM »

Most unseemly.

bk · « **Reply #235 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:48:34 AM »

What?

bk · « **Reply #236 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:48:42 AM »

I thought I heard something.

bk · « **Reply #237 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:49:07 AM »

George has gone down a smash burger rabbit hole.

bk · « **Reply #238 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:49:12 AM »

Clearly.

bk · « **Reply #239 on:** August 31, 2023, 12:49:19 AM »

No question about it.
