According to a recent survey, a sizzling 70% of burger enthusiasts agree that the juiciness of the patty is the ultimate game-changer. At Foodify, we live by Chris’s iconic burger recipe that guarantees beefy bliss.

Forget the fancy seasonings, eggs, or breadcrumbs. The perfect burger, juicy inside with a lightly charred crust, doesn't need any of those extras. It’s all about that pure beef flavor. Our secret? We keep it simple with just salt and pepper.

The magic lies in burger science. Choosing the right ground beef (we love 80/20) and handling it right is the key to grilling burgers with rich flavor and tender texture. Once you've mastered the patty, go wild with toppings and turn an ordinary burger into a gourmet delight.

Chris’s Tip: Avoid overpacking the patties to keep them juicy and tender.
