My first job was cooking at the Jersey Shore. Burgers and dogs. We ground our own meat, formed into balls with an ice cream scoop for storage, and pulled out a ball and smashed it on the flat top right away. As noted above, grill (cast iron works at home) needs to be very hot.
I made thousands of these over my 4 year burger career, no waiting for the ball to sear...
Was that plain, cheese, or the big gun, a Cali cheese on a hard (kaiser) roll?!?
