Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each into an 8oz patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

House Made Pickles

  1. 3

    Slice the Cucumbers

    Thinly slice the cucumbers and set aside.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Pickling Brine

    In a medium saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, salt, and dill. Heat over medium until sugar and salt dissolve.

  3. 5

    Pickle the Cucumbers

    Pour the hot brine over the sliced cucumbers in a jar. Let them cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.

Bacon Jam Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.

  2. 7

    Sauté the Onion

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion to the bacon grease and sauté until soft and translucent.

  3. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked bacon, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to the onions. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until thickened.

  4. 9

    Blend the Jam

    Transfer the mixture to a blender and pulse until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.

Burger Assembly

  1. 10

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Place white cheddar cheese on top during the last minute to melt.

  2. 11

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the potato buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  3. 12

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread 8595 sauce on the bottom bun, add the lettuce, then the burger patty with melted cheese, bacon jam, house-made pickles, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

House-Cut Fries

  1. 13

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and cut the potatoes into thin strips to make fries.

  2. 14

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 15

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the cut potatoes into the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 16

    Season the Fries

    Sprinkle the hot fries with salt to taste.
