Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the House Sauce

    In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the tomato and onion into thin rings. Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the wagyu beef patties with salt and pepper. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them and place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Spread a generous amount of house sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a patty with melted cheese, and onion rings on top. Finish with the top half of the bun.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 8

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
