Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions, gently roll into balls, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Burgers

    Heat a skillet or griddle over high heat. Place the beef balls on the skillet, and using a spatula, smash them down to form patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a crust forms, then flip, add cheese if desired, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 3

    Build the Burger

    On each potato bun, spread a generous amount of fable sauce, add the cooked burger patty, top with lettuce, sliced tomato, and house-made pickles. Close with the top bun.

Preparing the Sides

  1. 4

    Prepare the Green Salad

    Toss mixed greens in a bowl with your preferred dressing.

  2. 5

    Cook the Fries

    Prepare fries according to package instructions or cut and fry fresh potatoes until golden and crispy.
