So I did a smash burger because we received a shipment of slider patties. Blackberry bacon marmalade, rosemary infused goat cheese and arugula tossed in lemon juice for acidity. Let me have it fam

    Looks dry and has pretentious ingredients. Burgers should be burgers

    Jesus christ are we still doing bacon jam? This burger is stuck in 2010s hipster hell.

    Arugula sucks and i see no cheese but sure, charge me $18 anyways

    If you’re gonna promo a burger you need to push the ingredients to all be visible even if that isn’t how the burger looks on the plate. This looks like beef and arugula, much less appealing than your description.

    Should have put some velveta slices and onion straws on that hoe w some sauce man. You over thought it

  6. crazedweasels

    Shit looks drier than the women you date…

  7. I mean it sounds nice, but I can’t see any of it besides the rocket – “arugula” if you must. Also the cheap flabby looking brioche bun is a massive turn off.

    here’s a burger recipe that would’ve worked: 2 all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun

  9. I’m sorry it didn’t sell! I personally think it sounds tasty but that doing a smash patty wasn’t the right choice. Smash burgers call for a melty fatty cheese that oozes out the sides. Just not the right combo maybe?

    too much going on. burger ingredient descriptions need fewer syllables

    I think on paper this sounds good, I’m at least intrigued. The execution disappoints, though. Also I would put those toppings on a nice, thick, pub burger, not a double smash

    Know your audience… Sell what they want with a minor twist

    If I see blackberry marmalade or anything like it on a burger it’s a hard pass from me.

    It’s the arugula. I would personally eat the shit out of that but yeah I’ve been seeing a lot of people hate on arugula lately. My assumption is cuz it was always paired with overpowering truffle oil in a bunch of applications so people have memories of it tasting like feet. That’s what my wife told me at least, who’s now a certified arugula hater.

    It might look better with the arugula on the bottom, but also probably not

    American cheese, onions, shredded iceberg. I’m sure yours tastes fine but it’s a fucking burger. When I see your ingredient list I immediately think of how expensive this is about to be.

    I mean, it looks like yard trimmings on asphalt.

    Most people order a burger because it’s predictable and you know it will be satisfying. What you described is nothing like what people expect out of a burger. You just tried to do too much.

    With burgers it’s a simple equation. You can elevate one ingredient and get away with it. Brioche bun, an aioli or infused ketchup, candied bacon, etc. Once you start modifying all the ingredients you’re left with a hamburger sandwich and not a burger.

    Also, your pic is trash. Smaller plate, keep is slightly open face so all the layered ingredients show. Make sure the burger is still hot so the glisten of the grease shines when you take the pic.

    Black berry bacon marmalade, rosemary infused goat cheese, and arugula, for a burger….did you try it?? Would you?

  21. SelarDorr

    ‘id like it topped with a bitter, sour salad and finished with a half the stick of a creamsicle eaten by the goats who you milked to make the stank ass non-melting chevre’

    said no one ever

    blackberry bacon marmalade sounds pretty good to me tho

  22. ensalada_de_Rats

    Good thing you clarified that the lemon juice was for acidity.

  23. I’m pretty adventurous and can get into unusual or snooty ingredients, but that wouldn’t appeal to me a ton. I’d have a hard time picturing how the jam would work with herb infused goat cheese on a burger. I’d also rather have just bacon than bacon in a fruit preserve. Also if I was ordering a burger, I’d want my favorite burger things – mayo, onion, tomato. Actually those 3 with rosemary goat cheese and arugula sounds pretty good to me.

  24. FiveDogsInaTuxedo

    Tbh it sounds good but the ingredients rely a lot on understanding like. People won’t understand why those foods work as easily without having proper food knowledge. Having said that, that’s what you get when you put arugula on a burger you heathen.

    Op get yourself some good bacon jam goes well with creamy cheeses like goat cheese.

    That’s not a burger it’s a pretentious pile of ideas on a sad roll

  26. TwinFrogs

    It just looks like a lame ass shitty hamburger that you’re trying to excuse charging $30 for. Fuck that. I’ll head down to Applebee’s and get the same thing for $6 with a side of fries included.

    Genuinely if I’m out for a burger I dont want half a garden in there. The burger should do the heavy lifting

  28. You wanted a smash burger, but made a pass burger.

  29. Classic-Stand9906

    There’s the pure quintessential burger that Ralph Fiennes cooked in The Menu then there’s this desperate attempt at sophistication.

  30. Tatertotyourhotdish

    Sounds like you’re trying to mash as much shit in there as possible. Take a breath. Just make it good. No burger needs 15 ingredients

  31. DingusMacLeod

    1. That thing looks sadder than my soul.

    2. Who the fuck would want any of that on a burger?

    3. I’d just like to bring your attention to the first two points.
