Tips to making your BBQ burger stand out

Here at Shady Oak BBQ, we’ve spent a long time perfecting the craft that is cooking BBQ food. We eat, breath, and sleep things like tangy sauces and ribs. But nothing is greater than seeing someone sit down, eat and enjoy that food. And we’re certainly not selfish, we’d love to share that knowledge with as many people as possible so that you too can create a lasting food experience for the people you love most. On today’s menu--burgers. We’ll give you some tips on how you can make your next burger a great one.

Well done or rare

We’ve all had the thought-- is there a BBQ near me? Don’t worry about that too much because our goal is to bring the BBQ to you. And one way you can create an excellent burger is playing around with cooking them well done or rare. It’s important to play around with both because when you can master one or the other, you’ll become a pro at servicing your burgers in your style. So, when you’re trying to make a great burger always decide first how you want to cook the meat. 

It’s all in the sauce

The best restaurants in DFW know that you can’t have a proper BBQ without the right sauces. Here’s the thing with BBQ: you can have the best cut of meat and cook it to perfection but without the right sauce, it’s going to be dry and bland. You want to test different BBQ sauces until you hit that perfect mix of meat and flavor. Look at sauces as your best friend!

Perfect toppings

BBQ nearby? You better hope that they have toppings because when it comes to making the perfect burgers, we all know that one thing that makes it taste great is what goes between that patty and that bun. Toppings can often make or break a burger and people love them because it’s their way of customizing their favorite thing. Whether it’s onions, ketchup, cheese, or pickles, toppings decorate burgers to perfection. 

Know your eater

Yes, barbeque deals are awesome, but what’s even more awesome is knowing the people that you’re serving your burger too. When you know the eater behind the burger, magic happens because you can cater your burger to what they like. It’s being able to take all of the above tips and meshing them together to make the one your serving happy. Do they like their burger well-done or rare? Are they in the ballpark of a lot of toppings or just a little? Making an excellent burger isn’t only about execution. It’s about making people who are hungry happy.
