I just got a job at a place that does batch interviews. You go through the process, then they tell you they want to do an interview. You get a text or email with slots available and you and every other applicant fights for one of 50 interview slots available.
It’s a competitive job so you have to click the link within 5 minutes or you don’t get a slot.
I missed the first one (slots were all full) but I got the second round. Came in with all the other applicants, did the interview, got hired.
It’s certainly degrading and dehumanizing to go through this process, but for companies who have tons of applicants, they can get away with it.
You make the patties into a loose meatball shape(around 4 ounces). Ground beef 80/20 works best from what I’ve heard. Then when your pan is super hot, you throw them on and smash them super thin. Let them cook about 2 mins, then get a metal spatula to flip. Add cheese if you so desire and let it cook for another min.
The one in the pic is a double smash burger with 2 patties. Magnificent IMO. I just started this journey a couple weeks ago and I am hooked! Although I need to prob chill a bit since not exactly the most healthy thing.
To signal boost @Lifecoach5000 love of the smashburger: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt goes into great culinary depth about burgers, including the Oklahoma smashie. This is the version I make for friends and loved ones: www.seriouseats.com/oklahoma-onion-burger-recipe
If you can source beef from grass-fed pastured steer (in contrast to CAFO beef), it makes such a huge difference. For example, we get beef from a small scale local rancher family that does all their own butchery. Anything more than salt and pepper on their beef starts to detract from the subtle complexities in the meat, complexities missing from grain-fed beef.
Are we sure kool-aid isn’t the evil one? I’m sure he’s killed or gravely injured a few children busting through those walls. Think he’s footing repair bills for that damage? I’m guessing not.
Squirt of mustard onto the skillet before applying the meatball! It caramelizes into the meat only leaving a great depth of flavor, not a mustard forward finish
It’s so easy to get free guys in Mario 3 that these were kind of pointless. The ones where you could win a hammer bros suit, on the other hand… Those were valuable.
Can confirm. Did a contract with them. It’s 1000 old school business and engineers who are extremely resistant to change at all. Their agile process was 100% BS that was micromanagement waterfall pretending to be agile. No one should want to work there.
Do I see a fried egg in there? - Reminds me of a burger I once got in Australia they call a burger with the lot. Burger bun, BBQ sauce/ Mayo/ ketchup, smashed patty, fried onion, cheese, bacon, pickled beetroot, grilled pinapple, fresh tomato, lettuce, fried egg, it’s a belly buster - Nice looking setup you have there.
Thank you much! No fried egg. Just mayo, green leaf lettuce, thin tomato slices, chopped sweet onion and bacon. I think I need to dial down on the green leaf a bit.
The burger you’re describing sounds like a masterpiece though!
