You’re not seasoning your meat
You need great meat, but you must season it properly as well. From a hefty addition of salt and pepper to Cajun spices, from minced onions to aromatic herbs. You must give your meat some personality. That’s the one thing no one can replicate, your secret meat recipe.
You’re not buttering your buns
Your burger bun should not be an afterthought. You have to work it to achieve the finest sandwich. Butter up your buns and let the grill kiss them for a few seconds; it makes all the difference. While you’re at it, get creative with your butter. Garlic butter or lemon-dill butter are great alternatives.
