Ingredients:

• 200 g (.46 lbs) extra-lean hamburger patty, pre-formed, individually-wrapped
• 1 sesame bun, preferably frozen
• Shredded white “cheese”
• “Pickles,” otherwise known as ZhaCai, literally “Pressed Vegetables” (no dill was harmed in the making of this pickle)
• Garnish: 1 lettuce leaf, sliced tomatoes and onions
• Seasoning: Salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, red cooking wine, cooking oil

Equipment:

• Spatula
• Saute pan and lid
• Stove
• Microwave
• Pizza oven

Directions:

• Season both sides of patty with liberal amounts of Seasoning
• Put patty in saute pan on high heat
• Cover with lid to cook
• When bottom looks “done,” flip, cover, and repeat
• When both sides look “done,” put in microwave for 1-2 minutes at your discretion
• Put back in saute pan to cook away any excess liquids that may have escaped while microwaving
• At this point, put sesame bun into pizza oven to defrost/toast
• Sprinkle top of patty lightly with “cheese,” then put into pizza oven to melt
• Wait 2 minutes for everything to finish in the pizza oven
• Place patty between sesame bun, top with Garnish, and you’re done!

To serve:

• Prepare a small pile of deep-fried, frozen french fries
• Create an elaborately European, but small, side salad, complete with vegetable “towers” and hash-patterned drizzles of dressing
• Arrange everything delicately in quadrants on a square plate
• Provide an individual crock of ketchup

Promise: This will NOT be how I serve my new hamburgers at Connections Bar & Grill. I just wanted to show just how far we’ve come and in such a short time.
