Four burger patties with grill marks on a grill
Making a perfect, juicy burger might be easier than you think.
  • As a chef, I've picked up a few tips for making a perfectly cooked, juicy burger with great flavor.
  • Look for ground beef with an 80% meat to 20% fat ratio for optimal taste and texture.
  • Only salt your patties right before grilling, and pay attention to their temperature as they cook.

As a chef, I strongly believe the best way to feed a crowd is to have all of your party foods prepped and ready to go — and that includes your burger patties.
