Food blogger Linda Miller Nicholson of Salty Seattle spent the last year researching burgers—eating burgers from White Castle to Umami Burger and reading up on burger-making techniques from famous chefs—to come up with her Salty Seattle Burger, her take on Heston Blumenthal's labor-intensive burger recipe. She improves upon the recipe by adding potato to the bun, using cheddar and beer instead of Comté and sherry, making her own ketchup, cutting out wheels of lettuce and tomato to fit the burger perfectly, cooking the patties sous vide, and more. She goes into detail about the components and shares her recipe (which is like five recipes combined) for the whole shebang in her post. Awesome display of meticulous burgercraft, Linda!

Ladies and gentleman, I first met Nick Solares, this week's Grilled subject, in late April, when he started sending me a series of tips and links regarding burgers. As he was quite adept at finding interesting beefy tidbits, I thought, "This guy would make a helluva blogger." Mr. Solares must have sensed his own potential because in May he started Beef Aficionado, a site dedicated to all things beef. Most impressive to me was his feat of eating and blogging a burger a day during his premiere month—which also happened to be National Hamburger Month. And so, without further ado, let's get Grillin'. —The Mgmt.
