Because it’s Father’s Day, however, we have to focus on a favorite of dads everywhere: burgers. Make them at home or order them at your favorite restaurant, burgers always deliver.

But what makes a great burger? The best restaurant in Nashua, NH, certainly knows, and we’re sharing our secrets.

It’s all about the beef.

You can’t have a great burger without great beef. The secret to great burgers is not to overthink the ground beef. Basic ground chuck will do just fine as long as the meat-to-fat ratio is right. The sweet spot is around 80/20. That’s just enough fat to make the burger juicy but not so much that it becomes greasy. It’s also essential to make the patty the right size. You want it to start a little bigger than the bun because it will shrink down as it cooks.

Stick with simple buns.

There are several exciting variations on the hamburger bun, but simple is always best. A basic soft sesame bun or potato roll will do just fine; anything else will distract from the burger. At its core, a bun is a hamburger delivery system, so it shouldn’t distract from the main event. All it needs to be is lightly toasted.

Top it with care.

There are really no limits on how you can top your burger, but you want to make choices that complement each other and the burger. If you’re having a cheeseburger, American cheese will always melt evenly. Monterey jack and cheddar also work well, but shy away from anything aged. Aged cheeses tend to get greasy rather than melt. Crisp lettuce and onion are always welcome additions, but whether to include tomato is up for debate. Some people like the acidity, while others think it makes the burger too wet. In the end, it’s all down to personal preference.
