"P.J. Clarke’s Signature Burger was given its name by famous American jazz artist Nat King Cole, who proclaimed in the late 1950s that P.J. Clarke’s burger was “The Cadillac of burgers."
6½ ounces P.J. Clarke’s Meyer Beef, ground
1 hamburger bun
1 slice of Land O’Lakes Yellow American Cheese
2 slices Heritage Smoked Bacon, already cooked in oven
1 slice of Spanish onion
1 Kosher dill pickle spear
Lettuce and tomato if desired
Kosher salt to taste
Mold the ground beef gently into a hamburger patty.
On a flat top griddle, place burger down and season generously with Kosher salt.
Allow to sear for up to 4 minutes without moving.
Flip burger and allow to sear for another 4 minutes without moving or touching (never press a hamburger).
Place cheese on top of the burger patty and let the steam from the burger patty melt the cheese.
