Oklahoma Onion Burgers > General Discussion

Posted: 11/5/2017 8:46:28 PM EDT

These started out during the Depression. The onion was used to stretch out the use of the hamburger.

You start with your balls of meat and let let them get a nice sear on the bottom

Then you smash the shit out of them and cover with paper thin sliced onion

After the flip

Add your cheese and bottom bun

Pull, flip and top with mustard and pickles

Eat

Looks great.

One of the best burgers I've ever had was at a little dinner in downtown Chickasha, OK. ~~It wasn't like your though.~~

eta- Looked the place up, J&W Grill, it was an onion burger.

Bunny’s Onion Burgers on 50th is my favorite place if you want to try an onion burger out if you’re ever in OKC. Needs a little salt on the patty, the fries are legendary too.

Pro tip. The bottom part of a bun is called the heel, the top part is the crown. Triple decker? The middle slice is called the club.

Been here 2 years, still haven't tried one. Might need to put it on the list, though.

I watched a YouTube cooking vid about these the other day with my girlfriend(she's from Ok) This is authentic according to her.

Cooks country kitchen on PBS showed how to make them. The only difference was that they dried the onions with a paper towel before molding the onions into the burgers. I make them on occasion.

Sounds like how White Castle started.

I hate onions, but i'd still eat that.

Do you always set your food up on fancy paper?

Posted: 11/5/2017 9:18:40 PM EDT

Nice work op.
Basic but looks tasty/legit.

Posted: 11/5/2017 9:20:49 PM EDT

Looks pretty dang good. Do you use 80/20 lean/fat beef?

Ha, I just ate some Hayes burgers for dinner, which are basically the same thing. They come from Hayes Hamburgers & Chili in Gladstone, MO. Like little heavenly steaks on a bun.

Those look damned good too, OP!

One of my first jobs was working at WC as a cook and I was impressed by how they trained me and you are right, that is pretty much how they started

Local place makes their burgers just like that. Kinda makes sense since they opened in 1932.

My grandma used to make them but she used cabbage cooked with the hamburger fat.

She would slice pickled beats like frys and batter them with flower and fry them to make fries. The stories she would tell us.

I could do without the pickles but I would totally smash that.

Posted: 11/5/2017 11:42:55 PM EDT

[#49]

Would smash!

But, you already did, so I'd just eat it.

Huh, I never realized this was a sorta regional thing. If a place serves burgers there’s probably an onion burger on the menu.
