Craving a juicy burger? Look no further than The American Diner Co. We're proud to serve up some of the best burgers in town, made with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at what makes our burgers so special, from the type of bun we use to our signature smash technique. We'll also delve into the fascinating history of burgers and how they became an American icon.
The history of burgers can be traced back to the late 1800s, when German immigrants brought their ground beef dishes to the United States. The first recorded mention of a "hamburger" in the US was in a 1896 New York Times article, which described a "hamburger steak" sandwich being sold at a local fair. But it wasn't until the early 20th century that the hamburger really took off.
As the car became a more common mode of transportation, roadside diners and fast food chains began popping up along the highways. These diners served simple and delicious food at affordable prices, and the hamburger quickly became a staple of their menus. In 1921, the first White Castle restaurant opened in Wichita, Kansas, and it's credited with popularizing the hamburger as a fast food item.
At The American Diner Co, we pay homage to the humble origins of the burger while also putting our own spin on it. We use only the freshest beef for our patties, sourced from local farms, and make our own special seasoning blend to give our burgers a unique flavor. But what really sets our burgers apart is our smash technique.
Our smash burgers are made by our chefs sourcing out the best beef on the market and buying this from an award-winning local butcher. They then triple grind the beef to ensure ease of eating. When ordered, the beef is pressed onto a hot grill with a Smash City Smasher, creating a crispy, caramelized crust on the outside and a juicy, tender interior. It's a method that originated in diners and has since become a beloved technique among burger aficionados. And at The American Diner Co, we've perfected it.
Of course, no burger is complete without the perfect bun. We use soft and fluffy potato buns to hold our delicious patties. The potato buns give our burgers a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, and their soft texture is the perfect complement to the crispy exterior of the smash burger.
But the toppings are just as important as the bun and the patty. At The American Diner Co, we offer classic toppings like lettuce, tomato, and onion, as well as more indulgent options like bacon and cheese. We also have a variety of sauces to choose from, including our housemade special sauce and spicy sriracha mayo.
So come on down to The American Diner Co and enjoy a taste of burger history. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cheeseburger or something more indulgent, our smash burgers and soft potato buns are sure to satisfy your cravings.
