I need to go to the USA and actually try an American hamburger. Not a McDonald's, a proper big fuck off freedom burger
Honestly there's nothing like it. I've never had a European hamburger with the same taste and texture as a classic American burger--which I say totally independent of/not about quality. Euro burgers use a totally different grind that changes the density and flavor of the patty,, and then of course the toppings and bun tend to be a bit different. Sort of like NYC pizza being relatively simple, but apparently impossible to 100% recreate in any other city, there's nothing immediately notable about an American burger that you couldn't do somewhere else, but it does still come out differently. I hope you get your chance to try one!
Texan here. I've had some damn good hamburgers in my life, and I've been to numerous states. But the one of the best burgers I've ever had was in Luleå, Sweden at a place called Bastard Burgers. Specifically, you have to ask for them to add 3 pieces of Västerbottensoft crispy bites to the burger. It brought tears to my eyes just knowing I can't get anything like that in Texas.
bastard used to be great when it was just one restaurant. went there a lot in uni. then they got popular, and while i haven't been to the original place in like five years all their new locations are just... expensive and average.
