Welcome to the Eat This Not That Podcast. I'm John Hammond and this is Megan Murphy.

Hi everyone. And this week it's time finally to fire up the grill. Yay. So excited. Summer's

basically here. Cleaned off. My propane tank is full. The spare tank is full. And I am ready for

summer. I'm ready to grill. And it's,

and it's no coincidence that, that this episode is kind of leading, leading us into a national

hamburger day, believe it or not. There's, there's such a thing. Of course there is. May 28th,

why wouldn't there be a National Hamburger Day? So, so we're recording this previous to national

hamburger day. But that's why today we're going to talk about some of the ways that, you know,

as much as we love our hamburgers, I love hamburgers, what's a cookout without

hamburgers? Of course. As much as we love them, we really don't treat them with the love and

care that we should, right? It's an easy thing. Like when we talked about chicken cooking mistakes or vegetable cooking mistakes, burgers, it's a really easy thing to screw up and screw up badly, right? Yeah. It can go bad. This can go south on you real quick. Yeah. It sounds like you're talking from personal experience, John. I feel like every one of these episodes that we have, the common the common cooking mistakes. John's like, I do everything. But we all do everything. These are so common. That's the point. Especially when it's foods that were, they're pretty simple, basic, right? Chicken, veggies, burgers. So you maybe don't give too much thought into them. You're not cooking a cocoa of eating or something fancy.

It's a burger.

But there are simple little things you can do when cooking them to make them so much better, so much more tasty, so much healthier for you. And we're going to dive right into that now. And these aren't like crazy things, right? We're not going to talk about like the, you know, should I, should it be a mixture of like brisket and this and that and percentage of this and all that? This is the basics because the basics are the things that we tend to screw up because they're, because they're basic. It's the things that you think you don't have to think about and because you don't. It's easy to kind of overlook them and and let them fall by the wayside.

So we're going to make sure that doesn't happen.

And at the end of this episode, you will become the burger master.

You are meant to be.

You will be the burger master of your block.

So the grill is calling.

Let's get started.

Let's get started.

I mean, yeah, is there anything better than biting into a delicious, juicy hamburger
