Well, I learned something new today. A hamburger is not a planet. Thanks John!

When I worked as a short order cook we pressed the burgers on the grill to speed up cooking. When I make them at home, I take more time and keep the flavorful juices inside the burgers -- no pressing. I also us a special burger mop sauce that is a real crowd pleaser.
