It lives on through my dad.

My grandparents lived across the street when I was growing up.
I had many meals, weekends, after-school hangouts, and swim days at their house.

My childhood is filled with wonderful memories because of them.
Since food-related memories yield the strongest memories, the best bits of my grandparents' house revolved around barbeques.
It wasnt because I got to run around with cousinsit was because of my grandpa’s burgers.

My grandpa was famous, by anyone who knew him, for his burgers.
We called them Bob Burgers after my grandpa’s name, Bob.
He kept his method for making burgers a secret for decades.
I always use a sweet onion, but you could use red onion, my dad recommends.
Also, add 1 1/4 cups of diced cheese.
While my dad uses goat gouda, my grandpa only used sharp cheddarpersonally, I think both are phenomenal.
If youre my grandpa, your last addition is one tablespoon of salt.
If youre my dad, though, youd also throw in two tablespoons of olive oil.
I always add olive oil into the mixture, he says.
“It makes the patties easier to form and makes for an extra juicy burger once grilled.
After adding all the ingredients, mix by hand and form them into patties.
Regarding size, My patties are probably a third of a pound, Id guess.
Because everything is already inside the burger, you have more room for other toppings.
And you get a patty that is brimming with deliciousness and never dry or crumbly.
In a world with many good burgers, these are my favorite.
