They are a diff breed, white castle cooks them on a flat top. Maybe they steam the buns?

Its not a flat top, its called a steam griller.
They steam grill their burgers.
Its a pretty disturbing process, but somehow it works.

Watch this video.....



Notice they only cook one side of the burger. The holes in the burger, allows the steam to rise, steam the bun and cook the top of the burger.

Anyone ever attempted to create this beast in their own home ... or better yet, grill it?

Ive never really gone ALL OUT like that, but I generally do grind my own steak and I often stuff my burgers with cheese or mushrooms.

My wife's favorite it my Blue Cheese stuffed Burger and I generally go for the Mushroom & Swiss stuffed Burger.

Also, just a point of preference, I refuse to pan fry a burger.
I would much rather flame grill it or George Foreman it if I absolutely have to.
This is my own personal preference and not a Man Law of cooking burgers.

I tried making a Juicy Lucy once but had a blowout...

I also think I had my patties too large (from the online recipe I found) and had trouble cooking it through while not burning the outside.

I should try it again though, I think I'd be a bit better off now.

I wonder if you could just grill it or not? Hmmmmm. All the ones I see are pan made, whereas I always do burgers a grill (we have great Arizona weather so I can grill year round).

That's fairly unsettling.

I love me a griddle burger!
