The brief
A Whopper is a garden burger that happens to have flame. Keep the produce loud and the patty a little oversized.
Ingredients
- 10-ounce 80/20 patty, loosely packed
- Sesame bun, mayo, ketchup
- Thick tomato, iceberg leaf, raw onion ring, pickle chips
Method
- Charcoal if you have it. Gas if you do not. High heat, lid off, one confident flip.
- Toast the bun over the same grate.
- Mayo on the crown, ketchup on the heel. Do not overthink the stack.
The homemade version tastes more like a cookout than a wrapper, which is the point.

Gas grill here. I still got enough char that it smelled like the parking lot in a good way.
