If there’s a flavor profile that I’m guaranteed to go for, it’s Buffalo style. Hot sauce, blue cheese (sorry ranch), cool crisp celery, say no more. It’s with a true wing lover’s heart that I present to you this Buffalo Burger.
It took a few attempts to get this one just right. I wanted to get the right balance of blue cheese to hot sauce and a nice contrast of textures. Too, I still wanted to be able to call it a burger, not losing the beef in the midst of bold flavors. I think we nailed it, folks.
This would be great for any celebratory event that involves backyard grilling. The trick is to get a nice mild blue cheese, like a gorgonzola. Don’t go for anything too funky at risk of overpowering the burger. I also am partial to Frank’s Red Hot sauce, but you can go with whichever hot sauce is your favorite.
On the final test of this dish, I also added French fried onions, and I’m so glad that I did. They give an added crunch-factor, but also, replicate that beautiful fried skin you find on really great wings.
