Smash Burgers & Sangiovese
Our daughter’s friend Tyler offered to come over to our place to make smash burgers for us, and we were more than happy to be the Guinea pigs. 😬
Tyler arrived with his own stove and laser thermometer as he likes to seer his smash burgers at exactly 700 degrees Fahrenheit! 🔥 I guess Tyler ain’t no amateur and we weren’t going to be Guinea pigs after all! 🤯
I poured Chef Tyler @foodbyyyler some Old Forester 1920 “Prohibition Blend” Bourbon @oldforester as he prepped for the cook. 🥃 Probably not a good idea to pour 115 proof Bourbon for a dude operating a stove at 700 degrees Fahrenheit 🤔, but I guess we live dangerously! 💥😜
I gotta say, watching the burgers cook within seconds on that grill-on-steroids was quite exhilarating! 😮 #boyswiththeirtoys The double smash burger topped with grilled onions, jalapeños, heirloom tomato and Tyler’s secret sauce that I devoured in no time was absolutely amazing! 😋
I popped open this 2019 SaintK “Like The Snows Of Yesteryear” Sangiovese from White Hawk Vineyard in Santa Barbara County, made by my buddy Chris Kiranbay, to pair with the meal. The wine was delicious and I wanted to do something different than my regular posts in which I share my tasting notes. To that end I reached out to Chris to get the scoop from the horse’s mouth and he said:
“For me it’s all sour cherry and cranberry raisin pie. Definitely some tobacco leaf type stuff going on. It does benefit from a few hours of air or even the next day.”
Well Chris, the wine was yummy and it barely lasted a couple hours, leave alone till the next day! 😋
A big THANK YOU to Tyler for the delicious smash burgers and to Chris for making this delicious wine to enjoy them with! Cheers! 🍔🍷
