There is a new shop in town professing to serve 'steamed' burgers
and cheeseburgers.

Am I just sheltered or have others experienced such?

I hope to hear your thoughts and wisdom as to flavor, nutrition,
etc., before I buy/try. Replys please.

White Castle has been steaming their burger for decades.

Didn't White Castle usta poke little holes in their square burgers, claiming
they griddled and steamed simultaneously?

The onions take a long time.

Far as I can tell, someone wrote:

According to the Florida State Division of Hotels and Restaurants,
there's prolly still a few germs left to be killed.

They should therefore be breaded and deep fried in lard.

There was a story about 10 or 15 years ago in the Northeast
regarding a much older but not really that widespread
practice of making "steamed cheeseburgers" in diners.

I never tried one because, well, I ain't dumb, and if
you have raw meat in a patty and a grill, you're not
grabbing for the steamer.

I can specify a completion penalty clause prior to my buy.
I still need reason to try.

Yep - It's White Castle up north and the southern version is Krystal. Tiny
burgers, takes about 4 of them to make a regular burger. Square buns and
soft sauteed minced onions on top. Regular condiments include a slice of
dill pickle and mustard.

Skip the breading, use ground round, pound the burgers out thin, slip them
into deep hot peanut oil and cook them until they float - you have a Dyer's
hamburger from Memphis, TN. No where near steamed, sorry. But a Memphis
tradition for 50-some years.

Stewing chickens can be steamed to overcome being touch and lacking
fat. If they managed to find hamburger that's still tough after
being ground, I shudder to think. If they are trying to retain
every gram of fat, well fat does intensify the flavor and if they
start with ultra-lean beef ...

Maybe the buns are steam baked. There are steam baked styles of
bread that taste fine.
