Wisconsin Foodie - Pete's Hamburgers

Ойын-сауық

In this episode of Wisconsin Foodie we explore the western part of Wisconsin, celebrating burgers and beer. First we visit the legendary Pete’s Hamburger stand in Prairie du Chien. Pete’s has been making their unique style of burgers for over 100 years and is known to be one of the first hamburgers to come from Wisconsin.

    I’ve eaten at Pete’s a couple times. I was skeptical of a burger cooked in water. I was first in line waiting for the next batch to cook so I told the guy I ran a restaurant and if he didn’t want to tell me I’d understand but I wanted to know if there was some sort of secret ingredient. He said no, all I do is salt the onions. He picked up a shaker of salt and salted them right then and there. I tried mine with. I also bought a Pete’s burger cap from him. I have to admit, it was delicious! I want to go back again one of these days.

    My uncle lives in a super small town called Lynxville up the road about twenty minutes from Prairie, and whenever I would visit with my grandparents when I was little, we would always get 4 with, and 2 without. Some of my happiest memories from my childhood involved eating these burgers at the park down the street right up next to the Mississippi River. Since growing up, I've actually gone to Prairie (a 4 hour drive one way) just to get some of these burgers when their stand is open during the summer. They're seriously that good, and to hell with anyone that says boiled burgers are disgusting.

    Have not heard anyone mention Lynxville in a comment, in a long, long time. Friends had a farm a ways up the first road just to the north of Lynxville, plus another friend had a fishing camp just south of the dam. Spent many happy times at both places as a child. It is also a 4 hour drive for me to Prairie, but with no family left there, and childhood friends all passed away, not much point in going back anymore.

    As a cook who been yelled by everyone "BROWN YOUR MEAT!" all his life I'm skeptical but this is extremely interesting stuff. I guess the water overtime becomes a really flavorful liquid with the meat, fat and onions if they don't clear the griddle and just re-add water per batch. It just keeps building up from previous cookings.

    Yeah. To replicate this at home one would have to cook/braise some sacrificial ground meat and use it in another dish. A Coney chili sauce or something. No mention of what they do to the bread/buns, perhaps nothing and they are just fresh. I might just try starting with half beef broth/water and some bacon fat. EDIT -Along with the sliced onins. A large 12 or 14 inch skillet might be a fun go for a home cook using 2 ounces of meat and Kings Hawaiian rolls to serve sliders for a crowd. Or the full 4 ounces and regular 4 inch buns if you just need to cook for yourself and a few others.

About twice a month the family would load up to go shopping... and while my mom and sister would be busy out at the Ben Franklin, me and dad would slip downtown and get burgers. The only thing as exciting for me was the relish tray at White Springs where we'd stop to eat on the way home.

    There was a 'Pete's Hamburger's' in Vickery Texas (now absorbed into north Dallas) in the 1950's. Pete was an old Greek guy who made his burgers on a grill smashed in onions and the juices from the meat. The buns were toasted on the grill also in the meat juice. They were great! Not cooked in water but delicious! Hamburgers .15 cents! We ate there as kids and loved them!

    I have been making 'boiled' hamburgers for years now since I originally had them here. You start out with a large skillet and boil the onions, but I separate them before I fry the burgers. The best part of this is you make a leaner hamburger, and the fat goes into the water. They are so juicy that I end up putting them on a paper towel (or towel if I am doing a lot of them) before putting (with or without the onions) them on the bun. You may have to scrape off the 'protein' that comes out of the top of a burger when done like this.

    @o o Trust me, they are tender AND juicy! Think of it like chicken. If you boil them in water, they are tender and juicy, compared to if you bake or fry them. They are soaking in the juices, and, even better, the onion flavored water adds to much flavor. WHITE CASTLE does them this way as well, with holes in the meat patty to add the flavor AND make them cook faster.

    Im too far away to visit this place anytime soon, but found it interesting and made my own following what they showed us in the vid on my griddle. First bite was pure nostalgia. If you’ve ever had burger in public school you may know the taste and texture I’m taking about. The grey pale burgers in the lunch line. Mine tasted just like this, and the ketchup + horseradish basically just equals cocktail sauce in taste. I know the real version probably isn’t exactly like this, but was still a nice trip to my childhood. PS, dipping it in the onion/burger broth is excellent.

    I would char-broil the burgers before this slow boil process. Get that BBQ flavor first, then boil 'em. I'd also steam the buns then butter 'em and quick toast 'em on the grill. It would create a butter barrier that would help to prevent these "really" moist burgers from making the buns "really" soggy.

They are not sugar sweet. You don’t know me but it’s ironic because I do not like candy and if I eat one cookie I’m done. Sweet as in not as bitter as other onions which I also like.
