Joe E Lewis’ Grilled Hamburger Patties Supreme with Savory Sauce

I’m a sucker for any recipe that includes the word “supreme” in the title – it’s got to be good, right?  This one was.  The Savory Sauce was the kind of thing that has you smacking your lips for a good half an hour after dinner is done.  Vinegar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, garlic etc….  Mmmm – umami!

I am testing hamburger recipes for my next EatDrinkFilms article and this was a good one so the recipe will definitely be going in the article (I’ll put a link to it here when it appears…)  Until then, here’s a photo of my patty. 

Patty is not a word I think I have ever typed in my life before.  A “hamburger patty” would never be something we’d say in the UK.  We’d just call it a hamburger.  Ah, the vagaries of the English language.

Puts me in mind of my taxi ride to the television studios today.  I got myself in a right tizzy wondering whether the way I would normally say “lido” (as in an open air swimming pool) was correct.  I looked it up on my phone and accidentally pressed a button that triggered a very loud woman’s voice suddenly saying LEE-DO in an otherwise silent cab.

I think under duress I still pronounced it LIE-DO.  We shall see…
