George Motz, The Burger Scholar, seems like one of the coolest dudes to ever exist, and it's so cool to me that he's running the grill in his burger joint.

Pro tip: One of the keys to this is to use a mandolin if you have one to cut the onions super thin. You want them so thin that you can almost see through them. If the onions are too thick, they won't cook properly by the time the burger is done.

Simple, nothing fancy, most likely tastes perfect.

Heard the voice, knew who it was immediately. It's 12:47 AM and I'm really craving an onion burger now.

Used to love going to the JW grill in Chickasha Oklahoma for an Oklahoma Onion Burger! Great memories and a great burger!

Some may call that too many onions, I call that not enough.

i toast my bun in the pan before i make the burger. it's crispy, cools down, warms the heel when i put the burger on, and crown isn't too hot for the mayo/mustard combo.

[mitchconner]

As an Oklahoman not many places do it like this anymore. We just kinda have normal burgers for the most part lol

For the real deal, visit Hamburger Inn in Ardmore, OK.

Interesting to see that GW Bailey got into the restaurant industry.
