Meet the burger J. Kenji López-Alt can’t improve - only tweak. Oklahoma onion burgers.
Homer Davis and his son Ross invented what they called the Depression burger at the Hamburger Inn in El Reno, Okla., as a way to add inexpensive bulk to their burgers. Rather than being toasted, the buns are steamed in onion-scented vapor. That the technique - cooking the patties smashed-style with a huge amount of thinly shaved onions and steaming the buns - and restaurant remain popular to this day is a testament to the burgers’ deliciousness.
If you prefer, you can take the cooking (and the oniony aroma) completely out of the house by heating the skillet or griddle directly over a very hot grill and cooking outdoors.
