Enjoy A Burger A Day in May at Mohegan Sun

National Burger Month is here and Mohegan Sun brings tips on how to cook that perfect burger and where to go if you can’t
UNCASVILLE, CT (April 2, 2009) – Mohegan Sun is a great place to enjoy various foods and great dining experiences, and one thing we’re certainly not short on is burgers.   May is National Burger Month and Mohegan Sun is dishing out some valuable tips on how to cook the perfect burger from Executive Chef, Michael Luboff.  Still rather have someone else do the cooking for you?  Find out where you can enjoy thirty-one different burgers for each day of May under one roof at Mohegan Sun.  
Chef Luboff’s Five Tips For Cooking A Great Burger:
1. Choose the right meat: The meat is the most essential ingredient and should be fresh ground chuck with an 80/20 blend, well-seasoned with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and a little Sacramento tomato juice.
2. Don’t ignore the bread:  Ideally you want a soft potato roll, sesame seeded if you prefer, but nothing too crazy or seasoned.  It is also a good idea to lightly toast each side of the roll.
3. Make it great with toppings:  What’s a burger without cheese?  A thick slice of American or cheddar cheese will do fine here, accompanied by crisp bacon, Heinz ketchup, crisp iceberg lettuce and a slice of beefsteak tomato to top it off. 
4. Use equipment like the pros:  It’s important to try and cook your burgers on a hot flat iron surface or griddle and avoid cooking over open flames.  Pressing the burger is also a big no-no as doing so will run out all the juices and flavor. 
5. Take your temperature:  Hopefully a little red doesn’t scare you, because burgers are best eaten at medium.  And don’t forget to wear a bib.
Prefer to stay out of the kitchen?  Here’s what Mohegan Sun’s exceptional restaurants have to offer the world of burgers.
