W *** LTV. Digital studio presents.
Welcome to Baltimore's best presented by WB LTV. In this episode, we searched
around Baltimore for the best burgers in town. Our first stop took me North
Baltimore in the Mount Washington neighborhood to the Baltimore staple
Abbey burger with four locations including three in Baltimore. They have
supplied burgers to many hungry residents over the years,
this restaurant and bar is family owned and operated and we took *** walk
through the kitchen to check out why our viewers told us this was the place
to get *** good burger.
Abby's is known for the thick ham corn patties made with quality beef, but
they also have many other options for their customers including *** homemade
veggie burger and *** burger. I am pretty much but so what we're known for
most is the biggest seller um across the board is the build *** burger
checklist and you can pick your meat or not meat, your temperature, roller wrap
cheese, any of your toppings and then your sides. Like we have like infinite
amount of options.
Simply AJ the pickle on top is spicy but delicious. Simply AJ is from who is
it? From Adam Jones and when he was playing for the Orioles, it was really
cool. He would come in because he always serve food until midnight. Um,
and he like to just come in and after *** game and then I think it became
like *** good luck charm or something and take my first bite.
Delicious. Well, I finished up is simply AJ we sat down with Abby's owner
and operator Margo Miller and asked her what makes them and their burger. Um
the, the homemade ingredients, the hand patting the burgers, you know, making
the sauces in house, making the chips and the french fries. I do really enjoy
having like *** cheer atmosphere. I think of the staff as family and then
we have the regulars that come in and their family. Um I don't ever want to
exclude anybody. We've always had an open door to all different things. I
used to be *** special education teacher. Um All of the restaurants are
autism friendly. Finally, if you do visit, don't forget to ask for ***
slice of pie from your pie guy hair. My next stop brings me down to Pig town
for the food truck taste. We're out here in front of the picket Brewing
Company on South Packer Street to find out why viewers told me this is ***
place to get *** really good burger
in South Baltimore, right in the shadow of MNT Bank Stadium. You'll find ***
food truck that has created *** lot of buzz in the neighborhood underneath the
Gaba sign out from the picket brewing company. You'll find Helen Martos, the
owner and operator of Taste. Her food truck was one of the newer names. When
we asked our viewers for their favorite burgers. She serves smashed burgers
that come with single or double and served with chips. So the burgers I use
*** high fat meat and what I do is I smash it on the grill. So the outside
is gonna be super crispy, but the inside will still be super juicy. I
only use potato rolls. I make my own smash sauce which is kind of like ***
big mac sauce. But then I added my own seasonings to it. Lettuce tomatoes,
pickles and the smash sauce I use on everything pretty much and they're
trying to cook it. Hell yeah.
Hey,
mm. That cheese skirt,
her burgers and other menu items. Like customers lining up and coming back
from, I was kind of miserable behind the desk. So I took early retirement,
bought the food trailer. Then I thought I was gonna get on and get the cooking
and fear and doubt. Kicked in. Let the food trailer sit on it for *** while.
*** few months. I put *** four sales on it and then I was like, you know what
it I was like, get on there and get making some money. So let me start
small baby steps. Get your foot in the door. So I bought this, I reached out
to breweries in the neighborhood in Pig Town and I'm just out here slinging
burgers, tacos and pudding. Now comes my favorite part of the shoot. The
taste test.
Hm.
Perfect.
Thank you.
Very juicy. The potato button is really, really one point.
The sauce is the best part. Definitely give it *** good try. Helen is out here
every Friday and is at the White Street Beer Brewery on Thursday for my last
burger. I packed it up and headed up north on 83. My last stop for the
search for best burgers in Baltimore brings me down to the Remington
neighborhood to the restaurant and butcher called JB G BS. They may be
known for their pizza, but they were just recently voted the best burger in
Baltimore by Baltimore magazine. Let's give them *** taste to see if they
could live up to that top, Billy
just south of Johns Hopkins University on North Howard Street is where you'll
find JB GB. They are *** combination restaurant and butcher shop that is
well known for their wood burning pizza oven and hand crafted pizza. But I am
here to try their award winning burger. We caught up with the owner and head
chef Tyler Johnson who told us what makes their burger stand out among the
rest with the burger. Man. We wanted to build something that was kind of
different or the same thing that we were used to, we wanted to build
something that was nostalgic, you know, this really expensive burgers, really
nice fo grow and all those fun things on there. But at the end of the day,
the burger we all crave was *** burger. We in our car at one in the morning
that we don't want anyone to know about. And so we kind of modeled it after that.
We did *** big mac, we did *** thin patty, we smashed burger *** little bit
of mustard lettuce pickles. And it was just one of the things that we got
really close right off the bat and we run with it ever since. All of our
ground beef is 80 20 blends. We grind it all in house. All of our beef is
grass fed and grass finished. We use martin's rolls for this potato rolls.
We found out over time just have the best flavor for it to those off like we
need to. So once these burgers are fully cooked, what we're gonna do is
gonna pile them up right here.
Little melt on that cheese. I take this underneath. Bring it over the burger
patty right there.
Now, you guys know what time it is. My favorite part of this segment. The
taste test. Let's give this, give this burger *** try. Yes.
Yes.
Mhm.
Really good taste. Probably my favorite part is the meat. You can really taste
this fresh ground beef. The pickles add *** nice little flavor to it.
And he's right. The sesame seed buns really make *** good burger. Make sure
to visit JB GB. Soon here at their location in North Howard Street and
give the burger *** try.
