WHERE TO EAT The best Steamed Cheeseburger in the world (according to food experts)

"Ted’s is the OG in the Meriden steamed-cheeseburger game, having been around since 1959. Ted’s uses a mild Cheddar that pulled almost like mozzarella and had that subtle nutty flavor that helped balance the acid from the pickles, mustard, and onion. The loose grind of the meat felt pure, and the salt and pepper added the proper seasoning. There was no real trick to it, but all the elements fell exactly into place."

"Does the plastic tray help lock in more moisture? Because these burgers are especially juicy. Kevin may add some spice to the meat, but he’s not telling and I could not identify it (maybe garlic, or pepper). The Wisconsin sharp cheddar seems to be a similar cheese used around town, and, as usual, it’s a perfect foil for the meat."
