Method

Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
Form ground beef into 4 equal patties and season with salt and pepper.
Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness.
Place a slice of gouda on each patty and let melt.
Toast burger buns briefly on the grill.
Assemble burgers with arugula, caramelized onions, aioli, and baby spinach.
Prepare herb fries by tossing potatoes with olive oil, thyme, and rosemary, then baking at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
Serve with homemade pickles and a cold Coca-Cola.
Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
