At Georgetown, we have a club called GUGS - The Georgetown University Grilling Society. When most people hear it, they either laugh or ask if it's actually an inside joke for something more traditionally "Georgetown", like a Political Science club or an association of salmon colored pants wearers. But no, it's exactly what it sounds like - a group of students united by a love for grilling, the open flame, and feeding grilled food lovers the best burgers this side of the Potomac.
​
I joined my Sophomore year and over time, achieved the coveted title of Grillmaster which comes from learning the proper technique to making, cooking, and serving the classic GUGS Burger. I mean, I even have a polo saying so. It's been a few years since I graduated, but I can still remember everything like the back of my hand. While the ingredients and methodology are not really a secret, it's a Georgetown tradition I hope more people try in their own homes which is why I'm writing about it today. With the 15th Anniversary of the club recently being celebrated, I'm going to share some of the steps to recreate the legendary GUGS burger at home, as well as my personal spin on this perfect burger. Put on your gloves and let's get messy.

    No celebrity chef got to the top without getting burned, cut, and spilled on at least a couple dozen times. While most of us won't become the next Gordon Ramsay or Ina Garten, it doesn't mean you shouldn't learn the culinary basics.
