I've spent quite a bit of time trying to perfect the patty, and I think I've got pretty damn close. Everyone has their own recipe, and they each have their merits. (But some don't. I once had a patty that tasted like pureed cat food wrapped in yellow play dough. You know who you are DC food truck!) Ultimately, I
really think the key to delicious patty is the crisp, flaky pastry with the perfect
amount of heat in the filling.
