I grew up in a little town that had two competing restaurants, not counting the one cafeteria. One served the little frozen pre-formed burgers, while Jocko's served fresh burger--purchased from a local grocery most often--that the staff made into balls, and stored in a tray in a refrigerated drawer next to the grill. When you ordered a burger at Jocko's, the grill jockey grabbed a ball of meat from the drawer and beat it flat with the spatula on the cutting board in front of the grill, then flopped it in the grill to cook. Burgers were served well-done, on grocery-store buns, with a complement of a couple of dill pickle slices and some onion.

But a "Jocko burger" had a flavor that was distinctive, and deep down, you just KNEW that's what a hamburger was SUPPOSED to taste like.]
Jocko's closed a few years back, and I really miss them.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
