"At age 26, Hunter Karametos has attained wunderkind status with his pop-ups under the Steeze Burger banner, a name that sounds phonetically like “cheeseburger” but actually invokes a slang term that combines “style” with “ease.” When Karametos stands over his portable Blackstone griddle, he is the embodiment of steeze: a grill man, a hamburger historian and an evangelist for his brand of homegrown burger. While conducting research for Steeze, Karametos consumed more than 150 burgers to understand what elements tripped his pleasure receptors. He was particularly fond of the dry-aged patties at Burger & Beyond in London, and he would come to learn why: They include bone marrow, he says. Karametos sources his beef from farms in northern Montgomery County, and his custom blend, like Burger & Beyond’s, includes marrow. Topped with steamed onions, pickles and American cheese, it’s a burger that sends your needle into the red zone on first bite. Your brain cannot begin to process the experience, so it just goes along for the ride — delirious over this buttery and rewarding burger, the best around these parts."- Tim Carman food reporter at The Washington Post.
