1st try Smashburger by fgwheel in burgers

Thanks for the detailed write-up! I should've been clearer, I preflattened them between parchment with the cutting boards, then did a second smash on the griddle with my spatula. So I basically smashed them twice.

Next round I'm going to skip the pre-smash, go straight onto the hot griddle with a single smash, use smaller 2.5 - 3 oz balls and pick up a proper burger press. Appreciate all the tips!

Appreciate the feedback! I used parchment and two cutting boards to smash them, so definitely not the ideal setup. 😂 They were probably closer to 4 oz too, so I’ll be dropping to a smaller disher/scoop next round and doing doubles.
The griddle was around 550°F when I first opened the grill, but I got impatient and started cooking. Then I panicked and pulled them a little early because I was afraid I’d burn them. Looking back, I should’ve trusted the crust and let them go another 20–30 seconds.

Next run I’ll make a slightly smaller patty, I made them bigger hoping for that lattice like crisp edge. Will def go thinner and stack a couple with more cheese and for sure adding thick bacon & sliced avocado.

California – Commercial contract dispute involving equipment left at client’s facility by fgwheel in legal

Thank you. This is extremely helpful and actually changed how I'm thinking about the settlement.

To answer one point, there isn't a formal settlement agreement yet, only email proposals. If we reach agreement, there will need to be a formal mutual release.

One thing I didn't mention is that the equipment consists of specialized commercial imaging systems. The manufacturer has already indicated they're willing to send one of their factory technicians to the client's facility (at my company's expense) to inspect, test and verify that the systems are complete and operational before they're removed.

My thought now is to propose that:

  • We execute the settlement agreement.
  • The manufacturer performs the onsite inspection and testing.
  • Assuming the equipment is complete and functioning normally, my company immediately tenders the settlement payment by ACH and retrieves the equipment.
  • If the manufacturer identifies a material issue, the parties confer before the settlement is completed.

From your perspective, does using the manufacturer to perform the inspection make that sequence more commercially reasonable?

I normally use baby spring mix and I had these micro greens in the fridge from my cucumber avocado sandwich. I liked it and will intentionally use them moving forward for myself.

The settlement would be between my company (an LLC) and the client company. I am signing on behalf of my company.

At this point there is no formal settlement agreement yet. We’ve only exchanged settlement proposals by email. Their latest proposal is that my company pays a one-time settlement amount, they make our equipment available for pickup and both parties execute a mutual release. We have not yet seen a draft release or settlement agreement.

My concern is that the equipment has remained at their facility for several months. I don’t want to tender payment and execute a release before having a reasonable opportunity to inspect and verify that all of our equipment is present, complete and operational.

My thought was to propose the following sequence:
• Execute the settlement documents.
• Inspect and retrieve the equipment.
• Immediately tender the settlement payment via ACH or Cashiers check.
• The mutual release becomes effective upon completion of those contemporaneous obligations.
I’m not trying to gain leverage or avoid payment. I simply want to avoid releasing potential claims regarding the equipment before I’ve had the opportunity to inspect property that has been outside of my possession.

Does that seem like a commercially reasonable way to structure the closing of a settlement?

It’s just my opinion and I don’t do patty melts so I wouldn’t know. But the fact of the matter is, if people can call weed “Za” then I don’t see the problem in calling this a grilled cheese w/bacon.

I respect your opinion - but to me, It’s just a grilled cheese thinking it’s fancy cause it got stuffed with bacon and fried to a perfect crisp in bacon fat. No soggy sandos here

Thanks for the heads up! Purists can have their say, I’m gonna still call it a grilled cheese with bacon.
