If anybody were to call Jeff Hamada a square, they would have it almost all wrong. Yes, the glasses he wears are more right-angled than spherical. Certainly, many of the drawings he showcases on his blog sit comfortably within the parameters of straight-edged borders.

FLARE Magazine
—
From a carnivorous medium-rare wagyu to a smash-style 40-day-aged-beef griddled to crispy-edged perfection, the right patty really makes a hamburger.
