"There are a lot of factors that go into making a great burger, but perhaps the biggest one is the beef. If you agree with this fairly obvious statement, then the Proper Sausages burger is for you. They’re one of the best meat shops in town, so it makes sense that their wagyu patty is meltingly tender and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Availability of this burger can be limited, so call the shop and ask if it’s on the menu before you drive over." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"If your assignment was to make a traditional cuban sandwich and you handed this in, you might get a D-. There’s no cuban bread. Cheddar cheese and mayo are involved. But at least the Miami Shores shop acknowledges this by naming it the “Cubanish.” However, when your hypothetical teacher tastes this thing, they will bump you up to a passing grade and maybe even throw a few sparkly stickers your way too. Proper is an outstanding meat shop, which is obvious after the first bite of incredible roasted pork shoulder and smoked rosemary ham. The cheddar cheese also works surprisingly well. Once again, we’re all for breaking rules when they turn out this good." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"The Proper Sausages burger can be a little tough to track down. It's usually a Monday and Friday special, so give them a call before you go to see if it's available. But if it is, order it. Proper Sausages is another meat shop that knows a burger should revolve around the beef. Theirs is thick, juicy, and held together with a fluffy bun from Oori Bakeshop. When in season, you can expect a thick slab of heirloom tomato to give this burger even more girth." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"As you can probably tell, this Miami Shores butcher shop specializes in sausages—and they’re outstanding. They have different varieties stuffed with things like lamb and harissa, fig and blue cheese, and beer from Wynwood Brewing. But you shouldn’t just think of this as a sausage shop. Proper has a ton of other excellent meats, from outstanding ribeye to wagyu brisket. There’s also wine, beer, and various pantry items like house-made chili oil, chimichurri, and pickled jalapenos. Oh, and then there are the deli sandwiches—which are some of our favorite sandwiches in Miami. For a shop the size of a walk-in closet, you can spend a lot of time here picking out things that’ll make your kitchen 1,000% more delicious." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Proper Sausage is a butcher shop in Miami Shores that we normally hit up for a quick to-go sandwich or barbecue supplies. But now they’ve switched to online orders only and it’s a great choice if you’re running low on meat. Place your order online for next day pick up. Their sausages are outstanding, and they’ve also got some good wine, beer, and pre-made things like bolognese and chili." - ryan pfeffer
