At Lady Jaye, located in the heart of West Seattle, we bring together passion, precision, and premium ingredients for our Smoked Wagyu Burger Night every Thursday. Our focus? Delivering a burger experience that highlights the extraordinary quality of locally-sourced Wagyu beef. It’s a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and unforgettable flavors—making it a must-try at our West Seattle restaurant.

Sourcing the Best Local Wagyu Beef

We believe that exceptional beef creates the foundation for a perfect burger. That’s why we source full-blood and purebred Wagyu from local producers committed to the highest standards. The luxurious marbling in Wagyu results in a buttery texture and rich flavor, distinguishing it from other beef. By partnering with local farms, we ensure every burger showcases fresh, sustainable, and high-quality meat, reflecting our commitment to supporting the West Seattle community.

Grinding and Hand-Pressing Every Patty In-House

At Lady Jaye, we take pride in controlling every step of the process. We grind the Wagyu beef in-house daily to preserve its structure and ensure superior flavor. Every patty is hand-pressed by our team to create just the right balance between tenderness and texture. This level of care ensures that every burger cooks evenly and stays incredibly juicy, offering a premium dining experience at our West Seattle restaurant.

Seasoning with Our Signature Bovine Rub and Smoking to Perfection

Before hitting the smoker, each patty is seasoned with our house bovine rub, a blend that enhances the rich flavor of the Wagyu without overpowering it. We then smoke the patties low and slow at 240°F, allowing them to absorb the perfect amount of smoky goodness. Once the burgers reach an internal temperature of 130°F, they are ready to be seared to perfection.

Searing to Order and Crafting the Perfect Burger

When it’s time to serve, every smoked patty is seared to order, locking in juices with a caramelized crust. We top the burgers with American cheese, which melts beautifully over the Wagyu, and assemble them on soft brioche buns with fresh lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickles. Finally, a drizzle of our house-made rocket sauce adds a savory, tangy kick, making each bite unforgettable.
