Jam-packed with recipes and techniques, this book is about hamburgers. Read on as we lovingly celebrate the beloved hamburger with 101 modern twists. Our Burger variations elegantly jazz up flavor and aesthetics by adding ingredients to the burger and then topping the patty with spices, fruit, and cheese.
- When we say burger, we specifically mean a beef burger, an 80/20 blend made with ground chuck, brisket, short rib, or even tenderloin.
- Learn how to choose the best cuts of meat and the best methods for building a succulent burger and how to cook it perfectly.
- Discover why cooking the ultimate burger requires heating in a cast-iron skillet and why one never smashes a burger patty flat with the spatula.
- Find out why store-bought shredded cheese is not the best choice and what is. Explore new condiments like horseradish and specialty mustard.
- Learn how to decide whether to steam or toast hamburger buns, when to lay a dollop of condiments and most importantly, how to prevent overcooking a patty while patiently waiting for the cheese to melt.
