  • For Burger Scholar George Motz, a hamburger isn’t just a hamburger. It’s a symbol of ingenuity, a reflection of local traditions, and an important connection to our past. That’s why he’s made it his life’s goal to learn everything he can about the regional American burger, and pass that knowledge on to you! In today’s lesson, we pick out 5 more essential regional burgers that you need to try: the Cuban Frita from Florida, the Smoked Burger from Texas, the Green Chile Cheeseburger from New Mexico, the Loco Moco from Hawaii, and the Original Hamburger Sandwich from Connecticut. Let’s do it!

    I really enjoy this series, and George Motz in general ... but over the last couple years of watching this series, I am now under the impression that there are exactly 11 regional hamburgers, and the episodes are conveniently spaced out so that we have an appropriate amount of time to have eaten enough hamburgers to clog our brains with enough fatty hamburger goodness that we'll forget we already know about the "5 more" burgers featured in the new video.

Fortunately, once a year here in Northern VA, Wegmans will get a shipment of Hatch green chile and roast it, transporting me right back home with that beautiful, seasonal smell :)

    One of the greatest smells in the history of smells is the smell of roasting green chiles during season. I grew up in a little town in NM and we lived out in the countryside. We would drive by the plant where they processed the chiles on the way to our house. When it was chile picking season the air would be heavy with the smell of roasting chiles. My favorite time of year.

  • @jefferyshaw3990
    @jefferyshaw3990 4 місяці тому

    I'm quite partial to smoked burgers, though mine are done quite differently.
    firstly, the meat is mixed with salt, black pepper, paprika, chili powder, mustard, BBQ sauce, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and very finely diced onions. The onions soften up while cooking and help keep the meat moist, all the while it makes more from less so I can feed larger groups. it's a more complicated burger though, so I save it for special occasions like family birthdays or summer time pool parties.
    I'm no believer in measuring ingredients, it helps me to experiment and improve my own recipes by not having everything written down.
