Product description

Review

For true burger obsessives, there is no other cookbook. ― Paula Forbes, Epicurious.com

“What a way to travel through America! George Motz takes us one burger at a time. I'll be locked on the Green Chile Cheeseburger page for my lesson from New Mexico." ― Bobby Flay

"In the land of the hamburger, George Motz is king, an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and passionate king who brings us not only the meat but heart and soul.” ― Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune

“This book does everything a great cookbook should: it tells the story of a food, places it regionally, and provides techniques, recipes, and photography to help you re-create in your kitchen what the author has created in your imagination. Motz travels the country to discover an astonishing variety of burgers (poached?! who’d have thought?) and gives us a proud tribute to one of the most lovingly embraced foods in America.” ― Michael Ruhlman, best-selling author of Soul of a Chef and Ruhlman’s Twenty: A Culinary Manifesto

George Motz is a well-traveled Emmy award-winning freelance filmmaker, author and photographer. He has also been called the ‘foremost authority on hamburgers’ by The New York Times, and ‘America’s biggest burger name’ by Eater LA. In the spring of 2004 Motz completed Hamburger America, his second documentary film which he shot, produced, edited, and directed. The film was nominated in 2006 for a James Beard Award and in 2011 was recognized by the US National Archives as an integral part of American food history.  The film's success led to a state-by-state guide to hamburgers, also titled Hamburger America, a State-by-State Guide to Great Burger Joints. And in May 2023, Abrams Books released his fully revised and expanded cookbook, The Great American Burger Book, available at booksellers everywhere. George can be seen on his show Burger Scholar Sessions on Complex Media’s First We Feast and is set to open his first restaurant in New York City (Hamburger America) this summer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Burgers! Simple is best.
Reviewed in Australia on 15 June 2020

Great book full of delicious ideas for the home of the hamburger. Here in Australia we have two types of burgers. ‘Plain’ : beef, tomato, onions, beetroot, tomato sauce (ketchup) lettuce on a toasted buttered bun. Or a ‘Burger with the Lot‘ : plain burger topped with a fried pineapple ring, bacon, fried runny egg and cheese!
George’s book strips it all back to simple ingredients beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A culinary life changing book!

My favourite episodes of The Burger Show feature George Motz as a guest; I found his manner of speech both intrigued and educated a person regarding the hamburger.

My Dad and I bonded over the creation of burgers and still enjoy cooking together decades later. I hoped this book would introduce us to a few interesting new recipes. I did not realize it would be a life altering purchase. I can honestly say that we will never go back to our old methods; every week we look forward to the next page and a new culinary delight. Also, the quality time we are spending cooking together again, is priceless.

Motz's pared down recipes allow the fantastic flavour of the beef and accents from uncomplicated condiments to be fully appreciated. The recipes are inexpensive to build, simple to follow, and unbelievably satisfying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb recipes in a beautiful hardcover book
Reviewed in the United States on 12 January 2020

I bought the hardcover edition and this book is all around fantastic.

Besides the great and varied recipes it is a pleasure own, hold and use. Thick stock paper. Beautiful and frequent full color images. Great succinct writing. Should last forever.

ONCE AGAIN the recipes are definitely THE main event here. I mean it takes hamburger cooking to an art. A tasty, delicious, glorious, cooking, and eating art. The rest of it (the book itself) is very tasty icing on a great tasting cake.

Kudos to George!!!

I just ordered another copy for my son.

I thought about getting it in kindle version but a reviewer said the images were out of place. After seeing the book I’m glad I ordered the hardcover instead.
I also ordered the companion hamburger places book. Can’t wait to get it.

O livro fala pouco sobre o hambúrguer, que era o que eu mais queria saber, trata muito de receitas. As receitas são muito originais e diferentes, dá vontade de fazer uma viagem pelos EUA só provando cada uma delas!!

Klasse Buch! Ich habe das Gefühl vorher noch nie richtig den Unterschied zwischen guten und schlechten Bürgern verstanden zu haben. Achtung! Nachteil ist das mir fast nirgends mehr die Bürger schmecken so wie daheim. Fazit: Könnte auch „Burgerbibel“ heißen.
