  • 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.

    I grew up in NM, and nothing makes me more homesick than seeing anything prepared with Hatch green chile. We put it not just in our traditional NM cuisine, but on our burgers, our pizza, our pasta, our eggs---so so so very good. 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.

    A new episode of Burger Scholar Sessions means another opportunity to push the local Portland, Oregon burger-style, the "Little John" or "Farmer John" burger. The Little John is a half-pound beef patty with two slices of American cheese, four strips of bacon, two pieces of ham, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickle, and a fried egg. The Farmer John is double the Little John. These came about to feed the workers at local factories and lumber mills quickly and give them the energy to build America in the mid-20th Century.

    @jefferyshaw3990 Před 5 měsíci

    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.

    Blake's LottaBurger in New Mexico has the best green chili burgers! The only issue I have with green chili is sometimes you get super mild and then the next one you're burning your ears off. Great Channel great insight thanks.

    I wish everyone in the world could try a New Mexico home cooked green Chile burger. There'd be world peace. Especially a Mcdouble with green Chile. Because what makes Hatch green Chile so special isnt the decent heat, its the flavor and smell.
