Burger Made of Ground Bacon

The burger above might look fairly ordinary, but the patty is not ground chuck or ground sirloin or any kind of ground beef. That, my friends, is 100 percent ground bacon, skillet-cooked ("to avoid having it break apart on the grill"), and sandwiched between two slices of pepper Jack cheese....

Burger King Reopens in Tokyo

Earlier today, our own Serious Eats overlord was lamenting the dearth of affordable eats in Tokyo. Will Burger King do, Ed? The chain closed a few years ago, but it's back. The travel blog Gridskipper reports that the line for a Whopper (or Whaler or what have you) at the Shinjuku outlet can be as long as 1.5 hours. A second BK will open in the Ikebukuro district later this month. Photograph from yuichi.sakuraba on Flickr...

The Sad State of American Burgers

Or, "When Doing What's Right Is Called 'Gourmet' " So this kinda gets my hackles up. A story in the Dallas Morning News headlined "Burgers go gourmet" takes on the issue of restaurants and burger chains that "take the humble hamburger to the next gastronomic level."...

Burgers and Hot Dogs on the Road

Yesterday I headed out to Aspen, Colorado, for the Food & Wine Classic. I'll be filing periodic reports from here, but since I knew I was going to be getting a lot of fancy-pants cooking in the next three days, I decided that my travel day would be hot dogs–hamburgers-and–pizza day. It actually turned into a fun food adventure day....

Love Song to a Cheeseburger

Craig LaBan, food critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer, was so inspired by the blue cheese–stuffed burgers at Philly's Good Dog Bar & Restaurant that he wrote a song about it. No truer words have been sung about burgers: All my life, I’ve been a burger chaser That perfect simple sandwich shouldn’t be so hard to find But how many times have I been sorry, after just one bite To find a fraud between the buns And it looks like LaBan's roundup of Philly's best burgers also doubled as an excuse to shoot footage for a wacky video to illustrate his song....

Grind Your Own, Or Not

If you'll humor me, I've got two more burger-related items for all my Meatheads out there today, and then I'll give the beef stuff a rest. The first is a set of photos from Joshua "Meatwave" Bousel that shows that it really isn't that difficult to grind your own before grilling your own. Those are Bousel's pix above; click on them to view the rest of the series....

All You Meatheads: Heed This Burger Advice

Before I founded A Hamburger Today and really started delving into Burgerworld, I was like most home cooks when it comes to this most delicious and iconic American dish. Yes, I bought the ground chuck in the grocery store, thinking it was perfectly adequate for grilling or throwing into the cast-iron skillet. This was wrongheaded, and Mark Bittman, in today's New York Times, wants to set us all straight....

Burger News Roundup

As editor of Serious Eats's burger site A Hamburger Today, I'm positively burger-obsessed. For any Serious Eaters struck with a similar affliction, here's a roundup of items from around Burgerworld. Enjoy! Felt-and-fabric burger and fries, from thisisloveforever on Flickr New York magazine's insatiable Gael Greene finds her new personal best burger: "Updating Old Homestead’s sidewalk seating with a nip and a tuck to pass it off as the new Prime Burger Café is clearly a bid to make the 1868 landmark seem cool. I’d say watching the glitz of their meatpacking-district neighbors had gone to the owners’ heads—except that the peppered bacon burger I’m barely able to wedge into my mouth may be the best burger I’ve ever eaten."
