Giveaway: Enter to Win This Panasonic Breadmaker

Fresh white bread from England. Seriously, I don't know whether there's a significant difference in the water, the flour, the way the flour is treated or what, but it just isn't the same. After that, it's hard to compete with a nice, fresh baguette.

The Burger Lab's Top Ten Tips for Making Better Burgers

So I know I'm coming very late to this conversation, but I heard once that the fat from the cheese on the top of a burger and a smear of mayo/special sauce on the bun on the bottom of the burger act like a seal to protect the bun from disintegrating from the juice of the burger. Is that pure myth, or is there any truth to it?

10 Burgers in One Night at the 2010 Boston Burger Bash

I personally thought that the Bristol Lounge burger was crazy rich with that béarnaise sauce, too rich for my blood. Then again, that might have been because it was burger number 8 for me and I was struggling at that point.

That said, the best part of it for me was that there was no burger that stood out as bad. I thought they were all very good and it was tough picking a top 3.

AHT Poll: What Type of Mustard is Best on a Burger?

You get sweet things from so many other burger additions (grilled onions, ketchup, bbq sauce, whatever), a nice, tangy, spicy mustard adds a good balance. I don't usually have mustard on my burger, but if I do, I like a light spread of good english mustard. All you need is a small dollop, but it adds a great tang and a sharp bite.

Cook the Book: 'Burger Bar'

Sharp Cheddar cheese melted on one side and a light scraping of mayo on the other. The fat from both keep the juices from getting into the bun and keeps them around the burger for total messy deliciousness. I don't understand the physics of this, I just know it works.
