Harry's at Water Taxi Beach Wins Borough Burger Battle
Adam,
Cheese is an option (AM only) at WTB.
George is always very clear he isn't a chef. However, he has a clear idea of what he wants in a burger.
When the Motz burger was designed we had the cooking method and Sauce & Salt from Schnack. But basically I gave George veto power over everything.. for example I wanted to do a 1/4 # burger and it turns out he did as well, but if he had wanted something bigger or smaller we would have done that..
I had never ground meat before, and that is where George provided a lot of help; the grinding process is/was all his design.
Without George the Motz burger would not have been possible as he is 100% correct when he says he designed it to suit his own tastes.
Saturday's Burger Bash
A few quick comments on the reporting. The burgers are not scooped with an ice cream scoop although they certainly look like one; they are scooped with a "Food service" or "food portion scoop;" The scoop size we use is for a 1/4 pound. You could use that scoop for egg salad, burger meat or ice cream, if you really wanted to scoop /dip ice cream you'd want something more purpose built.
I would have liked thinner onions for the onion burger; but that would meant some machine to do that. Ours were sliced by hand by Kevin.
The balls once on the grill are cooked for 30 seconds, just long enough to put a small crust on the bottom, so when you flip and smash it, the raw meat doesn't stick. Then it's cooked for a few minutes and flipped once more. It's smashed once and flipped twice; never more and never less.
The pimento cheese was really fun to make, but also a bit of wide shot side there isn't some law on the books some where that says exactly what it should go into it.

When i did my burger eating tour of Ohio I took the opportunity to eat breakfast at a Steak N Shake. That meal was good and some day I hope to try a burger there as well.
