So sad to read this. I live out here and love his "Throwdown" episode on Burgers where he insists the burger must be medium rare.
I think the law is just a lame excuse. If chains like Outback and Boulder Creek will make me a medium rare burger everytime, there is no excuse for this nonsense.
Hopefully Mr. Flay will read this and correct. Otherwise, I'll be at the American Roadhouse a few miles down the road on Rt 25 per the NY Times review.

The Hamburger Fatty Melt, a Burger with Two Grilled Cheese Sandwiches as Its Bun
My college roommate invented this at the Oswego, NY college dining halls in 1980 when he would take a grilled cheese apart and stick a double cheeseburger (just the patties) in the middle. It got to the point where he would just say "Bob Burger" and they would do it for him.
I for one, a burger nut, rarely touched the low grade, over-cooked institutionalized burger meat. How sad since it was all prepaid and all you wanted to eat. Still managed to gain 20+ pounds anyway!

Lettuce? Whaddya, crazy? Why? It adds nothing. Maybe some arugula (strong flavor) under the burger if you need a built-in salad, but plain old lettuce would just disappear.
But tomato in the grilled cheeses sounds good. Gotta have tomato on a cheeseburger.
I'm thinking maybe blue and swiss/Gruyère/Comté for the cheeses (one each), if not all extra-sharp cheddar. If using jalapeño cheddar (or better yet, habanero cheddar), only in one sammy, plain cheddar on the other. Otherwise the chiles will overwhelm everything else.
Bacon only if using cheddar. And not too much. Still have to taste the burger. Balance is important.

Love the idea -
Much to the shargin of my wife I am going to try this idea out tonight. The biggest challenge to me is to ensure proper timing so that everything is at the proper heat to ensure that the butter, cheese and beef blend together properly and not congeal.
Cheers!

Gotta love it! I will try it soon using the thin bread squashed down. Here's one that everyone already knows, but as long as we are trying for the ultimate heart attack:

Anyone actually ever been there?

This is the number one most fantastic American innovation.

He's opening another BBP in Bergen County at one of the many malls in Paramus--he said he's keeping them close to home so he can go out and check on any problems.
One thing folks are forgetting is that it's not a chef making the burgers in back--it's someone who is making not much more than minimum wage who had maybe a week's worth of training before taking the griddle. I worked in a restaurant (Farrell's--many years ago) making hamburgers and I didn't know much of anything--we were showed how it is supposed to look before you flip it over for rare, medium and well. If we made a mistake, people sent their burger back and we tried again. I doubt if they are even hiring culinary students--if anything, they're hiring former McDonald's and Burger King employees--at least they have "experience".

Your Napa Valley Burger that comes with goat cheese, watercress, and lemon-honey mustard sounds fabulous. I would love to try one. In case you didn't know watercress is a powerhouse of nutrition and you can learn more by reading http://www.newrinkles.com/index.php/archive/did-you-know-watercress/

I'll be cooking up my version of the fatty melt burger today. No bacon, but I'll probably do a double patty with an extra slice in-between, and add wasabi mayo for some kick.
Has anyone tried a burger between 2 pizza slices with the points cut/chewed off? (Plain or pepperoni?) The $1 pizza place is around the corner, so I'm thinkin'...... cheese, tomato, bread, burger......

My husband and I mad these last week and they were delicious, if somewhat difficult to get the mouth around.
