New York Style Pizza

@amycakes after you let it rise in the fridge take whatever you are not going to use and place in a ziplock bag that has been hit with a little cooking spray place then pop it in the freezer(one dough ball per bag). When you are ready for that next pizza just thaw in the fridge over night and pickup the recipe where you left off.

Burger King's New Breakfast Menu

@jim this is not an isolated incident with SE and this is also a new age in marketing. Even if a company gets a not so positive review but shows up on popular website it helps their overall traffic and rankings on the internet. Plus they did say they loved the Blueberry Biscuits and the the bottom line on the Cibatta sandwich is "Plus, at $2.89, it tastes no worse than a Starbucks sandwich at half the price." and the croissan-wich "Honestly, I enjoyed it, and it's less of a caloric bomb than the Dunkin' Donuts version"

Sounds like endorsements to me.

Burger King's New Breakfast Menu

I have suspected for a while now that some of the posts we see here at SE are really just poorly disguised ads and this article pretty much proves it. Go ahead and deny it SE, it's easy to do and the burden of proof is on me.

Consumer Reports' Burger Poll Names In-N-Out the Best, McDonald's the Worst

We don't have fudruckers any more but 5 guys are flavorless burgers that have ZERO seasoning at all. Is it hot and fresh? yup, but completely void of flavor unless you add a ton of stuff on there which kind of defeats the purpose.

The Burger Lab: In Search of the Best American Cheese

I agree that the deli sliced cheese is far superior to the packaged stuff. It seems far less processed and tastes better. I love the Land of Lakes Sharp American and the Boars Head American you can get from the deli.

The Burger Lab: How to Make Perfect Thin and Crisp French Fries

They are not paying you nearly enough Kenji.

As for holding the temp a beer cooler works great, they hold temps for an hour or more without dropping a degree.

As for you vinegar trick, I remember seeing DD&D and some little joint was blanching the potatoes with vinegar before cooking. This makes more sense now plus I would thing the slight tang would enhance the flavor if noticeable at all.

Nice work Kenji.

Only the Best at Hawkin's House of Burgers in Los Angeles

remove the hot link and one beef patty and you would have an easily manageable burger that I would eat in a heartbeat.

AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat La Frieda Burgers

When ever I would visit my Grandfather who was a farmer in rural MO he would make sure to take me to this little greasy spoon called Rosie's Diner where I would get a Cheeseburger and play Pacman. Those were some great times.

Culver's: An Above-Average Burger, with Some Consistency Issues

I have never had a bad burger at Culvers, they are always hot, fresh and juicy. I will say this though, I find that the Double is much better than a single as far as meat to bun ratio and the extra fat from the additional patty really helps pull it all together.

Video: Josh Ozersky Rants About a Bad Burger from Cheeburger Cheeburger

Welcome to airport food Josh. Now that airport might have some great food but I have never had good food in an airport.

Regarding Cheeburger Cheeburger, we have one here that is a stand alone restaurant and they cook all the burgers to order and to your liking. As far as burgers go they are pretty good, a little under seasoned but over all its not a bad burger by any stretch and the fries and orings are really quite good.

I suggest that Mr. O try to find a stand alone version of Cheeburger Cheeburger to see what they are really about. While I am sure it wont be on his list of best burgers, it will be a night and day difference over what he had at the airport.

Chain Burger Brackets: In-N-Out vs. Fatburger

aoppen and richopp, you guys are right on the money about 5 guys. Seriously bland and overpriced. I'll take culvers any day over them.

Chain Burger Brackets: Wendy's vs. Culver's

If Wendy's looses then this proves the poll is really about which name is more well known. Culvers kicks the shit out of Wendy's 12 ways from Sunday, and I kinda like Wendy's too, but it's no match for Culvers.

The Food Lab: Slicing Meat Against the Grain

@Jolivore

You don't need to know which way to cut it until after it is cooked. Once the meat is cooked and rested, pick it up and start to bend it like you are trying to snap it in half and you will see the grain of the meat and which way it runs. If you don't see it right way bend it the other way.

Blueberry Hill in St. Louis Doesn't Stand the Test of (Burger) Time

Reality Check: Carl's Jr. Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger

regarding peoples comments that how can it be advertising because he said he didn't like it. There is an old adage that any publicity is good publicity, also if you think about it, he liked it a lot more than I would have thought which does lean favorably towards them even if only slightly. Also there was something about how huge and in your face and clean that image is plus the link the to coupon that made me go hmmm.

I like the comparisons about how a burger is advertised to how it really looks but in this instance it was the first reaction I had and I simply voiced it. On a side note, don't we all know that pretty much every food that is advertised is never what it looks like?

Reality Check: Carl's Jr. Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger

As much as I love AHT and your articles Damon, the recent rash of articles that focus on big name fast food burgers sure smells like advertising to me.

10 Burgers in One Night at the 2010 Boston Burger Bash

you don't need gloves, all they do is give the cook a false sense of having clean hands. Those without gloves keep their hands far cleaner than those who wear them.
