The History of the American Hamburger with Hamburger Historian, George Motz

from All on the Table with Katie Lee Biegel

George Motz is a hamburger scholar and the owner of Hamburger America, my favorite place to have a burger in New York City. With the 250th anniversary of America coming up, I thought, "what's more American than a burger?" I had so much fun talking with George about his years of research while traveling the country in search of the best burgers, what he thinks makes a great burger, and learning his tips for making better burgers at home. Fair warning, you're going to be craving a juicy burger after your listen to this episode. Also be sure to check out my YouTube series, It's Not Complicated, this week for a cameo from George, as I make my Logan County Burgers, cooked in a cast iron skillet.
