Chef Matt Abdoo shows how to make his delicious Diner-Style Double Burger, the dish that helped him win the title of Burger Bash Champion at the 2019 New York City Wine and Food Festival.
Use a gentle hand when forming the patty for this burger. After stacking the burger patty on the bun with the cheese, return to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes to get a gooey melt, and then resume building your burger.
Bobby Flay tests the remaining seven finalists by having them put their culinary point of view on a classic American dish – the burger! The finalists must whip up their ideal burger while sharing personal stories and their connections to their dish. The best burger lands a place on the menu of Bobby's new restaurant venture Bobby's Burger Palace.
Then, Guy Fieri and USA WEEKEND Magazine associate editor, TJ Walter, surprise the finalists on the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, challenging each of them to create a dish using a basket of international ingredients for a group of returning American soldiers.
The winner learns that his or her recipe will be featured on the July 3-5th cover of USA WEEKEND Magazine, and another finalist is eliminated.
This trip, Guy's signing up for a meat-crazed master class. In Portland, Ore., the craft-cooking family joint with a chef who butchers, cures, preserves and smokes everything in-house, from headcheese to great-grandma's fried chicken recipe. In San Carlos, Calif., the pastrami-crazed neighborhood spot crankin' out burgers, cheesesteaks and signature sammies.
Guy Fieri checks out some places doing America's favorites: Burgers done every which way at a joint run by culinary school grads in Dallas; the Arizona pizza joint where father and son are rollin' out the old family recipes; and the Seattle chili shack where they'll even put their signature item on mac and cheese.
