Michael Symon covers types of burgers and recommended fat content for ground meat before making his ideal smash burger with American cheese on a toasted potato bun.
Guy Fieri's getting a burger bonanza. Chef Rocco DiSpirito garnishes a Giant Bloody Mary with Mini Cheeseburger and Friends, sells us on a Grilled Shrimp Burger with Fried Green Tomato and wedges in a Wedge Salad with Smoked Brisket and Blue Cheese. Chef Tiffany Derry delights with a Fried Chicken Burger and has us all beat with her Crispy Beet Fries. Chef Eric Greenspan dances with a Duck Fat Smash Burger on Brioche and perfects Pickled Onion Rings with Tarragon Ranch. Chef Christian Petroni brings us Bison Meatloaf Burgers with BBQ Sauce and perfect Patatas Bravas.
A roster of Food Network favorites, including Jeff Mauro, Amanda Freitag, and Michael Voltaggio, count down 10 of America's most iconic patties, from a no-frills classic in a New York City tavern to a Latin-inspired smash burger in Miami. The chefs break down what truly makes a burger legendary and finally settle the burger-lovers' debates over sesame seed vs. brioche bun, bold artisan cheese vs. perfectly melted American, and a thick pub-style patty vs. a crispy smashed edge. By the end, you'll be hungry, opinionated, and possibly planning a road trip.
This trip, Guy Fieri's grabbing burgers, marrow and big-deal Bangladeshi eats! First, an East Boston whisky joint is taking pub grub to the next level with a smokin' smash burger and prime-time pesto mozzarella sammie. Then, a Minneapolis spot is servin' up Ethiopian-inspired creative plates like flavor-bursting bone marrow and lip-smacking lavender nori shrimp. And in Columbus, Ohio, a Top Chef and GGG alumnus is dishing out the-bomb Bengali-American fare with spice-forward fried rice and chicken, plus legit lamb on craveable crunch bread.
