The definitive guide to creating the most mouthwatering burgers by the “foremost authority on hamburgers” (New York Times), Emmy Award–winning filmmaker, YouTube’s Burger Scholar, and author George Motz—expanded and updated with new and improved recipes
The Great American Burger Book was the first book to showcase a wide range of regional burger styles and cooking methods.
