"In a perfect World, you should be able to eat a burger with one hand," I feel the sentiment was shared by Jim Delligatti in '67. Bread is the crucial foundation. Dwight Schrute almost quit Dunder Mifflin, saying "Bread is the paper of the food industry. You write your sandwich on it." I agree with all critiques of unnecessarily tall burgers. Architecture is especially tricky when you're supposed to eat the damn thing.

The perfection hides in a well thought out combination of condiments and toppings, keeping 'will this improve it?' in mind as indeed the golden rule. The options are however so vast and tasty that the classic burger should be approached as a blank canvas instead of a finished painting.

Tony omitted something in this video which he told me in 1999. And my burgers have never been better since: "Don't mash the shit out of quality ground beef while shaping the burger. You'll end up with a compact nasty meatloaf kinda thing. Loosely, gently press it just enough to hold together; it should fall apart in your mouth when you bite it. And, as always, never ever cook the shit out of it."

I agree 100%. A good burger shouldn’t be difficult to eat. I hate seeing these two feet stacked high hamburgers. They may serve the creator’s ego, but doesn’t help my dining experience. As with pizza, a few quality ingredients well prepared is better than a bunch of crap thrown together.

Agreed. Personally, I find that when you put too in too many ingredients, like too many toppings on a pizza, they tend to mask each others' particular flavor, so the point of adding any one ingredient gets lost.

I love burgers and he is spot on. There’s so many crazy burgers with crazy ingredients added. Those type of burgers are only good for a picture to post it on Instagram but ideally are not good to eat. Nothing can beat a regular burger with quality ingredients

Great take on a classic bite - RIP brother

You can actually make a pretty good burger if you look at how the classic fast food burgers are put together-- particularly the ratio of ingredients and how they are stacked within the buns. I did this with a whopper and a mcdonalds double cheeseburger and both times it tasted great.

So missing him already. I re-read A Cook's Tour and tried to still picture him as still alive and not in the past tense - because he always whet your appetite for more. The man knew the his shit for sure.

I was skeptical but he is right about this. I find I don't enjoy a burger I have to fight to keep off my shirt!! I could argue about ketchup or Mayo. Some like mustard, Who Am I to say they are wrong. I like a thin slice of tomato, onion, and Lettuce. But I still want to eat it all and taste the meat!!

My two favourite things on a burger or on and about a burger rather that is too often missing is first a proper toasted bun I hate those soft fall apart shit buns you sometimes get, and second is a nice dressing the best one for me is super easy to make you need mayo and a really strong and sweet mustard that's it, mix the two to your own liking and spread it on your properly toasted bun next time making burgers you will not regret it! :)

So much ‘New York’ in one man! 😍😂 miss him! Such a legend

RIP Anthony Bourdain. Thanks for giving us your aspects on what it takes to make really good food, all while getting us out of the box to experience foods and flavors from other parts of the world. So for that, we say, well done and be at peace for eternity.

I do like the flavors of multiple items, lettuce onions, pickles, cheese, etc. But hate it when it's hard to hold the damn thing. I get his point & often thought the same thing in that the burgher was innovated in the first place for convince in consuming beef yet becomes inconvenient when you add too much to it.

Looking for burger advice and came across this. RIP

Spot On! My thoughts exactly 😁

The best way to add lettuce IMHO is to chop it up and blend it with the dressing (mayo) to make something resembling cole-slaw. Then pieces of lettuce might fall off but it the burger patty will not slide off it as easily as off a bare lettuce leaf. Also, if you are going to have some veg on top of the burger, place it there while the cheese is still soft.

The mayo should be next to the lettuce and tomatoes and the ketchup and mustard should be next to the meat, however you decide to build it. A common trick/technique is to pile the lettuce and tomatoes on the bottom and put the pattie on top - makes it visually different and taller but sometimes harder to eat - but the mayo/veg ketchup/ meat is key

I think McDonald's has the perfect structure and ratio for a burger, however their ingredients are awful. I mean look at it this way, McDonald is a huge franchise and they've probably spent billions on research on the best way to structure a burger, so it's not a crazy thought. I've always hated restaurants that make their burgers where either the patty is too big height wise or when they have in-house buns where it's more than can fit in your hand.

Awww, c'mon now, Chef! You KNOW that raw burger NEEDS some finely-diced onion and a few sprinkles of 'real bacon bits' (pre-cooked of course) in that patty! Wanna' a 'secret that ain't a secret' for a 'killer burger? I got one! IT'S THE BUN! Mix one-half 'Powdered Ranch Dressing w/one-quarter fresh-ground salt, & one-quarter fresh black-pepper, mix well, and put in a 'shaker'....sprinkle both halves of the bun, and place both halves on the 'flat' grill...(adding a little clarified-butter to the flat first) and then LIGHTLY toast the bun until bun-edges are getting 'browned...then assemble the burger.People go ape-shit for these burgers! (do NOT 'put a layer' on the buns...just enough so you see it's 'sprinkled' and no more, or they will have a 'bitter' taste from the Ranch mix!) This sounds a lot more complex than it is...it actually takes only seconds to'prep' the bun-halves...and the shaker-mix has excellent shelf-life.(this mix is great for 'fresh-made' chips from a mandolin...I discovered over time that by 'scrubbing' the potatoes first before slicing (LEAVE THE PEAL ON!) the flavor is greatly enhanced for 'chips' and the sliced-chips have a MUCH longer 'bucket-life' than 'peeled' ones do...the 'rind-on' chips have a much better flavor and texture from the fryer...sprinkle them with the 'Mix' shaker while still hot...and people will order MORE because they taste so good w/a burger! (this works even better with 'Texas Toast' style buns)
