May 28 is National Hamburger Day, and the holiday weekend is the perfect time to treat family and friends to the ultimate hamburger.
Burger expert George Motz, and chef Harry Hawk share their criterion and some surprising pointers for making great hamburgers.
At home, a “secret sauce” and special size burger cooked to a family’s liking (rare, medium, etc.) is easily accomplished, say the chefs. Based on this design, the “Motz burger” was born, and it’s acclaimed as the archetype for the ultimate hamburger.
In 2006 Chef Harry Hawk wanted to create the hamburger epitome for Harry’s @ Water Taxi Beach, Long Island City. He approached friend and regional hamburger expert George Motz to design a criterion, creating the Motz Burger. The pair are co-founders of NYC Food Film Festival: www.nycfoodfilmfestival.com.
