The Great American Burger Book was the first book to showcase a wide range of regional burger styles and cooking methods. In this new, expanded edition, author and burger expert George Motz covers traditional grilling techniques as well as how to smoke, steam, poach, bread, and deep-fry burgers based on signature recipes from around the country.
George Motz is a well-traveled Emmy Awardwinning freelance filmmaker, author, and photographer. He has also been called the foremost authority on hamburgers by the New York Times and Americas biggest burger name by Eater LA.
In the spring of 2004, Motz completed a documentary film Hamburger America, which was nominated in 2006 for a James Beard Award, and was recognized in 2011 by the US National Archives as an integral part of American food history. The films success led to a state-by-state guide to hamburgers, also titled Hamburger America: A State-by-State Guide to Great Burger Joints. And in 2016, Abrams released his first cookbook, The Great American Burger Book. Motz can be seen on his show, Burger Scholar Sessions, on Complex Medias First We Feast. He lives in Brooklyn.
