George Motz on Hamburgers, America, and Secret Sauce
America has gone hamburger crazy since the last book came out. There's no question about that. Not because of the book, there's just a general awareness about eating hamburgers. The economy has definitely changed, as have people's eating habits, and they're more likely to get beefy hamburgers than a steak sometimes.There's definitely been an uptick in gourmet burgers happening out there. And sort of middle of the road, there's this gourmet, downscale burger that's happening, which is great. It takes from both sides: I don't want to pay a lot for my burger, but I want to eat something that's made from great ingredients. Shake Shack, New York, but all over the country, I think this is happening all over the place now.
Yes, there's actually two major things. Smashing burgers, which people started doing years ago — decades ago — but for some reason stopped doing it. The difference between smashing burgers and grilling preformed patties is — those are the two standard ways to make a burger — for a long time you put a preformed patty onto a flat top griddle or a grill and that was how you did it. But there was a method that was completely forgotten about which is starting to come back in America which is the smash method. And that's when you take a ball of meat or a scoop of meat, you throw it on top of a flat top griddle and you smash it flat once while it's on the flat top and it smashes into the shape of a burger.And now what's happening is they're doing it at Five Guys and they're doing it appropriately enough at a place called Smashburger . The whole trend of smashing burgers is really picking up. Which is not surprisingly one of my favorite ways to make a burger. I would actually say more than half of the burgers in the book are smashed burgers.
So why is smashing a burger a better way to do it? When you smash a burger, it completely changes the integrity of the cooking process. Totally. When you hand-form a patty, the heat from your hands slightly cooks the fat and creates sort of a barrier between the inside and the outside of the burger. Which can be good and can be bad. Something that happens when you smash a burger is that is actually makes the beef slightly crumbly. The beef is actually not being held together by pressing it and forming it, the beef is being held together because some of the fat is melting as you cook it and it's barely staying together.

@SportsGuy2194 lol Wtf are you talking about?
