The hamburger god George Motz is back on today's show, and it doesn't disappoint. George is a writer, a TV host, and the guy with the cool hair and an endless well of knowledge about the hamburger.

He hear about it all, as well as George's take on the modern burger scene.Also on the show, Aliza and Matt talk about the rebirth of the terrine in NYC restaurants.

Paul Fehribach is the author of Midwestern Food, A Chef's Guide to the Surprising History of a Great American Cuisine. Then, we take a field trip to New York City and visit Burger Scholar George Motz at his new restaurant, Hamburger America, to see what makes an epic hamburger. He walks us through some of the most iconic burgers he's tasted, their histories, and their different cooking techniques. George Motz is a filmmaker and author.

Motz is the pre-eminent expert on the history of the American hamburger and a scholar of different regional burger styles and their cultural significance. His 2004 documentary “Hamburger America” was made as a side project, but it went on to spawn books about burgers, a TV show about burgers, magazine spreads about burgers, a YouTube series about burgers and, coming, maybe, in July, a burger restaurant in the Lower East Side. This week, a revised and expanded edition of his 2016 regional cookbook called “The Great American Burger Book” is also being released. So let's start some beef!

George Motz is a well-traveled Emmy award-winning freelance filmmaker, author and photographer. He’s also been called the foremost authority on hamburgers by The New York Times, and he’s the author of Hamburger America, a State-by-State Guide to Great Burger Joints and a cookbook titled The Great American Burger Book. We met years ago when one of his other passions, the Food Film Fest, came to Charleston, SC, and his enthusiasm and passion for education and fun around food really inspired me. And since our meeting, he’s gone on to be something of a pop-up burger legend with his Smashburger events that he’s held all over the world. In short, the burger is probably one of the most iconic foods recognized as “American” around the world, and so it’s time to delve into a juicy discussion about it topped with plenty of trivia for the holiday weekend. 

From 2008: Hamburgers – okay, and French fries – are so much a part of American culture that it is no surprise that somebody like George Motz would attempt something as crazy as Hamburger America: One Man’s Cross- Country Odyssey to Find the Best Burgers in the Nation. And it’s not just a book – Motz created includes a DVD that captures all the sizzle, steam and personality of some of the best burger joints in America. What makes Motz an expert? Who knows – who cares?

When I made a list of interesting people I wanted to interview on camera for a series called Chewing the Fat, Alton Brown was at the top of the list. I have always found Alton to be interesting, provocative, smart, and funny, so we were thrilled when Alton agreed to do it. Who did we get to shoot, direct, and edit the Alton videos? None other than Hamburger America director and author George Motz. I'd never even heard of Luxembourg noodles until Alton Brown shared this story with us, but I sure do love the idea of noodles, crackers, and butter. The Feasting on Asphalt DVDs are available at Foodnetwork.com and the book is available at Amazon.com.

As he says, food connects all of us. Much food for thought, Alton. The Feasting on Asphalt DVDs are available at Foodnetwork.com and the book is available at Amazon.com.

When I made a list of interesting people I wanted to interview on camera for a series called Chewing the Fat, Alton Brown was at the top of the list. Why?

So one day Alton came over to Serious Eats World Headquarters and sat down for an hour and a half, one-on-one interview, which was shot, directed, and edited by none other than Hamburger America director and author George Motz.. Nominally the subject was Feasting on Asphalt 2: The River Run, Alton's Food Network series and its companion book. Alton and I ended up chatting about everything from the pleasure derived from feeding people to the art of the doughnut, the subject of the webisode we're posting here. The series may have run its course on the Food Network, but the subjects we discussed are timeless. So pull up a chair and watch as Serious Eats chews the fat (and the doughnuts) with Alton Brown.
