A Burger Scholar Breaks Down Classic Regional Burger Styles | The Burger Show

In the second episode of The Burger Show, host Alvin Cailan teams up with burger scholar George Motz to learn about the diversity of burgers across the U.S. Just like barbecue, the burger has absorbed local traditions-in places like Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Connecticut-that reflect a unique sense of regional pride. From the glory of deep-fried patties, to the mechanical wizardry of steamed cheeseburgs, Alvin receives a master class in regional burger styles.

First We Feast's "The Burger Show" is a new web series that explores everything about modern burger culture-from the rise of Instagram-bait stunt burgers, to the enduring influence of regional styles-through the eyes of Eggslut chef, Alvin Cailan. Alvin's breakfast-sandwich empire in Los Angeles put him on the culinary map, but it's burgers that are his true passion. Now he's in NYC to understand what drives his obsession, and he's linking up with folks like Adam Richman, Matty Matheson, and Binging With Babish's Andrew Rea to help him along the way.

2:45 Same with sourdough for bread. Very common that the dough is passed on for generations. In elementary school we visited a famous windmill in my town that bakes pumpernickel and the baker said they toss old loafes in every new batch they make. So you basicly eat pieces of bread that were made centuries ago. Love the idea of making new things by using old stuff. A piece of history in every bite!

I'm from West TN and im actually from a place called "Dyersburg" so whenever I first visited beale st. in Memphis I naturally gravitated towards the place called "Dyers Burgers" when I was super hungry haha. I honestly didn't know it was deep fried but I did hear the legend of the 100 year old grease. Its definitely super good and the milkshakes are great too. So yea, Tennessee is definitely a long state that changes the farther east/west you go with geography and culture. I went to school at MTSU so I love middle and east TN too :}

But now I don't and I can't get my steamed burger fix. I have to say that I'm really thankful for this show because I've lived in all four corners of the US, the top and the bottom middle as well, so... learning all kinds of different foods, burgers included, is the only way I'll ever get my fix for regional foods from regions I don't live in anymore.

Taking the steamed cheese concept but putting it in a wood smoked cooker would be amazing. Wood smoke infused cheese on a TN thin fried burger. Think I'm going to try that combination.

STEAMED HAMS

[@myman9566]

Steamed Hams (Doorbell rings) [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] Well, Seymour, I made it. Despite your directions. [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Ahhh, Superintendent Chalmers! Welcome! I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon. [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] Nyahhh (Principal Skinner exits into the kitchen) [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] GASP! Egads! My roast is ruined! But what if... I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Oh ho ho ho ho ho! Delightfully devilish, Seymour. (Principal Skinner takes off his apron and opens the window. He puts his leg over the window, attempting to step outside. Before he can leave, Superintendent Chalmers enters the kitchen) [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] Hmmm [THEME SONG] Skinner, with his crazy explanations, The Superintendent's gonna need his medication. When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations, There'll be trouble in town - tonight. [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] SEYMOURRRRRRRR!!! [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Superintendent, I was just, uh, just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise! Care to join me? [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Ughhh, ooh, that isn't smoke, it's steam. Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmmm, steamed clams... (Superintendent Chalmers exits the kitchen) [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Phew (Principal Skinner leaves the kitchen from the windowsill and runs across the road into Krusty Burger purchase hamburgers) [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouth-watering hamburgers! [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] I thought we were having steamed clams. [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] No, no, I said steamed hams. That's what I call hamburgers. [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] You call hamburgers steamed hams? [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Yeees. It's a regional dialect. [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] Uh-huh. What region? [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Uhhh-pstate New York? [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] Really? Well, I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase steamed hams. [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Oh, not in Utica, no, it's an Albany expression. [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] I see. You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger. [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Oh ho ho ho nooo T. Patented Skinner Burgers. Old family recipe. [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] For steamed hams? [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Yes [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] Yes. You call them steamed hams, despite the fact that they are obviously grilled. [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Y-- You know th-- One thing I sh-- 'Scuse me for one second... [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] Of course. (Principal Skinner leaves the table and opens the kitchen door walking inside. As the door swings open, it is clear that the kitchen is on fire. He walks back out and yawns) [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Well, that was wonderful. Good time was had by all. I'm pooped. [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] Yes, I should be g--- (Superintendent Chalmers notices the fire through the swinging kitchen door) [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] GOOD LORD! What is happening in there? [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Aurora Borealis... [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] A---Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen? [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] Yes. [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] May I see it? [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] No. (Principal Skinner leads Superintendent Chalmers outside) [SKINNER'S MOTHER] Seymour! The house is on fire! [PRINCIPAL SKINNER] No, mother, it's just the Northern Lights. [SUPERINTENDENT CHALMERS] Well, Seymour. You are an odd fellow, but I must say - you steam a good ham. (Superintendent Chalmers starts to walk away. Principal Skinner stands in front of his burning house) [SKINNER'S MOTHER] Heeeeelp! HEEEEEEEELP!!!

I love all regional foods, pizza, chicken, burgers, and anything that tastes awesome

[@mrthomas7511]

I traveled through Oklahoma helping a buddy move back to Illinois. I wish I knew about Oklahoma burgers!!!

[@motion.resolved]

From UK and I love finding out about different types of burgers like this. Excellent video. In the UK (and I'm sure in the US) in the last 10-15 years there has been a lot of burger chains popping up focusing on "Gourmet" burgers, so probably most famously GBK (Gourmet Burger Kitchen) where they add all sorts of weird and fillings. I was into it way back when, but now I'm back to the basics - smashed seasoned meat, cheese, ketchup, yellow mustard, pickles and onions (raw or fried - in many ways I like the crunch of the raw onion) in a bun (toasted on the inside preferable) nothing else required (apart from good fries perhaps :) ) Therefore, totally agree with the point he makes at 10:33... ps subscribed!

[@RexGalilae]

I have the same preference and I think you'll love the Oklahoma Burger for the same reasons You get some deeply fried bits of onion mixed with almost raw bits of onion it's flavor profile is beautiful

"Grease is a condiment" - USA national motto

[@trevorsalmon3748]

My neighbor across the street growing up in Florida had his own steamed burger rig, looked just like this one but bigger. I didn't know it was a regional thing, I just know he would always invite our family over if he was doing a burger cooking day. He even opened a restaurant for a short period of time, but it sadly never took off. Those steamed burgers were some of the best damn things I ever ate. Nothing fancy about them, just traditional toppings and tasty meat and cheese.

[@RickeyWinsAgain]

I combine TN and OK methods. Mainly TN, but I put those thin sliced onions on before the cheese and then dip that sucker. Madman!

[@HomestarCrawler]

Steamed hams? I thought this was going to be a review of "steamed clams". Must have misheard.

[@Victor-Baxter]

It’s a regional dialect

[@masonshappley122]

DYERS IS THE BEST. when they moved locations they had a security team to guard the grease to get to the new location. #DEDICATION

Frying in the same grease without ever changing it? How does it work, it sounds extremely unhealthy.

[@astrosloths_are_go]

1. They filter it each night to remove food particulates and contaminates. 2. As the grease reduces over time, they add fresh grease. So it's not the same grease every single night, it's cycled.

[@Whitepaint]

They use the marble for the heat extraction, which helps to keep the meat cold.

Wow!!!!!! This is an outstanding program.
