I guess if you want to know more than 100 ways to cook a hamburger this would be a good reference. I wasn't all that interested.

The sections on fries and shakes are minimal and not very helpful.

I did learn one usable thing. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the center of the raw pattie so that it doesn't arch up while cooking. This prevents the need to flatten the hamburger with a spatula while it's cooking, thereby saving the juices.

Needless to say, More...

So far, I've enjoyed this book a great deal! Fascinating ways to enhance the burger, and tips on fries that I will try. I have yet to read about shakes. I will definately crack this book open many times on my countertop!

Well, since I am unhealthily obsessed with Bobby Flay, I had to read his cookbooks!!! This one had lots of good advice for burger cooking, and sides, and milkshakes. It all looked really good. The only thing I found sort of annoying was that all the burger recipes were exactly the same; apparently the whole point of the recipes was to put different toppings on. Whatever. The cookbook was well written, AND it had full color photographs. :)

This cookbook is not meant to be one you reach for every day. It targets a specific audience- omnivores looking for a junk food hit. It gives classic recipes and creative spins on old favorites. Try the sweet potato fries.

A solid, basic hamburger book, but nothing extraordinary or special. If you have several burger books, as I do, this ads nothing new, but would be a nice little book for a beginner cook or someone with no grilling/burger cookbooks.
