PrintThe Butter Burger, in Glorious Greasy Motion
To get you amped for tomorrow's burger event at Water Taxi Beach, I thought I'd dig into the Serious Eats archives and pull the following video to the front page here for insight into what makes a proper Butter Burger, one of the three regional American burgers being served tomorrow. Enjoy!
This clip is an excerpt from burger documentary Hamburger America by filmmaker and burgermeister George Motz. The complete video is available on DVD at Mr. Motz's website, HamburgerAmerica.com

That looks insanely delicious and gross at the same time. I didn't get to have one of these last year and I'm missing the Burger Bash this year :(
When will there ever be a real butter burger in my future?

Josh: I'm sorry you can't make the bash this year, but if you're really craving one of these, they're not that hard to make ;)

I don't think I could make this for myself in good conscious. Now, if someone else served it to me, that's a whole other story...

This burger frightens me.
...But I'd still eat it. And then waddle over to that heart hospital.

@JEP: Wow. That's high praise for the filmmaker. I'll mention it to him next time I talk to him.
@roboppy: Tomorrow is your chance. We've set up a portable heart hospital on the beach.

Ye gods...

Cannot reconcile desire to eat burger with...desire to avoid heart attacks...

Yeah. It's a pretty intense burger. A sentimental favorite—it and I were both born in Milwaukee—but not an actual favorite.
