“I’ve been obsessed with burgers, easily for about 25 years now. Hamburger America is the name of the documentary film I made in 2004; I have since then written five books, I’ve had three TV shows, and now a restaurant.” Today Bon Appétit spends a day on the line with George Motz, burger scholar and owner of Hamburger America.
