Hamburger

CHOW wades into shark's waters of perfection: the burger. Josh Ozersky, author of The Hamburger: A History and editor of New York magazine's Grub Street, confers with Gail Simmons of Top Chef and Food & Wine magazine. For Ozersky, it's the burger at Veselka in New York.

There's so many wrong things about this clip: 1.Wrote a book on hamburgers 2.Hamburger morphology 3.Burger orthodoxy 4.American cheese 5.The bun is essential to the burger (no shit?) 6.Crispy, salty pork element 7.American cheese 8.Refuses ketchup in a very snobby way 9."i'm not afraid to cut it in half" (watch out, we have a badass over here) 10.Presses the burger while he cuts it. 11.Too much of a cheap fuck to buy the girl a burger too. (talk about ethics)

"I'm a classicist, I believe in the Burger Orthodox" - I think you'll find a classicist is somebody who studies classics, for example Latin and Ancient Greek, not hamburgers....
