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.

    Motz is the burger connoisseur. Worked at this place called Surf Club of Quogue a few summers back and this guy happens to be one of the board members. By my luck, I worked a private party with him and he showed me his slider recipe. This guy is phenomenal at was he does. Respect.

    Louis' Lunch in New Haven, CT is "recognized by the Library of Congress as the Birthplace of the Hamburger Sandwich."

    i swear all good foods come from "oh it was back in the time when people had no money and they made what they could with what they had"

    The Burger Belt is Tornado Alley. I guess that’s one way to tenderize meat.
