Chef Hubert Keller, owner of the Burger Bar restaurants in Las Vegas and St. Louis, is known for turning an ordinary burger into an extraordinary culinary affair. The "build your own" phenomenon has taken off across the country and within his book is a collection of burgers organized by type of meat, poultry, fish, vegetable and even sweets. Keller also shows how "DIY" burgers can easily be disassembled and reassembled to suit individual tastes.
Filled with recipes like Burger au Poivre, Mustard Seed Chicken Burger, BLT Turkey Club Burger, homemade sauces and ultra thick milkshakes, this book will have you craving a burger 'round the clock.
