In it, author George Motz expands on the selection of burgers focused on in the film to showcase 100 of the best hamburgers in America. While he thinks they are all some of the best, he …
The Burger King in Mattoon, Illinois is not what you’d expect from a typical Burger King chain restaurant. You won’t find a creepy looking life-size puppet king or a 5,000 calorie omelet sandwich or a bacon and cheese Whopper or a cardboard crown that you’d pretend you are taking for your little sister but really …
George Motz probably knows more about hamburgers than anyone ever. He has probably eaten at more hamburger joints than anyone ever too.
