Bon Appétit joins burger scholar Chef George Motz, owner of Hamburger America, to see how the best smash burgers in NYC are made. Smash burgers got their name from the technique of smashing patties on a hot griddle to lock in flavor and create a crispy crust. Motz demonstrates how he makes The Chester, Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger, and his classic smash burger, which have made Hamburger America one of the most talked about burger spots in New York City.

While you can make a burger out of almost anything -- chicken, turkey, fish, plants -- most people think beef when they think burgers. Well, at least that's what Amiel Stanek thinks. He's here today to show you every way to cook hamburgers using chuck beef. You can't go wrong with a classic cast-iron skillet burger, but don't write off other... let's say less orthodox techniques, like Hibachi grilled or ironed. Seriously, the ironed burger is actually really good.
