Burger Bash - James Beard House, New York, NY

The highlight of the year so far has to be the Burger Bash at the James Beard House. Speaking were Hamburger America man George Motz, and meat guy Josh Ozersky. On hand to cook the burgers was Harry Hawk. Among the highlights were pimento cheese burgers (old hat to the Atlantans in the house), and the New Mexico green chile cheeseburgers. I'd never seen the kitchen at the Beard House look quite like this - they were knee-deep in fries, onion rings, ketchup bottles and Martin's potato rolls. I imagine the place is going to smell like grease for quite a while.
