Faith Middleton's Food Schmooze

What makes burgers so irresistible? In this favorite from the archive, Faith and the gang muse over the perfect burger, from the nuances in beef, to the ratio of toppings, to the types of buns. Burger love abounds. We’ll share your regional recommendations and talk to Josh Welch, a cattle farmer who also co-owns Graze Burgers, a farm-to-bun burger restaurant in Westerly, Rhode Island. Faith asks the executive chef  of 1000 North (one of Michael Jordan’s restaurants) exactly what’s in the best burger she’s ever  had, and we’ll share the latest vintage of Clos des Lumieres, a boxed red wine from France that pairs as well with burgers as French fries.
