  Rejoice. Stuffing a burger with all your favorite savory ingredients just got infinitely easier. If you’ve ever attempted the stuffed burger, you immediately know how difficult it is to grill a perfect stuffed burger, without the meat falling apart or the stuffing leaking through causing a smokey mess. The Stuff-A-Burger Press offers two stuffed-burger sizes: a mammoth ¾-pound burger or, using the insert, a substantial ½ pounder. It also comes with a grill cage so your burger doesn’t fall apart when flipping. Stuff-A-Burger Press $12

• How A McDonalds Hamburger is Photographed

  In Burgers, Food, Lifestyle / 1 October 2012 / 0 comments

  

  Everyone who’s ever opened up a Big Mac box knows the pain and disappointment that follows the first glance of the fast food burger. For years its been quite quite comical comparing the thick, juicy and flame grilled burger as seen in print and commercial advertising and the rainy day grey, soggy and deflated product that’s handed to you at the counter. McDonalds hits the question head on in this attempted documentary on what goes into photographing a big mac for commercials. They actually do a halfway decent job of putting themselves out there and exposing the hours of cosmetic steps that go into a photo shoot (lighting, photoshop touch ups and intricate placements), while still maintaining some integrity by sticking by their word on having the same ingredients photographed as sold in restaurants. While that verdict still remains questionable on the ingredients part, kudos to McDonald’s for attempting to take on the long laughed at advertising vs product debate.

Add the onion, grill seasoning and pour in half the bottle of beer. Mix well. Drink the rest of the beer and let the meat marinate in the fridge for an hour so that the meat firms up and the flavors develop. Cook on either an outside grill, grill pan, or saute pan until cooked to your desire of doneness. Add the cheese right before the burgers are cooked to your liking to melt it.

  From pedigreed fast-food joints to nouveau chophouses, the battle for patty supremacy rages on. NY Timeout tracks down 20 contenders to add to your list. By the Food & Drink staff Coppelia With every buzzy new eatery flaunting its own chefly burger, pricey patties are on the rise. But Julian Medina bucks the trend with his affordable entrant, the Frita Cubana, at this 24-hour Latin diner. He doesn’t skimp either—the jaw-stretching stack features airy chicharróns and spiced roasted pork, piled atop a plump Swiss-covered burger made with sirloin, short rib and skirt steak. Pickles, red onion, crisp Boston lettuce and fresh tomato slices offset the richness, a slick of sambal-spiked mayo adds some zip, and a golden-brown potato bun holds it all together. 207 W 14th St between Seventh and Eighth Aves (212-858-5001). $8.95.
