  • Burger Scholar George Motz and Alvin Cailan are going on the ultimate regional burger road trip-which includes a pit stop to eat America's original hamburger. Motz is a veteran road warrior: he’s logged thousands of miles in his car chasing down burgers all over the country. For this episode, Alvin will be Motz’s co-pilot as he takes The Burger Show host to Central Connecticut, home to some of the most unusual burgers on the planet-as well as THE birthplace of the original hamburger, Louis' Lunch.

      They both love the subject, Alvin is hosting "The Burger Show" ffs. Just because the restaurant is old school doesn't mean the host has to act like he's from the same time period. I would argue it's the opposite, he needs to connect to his viewers more than the site he's reviewing.

    Hey George, I'm from North Idaho in a small town called Coeur d'Alene. They have this burger joint that has been continuously running since 1908 I believe. It's called Hudson's Hamburgers. They were in USA today a few years back. They have quite the cult following. Very simple menu, burgers (fresh cut pickle, Vlasic) and slice of onion. NO FRIES! Hot ketchep/mustard if requested. If you ever make it up this way I'd be happy to show you around. Love the channel and keep the grease comin'!!

    Having lived in Meriden, CT, and being a burger junkie, I can confirm that all three of these places are amazing. Walking into Louis Lunch is like walking into an ancient temple devoted to the religion of the hamburger. If you are a disciple of the beef patty, you have to make the pilgrimage and pay your respects at some point in your life. Ted's steamed burgers are the juiciest, messiest burgers but they're so good that you will fight to keep it all together just so you don't lose a single morsel. And that melted cheese is glorious. As they noted in this episode, Shady Glen is like a living, breathing time capsule. You'll go for the fried cheese but you'll stay because the burgers, fries, and milkshakes are all incredible.
