“The” Burger expert George Motz is bringing his burger expertise to the Travel Channel in the form of a new show, Burger Land. The 2 episode pilot will air on Sunday September 2nd at 7 & 7:30PM. The show is based on his book Hamburger America and its revised edition (which features Miami’s El Mago de las Fritas).

The 2 episodes will feature 3 restos from Hamburger America and 1 new one chosen by a local burger expert.

Episode 1 – Wisconsin:

1) Wedl’s Hamburger Stand in Jefferson, WI

2) Village Bar in Madison, WI

3) Pete’s Hamburgers in Prairie du Chien, WI

4) Solly’s Grille in Milwaukee, WI

Episode 2 – New Jersey:

1) Rossi’s Bar & Grill in Trenton, NJ

2) Hamburgao in Newark, NJ

3) White Manna in Hackensack, NJ

4) White Rose System in Linden, NJ

Remember to spread the  word and mark the date on your calendar (Sunday September 2nd) so that Travel Channel knows that Burger Land needs to have a full season.

Once upon a time aka the early ’90s I used to really love having burgers from Miami Subs. I remember one of their burgers dripping juicy loveliness onto my favorite PJ Harvey t-shirt. At some point they lost their way and switched over to frozen patties. The good news is that as of July 3rd all locations will be selling their new Fresh Angus Steak Burgers.

The burgers have also all gone from single to double patty with a freshly baked brioche and multi-grain rolls option. My sources tell me it’s a conscious effort to go after the Five Guys market. I recently had one of their new Angus Burgers during the trial period in Hollywood and there is a giant difference in taste. I’m glad to see them do the right thing.

New Angus Burgers you can choose from:

Classic Super Burger: Double-stacked with lettuce, tomato, onion & mayo on a brioche roll.

Rodeo Burger: Double-stacked with Swiss American cheese, onion rings, chipotle BBQ sauce, lettuce & tomato on a multi-grain roll.

Nacho Ordinary Burger: Double-stacked with nacho cheese, jalapeños, onion rings, lettuce & tomato on a brioche roll.

Bistro Burger: Double-stacked with grilled mushrooms & onions, Swiss American cheese, South Beach sauce, lettuce & tomato on a multi-grain roll.

Big Havana Burger: Double-stacked with Swiss American cheese, sliced ham, pickles, mustard, lettuce & tomato on a brioche roll.
