The All About the Burger book by Burger Beast was unleashed by Mango Publishing on April 15, 2019. It features the history of people and restaurants that are important in the history of the humble sandwich, with fabulous factoids sprinkled throughout.
All About the Burger Book
The All About the Burger book was written like an almanac with many historical dates. The chapter breakdown below includes the foreword written by Hamburger America‘s George Motz.
