All About the Burger Book by Burger Beast

Cuban Guys Banner 468 x 60

All About the Burger book by Burger Beast was unleashed on April 15, 2019, by Mango Publishing. It features people and restaurants’ history important in the history of the humble sandwich with great factoids sprinkled throughout.

The All About the Burger book was written like an almanac with lots of historical dates. You can see the chapter breakdown below, which includes the foreword written by Hamburger America‘s George Motz.
