The burger GOAT. If you don’t know about George, now you know. He pops up all over the city and country, but you don’t need to wait for that to score his epic burger. Head over to his brick-and-mortar joint, Hamburger America, in SoHo for his famous Fried Onion Cheeseburger and more.
The Burger: Fried Onion Cheeseburger (Tier 1). AKA the Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger. This burger’s smashed with a generous amount of onions and American cheese on a Martin’s potato roll with pickles on the side. A double burger is the way to go here, packing a punch of flavor. Wrapped up in paper, everything steams together perfectly.
Pro Tip: Wait a beat to eat this after unwrapping, they come off the griddle screaming hot. Pop up tickets open for presale on Instagram with a pickup time so waits are minimal. Walk-ups are usually available, too.
The Occasion & Vibe: Pop Up. Always casual, usually at a restaurant or bar where you can eat/drink inside and also enjoy their menu items.
The Location: Follow @motzburger to find out where and when.
