Burgers & Bacon Cookbook

A very comprehensive book on grilling, burgers and bacon. I especially enjoyed the Bacon Bliss Pizza and the Udon (never thought to try Udon and bacon before). I don't normally grill or prepare burgers, but I do like a thin, crispy bacon and this book delivers on the bacon. After all these years in the industry, I finally had the honor of judging the WFC in 2023. It was amazing to watch the chefs create such an unbelievable array of burgers with so many techniques and flavors, from the perfect meat blends and the world's greatest cheeses to creative toppings, sauce injectors, and the most perfect buns ever! Now, go make the greatest burger you've ever made! The book is full of not only burgers, but sauces, condiments, and toppings for the luscious burgers. There is something in this book for everyone, including vegetarians. This book is absolutely packed with recipes from the World Food Championships from professional teams as well as home chefs and aspiring chefs. The book includes a wonderful reference chart to pair recipes with sides, aiolis and more. I loved the special toppings and the section on sweet treats, sauces and creams. The recipes are so detailed for everything you need including family sizes and alternative ingredients which helped make the combinations easier for us at home, and affordable for our budget. This would be a good book for those who are interested in this competition or who are really in to burgers and/or bacon and creative ways to cook them. Because these are food competition recipes, I don't know that most home cooks would recreate enough things in here as full recipes but might enjoy the components more.
