Cover Story
This Is the Story of the Hamburger
Its rise from the lowly patty to food-world high art. By Benjamin Wallace. Plus: A taxonomy of the most inventive burgers in town; Adam Platt, Robin Raisfeld, Rob Patronite, and Alan Sytsma debate the best; Daniel Boulud’s blind secret-sauce taste test; and Silicon Valley’s race to create a meatless (but still bloody) taste-alike.
On the Cover: Sculpture by Carl D’Alvia in collaboration with Victoria Granof for New York Magazine. Photograph
