Each summer, thousands of cooks - both amateur and professional - compete in the Build A Better Burger recipe contest, a winner-takes-all national
cook-off at Sutter Home Family Vineyards in Napa Valley. In this collection marking the 15th anniversary of the cook-off, best-selling cookbook author
James McNair presents a mouth-watering look at the contest, including each of the 44 recipes that have won awards since Build A Better Burger began.
An impressive list of culinary professionals - from Thomas Keller and Mark Miller to Marion Cunningham and Arthur Schwartz - have judged the BBB cook-ff
over the years. Twelve former judges, including Bruce Aidells, Cindy Pawlcyn, and Sheila Lukins also share their creative burger recipes in
Build A Better Burger.
Some of the innovative and tasty burgers, representing the best of the more than 50,000 contest entries since 1990, are Tuscan Burgers Bruschetta,
Mustard-Grilled Lamb Burgers with Grilled Eggplant Salsa, Hawaiian Tuna Burgers with Maui Wowee Salsa, Casablanca Burgers with Citrus-Olive Relish
and Harissa Aioli, Cuban Pork Burgers, and San Francisco Cioppino Burgers.
To complement the burgers, Jeffrey Starr, Sutter Home's culinary director and executive chef, suggests a wine match for each one and offers general burger-and-wine
pairing tips. The winning recipes in Build A Better Burger
prove that American ingenuity is alive and well when it comes to building the perfect burger.
