What the creator captured
Mike Chen Clips & BEST Eats embarked on a quest for America's legendary burgers, highlighting a massive 13-ounce patty in Miami and the iconic cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy in the Twin Cities. He was particularly stunned by a unique folded cheese burger in New York City that used the beef patty itself as the bread for a grilled cheese. His ultimate takeaway was the appreciation for simple, well-executed burgers that prioritize beefy flavor and juicy textures over fancy ingredients.
