Description

'Hamburger America' is a documentary film that tells the story of eight deliciously unique hamburger locations across the country and the people behind the burgers. Each restaurant featured in the film has been around for more than forty years, uses only fresh meat, and in many cases can boast the fact that ownership has stayed within the same family. Not only is each establishment family run, but their booths, counters, and stools have seen families come together and grow over the years. The tenets of tradition, family, and pride are what make Hamburger America a truly American tale.

Customer Reviews:

Only 8 burger joints?!.......2006-12-20

While this tantalizing DVD did make my mouthwater (minus the butter burger and goober burger) I have to wonder why only 8 places in the entire UNITED STATES were interviewed. I bought this because I bought "Sandwiches That You Will Like" -which is awesome, by the way! This was recommended from my purchase of that DVD. It was good, just lacking I suppose. Only a four because I want more beef!!

WHERE'S THE BEEF?.......2006-11-28

Great documentary! This is one of those documentaries that'll make you want to drive across country just to get a burger at one of these joints.

There was one burger, the goober burger (Sedalia, MO): "NO way...absolutely no way will I ever eat one of those," I said. Thrity minutes later my husband place one of his beautiful hamburgers before me and said, "EAT." I ate my first goober burger and, 'IT WAS MOIST AND VERY GOOD." He didn't use too much peanut butter, just enough, and it was very good. It's really a pleasure being married to a man who is, although not professionally, a great baker and cook: I don't need to go anywhere, except our kitchen table, to enjoy great food!

HOWEVER, it would be nice to vist that place in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and that place in Texas, and that place in ....etc., etc., and etc. This DVD could turn out being very expensive!

True Love Affair.......2006-10-13

Hamburger America is a true foodie's love affair. I first encountered the film in Santa Fe, NM so I was able to eat at the inimitable "Bobcat Bite" whose green chile (they spell it with a "e" out there) burgers are as phenomenal as the decor of the place is simple. You won't strictly need the sides due to the size of the burger, but the cole slaw is fabulous.

Now that I live in Connecticut, I am soon due a pilgrimage to Louis's Lunch in New Haven and a side trip to try the steamed hamburgers in Meriden. There is nothing like a fine hamburger -- nothing! "Hamburger America" is a wonderful paean to the best burgers out there; there are so many others that deserve to be included, so do give us a sequel.

People, Food and Life.......2006-02-27

A film that chronicles people, their lives and passions, just as much as it chronicles burgers. The title is fitting, as one becomes familiar with different regions of America offering different renditions of an American Classic, the Hamburger.

Cheeborger! Cheeborger!.......2006-01-11

One of the warmest, most pleasantly lip-smacking film's ever!
Made by a guy with a super-sized heart, AMERICA is a joyous
celebration of the burger, and the down-home folks who create
some of the most wonderfully odd versions of it. Take it from
someone who has the HAMBURGER AMERICA poster hanging up - this
little treasure is a home library essential.
