Product Description
Product Description
After a long day spent in one of his restaurants or taping a television show, what Bobby Flay craves more than anything else is … a crusty-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside burger; a fistful of golden, crisp, salty fries; and a thick, icy milkshake. Given the grilling guru’s affinity for bold flavors and signature twists on American favorites, it’s no surprise that he has crafted the tastiest recipes ever for this ultimate food trio.
Though he doesn’t believe in messing with delicious certified Angus chuck (just salt and pepper on the patty–no “meatloaf” burgers here), Bobby loves adding flavorful relishes and condiments to elevate the classic burger. Once you’ve learned what goes into making that burger (from how to shape it so it cooks up perfectly to melting the cheese just so), go to town with Bobby's favorite combinations of additions. Try the Cheyenne Burger, which gets slathered with homemade barbecue sauce and then piled high with bacon and shoestring onion rings, or the Santa Fe Burger, topped with a blistered poblano, queso sauce, and crumbled blue corn tortilla chips. And although Bobby’s personal preference is for beef, turkey can be substituted in any burger, and a handful of salmon and tuna burger recipes are included for those looking for leaner options.
After you’ve mastered the burger, discover Bobby’s secrets to cooking up the best French fries–whether they’re fried, grilled, or oven roasted, or made from spuds, sweet potatoes, or even plantains–as well as homemade potato chips and onions rings. Wash it all down with a creamy shake, from Fresh Mint—Chocolate Speckled Milkshake to Blackberry Cheesecake Milkshake (or a spiked adult variation).
With the opening of Bobby’s Burger Palace in Lake Grove, New York, on Long Island–and with more locations to come–Bobby has achieved burger, fry, and shake bliss in the world. For outdoor summer bashes and casual weeknight meals that even the kids will get excited about, Bobby Flay’s Burgers, Fries & Shakes will share that bliss and remind you just why the burger is such a beloved American original.

I've bought several burger books and a few of them have not really measured up but I like this one for its simplistic approach. The burger patties require a few and basic ingredients, I had always thought that there must be some sort of secret to making good burgers... Even though I am somewhat satisfied with the results that I have gotten so far, I think that I might tinker with the patty recipe a bit more reach perfection.
In terms of fries, which I just can't get enough of, the book explains the double frying method beautifully and simply... I always used to tell everyone that a single fry will either give you soggy and limp fries or crispy fries on the outside and raw potato on the inside which is really nasty to bite into! Also, the book confirmed my theory about soaking fires for a few hours before actually frying them!! There is good range of chips, fries, and wedges to go through... but there is beating just plain old good fries or chips!
The shakes in the book are also good but not spectacular. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that they will be a disappointment, I'm just saying that they are not Michelin Star material. I've tried three or four and was happy with the results, but the one that I had higher expectations for was the roasted marshmallow shake... it came out tasting like a plain vanilla shake... maybe I did something wrong, not really a catastrophe.
I enjoyed the presentation of the book and way it was printed, unlike all the other genres where illustrations are not necessary, I think printing a book on recycled brownish paper is fine, but not when it comes to cookery books! The book is a hardcover, which really good, and is printed on high gloss paper which really amplifies the abundant images in the book which make it a pleasure to flip through. Even my niece enjoyed the book as well as she was curious about making shakes and fries. Therefore, in terms of presentation, the book scores big marks as both children and adults can enjoy it. (Children will definitely need to be supervised when preparing any of these recipes, even the shakes, as they can cause nasty accidents or horrific messes!)
All in all a good book that will provide those who want to have good burger, fries and shake an alternative to driving to a junk food restaurant and pigging out! Easy instructions to follow and apply.

Maybe being an American living in London has something to do with my pleasure in this book, but I would purchase this book again just for the milkshake "recipes". A simple substitution turned the blackberry cheesecake recipe into a simply amazing strawberry cheesecake milkshake, toasted marshmallow,roasted pineapple, peach bellini, dark chocolate milkshake with "fluffy" coconut cream anyone? These make a seriously yummy alternative dessert on a hot (or even lukewarm) summer's day!

All American Food from All American Iron Chef
27 April 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Flay is super active these days, as are many of TV fame, with shows, cookbooks, products, restaurants, etc. Flay has written many previous excellent cookbooks, especially for us home cooks, e.g. grilling and Spanish-American fare.
This one hits one of his loves, that All-American fare of burgers, fries and shakes. His opening of restaurants around this trio inspired this recipe collection for the home.
There are 33 burger offerings, 10 for fries and rings, and 17 shakes. Also included is condiments and sauces, as well as sources and helpful tips on each of the three fare. I found this really useful with such hints as finger punch in burgers to prevent proverbial flying saucer dome of a burger, and dome cover to melt cheese, as well as double cooking fries and advice on blending shakes to really helpful in providing consistent, quality results.
Am so looking forward to trying this offering, but for now have really enjoyed serving: Trattoria Burger; Cheyenne Burger; Salmon Burger with Slaw; Sweet Potato Fries; and Pina Colada Shake; Toasted Marshmallow Shake.
This is really great cookbook for home! As are all Clarkson Potter cookbooks, rich layout with four color photos make it succulent to get your burger/fry/shake mojo going.

Not much to making hamburgers
15 April 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I just received this book today and am a little underwhelmed. It meets my criteria for cookbooks (lots of pictures!! except the one I really want to make) but he really doesn't do very much to the actual hamburger patty. His philosophy is pretty much to keep the actual burger simple with most of them only getting the addition of kosher salt and black pepper. All of his recipes really just toy around with putting different cheeses/condiments/vegetables etc. Before buying the book I read that there were going to be "no meatloaf" burgers but I thought there would be some spices or ingredients that he would put into the meat mixture to spice up each burger. In the end the book is wonderfully put together and I the recipes seem like they will come out fine.

A wonderful recipe book
26 May 2009
Format:Hardcover
Bobby Flay is seen all over the Food Network, but he's more than a pretty face, he's the owner and executive chef of seven top-rated restaurants. In this wonderful little book, Bobby turns his talent on that great American meal - hamburger, fries and milkshake. Included are 33 burger recipes, ten fries and onion ring recipes, seventeen milkshake recipes, and fifteen condiment recipes (if I counted correctly).
So far, I have made the Bolo Burger and the Garlic Butter Burger, the Sweet Potato Fries (with a cinnamon dipping sauce of my own creation - I think that cinnamon goes great with sweet potatoes), and the Banana-Milk Chocolate Crackle Milkshake, and they all came out great. I think that this is a wonderful recipe book, and I give it my highest recommendations!
