In the fourth season of Food Paradise, episode two titled "Hamburger Paradise 3" takes viewers on a mouthwatering journey through the United States in search of the best burgers.
The episode begins with the iconic Juicy Lucy burger at Matt's Bar in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Juicy Lucy is a classic American burger with a twist. Instead of topping the beef patty with cheese, the cheese is stuffed inside the patty, creating a delicious explosion of cheese with every bite.
Next up is the famous ShackBurger from Shake Shack, a modern fast food chain that started as a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park in New York City. The ShackBurger is made with 100% all-natural Angus beef and topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and their special ShackSauce.
In Los Angeles, California, the show features the Father's Office burger from Father's Office pub. This burger is not your typical American burger as it doesn't come with ketchup or mustard. Instead, it's topped with caramelized onions, applewood bacon compote, Gruyere and Maytag blue cheeses on a French roll.
The episode then travels to Chicago, Illinois, where the famous Au Cheval burger, also known as the "single cheeseburger," is featured. This burger has been named the best burger in America by several publications and consists of two beef patties, melted American cheese, pickles, dijonnaise, and a soft egg.
Moving to Austin, Texas, the show features the Hopdoddy Burger Bar's Llano Poblano burger. This burger is made with Angus beef, apple-smoked bacon, pepper jack cheese, and topped with a roasted poblano pepper, caramelized onions, and chipotle aioli.
In Miami, Florida, the episode makes a stop at Kush Wynwood to try their Frita burger, a Cuban-inspired burger made with a blend of spicy chorizo and ground beef topped with crispy potato sticks and served on a Cuban roll.
Finally, the show wraps up in San Francisco, California, with a visit to Gott's Roadside. Gott's Roadside is known for their California-style burgers, which are made with grass-fed beef, topped with bacon, smoked cheddar, and barbecue sauce.
Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to a variety of burger styles and toppings that showcase the diverse flavors and cuisines of America. From classic American burgers to Cuban-inspired blends, this episode of Food Paradise takes viewers on a delicious journey through the best burger joints in the country.
