Anthony Bourdain
"A fine overview of the best practitioners of the burger sciences."
Daniel Boulud
"As a French Chef who took an unexpected approach to the American burger, I'm glad that George has put together this fantastic guide to 100 of the classics."
Book Description
Whether you're an armchair traveler, a serious hamburger connoisseur, or a curious adventurer up for a road trip, Hamburger America will be your guide to reclaiming this precious slice of Americana.
No other food says "America" like the hamburger, and documentary filmmaker George Motz has made it his personal mission to save our nation's unique burger identity. He has traveled across the country in search of the best burger joints - those that have survived outside the fast-food mainstream - and has documented their rich histories and one-of-a-kind taste experiences.
About the Author
George Motz became a hamburger expert after his acclaimed documentary "Hamburger America," featuring eight classic burger joints, premiered on the Sundance Channel in 2005 (DVD is included with this book). The film received a nomination for a James Beard Award, and George found himself teaching a course in hamburgers at NYU. Hungry for more, he became obsessed with finding 100 of the best burgers in the country. The book Hamburger America is the result of endless research, many long drives, short flights, belly-busting taste-tests, and thousands of photographs. He lives in Brooklyn, NY with his vegetarian wife and two children.

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.

George Motz may be America's foremost hamburger expert. Since the release of his documentary film Hamburger America (on the Sundance Channel in 2005) he has been asked daily of his opinion of where to find some of the best burgers in the country. He has taught a course on hamburgers at NYU, consulted for Wendy's Hamburgers, and NY chef Harry Hawk named a burger after him. In 2006, Hamburger America became required viewing in a food course at Princeton University and the film was nominated for a James Beard Award.
A long time ago, George tried to explain to a reporter that he was a filmmaker, not a hamburger expert, but the press would have none of that. So George has resigned himself to the fact that based on his travels and intensive research maybe he really does know a lot about burgers. His passion for greasy nourishment and American nostalgia probably helps.
In his real life, George is an award-winning freelance Director of Photography based in New York City. Over the past 15 years he has worked on numerous television commercials, films, music videos, documentaries, and promos. Notable clients include: Subway, NJ Lottery, AMC, the Biography Channel, VH1, MTV, Oxygen, ESPN, The History Channel, A&E, Spike TV, PBS, ABC Family, Airtel, FischerSpooner, LCD Soundsystem, the Florida Marlins, and the New York Yankees.
In 2000, George received a New York Emmy Award for a spot lensed for Thirteen WNET. That same year, he shot a spot for a BBDO art director that received top honors in its category at the AICP Museum of Modern Art show.
In 2001 and 2002, respectively, two spots that George shot were nominated for New York Emmys in the cinematography category. And in 2003 he was the proud recipient of an International Broadcast Design Award as well as a Mobius and a Telly Award. In 2006 he took home two New York Emmys for a 21 spot station ID campaign for Thirteen WNET.
George is currently represented for commercial work by the Jacob & Kole Agency in Hollywood, CA and by Laura Dail in NYC for literary work.
In 2007, George, Harry Hawk, and the NYC Water Taxi, created the NYC Food Film Festival, a multi-sensory film festival where food films are screened along with the food profiled in those films. The 2nd Annual NYC Food Film Festival will be held in June 2008.
