Heston Blumenthal: In Search of Perfection (2006)

Episode Overview

Heston took on a global favorite: the hamburger. His journey began at Louis' Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut, a spot that has been serving the classic since 1898. In New York City, he indulged in a Big Mac for the first time in over ten years, then sat down with renowned chef Thomas Keller at Bouchon Bakery. There, he savored an inspiring burger crafted from wagyu beef nestled in a rich brioche bun. Back home, Heston experimented with blending three different cuts of beef, developing a unique grinding technique that promises to create a burger that practically melts in your mouth.
