Bobby Flay fail: ‘Perfect burger’ not quite

Bobby Flay may be a good cook, a food porn promoter, and an occasional actor, but to call this recipe the “Perfect Burger” is nothing more than conceit.

barfblog.Stick It InBlah, blah, blah, “Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.”

Got some data to back that up, Bobby?

Use a tip-sensitive digital thermometer and stick it in.
