THE BOBBY FLAY BURGER
Back in 2003, before he was a fast-food impresario, Bobby Flay gave this recipe for a Cubano-style burger to Jonathan Reynolds of The Times. "The best burgers are made on an iron surface and cooked medium, so they're not too soft and you can get a crust," he said at the time. "If you press your burger bun like a Cubano, you get crisp on the outside, soft on the inside." He adorned the patty with two slices of Swiss, smoked ham and pickles, then slipped the package into the bun and pressed it hard on the grill. "We are not ready for micro greens on our national dish," he said. The result continues to amaze.
