In this video Nathan and Max break down the components of the ultimate burger. As Nathan says, “Maybe you don’t have it every day–maybe you never have it–but it’s still kind of cool to know what the ultimate burger is.” While we agree that just knowing about the ultimate burger can be incredible, judging by how our mouths are watering now, maybe we actually could eat this burger every day! How about you?
For more on the components that go into this cheeseburger, check out the interactive feature that The Wall Street Journal put together about it.

Thanks Julias! It is fixed now!
What about all the other components pictured?
Where’s the jalapeños and the bacon? I can’t really see this tasting better than the double bacon jalapenos cheeseburger I get from 5 guys for $6. Not 36 hours better anyway. I don’t buy the baloney coming out of this video. Helloooo!? Gotta have bacon.
Bacon lovers might trying replacing (or supplementing) the mushroom ketchup in this recipe with our Bacon Jam (page 4·229). I’ve tried this jam (which also goes great on biscuits), and it’s pretty fantastic.
As for jalapeños, one interesting approach might be to add a bit of jalapeño oil to the liquid smoke that is infused into the lettuce. You’d then get a nice dose of heat in every bite, rather than the full-blast/nothing shocks you get when just topping a burger with sliced jalapeños.
