About the Author
George Motz is a well-traveled Emmy award-winning freelance filmmaker, author and photographer. He has also been called the 'foremost authority on hamburgers' by The New York Times, and 'America's biggest burger name' by Eater LA. In the spring of 2004 Motz completed Hamburger America, his second documentary film which he shot, produced, edited, and directed. The film was nominated in 2006 for a James Beard Award and in 2011 was recognized by the US National Archives as an integral part of American food history. The film's success led to a state-by-state guide to hamburgers, also titled Hamburger America, a State-by-State Guide to Great Burger Joints. And in 2016, Abrams Books released his first cookbook, The Great American Burger Book, available at booksellers everywhere. George can be seen on his new show Burger Scholar Sessions on Complex Media's First We Feast, heading into its 5th season.
