Americans love their burgers. They not only eat tons of them, they write songs about them. They have contests on how fast and how many some one can eat burgers. And contests on who makes the best, the tallest, and the heaviest burger. Yes, Americans love their burgers. Who would have imagined that the humble burger would morph into a world-wide phenomenon that keeps changing due to culture and entrepreneurship. How did all these come about? What is it about this ridiculously simple sandwich that has the world entranced? Together, let us explore, mix, grill, and finally eat this magnificent treat!

Presenter
Bernie “Botak Jones” Utchenik. “Build it and they will come, yes they will surely come.” Words from the movie Field of Dreams were probably never more prophetic than to Bernie Utchenik. The proverbial “Jack of all trades, master of none” found he had a knack for cooking, completely self-taught by working with and watching chefs ply their craft. Mostly known for his chain of Botak Jones eateries, Bernie is happy to bring finer foods and service to the heartlands of Singapore and soon to the region.

Life & Living - Food & Culture Series
Life & Living is the National Museum of Singapore's annual line-up of lifestyle programmes aimed at creating refreshing new ways of discovering and engaging different aspects of history in a relaxed and informal manner. The Food & Culture series places the appreciation of food and drink, fashion and design, in interesting cultural and historical contexts, while demonstrating how they are indelibly linked to the present.
