I enjoyed the Garten burger the most, and it was the most fun to make, which should count for something.
Still, I'd say that if you're stuck without steak sauce and an egg, making Brown's burger isn't going to be a bad consolation prize.
And I think the real secret to a good burger seems to be using sirloin and chuck at the same time. As Garten mentioned when sharing her recipe, sirloin adds a "dry," robust flavor.
Although it wasn't my top pick, even the burger I made using Flay's recipe was enjoyable to eat.
Maybe instead of attempting to find a perfect burger, it's time for me to acknowledge that burgers themselves are just perfect.
