GOOD EATS: The Ultimate Burger Breakdown - Science in the Kitchen

The Ultimate Burger is a creation from Modernist Cuisine a group who bring science and technology into the kitchen.They have taken the science of burger making to another level. I mean the patty is cooking using a technique called Cryofrying where the burger is dipped in liquid nitrogen and seared through a flash frying process. This hamburger has been broken down to a molecular level, blending all the perfect flavors and textures that would even a make a vegan's mouth water. It's just unfortunate most us don't have kitchens that double as chem labs. All I know is that it looks and sounds delicious.
