GOOD STUFF SAUCE BY TOP CHEF SPIKE MENDELSOHN



Good Stuff Sauce by Top Chef Spike Mendelsohn image

BEST BURGER SAUCE. No pickles in the sauce. Its tangy and mmmmmmmmmmmm... I got drool on my keyboard. Oh yeah and it's pink. :D From the cookbook The Good Stuff: After reading several books and articles on Americans and the hamburgers they love, my mother found that people's favorite sauces were different takes on Thousand Island dressing (ketchup and mayo). At one of our family tastings, Mike Colletti, a chef I met Le Cirque, and I came up with our twist on it--we locked ourselves in the kitchen and added a little something to the sauce to give it a real kick.

FREE-RANGE TURKEY BURGER GOOD STUFF SPIKE MENDELSOHN



Free-Range Turkey Burger Good Stuff Spike Mendelsohn image

From the Good Stuff cookbook: I will admit to study my share of women. I mean I am a young, fun chef--how can I not? While I don't understand most of them, one thing has become perfectly clear-- the ladies love turkey burgers. They think traditional burgers result in hours at the gym (not necessarily the case), so they turn to the leaner, less-threatening alternative--turkey. Now, when it comes to women, I aim to please. This turkey burger is so good, it's almost better than e real thing. ...For a variation, try topping this burger with the Cranberry sauce or the Chunky Avocado topping. (see my recipes)

HOMEMADE BASIC MAYONNAISE TOP CHEF SPIKE MENDELSOHN



Homemade Basic Mayonnaise Top Chef Spike Mendelsohn image

THIS IS EPIC ON BURGERS/SANDWICHES. YOU MUST MAKE THIS. From the Good Stuff Cookbook by Spike Mendelsohn: In France, they used to make fun of me about my love of Hellmann's, but if you ask me, it's pretty damn good. If you want to go the extra mile, though it doesn't get any more basic than this recipe. This is super simple and the results are amazing. I have used canola and apple cider vinegar in a pinch. Always a great recipe! Makes burgers AMAAAAZZINNG. It is really rich so I don't use much at all. Using less of the homemade stuff rather than a ton of ikky store bought light or non fat mayo... It really makes a difference. I feel like what I am eating is better quality so moderation is my guide.

Yield 2 cups, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large eggs
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups grapeseed oil (or other neutral... I used canola)

Steps:

  • Add the eggs, mustard, vinegar, and salt to a food processor or blender. Process for 30 seconds in the food processor, or for 10 seconds in the blender. With the motor running, drizzle in the oil slowly at first, then add in a thin, steady stream until all the oil is added and the mixture is smooth. Stop the motor and taste.
  • If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a little hot water. If too thin, process a little longer. The mayonnaise can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
