World-famous chef Daniel Boulud reveals his secrets to making the perfect burger by Hollis Johnson and Mary Hanbury on Dec 14, 2017, 11:06 AM Advertisement
 - Daniel Boulud is a world-famous chef.
- One of his most well-known creations, however, is the db Burger, which he calls "the Rolls-Royce of burgers."
- He recently showed us just how he makes it.
French chef Daniel Boulud hasn't changed the recipe for his famous burger in 16 years. The db Burger, served at db Bistro Moderne in New York, is so complicated that it takes three days to construct.
"It's the Rolls Royce of burgers," Boulud told Business Insider. Yet his restaurant manages to churn out 120 burgers a day and is fast approaching the million-burger mark. We recently met Boulud in one of his kitchens in Manhattan to find out exactly how this celebrated burger is made.

To begin, he braises shredded oxtail, short ribs, chopped truffle, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and herbs in red wine for four hours. 
He then adds the secret ingredient: foie gras. This is rolled up inside the braised meat and placed in the fridge to chill. 
But the most important part of this burger is the quality of the meat, Boulud told Business Insider. "To make a good burger, you need a blend of fat and lean meat. Different parts of the beef add different flavors," he said. Boulud uses a mix of sirloin, flatiron, short rib, and Ribeye beef, all of which are ground in-house. The fattier the meat, the smaller the grind, he said.  Tip: If you are cooking the burger rare, opt for a less fatty meat. If you want a well-cooked burger, choose a fattier meat.
