The documentary “Les As du Burger” follows 25 finalists competing for the prestigious French Hamburger Champion title, selected from an initial pool of 400 candidates. Among them are Jean Dicaro, a seasoned restaurateur known as the “Pulidor of Burgers,” competing for the fourth time; Maxime Le Bourgne, a 24-year-old ambitious sous-chef trained in high-end restaurants; and Michael Meyer, a former mechanic turned self-taught burger chef. The contestants are scrutinized by professionals, including Michelin-starred chef David Gallien, and must transform the hamburger from a fast food item into a dish worthy of fine dining using creativity and high-quality ingredients. Jean incorporates local herbs and a trendy “smash” cooking technique, while Maxime uses ingredients from his native Normandy, including apples flambéed with Calvados and camembert cheese. Michael focuses on homemade beer brioche bread and local Savoyard cheese. Despite challenges like travel issues with his bread and using vacuum-sealed meat, Michael remains determined. In the end, Maxime qualifies for the final and secures third place, gaining recognition from a Michelin-starred chef, while Jean and Michael are eliminated. The documentary highlights the contestants’ dedication, innovation, and the evolving status of the hamburger in French cuisine.
