Parsnip Falafel Burger
“This is the burger to save for your one vegetarian day a week,” says Pierce. “Make sure you tell your friends that you are healthier than they are, because you probably are.” (Recipe on page 4.)

G&G Burger
“This Guard & Grace burger (whose toppings include English cheddar, candied bacon, and grilled onion) is all trimmed from prime NY strip, rib-eyes, and tenderloin,” says Pierce, “so you’re getting a lot of really good inner-muscular fat.”

Basic Burger
“When I have a burger craving, this is what I choose: the basic cheeseburger, no sauce, great tomatoes, great beef, great American cheese,” says Pierce. “That’s the right way. I have one of these once a week, for sure.”

Sliders
“These little TAG sliders are super popular; they’ve been on the menu for 10 years,” says Pierce. “On top of them are confit shallots: shallots with vinegar and sugar, cooked down really slow until they’re translucent—maybe an hour and a half, until they’re sticky and melty but still have a nice little crunch.”

Salmon Burger
“I love this burger because it’s all about the salmon,” says Pierce.“It’s not canned salmon, it’s not ground-up salmon, it’s not just a salmon filet acting as a burger. It’s just big coarse chunks of salmon, so you can taste the quality. You’ve never seen anything like this. It’s always ground-up patties.” (Recipe on page 4.)
