Nancy’s Backyard Burger recipe has gained notoriety over the years. The recipe has been featured in numerous publications (including the LA Times), and backyard cookouts at her home have been auctioned to support local charity organizations. We’re featuring a series of burgers & sandwiches from Nancy on a rotating menu for guests dining at the Chef's Counter on Monday and Tuesday nights, drawing inspiration from the countless progenitors of this American classic.

“The key is to choose toppings that complement the flavor of the meat. There’s a reason that cheese, onions, pickles, and bacon are traditional: They’re strong enough to stand up to the intense flavor of beef while adding a little something extra.” – Nancy Silverton
