One guy. Every burger.
Hey. I'm Burgerman. By day I'm a 2D animator — I draw characters, make them move, and occasionally question my life choices at 3 AM while rendering frames. But at some point burgers took over. I started cooking every recipe I could find, rating them honestly, and sharing the results. No sponsors, no culinary degree, no fluff — just a guy who thinks every burger recipe in the world deserves to be tried, rated, and made available to everyone.
Why this exists
It started simple. I wanted to find the best burger recipe online. What I found instead was 500-word life stories before every recipe, paywalled content, and reviews that rate everything 4.5 stars. So I built my own thing.
Burgerman is a website, a mobile app(iOS & Android), and a YouTube channel— all connected to the same database. Every recipe I cook goes through the same process: buy ingredients, cook it, eat it, rate it honestly. If it's a 3 out of 10, it's a 3. No brand deals, no inflated scores.
The site and app let you browse every recipe, vote with a precise slider, save burgers to your "want to cook" list, and track what you've already made. Think of it as your personal burger journal — except someone already did all the testing for you.
Where do the recipes come from? Three places. Fast-food copycats get reverse-engineered by cooking the real thing and the homemade version side by side until they match. Regional classics — green chile cheeseburgers, Juicy Lucys, olive burgers — come from the places that actually make them, cooked as written before anything gets changed. And the ones nobody else has: burgers that only ever existed in a cartoon or a TV show, worked out ingredient by ingredient from what is visible on screen.
The BM score is the number next to the star. It is mine, given after cooking the recipe, and it covers three things at once: how the burger tastes, whether the recipe survives a normal kitchen, and whether the work matches the payoff. A brilliant burger that needs two days of prep scores below a very good one that takes twenty minutes. The diamond next to it is the community score — the average of votes from signed-in readers, which I never touch. When the two disagree, the recipe is usually fussier than it looks.
There are no sponsors. Nobody has paid for a position on the list, and no brand sees a score before it is published — which is the only reason a 3 out of 10 can stay a 3. The site is paid for by ads and, later, the shop. If a paid placement ever appears, it will say so on the page itself.
And if you're into animation — that's my day job. Source files, breakdowns and free assets used to live in a separate section here; they're moving to the channel instead. Because why not.
