About
Bob’s own entry in the contest, and the one Gene manages to lose on the way there. Black garlic is ordinary garlic fermented for about three weeks at 140°F until it turns sticky and black and smells closer to prunes than to anything from the garlic family. Sweet, not sharp. Blended into mayonnaise with a little sriracha it stops being a condiment and starts being the point of the burger.
One thing worth knowing before you cook it. Freeze the frame in the episode and there are diced red cubes sitting on the spinach that the book never mentions, and Bob’s burger carries no cheese at all. The version written out below is the book’s. What the show put on screen is a different burger.
