Comedian Bert Kreischer to Host Burger Bash, Shares Simple Burger Philosophy

Comedian Bert Kreischer is set to host the Burger Bash at Thursday night’s New York City Wine & Food Festival, bringing his trademark humor and love of classic burgers to the event. In a recent interview, Kreischer compared a good burger to great sex, saying, “It doesn’t need to be fancy.” He favors a buttery, toasted brioche bun, American cheese and traditional fixings over exotic toppings. Kreischer, who has spent years perfecting smash burgers on his cooking show “Something’s Burning,” also praised Guy Fieri’s burger bar aboard Carnival cruise ships as the best burger experience he’s had. He plans to host a live taping of his show on the upcoming Fully Loaded at Sea cruise, where he’ll cook burgers for guests. His role as host, rather than judge, lets him focus on entertaining while celebrating the simple pleasures of a well‑made patty.
