The Art of the Burger with Chef Carlos Perez of At the Corner

At The Silo Cooking School     44 Upland Rd  New Milford CT

Burger Alchemy with Chef Carlos Perez
Step into the kitchen with Chef Carlos Perez, a master of culinary reinvention, and prepare to tackle the ultimate summer cookout challenge—the perfect burger. This isn’t flipping prepackaged patties on your backyard grill. No, this is burger artistry, where every grind, every topping, and every side is deliberate, inventive, and downright delicious.

Chef Carlos, one of Connecticut’s most fiercely creative minds, is about to change the way you think about burgers. You’ll start by mastering the grind—blending cuts of beef to create a patty so juicy, so flavorful, it’ll ruin you for anything frozen forever. But then he’s throwing a curveball with something wild—elk. Yes, elk. Lean, incredible, and a total game-changer for your grilling menu.

And because no burger lives alone, you’ll go deep into the world of toppings and condiments, crafting homemade additions that turn your burgers into edible masterpieces. Add to that creative sides that push beyond the tired potato salad trope, and suddenly your summer barbecues aren’t just gatherings—they’re legendary.

Chef Carlos isn’t just teaching you how to make burgers; he’s teaching you how to own them. Bring your appetite. Bring your curiosity. Leave with game-changing skills that’ll make your grilling the talk of the neighborhood. Summer’s calling—it’s time to answer with a grill hotter than July.
