THE COMME ÇA BURGER
Michael David, the executive chef at Comme Ça brasserie in Los Angeles, gave this recipe to The Times in 2009 - a consummate burger that took him, he said, 11 tries to develop. The patties are seared on a plancha, stove-top cast-iron skillet, or grill, then finished either in the oven or the cooler side of a grill, with melted Cheddar and, at last, an iceberg lettuce salad dressed with spicy mayonnaise on top. With a toasted bun, it's a ridiculously fine thing to eat.

Steps:
- Lightly shape meat into 4 4-by-1-inch patties, and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a hot fire on a grill, or heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle each burger all over with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and season generously with black pepper. Sear burgers on grill or in skillet for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer burgers to a broiler pan and bake for 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove pan from oven. Position an oven rack closest to broiler element, and heat broiler to high.
- In a bowl, whisk mayonnaise with ketchup, cayenne and chili powder, and season with salt and black pepper. Add lettuce and stir to coat. Toast buns. Top burgers with Cheddar and broil until cheese melts, about 30 seconds. Set burgers on bottom buns and top with lettuce and onion slices. Cover with top bun and serve, whole or cut in half.

THE COMME ÇA BURGER
While he's usually known for his classic brasserie fare at his Los Angeles restaurants, chef David Myers has received quite a bit of attention for his house burger - so much so that his West Hollywood location has devoted an entire night of the week (Tuesday) to burgers. The burger is traditionally prepared with all of the classic trimmings, but it's the spicy mayonnaise with ketchup, cayenne, and chili powder mixed in that keeps us going back to it.

LIGHT BRIOCHE BUNS
Steps:
- In a glass measuring cup, combine 1 cup warm water, the milk, yeast and sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat 1 egg.
- In a large bowl, whisk flours with salt. Add butter and rub into flour between your fingers, making crumbs. Using a dough scraper, stir in yeast mixture and beaten egg until a dough forms. Scrape dough onto clean, unfloured counter and knead, scooping dough up, slapping it on counter and turning it, until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Shape dough into a ball and return it to bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using dough scraper, divide dough into 8 equal parts. Gently roll each into a ball and arrange 2 to 3 inches apart on baking sheet. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let buns rise in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours.
- Set a large shallow pan of water on oven floor. Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Beat remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush some on top of buns. Bake, turning sheet halfway through baking, until tops are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
