- When I have time on the weekends, I like to spend the day making burgers! Even though it takes quite a while, I think it's well worth the effort.

My video style is heavily inspired by Asian vlog channels I admire, such as Zoe, haegreendal, HidaMari Cooking, EMOJOIE Cuisine, Nino's Home, Cooking Tree, Wife's Cuisine, and more. Please check them out!
I don't really have a recipe for this video since I usually make burgers by eye and feel. If you're looking for one, Babish and Guga Foods have some great burger recipes that work really well.
The third song used in this video at 4:34 (Echo of A Rose - City Girl) is one of the warmest, most nostalgic pieces of music I've listened to in a long time. All of City Girl's songs are wonderful, but this track in particular brought forth a wave of memories and feelings I haven't had in a while.
I agree
Alvin sice you've watched your name, have you also seen 5 centimeters per second? It's also very good
Alvin pleasee put up a asmr no music video nex timee.
Alvin Zhou great videos!!!! You deserve 10 times your subs! 😁😀👍
DD-13 but the music is sooooo nice and relaxing
imagine being his friend
friend: "god i'm craving some chocolate right now"
him: *proceeds to spend 150 hours making a chocolate cake*
Would you rather wait a week for a good cake or like a few hours for a one not as good

This is one of the most beautifully shot and edited videos I have ever seen. Seriously just transported me to a world with no worries. 10/10 man.
"We don't hang out as much as we used to, but that's okay. That's just how life is sometimes". You're like the Bob Ross for cooking, man.
ainsley is
Ainsley would like to know your location
Gordon ramsay is the violent version I guess
It's really hard to find the time to hang out with them when cooking takes so much
maybe he is?
You don't have to pretend you are cooking for your friends, Alvin. It's perfectly okay to make three burgers for yourself.
HAHAHAHAHA LOOOOOL

It's my 1st time here but the texts music and whole atmosphere makes it seem like he's telling you his story while making you hear the satisfying sound and appearance of his cooking which I 100 percent love
I even laughed at some of the texts. I don't know what it is, but some of his wording sounds silly at times (in a good way)
Tranquility......... just feels like an appropriate word. In addition to wholesome, thoughtful, gentle. Surprised how touched I am watching a stranger cook burgers on the internet. Thank you and well done. please continue to make this art as long as it brings you joy.
turns out, alvins friends were just a delusion they were never real, he's actually gone insane, he made 500 burgers that night
D:
Nooo 🥺
D:
Nooo 🥺
It’s illusion not delusion btw...
"i really hope my friends like this burger"
PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS
Befriend this man at any given chance!!! :D
i think its just a made up story to entertain us while hes making the burger. but if its not i agree
Protect this well fed, sheltered, clothed, healthy and mentally fit man at all costs because you’re disconnected from anything human
@@Sea-qv4sd The left wing sees a person and first thing they want to do is infantilize/demonize it!
It's not lame to want to cook for your friends, it's really sweet. you don't need to feel bad for doing what you love, especially when you're doing it for someone else
Truly an amazing video. Your narrative, even in the format of subtitles, is so real. I think many people feel the same way and have a hard time reconnecting with old friends, so it is always nice to have an excuse to do something nice for them or even just spend time with them. Those burgers look amazing, thank you for posting such real and sincere content friend.
im both happy that UA-cam suggested your video and sad that the other half of the burger wasnt for me :(

Hey make you got to make them with love
i came across your channel by a friend sending your 150 hour cake video today, and now im completely hooked.
your channel is hands down the best cooking channel i have ever seen. not only do you show people how to have patience when making good food,
you also make it a point to make the actual video pleasant to watch. your editing style, your camera work, the music you use, even how you tweak the volume of your video during parts where you use loud machinery (thank you for that btw)
it's just.. such a warm and cozy feeling, watching these videos. please never stop.
I love your time stamp frames (“Saturday 9:00 am” etc.). It just doesn’t get any better than that.
Maybe the real friends were the burgers he made along the way.
underrated comment
@@JBresnahanful indeed
Very underrated indeed
Couldn't of said it bettet
The burger: Hey Alvin! 🍔
Alvin: Hey! 😋
Alvin: "Sounds pretty lame, right?"
Me, crying my eyes out: "No man, don't say that"
Did not expect to cry while watching a burger video.
okay so i'm not the only one who cried
thought i was the only one omg lol tears down my cheeks as i'm typing this
I was thinking the same thing :'(
when alvin said that suddenly the world didnt seems so bright anymore......damn even watching him eat that burger made me wanna cry of how sad it was he was eating it by himself.
How are you not responsible for every cooking show out there?
The level of calmness your videos put me in is unique.
the fact that he cooks for his friends every time so passionately and caringly is truly an amazing feat. I love zen stuff as well as cooking so you're videos are almost like the best choice for peacefulness for me. I truly admire your videos therefore I want to give you a small tip about cooking burgers. Seasoning the pattie before frying on both sides increases its flavors significantly. I really REALLY love your videos and attitude towards your friends and I hope you will continue making content and your hands down THE BEST UA-camr for peaceful and joyful cooking for me..... Love from India :D
Can we just appreciate the fact that this guy has never clickbaited us?
lol daily dose of internet

@@josealfredfernandes 😆
Watching this helps me dealing with the stupid school stress.
@@borisbakardzhiev1673 I couldn't agree with you more
The text that he's typing on the screen is literally more sincere than 90% of whole youtube videos with voice.
I agree
literally, the authenticity warmed me.
It's nice but it turns me off from his videos when I want something in the background. I want to hear someone taking me through the process instead of missing 99% of the text. We've all heard these songs over and over again. I could just go listen to a chill hop video if that's what I wanted.
love your DP....Johnny 😂
My thoughts exactly. Everything is precise it’s refreshing.
Hi Alvin, I have to say your videos are so relaxing, after 12 hour shifts in the COVID ICU I always enjoy watching them to unwind. Hope you are well and staying safe!
I never knew alvin was so lonely he had to talk to food and machines
His friends: hey dude, when are the burgers ready?
Alvin: *give me a sec*
a sec or two or 21,600
Off with his other friends
It’s be a while
Why the hell does everyone have my profile pic
One second has passed
Alvin's vids are soooo calm and relaxing.
And healing :)
YESSSSSS
Sure the vid and the music do. But, honestly the text is pretty creepy sometimes, but I know it is just me
I don't even eat meat. I am here just for the aesthetics.
@@aayushityagi0705 Same🤣
Your home cooking videos helped get me through lockdown last year. They really calmed my nerves. Thanks, Alvin!
Btw, I can’t believe it takes 2 hours to properly caramelize onions. That’s some real dedication my friend!
This makes me wanna cook in slow jazz - or any chill tunes. Inspiring!
Nobody told me this was gonna get emotional
i knowww, the guys wholesome ass comments got me rolling man
thats what Im saying! dammit maaan

This is honestly one of my favourite videos on the entire platform.
the recipe, the visuals, the music, your sense of humor, everything is incredible!
Wheres the humor in the vid lol ?

@@cheeseburgerlevel2868 mmmmm cheemsburger
So just regular cooking
Agree
There’s a deeper story with this man. You can kinda tell he misses the past a little bit and he misses the memories, as if he won’t get to experience them again. And he’s very humble and genuine.
My first time watching him and I could tell as well. Kinda sad in a way
I can relate so much with what he’s saying in this video
Well that's called jumping to conclusions :D
Feel the same way, you don’t realize how good you have it until it’s gone.
He's making food that's it
I really love people like Alvin. So genuine, chill, and fun to be with. Also he can cook burgers so that's like 101x better.
Alvin I just discovered your channel . I’m at a lost for words . Your whole presentation and interaction with your food is spell binding . Thank you for this . 😋
"Ayo you hungry?"
"Nah I'll eat later"
"Good I'll start cooking the food then"

Ok, this is video number two. Both left me without a doubt the food was amazing. Thank you. Such a joy and now I am so hungry. But, yes, I’ll slow it down to yum the bite.
The fact that this guy is basically chilling, and talking with the viewer while making burgers. It was awfully relaxing, watching this
Its really wholesome that he casually told a story about how his mom used to take him to In N out
@@albozru1e ikkkkkkkkkkkk I love it
The quality of content is great, it's a pity the recipes most of the time aren't that great. These are some dry ass burgers considering how lean they are.
@@d3c0yn4m3l355 no they're not. Short rib and chuck have plenty of fat. You must've got some cheap ass beef or cooked it wrong
He doesn't say a single word so I don't get where he is talking to the viewer. Writing to the viewer yes, but talking no.
"They're a little ugly"
me: *starts crying*

Aww now I feel bad for u
That’s tough
that's what my mom said when I was born
@@Sirin498 **hug** you're precious like everyone in the world
people watch shows in the mornings during breakfast, but I.. watch Alvin. You're the person that helped me get into cooking and baking in general.
The story underneath the cooking makes it even more fun to watch. I like the way Alvin gives meaning to the cooking and the way he gives life and applies feeling to the ingredients
Me watching someone who makes 2-hour onions while eating a 10min pizza from the freezer.
You're not alone, friend.
Atleast you have a pizza , i haven't had any pizza in 2 years , no burgers for about 1 and 1/2 years and haven't had pasta in 6 months

I loved the video, just like most of your videos, it was well put together and edited.
This was the first video I had watched, after watching Day in the life of the #1 bbq video. For a lack of a better words, your videos are incredible and your storytelling is relatable. Keep up the great work. ^^
The trick to not crying while cutting onions is to avoid forming an emotional attachment
Omg it worked 😃✨
Chop em up before they try to make friends with you?
Welp I guess my dad wasn’t emotionally attached to me
I heard if you don't cut the root part off, it won't make you cry.
Or just cut them into halves and wash them in running tap water before chopping.
Alvin's friend: Hey man, so I wa...
**IMMEDIATELY STARTS COOKING

"It's a little ugly, I can't serve this to my friends so I'll eat it."
If I served burgers like that to my friends, they won't even care what it looked like.
yeah I think he has OCD.. burgers are already delicious and easy to make in 10 minutes, and we don't care how they look just shove them in my mouth brah
you know what my grandfather used to say,no matter the looks on the outside its gonna break in your tummy and look ugly anyways.This was his wisdom when things dont look right for cakes or food.
@@dablakmark8 Exactly, just look in the toilet bowl after its gone through your body!
@@NT-sx2bd lol yes
@@OArchivesX no He definitely isn't OCD when it comes to food, someone with OCD isn't just extremely detail-oriented and perfectionistic, though they can be that way. What OCD actually is, is pretty well Explained with it's real name
Obsessive:You have an Obsession with something being a certain way/You have a Irrational fear of something happening
Compulsive:That obsession/Irrational Fear drives you to do an action to mitigate it
Disorder:It actually caused problems in your life
For example someone with OCD isn't Freakishly clean, they literally are so scared of getting sick that they make their hands bleed from all of the hand-washing they do, it's a serious disorder, and I'd appreciate it if you stopped using it as a term for people who are extremely detail-oriented as that's not what it is.

the moment where he said he doesn’t see his friends as much as he’d like to really hit home- i hope things get better soon, for the whole planet 💕
Some friendships go that way as we get older and have less fun with things that used to make hours pass like nothing. But people don't forget being younger, so even a couple minutes or a single meal can still mean a lot.
Shit hit home with me too.
And you know who's fault that is? Governments enforcing lockdowns. NOT the people. Your institutions in charge. Control over the masses. We saw the results of how lock downs are detrimental on our mental health. Say THANK YOU to the elites and government officials that made this happen!
