I respect Ty for understanding that he's not the center stage here. He doesn't try to provide too much commentary, he just lets the professionals explain the history and craft. Ty knows a lot about burgers, but when he's surrounded by legends, he understands that he's a mere student in burgermancy.
Magnak - I think Alvin is a good audience surrogate. He's a likable host and he's (literally) a big foodie. I don't think I'd enjoy the show as much without him.
@@Magnak Bull sh!t, Alvin needs to be there but Motz needs to teach us all. It's like Diners, Drive ins and Dives. Fieri's a "Host" while others cook. In this instance Motz ;)
George Motz makes this show, and should either become a permanent co-host or take over for Alvin. I love Alvin, but George was made to host this show. He’s amazing, full of knowledge and charisma, and has meme ready sideburns to boot. Listen to the will of people and have him host this show!
I think Geoge is best when he has someone to bounce off of and I like Alvin because he represents the audience. Many of George's unknown burger recipes are new to Alvin and the rest of us and I like that Alvin is there to act as our ambassador. He also gives George someone to speak to and interact with. It makes it more dynamic.
He did have his own show at one point. I've watched it before. I believe it was on Travel Channel called "Burger Land." They cancelled it awhile back though, but I wish he still had it. You can look up the show online yourself if you want.
Every episode of The Burger Show is awesome, but the ones that come from George's pad may be my favs. Ty was a great guest, keep up the great work Burger Show crew!
Wow, a celebrity guest on a show that’s actually interesting and interestED in what’s going on. I usually don’t care for celebrity guest videos because it’s usually just needlessly throwing a famous person in the mix for no reason and they usually seem like they don’t even know why they’re there… But Ty was having fun and enjoying himself and I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing him and George together again, he seems genuinely passionate about burgers and learning and open to listening to George. His energy is the exact opposite of George too! So calm, collected and poised, and George is a Tasmanian devil with a spatula! Haha the perfect match!
@NotSnarl Did you email that suggestion? I'm not seeing it on my list. I will say that I have already done a burger with mashed potato on it and I was pretty much crucified in the comments.
George Motz is such a gem, went back on a burger binge thanks to his new show. So glad ya'll gave him his chance to shine, and help me make more great burgers.
Dude I remember visiting my grandmother in Utah when I was a kid and going to crown burger and getting the pastrami burger but I couldn’t remember the name of the place until this episode, by far the most memorable burger I’ve ever had, it is my mission to go back now
You know, I love that George Motz is getting like, almost a revival through the burger show, cause he's such an expert on this stuff and he still has so much to say.
Please feature these regional burger styles on your show 1.Butter Burger -invented at Solly's Grille, Milwaukee 2.Big Baby Burger -invented at Nicky's The Real McCoy, Chicago 3.Green Chile Cheeseburger -invented at Owls Bar and Cafe, San Antonia
I'd like them to feature the double decker burger. I believe it was invented or pioneered by Bob's Big Boy, but many places have copied it like McDonald's Big Mac.
One of the upcoming videos is going to have the Butter Burger from Wisconsin. There are many places throughout the state that has their own variety, but the two most prominent places are Solly's in Glendale, WI (just north of Milwaukee), and Culver's, a growing burger chain.
That fry sauce is what we in Sweden call "American Hamburger Dressing" and pretty much everyone in Sweden uses something like that when they make hamburgers at home.
@@dallaswood4117 It seems to me that almost every burger place that has a "secret sauce", it usually follows the basic recipe of ketchup, mayo, relish, and their chosen blend of spices, and some places just go honest and use Thousand-Island dressing, which is just as good on a burger.
i like how he jus masks the fact how fuckin amazing he is at cooking these damn burgers with the history of significance of the burgers. like motz doesnt even try to sell himself and his own skills, rather he is so incredibly focused on conveying the story of each burger. mad fuckin respect.
He had his own show for awhile on Travel Channel called "Burger Land" which was pretty much that. Go check it out if you can. I wish he still had that show, or that they would have just hired George to host this show to begin with, lol ;)
After his first appearance on this show I bought George's book and we ended up cooking our way through it two burgers a week, it was the best! Buy the book and try em all!
Fun fact, even the chain restaurants in Hawaii serve Loco Moco. Its very good, but sometimes its over salted. Which can be a good thing or a bad thing if you are a thirsty type.
Love the episodes with Motz! I've been waiting for a reference to Utah burger history and was not disappointed! We're not the West Coast or the East Coast, but we do have a few great local places.
When someone told me that Utah was the home of the pastrami burger I told them that they were delusional because everyone knows that NY is synonymous with pastrami. Not only did it turn out I was flat wrong, it also turns out that Utah is kind of a hidden burger heaven. JCW, Crown, Burger Supreme, Apollo, Chedda Burger, Red Rock, etc. There are so many great local joints PLUS they have all the great chain joints too! Culvers, Shake Shack, In' N' Out, Five guys, Smash Burgers, the Habit and Mooyahs. The only one they're really missing is Fatburger.
@@emridatla3886 Gotta throw Rich's Burgers and Grub in that list. It's just a small joint located on East Broadway, but it's sooo good! SLC has some killer burger joints!
@@emridatla3886 They were also wrong. California is the home of it, as he outlines in the video. Two prominent joints and few mom and pops in Utah vs the literal hundreds of prominent spots and three regional chains (The Hat, Og Tommy's and Tommy's) in SoCal.
@@OisinMcCool I grew up in California and no one had the pastrami burger until the 90s. And even then it was Carl's Jr that brought it back. I remember when Mr. LA icon Jay Leno made a joke about Carl's Jr being weird for using meat as a condiment for other meat. Cuz he hadn't heard of it anywhere in LA either.
@@emridatla3886 Don't sleep on Olympus Burger over by Wheeler Farm, my favorite blink-and-you'll miss it hole in the wall. They make a pastrami burger on texas toast that is phe-nom-in-all. Oh, and Woody's over by Cottonwood high school. What George really needs to cover is the OTHER regional Utah favorite, the garlic burger.
George quietly asking Alvin if he can try some of his half of the burger was easily the best part of this video and cracks me the fuck up. Shows what a true-blue burger junkie Motz is. Fucking awesome
A really awesome mom and pop lunch place in my hometown in Minnesota actually has a pastrami burger. But it's a bit different. 1/3 pound patty, 3 oz of pastrami and Russian dressing. It gets different because you have the option of sauerkraut or coleslaw instead of lettuce. Both are fantastic though!
I lived in North MS for several years and lived a few blocks from Lathams. We called Slugburgers a "Doughburger". They were beef and flour fried. Fantastic burger.
I went to high school in downtown SLC. Half a block each way were Crown and a mediocre burger joint. Nearly everyone else went to the mediocre place when we got burgers. Made my soul sad.
The Greek "Bifteki" is a bunless burger with bread crumbs in it (just like the Slug burger). They usually cook it in the oven, not necessary, with potatoes, season it with oregano, salt, and pepper, and squeeze a few drops of lemon juice on it before eating it. The key difference between a good Bifteki and a mediocre one is in one extra ingredient. Good cooks know to never add egg into the mixture of beef and bread crumbs because it binds the crumbs and prevents them from soaking up the delicious juices.
Been on a burger journey tonight. Binged through a lot of videos. But honestly as a Utahn nothing got my mouth watering more than the Pastrami burger. We also have a lot of Pacific Islanders here as well so the Loco Moco absolutely a dish that hits close to home. But since Crown is closed on Sunday, looks like I'm getting a Loco Moco today.
Wow, I want to try them all! I'd love to see a restaurant open near me that has a variety of regional burgers on the menu. Otherwise, I will probably never try some of these burgers. If George Motz ever opens a burger restaurant, it could feature obscure regional and historical burgers from around the US. Maybe they wouldn't all be on the regular menu, but people could consult the specials calendar to come in on the day the restaurant is making the burger they want to try without flying thousands of miles to it's homeland. It sounds like you can't even buy some of the burgers George Motz knows how to make well, perhaps including that Northern Mississippi Slugburger that he says they don't even make with the traditional ingredients anymore. Breadcrumbs aren't that exotic but I'm sure they taste good. I'm more excited about the Hawaiian Loco Moco and especially the pastrami burger. I love pastrami and that burger looks like it has good balance. Maybe one of the pastrami delis in New York City should offer one, I'd love to try it. It's hard to imagine Katz's adding anything to the menu but some of the other places with fusion pastrami sandwiches or big menus might try it. I'd love to try one of those Utah-style burgers and I probably will someday since I expect to go to Utah again and I definitely want to try the pastrami burger.
So I don't like hamburgers, don't like the taste of beef, and don't cook - but I keep watching Burger Show just to hear George Motz talk. He's mesmerizing.
I’m was born in Northern Alabama where the slugburger was deep fried in peanut oil. Traditionally dipped in cayenne pepper and served on a bun with mustard.
They should get an Aussie on here to make them the classic Aussie 'works' burger. On the bun it goes lettuce, tomato, sliced pickled beetroot, beef pattie, fried onions, bacon, fried egg, grilled pineapple, cheese and BBQ sauce.
@7:20 The "burger on a plate" didn't start in the 1940s in the States. It started quite a long time before that. It was being served in the European style (Hamburg Steak) and in a slightly altered style as early as the mid-19th century in New York City. There are reports by tourists of encountering, eating, and sometimes enjoying this dish. The "burger on a plate" goes even further back in Europe.
@@tozovr My quote for him was mistakenly "1940" not "in the '40s" but upon second hearing you are right. That doesn't detract from my information though.
@@andrewtaylor6985 Yup, You're right on there. If you read George's book and check out, I believe, some of the videos here with Alvin, he breaks down the history exactly as you have.
Here in south eastern NC we have a burger similar to the slug burger! We call it a flour or dough burger and it’s made with a patty of beef, flour, and onions. Kinda hard to find unless you’re at a grandmas house or these older local places. Cooked super thin and usually on regular sandwich bread (I like to toast the bread) with ketchup and mustard.
North Alabama has a similar burger to the slug burger that has is a mix of meat and bread and is served with mustard and onions. I tried one from a restaurant there that had been open since the 1800s and it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had.
We still have an Apollo here in Southern California in the good old High Desert in the city of Victorville located on 7th St formally Historic Route 66. The area is slowing dying off but the Apollo remains a great local favorite with MANY insane works of towering art. Another great place we have just south of the High Desert is The Hat and their pastrami burgers are amazing, if you're lookin to eat one burger and not have to eat for the next day lol. Paired up with the insane helping of pastrami fries you get when you order them and you may have to loosen the belt a few notches. All around amazing burgers shown here and Thank You for your shared culinary art!!
The mans from OREGON, you couldn’t honor is ACTUAL home state and design a burger for me to be proud of? I’m sure people were making oxen burgers on their way along the Oregon trail.
love this show! I see a lot of love for George, and though he is a wealth of knowledge, it is you Alvin with your personality and warmth that draw me to this channel, thank you for all that you do.
I grew up in North Mississippi and the slug burger evolved from the depression era original grilled on flat top to being made with the ground meat and filler, patted out into patty and fried in lard, topped with dill pickle, sliced onion and mustard.
In 1955 the German TV chef Clemens Wilmerod presented the "Toast Hawaii" in one one of his shows - a piece of toast, topped with ham, slice of pineapple, American cheese and a maraschino cherry, baked in the oven until the cheese was melted. That was seven years before Pizza Hawaii was invented and it has been a German classic through the 50s to the 80s. It is still being eaten but generally considered pretty outdated nowadays.
Ty Burrell AND George Motz! Which burger from today's episode was your favorite???
First
ALL OF THEM!!! first we feast espcially the pastrami! I wish I had one right now
It's gotta be that last one, the Pastrami burger.
Pastrami.
Crown burger, its the reason I will only travel through Utah Monday - Saturday! Its a must have!
Professor Motz is the highlight of every season of this show.
Right? I wish he was promoted to co-host.
@@TheMrKlump I wish he was promoted to host. He's knowledgeable and has a great personality
@@videoguy640 couldn't agree more. Plus we wouldn't have to listen to Alvin talk in slow motion.
I feel like if he was found before Alvin, he would be the host.
So glad Motz got his own show, well deserved!
I respect Ty for understanding that he's not the center stage here. He doesn't try to provide too much commentary, he just lets the professionals explain the history and craft. Ty knows a lot about burgers, but when he's surrounded by legends, he understands that he's a mere student in burgermancy.
He didn't know what a smashburger is.
@@LeastTresCharLargo he knew what it was.. he just thought it was taboo to smash the burger. is what I got out of this episode.
George Motz episodes are by far the best episaodes!
I actually feel this series is so much about Motz. Alvin doesn't bring much to the table.
True
Magnak - I think Alvin is a good audience surrogate. He's a likable host and he's (literally) a big foodie. I don't think I'd enjoy the show as much without him.

Me: Man, I love water...

water invented? in 1965? ..... dude try a little harder!
George Motz: Yeah! Did you know? people in sauna's actually prefer their water steamed!!! Crazy right?
@@taiyoctopus2958 In Canada (where water was invented) we call that a water facial.

Agreed.
Sounds horrible to say, but I can't help but to get turned off of the food they are cooking because of Alvin's general appearance.
why not both?
I think Geoge is best when he has someone to bounce off of and I like Alvin because he represents the audience. Many of George's unknown burger recipes are new to Alvin and the rest of us and I like that Alvin is there to act as our ambassador. He also gives George someone to speak to and interact with. It makes it more dynamic.
@@yokaicustoms I don't need "the audience" in the show. I am the audience.
Completely pokerfaced man with monotone voice: "Oh my god, I'm so excited."
When he said this is the first time I feel alive 🤣
George Motz could start his own show and I wouldn't mind watching it
Hate to burn out real quickly. A ten minute show of him doing a deep dive on a single burger, including origin and history while he cooks the burger.
he really should lol it would blow up so quick
I'd rather watch it.
He did have his own show at one point. I've watched it before. I believe it was on Travel Channel called "Burger Land." They cancelled it awhile back though, but I wish he still had it. You can look up the show online yourself if you want.
Deathbrewer I wanted to post this. He’s the reason I give other burger places a shot
“It’s about the first time in my life I’ve felt alive” everyone laughs but Ty’s face says it wasn’t a joke.
George straight up renegades Alvin every single time he's on this show.
He's the true rightful host of the burger show.
They for sure owe most of this show's quality to him
On top of George having more knowledge about burgers, he actually has a great camera presence. Alvin is so fucking boring to listen to.
Tyler Donnell Alvin just takes up the camera room anyways lol
@ It's actually a reference to the Jay-Z song "Renegades", where feature MC Eminem (arguably) drops a far more impactful verse than his host.
This is some imperial and stormcloak shit isn't it?
As a Utah born and raised burger lover it is so exciting to see both fry sauce and pastrami burger featured on this episode ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Every episode of The Burger Show is awesome, but the ones that come from George's pad may be my favs. Ty was a great guest, keep up the great work Burger Show crew!

They should get an Aussie on here to make them the classic Aussie 'works' burger.
On the bun it goes lettuce, tomato, sliced pickled beetroot, beef pattie, fried onions, bacon, fried egg, grilled pineapple, cheese and BBQ sauce.
Jeez that sounds like a happy heart attack on a plate. That'd be fun to try!
@@Lyander25 Every fast food place in Australia has it.
Not always pineapple but always beetroot in WA. Fuck im hungry
Beetroots and pineapple? Wtf?
@@mrfister825 The pickled beetroot helps cut through some of the fattiness of the burger. It's amazing.
@7:20 The "burger on a plate" didn't start in the 1940s in the States. It started quite a long time before that. It was being served in the European style (Hamburg Steak) and in a slightly altered style as early as the mid-19th century in New York City. There are reports by tourists of encountering, eating, and sometimes enjoying this dish. The "burger on a plate" goes even further back in Europe.
Motz definitely knows his burger history. He doesn't say, "In the 40's" he says, "Knife and a fork."
@@tozovr My quote for him was mistakenly "1940" not "in the '40s" but upon second hearing you are right. That doesn't detract from my information though.
@@andrewtaylor6985 Yup, You're right on there. If you read George's book and check out, I believe, some of the videos here with Alvin, he breaks down the history exactly as you have.
Here in south eastern NC we have a burger similar to the slug burger! We call it a flour or dough burger and it’s made with a patty of beef, flour, and onions. Kinda hard to find unless you’re at a grandmas house or these older local places. Cooked super thin and usually on regular sandwich bread (I like to toast the bread) with ketchup and mustard.
Love the Crown Burger! Truly a Utah treasure
Crown burger is meh. Lucky 13 is where it's at.
Paul Corona lucky 13 is amazing but they’re different burgers. You can’t compare the two.
I'm an Astro Burgers fan, myself.
North Alabama has a similar burger to the slug burger that has is a mix of meat and bread and is served with mustard and onions. I tried one from a restaurant there that had been open since the 1800s and it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had.
LOVE your videos. The quality is next level. Keep it up First We Feast!!
Can this just be a permanent show? George Motz is the OG
I’m pretty simple. I see George Motz, I click.
We still have an Apollo here in Southern California in the good old High Desert in the city of Victorville located on 7th St formally Historic Route 66. The area is slowing dying off but the Apollo remains a great local favorite with MANY insane works of towering art. Another great place we have just south of the High Desert is The Hat and their pastrami burgers are amazing, if you're lookin to eat one burger and not have to eat for the next day lol. Paired up with the insane helping of pastrami fries you get when you order them and you may have to loosen the belt a few notches. All around amazing burgers shown here and Thank You for your shared culinary art!!
Always love these videos with George Motz, the Burger professor.
6:09 "For the first time in my life I feel alive"
Delivered with the most perfect monotone without inflection.
1:00 - when Alex Jones starts researching black burger ops
aaand
1:11 - when Joe senses the DMT in the burger
Jamie pull that up
The mans from OREGON, you couldn’t honor is ACTUAL home state and design a burger for me to be proud of? I’m sure people were making oxen burgers on their way along the Oregon trail.
love this show! I see a lot of love for George, and though he is a wealth of knowledge, it is you Alvin with your personality and warmth that draw me to this channel, thank you for all that you do.
I grew up in North Mississippi and the slug burger evolved from the depression era original grilled on flat top to being made with the ground meat and filler, patted out into patty and fried in lard, topped with dill pickle, sliced onion and mustard.
George Motz is so amazing.
Alvin we need the burguer show to go international! Showcase not only regional US burgers but also European burgers, Asian burgers, etc.
Hawaiian pizza / pineapple on burgers was invented in Hamilton Ont Canada. We will not apologize for this.
No need
Thank you all because that's usually what I order when given the option haha.
Bro this was invented in Chatham Ontario @ the satellite restaurant: 3 hours away from Hamilton please get the facts right 🤙🏻 RIP Sam Panopoulos
Pineapple on pizza is good. Pineapple on burgers is for assholes.
Roasted Pineapple on a burger is pretty awesome:P
Love Crown/Apollo Burger & Loco Moco, all can be found in UT!
George Motz needs his own segment
When they cracked the yolk it was a straight money shot damn that looked amazing love me a loco Moco plate especially with a teriyaki gravy 👍
George Motz should have his own UA-cam channel, this should be a thing.
Subscribed and ordered the Great American Burger Book after watching this (a year and a half later)!! George is the man...
I felt the Loco Moco deserves a mention which was immitted. It always comes with Mac salad. It's an important addition.
I love George Motz, hes great and you three just got along great too. Always a pleasure to learn about hamburgers.
Nice to “meet” the owner of beer bar, it’s a good spot
In 1955 the German TV chef Clemens Wilmerod presented the "Toast Hawaii" in one one of his shows - a piece of toast, topped with ham, slice of pineapple, American cheese and a maraschino cherry, baked in the oven until the cheese was melted. That was seven years before Pizza Hawaii was invented and it has been a German classic through the 50s to the 80s. It is still being eaten but generally considered pretty outdated nowadays.
Why I'm not living my life like George Motz?
I’ve had the Loco Moco from a friend who lived in Hawaii and it tasted unbelievable!
Slug looks the best ...simple good ol’ fashion burgers
agreed
Heck yeah
nah, dude. The Crown Burger fucking rules. Slug Burgers are great, but the pastrami burger is like, so so so so so so fucking good
As someone from that area of Mississippi. You are not mistaken. It's awesome. Everytime I go back home I get some.
Wrong. Loco moco. Not even close.
