We just had Ben and Brent on our podcast The Eater Upsell to talk about the business of butchering. listen here itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/what-goes-into-running-a-whole-animal-butcher-shop/id992181345?i=1000422490306&mt=2 and let us know what you think!
Surprised I havent seen an answer to the question already but I will ask for everyone, where can we buy one of these iron burger cooking devices? Please link us.
IdrisNine BOPA He actually doesn’t want to sell it! How crazy is that?
@@eater Well then he better patent that thing asap!!!!!!
The device might be an original but I don’t believe that the method involved is all too mind blowing. White Castle punches holes in their patties for the same reason and the enclosure for keeping in the juices and even cooking is something that burger joints do with the half sphere lids, I think.
I'll patent that and bring it on shark tank
"Only cheese, no condiments."
I like this guy.
No condom.....
BDE
I would go cheese and tomatoes
No ketchup, just sauce, raw sauce
@@MrEricdraco Only Ass.
As soon as he said "only cheese" I added this place to my bucket list.
Yeah, so many are killing taste of meat by strong taste sauces.
Right dude, this chef knows what’s up
@@mrmoncherz2574he is the Worlds best sushi chef or course he does
Takes a lot of balls to say that.
@@Kurosaki-san089 I think that regard should go to Jiro Ono.
"I love burger, I eat it almost once a week"
Americans: that's cute
EggyRepublic this comment deserves more appreciation
Fat
@Tex Reichelderfer okay boomer
I worked at mcdonalds the amount of burgers comin nd goin is disgusting
@@louzynerd129 What you a Gen Z or Gen Alpha?
I’m a burger purist but I like Masa’s approach because he’s clearly focused on what makes a good burger at its core and not with “improving” the standard burger.
Bun. Meat. Cheese.
5:01 he gave it to the guy in the back. Great man
That's why he's a chef he enjoys feeding people but doesn't eat himself life of a chef lol.
Yup! Eugene is a nice guy
This is just stupid nyc hipster food. Id much much much rather have 5 guys or shake shack.
@@PapaTrump ok glutton
He looks like a good just wanting to be part of the video dope
Love the way Chef Masa just grabs a fry off of Ben's plate. Haha
Good Yeah, that was pretty silly. Haha
Alpha move
vietrofl or a cultural thing since in some cultures sharing or eating out of the same plate is the norm
vietrofl it was def a power move
Like a boss 😎
The intense stare after they laughed at the sous chef chef cut the wonder bread
" *Please don't* "
I’m surprised no one has said anything about it other then you
I don’t wanna read too much into this but the sous chef looked like he was tired of these guests lol
@@Paperbagman555 From what little he spoke, he definetely didn't sound like he grew up in an english speaking country. Joke may have gotten lost on him.
He looked super annoyed
If he was from Latin America or Latin Europe, then joking about his cooking methods at all was going to be insulting
If his burger is that good with just cheese, then that's a testament to this chef's mastery of his craft; making something simple into something more without adding anything more to it.
Its a gorgeous mix when you master the battle of heat and juices
That's essentially what sushi is - extremely simple ingredients, yet so many people love it
@@_Dwarkin That's essentially what all good food is, not just burgers and sushi.
Master the fundamentals and everything good tends to fall into place.
Gimmicks seldom work; sometimes they may attract attention, but it's the quality of the substance that either gets people coming back for more or avoiding it in the future.
I just did the smoking process with plastic chopsticks, overall good experience 10/10
Yummy i might try it next👌
hahaha ... hope you're joking. Right?
You may want to see a physician
now can u ask the doctor how many days u have left to live?
wud luv to know
Lol
I love how informal Chef Masa is. You usually don't see this sort of interaction from Japanese chefs. Chef Masa has a great personality.
Pretty normal if they're someone familiarized and living in America. "Westernized" or something.
@@SystemBot pretty normal for any chef off the clock. I guarantee you he isn't like that during dinner or prep
Yes what are you talking about? He says like 4 words.
Yeah they are all like that if they speak English and are americanized. It's just the ones newly imported from Japan that are all stuffy and uptight and don't speak in English so it seems like they lack a sense of humor or joviality.
@@sparkyjones560 imported from japan? Xd
They should call it an iron maiden burger patty
Metal name. Yes.
Guaranteed to bait all the edgy bois
Only if they shout "UP THE IRONS" when closing it and placing it on the hibachi grill.
The Iron Patty
nice! burger iron maiden was exactly how i would describe the device myself.
he definitely came up with that omelet on the spot just to flex
"Only cheese! No condiment!" This man is my hero. Everyone always looks at me like a monster when I order plain cheeseburgers.
But you are 😊
No way dude. It’s so good just having them plain
It makes sense that he doesn’t like condiments. The mans whole life has been dedicated to using the fewest best ingredients, and making them shine. Top quality soy, fish, rice, and wasabi. That’s all he needs.
Yes, the quality of ingredients speak for themselves.
But that philosophy applies better to steaks than burgers. Burgers are about balance. Steaks are about showcasing a a piece of meat and making it shine with a few great ingredients.
dolofonos so I’m not Japanese? Ok.
He should just try putting wasabi in his burgers lol
ayanami808 but some onions Atleast tho? I like some lettuce sometimes. But damn no onions?
That sous chef has some nice personality. He shared last piece of grilled sandwich to the other chef. Also didn’t drink beer while in the work. Nice dude.
That's Eugeniu Zubco!
Everyone: A burger without toppings or condiments?
Masa literally: Hold my beer
Cheese only rules !
I dunno, a burger without pickles?
Pickles are gross
muddyfarmer oscuras ha ha ha best comment
I ate burger without the meat only bun cheese pickle not because diet because the lack of money i can afford
Went there Thursday evening and can confirm that the burgers are truly out of this world. Also, the blood orange whiskey cocktail is a delightful surprise and just as enjoyable as the burgers!
You’re so lucky
In the video they looked overcooked, like almost well done, was yours like that too?
@@noamto it's well done only the extreme heart of it is slightly pink
Can you tell us the name of the restaurant? Please
@@manuelandrade8640 it's in the description
Meat and Cheese. That's it! Masa, you're a man of culture!
Hells yeah! 👍
U need some bacon son!
it is a beef patty, served with cheese, spiced with nothing.
"best burger ever"
like, cuz the cheese has bacterial cultures?
Whaaat?? Chicken?!..And cow??!!
I really love him. He is so chilled and friendly.
I love how they have so much fun doing this. Like the saying "do what you love and you will never work a day in your life".
That smoking method is interesting, now wanna try burning chopsticks and smoke all kinds of foods.
All kinds?
@@HardAsNailsTony all kinds.
@@minkjay3218 how bout my 2year old sister?
@@player7987 all kinds.
ALL KINDZZZZZZZZ
Oh we'll just get a Michelin starred chef to make grilled cheese...BEST IDEA EVER!
Stop praising tire owners roadmap guide. Masa is an excellent culinary professional with no need of any stars from resin car parts makers.
Nick Sushkevich
Michelin is a name, like Stanley. We have the Stanley tools and we got the Stanley cup, not the same Stanley. Same goes for Michelin.
edit: seems like a lot didn't get the j
@@bobbiusshadow6985 It's not a joke. It's the same Michelin, the tire company.
I like how you say that but im eating the best grilled cheese i ever made with homemade bread homemade butter and homemade cheese
@@Nilnus it was a joke, but thanks Captain Obvious!)
Really upset they didn’t put the grilled cheese in the smoker.
Same
no butter, no smoke. SAD!
Wouldn't fly on the kids menu
eastjm80 Worst looking grilled cheese ever
eastjm80 I was waiting for that!
When he said no toppings, I finally felt like I was understood by someone. A burger with toppings can be great, don't get me wrong, but there's something amazing about a burger that's just about tasting the beef, with maybe a bit of cheese to add to it in such a specific way. Since they come from the same animal, the flavour profiles just compliment each other perfectly with taking anything away from either. He must truly make an amazing hamburger.
yup. its how i make my own burgers at home to my preferred tastes. season my burger, add some cheese, maybe i butter the bun a bit but other than that... thats all.
I do understand where you're coming from but we have something for that. It's called steak. When you want beef naked you get a steak. When you want beef with a bunch of other flavors you get a burger because generally its lesser quality meat.
@@joi8674 good thing with a burger is that you can eat it with your hands, it always tastes better when you can just bite into your food without cutlery
I like a little crunch, so I'll do just cheese with some fresh sliced jalapeno or even a little shredded cabbage. It's sweeter than lettuce and has a better crunch. And not on a bun, toasted bread. Like a nice rye, crusty peasant style, sourdough, or even pumpernickel. My grocery store bakes really good bread in house, I get that rather than the big name brands, way better.
Yo man I also feel it, however, I do think a single pickle helps. It cuts through the richness many burgers with cheese have and the sour compliments the taste. That aside anything else is too extra
Hey where do I get that spikey tiny skillet thing?
i also want one
Buy it papa
i need this please
Does it come with used chopsticks?
Shout out please.
Chef Masa sipping on some beer and watching other people enjoy that delicious burger. True legend!
@ 3:20 when Masa goes in for a bite of fries, that's a good sign you're with a great chef. Still so in love with cooking and food he has to snack on something he's probably made and eaten thousands of times over. Even with a camera there haha
This guy is the coolest Japanese chef. The rest of them are so seriously focused into their craft, smiling or joking around is unholy
He's just drinking and having fun cc:
Apparently he got murdered.
@@StephenAndrew777 tf? Chef Masa is still alive according to what I searched up. Where'd you get this info from?
@@chaosblitz7921 You're right, I was confusing him with another chef that went by Masa. Masa Kobayashi, but he did a long time ago. I got confused.
The way they utilize used chopstick is dope. 😂🤣🤣😂
Bryan May Versola Except if you knew how much bleach and chemicals they have used to make those disposable chopsticks
@@alvindurochermtl wow you're fun at parties
The masa restaurants all use the same chopsticks, which are made of untreated japanese cypress - they're special ordered from japan by the restaurants.
If you look carefully you can see that both ends are treated, shows that it is no ordinary disposable chopsticks.
H2X2E2532 yeah maybe chopsticks from China. Do your research before you make claims like that. Not all chopsticks are made that way. Do you really think a fine dining chef wouldn’t do his research before doing this? Do you know every step of the process of how all japanese brand chopsticks are made? Quit making assumptions
Love Chef Masa so much. 👍 I have a set of square *_pie irons_* that are similar but without the internal spikes. Took them on a camping trip many years ago for toasted sandwiches but abandoned them because aluminum foil is easier, no clean up and less space. I may dig them out of storage and try making a burger. 😀
Tac on some nails on the inside.
That’s awesome. Let us know how it goes??!
If yours don't have a handle like his, I don't think it's a good idea.. the spike there to keep the meat in place when you flip it
@@Mehithose it's to get heat into the middle of the meat
Mountain pies are the best part of camping.
Killer episode! Love seeing chefs chillin in the kitchen doing what they love.
This is how I snagged my wife, first time she spent the night at my place she said she was hungry and wanted to get some fast food. I gave her a “WTF” look, give me 30 min. Cooked her a full 3 course meal. She fell in love and never looked back. Granted she blames me for her 20 lbs she put on since we met but still love her to death.
NFiltr8Red There’re always better thick
@@jtyree0226 jesus, they are not thicc to be eaten. This is not hansel and gratel
Mohd Anas Mohd Nor
wtf you talking about? Get the F outta here with your Jeffery Dahmer ass
#Goals 😂
jtyree0226 their *
That Nambu Cast Iron is awesome. I can see the Prime Time boys selling these on late night infomercials. What a versatile and effective cooking tool. Here come the standard cheesy one liners...
Kevin Wong is this a regional Japanese product? Can I find something similar somewhere??!!?!!
"BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE"
Well it's for making burgers so the one liners had better be cheesy
Your burger will show a spike of improvement with this!
Imagine having Masa, a world renowned respected sushi chef, a master in the art of aesthetic sushi making, a guy whose hands are probably worth millions, and you make him make grilled cheese sandwich with Wonderbread. Lmfao, xD
it's just so blatantly american
Favorite episode yet. Keep em coming!
I just watched Chef Masa's interview regarding Chef Anthony Bourdain's death , had me in tears Again one year and a half later ....Chef Masa said [ in tears ] that Anthony was the real deaL>>>>Chef Masa, so are you.
Two white guys, walk into a Japanese mans burger joint, with an Italian Guy working, Sous.
I Love the USA.
SL0TH B0MBER sorry , but I'm from Moldova (do I look Italian ?)
@@huiabra it was a total guess, dude. Lmao
SL0TH B0MBER 😅
@@huiabra I'm not changing it. This is our Weird internet experience. Cherish it.
And he makes German food.
was introduced to Masa by Anthony Bourdain . RIP
Rest in Peace Tony.
Anthony Burdain didn't kill himself, just ask the Clintons...
Can someone explain what you all are talking about?
@@arcanum3882 Anthony Bourdain committed suicide.
卧槽，抓
Love this Chef. Thank you for showing us this!
ive watched this video at least 6-7 times yet everytime it, when they put the burgers in the smocker it makes my mouth water
1:12 "I love burger, I eat it almost every (DAY!), once a week" lol
Apparently eating a burger once a week proves that a japanese loves burgers
i love they way he looks at them with his beer in hand like "i told you so"
What a great episode. So nice and informal!
What a legend masa
Respect....love it
"I love burger, I eat almosy every week..." 😂😂😂Im eating that almost everyday 😂
I just grilled a dozen (plus 10 brats) for a family of four!
(Granted, I will put a lot of that in the freezer and have it over the course of weeks.)
The way he opened the bread is the most chef thing I've ever seen
Hobbsgoblin 😅
Great chef
Humble and honorable
Man, he looks like he would be so fun to meet. A down to earth guy, not snobby... Success has not gone to his head.
I need one of those
Holy crap, I want those Nambu burger cast irons. The things you could make
PERFECT!!! Because not everyone likes medium rare or medium well, yet they still get to enjoy a juicy burger.
Adding this to my list right now. Excited to see if it tops my current NYC fav burger.
Loved the "Strong words Masa, Strong words!" :)))
Spiky skillet. Nice!
Smoked burger. LEGEND!
Love these guys, great stuff!
I love how other countries have now discovered Laugen-bread. It's one of the best foods Germany has in my opinion.
And here I am eating cold baked beans still in the can with Lays to pour in
DueSouls Hey I thought only I was desperate enough to eat that hahaha
Ure still blessed bro it's all good...
DueSouls I’m eating retried beans preparing for a great cleansing
Black beans and rice. Poor college student meal. tortillas too.
@@ptonfire1 beans are pretty healthy
good choice :)
Masa: I love burgers. I eat burgers once a week.
Americans: *laughs in heart attack* rookie numbers
I love him Chef Masa
Legend
Chad Masa keeping it simple and straightforward.
You keep at it, old man.
...okay, so where can I get one of these magical burger cooking, torture device looking things? Cause I think my kitchen needs one now.
Its a dumb idea. Its a george foreman grill that you put on the grill.. plus poking holes in the burger is stupid
It's not stupid, it's advanced XD no but i need it it would be perfect for a weed infused burger coating the pan first with some cbd oils hmmm
@@Buddashii LOL well that would burn up the oils as you can see the "chef" tilt the pan and who uses CBD oil anyways. It'd be better to get distillate, which is already active thc, and add it after, like in the condiments.
@magnum no thank you! I will do it as a chef or ex chef meaning me would do. not how you want it
It is about the taste the taste man you hear weed and you think of high no look at it like oregano just enough to bring out a extra dimention of flavors that zing and that earthy flavors
As long as no one boils burger like that Hotel Hell episode, I’m good!
Just love how wholesome and cool masa charecter is.
Well done most definitely. Impressive. I want one
When he said "I don't know how we got invited"
I felt that
This dude’s a genius!!!! 💕💞💕💞
Inspiring work chef!
That looked so fun ... and yummy.. enjoyable video guys.
I love you guys. You're having so much fun exploring food! Hahahahaha. What a bunch of buttheads bringing Wonder bread to Masa's kitchen! Great job.
Boy they sure are some darn scoundrels.
I think the grilled cheese needed some butter to toast the bread properly.
Correct
or half a rasher of bacon ... works great too ...
Could've used the juices from the meat earlier that was on the device
This
Not butter, ghee. Always use ghee for buttering toasted sandwich.
What a game changer, definitely whant to give this process a try!
This video really makes me hungry and the burger is so good with cheese but the only problem is that I want a burger now So enjoyable to watch.👍😋
Love this chef. Everything everyone likes in that restaurant. Beer, sushi and sandwiches.
I’m definitely an enthusiast and not an expert, but in my head, I generally categorize hamburger patty cooking methods into “oily,” “wet,” and “dry,” with various styles, equipment, and techniques producing/providing different combinations of those effects.
This device and procedure looks like a really fascinating hybrid between dry (peep those dark char marks) and wet (notably the way that Japanese-style Western cuisine likes to serve “hamburger steaks”). Depending on whether or not he’s oiling the inside of that press, or how much fat is rendering out of his ground beef, there may be oily elements going on in there too.
Very curious. Never seen anything quite like it before. Looks delicious, and really makes me want to try!!
Amazing how you said nothing in so man words
Blitzapfel Hahah, thanks man.
@@deadfr0g he's right you know lol.
this guy is so chill!!!
Chef Masa is SO COOL!! :D
I love him and I HAVE to go taste his food!!
i'm from japan and dream of going to texas one day to eat the perfect barbeque.
Edit: oh man this comment blew up. Wishing you all guys the best in this current situation the world is in, ps. I found a western style bbq here in nagoya and i hope to try it soon as this covid situation here is gone, it is called Mid Town BBQ Nagoya.
We can trade places cause I live in the CTX and I want to go to Japan and try the food
@@TheodoreBrosevelt that would be sooo great bro, i have a looooot to eat and do when i go there. Hahaha
You made a mistake, if you like PORK barbecue North Carolina is the Mecca and best styles 💪.
How about Kansas City bro?
@@say-cred true... but then your in kansas city so like is it really worth it?
Sous chef was mad asf he had to slice up that wonderbread bag with his knife
Project Sigma I wasn't, but seems like nobody believes me 😅
Gene lmao hey chef
@@huiabra Dude how are you? hope all gose well ! good day to ya from fellow sous in wa State
Vintage Stay Modern all good man, had a very long day , feel tierd as hell, but yet so happy, tried cooked a lot of interesting things today, and got a lot of satisfied customers. Good end of the week . In the train exhausted with a peaceful smile 😅
@@huiabra how DID u even end up at Masa man Ur living the Carrer i want too. Bust Ur ass in a worthy kitchen and feel the tireness and satisfaction at the end of the day on a bus going home. Really give u my congrats. Oh and Masa seems such a cool non snob man im damn impressed
I seriously need me one of those spiked burger cookers. Totally awesome! 🤟
I love the AU-SOME energy from everyone, very beautiful job Gentlemen
Truly this is an interplanetary level of genius... the man is literally smoking burgers with trash and selling them for $18.
Way too funny ...
The white castle principle. It's why the burgers have holes. So heat passes through the meat..
Thess are men of culture
we have those things but without the spikes on long handles . they are for cooking burgers in campfires . and come in many types ..
walmart sells em probably tastes like camping .. the flavor of camping outdoors sorta .
Love the banter :)
Sous chef is done with your silly games
jdome jd be gone from me!
I think he got one of those smokin chopsticks up his ass.
Wutsizface Jesus , how do you know 😱
jdome jd haha I noticed that too! Uncultured swines!
@@huiabra you look like a cool dude!
The chef's smile makes me smile.
What I love about the old chefs, even those who became celebrity chefs, like Masa or Wolfgang Puck, is their work attitude. When they started there was no such thing as a celebrity chef, they were simply workers in the kitchen. I'm sure there were complicated egos even back in the days, but they were tradespeople working away in the background. I admire that.
that dude looks like the guy from worth it 40 years later.
The white dude or the Asian dude?
djjaewon Boi that’s a neck
Lmao! And the white guy with the hat is the white guy from worth it, 2030 version.
You call those asians
The dudes from Worth It went to Tetsu. Check out the last restaurant in their Sushi and Burger episode.
Didnt know hisaishi dabbled in culinary art, what a wonderful world
Really enjoyed watching this 😋
omg im like halfway through this video and still drooling af.🤤 well i guess i'd be probably drooling until the end of this entire vid. (3 more minutes to go) lol. 😁
👍👍
"I love burger, i eat it every--- almost once a week" lmao my shake shack addicted self
HERE AFTER THE WORTH IT VIDEO 🆙
I like this man. He has good ideas
Incredible!! I want to buy these!!
Chef Masa is so dope
You are so dope!
3:08
I was literally yelling at my computer telling him to eat it
I gotta check this place out when I'm in the NYC
Wow that looks amazing.
