- On The Burger Show, smashburgers are gospel. And over the last few years, this iconic style has exploded in popularity all over the world. For today's challenge, three burger experts are going to teach you three different ways to make a smashburger. Burger Scholar George Motz will be giving a history lesson on the original smashburger. Burger Show host Alvin Cailan is flexing his creativity by making a hybrid Jucy-Lucy smashburger. And cookbook author J. Kenji López-Alt will bridge the crispiness of a smashburger with the juiciness of a thick patty in his burger science experiment. Get ready for your ultimate smashburger master class.
J. Kenji López-Alt's 'Every Night is Pizza Night' is available here: bookshop.org/books/every-nigh...

*The Burger Illuminati has assembled 👁*
IN MOTZ WE TRUST.
No. Alvin isnt apart if that. Its only George. Relax guys. Alvin is just getting fatter and is an expert at eating not at food making. Anyone can own a restaurant. Doesnt make you a cook.
@@dpellek74 you sound like a real stand-up guy. The life of the party, if you will. Tons of friends and stuff........yeah.
This is the way.
You guys are the Illuminati, completely funded by the meat industry to support terrible health and animal consumption so that the planet is destroyed and everyone dies fat and greasy... love the videos though
The Burger Kings.
Oh hey man! Going to make these burgers, but better?
YOU TOO PAPA! love your videos
So're *YOU* , Babish and Sam the Cooking Guy
@@leatherhitman7401 I see you are a man of class! YOOO I LOVE SAM AND BABISH! You know who else you should check out? not another cooking show and someone named Alex great you tubers :)

I'm not used to not being stuck on Kenji's face
I need my first person cooking experience
I was thinking the same thing!
Me neither.

George... Burger the Wolwerine way.... 😜🤣😂🤣😂😋😋😋😋😋😋👍👍👍👍👍🤗🇨🇭
God Tier would be add Bacon and a fried egg on top.
I could listen to George Motz talk about burger history all day. I've never known of anyone so obsessed with one food and its history like he is, and the passion is contagious.
Absolutely!
Watching kenji from a different perspective felt weird. They should have switched to gopro first person haha

Gotta get that spatula go pro action shot
George: "Alright, so here's why this historic burger is a good burger"
Alvin: "Alright, so here's why this modern burger is a good burger"
Kenji: "Alright, so here's why this scientific approach to creating the most burger per burger is the best burger"
I was going to comment something very similar, but you beat me to it!!!!
are you latino? the dialogue commentary is giving it away lmao

Old burger, flat burger, and burger burger.

-George and Alvin : why do we hear boss music?
George's passion and knowledge makes him so fun to watch. Get this man a tv series
He has an older series called Burger Land
'Burger Scholar Sessons" Look it up
he had one, no one watched it cuz it was on tv so they cancelled it. he has a show on this channel that a TON of people watch
Yup make that happen ❤
2.2 million views... I think he's already doing it lol
Man George and Kenji in one vid. I love Alvin but those two together is legendary
Alvin is meh
Agreed
Alvin is basically worthless. He isnt an expert at burgers. He is just an expert fat guy. And HE GOT FATTER IN QUARANTINE!!!! HOW??? oh wait. Burgers and fries. Duh.
Alvin is meh a very very mehhh
@@dpellek74 hey now let’s not make fun of his body. I’m just sayin as host
Why do I only watch these when I’m starving 😭
Same. I was supposed to go to bed, but the second I started watching this...well, let's say I added another excess of 500 calories to my day
No they just make you hungry, even if you’re eating while watching
Because you'd like to be a glutton for burgers, but in the end we're all just gluttons for punishment.
I watch these after I've eaten and then am starving again. A miracle I've lost weight during Covid
I just ate dinner an hour or two ago and watching this episode made me hungry AF
This needs to be a Netflix series. The historian, the expert, and the scientist.
And once again, Kenji is playing at a whole different level from others. Made his own beef flavored "american" cheese. Truly one of the masters.
Right, so he boiled 5 pounds of beef bones in order do make a fuckin burger or six?
Go and try to make beef demi-glace.
yeah i would pay way too much $ to chow on that Kenjiburger

Petition to give George a longer-form burger history show called Smash Course
In case you weren't aware, George did a TV series back in 2012, more about best local spots than how to make, but if you want more Motz here you go: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burger_Land
He also have a show called "burger scholar sessions" in first we feast
Can we earn MBAs at the end of it (Masters of Burger Arts)?
He also directed a documentary in 2004 called Hamburger America
Check out burger scholar
Video feels like it's missing a closing segment where the 3 discuss their burgers with each other.
Yeah I was expecting them to discuss that at the end as well. It would've been interesting to hear their opinions on each other's burgers
Sad burger noises
They can't taste each other's burgers, I think these people understand that just watching a video means shit when critiquing food
thank you. needs closing commentary for sure, and each one making/tasting the other two burgers would also be great
@@GothicKin they can still talk about the process, theory, etc.
I remember when I was younger my mom would make burgers like this because we were too poor to buy the ready to make and patty shapers. So we got beef in bulk and she made it homemade like this. Love my mom
You know, its funny how you said you were too poor for ready made patties. I grew up with the sense that ready made was more expensive because people couldn’t make authentic beef patties. That they had to pay more to miss out on the real good shit, home made beef patties.
My childhood was the same.
I got homemade burgers on white bread while normal kids got McDonald's. I thought I was missing out, but now I know I was lucky.
Kenji’s burger should be called ”Through Thick and Thin”.
Genius!
@@willzavala9890 thanks!
This is actually good man
The joy on Kenji’s face when he realizes it’s better than he thought it would be.
Yeah, but he compensates for crappy pans with extra work.
@@madthumbs1564 you don't think he knows what he's doing?
@bobby hill Damn bro what’d he do to you lmao. Mans just cooking a burger chill out
Kenji is pretentious to you? What do you think about Ramsey then?
That’s a true artist of food right there. Literally trying a new experiment on the show.
Kenji is literally the Einstein of food. I’ve never seen a man so fascinated by it or with as much knowledge about it
Lookup Harold McGee, he is the Einstein of food - Kenji is more the Bill Nye and very good at explaining it to a wide audience.
I second harold mcgee, he might be the single greatest resource for crazily detailed food knowledge in human history, without exaggeration.
I'd put Heston Blumenthal as the max planck of the culinary world , up there with ferran
@@JacobPope On Food and Cooking is a terrifically fun book to read.
Heston Blumenthal
Kenji's burger idea is brilliant, especially the "beef cheese." Call this burger the "Best of Both Worlds Burger."
His is the worst of the 3, misses the point of smash burgers
Best of Both Burglds
kinda sad we didn't get a round of reactions from the three guys to each other's burgers...
And have them try each others food
Kenji is the GOAT, he literally doesn't even know how good he is.
He actually does ... he has a floor mat with one of his own quotes.
@@algorerhyth that made me laugh but I don’t think it’s necessarily a sign of vanity. I don’t know the quote, though 😂
@@LegacyFTW he doesn't come across as vain to me either .. self assured as a man of his accomplishments should be.. and needs to be
@@algorerhyth can you reiterate kenji's quote please ? It has slipped my mind but i remember loving how sassy it sounded
@@algorerhyth That was sent to him as a gift by a fan
George has a "1 mouth burn per episode minimum" clause built into his contract, suffers for his art.
This deserves top comment

“Beef cheese”
Never have I heard something so orgasmic
Cheese is made of beef, if you think about it.
NO Cheese is made of cow !!!! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I heard that and instantly came 👀🔥
-Home kitchen guru kenji lopez alt .
- Also kenji : starts wearing gloves like a professional burger hitman .
Kenji, yours can be named “The Best of Both Worlds”.
That's a great name!
The Hannah Montana if you will
I like it, and it can be called just "both worlds" for short.
Came here to say exactly that
I would name it The Double Trouble!
I love how they all fullfill their roles
George makes a historicaly accurate Burger
Alvin invents a new burger based on food Trends and viral recipes
And Kenji shows us HOW to make a smashed burger and the science behind it - This is awesome
Ohhh.........
ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html
Kenji is just straight up flexing. I would call it the Laurel & Hardy burger.
That's the best name I've seen so far. Kudos
Yup best name
nice
Best one for sure. WELL DONE.
i love Kenji! he is the reason i started working in a restaurant as a part time job at the age of 44. The man is so inspiring!
Lol George is always burning his mouth
George is a trusthworty person...
Q: What did the femur say to the patella?
A: I kneed you.
@@jdwmyt shut your pie hole
George: I love the origin story
Alvin: I love to keep it simple
Kenji: I have no idea what this is going to taste like lol
leave it to motz to be a goofball, alvin to get crazy and kenji to educate me.... all three personalities in one burger episode. loved it.
One is using a historical approach, one is using his experience and passion, and the last is using a scientific approach. I love all of them!
I love how they are being so modest about why the Smashburger is popular again Knowing damn well it is because of them
Literally! Every time they mentioned it being “so popular these days” I was wringing my hands like it’s straight up BECAUSE of you guys 😂
I’m a Professional Grill Cook and I’ve cooked over a half million burgers to order. I always watch these. There is always something more to learn
Oh I'm so happy to see Kenji López-Alt! I read his articles! He's the BESTEST! Ok, George is the bestest too, so humble, so humorous, loving the story and we all know he loves the taste... but leaves it to his friends to make magnificent burgers. He just... makes the first. And teaches us a wonderful lesson of humility.
You guys are good.
George: "Alright, here's a historical burger!"
Alvin: "Alright, here's a different format for the smash burger!"
Kenji: "Alright, here's a mix between regular burger and smash burger, and let me just deconstruct american cheese and create beef cheese while we're at it no big deal"
My man made Demi glacé cheese and barely even mentioned it.
Kenji needs his own show on this channel!!! I enjoy his narrative and style.
Good news, Kenji already has his own youtube channel. It's pretty good! ua-cam.com/channels/qqJQ_cXSat0KIAVfIfKkVA.html
Narrative and style are good; information not so.
Lmao, when Kenji said his was gonna get weird. Beef cheese was definitely not what i was expecting... lol
I just can’t get past beef-cheese. He’s the master.
Y'know, Kenji's pretty sensible when it comes to food, I wasn't expecting him to compete with Alvin or George's burger fetish, but then the words "beef cheese" came out of his mouth.
I think beef cheese is possibly one of the best things i have ever heard
Nah Kenji is the guy that asks why something is so good, find the answer, and find a way to maximize its potential.
In his book he actually said that he loves burgers, that explains it pretty much lol
He may be a champion of home cooking on his youtube channel but his time at Serious Eats and his Food Lab book goes so in depth that most youtube personalities pretty much cooks his recipes for a living and brands their face on the video. TBF, many of them do give him credit.
@@sonofjenova7 He reminds me a lot of Heston Blumenthal, a multi Michelin Star chef from the U.K. who took 2 seasons worth of recipes to their Origins, and then to the stratosphere by maximizing the scientific method to enhance or concentrate flavor...
Motz is the man! What a burger legend!
Kenji to me you knocked that burger out the park. Perfect cook brother. I made my first smash burger off of yours years ago with my in and out twist. It was a great hit with all the family. Thank you brother. Your a great cook and an inspirational cook. Love what you give back to us. Peace out brother.
That flapper thing is the best looking burger I've ever seen. I let out an audible "oh" when he squeezed it and the cheese came out.
So that’s the dude whose head I’ve been riding around on for the last 7 months?
Late Night Chorizo Grilled Cheese
@@arteonyx LMAO YES i don't even know how many times i've watched that singular video
Each of them represents 3 different approaches to cooking burgers
George is all about going back to its roots
Alvin is about modernism and trying new things
Kenji is about taking a scientific approach to maximize results.
Q: What do you call a gangsta snowman?
A: Froze-T
Third burger…Think and Thin = “TNT Burger” of course.
I love how nerdy and unpretentious Kenji is. Brilliant guy!
"Home kitchen guru" - selling someone a little short LMAO
Quite the opposite. Kenji is good at talking while cooking, great at bragging himself up, but he's far from a guru.
@@madthumbs1564 you sound like someone that doesn't know Kenji's background in the Food Lab.
@@Maityist yo, I'm unfamiliar unfortunately. is the food lab its own UA-cam channel or a series Kenji does on his channel?
@@Celebratorofdifferences its a recipe book that explains and uses a lot of food science concepts
@@madthumbs1564 Nah dude, Kenji's accomplished af. Look him up, I'm too lazy sorry
Kenji is a cooking god.
Definitely the burger that id wanna try first
He's very smart in some ways, but a total idiot in others. There are much better channels to watch.
Awesome! I'm going to try and recreate all of these! Thanks everyone for the inspiration, how-to, and wonderful history and food imagery!
I think Kenji may have nailed this one. Would love to try them all.
Kenji’s looks so damn good.
@Cosmin Costea Lol I don't think you know what FAS is. None of his facial features would indicate it
@Cosmin Costea LMAO😂
@Cosmin Costea 1/7 made me reply. Apply yourself.
Dam good
So glad I found you guys! This channel is awesome. Thank you!
George’s section is so well done. Young could tell how much effort they put into his part.
Never knew i could have a physical attraction to and desire for something called Beef-Cheese...
@@taralamlam1961 hey, look, the scambot glitched.
I cream my pants for goat cheese though.
C'mon, Kenji. It's clearly called the Thick 'n Thin.
George: Classical
Alvin: Pop
Kenji: Futuristic
Always nice to see 3 legends do their own takes on a classic
kenji made the best one and it isnt even close
Give him the W
The other two are so much easier to make, tho. Even including the tank of beef tallow. The second you include demiglace, you've upped the prep time to at least 12 hours.
@@hopelesslydull7588 ignoring that, he just simply cooked the nicest, most appetizing patties
@@hopelesslydull7588 you can buy demiglace on Amazon. Guga uses it.
It wasn't about who cooked the best one.
George is legendary, idk why he ever left the show. His content is def the best between all of them, Kenji is a close second but the diversity of burgers is fun to watch and learn. Should be more of this in my opinion
George never left, they gave him his own show on First we Feast called Burger Scholar
also has his own UA-cam channel promoting his own content too
@@lilaznballaz1022 I have yet to find his Channel then, cause his content on here has been replaced by this show recently
I am familiar w burger scholar but that hasn’t been on is a month or more
@@lilaznballaz1022 I cant seem to find his youtube channel, do you have a link to that?
Kenji's burger was on a whole other level of awesomeness. What a true Legend.
I've always thought about that combination of a fat juicy patty and a smash patty whenever I see them debate which is better. I'm glad someone finally did it.
@@justinhill2378 Best of both worlds, ain't it?
I'm glad there's such a thing as a 'burger scholar'.
This is my kinda show. I always cook a burger myself when I watch and eat along. Doesn't really get old.
I would have loved to have seen four!
Get in on this gig Greg, you’ve certainly earned it 👌🏻
Yessss we need ballistic BBQ on here. You have some of the craziest best burgers on your channel
Hey Greg I shouted you out in my comment.
I would have loved for Greg from Balistic BBQ to have been the 4th guy on there, it wud have made it the best yeeh 🇮🇪💚👍🇺🇸
@NotSnarl I've seen your comments on several videos. You are such a worthless troll... I'm guessing a 14 year-old gamer??? LOL!
I love Kenjis approach to his burger. The juiciness from the thicker patty mixed with the smashed patty is such a good idea.
I miss the burger show! Nice to see you guys. All three of those looked awesome. Hard to pick a favourite (without tasting them, of course!). God bless you guys this Christmas!
I trust George most.
I dunno if that was a typo or a pun
Motz people do.
In Motz we trust.
Me too but kenji's looks the best/most interesting to try
@@Graingerkiene1212 I wanna try that beef cheese
That burger Alvin made is basically the result of hanging with Motz all this time, which I love.
I kinda wish he did the fried onion burger tech as well into his meat pancake to make the flapper even better.
ya I also thought that burger looked like it could use some onions, using the fried onion burger technique there would be awesome
Alvin, you've been killin it! Great content, I've watched more "Burger Show" over the holidays more than anything else.
I love Alvin, George, and all the other guests and I know smashburger is literally in the title is this episode, but I was excited to see Kenji include a thicker patty in his sandwich since I feel like this show is really smashburger heavy.
6 hours ago, I had never heard of George Motz. I've now binged as much of his burger videos ad possible. We need more Motz!
Same goes with Kenji for me..
Same, I thought he was an aging Johnny Knoxville 😬
The internet needs Kenji and George together in the same room again someday
Somehow I've just never heard of a Smashburger until I started watching The Burger Show and now it's all I can think about. I can't wait to try making my own smashburgers
It's tricky, you have to smash the burger just right.
I feel like Alvin's burger could have the same result without the hassle of folding the meat by just making 3 thinner patties with cheese stacked. Kenji always insane to watch, Motz as well being nicely informational
but then you wouldnt have the flaps
Wont be the same man. Alvins burger is innovation
Part one: History. Part two: Art. Part three: Science.
my kind of education
The trifecta
The last guy ive heard of so many times like the dudes food god or something and ive never seen his face till now and i dont know i didnt expect him to look like that but that food looks amazing that he made
you should definitely check his channel out. You'll learn so much from him. :)
He is definitely a food god. Check his channel out. You won't regret it
@@pugward ight bet i deff will I love how positive the food youtube comunity is
As usual, Kenji knocked it out of the park. Such a talented master
I invented the "Half Smash" (Kenji Burger) a few years ago to resolve the conflict between pub burger and smash burger enthusiasts. It's like Christmas 2 days in a row.
oh maaaan, the same thing happened to me also when Babish stole my mashed potato recipes lol .... mine(one month before) : ua-cam.com/video/J2wbv3Hpya8/v-deo.html and his: ua-cam.com/video/ZLnWdPPJvYg/v-deo.html
Again Kenji shows how much thought you can put into something "simple" like a burger and come up with something so much better. I mean what he did was stunning, dont you think?
BEEF CHEESE!!! Kenji just gets it.
The beef-cheese is something else.
I dont ever wanna see this series fall tbh I love this show wit a fuckin passion.
I’m surprised binging with babish hasn’t watched this yet
Watching Wolverine's Father making Burgers is a Marvel....
Kenji and George in the same video with Alvin hosting??? Maybe 2020 isn't so bad after all....
Alvin is a joke bro. He isnt an expert anything. He owns a restaurant. Big deal. Anyone can. He is just an expert at gaining weight
I like Alvin. Different strokes for different folks
@@dpellek74 I like Alvin, just because he isn't a certified expert doesn't mean the episodes aren't fun to watch. Maybe he has a diploma off camera that none of us can see. I don't own a restaurant so I can't speak to his ability but he's a better burger maker than I am that is for sure.
@@kaiserlos2441 me too.
@@dpellek74 He's a literal chef...
I was just looking for a good video to explain smash burgers and came across this awesome video. Great to know the history behind this iconic burger.
This is so killer, Motz is a fountain of information, Alvin is creative as hell in general, but Kenji, WTF, I've never seen anyone make their own talo/chedar cheese sheets before. Fucking hats off. I want to dedicate more time to burgers now. Thanks for the love, creativity, and dedication to this craft
Kenji should have recorded his with a gopro strapped to his head. Not because I don’t like seeing him this just felt so formal lol
J. Kenji showing love to a Portland staple, Apizza Scholls! The burgers always look incredible!
Apizza Scholls is stupid good
Love the flapper, def gonna make this.
I’ve been burger cookin’ for 21 years and by far I’m proudest of my career at Schoop’s here in the NWI. The smash is so fun, methodical and delicious. Yum AF!
as much as I love George, Kenji got the win on this one!! daaaang
When the host who works for a media company has worse camera quality then the guy who straps a go pro to his head and America's crazy uncle
Great history lesson aswell as great professional smashing thanks you guys!
First time seeing one of these videos, really informative and great personalities. Really well done.
Hi UA-cam algorithm.
I see George Motz, I click.
Ditto, Fuck Alvin! Burger Scholar 4 life !
I caught myself smiling when Kenji tasted his burger.
That flapper burger looks incredible! All 3 looked great!
Enjoy all 3 creators ... but here I get the distinct "they just messed up something awesome by getting too complicated" - vibe. Keep 'em coming!
