@@bitharneno he’s right. Why do you think Japan has better healthy people than America? All they mainly eat is chicken and fish. Americans eat a LOT of beef! Unfortunately red meat is kinda like the candy junk food of meat. It’s fantastic and delicious and I love it! But it does cause problems with the heart if taken in huge quantities over long periods.
@@spregged7231you’re not wrong, though beef, especially fatty ones like the Wagyu are also very popular in Japan. Not to mention pork stock and cutlets.

@@spregged7231 not gonna pretend like any of that’s incorrect. Truth is my genetics pretty much save me from my lifestyle.

Tiny victories over generations are what inevitably change the scope of a people.
This is what I respect about Chris, he's wholesome and honest. Every time Ron comes to criticize his actions or preferences, he's always open about it.
I remember seeing a comment from someone who consulted his brother with 20 years of career experience in culinary arts about whether or not a turkey burger could 'beat' a beef burger. The answer he got was that if a trained chef did a lot of bells and whistles types of things with the turkey, it would be better than the beef. But the moment the beef burger is given bacon or caramelized onions, the turkey is defeated plain and simple.
turkey is simply not a very flavorsome meat. it can however provide good flavor if you use it's bones and such for stock and use that but how often does a burger include stock?
The only reason you buy ground turkey is for cost - it's a lot cheaper - but definitely nowhere near as good. Now I will happily eat oven baked turkey (especially with gravy) a couple of times a year (no deep fried - way too greasy), but other than that give me beef.
I can't rightly say that I've ever had ground turkey, but roast turkey for christmas with pan juice gravy? Hell to the motherfucking yeah! But that said, I do like a nicely cooked beef scotch fillet steak done medium rare, seasoned with salt and pepper and some garlic, herbs and butter to add some sauce to it.
I remember reading somewhere that Chris Pratt never used a spit bucket between takes like the other actors. He'd just straight up eat burger after burger every take. It's really funny seeing him down a burger without chewing though.
I was so surprised, and delighted, to see that there’s one person on this show that even Jerry won’t hesitate to dump on. I honestly forgot Kyle existed before this moment.
I love how both of them made a good burger that really shows how they each of them are individually. Ron is a salt of the earth type of person who tells it like it is (a simple beef burger with no added ingredients) while Chris is a kind soul who genuinely cares but is insecure about showing his true self (a turkey burger with top quality ingredients).
I love how Chris has intricate plating and a detailed explanation of the diverse ingredients for his culinary creation. While Ron doles out plain hamburgers on paper plates with a bottle of ketchup in his pants pocket. 😆
One of the best series ever. Pohler and crew really knocked it out of the park making these characters real people. Like Andy Dwyer is really good as "star lord"
"Have you ever tried a turkey burger?" "Is that a fried turkey leg inside a grilled hamburger? If so, yes. Delicious." This kind of burger needs to be made asap!
If it hadn't been done already, five minutes after this episode aired, someone was making much-improved version of the traditional, lackluster turkey burger.
Jokes aside, the reason Ron won was because he grilled it over fire/charcoal. Im also willing to bet he seasoned his patty. You dont need anything but salt and smoke. BBQ burgers are a step above anything over a griddle or pan.
There was an episode of 'King Of The Hill' where Hank gets swayed over to charcoal after trying a burger cooked over them. He then spends a time conflicted as he's always been one to hype up propane (and propane accessories) lol.
Point of order! I make a bacon burger in a cast iron skillet by cooking the bacon first, then the burger in the grease of the bacon. I would gladly submit it as a peer of a classic charcoal burger.
The fact that Chris used a laundry list of ingredients to create additional flavors while Ron just let the flavor of the meat speak for itself is just….. wow!!
I'm forever grateful to this show and specifically this episode for being the starting point for Binging With Babish. It was the perfect first episode to fully encapsulate what the channel was all about.
Ron Swanson is a personality that I wish I could channel in many facets of my life. Stubborn masculinity that you can only watch in awe and be impressed by. He is arrogant... but never wrong, because he always knows what he is talking about, and if he doesn't... he attempts to learn... how else can he know his enemy.
For the 4th of July I went to Smart and Final and bought a few pounds of 80/20 ground beef. Picked up the generic buns and American cheese slices. Kept it simple with lettuce, tomato and pickles as toppings along with ketchup and mustard. Cooked em on my blackstone grill. Everyone in the family went nuts and loved the burgers. People lined up for seconds and thirds. I felt like I did Ron proud that day.
I haven’t watched the show, I actually recognized Ron from “The Founder” a movie telling the story how McDonald’s was founded and he played as one of the owners of the original restaurant before McDonald’s became a franchise so no wonder he won.
As a vegetarian, this scene is amazing. Veggie burgers always challenge you to get creative with how you flavor them, which can result in some amazing burgers. But there is absolutely no arguing the wonderful flavor of even just plain beef.
I'm just now noticing the elaborate way Andy eats every bit of the burger, scarfs the last bits like a baby bird, and then camera cut back and he's got another hamburger. I like to think he grabbed another one in that split second.
Man. The fact that it's a simple hamburger, makes me think of the county fair I went to as a kid, even their simple hamburgers were so satisfying, and had such a deep and rich flavor to them.
Funny thing is a recent study showed that red meat doesn't cause these negative effects and thats it's rather a byproduct of not eating enough vegetables
Turkey is incredibly healthy for high protein content and naturally grows from large birds. It's also dry and mostly tasteless due to the lack of fat. The moment someone invented a way to farm chicken efficiently, turkey went on the forgotten lists of meat that only comes out for traditions like Thanksgiving and Christmas, still demanding large amounts of basting, stuffing and sauces to make palatable. Red meat goes even futhur, having even more fat in it's minced form which produce soft juicy burgers.
Andy (well, Chris P) legendarily finishes his hamburger at 2:49 (by discretely throwing some away) ...... but the crew didn't have enough footage of Chris just standing around at 2:52 so they had to put shots of him with the burger back in. Gosh how I wish they discussed this more and had Andy devour a burger in about 2 whole seconds ahaha.
I come back to this video occasionally and just noticed something. 01:40 Chris serves everyone his Turkey burger and then Ron does the same with his beef burger. Andy never ate the turkey burger but does take a bite (many bites) of the beef burger and exclaims..."Oh my god, this is so much better".
Moments like Chris immediately accepting defeat with no grudges are why he was so likable throughout the entire show
I also love how understated it is. You could have imagined another show hamming it up with some ratatouille-style flash back to his childhood or something, instead it gives a much more grounded, normal response.
@@aaronrobinson2121 And they even manage to get a joke out of it with how insanely fast he decides beef is better
I imagine Ron gained a little respect for him in that moment.
Omg why? 😏
I also love how "Victory over Ron Swanson" was a satisfactory potential prize at the start
April is not embarrassed by Andy at all. With pride, she claims him
Love that about her
What every husband dreams of.

Chris is genuinely such a nice guy. We can all only hope to have a Chris in our lives.
I felt the same until he tries Leslie at the court. That was unnecessary and brutal.
don’t hope to have someone like him in your life, be that someone and you’ll attract likeminded people
I love turkey burgers, but the results of this contest were accurately portrayed. ☺
3:02 YAY! lmao
the legend goes they've become a couple and lived together for 20 years
After going "off the grid" and changing their names...
Rob Lowe needs to do more comedy roles lol,his timing and delivery with "This is better" was perfection lol.
For the 4th of July I went to Smart and Final and bought a few pounds of 80/20 ground beef. Picked up the generic buns and American cheese slices. Kept it simple with lettuce, tomato and pickles as toppings along with ketchup and mustard. Cooked em on my blackstone grill. Everyone in the family went nuts and loved the burgers. People lined up for seconds and thirds. I felt like I did Ron proud that day.
“What do I get if I win?”
“The rarest jewel of all, victory over me, Ron Swanson.”
1:10 Andy's face kills every single time
Yet again, we see Andy has the literal intellect level and outlook of a golden retriever.
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 burgers once, but I fear the man who has practiced one burger 10,000 times."
I haven’t watched the show, I actually recognized Ron from
“The Founder” a movie telling the story how McDonald’s was founded and he played as one of the owners of the original restaurant before McDonald’s became a franchise so no wonder he won.
As a vegetarian, this scene is amazing. Veggie burgers always challenge you to get creative with how you flavor them, which can result in some amazing burgers. But there is absolutely no arguing the wonderful flavor of even just plain beef.
The beef isn't doing any artery clogging either here, the grains and plant oils probably contribute way more to cvd.
@@tylerwmbassBingo!
"This is better"
The feel of defeat yet acceptance is impressive
"Ron, I'm so disappointed, I thought that you and I would have a real challenge" - Ron, to himself : "So did I"
The way he went "This is better" immediately after tasting the burger was really funny
Fastest admission of defeat on TV history
I'm just now noticing the elaborate way Andy eats every bit of the burger, scarfs the last bits like a baby bird, and then camera cut back and he's got another hamburger. I like to think he grabbed another one in that split second.
Chris’ Turkey burger was the only time he was eating something that sounded pretty good.
Man. The fact that it's a simple hamburger, makes me think of the county fair I went to as a kid, even their simple hamburgers were so satisfying, and had such a deep and rich flavor to them.
2:01 Andy's face when he hears Donna has a sharp palate
Kyle: “I love the Umami flavor.”
Jerry: “Stop being so pretentious Kyle.”
Ron's definition of a turkey burger is something I'd like to see happen
"Did you get his number?"
"No."
"Good girl."
Bill and Frank
Funny thing is a recent study showed that red meat doesn't cause these negative effects and thats it's rather a byproduct of not eating enough vegetables
If food wars has taught me anything, the first guy to serve his dish always loses.
"Turkey can never beat cow" words I live by when grilling.
When she said "that's my husband" I got a little aroused 🤣🤣🤣
2:53 I mimmick his expression and the way he gestures with the burger whenever I try a new food
Can we just take a moment to respect how quickly Andy devours that burger? XD
Turkey is incredibly healthy for high protein content and naturally grows from large birds. It's also dry and mostly tasteless due to the lack of fat. The moment someone invented a way to farm chicken efficiently, turkey went on the forgotten lists of meat that only comes out for traditions like Thanksgiving and Christmas, still demanding large amounts of basting, stuffing and sauces to make palatable. Red meat goes even futhur, having even more fat in it's minced form which produce soft juicy burgers.
I eat turkey at least once a week.
the "thats my husband" line was hilarious
Even Jerry bullies poor Kyle LMAO
I know one thing that can conquer Ron’s burger. A hamburger made with Bison.
Try bear
@@herambhasabnis6949 Emu anus
he didnt even hesitate or swallow, immediate american approval
I freaking love Chris in this show, just fantastic characterization. Same with Ron but that's more just the actor in real life hahah
Parks and Rec is great because even when the characters, who are complete opposites, have conflict you still love them all like family.
And they love each other! So much this
2:07 my favorite Jerry moment
Hands down my favourite clip of television of all time. This is gold.
Andy (well, Chris P) legendarily finishes his hamburger at 2:49 (by discretely throwing some away) ...... but the crew didn't have enough footage of Chris just standing around at 2:52 so they had to put shots of him with the burger back in.
Gosh how I wish they discussed this more and had Andy devour a burger in about 2 whole seconds ahaha.
Rob Lowe is a much underrated actor/comedic actor. He was brilliant in "THE GRINDER".
0:49 this is why I like Chris. Literally gets nothing if he wins
I come back to this video occasionally and just noticed something. 01:40 Chris serves everyone his Turkey burger and then Ron does the same with his beef burger. Andy never ate the turkey burger but does take a bite (many bites) of the beef burger and exclaims..."Oh my god, this is so much better".
Beef doesn’t clog arteries. Grains/sugars do though. Ron’s burger without the bun is healthier than Chris’s with the bun
And that is why the sun and the moon hold their own spaces, but they do work together here and there.
I think about the moment Ron serves a plain hamburger on a bun to win the cook-off almost daily.
Fair to say that Ron won because he had over 70 years of experience in the hamburger business.
1:48 Donna seems to be really attracted to Chris 😇
Everyone is. Lol. Even Leslie was taken in by his energy when they first met.
Chris set a good example of sportsmanship
