This burger fed my family and I for about 4 days...It's that big. And that was just one half of it. The second half went to my wife's work. We did not have the guts to finish it.
@@funnyhaha7340 This is Chef PK we're talking about... I'm never entirely sure he's only joking when it comes to food from shows and games... Also he actually did make his own recreation on his channel before. It was huge enough to probably feed a small family (2-4 people) for a few days...
Andrew: Guys I'm going on a vacation for a few weeks, thank you Alvin for keeping the show running, just don't do anything crazy. Alvin: GIANT BURGUER IT IS
That was the reaction of someone who has put out entirely too many kitchen fires. I should know. My mother burned a house down and had to call in fire insurance two more times.
The most mind blowing part of this entire episode has to be the fact that Alvin cooked those giant patties to a proper medium rare without breaking a single one.
@@articusramos808 you are very right. Additionally, heat makes changes in the structure of protein, the structural change involves a ‘coiling’ of the protein, reducing the molecules overall length. This produces considerable um...shrinkage.
i feel like evryone and their mother has all of a sudden gotten really into persona all across the internet. it super cool to see the game get its spotlight!
I've just finished P5R as my first Persona game after getting it on switch on release date. So I can finally look up everything about it on the internet and not worry about spoilers!
It is such a great game too. I love the way its like two games in one. When you're in the metaverse its just like any JRPG, but when you're back in the real world its kinda like a visual novel. The way its paced out between those two seems to work really well too, because it seems like just when I'm starting to get tired of one it's suddenly time to switch to the other.
"I'm gonna blur the lines between JRPG and anime" that is the perfect summation for the entirety of the Persona franchise, being both a game series and having a full anime for it
We don't talk about the Persona 5 anime. It's almost like the writing team of the Persona 4 anime (if they are the same) used up all their talent and had none left when it came to 5.
Love to see Alvin going back to his roots. It's been almost four years since his last giant burger. I wonder if Babish will milk this concept for three more videos like Tasty did ;-)
I hope you guys can take on Sojiro’s curry next! I compiled a recipe from several sources to try and make it myself, but I could still use any additional tips that this channel can provide
p5 has an anime and lots of anime cutscenes, you're fine. XD VERY well done! It was amazing to watch this happen and all the thought and care you put into it. Seconding the hope for Leblanc curry, especially since ATLUS put out a recipe!
What I like about Alvins videos and commentary is that he is always so thankful for the people around him and quick to give everyone praise. Really shows how great of a person he is.
Unfortunately that's the reality of buying meat. So far there's no other economic material to use. And just about all meat is vacuum packed and then repacked at stores. At least this way the meat is only vacuum sealed once and so it stays fresh for longer. Don't get me wrong, I wish there was a better option, but they can't exactly ship meat wrapped in paper.
plastic is only eco-unfriendly if disposed of 'improperly' its a shame no one bothers to recycle it properly, since its the most recyclable material and the one that uses the fewest resources to produce
@@jacksmith-vs4ct True, but that also didn't have a great shelf life for the customer, nor the ability for the store to easily have shelves of the stuff for customers to grab and go, rather than having to deal with a butcher for every single item.
Alvin once again demonstrates precise and quality cooking! This burger is so big that it will feed the whole crew and more than half will remain for later.
Am I the only one not surprised by the ease that Alvin had with building the big burger? He's practically done this his whole life with two other big burgers!
I think the one thing that I've learned from all of these Babish Culinary Universe videos is that Kendall is the real brains behind the operation. Kendall needs her own show.
this episode was great but I really have to say the longer Andrew is gone the more convinced I am becoming that he is researching the fully loaded infinity potatoe.
Though the thought of a burger that size puts me off I'm impressed. Alvin's skills are growing rapidly. I can see the conversation in the kitchen soon now that Andrew is back from his holiday: - Darth Alvin: "I've been waiting for you, Babish-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now, *I* am the master." Babish-Wan: "Only a master of anime food, Darth."
This is amazing. I’d probably think about adding burger sauce to each layer, not just the buns…. And kebab skewers would be most helpful for the slices. Burger kebab!!!!
I have to say, this is your best Anime With Alvin yet in concept, presentation and final outcome. I might be tempted to make a single-layer version of this for my family of 4 :P
So cool to get to see so many of the people that make the Babish Culinary Universe come to life. Love you all - you make great videos, and I keep coming back for more.
I like how everyone avoided the middle of the burger after knocking it down with the knife and taking the top and bottom. 😹 Also, Persona 5 does have an anime tie-in.
This really couldnt have come out at a better time ive been binging persona playthroughs recently and my brain has been dominated by mostly persona for quite a while now
Persona 5 did get an anime adaptation, so it counts. That said, if Yu had to eat a big meat bowl & Ren/Joker had to eat a big burger, what will the Persona 6 protagonist eat?
I'm going to take a wild guess and say Steak. With a capital 'S'. Like a "Half the Cow" cut of steak. Probably Wagyu since that seems to be the trendy thing these days.
Can you make any of these dishes from the Pokemon anime: Team Rocket's Spicy Dishes- Pallet Party Panic Jessie's Pokepuff- Performing with Fiery Charm Honey Banquet- Danger as Sweet as Honey Steenee Lunch- Real Life, Inquire Within Torchic Spongecake- Crowning the Chow Cruncher
My first reaction to seeing the thumbnail was a little bit of awe because of how thin each layer was... and I started thinking to myself about how that would allow more Char from the grilling in each bite of sandwich, etc... But this is not a close up of an incredibly thin Patty Burger. This is a family-sized sandwich. Holy cow.
I haven't caught a video of yours in months because they weren't showing up on my homepage, which sucks but is also cool cuz now I got something to binge for the next week!
This burger fed my family and I for about 4 days...It's that big. And that was just one half of it. The second half went to my wife's work. We did not have the guts to finish it.
How large was your family, if you don't mind me asking? i just want a better picture of how many people this burger could feed.
@@raptordoesyoutube107 it was a joke about the games stat system, guts is a stat and you need max guts to eat this burger

Alvin: GIANT BURGUER IT IS
Actually, its kinda tame considering what anime foods are available. Still looks delicious and I REALLY wish I could have had a taste of that burger.
Also, giant food is actually Alvin’s brand on Tasty, so it fits
The revenge of the Bubble Bass Burger
And the burger fire which he choose to not put out and just watch.
where is matt stonie
the timelapse of the burger patties shrinking is so fascinating.
Yeah, I seriously didn't think it'd shrink _that_ much.
It was the fire for me
Yeah, that time lapse of the burgers coming was great 👍
@@AineTaiki Yeah, I liked the fire
I see Alvin’s experience with being Tasty’s “Making It Big” chef came in handy here.
5:46 This is the most calm reaction to a fire I've ever seen
"This is fine."
That was the reaction of someone who has put out entirely too many kitchen fires. I should know. My mother burned a house down and had to call in fire insurance two more times.
I love how Kendall is the studio mom. Give that woman a reward.
I bet this episode took alot of guts to make, and by the end of it, im sure alvin was a little more proficient and kind (for some reason)
His burger understanding doubtlessly increased along with his courage for making this.
He gained kindness from eating together with the film crew, sharing is caring after all.
Caroline and Justine are impressed!
...but won't admit it.
You may even gain some Knowledge, though I'm not certain if anyone finds that Charming.
his proficiency definitely increased after doing all that burger stacking
Hey kid, you ate that burger. Impressive. Have this GUN!
Hot tip: use kabob skewers to hold it together when cutting.
A what skewer?
@@croftoc kabob skewer? Ever heard of those? Also bamboo skewers work really well
@@justafloridian7259 kebab*
We call them shashlik skewers here, they are perfect for oversized sandwiches lol (which I guess burgers are)
How is that tip hot? Doesn't seem to me that temperature plays a roll at all here.
The most mind blowing part of this entire episode has to be the fact that Alvin cooked those giant patties to a proper medium rare without breaking a single one.
5:58
Wow, this montage made me realize how much meat actually shrinks when cooking. That full change never crossed my mind.
A common thing from the oil and other things leaving the meat while it cooks. It's quiet a fascinating process.
maybe thats why i need like 40 kg of meat for one burger
Not to mention really satisfying to see
@@articusramos808 you are very right. Additionally, heat makes changes in the structure of protein, the structural change involves a ‘coiling’ of the protein, reducing the molecules overall length. This produces considerable um...shrinkage.
Much less if you use leaner beef. 80/20 renders out quite a bit. A 90/10 less so, but going leaner also requires a lower temp and more patience.
i feel like evryone and their mother has all of a sudden gotten really into persona all across the internet. it super cool to see the game get its spotlight!
To be fair the P5R has been ported to other platforms anyway since October 21 this year :O
@@vividclarities7860 that's fair. I mean we're about to get p3p AND p4g on modern platforms. Very much looking forward to it
@@syasabrasierra3405 I think p4g is already ported, pc wise, idk about other platforms

lets hope we get the Leblanc curry someday too
Don't forget the LeBlanc coffee. Can't have the curry without the coffee
Believe it or not, a canon recipe exists for it, too, thanks to the pre-release materials for Persona 5: Strikers.
@@MuttonTheDragon Yeah its just neat to see other peoples takes on it
Yea I was about to say, curry and coffee is more specific to the game.
ChefPK and Feast of Fiction both have videos on it, but I’d love to see Alvin’s take on it too!
A little overkill, but would've been great to toast both the bottom and top bun for *MAXIMUM STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY*
Size matters.
Hi Alvin
What knife with sakura you used?
So much respect for using the japanese audio for the intro
Remember: eating these all Summer long will make you charming enough for a girl like Makoto. It's science.
Also go to the bath house A LOT.

@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok :)
I was about to comment this 🤣🤣
He's just the best!!
That's a BIG AZS BURGER...I would try my best to eat that...Lol.
I mean, Persona 5 also has an Anime, so this checks out no problem!
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
Honestly, Persona 5 the game is totally anime. And you all know it.
He already did the Mega Beef Bowl from P4, but maybe because this didn't appear in the anime and that's why they had to play a clip from the game.
And, It's a game with animeish style anyway.
And Alvin already did Mega Beef Bowl from Persona 4.
So that's mean more anime game (or JRPG) episodes!
No one wants to remember P5: The Animation
Love Anime with Alvin, hope he has the opportunity to stay with the show if he wants to!
Butcher Box says, "So wait, you need how much ground beef? How many burgers are you making?"
Alvin replies, "Oh....you know...one."
Butcher box: You are either insane, trying to give someone several heart attacks in quick succession
or both either way I'm here for it
@@Drip_Vadernonono

I like how when alvin makes this type of food, it's like watching like a more relaxed epic meal time
I love how we've all collectively decided that Persona 5 is an interactive anime.
I mean, Persona 3 4 and 5 all have their own anime versions too...
Now we need the ramen from persona 3
And Steak Skewers from Persona 4
So quick that the thumbnail is still 3 dots on a Rounded Rectangle
Lol
Lol there ain’t even a thumbnail for me
Same lol
Do you mean 3 dots connect to rectangles?
It's blank for me
At this rate, the channel will be renamed as “Alvin Culinary Universe” with how often Alvin is featured
It's getting annoying already.. this channel turned to shiyt.
This burger is gonna give me guts and make me smarter
It might make you more charming too idk why🤔
@@2phonebabykeem913 Everyone is attracted to a person who can cram 12 pounds of hamburger into their mouth.

What I like about Alvins videos and commentary is that he is always so thankful for the people around him and quick to give everyone praise. Really shows how great of a person he is.
I love that butcher box uses the term "eco-friendly box" when every individual item inside is wrapped in eco-unfriendly plastic
Unfortunately that's the reality of buying meat. So far there's no other economic material to use. And just about all meat is vacuum packed and then repacked at stores.

"Anime With Alvin" series is so amazing! I hope it won't end anytime soon!
I love the character growth in Alvin saying "but that's okay" and just eyeballing ingredients for the burger sauce 😂
This feels like an Epic Meal Time video, with a lot less yelling.
I don't think Alvin is capable of yelling.
The cinematography on that patty was something else
"Food tastes better when you share it with other people" My favorite part of cooking
Alvin once again demonstrates precise and quality cooking! This burger is so big that it will feed the whole crew and more than half will remain for later.
Alvin has the most mesmerizing voice, what a wonderful video, keep it up!
I would love to see Alvin tackle Oden's Oden from One Piece! The soup has a ton of components, but looks awesome
Oden wouldn't be Oden if it wasn't...... BOILED!
Alvin gotta live up to the anime name and make more one piece recipes
@@TryingtoTeach101 😭
my recommended has blessed me with this
Just want to say: Alvin is freaking awesome and does an incredible job with these videos.
Am I the only one not surprised by the ease that Alvin had with building the big burger? He's practically done this his whole life with two other big burgers!
"Oh, Fire?" pretty much sums up my early years of cooking.
Andrew, I had no idea you had that many people working for the BCU. You've really built something incredible for yourself!
After the mega beef bowl, it was simply inevitable that we would get this monster.
it was the natural progression.
Everyone gathering around the camera to share, eat, and bring out other toppings for the burger was my favorite part
As much as I expected Sojiro’s curry for a Persona 5 episode this was quite the pleasant surprise.
Babish: *ᵗᶦⁿʸ ʰʷᶦˢᵏ*
Simon: *F O R K*
I think the one thing that I've learned from all of these Babish Culinary Universe videos is that Kendall is the real brains behind the operation. Kendall needs her own show.
Binging with Babish, cooking with Kendall and adulterating with Alvin
She has one, called the "Funda-Kendalls"
by far the best giant burger video on you tube. giant burgers normally get me excited then I'm disappointed
When I saw this title all I could say was.
"For Real?"
Looks like a healthier burger vs what epic meal time did. This looks way better by presentation.
this episode was great but I really have to say the longer Andrew is gone the more convinced I am becoming that he is researching the fully loaded infinity potatoe.
I appreciate the use of the japanese game voices since that's what I use
Though the thought of a burger that size puts me off I'm impressed. Alvin's skills are growing rapidly. I can see the conversation in the kitchen soon now that Andrew is back from his holiday: -

This was more wholesome than expected
Wow. Even Matt Stonie would probably struggle a bit with the Persona 5 burger! It's one I wouldn't mind sharing.
Disagree
I like how everyone avoided the middle of the burger after knocking it down with the knife and taking the top and bottom. 😹
Also, Persona 5 does have an anime tie-in.
I love how in almost every episode Alvin makes a point to say how much he likes sharing food with people
I really like Alvin's hosting. His humor and soothing voice are on par with Babbish.

HOLY MOLY, I GOT NO IDEA HOW JOKER EVEN FINISHES THAT AT ALL!
Especially considering he's not from the US, not used to big portions like that
Duuude, Alvin, where have you been. I'm an instant fan. Love the style
Okay so I love Alvin. I think he’s super cool. But I’m starting to miss just the old regular episodes with Andrew. Am I the only one?
Oh Persona 5
Andrew would be proud of that cross section.
Seeing the final product burger was oddly way more satisfying than I expected. Excellent work! Would love to see the bun recipe.
