we want to make it easier to eat, that is why we choose a 6.5 oz patty. Let me add a bunch of slippery avocado and tomato to the bottom to completely negate what I just said.
I took him saying easier into context of finishing. Because I know sometimes I try to finish a big burger it's hard for me because I'm stuff. That's just my thoughts.
I will never get the urge to avocado to everything. In guac - great since it's the base for the other ingredients. Other than that it just annoys me that so many great sandwiches and burgers have it. It's almost tasteless. In that sauce he made e.g. he already had mayo. Why did he need the avocado for creaminess?
@patriciagurwitz509 I would agree if deconstructing a burger was acceptable but burgers are intended to be the regular person's meal. You're not meant to eat it with a knife and fork. I agree that it looks delicious but you can't eat it with one hand.
And who are you to determine what is correct and incorrect? The burger council? LMAO bro you can’t afford a luxurious burger like this, and that’s fine, you don’t have to, just sit down and enjoy your McDonald’s.
Your best bite is the first one then it goes down. Eventually you will feel full and not enjoy the food. That's why fancy places have really small portions. So you finish craving for more and that's how you remember it.
Odd segment this one. Buddy on the mandolin making fries with just a glove and no protector is wild. The sear, oven, sear for a 6.5oz patty is odd. The stack of the burger with the avo and tomato under the patty is odd. Also how does the chef expect people to "feel at home" when they are at a fancy department store restaurant eating a $34 dollar burger?! Chef is out of touch.
Yet another case of "taller than it is wide", a plague on the restaurant burger world for as long as I can remember. Fancy restaurant chefs, please repeat this 3 times before every service - "Burgers should be wider than they are all". Thank you.
Actually the cheese which you asked if it was made in house or no, which as they mentioned they make everything in house - all the ingredients, you would think the cheese would also be made in house.. but even if they do or do not make the cheese that they use on the burger, which if made in house would prove his point that everything was made in house and at the same time answer your question but funnily enough the type of cheese that they used for this burger can be sourced from outside or made in house depending on various circumstances.. now having said that i am no cheese expert let alone cheese made in house expert so hopefully this answers your question
That meat does look good. I wonder how it would taste on it's own without all the toppings maybe just salt a little bit of grounded black pepper. Appears to be a well run kitchen.
Can't get behind burgers built like this. Looks delicious, but it's way too tall and the bun looked super greasy. $50 for a burger and fries is also pretty aggressive.
It is very impressive and def worth doing, but really not much of a hat trick for a restaurant of that calibre. Any place that charges more than $15 per burger should be making potato or brioche buns in house. It's not something I'm bothered to do more than a couple of times a year; but making your own at home is definately worth doing as the ones I make taste a lot better than anything you could find at a bakery. It's not easy, but it's not super hard either; just takes a solid recipe, practice and an eye for what is correct, which will come with practice.
oh yeah for sure like the yeast thing is such a big deal because without it how would the buns even rise but then you start thinking about rising like what does it mean for something to rise anyway like is it just about getting bigger or is it about potential like maybe the dough already had the potential in it and yeast is just the thing that reminds it to grow and if she didn’t show the yeast maybe it’s because yeast doesn’t like to be seen you know like how shadows only exist because there’s light and you can’t really separate one from the other so maybe the yeast was there the whole time even if it wasn’t added directly because yeast is basically like a metaphor for life right always working quietly in the background like gravity or dreams and who’s to say the potatoes themselves didn’t have some kind of memory of yeast from the earth where they grew and that’s why the buns rose like the earth itself is the yeast and that’s kind of the beauty of it when you think about it

*NO! Every cheeseburger deserves bacon!* .The smokiness of the pork is a great contrast. A bit of grilled onion is good too. But you can miss me with all those sauces & veggies.
meat patty looks good, for once one can get a medium rare burger, French fries seems proper ones, however does not make sense to mix so many flavours with avocado, mayo...I wonder how one can properly eat this burger (tomato as a base so slippery)
Once you start getting pretentious about a burger is when you should stop trying to make a burger. I can change your perspective on life with a burger I can throw together in ten minutes with $6 worth of ingredients from Aldi's.
Looks nice. But how the hell are you supposed to eat it? Way too big for my preference (which is eating a burger by hand, rather than with a knife and fork).
Chef(s) 1 word for this burger " PERFECTION" I would eat this burger if you were selling it on the street from a food cart or out of a food truck. Would love to see you fry your fries in duck fat & my fave cheese is swiss gruyere.
Am I the only one triggered that Vittoria is actually wearing a ring when cooking in a professional kitchen, don't you get yelled at other places for doing that...
WHY NO CROSS SECTION ! ? I waited till end !! burger amazing video not so !! can you all start t a kick starter for me to go to this place please!!. my life will not be complete otherwise.
What a joke. Its such a restaurant thing to put a burger into the oven. Thats why u dont order a burger at a restaurant, they overwork, overthink and overcharge.
Thanks for exposing yourself clown, whether it’s a steak, a chop, chicken or a burger, professionals finish our meats in the oven to control the temperature then let them rest… bye hon 😂
As a Chef and a student of Nutrition, we severely overindulge. An 80/20 burger, two slices of cheese, avocado and mayonnaise, a potato bun with a side of potatoes. I’m saying forget about the health aspect of that, but that much fat and starch is not a pleasurable eating experience, in my opinion. We can do a lot better as chefs than to lean on fat and starch and call it fine dining.
That's not Chefs at all, honestly they're only making much money as possible, how does that meat taste good? opened up in the fridge so it "gets drier and cooks faster" i don't wanna eat a tall massive piece of dry (mostly) unsalted meat that has gone through 3 kinds of heat, basically burnt, that "homemade mayo", she manipulating food with a ring on it, in Brazil you would get you restaurant a fine by the hygiene control

Any burger you can't fit in your mouth without crushing it is done incorrectly. A tower burger is for aesthetics, not enjoyment.
Don’t get so concerned about the details, most of us would definitely enjoy eating that burger🤣🥴👍🏼

Totally agree!
Also, in terms of texture, the whole thing seems a bit mushy to me with that thick layer of avocado...

Ahh but the Jackson Hole diner would like to disagree with you. Fat juicy burgers, (cooked medium). High on umami.

“Other places offer an 8oz burger but we offer 6.5oz so the customer enjoys it more” is this something i’m too poor to understand?
Probably alluding to the higher quality beef that's used in the smaller burger.
@@Cryotydeyeah yeah that’s right?
I'm on the same page as this guy maybe just half the book and probably a different language.
I think he's trying to imply that customers will get full before finishing an 8oz burger that's why they do 6.5 so they enjoy the entire burger.
Your best bite is the first one then it goes down. Eventually you will feel full and not enjoy the food. That's why fancy places have really small portions. So you finish craving for more and that's how you remember it.
This is the first Eater video that makes me NOT want to go to a place.
If Eater takes this down, we will agree to pretend it never happened. Nadir of the channel.

It looks like it was made by sponge Bob square pants.
That looks so delicious!!!
Do they grow the vegetables? Slaughter the cow in-house? Make their own plates? Generate their own electricity? 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
The cattle graze on the ninth floor. Grass fed and grain finished. Liked the potato bun.
not that hot of a take but this is hands down the best burger in the city. And the homemade burger buns. Nobody does this anymore. Fab

Check the glove hiding under the latex glove. His hand is protected, thankfully.
But did they make the cheese in house?

What would George Motz think?
He geeks out and respects any burger so he'd prob be all for it tbh
it looks like a very hard burger to eat so I think he might not be in favor of it
He’s gonna think Hamburger America is the best in the city
His burgers are smashed, and with so much "extra" stuff on it, you can't really taste it. I was not impressed.
@@ter1413 George burgers offers bare miniimum of toppings. Not sure what "extra" stuff youre talkin about

anyone knows how much they charging for that burger?

$34 for the burger. $12 for the fries.
It was $27 or 28 back in 2021. I don’t know how much it is now, but it’s probably more. Doesn’t come with fries though
$46 for the fries and burger without a drink, tip, or tax so for two people, you're looking at an easy $150

Gruyère's a great cheese, but original gruyère isn't very sliceable.
Its possible.. I bought a lot of them sliced in Switzerland directly. The Real Deal is the best. But this Burger is a mess
Real Gruyere from Swiss is totally sliceable.
