This is amazing. I've lost 42.5kg in 18 months through strict calorie control and as I get closer to switching to maintenance calories, this sort of content will help me re-normalize my eating habits and rediscover cooking for pleasure. Subscribed, please keep it up.
@K4 Josiah great job man, congrats and good luck.
Yay!
Congrats ! =)
Good job man! Keep it up.
Great going man!
A lot of people (including me) discovering this channel TODAY huh?
Blessed by YT algorithm
Me too. I watched a few of his videos before going to sub and seeing his count. I 100% thought he had to have at least a few million subs. Every aspect from the video quality, the presentation, the actual content about the food, giving links to skip to when the recipe starts, his overall happy attitude, everything is just done so well. This channel is gonna be huge.
Watch binging with babish
Today was 6 days ago, are you a time traveler?
I just discovered it today..
When the world needed him most, Ethan made us even more great smash burgers. The hero we all deserve
Sike ass, he copied my show
Not the one we deserve, but the one we need
Better than pattisons batman. Why can't Ethan be the new Batman?
Investigate 311
I know. I wish he had more likes on this video. he deserves it😌
Wow I just realized how underrated he is
agreed
This is the first video I've seen from Ethan, surprised he's only on 28k subs! From the quality of the video I guessed he was on a couple hundred thousand too
bruh tf hes only on 31k lol yeah thats mad
Love this idea for a series. Even if the fattier one tastes better, the fact that you could easily save 85 calories alone with the sauce replacement is a cool insight. Please please make some more of these, great idea.
Glad I found this channel! Keep it up man, your breakdowns of the nutritional facts are super insightful when comparing the differences!
You’re welcome ✊
Heh, didn't expect my RL and UA-cam recipe worlds to collide.
But I agree with Sizz here. Nutritional breakdowns are sorely lacking from a lot of otherwise great recipe vids on UA-cam. Great vid.
Didn't expect to see sizz here lmao
David Foster the most unlikely combo
Didn't expect u to be here
Thumbnail made me think this was a Binging With Babish episode
Same, crazy how people take other people complete style lol but whatever works right
This guy is totally ripping off Babish lol .. The camera angles and even the fonts are so Babish style
@@CPlover0725kyl what? Just because he does cooking vids on yt doesnt mean hes copying babish they just have the same style or maybe he was just inspired by him. Thats not a bad thing.
Well apparently this guy is not just "doing cooking videos on youtube" on this video lol .. Having the same style is the point my man.. Getting inspired is good.. and I agree with that.. but this guy should come up with his original style.. This channel has quality content and I just don't want this guy to end up being a Babish wannabe
Eloise I don't think he's copying tho..? the concept of the video is completely different from bwb's content (food from films recreation) . this camera angle is common for cooking channels, it's so people see what he's doing. the color grading is very far from bwb's more cooler and a bit unsaturated color grading. if you actually invested time into looking into his content then you'll know that he's far from a "bwb wanna be"
When I'm feeling naughty I'll sometimes use 9 grams of mayo. Such a thrill.
Thanks for the laugh.
Do you know what I love about these videos? Is it the amazing recipies, the entertaining delivery, the accessibility and attitude?
Nope. Those are great but what I love is the TIMESTAMPS IN THE DESCRIPTION. SO CONVENIENT.
Your channel is gonna blow up man I watch all the people you reference in your videos and it’s awesome how you apply all the stuff they’re doing but in your own way.
The tangy sauce seems much better than just mayo. Sounds like the ultimate burger would be a hybrid of the two ;)
yeah just swap the beef into the lower cal one
Sam the cooking guy duh
Dude, I am a regular homecook and this is the best cooking show I've seen since Alton Brown's original Good Eats. Phenomenal content, perfect for UA-cam. Wish I could subscribe 10x.
Great video. For those trying to cut calories more aggressively, then I’ve had success with lower calories buns, 96/4 beef, lite versions of condiments , and low/nonfat cheese. With all of that, you can eat a “cheat” burger with as little as 300 calories.
🙏🏼🔥❤️
Thank you!!
96/4 beef is not edible and i'm not sure how think that is worth consuming
This is some really high quality video. You notice that he loves doing this as he even puts the video into different segments! :) Greeting from Germany
Ethan, let me tell you we DO appreciate this kind of videos so so much. I'm making this at least twice a month and i've never been happier with a recipe. Thank you so much!
Absolute gem of a channel brother! I've been following you for a while and what I love about your channel is that you cook food that is interesting and delicious but also good for you. So many other cooks make healthy food, but it's usually bland or boring. This is such a nice relief from that so thanks man! Also, pickled onions are the best thing since sliced bread.
I made this hamburger today for me and my girlfriend, we absolutely loved it. I was a bit intimidated as I have never made a smash burger but your video guided me through it nicely!
Really fun style man! Awesome video

Guarantee this will be a 1M+ channel within the year. Deservedly so. So insightful, yet down to Earth and relatable... Never change Ethan. You are a legend. Your channel is actually what good YT is all about.
This channel is gonna explode one day. This is really high quality content
i hate the hydro flask tho
Davis Dze tf?😂
Just discovered your channel today and this is the type of content I ALWAYS hoped to see!!! I have seen UA-camrs make 'better' burgers and other restaurant meals but no one makes lower calorie/ healthier meals. So happy someone has finally started this!
In suggestions, Chinese food always seems to be either deep fried or full of sugar so healthier versions of this would be great!
chinese american* lol
@Kazami "Temulgeh" means that the deep fried or sugar-filled Chinese food that "Shiv" is referring to is a version of Chinese food that has been adapted to American tastes. It is not the same kind of food that you would actually find in China. Authentic Chinese food would probably not have as many deep fried dishes or sweet-and-savory dishes as can be seen in Chinese American food.
I assume you're referring to Chinese American food. Real Chinese food isn't as unhealthy as Chinese food in America and incorporates a variety of vegetables, fruits, poultry, and meat. American Chinese food is made for Americans and you'll be able to find healthier meals in authentic Chinese restaurants! I hope you'll still be able to enjoy Chinese cuisine without having to sacrifice the taste or flavor!
@@mickeykwa62 yep exactly! (but as an asian i prefer chinese american cuisine myself, now i'll go hide before my family disowns me)
@@Temulgeh Do you have any sources (book/website/youtube) for authentic Chinese food?
All I can find on youtube (e.g. Chef John from Taste) almost always involves frying and/or a lot of sugar. Which is still great once in a while but I can't cook it every day.
Ethan - I recently discovered your channel. The content and production quality are phenomenal. Hoping your channel takes off and continues to grow! Keep it up.
Welcome aboard, plenty more content coming!
This might be the most creative youtube food series I have ever found. Love it dude, hope you get a chance to continue this while on your European journey.
You are slowly becoming one of my favorite channels thank you for all you do
I'm glad you were upfront about the burger with more fat tasting better. I feel like so many people try to sell eating healthy as tasting better. But having a healthier option that tastes good is still great! I'm glad you did this!
I’ve been watching Kenji for about a year now and absolutely love his content. Especially as of late. I recently discovered your channel, and I’m glad I now have another person that I can rely on for some easy to digest, thought provoking content as far as cooking goes. Keep it up. The work will pay off if you keep pumping out content like you have. Thanks! 😁
Watched your channel since your first videos, love how far you've progressed man. These food keeping me drooling.
I’m glad I found out this channel! Love this series so much. Super useful! Thank you for the hard work ❤️
I’ve literally had 5 of these in the past week. I also adjusted to get it to 400 cals. Thank you!
UA-cam algorithm is doing it's thing again. Great video, good production value, straight to the point. This channel is about to get big.
Yep, I'm one of the many people who just found your channel. And I'm already making the improved Adam fries right now for lunch. Thanks for helping us at home foodies out, man.
I was just thinking about making smash burgers (never had it before) and then this. I guess it’s settled.
I’ve worked at smashburger before. Honestly the prices are pretty high, and extra items to put into the burger is a dollar or more. The lowest price for a burger is about 5 dollars and the highest is 10. In my personal recommendation is you could always fine a better option but burgers are good but worth it for the prices ? I don’t think so
My god. I just love it when I see this level of quality content on youtube -or anywhere for that matter. No mainstream "OMG this burger is 10 TIMES TASTIER than the original" bullshit. Just honest, human and all the rest goodies. Subscribed!
I do love his approach and his honesty.
U gotta make this into a series. The idea is genius and a lot of people are going to appreciate this content, me included!
Just prepped this marvel of a burger - did not even heat the buns using any grease, rather just sheer buns on a non-stick pan and voila! Superlicious!!
Your "Cast iron" Amazon link takes you to the saucepan, and the "Saucepan" link takes you to the baking sheet. Every other link works fine.
He is like scientist and i started make my own breads. I always cook my own meal from other youtube channels but when i found you bro i forgot the others you are like amazing... underrated very underrated so much underrated best besttt
Hey man I just saw you through my recommendation, glad to see you're starting out well as a home cook chef
I don't usually subscribe to cooking channels but you are massively underrated and deserve all the attention you can get! Keep up the good work Ethan!
LOVE this idea for a series Ethan - looking forward to more! - from, a new subscriber
Need more of these lower calorie recipes!
Hey Ethan,
your videos popped out in my recommendations and I LOVE it.
Keep it going sir, I know you are going to be big.
CHEERS
Wonderful content. Love to see a man who knows what he’s talking about, working with passion, and making good content.
Great job with the videos. Very impressed with how well structured and instructional your videos are. Thank you for the useful content! Keep it up
Thought this was binging with babish from the thumbnail, pleasantly surprised at the content
Can’t believe I only discovered this channel today. I’m a big fan of burgers but really looking at calories and macros these days and this version and the tips you provided made my day. I’m gonna go ahead and make this this weekend and I’m so excited !!!
I just discovered your channel and I just want to say I appreciate everything you do and thank you.
Christ my jaw hit the floor when I saw you barely pull over a couple thousand views on each video and only have 25k subs... I first found your channel when I saw the knife sharpening video and I have to say the production quality on this stuff is top tier! I hope that sometime soon you get the recognition you deserve for these vids.
P.s. You're the second person I've seen who successfully rocks the mustache with the first being Ron Swanson/ Nick Offerman. Congratulations on entering these hallowed halls.
I was here. See you in a few hundred thousand subs. Cheers!
The quality of these videos and your output of them deserves so much more subs and views. Hope you go far man, you just earned another sub, and them burgers looking 👌💯
Love it- just started watching your videos, but what really makes me enjoy yours vs many others is that you satisfy my nerdy curiosity and offer a reason for what you do as opposed to just stating substitutions. I've often used mayo instead of butter for toasting buns, but I never realized why it works just as well (better).
If you read these just wanted to say I'm a big fan and now watch everything you make. Looking forward to recreating your recent poblano taco recipe
Just discovered this channel love it. I hope u grow more
Much appreciated, feels like it's just getting started!
@@EthanChlebowski Definitely! I just found your channel as well. With this high quality content, it would not be surprising to have a million sub at the end of this year. Keep up the good work!
Fold a little msg into your beef and you will get a lot of that beefiness back without adding calories.
People are way too afraid of MSG, even though it already occurs naturally in a lot of foods they eat.
thanks youtube recommendations, loved the idea, the video and the ad break that is often just put in the middle of a sentence, hope your channel grows fast
Awesome channel concept. Especially love the science-y approach!
Do more of these. We’re trying to healthy my guy
Another note for toasting the buns-you can actually toast them dry under the oven broiler which cuts out the calories from the mayo when browning them on the griddle. It actually gives you a more even toast than you get on the griddle, too.
Those calories from the Mayo are fine to have tbh. That extra fat keeps you satiated longer. The idea is to cut smart, not cut hard.
@@smellypatel5272 Still. If you want fewer calories no reason to keep it on. I never understood people who toast things with fat, I just pop my buns in the toaster not to long so they are hot and slightly firm.
Of course you can just 'toast' them like you would a slice of bread, but it really isn't the same. I think if you're going to have a burger then you ought to toast it in the pan / on the skillet. Burger buns also don't usually fare too well under a grill and can easily go dry and flaky. Personally, I think this is a step too far. You don't want to take all of the fun out of the meal or there's just no point.
Your videos are amazing, I instantly subbed when I saw your focaccia video and I’ve been enjoying all your videos since. You’re gonna reach a million soon
Really nice :) I made a similar burger for myself aiming to make a low cal burger.
95% lean mince - 250g (328 kcal)
1 brioche bun (155 kcal)
2 reduced fat cheese slices (total of 68 cals)
For the sauce I used ‘lighter than light Mayo’ (9 kcal per tbsp)
And some low carb bbq sauce (same as mayo).
And then just added some lettuce and red onion.
For the meat I seasoned with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and a bit of cumin.
Total rounds in at a low 586Kcal (30g carbs, 22g fat, 65.4 protein)
Thank you instagram for getting me here
In future vids can you show a side by side breakdown on the nutritional facts to make comparison easier?
I think I just found another favorite cooking channel! Thanks Ethan!
Man these uploads! Keep em coming man
Maybe you could “cheat” by using MSG with the lower calories version 🤔
yeag man
This is what I have been waiting for!!
hey man, just found your channel and your simplistic style focused on food instead of the person is the style I prefer and making low calorie versions of the common cheat meals, i think is a very cool concept. I saw that you also make your own versions of other popular recipes around the web and i beleive giving it a low calorie twist would be the way to go. Keep up the good work!
Hey man, just found your channel and wanted to say it's fantastic. You have a great vibe, easy to follow recipes and image quality, cinematography and editing are all on point! Looking forward to seeing this channel grow quickly.
Also, please keep calling out Adam Ragusea. That guy gives so much bad advice that its not funny. 😁
Kinda skipped around. What'd he say about adam?
@@Attyraxia Basically called out a couple recipes and claims that Adam made. The ones on deep frying and oven baked fries.
@@jokerproduction He didn't "call out" anything, he made some improvements to a recipe that he admitted was good from the start. Stop trying to start drama.
he also wrote in the description of the video that he wasn't trying to start beef, he was trying to give his opinion on deep frying as a more experienced home chef. adam even admitted that he dislikes that video because he doesn't usually hold super strong opinions on food stuff. they were pretty civil about the whole thing
Imma keep it real with you chief, and I say this with love, but having tuned in and out of your channel throughout the past few weeks, I felt that your channel was lacking something. Until this point, your videos felt very familiar ... almost like I've seen them done by Babish, Kenji, and Weissman many times before, and unfortunately pulled off better by them.
However, this low cal series has really taken your channel in a complete 180, IMO! I really think you have something with this series. It's personal, I can tell you're passionate about it, and most importantly -- it's unique to you! Whereas I felt like you were mostly repeating the words of other trusted creators in many of your past vids, you're now the source of authority in this series. People will soon be citing your videos in their content.
Anyway, just wanted to say, great job! Wild improvement. Keep up the good work :)
What a great transformation bro. Great content!
Wow. Another great video under your belt! Love your content. Focaccia, baguettes, tacos etc. I follow step by step, and it all comes out excellent. I’m trying out these burgers next. Thank you Ethan!
".. first we'll make the dirty filthy delicious restaurant version.."
oh thank god i'm in buddy take me there
Me: mom can we have binging with babish thumbnail
Mom: we have binging with babish thumbnail at home
At home:
Thought it was a Babby video and clicked on it, seems like that's why its blowing up...
Just got this recommended to me. Also just subbed! Great channel keep up the good work.
So glad I found this channel!! My man and I started our weight loss journey recently. We love cooking, but have had some trouble finding low cal *delicious* recipes. New subscriber here!
Anyone notice the thumbnails identical to binging with banish... when I didn’t hear that sweet sultry voice I was heartbroken
Pro tip: add fish sauce in the low calorie version for U M A M I
You deserve so many more subs and views, such a clean and straightforward channel
Great series man! Subscribed
Hey Ethan, just a quick suggestion to change the "I Improved" series to something more like "I added to" or even better "I adapted" because I think a change in language could come off a bit more positive rather than improvement which could make the original sound a bit inferior.
Most of the changes you make are due to increased experience by making something slightly more complex while keeping the spirit of the original and I really like it but I could understand some might be standoffish from the title.
No comedian wants to be introduced as the greatest ever because then they have something to prove, I think Seinfeld said that.
Looks good Freddie Mercury. Two thumbs up.
Great video. Love the tips! Definitely going to have to make this one soon. 🤤
New to your channel and have to say that I love this series. This is definitely original and gives great instruction versus simply making an artistic-forward video.
You got a good mix of positives from other good cooking shows while maintaining a level of individualism. Keep it up!
This is great, I’m always looking for tips like this, thank you.
You, Babish, and Joshua are the holy trinity of UA-cam cooks. Proud of y'all for what you have achieved
Thanks for adding your before photo and statement on not telling people how to eat, that puts us at ease and makes you more relatable and engaging. Keep it up
Ethan I really respect and enjoy your style of video and information sharing. You're a great part of this website.
Love Ethan’s videos! So thorough!
This series is fantastic!!!
LOVE that you kept the brioche bun. And love that you're an RP fan! Awesome.
Ethan I just want to say, youre going to hit it big. Your production value is amazing and your camera work and editing is stunning. Keep up the good work! You'll reach 100K subs in no time :)
Thanks for the series it's been helpful
great video! deserves a lot more recognition
I love your work! I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into it. ❤
Great work man!! Keep it up
Dude I'm so glad I found you! You deserve to have like way more subscribers ❤️
Man, you are definitely putting work into your videos and website! Thanks for the recipe Ethan.
Great content. You're definitely something special in the ocean of online cooks. You provide detailed information about specific food and alternatives to ensure that you're not showing us how YOU cook but how IT IS cooked. If it makes sense.
Man your production quality is sick. Keep up the good work and content like lower calorie versions of dishes.
