Thank you for inspiring my 15 year old son. He made smash burgers for our family tonight, together with the sauce you made from Chick-Fil-A, & they were such a hit. Best burgers ever! Because I love to cook, he was the one who introduced me to your videos.
I mean it’s not a weird method it’s just like deep frying chicken. It’s not the method that’s weird, deep frying is normal, it’s just the meat, cause deep frying beef is kinda weird.
Chef Weissman, when you describe food, you make me think of Ratatouille, and the "symphonies", "pops", and "fireworks" descriptions, and combining those two now cements you in my mind as one of the worlds top "Food Appreciators".
Whenever I use your recipes, they always turn out amazing. Even if I mess up a step or two, it still comes out great. But when I try using other people's recipes, it just doesn't seem to work as well. You're like a culinary wizard or something! Keep those recipes coming!
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ i get that you're a bot but do the people creating these bots really think someone will read this and go "oh geez why did I never think about that!?😅 alright I'll repent."

Frybread, in South Africa we call it Vetkoek, (directly translated, fat cake). It's very popular and served with chicken mayo or savory mince (amongst many other variations). The burger idea is an interesting one, one difference, the Vetkoek is cooked beforehand and ingredients added afterwards.
During my childhood in Australia we were doing it tough and one of my favourite foods (that was very cheap) was "bread and dripping". Precooked bread fried in fat. I know it is depression food and I'm not that old ( 65 ) but it still tastes good. These days the bread is two slices with butter and cheese in between but the frying is still in dripping.
I cannot imagine how long it took to cook all of these, film and edit. Thank you for all the work to provide us with high quality content, props to you for committing so hard!

Your burger sauce recipe and buns really helped me improve the burger game around here, thank you. We already salted and peppered our tomatoes, that is a pro tip too.
I loved this because it reminded me of the old Bon Appetit videos where Amiel would cook different things in dozens of different ways. Reminds me of my culinary childhood. Thanks, Josh!! :)
@@koshishko28 I was trying to make a joke, like how you have the judges that are sweet, the ones that are salty and the one's that are firm but fair. Kendrick is the Simon Cowell of the group; while others would probably be more optimistic, he's hard to please.
I’m outraged at the review capabilities of your staff. It’s like giving caviar to a squirrel and the squirrel says, “it’s not bad, but do you have any nuts?” Outraged!
1. Use the same buns on every burger, and make the testers eat 28 burgers. 2. Watch your testers mark the two burgers that didn't use the same buns the highest - not for the burger, but for the bun.
I know this is late but I imagine these videos are made over the course of 2 months because I can't imagine making someone eat that many bites of a burger in one day or even in a week. People would get so tired of eating the burger that the taste would become gross not long after.
@@CubanPanda you think they're gonna spread the filming of a burger tasting video over the course of 2 months? that would be logistically insane and expensive compared to getting everything together and cooking all of them in the same day. this wasnt scientific, its entertainment, which has production constraints
I love how you were adamant about the 75/25 beef, absolutely no 80/20. When I was a kid I would have given my key arm for 80/20 because my parents always got 93/7. Essentially when i was in control of buying my own hamburer it felt like absolute luxury to be able to get 80/20. But now 75/25 intrigues me.
Even though it was a simpler version that only used ground beef I was very happy to see a frita cubana on here. I understand that for the challenge it was just hamburgers but fritas usually do have chorizo, pork, and beef. It really depends on what you have at home when you make it
I really like the specifying of specific kind of meat, bun, etc. As it keeps everything fair and balanced. Then if people would like to use an alternate bun or something like Chorizo patty, they have 30 methods to decide which they want to use. Props to pappa for sticking to the "method" being the key difference and allows all the trends and variations to be applied on their own.
You have 6.2 million here and you deserve it. Your voice is easy to listen to, you keep your videos moving, you keep us laughing, and your fun and smart. 😊
That is more than a few chefs (most) I could name but I think Uncle Roger has 8.8 million still second/third place is not bad. He does not have TV shows but I do think he has learned from Nigel that humor helps. One of the most under valued channel if Chef JP as well as Vincenzo's Plate. One is about teaching how to making good home food and the other is about Italian food with plenty of Uncle Roger type of silly reaction videos. Oh and James "many many years" Makinson, he explains why others react the way they so and sometimes tests recipes but only watch if you actually want to be chef.
trying googling burger recipes it takes 2 seconds and you'll be able to follow any way to make a burger lmao people are so stupid in this digital age it shows
@@marcamusprime9513 I switched to old spice because people kept bullying me because I used axe and it quote on quote "smells bad" but I still keep it in my room on my dresser if I ever need to use it
I've never once heard the rule on Jucy Lucies not allowing any other fixings. Not shocked it didn't perform well without some sauce. I also get the feeling that the Smash Burger would have done better if it were a double patty, the texture of a double patty double cheese Smash Burger is extremely hard to beat. That said, a Smoked Steakhouse Frybread burger... yeah I can understand why that's the holy trinity. I want to try that now.
For the patty melt I also recommend trying it on sourdough bread, and for the onions I recommend caramelized onions. In terms of sauce 1000 island or basil pesto are good options
Good Ol' Boondocks "The Luther" Burger...Fun fact, that's what I was eating when I went into labor with my 2nd child. Cravings were REAL. I took a whopper and krispy kremes. It was magical. As soon as I finished, my little man was on his way😂
@sonofjorel630 ha ha, right, and ol girl turned into a feen for the Luther. They were legit crack heads for it ☺️😆 definitely one of my favorites for sure.
We were literally watching this series on Bon Appétit channel on Friday night and my husband asked " is this Joshua Weissman?" And I said " no but it sounds like fun l him and he should do this series" wow, you read our minds! Keep up the good work! Love this!❤🎉
Wow Josh you finally did it - you made a video that I talked about to my bf in such a way that he replied with "send me the link". Then said we need to make burgers when we're together next. I consider this an extreme win. well done!
@@luppyfake6022 I have every reason to think he's going to sous vide it, too... he's an excellent sous vider (is that even a word? haha). I am very interested to see how this plays out when I visit him next week!
Just wanted to say that I got into cooking because of you and Babish. Burgers are among my favorite things to cook thanks to you (literally like 90% of my burger tricks come from your videos) that was incredibly helpful thank you so much
Babish's videos ain't great IMO. Following his recipes always leads to way too many dirty dishes. Every recipe I've made from him turned out worse than expected. Joshua is a real one tho
@@lolno2623 I believe that they dont like him making his thumbnails similar to babish, tricking people into thinking it’s a babish vid and getting more views off it
my dad, fan of making burgers and frequent watcher of your channel, willingly clicked on this video and got so mad at some of the methods you were making these burgers he got up and left. keep up the good work 😂
Angela is the type of friend you invite to every dinner party. Whatever you make they are going to say, "wow this is so great!" Kendrick... "it's okay"
I grew up with Vetkoek (fry bread) and I am 58. We have made it every way possible. The vetkoek burger, the vetkoek hotdog, you name it. But just fry it plain, fill with filling of choice (chicken mayo, curry mince, whih is the traditional South African thing to fill it with), or with jam or golden syrup. Make small finger food vetkoeks and fill with pastry cream and a drizzle of glazing. With Vetkoek in your repertoire you are never at a loss what to feed people.
Considering he did the Texas toast one with 2 patties I feel as though he should have done 2 patties for all of the smash burgers too because he himself said he does his smash burgers with 2 patties and all of their ratings were consistently lower due to not having enough meat and tasting too much like bread
Also it bugged me that at the end it still says the old tied second place burgers are in second place when now it should be the Luther burger lol like that was ranked second best and just fully got booted off the scoreboard as soon as it wasn’t first best
Top 5 best food videos in youtube, hands down. The amount of work going into making this video gotta be insane. Props to everyone, but especially the producer & editor.
I love how cooking tells its own unique story, just like in a good book or movie. It's wonderful how the journey from ingredients to the finished dish is an adventure in itself.
Patty Melt will always come out on top for me. Something about simply two things of toast, double patties and cheese is just enough to make anyone happy.
The effort this man and his team put in these videos is awesome. Josh you are my culinary role model. You are so dope for doing this video. Also I have a sweetspot for burgers. Best for to ever exist for me. Lol
I don't feel like Kendrick should be part of the jury, he gives weird notes to decent burgers while the other 2 are kinda appreciating the taste. Anyways I am pretty sure this video took a long time to shoot and edit and it was difficult to produce. Not to mention expensive due to all materials used. Congratulations!
Lovely! The fried bread - we call it vetkoek (fat cake). I prefer to use yeast. You can proof it longer or shorter or proof twice to get different results. I've tried the wrap before fry, but I prefer to add the patty after making the vetkoek. It's nice with savory, but butter, apricot jam and cheddar on a fresh, crispy vetkoek is hard to beat.
Joshua, the schnitzel is with the chicken breast. We do it with flour, eggs and bread crumbs, delicious. Not so much with red meat burger but if some people like it, why not? Fun video, thank you for sharing. So many ways to make a burger, that is genial!
Literally he voted lowest out of everyone on every burger, how is it 9 on the left, 2 in the middle from the guy who hates burgers, and a 10 on the end.
@@SlimyBonesJones doesnt matter. would you let someone who doesnt like well lets say hot dogs for example judge a competition for the best way to make hot dogs? Doesnt make sense
His scoring was consistent just like the other 2 so it didn’t really effect anything, also I feel like it made better content because if he scored high then it most likely was a damn good burger
Honestly sounds smart to me, bc if someone who hates burgers and they rate it super high or just high in general, it would be obvious which is the winner
@@bananeeek8376 I've done them either way, but the better result was to let them temper/refrigerate, Then unpack/dab the surface with a paper towel, then salt/pepper and sear. Treat it the same as you would sous vide a steak. Ensure correct hygiene practice and never exceed over 2 hours > weight to cook time does vary.
Okay I was watching this and was wondering if anyone else realized the frybread. Was not expecting it for a burger method but was super happy to see the good rating 🙌
The fry bread is actually also a very traditional and popular dish in South Africa coming from the Afrikaans culture and is called vetkoek here translated directly to fat cake. It is made exactly the same as in the video but is fried without any stuffing just the dough itself
I first time I saw the Luther burger was in the Boondocks animated series. I then found out it was also the origin of the burger. Grandad’s version was far more indulgent and when people ate it they would get a food coma prompting the restaurant to get beds instead of tables.
People worked a lot more than, we have become coddled by tech. It is a lot easier to eat a slightly burger when you do manual labor instead of sit on a chair and type all day. When I get out I do 15000 to 20000 steps a days not 500.
And I'm sure all of your steps are uphill in the rain, too. You aren't worse than cubicle office workers for doing manual labor, but you aren't better than them either. Your weird elitism aside, having worked construction for a few summers you're absolutely right about being ready to tear through a massive lunch after spending all day hauling things to the dumpster during demo.
Hello, thank you for the video! I would have liked to see the judges try the ultimate burger to see how they'd rate it. I would also have liked their reasoning for their ratings, especially Kendrick, who seemed to have low ratings for a lot of them. I wonder if the judges eating burger after burger affected the ratings at all? Kendrick with his "everyone is so creative" got me laughing so bad I choked. Good work everyone!
I feel like maybe he likes his burgers a little more or less well-done than the average person. Kind of how I love my chicken breast and salmon to be just barely cooked enough to be safe but still very juicy, whereas my spouse wants hers cooked until it's what I'd consider "dry"
Butter burgers (Culvers) are from WI, which is where much of the dairy production is in the midwest. The first Culvers restaurant is 20 minutes from my house.
if he had made it a double like it is suposed to be it wouldve been 2 10s and whatever ole boy in the middle is feeling at that moment which is probably a 3 or somthing. Legit that dude should not be judging burgers.
The fry burger reminds me of one of my favorite foods ever, from Trinidad & Tobago (super popular as a beach food ): shark and bake! Basically, instead of a burger patty inside its fried shark (its called bake bc the "bun" is called fried bake). It is incredibly delicious.
I've been watching your videos since the sourdough starter ones which got me into cooking youtube (haven't made any though ahaha) and I must say, what an amazing journey of growth you've been on, amazing work.
In regards to the Fry Bread Burger, Out here (Navajo Nation & probably most other Reservations) we form the dough like a tortilla, and fry it like that. We fold it over, and it's really good with green chile. Ideally Hatch Chile since we're in the southwest, but regular Anaheim peppers are good too. I personally like it with lettuce, and tomato, because I think the sweetness compliments to the sweetness of the chile, but a lot of folks eat it with just the meat, cheese, and chile. Our communities have flea markets with food vendors, and it's really good to get everything fresh, and straight off the grill.
Great episode. I take exception to your patty melt. I grew up in Southern California, and there a patty melt is made with a generous helping of caramelized onion and served on grilled (for the melt part) rye bread. I sure would like to try the smoked steakhouse frybread burger.
I grew up in New England and I'm also used your type of patty melt. Yes to the swiss, but I need that caramelized onion and rye. My secret though is to combine it with the au jus from a french dip.
I'm glad you teamed up with Uncle Roger so I could find out about your channel. It's pretty entertaining. I like the energy and jokes. What about a burger Wellington? Gordon Ramsay might hate you, but he'll get over it.
Josh, the luther burger is believed to be created by or for Luther Vandross a singer, songwriter and record producer. It got popularized when it appeared on "The Boondocks" back in 2006, a little less then a year after Luther's passing. There is another claim that it came from a bar in Decatur, Georgia
@@Danope6200 tbh the moment he switched from the methods section to the classics the fairness is already gone, the judges are now rating different variations of burgers instead of methods
@@mynameisjeff484 not to mention pretty much everything after that point that wasn’t specifically not a smash burger was basically a smash burger. It’s hard to beat the smash burger if you get the meat ratio right. Which again is probably why every burger after it that didn’t specify to do it some way other than a smash burger was pretty much a smash burger.
@@TheNamelessTed idk about that. The burger that made MacDonalds a cultural icon was a single 1/10 lb patty on a bun with toppings. If you were really hungry you'd get three or four. People are just getting more decadent over time.
Josh! Love your videos, bro. I'm learning so much. Just wanted to thank you. Also, I always season my tomatoes now and people make fun of me until they eat my food! I think the good word is spreading!
11:24 “I think Kendrick doesn’t really like burgers” I thought: then *WHY THE FUCK* was he a judge?! But then I remembered that a great chef wins their customers even against the odds Nice 👌🏼
Having a guy who doesn't like burgers and is impartial helps even out the scores. If all three outright liked burgers but each had their own bias the scores may not be reflective of a general population
He was mainly included so the editor could zoom in on his face for the first bite of each burger. People love to see a big guy taking a big bite, it's crack for the algorithm.
egg? ok beetroot? ummmmm ok? but pineapple? uuuhhhhhh really? idk i havent even tried pineapple on pizza or even just pineapples by themselves but ....

I know this is late but I imagine these videos are made over the course of 2 months because I can't imagine making someone eat that many bites of a burger in one day or even in a week. People would get so tired of eating the burger that the taste would become gross not long after.
@@CubanPanda you think they're gonna spread the filming of a burger tasting video over the course of 2 months? that would be logistically insane and expensive compared to getting everything together and cooking all of them in the same day. this wasnt scientific, its entertainment, which has production constraints
I love how you were adamant about the 75/25 beef, absolutely no 80/20. When I was a kid I would have given my key arm for 80/20 because my parents always got 93/7. Essentially when i was in control of buying my own hamburer it felt like absolute luxury to be able to get 80/20. But now 75/25 intrigues me.
Even though it was a simpler version that only used ground beef I was very happy to see a frita cubana on here. I understand that for the challenge it was just hamburgers but fritas usually do have chorizo, pork, and beef. It really depends on what you have at home when you make it
Sounds amazing
Chorizo works well when mixing meats. I but all my meat bulk and not in sheaths.
Middle guy should NOT be judging burgers
Exactly guy is a moron
Ikr
He looks like he has a lot of experience
Is it cause he's BLA-
@@Literally_Sae it’s because he’s a moron
I really like the specifying of specific kind of meat, bun, etc. As it keeps everything fair and balanced. Then if people would like to use an alternate bun or something like Chorizo patty, they have 30 methods to decide which they want to use. Props to pappa for sticking to the "method" being the key difference and allows all the trends and variations to be applied on their own.
You have 6.2 million here and you deserve it. Your voice is easy to listen to, you keep your videos moving, you keep us laughing, and your fun and smart. 😊
That is more than a few chefs (most) I could name but I think Uncle Roger has 8.8 million still second/third place is not bad. He does not have TV shows but I do think he has learned from Nigel that humor helps.
One of the most under valued channel if Chef JP as well as Vincenzo's Plate. One is about teaching how to making good home food and the other is about Italian food with plenty of Uncle Roger type of silly reaction videos. Oh and James "many many years" Makinson, he explains why others react the way they so and sometimes tests recipes but only watch if you actually want to be chef.
@@toriless uncle rodger is not a chef
I love how he gives instructions on each burger, like most of those we would ever actually try to make 😅

He kinda did as there was no double double

This video was EXTREMELY disappointing - they forgot to judge the megaburger.
This is totally my new fave cooking show, up there with diners, drive ins, and dives. I respect a good burger, but now I'm hungry 😂
I appreciate the long hours it took to do this episode. Alot of thought and heart went into this one
I've never once heard the rule on Jucy Lucies not allowing any other fixings. Not shocked it didn't perform well without some sauce. I also get the feeling that the Smash Burger would have done better if it were a double patty, the texture of a double patty double cheese Smash Burger is extremely hard to beat.
That said, a Smoked Steakhouse Frybread burger... yeah I can understand why that's the holy trinity. I want to try that now.
agreed 100% about the double patty, single patty on a smash burger doesnt seem right to me
It's just plain stupid that the smash burgers weren't double.
Jucy lucy should have had more cheese inside the patty, a slice on top and sauce.
For the patty melt I also recommend trying it on sourdough bread, and for the onions I recommend caramelized onions. In terms of sauce 1000 island or basil pesto are good options
100% agree that is a true patty melt i do mine with swiss
I use rye bread for my patty melts, but otherwise I'm with you on the onions
@@ELPECEE Exactly. Patty melt is rye, period.
A patty melt is rye bread and caramelized onions. This isn't even a debate. It's like saying a Reuben is supposed to be on challah or some nonsense.
Not always including your "non traditional ingredients for this" is gonna make it something revolutionary or better, simplicity is key sometimes!
I'm happy that frying patties inside the bread is happening more, it's what I do at home! 🙂
20:07 the Luther came from the animated series The Boondocks, if you haven't seen it I highly recommend it!
Good Ol' Boondocks "The Luther" Burger...Fun fact, that's what I was eating when I went into labor with my 2nd child. Cravings were REAL. I took a whopper and krispy kremes. It was magical. As soon as I finished, my little man was on his way😂
Do you remember when the homeless people we fighting over the Luther burger outside the restaurant? One of the best Boondocks episodes EVER!
@sonofjorel630 ha ha, right, and ol girl turned into a feen for the Luther. They were legit crack heads for it ☺️😆 definitely one of my favorites for sure.
Riley after eating it: "Whooa... this must be what crack feels like."
Luther is 18 now? How is he doing?

Once again great video Josh. Enjoyed the ride all the way. I wonder - you found out. What a team we are
1:40 this made my day XD, you have such an amazing team, and the videos just never stop getting better
Wow Josh you finally did it - you made a video that I talked about to my bf in such a way that he replied with "send me the link". Then said we need to make burgers when we're together next. I consider this an extreme win. well done!
that's cute

Just wanted to say that I got into cooking because of you and Babish. Burgers are among my favorite things to cook thanks to you (literally like 90% of my burger tricks come from your videos) that was incredibly helpful thank you so much
Babish's videos ain't great IMO. Following his recipes always leads to way too many dirty dishes. Every recipe I've made from him turned out worse than expected. Joshua is a real one tho
He is trying to mimic babish and make it look like it’s own
you should just stick to babish
@@flameinfiren5565 why?
@@lolno2623 I believe that they dont like him making his thumbnails similar to babish, tricking people into thinking it’s a babish vid and getting more views off it
What an insane amount of work. Thank you.
my dad, fan of making burgers and frequent watcher of your channel, willingly clicked on this video and got so mad at some of the methods you were making these burgers he got up and left.
keep up the good work 😂
Angela is the type of friend you invite to every dinner party. Whatever you make they are going to say, "wow this is so great!"
Kendrick... "it's okay"
ngl his ratings were kinda making me me mad lol
I think he hates burgers
@@MrDrainBramaged yea kendrick was also making me mad lol like why opt to join this video if you clearly have a bias against burgers
or when you're trying to make a video about the food and all the person can think to say is "its nice. it's really.... nice"
Should do this video again without him or another judge.. Cos it was kinda unbalanced tbh..
All the Judges kinda sucked, I find it hard to believe the burgers were that bad.
I grew up with Vetkoek (fry bread) and I am 58. We have made it every way possible. The vetkoek burger, the vetkoek hotdog, you name it. But just fry it plain, fill with filling of choice (chicken mayo, curry mince, whih is the traditional South African thing to fill it with), or with jam or golden syrup. Make small finger food vetkoeks and fill with pastry cream and a drizzle of glazing. With Vetkoek in your repertoire you are never at a loss what to feed people.
I was about to say that's a vetkoek. I agree with you. So many ways to style a vetkoek
I have always called it "bannock" and we all made it with everything, bannock burgers, tacos, corndogs and hotpockets. Bannock or vetkoek is amazing.
Is it me or was this one of the best UA-cam videos ever made?
This has to be the best cooking video I have ever seen. It's great and professionally done, hilarious and very informative. Brilliant!
Considering he did the Texas toast one with 2 patties I feel as though he should have done 2 patties for all of the smash burgers too because he himself said he does his smash burgers with 2 patties and all of their ratings were consistently lower due to not having enough meat and tasting too much like bread
Also it bugged me that at the end it still says the old tied second place burgers are in second place when now it should be the Luther burger lol like that was ranked second best and just fully got booted off the scoreboard as soon as it wasn’t first best
he prepped the patty melt so much better too lol, lame
19:20
When Kendrick said “Everybody’s so creative” I laughed my ass off so hard cause it reminded me of @Tanara Double Chocolate Productions
Joshua Weissman, You're so talented! I had to hit the like button!
Top 5 best food videos in youtube, hands down. The amount of work going into making this video gotta be insane. Props to everyone, but especially the producer & editor.
19:13 "everybody's so creative! it looks like we're putting peanut butter, bananas, and bacon on our burgers today! YOU GOOD???"
I love how cooking tells its own unique story, just like in a good book or movie. It's wonderful how the journey from ingredients to the finished dish is an adventure in itself.
I dream of being a judge in this type of competition
Patty Melt will always come out on top for me. Something about simply two things of toast, double patties and cheese is just enough to make anyone happy.
okay but acknowledging that whole air fryer debacle is actually cool, also amazing video papa
The effort this man and his team put in these videos is awesome. Josh you are my culinary role model. You are so dope for doing this video. Also I have a sweetspot for burgers. Best for to ever exist for me. Lol
The guy in the middle reminds me of Cam when it comes to steak😂I love him!!!
I don't feel like Kendrick should be part of the jury, he gives weird notes to decent burgers while the other 2 are kinda appreciating the taste.
Anyways I am pretty sure this video took a long time to shoot and edit and it was difficult to produce. Not to mention expensive due to all materials used. Congratulations!
Lovely! The fried bread - we call it vetkoek (fat cake). I prefer to use yeast. You can proof it longer or shorter or proof twice to get different results. I've tried the wrap before fry, but I prefer to add the patty after making the vetkoek. It's nice with savory, but butter, apricot jam and cheddar on a fresh, crispy vetkoek is hard to beat.
Oh Josh... I totally wish I was the 4th judge on this panel. You always make me so hungry with the food you make.
Joshua, the schnitzel is with the chicken breast. We do it with flour, eggs and bread crumbs, delicious. Not so much with red meat burger but if some people like it, why not? Fun video, thank you for sharing. So many ways to make a burger, that is genial!
"It's gunna be a single because we're keeping it simple"
Patty melt is always a double 🙃
That's when I knew it was rigged😂
so are all the smashburgers
We all know why the patty melt scored high. Moar meet! 😅😂
Why did you let someone who doesn't like burgers judge a burger competition?
Literally he voted lowest out of everyone on every burger, how is it 9 on the left, 2 in the middle from the guy who hates burgers, and a 10 on the end.
@@SlimyBonesJones doesnt matter. would you let someone who doesnt like well lets say hot dogs for example judge a competition for the best way to make hot dogs? Doesnt make sense
@@SlimyBonesJones Valid point. In retrospect. Having somebody who doesn't like burgers could be a way to make the scoring system unbiased
His scoring was consistent just like the other 2 so it didn’t really effect anything, also I feel like it made better content because if he scored high then it most likely was a damn good burger
Honestly sounds smart to me, bc if someone who hates burgers and they rate it super high or just high in general, it would be obvious which is the winner
Sous vide burgers are legit the best burgers I've ever made at home. The real perk is they can be as thick as you want. Super good.
Do you need to serve them as soon as they're out of sous vide or can you refrigerate them and then only sear them before serving?
@@bananeeek8376 I've done them either way, but the better result was to let them temper/refrigerate, Then unpack/dab the surface with a paper towel, then salt/pepper and sear.
Treat it the same as you would sous vide a steak. Ensure correct hygiene practice and never exceed over 2 hours > weight to cook time does vary.
I'm kind of surprised he didn't do internet Shaquille's version where the "grain" is all in one direction
@@bignate2814 if he had there is zero doubt that it would've been the winner. No contest
Agreed!!
I love these videos where you guys test all the diff ways to find the best! My fav is the grill pan and smoked 😋 Niiiice!! G G legends!
As a First Nations person, seeing the frybread burger rise to top of the ranks was a feel good moment
Right! Let's go bannock.
Okay I was watching this and was wondering if anyone else realized the frybread. Was not expecting it for a burger method but was super happy to see the good rating 🙌
The fry bread is actually also a very traditional and popular dish in South Africa coming from the Afrikaans culture and is called vetkoek here translated directly to fat cake. It is made exactly the same as in the video but is fried without any stuffing just the dough itself
@@gjvanbeek4203 cultures all over the world enjoy it and rightfully so. Mistamiigwetch ᒥᔥᑕᒦᐧᑫᐦᒡ thank you for sharing
As an American person, seeing a hamburger contest made me happy that so many folks still appreciate our great country.
I first time I saw the Luther burger was in the Boondocks animated series. I then found out it was also the origin of the burger. Grandad’s version was far more indulgent and when people ate it they would get a food coma prompting the restaurant to get beds instead of tables.
People worked a lot more than, we have become coddled by tech. It is a lot easier to eat a slightly burger when you do manual labor instead of sit on a chair and type all day. When I get out I do 15000 to 20000 steps a days not 500.
And I'm sure all of your steps are uphill in the rain, too. You aren't worse than cubicle office workers for doing manual labor, but you aren't better than them either.
Your weird elitism aside, having worked construction for a few summers you're absolutely right about being ready to tear through a massive lunch after spending all day hauling things to the dumpster during demo.
19:56 im honored you included me in ur video

@@Rokegle135 your opinion of what's cringe isn't important to me.
He stole this from another person
Hello, thank you for the video!
I would have liked to see the judges try the ultimate burger to see how they'd rate it.
I would also have liked their reasoning for their ratings, especially Kendrick, who seemed to have low ratings for a lot of them.
I wonder if the judges eating burger after burger affected the ratings at all?
Kendrick with his "everyone is so creative" got me laughing so bad I choked.
Good work everyone!
Kendrick was the hardest to please for a reason. His answers were actually well spot on.
I get the feeling Kendrick was more playing hard to get than honestly rating them. That 9 was so random I'd love to see the 10
*I feel like Kendrick refuses to live **_adequatiously_** .*
It pained me that we didn't get to see them try the final culmination!
I feel like maybe he likes his burgers a little more or less well-done than the average person. Kind of how I love my chicken breast and salmon to be just barely cooked enough to be safe but still very juicy, whereas my spouse wants hers cooked until it's what I'd consider "dry"
The fact Josh found 30 ways to cook a burger makes me believe he is either slowly going insane or has already gone insane
Bro are you a bot or something i see you on literally every channel with top comments
@Xyrim if they were a bot the comments would be more random
Butter burgers (Culvers) are from WI, which is where much of the dairy production is in the midwest. The first Culvers restaurant is 20 minutes from my house.
Awesome video, Kendrick was on a different level with those scores 😂 Oklahoma fried onion burger is a 100000000!
This was my exact reaction, Kendrick held no punches 😂😂😂😂
if he had made it a double like it is suposed to be it wouldve been 2 10s and whatever ole boy in the middle is feeling at that moment which is probably a 3 or somthing. Legit that dude should not be judging burgers.
@@JG-yk6ny 100% but I’m sure it was done on purpose to drive comments :) 😂
Kendrick reminds me of some two-star restaurant reviews that are something like: great service, great food, good prices, 2/5 stars.

Honestly, the best cooking video on UA-cam! I can't wait to make some burgers 🍔❤
WTH is wrong with Kendrick in this one??? He aint allowed back😂😂
The fry burger reminds me of one of my favorite foods ever, from Trinidad & Tobago (super popular as a beach food ): shark and bake! Basically, instead of a burger patty inside its fried shark (its called bake bc the "bun" is called fried bake). It is incredibly delicious.
exactly what it reminded me of, so delicious😋
Joshua, you are insane. This video includes 31 recipes. That's huge! Incredible good job. You are the best 😎
This is the kind of quick informative video every video should be.

Joshua Weissman, amazing content keep up the good content
You should try and do a collab with George Motz, the burger historian!
In regards to the Fry Bread Burger,
Out here (Navajo Nation & probably most other Reservations) we form the dough like a tortilla, and fry it like that. We fold it over, and it's really good with green chile. Ideally Hatch Chile since we're in the southwest, but regular Anaheim peppers are good too. I personally like it with lettuce, and tomato, because I think the sweetness compliments to the sweetness of the chile, but a lot of folks eat it with just the meat, cheese, and chile. Our communities have flea markets with food vendors, and it's really good to get everything fresh, and straight off the grill.
I kind of thought thats what had inspired him
Great episode. I take exception to your patty melt. I grew up in Southern California, and there a patty melt is made with a generous helping of caramelized onion and served on grilled (for the melt part) rye bread. I sure would like to try the smoked steakhouse frybread burger.
Same thought from me. This is not any sort of patty melt I've ever seen. Without caramelized onion it's just a burger on bread.
1000% - the key component of a patty melt is all that amazing caramelized onion blending with the cheapest foodservice american cheese slices
yes to this. rye bread and caramelize onions.
At least somebody here knows how to do a proper patty melt!
I grew up in New England and I'm also used your type of patty melt. Yes to the swiss, but I need that caramelized onion and rye.
My secret though is to combine it with the au jus from a french dip.
I'm glad you teamed up with Uncle Roger so I could find out about your channel. It's pretty entertaining. I like the energy and jokes.
What about a burger Wellington? Gordon Ramsay might hate you, but he'll get over it.
I really appreciate that you responded to the criticism of your air fryer video (in a very funny way btw xD)
Keep up the good work!!
same
We need more videos like this it’s actually entertaining to watch keep up the good work
Josh, the luther burger is believed to be created by or for Luther Vandross a singer, songwriter and record producer. It got popularized when it appeared on "The Boondocks" back in 2006, a little less then a year after Luther's passing. There is another claim that it came from a bar in Decatur, Georgia
This was just a video for Josh to show off all the cooking gear he owns, and I'm not complaining.
Making those smash burgers double patties would have potentially been more fair because (as Kendrick implied) the meat to bun ratio does matter.
not only that but 10 seconds later he makes a double patty burger and surprise it takes first place
Agreed, also felt he "fancified" the patty melt to make it win (two types of cheese, in-n-out sauce and onions), where the others got nothing
@@Danope6200 tbh the moment he switched from the methods section to the classics the fairness is already gone, the judges are now rating different variations of burgers instead of methods
@@mynameisjeff484 not to mention pretty much everything after that point that wasn’t specifically not a smash burger was basically a smash burger.
It’s hard to beat the smash burger if you get the meat ratio right. Which again is probably why every burger after it that didn’t specify to do it some way other than a smash burger was pretty much a smash burger.
@@TheNamelessTed idk about that. The burger that made MacDonalds a cultural icon was a single 1/10 lb patty on a bun with toppings. If you were really hungry you'd get three or four.
People are just getting more decadent over time.
Josh! Love your videos, bro. I'm learning so much. Just wanted to thank you. Also, I always season my tomatoes now and people make fun of me until they eat my food! I think the good word is spreading!
We made the Navajo Burger. It was delish! Thanks, Josh! My husband and I always look forward to your weekly cooking/standup comedy. 😊
11:24 “I think Kendrick doesn’t really like burgers”
I thought: then *WHY THE FUCK* was he a judge?!
But then I remembered that a great chef wins their customers even against the odds
Nice 👌🏼
Having a guy who doesn't like burgers and is impartial helps even out the scores. If all three outright liked burgers but each had their own bias the scores may not be reflective of a general population
He was mainly included so the editor could zoom in on his face for the first bite of each burger. People love to see a big guy taking a big bite, it's crack for the algorithm.
it's taken me a while to get on board, but I know I really like your content now. Animal Style for liiiiffe !! I love following your recipe
I'd really love to see your take on the Aussie burger. It's like the american burger but with egg, pineapple, and beetroot.
That sounds incredible

Pineapple and beetroot??
Is beetroot what we (U.S.A.) would call beets? I assume so, but I'm not sure.
egg? ok beetroot? ummmmm ok? but pineapple? uuuhhhhhh really? idk i havent even tried pineapple on pizza or even just pineapples by themselves but ....
