    TLDW Things you "cant do":
    75/25 beef - The butcher at any supermarket will do this for you for. or do it yourself If you have the tools.
    Flat top - Amazon
    Custom salt blend - Most likely salt pepper and msg. though yeah, he's not telling.
    Sesame seed milk bread. - you can make this if you have the time or care to do so.
    Kimchee mayo - You can make this.
    Roasted scallion oil - Super easy to make, look it up.

    FYFY : Chef Jae Lee makes a hamburger that anyone with modest cooking skills can recreate. Bon Appetit insults audience by saying they can't cook, and that only "professionals" can make hamburgers. On next week episodes, we will learn how only true chefs can make Lemonaid.

    This video comes across as very pretentious and classist. “My food is better than yours because my ingredients are custom and expensive.” The irony here is that Kimchi was a method of fermentation that could keep the cabbage fresh through winter so that poor Korean people didn’t starve to death. It wouldn’t seem nearly as bad if he had shown any gratitude for having all his nice equipment and access to ingredients either.
