Like if you think Burger Scholar George Motz is a National Treasure
First We Feast the burger show is awesome
He's my burger Stan Lee..
First We Feast you should take a trip to Mansfield, Texas and go to a restaurant called Twisted Root, one of the best burgers I’ve ever had!
If you are on a hunt in Texas go down to south of Houston to a place called stomps. And hubcap grill. Greatest burgers I'm telling you
MOOOOOAAAARRRRR
I see George Motz, I watch and leave a like. Can never go wrong with Mr. Motz in an episode.
It's almost like Alvin is the place holder for the series. I generally don't mind him unless he ignores what the guest said, but we're all fans of George.
That's Dr.Motz Burger PHD
Except All those behind the scenes footage when he's throwing a tantrum
Cant believe George had the audacity to ask Alvin if he was ready to eat
Raphael Sauvage
No kidding
Ready to eat
Ready for his heart to attack
Ready to party
Raphael Sauvage he probably just watched him consume somebody on his way into the restaurant
Right, look at him. Dudes built for readiness
"I'm really worried about his weight "
Dude needs to eat less. I like him. True concern.
I'm sitting here in Dallas having never heard of any of these. Knife is a 5 minute drive so I guess that's what I'm having for lunch.
To be fair their are lots of good burgers in Dallas lived here all my life and have never heard of these places until today
I don’t even live in Dallas, Texas but not Dallas, and I’ve heard of Keller’s for years.
I'm 5 minutes away from Keller's. A cheeseburger is $2.45. Double meat all the way is $2.89. Bad-ass
Update us how it is haha
how was it?
Honestly, this show should just be about George.
Alvin just regurgitates everything george says and adds nothing to the conversation.
Yeah I was really upset when the fat fuck appeared.
Dont worry George is gonna take over once Alvin's arteries give out
He is just nauseating to look at, morbidly obese and terrible acne. Seems like a nice guy but I honestly lose my appetite when he is on screen.
Watching a show just for the sole purpose of spewing hatred is unbelievable. None of you are concerned about his weight, so really cant hide behind that curtain. How sad are the lives you people live? Like seriously. That shit is pathetic.
George! Great reflexes avoiding a collision brother! These classic burger joints have been added to my list! Next time I'm in Texas... Oh yeah!
Herd's burger copycat video would be amazing!
@@Poluproizvodi Agreed! Next time I'm in Texas I'll do some RECON!
Love your channel
Just pick a lane and drive straight
Watching this show before lunch is pure torture.
In the best way.
But at least if you're going out for lunch you know what you want.
cock and ball torture
this guy is literally putting his life on the line every episode
Still let him be he’s not harming no one but himself. Ik were all worried about Alvin but come on there’s no need to keep on bashing him. Food addiction is real but let the man live the way he wants
@@ChefCameron281 like you said though, its addiction. i doubt anyone _wants_ to have a body like that and live that way tbh
@@reyerzeeuw6862 well maybe he is happy with himself it's usually people that think judgmental like you and the original commenter who try to make him uncomfortable with himself because yall just cant worry about yourselves
@@NostalgicDan96 Doubt if anyone can be happy like that, they of course all say they're but deep down they're not. Just workout 1/2 hours a day and you can still chomp burgers without getting fat af.
@@NostalgicDan96 I think people look at him and just worry about his health, which I feel is kinda natural know obesity is a serious problem and cause of death in America. People just want to see him thrive and continue to make content
At last! Motz's episodes are the best!
Can George just have his own show? Just saying!
He used to have his own show called Burger Land on the Travel Channel. I wish he had his own show again too but this is the next best thing I guess ;)
George! Great reflexes avoiding a collision brother! These classic burger joints have been added to my list! Next time I'm in Texas... Oh yeah!
Alvin's semi-literate intros always remind me of the times in high school when the slacker kid had to make a class presentation.
He Enunciate his words, he's not semi literate sheesh
You do realise that literacy is about the written word and not speech right?
Damn brutal dude
Sam Mitchell I don’t get it
I’m so excited for the Keller’s episode. My mom went there throughout high school and her younger years and she took me and my sister there for the first time when we were real young. I’ve driven hours out of my way since to take friends and girlfriends there. Such a great burger and such a quintessential Dallas experience
This show was lost till they found Motz... its his show now.
Like when family matters found erkel
As a native Texan it’s amazing how many little burger joints like this are scattered all across the state in every small community. And they are all pretty damn good.
As a Dallas TX native, can confirm that Keller’s is the best burger I’ve ever had
Just down the street from the massage parlors
Agreed.... well. Hold up Griffs? And Twisted Roots? (I think)
Only other patty that compares to Keller's is rodeo goat.
@kozmik__WZRD your comment is a failure in of itself
as a dallas native I agree keller's is a good burger, but have you tried the burger at the rosewood hotel. Mansion restaurant? Kellers was my favorite before i tried this burger.
I love this man and every episode done with him. give him his own show
8:10 George becomes my culinary hero!
Happy we're getting so much George Motz. Glad you found this guy
Never thought I'd see Kellers on First We Feast!! So many memories of eating greasy burgers there in high school!
Speaking for everyone George needs his own show
you don't speak for me
pure。 yes he does
Already can't wait to see part 2! And I know for a FACT I'd love to see this done again in the next seasons with states like Cali, New York, Florida, you name it!!!
I LOVE these episodes. I love Alvin and George, how they respect the journey, but they also mow-down on burgers.
I love the fact that George is the exact opposite of Nick Solares.
For those not familiar with DFW, Jaxboro is in the frickin' STICKS like you wouldn't believe. Literally they don't have the internet there so the fact that Herd's burgers stays open tells you how great their food is.
i wish these episodes where more than 9 minuts.
Completely agree, expecially when George is on. He's a wealth of knowledge.
@@JoeBlow_4 Yeah what a sick burger guy! i love people honing their craft.
Naaah the shortness of them keep ya hungry and wanting more 😉
One of the best signs a burger joint is going to be good is if it has been around for a while and it looks like a place no one in there right mind would stop at if they didn't know about it already.
I love how media always portrays Texans like we’re a bunch of cowboys that only use pick ups and horses for transportation 😂
nah Texans do it all themselves, the most arrogant and embarassing state in the UNION
So George has basically been promoted from recurring guest star to main cast at this point, and I'm not mad about it. Dude is super chill and knowledgeable.
Dallas local here. Keller's is great. HIGHLY recommended. If you're in from out of town for even just a day, it's a very worthy stop.
Alvin has a look of pure joy when he eats ! I love it.
I wanna watch these. But Alvin looking like hes one burger out from a heart attack makes me uncomfortable.
It's like he gets bigger and more tired every episode, it's honestly depressing.
@@KeithPickeringGuy no wonder with the way people in the comments are talking about him. People are fucking assholes on here. Leave the guy be, it's none of your damn business.
@@miklschmidt "it makes me sad to see him be so unhealthy"
"ASSHOLE!"
wut...?
@@erickazo5915 Wasn't minded at you specifically, i just had enough after the 20th comment mentioning his weight and how he's about to have a heart attack. There's a thread further up where they are especially nasty, calling him disgusting, lazy and all sorts of thing. Shouldn't have taken it out on you here, but people need to mind there own fucking business and stop pointing fingers every time they see a person with different life choices than their own. We all have eyes, you (again not you specifically) don't have to point it out 5 million fucking times.
@@miklschmidt caring about people's health is a good thing.
Traveling across America with George Motz eating burgers would be a dream come true.
Bro...that is so freaking cool. My entire mom's side of my family lives in, and is from Jacksboro. I live in NC now but I spent my entire growing up eating at Herd's. Really stoked to see them get some of the recognition they deserve, they really are fantastic burgers. My order forever is a double double all the way, hot (with Jalepenos).
“As a chef Alvin’s always searching for inspiration”
** Especially uninspired for Alvin at this point, he doesn't even have much to say about the burgers he's eating anymore, other than "mmm, that's good". Wish they'd ask the kitchen folks what they're lean to fat ratio is, ask them more about the history, or at least show us them making the food.
@@nolan6183 the fact is that Alvin is a chef in profession, not a commentator on food. Eloquent descriptions just might not be his strong suit, but the passion for the burger is real and you never know when he'll have output from all the experiences he had and will have.
@@schizotypeseraph Yeah the passion for burgers is more than apparently. Maybe a little too apparent. I fear for him.
George Motz really went through stalker lengths to find a burger... tell me that isn't dedication
I dont know why people are saying the show should only be about george. I think alvin is a great host. His chemistry with george is what makes the show so good.
Alvin, I'm serious: please go on a diet and exercise. I love u and I want to keep seeing your content. You are an incredible maker of food, but your weight is going to kill u. I am a paramedic and I want to continue seeing your awesome vids for many years to come.
Yeah he is most likely going to die early if he doesnt do something about his health
he's uncomfortably fat
Actually Alvin is so dedicated to burgers, he is planning to become one. He's nearly become like his "stunt burger" aka the baseball burger featured in earlier seasons. So let the man grow and fulfill his destiny! he and the burger are one. no one can separate them. Rumors from his will are that when he dies, he should be cremated. Initially, get the funeral mortician to stuff his torso with American cheese and lots of onions. While cremating, season him with salt and pepper and when the Maillard reaction occurs, flip him and put a life size piece of American Cheese on top till it melts and fuses.
I want a George Motz travels America eating burgers show and I want it to be super hyped.
I'd subscribe for sure. He needs to host a burger show somewhere.
Holy hell I haven't watched this show for a bit and this dude is gigantic now. This is going to turn into a documentary once he has his heart attack
George needs his own show. This show is good but George deserves his own show going round the country and overseas on burger expeditions. Called Burger Biography
I love the Burger Show so much. I hope they find a way to keep it going after Alvin has his heart attack.
"Wow, that was close babe"... I love him!!! Seems very polite and its much better than flipping her the bird like what most people would do. Lol.
It’s really cool watching him eat at restaurants that I’ve grown up eating at
Initially I thought it would be a True Detective theme opening and it would say “True Burger Detective” 🤣🤣🤣
I’m proud y’all actually went to a good mom and pop joint in the middle of nowhere Texas. None of that coast shit.
Keller’s: Amazing
Knife: Amazing
Herd’s: Never even heard of Jacksboro lol
Lots of great burgers here in Dallas but personally my favorite is Off Site Kitchen. Next time George!
Well he's right, it's way outside of Dallas. It's actually a little over an hour Northwest of Fort Worth.
Herds is the best
Admittedly, I haven't tried very many places. I love Liberty Burger, so when I want a good burger, that's where I go! But I have yet to have a bad burger from any of the designated burger joints around town.
Jgs and burger island!!
@@dtxfaded which Burger Island? Last one I had was in Irving off of Story Rd and it was a tad mediocre from what I remember them tasting like.
Id love to see George & Alvin come to Oklahoma & try some authentic Oklahoma Onion burgers. With Sid's classics in El Reno to one of my favorites from Nic's Grill in Okc.
You had me at road trip with George Motz. 🤘
Keller's is unparralled, period.
Knife is bit let down as a high-end steakhouse for the whole experience, but the dry-aged is great, burger is an icon too.
Herd's hamburgers is such a cool spot for burgers. I'm hungry just seeing the restaurant.
I'm a hiker, nature lover, outdoorsy person, for years I thought my first ever big roadtrip will be to see all the beautiful natural places the united states have to offer, but since I starting watching george motz and the burger show in general, I think my new plan for a road trip will be to go to all of the burger joints he recommended, because there's only one thing and one thing only that I love more than a hike, and that's a good hamburger
I give Alvin another decade to live, max
Just state the obvious, while you're at it! Damn, y'all are savages...
Everybody talks about Texas beef like it’s so special, when everybody knows the Midwest, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, has better beef!!
(collective sigh and eye roll)
I watch every episode, but seriously love the ones with George!
Honestly George and Alvin need a series where they just travel the world eating pure burgs
Imagine an episode with George motz and Kenji lopez having a burger showdown
Oh yeah them picking each other’s brains would be awesome. It’d have to be a mini series to fully encapsulate their knowledge
And we just had it happen, with smashburgers. George did Smashburgers the original, classic style, from the 1900's, and Kenji did his own innovative style, with homemade "beef cheese". Both were such fun to watch.
Yo anyone hating on Alvin is welcome to fucking fight me. This man is living his best life and he adds a lot to the show. He's like the kid in UP, energy, enthusiasm and along for a hella ride. Living his best life.
That dude doesn’t need a burger man he’s gotta have a heart attack on cam
Been eating Herdburgers for 40 years. They are the best burgers on the planet. Double Double Hot FTW!
Best Burger in Texas:
Whataburger #2 with cheese, all the way
Every summer and winter i would go to Jacksboro as a kid. My grandfather always took us to Herd Burger when we were out on the lease getting ready for deer season or hunting. I miss those times.
3:08 I thought George was going to get all literal and say that you're always traveling forward through time.
I rewatch every episode with George Motz all the time. Knowledgeable is an understatement.
Imagine sitting next to Alvin on a plane...
I love how theyre in the dallas area and manage to make it look like its all old west
I live in DFW and might have to try Keller's this weekend sheesh!
You guys are a great team. This needs to be a full blown series
I feel like no one has ever called him The Motz Man
#1. Each ep needs to be considerably longer (cause I love burgers and I love you guys!) #2. Motz needs another burger tv show. #3. Setup a patreon site or kickstarter and watch how fast contributions come in for longer eps and a new Motz burger show! #4. Parts 2 and 3 of this ep need to come sooner rather than later. #5. Make it happen! Keep up the great work!!
This guy gets bigger after every episode
Fingering Things hey man... Seriously you don't need to make those comments I'm sure Alvin is aware of his body and maybe he's planning to slim down soon. Just enjoy the show and let the man live how he wants to live.
LIT GOD edit: i didnt use the right words. the original comment that we all replied to was bad and mean spirited. what i meant by stupid is that a lot of the comments are actually worried for alvin and it isnt good to muffle are opinions. my bad for the misunderstanding.
Silas Boyden don’t be a bitch. Reply 😂
Who cares
Silas Boyden man *you're* stupid
Fixed it for you
Love the show and man there is only one true Burger King George Motz. Love the passion of this guy. Plse take a bit more care of yourself Alvin Cailan plse. Your a hearthattack waiting to happen, would hate to lose a great guy like you
Anyone know the artist of the song? I like this version of Wayfaring Stranger. Thanks!
I'm waiting for the answer as well
Can't find it either.
Any chance someone found the song? I've gone through like 40 covers with no luck
UA-cam is brutal... Alvin is more successful than all of these trolls online has launched two successful restaurants in arguably the two most competitive restaurant markets in US, LA and Vegas. Alvin has a gentle pleasant personality, and is a good foil for George. He doesn’t talk over the expert and truly loves burgers. People are more than their weight.
Johnny Knoxville: Dad?
It’s burger-mania!!!! I’ve never been so happy to have back to back videos like this !!! Let’s get it boys !
Hold the Alvin and add the George.
George Motz is my spirit animal.
i hope yall went to Chesters burgers in San antonio!! Now thats a good ol burger!
melanie johnson yes!!!!!!
NemaBass91 one of the best in town 🤤🤤
SA Local here, I don't agree. I've been to 3 of their SA locations and imo it's overrated. My favorite go to burger place is Texas Hamburger Company in SA. Honorable mention goes to Zinc's Bar & Bistro in downtown SA, one of my top burgers.
So much respect for both these masters for this amazing trip! What a duo
Bet those moo-moos were terrified when these two rolled in.. love from Texas 🤘🤘
Dizzy Sic same finnaly they went to texas
Growing up just 15 minutes from that Kellers drive in my grandfather would go there regularly when going to the street races in the area. I went there with him more than a few times and that is a great memory, though I make far better burgers myself than I can buy at Kellers. I do think I am going to ride out to Herd's though, that seems like a worthwhile endeavor. Thank you for sharing these.
3:31 I hope he doesn't plan on serving that bun he just used to move raw meat lol
George Motz is criminally underappreciated
I love Keller’s they have great and simple burger I have been going there Since I was like 10 I’m 19 now
manuel z you’re still a kid, enjoy.
My wife and I have driven past Herd's for 20 years on our way from Colorado to see my family in Texas, without ever knowing it was there.
My man looks like a magic 8 ball im a lil past concerned
You guys need to go to “Hudson’s Hamburgers” in Coeur d’Alene, ID., USA! The burger joint is over 112 years old and their burgers are so simple and delicious!🍔❤️
Did First we Feast give this show to Alvin as like a Make a Wish Foundation thing before the inevitable massive heart attack or stroke?
How brutally honest can u be?
SlickRick4EVER there is is difference between being honest and being an dickhead
@@ehinton4006 Gee, way to fling around the hurtful names bro. It's 2019 you shouldn't go around assuming the genitalia on my head... not cool bro.
Kirin Earl Lee you are corny
@@ehinton4006 Thanks buddy it really means a lot to be recognised for the work that I put in. Cheers. Have a blessed day.
I was so happy to see him eat Herds. I have family in Graham and everytime we go we stop at Herds. Such a staple of my family road trips out there and its cool to see it get the praise it deserves.
Damn Alvin, w can hear you wheezing in this upload... Get on a program bro we want you to live. I'm sure your Filipina mother reminds you to lose weight.
Keller's on a beautiful Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night is the best. The BEST burgers, good beer, and the BEST cars. You can go to car shows and still not see the variety or quality of custom or classic cars that roll in to Keller's. We moved to Dallas in '79 when I was 10... I fell in love with this place. That's right... 40 years. They have a life long staff of servers that love their customers. #5 is their burger to get, but they are all great. Truly a "Cheesburger in Paradise". Tots, fries, or onion rings you can't go wrong.
Somebody tell Alvin to get in the gym before dude has a heart attack
Antiii I don’t think he cares.
I remember going to Denton high school 00-04 and my history teaching raving about Herd's. I took a road trip my senior year when I was finally able to drive and I showed up for class late with a Herd's burger. It was roughly 2 hours round trip drive to class and that created a lasting impression on me. Unfortunately it is one of those once in a while things since you really have to go out of your way to discover it. However it was worth it and here we are today where I am commenting on a video that I stumbled upon.
Who sings this particular version of wayfaring stranger
So we can avoid it.
i am looking the same here, this version has something that gets you
I wanna know as well!
I could listen to Motz talk about burgers all day... This show is belong to Motz and Alvin is the guest... Always
its packed......shows video of the restaurant empty
Any episode with Motz is the best!
Why is Alvin even still on this show
George motz = knowledge + laugh + ambition
