Thanks for teaching me how to cook. Very helpful. Thank you!!! Also, is there a more cheaper way to make the patty? I’m trying to cook under 15 dollars.
“These aren’t the only things getting salted”
Special sauce or fry sauce
This guy's voice is smooth like butter, I would love to see him and Morgan Freeman in the same room
Basics? Ok.
when your're checking the temperature of your burger with the instant read thermometer, how far in do you poke? In general for meat, im told to poke the middle because that's usually the coldest part. 6:11 - 6:18, it looks like Babish doesn't insert the thermometer to the middle. Is that true? I dont want to insert in the middle if i dont have to. Juices leak, and if you stab and the temp is too low, you gotta cook the burger some more and the juices usually run dry.
Your intro music could use some help. The hesitation always gets me in the start
No pickles??
I love his videos but I cringe every time he doesn’t use a cutting board....cuts meat and all kinds of things on that beautiful wood bacteria-loving counter...
This guy sounds exactly like You Suck at Cooking. Coincidence?
*IHOB - INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF BITCHES*
Gordon and babish should do a collab and test each others food
Fun fact, French fries aren't French, they're Belgian.
Wherreee is well done burger :((
1:08 .. so who's or what's or why's Babish then?
Use real cheddar you stupid boy
that intro was pretty basic ;D
Babish bro the special sauce is called fry sauce bro
plz do basics with babish chocolate
lmao why do you have condoms on your hands 🤣😆🤣😆
Mayo + Ketchup is just called fry sauce wear I live
WHO LIKED MY COMMENT? THATS ILLEGAL
Burgers should never be red or pink on the inside...
Burgers should always be red or pink on the inside*
....but where's the foot lettuce?
I tried making the burger but the middle of the Patty was uncoocked and it was really big
It's fucking raw
Omg seeing you put the splash of water and cover it to melt the cheese made me so happy bc I do that too😭😭😭 YAASD
Equal parts ketchup and mayo is what people from Utah call "fry sauce". We've been eating that junk for decades.
Looking at undercooked ground beef is disgusting to me, it’s all kinds of wrong and
Babish really did his homework on these. From all my research, he has done this expertly. Patties made from fresh meat? Yep, most people use chuck roll meat but I’m sure this mixture is excellent too with the right fat ratio. The bread, cheese, and toppings are done right. Then the fries, also expertly done. They are actually better when fried twice. Great all the way around.
borger time
Make Candy Apples
Why would anyone dislike this?
What about well done!
6:22 sorry for the dumbass question, but why does putting lettuce at the bottom keep it from wilting?
I almost came in my pants when he opened the lid from the pan
I want to marry your food
American cheese is da best!!
It's funny how you tell us to freeze the beef yet you put it in the oven 2:26
I put that sauce on every thing
Damn straight, I *grind my own meat*
If you don’t want to freeze your fries, try using Yukon Gold potatoes. You can just fry them, season, and you’re good to go.
All 3 burgers are undercooked. It isnt that I am afraid of germs it is a texture thing. Rare burger just has a nasty almost slime like texture. As for the American cheese, grow up. It is crap.
By undercooked you mean mid rare to rare. Grow the fuck up
U should make The Goodburger with Eds special sauce!!!
Your special sauce is known as fry sauce where I’m from
bro you sound like bob from bobs burgers 😂 youre an absolute legend
COME TO MY CHANNEL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN NEW BURGER RECIPES!!
Who is Babish then?
Potentially noob-y question but I see raw meat and vegetables happening on the same countertop, isn’t that an issue?
No really if you treat it right
Was i the only one who thought his name IS Babish.
I prefer hockey pucks
Use dukes mayo
*Babish just made A Thousand Island Sauce*
Special sauce, I think you mean fry sauce 😉 midwesterners know exactly what I’m talking ablut
No pickles?
I think the french alpine cheese, reblochon, is the best cheese for burgers
Special sauce is called fry sauce, you can buy fry sauce in utah
"I like them about a quarter of the width of a sheet of paper."
Thank you for teaching me this resapy and now here is a tip. My dad makes the patty flat then puts barbaque souce on the patty then folds the patty overit then whiyle grilling it squeeze the patty flat not to flat but a litttle just close the gap and that is how you get a jucey BBQ ham burger with eny topings of your choice.
Ew babish likes sweet relish...UNSUBSCRIBE😂
I don't think a "basics" recipe should require hundreds of dollars worth of equipment but that's just me
Why can’t you season your beef before it is in patty form?
It would have a closed meatloafy texture
I like arugula on my burgers. Nice and peppery.
I make burgers with chicken meat
Can you do vegan dishes? It would be cool to see you’re vegan take on regular dishes
It's called fancy sauce thank you very much
Can i rub your head? I hear it's good luck to rub a beautiful bald head... Ok. Im done being thirsty.
Didn't bake own buns.
0/10
ive been told you should bathe your fries in cold water for a few hours ?
What's his name then?
You're dead wrong. Cheddar is the best for burgers
Omh, his "secret sauce" is fry sauce it is a staple in Utah and Idaho, it's sold by the gallon.. really.. look it up
0:43 start chips
How about Good Burgers with Ed’s sauce from the show All That/ movie Good Burger?
You and your salt and pepper
With brioche, that would be death row meal.
Medium
I don't like JUST salting the fries. I like to really season them up with salt, pepper, some garlic powder, some chipotle flakes, a little steak seasoning and if i feel really frisky, some parmesean. Those fries always taste like a party.
Burgers suck
Woah, get a load of this. This snowflake has a different opinion, guess we should worship her
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THATS NOT YOUR NAME!
i dont know no Andrew
(•¿•)
About the fries, is it better to deep fry or air fry the fries?
For classic Americana fries I say deep fry
Either or
He forgot the pickles
There's only a couple of things that you forgot my friend, for my burger I will take it bloody rare, with some jalapenos
It’s all about well done
Hey vsauce, Micheal here!
M I C H E A L
Can I just freeze my beef for a day and then hit it with a hammer? Asking for a friend
Hate on me all you’d like. But I like my burgers well done.
banana
im here for the sause
Don’t you have butchers in the us? Here I can ask him to mince any cut of meat I want.
I really wanna make fancy burgers but is there a way to do it without a meat grinder?
Did you put reverb on your voiceover? because extra sultry
What is silver skin?
Mini onion rings > raw onions
I am very hungry right now
Why put the lettuce in direct contact with the beef? Regardless whether the the lettuce is immediately top or below the meat, it’d still wilt. Put the use the tomato as the buffer, then the lettuce
Babish made Ed Sauce from Good Burger
"Please don't ever let me catch you doing this" lol
It is so difficult to learn anything from your show
Na Swiss man
I love super thin smashed burgers
