Jessie’s shrimp burger is happening this weekend. My gf is so excited and so am I. Thank you Jessie.

Yeah that looks incredible, hope you both enjoy :)

Aww, the shrimp burger was my favourite at Mos Burger. Gotta make this!

[@gniawd]

Haven't seen the channel in a while and i'm only 2 minutes into the video but Susan already has me. it's almost exactly what I choose to put on a burger.

[@secretforreddit]

@@pandascorner1 the point of a smash burger is to have thinner patties to get more maillard reaction; one thick patty would entirely defeat the purpose, as he explained.

I love how Rachel's accent completely disappears when she says some words but then instantly comes back. Put a ring on it ❤

[@sarahg6209]

The shrimp burger made me so nostalgic for Taiwan - I just moved back to the US after living in/around Taipei for 8 years. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Jessie!

[@xoxobrialee]

Harold’s burger looked like it was still moo’ing 😂 what a guy! He knows flavor!!

[@juliam1573]

I have such an aversion to that looking burger- RAW!! Chris’s burger or the first one with onion & mustard ❤️

I'm gonna go chris morocco for a classic burger, impossible to go wrong with a salty smash burger and some good melty american. I want to try the onion and mustard fry though and I would love a bite of the shrimp burger too.

[@mattsnyder4754]

The best burger hack I have is SLICE. STUFF. THIN. Thin pickles. Thin tomatoes. Shredded lettuce. Thin patties. Thin cheese slices. Layer that stuff up. Way more consistent coverage.

[@AlaskaSkidood]

I just love Harold's grass-fed beef burger with Kraft Singles cheese. Eat good food, not merely expensive food.

[@SuaSponte75]

His burger needed just 1-2 more minutes on the grill though. You want pink... that was too raw for a burger

[@Cyril29a]

@@SuaSponte75 Totally agree, I love blue steak but raw ground beef is not tasty, the middle of that burger would have been awful texture and flavour.

[@umsami]

Susan's burger I would eat any day of the week... no every day of the week. Honestly, they all look incredible. Rachel's pav looked yum. I'm a fan of Cooper cheese, so yeah to Chris's burger. Anything Jessie and Harold cook always looks incredible.

[@Ast0rea]

I'm in love with indian food and I'm in love with burgers. I'm impressed.

[@Ashar121]

My wife and I also used banana peppers as a topping and it was incredible. We used the jar stuff that has already been pickled so we didnt use any other pickles but it was delicious. Really adds a great briney kick to the fatty beefy flavor. With Chris's burger it's really interesting to note that instead of toasting the inside surface of his bun, he went with the reverse. Adding texture to the outside of the pretzel bun while keeping the internal soft. I've never tried that before.

[@secretforreddit]

I'm not vege/vegan, but of all of these, the one I think I'm most excited to attempt is Chrissy's spinach and artichoke one!

[@Rodviet]

Wow the shrimp burger looks out of this world! What an amazing burger

[@ChristianElijahDickens]

Haven't seen this channel in A second. Shout out to Chris he a legend.

Chris needs to talk to the burger guy about sliding and smearing the edge of your smash burger for that crunch Lacey edge!

Second video I’ve seen since the new team came along, all these burgers looked amazing! I gotta say Harold has a very chill vibe about him I like seeing him cook! I would have to say I’m between Chris’s Burger & Harold’s… Susan’s burger also looked very good

[@sariloua]

Susan is my new spirit animal

[@necrogenesis1981]

Egg salad on a burger is genius! It’s like a sauce too. I need to try that with beef burgers too.

Harold’s looked great but what a power move to not cook through the patty.

[@Tomatohater64]

Wow, were these ever yummy looking! My favorite was the pretzel bun burger. I would add or substitute a chopped olive spread - kind of like a muffaletta.
