I'm from Belgium and we're known for our fries. I encourage you to try our recipe. Our secret? two time cooking and beef fat. We actually don't cook the fries in vegetable oil, but in beef fat, trust me, that is something else. Cut you're potato (make sure you choose a potato with a lot of starch * (don't know if it's correct in english, my bad) in my country we mostly use bintje) and deep fry them in beef fat at 150° celsius for about 7', then dry them on an absorber paper, wait a bit the time the oil gets the temperature of 180° celsius and put them back in 'till there are golden crispy, put immediatly salt on it and enjoy with any sauce you like...personnaly I enjoy simple mayo or brasil sauce (we're know for our sauce too) wich is a mayo with some tomato and pineapple puree in it. I hope you will try this recipe Guga. And I know you enjoy wagyu fat....I think that could be scandalous :D Love ya and wich you the best * Sorry for my english, I tried my best

I am not Belgian myself, but fries are actually a Belgian invention and they should have been called Belgian fries because the French had nothing to do with it. It were the American soldiers in WW I who landed in Belgium in 1917 who came across them for the first time, really liked them and started calling them ‘French fries' because a considerable part of the Belgian population speaks French.

What Babish did was essentially make his own homemade frozen fries. However, one of my favorite homemade fries I ever made was by making mashed potatoes (no cream, just a bit of butter and one egg yolk as a binder) and then freezing it on a sheet. After its frozen, you cut them up in to fries (or chips if youre weird), and then back in the freezer to firm up again before frying. They turn into almost mini croquettes with the most deliciously crispy exterior with a fluffy and slightly creamy interior. Definitely takes some extra effort, but it they turned out soooo good. Definitely worth making every once in a while.

On the frenchfry note, it depends. If you bother to batter them, (ex: beer battered fries) there is a world of difference between making them yourself or using frozen bag of fries. However, if you aren't going to bother to batter them or do something specific like that, honestly frozen are fine.

I don't do mayo. But I used to mix ketchup, mustard, Worchestershire, Salt and Pepper for a sauce anytime I grilled burgers. Sometimes I would add A-1, but not very often. And yeah, for steaks I love Medium Rare, but for burgers it has to be medium to medium well. Granted, I don't grind my own beef either. Also, if I don't make my own fries(I like them with skins on) then I just get McDonalds fries or a brand I get at Dollar General called Made in Idaho.

I agree about the fries. The amount of extra work to make them comepletely homemade for the benefit you get just isn't worth it. Unless you want them seasoned a specific way, just try a bunch of different varieties to find your favorite. Also, iceberg should never be on a burger, for the same reason he wants it on there - it's boring and flavorless. Why would you want less flavor? Tastier lettuce doesn't clash with the other flavors on a burger.

I feel like the criticisms with regards to the french fries as well as the fat are a little unfounded; making your own fries at home is a cost-saving measure; buying a bag of potatoes will always ultimately be cheaper than buying a bag of frozen fries, and just like making your own ground beef at home, it gives you more control-including quality control-over the process. As well, Andrew fried his burger buns in butter, and made a special sauce with mayo, which is an oil-based emulsion that adds fat to the burger, just in a different form. That said, this is a good video.

As a Belgian of 32 yearrs old that cooked home made fries in beef fat all his life I can guarantee you that it's 1000X better than frozen fries. Honnestly here they are pretty comon but in no way they can compare to home made ones. It's basically an art to make wonderfull fries ^^ Try beef fat Guga please and cook first time 140° Celsius and second cook at 185 190° When cooked first dont put any color on the fries, just cooking the inside basically but still soft and white. THEN let them cool nicely for 30mins in a cooling rak and then putt the beef fat max temp and fry these babies for the color you like. MAAANNNNN it'sss soooo goood , soft in the inside and so delicious with the beef fat that make them almost creamy and the crazy and amazing crunch rhoooo maaaaannnnn.

Cooking at home is always better. Fries are not easy, they are not convenient to make... but they are still better done at home than buying the premade stuff. There are two reasons for that: 1. Making food from scratch is usually cheaper (and if it's not now, it will probably be in the future when your favourite brand will charge you more or change the recipe). 2. You can control the quality, seasoning, everything in the process and stay consistent. Still, since making fries at home is not that easy the best thing to do is to make a lot of them par frying and freeze, that way you only make one large batch divide it in single portion and when you want fries you just need to reach one portion from the freezer for a long time. PS. Fontina is better than american cheese.

Home fry challenge- French cut 2 potatoes and rinse off all the starch until water is clear and then dry them. Then add them to cold oil Dutch oven and then let the burner rip and the fries will cook through as the heat rises and the fries are crispy. The other way with waiting until oil reaches 375 sucks. Once you put the fries in it drops way too much and becomes soft and oily.

Speaking on home made fries for a moment, the results are night and day if you soak the cut fries in cold water (not ice water) overnight to remove the starch. Most companies making fries commercially skip this step entirely. Guga, i respect you very much as a meat guy. But store bought frozen fries are garbage compared to properly prepared fries. (I also like to leave the skin on for a bit of extra flavor and texture, only removing the ugly bits of skin). Would love to see you try this method. Perfect if you're making poutine.

Personally, I prefer chips to fries (about 4 times the size, double the size of each edge) so you get a bit more interior vs exterior. I do remember the burger lesson from Lethal Weapon 2 (I think), you cut the fat you kill the burger, but I'd rather have a burger I can eat several times a week than a better burger I can only have once. Lettuce and tomato need to be on the same side of the burger though, whether it's below to prevent the bottom bun from disolving, or above to get maximum flavour from a bite.

Babish's burger is basic, and easily leveled up. Get that next level burger with: Chopped beef, instead of ground. The food processor blade for 5 to 10 seconds, working in small batches makes fresh chopped beef. A burger that bites like a burger, tastes and chews like a steak is the pinnacle. Guga's nod to chopped beef and Worchestershire is spot on. I always use Worchestershire to make burgers. Worchestershire and butter or brown butter ghee (homemade) is the best thing to put on the burger before and after the flip. Finishing with butter or compound butter is simply better and demonstrably better. Sometimes the Worchestershire goes straight on the patty, but it is always there. 5.5 ounce patties. None of this 4 ounce maybe 5.... If you're making a lot of burgers at the same time, and many of us are feeding family, you want a consistent size for consistent doneness. It you're using fresh chopped beef, I'll do medium rare any day and twice on Sunday. Ground beef has more surface area. I'm just not willing to mess with food poisoning. Fresh chopped beef in clean equipment has nowhere near the same risk. Fresh ground is better than store bought, but the then there is a lot more surface area. Cheese: Muenster, smoked provolone... Either of these are superior to processed cheese singles any day and twice on Sunday. Mozzarella or fresh mozzarella has a place in that list two, but smoked provolone and muenster are both superior. I'm glad Guga was pointing out Babish's knife work. Not to be mean, but seriously people need to know the right way to do it. Anything less is asking for a very serious and deep cut that can be avoided with better technique.

I know this thank you will get lost in the comments section but thank you for that interesting fact about the difference between grinding and cooking your own beef burgers and buying pre ground meat then forming and cooking. It has always been at the back of my mind . That's good food safe advice. Cheers man

The only thing I would change - - - a burger MUST be seasoned with MSG. I make my own burger seasoning blend, which is 60% salt, 30% MSG, 5% onion powder, and 5% garlic powder. Unlike steak - don't EVER use ground black pepper to season a burger. I mean - you can - you won't hurt my feelings.

Yeah, for fries I just buy the bagged ones from the frozen aisle and then throw them into my air fryer. Super easy and super crispy!

I personally prefer pepper, Jack myself but. For even melting and overall coverage of the Patty, American cheese is best. It melts without splitting. I never needed a horror movie chef to tell me that, but it's good that it's now out there in the ether

1:10 Babish messed up - he didn't show himself soaking the sliced potatoes in water to get rid of the extra starch on them. 1:27 Guga, you messed up here. Buying frozen fries like the ones you've shown is not anywhere near as good. They never come at as good as frying them yourself. It ALWAYS pays off to make them yourself.

I don't know what kind of fries you're having usually Guga, but as European I have to say that there is a big difference between frozen packaged fries and homemade fresh fries. And also fresh fries with potato skin are even more delicious.

I totally agree that a rare, or even medium rare burger has an unpleasant texture. I like my steaks medium rare, but for burgers, I want medium to medium well.

Well for me i always make my fries at home in Saindoux = beef or pork fat. They are always delicious and crispy and tender for my taste. Frozen fries are all laced with chemicals, cheap oils and are really not good for your health at all 😞 Fast food chains are the worst of all!!!! We have restaurants in Québec, Canada, where i used to stop to eat quick while going between jobs, they had opened in 1951 and started with one location and today they are everywhere. They use fresh peeled potatoes in every restaurants, uses red potatoes from Québec, animal fat grease, they are blanched first for a few minutes, rest and then cooked on full blast. The staff were all awesome, hard working, the places were all impeccable and well maintained. Last time i had work, 10 years ago, i could get 2 hot-dogs, 1 large fry,1 pepsi bottle for 7.59$ Canadian and be served within 4 minutes at lunch and get my tray!! I went to a new one next to my house, still the same fries and they make their own hot-dogs at their factory as well, still the same but the prices for the same thing now cost 16.00$ Canadians which is just too expensive and i prefer to make them at home now with their hot-dogs sold at my grocery store 🙂

My only quibble is the point that iceberg lettuce is the only lettuce that belongs on a burger. There IS NO LETTUCE that belongs on a burger, at all.
