It's so wholesome but I think it's hilarious how there's not a single Alvin video without him mentioning that he shared the food with everybody

[@AccAkut1987]

he's like my grandma, always afraid someone may go hungry

[@DrumsetManiac91]

​@@screechingweasel34 nothing crazy, Alvin just recently uploaded a new video to his personal channel after like 2 years since the last one.

They should reach out to Alvin and invite him to see their kitchen and experience the actual burger. Would really be great to see Alvin finally go there.

[@somefreshbread]

Did you watch the last couple of minutes where they ate one?

[@Jchmcom]

@@somefreshbread I did, but the ambience of a restaurant adds so much to the eating experience.

[@canrex7540]

I really appreciate that you show your mistakes and the steps you take to salvage the ingredients

[@etialpti9930]

Really great video! To me though it feels like a shame when restaurants use Wagyu for a burger since a lot of it's appeal is in the structure of the meat itself which is lost in grinding. It has the same energy as putting gold leaf on a milkshake lol.

[@de_la_Nae]

for my sanity's sake, if nothing else, i have to assume they're all doing like Arby's does, and it's cut with more common ground beef varieties. 51/49%, that sort of thing

I like how casual Alvin just says "yeah the paper towel caught fire, so that's pretty cool", like the most jaded millennial who's just been through everything and takes it as it goes

[@tomjohns2208]

When I saw Alvin take that first bite of the chopped cheese. I. Was. Shook. That bun was HUGE

[@somefreshbread]

Alvin still has PTSD from the two giant burgers he made - he's incapable of making a normal-sized bun

I love Alvin, his skills, his voice, and the way he presents everything! 🤗🥰

[@MaverickMario]

So refreshing to hear someone ACTUALLY pronounce Worcestershire sauce

[@chrisjfinlay]

The funny thing is, a lot of us in the UK (especially if you're from the North) would often just pronounce it as "WOO-ster" sauce

[@_Brief_]

After how often Babish intentionally mispronounces it, I was blown away by how close Alvin was!

With super fatty ground beef one trick is to borrow from meatloaf a bit and put an egg into the ground beef to help bind it.

[@athena1289x]

This is the earliest I’ve ever been, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

Alvin is using so much wagyu, he should team up with Guga

[@kylelang1815]

Mister alven I injoy how you present mistakes in your videos and everything looks so delicious and your very professional with your mannerisms keep up the amazing work and Andy too

[@JohnFoley1701]

Eating the burger on the street with all the juice running down your shirt seems like the best way to experience a $70 sandwich.

[@GrainneDhub-ll6vw]

Alvin is adorable, I always love his videos. He's welcome to be my younger brother any time.

[@alucide]

I don't understand wagyu burgers. The main thing about wagyu is the marbling, which doesn't matter when grinding up the meat. Making this a very expensive, hardly better than basic ground beef, burger.

[@bored-z2397]

in short, you haven't tried it

[@PerfectlyImperfectCookingYT]

To say I crave a cheeseburger now is a gross understatement 😫 Amazing content 👍🏻

[@Smurfman256]

Here's one to try out: The 60/40 Burger from The Red Cow in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. The patty is 60% ground beef, 40% ground bacon, topped with sharp cheddar and candied bacon strips served on a toasted bun with honey Dijon mustard.

[@michaelscott6022]

Make a burger with Wagyu beef... and American cheese. I can _taste_ the dishonor...

[@beezrow]

Was looking for this comment 😂 cheese product on wagyu beef 😤

[@kevinjoy122]

the real wagyu cheeseburger is the friends we make at the end by sharing

[@fashdag]

For anyone who wants ground wagyu without spending huge amounts of money- 70-75% ground beef will give you a near identical result.

[@lord0jackostar]

I kinda want a Scraps & Sides series, where Alvin, Kendall, and Babish if he can, use up the leftovers, screwups, and failed bits from other recipes. Kinda like the little extra recipes Alvin does in the middle of making a main episode; but a whole studio thing. I imagine the fridges and freezers would hold some magic.

[@joshuabeatty7371]

Only problem with waygu unless you blend it with another type of beef the burger would lose half of it's mass.

[@Zelmel]

Gotta love the "chef" or overall "TV" style of cooking where they're using nonstick with big commercial kitchen metal spatulas.

[@blendervendor2220]

"Wuzershire...." we were this close to greatness

[@MrChris20912]

Ground Wagyu is showing up more in the grocery stores these days, I might be able to afford to make one of these for myself! Fascinating to see the reference burger at the end, especially the extra thick bacon aspect. Not sure if I'm ready to smoke and cure my own pork belly into thick glazed bacon, but amazing to see!

[@ajsepti5827]

I really miss babish being on babish's channel

You guys NEED to do a recipe from Delicious in Dungeon, I’d love to see your interpretations of their monster ingredients

[@grantpryan]

Looks exactly like the burger I had at Au Cheval...best I ever had, easily. Probably the only way to improve upon it is to have wagyu patties like this

[@TawnyPixie]

I love that we got to see Alvin experience the original restaurant burger too! His excitement is infectious! ❤

[@Cowdude7]

It's actually a crime that KZbin played a McDonalds ad before this video.

[@somefreshbread]

"Hey you. Yeah you: the poor one. You can't afford this burger. Buy our slop."

[@Khazandar]

I dunno, using this kind of beef for grinding defeats the point of the meat, IMO. Dry-aged burgers, I understand. But this? Nah.

[@skyem5250]

that burger looks tasty but Alvin is the real snack in this video

[@johnhull2582]

I've had Wagyu burgers in four-star hotel restaurants. It's a waste of wagyu.

[@tomomi1]

Not that anyone cares, but the song playing in the background is called Matcha Latte by Universal Production Music.

Really enjoying the Alvin episodes!

[@DaemonPrimarch]

I hate to say it, but I doubt there's any way a burger could be worth $70 in my mind.

[@greg2151]

We've been making wagyu cheeseburgers every week or so for a year now, and we've tried our own grinding of different steaks, but we prefer the ground beef straight from the local wagyu farm. It breaks apart less. Know your farmer :)

[@TheNoerdy]

ADVENTURES WITH ALVIN NEXT!!!!!!

[@MysticJhn]

Look, I'm not questioning that those burgers are tasty, that's a given. However, a $70 burger is pompous and is 100% due to the overprice of Wagyu. If Wagyu didn't have its famous name, that burger is a fairly basic cheeseburger. Even that whatever named sauce isn't any more complex than McDonald's. I've not yet tried Wagyu myself to judge its taste compared to any other beef, but there is no normal burger that is worth $70. There is no way Wagyu is that much better than any other beef (and, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't grinding it negate its value?) to be worth the price. This burger is being sold on its namesake more than its actual taste. Without the Wagyu name, there's absolutely nothing special about that burger. At least not $70 special.

[@thelittleblackprince3114]

When fire: Normal people: AAAAA- Alvin: cool!

[@ricardotclarke]

As a burger lover, I think 2 patties is over the top, one patty that big should be the sweet spot for this burger, but it looks GREAT!

[@FoxeyeValkyrie]

Imagine making a burger with wagyu...and then slapping American Cheese on it.

[@dillonwright13]

Hey Alvin, can you ask Andrew to do the Jelly Doughnut Burgers from “Out of Jimmy’s Head”, specifically the “Soda” episode for a future Binging with Babish?

[@d4nrar]

How much did the ingredients for your burger cost?

[@daystormca]

So I have a question that is off topic. How would you define sausage? I would define it as ground or finely choped meat, or veggies for our vegan friends, that is smoked,cured or otherwise cooked with aromatic spices with or without a casing. This definition would include Italian, polish, gyos, and falafel in my mind.

[@markreinink6364]

That looks so delicious!

[@lumynoxx]

First time here. I saw "Cheeseburger" and "Alvin" in the title and thought maybe Babish was doing a collab with Alvin Caillan. No such luck, but stayed for the whole video anyway & subbed.

[@KrislLeon]

I would highly reccommend, next time you want sweet bacon, to instead coat the bacon liberally with brown sugar and black pepper before baking off in a 425 degree oven. or, if you want some extra kick, you can sub the black pepper with cayenne.

[@farziakarim3087]
