The raw onion and raw interior of the THICK patties ruin it for me. Though the unmelted cheese is simply criminal.

[@Dan-yw9sg]

I really miss his live shows! Great recipes and a great relation with the audiences!

[@MicDeluxx]

This was a Chill Burger Catastrophe. The bun to meat ratio reminds me of the Wendy's "Where's the beef?" Commercial.

[@tmmrtn]

I couldn't stop thinking about this. I paused on the overhead shot of it and was berating my computer screen. This is how your mom shapes hamburger patties, not a professional chef. And these untoasted, oversized, dry buns!? I do think Emeril knew the problem, but what can he do? He's on TV in front of a live studio audience. He doesn't prep these ingredients and has to work with what his crew has given him.

[@Landon_Lucas]

That burger is too small for the bun

[@richyoung4051]

not only that but the fuckin cheese is hard and not melted at all. that burger looked dry and sad as hell. realy shocking coming from a pro chef

[@chefethanguo9701]

Hey, no swearing here. That is distasteful and unwise, especially on social media. Everyone is looking at this, you know.

[@PipeMan1958]

@@richyoung4051 "Burger look dry", what are you talking about, the burgers were dangerously raw.

[@ray7419]

Awesome recipe. Really miss his show. And Jill is a cutie. lol

[@craigwilson3532]

Yea she is, "aw yea babe"

[@MrGeroth]

Great man and Chef.

[@TheJjrjr125]

I always know I can hit that 👍 before it even gets started with Emeril's videos.

[@timthomas1238]

He didn’t toast the bun !

[@ipdjbt]

Talk about an easy to please crowd... I can't imagine them on bingo night.

[@finnkrisp4968]

Adds some chili powder. Crowd goes wild.

[@wa2k99]

And?

[@seeare4959]

LMAO. 4 real!

[@Game-ib3ql]

RIP Emeril, love him

[@michaelanderson6456]

This was a terrible experience, grill the buns. Cold buns have no flavor. And the chili was just flavored ground chuck..this was not buyable chili for digestive purpose

[@johnselwitz5362]

Entirely too much onion

[@petemoss9693]

Hmmmmmmmmm wish I had one right about NOW ! Your the BEST Emeril

[@Satchel334]

Love it!

[@queenofspades8219]

Hey thanks

[@bashajohnny3711]

I love Emeril.

[@ZeroDeg]

The bun was twice the size of burger. Should made a bigger Patti to fit bun. In grilled the burger n onion n bun.
