Man that burger was insane. Can’t stop thinking about it since the shoot 🤩 Cheers for having me back man and congrats again on the anniversary!🎉

is it better than the henrys burger you tried Chris during the yamanote line speed run adventure 😁😁

BLAKCOWS was very good, my boss bought it for me at my former workplace! Also, I personally recommend the following burger stores in Tokyo. 1、Shake Tree Burger & Bar 2, MUNCH'S BURGER SHACK Shiba Koen 3, HENRY'S BURGER Daikanyama

As an owner of a flatiron burger smasher and cast iron devotee, this is doing it right. And videos like this make me happy to see the cultural exchanges that enrich our experiences. Mr. Bourdain would be proud.

The caramelized lattice that the edges of smashburgers get is unmatched, in my opinion

[@SuperSeytan666]

Lettuce* and it doesn't belong in any brgr... onions and pickles at max.. otherwise just meat and cheese.

[@SuperKendoman]

Lettuce

[@Tony_8]

@@SuperSeytan666 Pretty sure OP meant lattice as in the texture of something. If you look at a lattice fence, it has a criss cross pattern similar to the edge of a smashburger pressed onto the grill with a flat iron.

😅kids menus in the uk are typically just opportunities for disappointment, it’s almost always nuggets, fish fingers, burgers all served with a choice of baked beans or overcooked peas, chips or mash. & they’ll occasionally have a cheese pizza & a spaghetti with tomato sauce. Usually the cheapest quality of nuggets, burgers & sausages, cause y’know, “kids don’t count as customers”. 😢

Around Portland OR there's loads of carts and restaurants that have glammed up versions of everything, but I can't think of many examples of an over the top "kids" meal.
