Dead Dad's Kitchen | Burgers w/ Christian Pierce!

Hi my littlest bundles of iceberg lettuce!!!
Today I had my very good, funny, and long time friend Christian Pierce (@capstagramm on Instagram) on the show!!! We talk about high school, Real Bros of Simi Valley and my ardent hate for grills.
ALSO, DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT REAL BROS!!!

______________________________
| Smashburgers |
2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 package of burgy buns
Unsalted butter
American (or literally whatever cheese you like)
Toppings and condiments up to you, but here are some ideas:
Ketchup
Mustard
Mayo
Pickles
Onions (raw or grilled)
Tomato
Lettuce
You get it
Bring your skillet/flattop/griddle to a medium-high heat and add your butter.
Toast your buns until golden brown and transfer to a wire rack in a low oven (200f).
Add more butter and put your measured out burger balls onto the surface. Season to taste. Smash until as thin as you like (they shrink!)
Flip after 2-3 minutes or crispy and crunchy on the bottom.
Season this side as well with some salty pep.
Add your cheese
Pull your buns out of the oven WITH MITS and assemble!

As always thank you to my very good friend/producer/director AJ Lodge (@aj.lodge) for filming and being my buddy. I wouldn't be able to do this without you.
Thank you again as always to Juliet Piper (@julietpipermusic) for writing my beautiful intro that I love so dearly. You can find more of her work on all music streaming services as well as her Instagram!

I agree with you Irene, Christian is a beautiful man but he doesn't know his condiments. Mayo is freaking delicious!

I just left links to two random clips of him from back in the day that I remember thinking he was EXTREMELY cute in. These are both either very random sketches or outtakes, but they're kind of cool. They're not indicative of his work whatsoever, so definitely check out Simmi Valley after you watch the clips if you want

[@zoeduboismusic6944]

I swear I'll never get tired of the opening credits haha

[@irenewalton]

Dude. Juliet and AJ killed it on that one. I love it so much.

[@sviolet892]

Oh my gosh the completely serous look he gives the camera at 8:46 is simply the funniest thing to ever happen in my life 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jsizzle_531]

She laughs like the fairy from Sesame Street and I LOVE HER SO MUCH

[@irenewalton]

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

Okay Irene is literally friends with all of the people I wish I was friends with lol, I need to be more of an Irene for real.

[@reaunamaughon]

“FOR FREE???”

[@TabithaJenica]

Christian: I’m just gunna wait a bit Irene: honestly, that’s such a good idea *goes in for another bite* 😂😂

[@oh_no_its_jose9397]

Irene: i know everything about you Me in my head: OKAY STALKER (not really) but same

[@xoshannonigansox]

Irene is literally the most genuine person on this platform. The way she interacts with others is so endearing!

[@sviolet892]

I use all of Irene's "how to make bread good" content every day of my life

[@Adultolescent]

At 19:37, Irene dying the whole time, honestly made my day. I haven't seen her laugh that hard in a while.

[@beccasdead]

Irene- "are you ready to smash" Cap- "is that a-" me- *laughing uncontrollably for five minutes straight*

Dead Dad's Kitchen is like a better form of the Bachelorette, where we all just get to observe their chemistry in the kitchen. This guy is a winner.

[@catibowman9557]

Ilysm❤️ This made my quarantined day

[@ericm3088]

Can we talk about how chill Irene is with cooking? Like, she is following steps but not too heavily. “Is this good?” Sure! “How does that look?” Great! “Will it be okay? “ Absolutely! “Did I make a mistake?” Nah fam, you good! She IS the hype train.

[@MonkeyQueen39]

Editor.....you're fired....lol. you sooo missed the opportunity to throw in the SpongeBob reference about...."you forgot the pickles!!!"🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hannahsamantha7247]

It’s the best intro on KZbin, hands down.

[@stephaniemiller2018]

I'm THE question asker alllll of the time. 😂 You're most definitely not alone, girl!

[@kurististurgill4928]

Irene’s laugh is so contagious. I love it, it suits her so well. She genuinely seems like such an outgoing and fun person to be around.

[@msaughtsix]

Been working ridiculous hours and trying to adjust during these crazy times. FYI to everyone, please give love to those in veterinary medicine as we are still here for your fur kids. I needed this great video and a good laugh now that I finally have a day off. Sending love to everyone who is being affected by this weird and uncomfortable situation we are all dealing with. Check in on your friends, family and neighbors. Don’t over buy stuff you don’t need and there’s no better time than now to utilize KZbin and brush up on those cooking skills. Love you Irene! Stay healthy and safe!

[@Claire-kz3ku]

Not to be dramatic but Irene might be the best human on earth

[@rainotter]

He's pretty as hell. Even my husband thinks so. Hehe. Irene, you're wonderful and beautiful usual!

I love how much Irene hypes her friends. Like I wish I could be friends with her because that ego boost and all the love just would mean the world to me. And those burgers looked so damn good.

[@p4lestine]

Irene Walton you’re very welcome queenie !

[@thedoodlegremlin]

I cannot help but feel that the edits where Irene touches C.A.P is a direct Easter egg to Trixie and Katya’s show “Unhhhhhh” ....... Irene please tell me if that’s correct!

[@jade7235]

Yesss. I noticed that too! I really hope it's a reference to "Unhhhhh"

[@marywaters6752]

This is literally the funniest thing I have ever watched! Irene, your videos are just pure happiness!

Thank you, Irene. You show me I'm not the only giggling lady in the kitchen. The way you deliver cooking knowledge in such an easy relatable way is different than most other food videos. Also, your genuine love of food and friends and laughter is golden!

[@katiecervantes280]

hi irene, i just wanted to thank you for making a really funny video and posting it right now for us. a lot of youtubers are making content about the current pandemic, and seeing educational and funny content like this is really refreshing, so thank you 🥺🤍

this video made my day ty for making this

[@irenewalton]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@thehoneybeequeen]

So I’m lying in bed, it’s 5:30am and I’m too afraid to move. No idea why, but I couldn’t bring myself to turn out the light until I watched this video. Irene’s videos make me feel so warm and fuzzy, I truly do feel so much better. Hopefully I get some sleep before my schedule goes completely out the window

[@callieb96]

He passes the vibe check! They get along so well and it shows on camera

[@dianaw4072]

This was so fun to watch! 🤗 Makes me want a burger!

[@sviolet892]

Oh my gosh the souuuuund it made when the bit into those burgersssss!!!! I need oneeeeee they look soooo amazinggggg

[@evielemay1526]

Usually I skip the info of videos, but for Irene’s videos I watch them 3 times over ☺️

[@nathaliamelo2679]

So i'm gonna need you to bring this man back on the channel at least 1 a month cause he is YUMMY

[@16ASHleyN]

The editing is on point "heart will break in 3, 2, 1... I hate mayonaise" 😂

[@kparker905]

I never would have imagined this crossover but I am soo jealous of Irene right now. Wait, I just got to the part about how you've known him for a while and aww, that's cool, I had no idea! I have been watching Jimmy and Christian (and I guess you in some vids) since the 'When the Beat Drop' video came out, when I was in middle school, and now I'm 21. Also, I agree that he is a beautiful man

[@josemariaacosta4994]

I love how flirty they both were, what a joy!!!

[@chloel.4861]

This was my favorite DDK so far. The vibe was just so fun lol

[@celinabinkley6978]

I literally love Irene with my entire heart! She is so precious and I love this channel so much!! But I am over here falling in love with Christian.. How is so FREAKING GORGEOUS, FUNNY, AND TALENTED??????? Sheesh, I cannot wait to watch the Real Bros of Simi Valley and be a fan forever!! But, also i 100% ship Irene and Christian, I felt love and attraction through the camera lol and she did say she fell in love with him when they first met after her brother introduced them. Although, I am sure they are truly just amazing friends and now that it is 5 months later, I know Irene is very happy with her man! But still Irene and Christian would be the cutest and best couple

[@leahkitty377]

Ok Irene laughing so hard that she spit out her food into the sink IS ME

[@keliannapanos1248]

A restaurant style flat top cooking surface (the whole surface will be metal and flat and heats entirely) is called a grill! That's why they say they're fresh from the grill!
