New York's Fanciest Burger Is Hidden Inside an Iconic Department Store - Icons

[@Tellyfive]

Considering a burger and fries at Five Guys is $20ish this seems like a deal.

[@crys383]

Any burger you can't fit in your mouth without crushing it is done incorrectly. A tower burger is for aesthetics, not enjoyment.

[@patriciagurwitz509]

Don’t get so concerned about the details, most of us would definitely enjoy eating that burger🤣🥴👍🏼

[@crys383]

@patriciagurwitz509 I would agree if deconstructing a burger was acceptable but burgers are intended to be the regular person's meal. You're not meant to eat it with a knife and fork. I agree that it looks delicious but you can't eat it with one hand.

[@dinckelman]

“Other places offer an 8oz burger but we offer 6.5oz so the customer enjoys it more” is this something i’m too poor to understand?

[@Cryotyde]

Probably alluding to the higher quality beef that's used in the smaller burger.

[@NoswadObet]

@@Cryotydeyeah yeah that’s right?

[@noahkirkpatrick8912]

I'm on the same page as this guy maybe just half the book and probably a different language.

[@burntjello5667]

I think he's trying to imply that customers will get full before finishing an 8oz burger that's why they do 6.5 so they enjoy the entire burger.

[@gageracer]

Your best bite is the first one then it goes down. Eventually you will feel full and not enjoy the food. That's why fancy places have really small portions. So you finish craving for more and that's how you remember it.

[@eagerdreams333]

we want to make it easier to eat, that is why we choose a 6.5 oz patty. Let me add a bunch of slippery avocado and tomato to the bottom to completely negate what I just said.

[@ricksierra9678]

I took him saying easier into context of finishing. Because I know sometimes I try to finish a big burger it's hard for me because I'm stuff. That's just my thoughts.

[@Anthony2X19]

That’s not what he said or meant lol.

[@gauravshukla71]

I will never get the urge to avocado to everything. In guac - great since it's the base for the other ingredients. Other than that it just annoys me that so many great sandwiches and burgers have it. It's almost tasteless. In that sauce he made e.g. he already had mayo. Why did he need the avocado for creaminess?

[@Guyherenow]

Yet another case of "taller than it is wide", a plague on the restaurant burger world for as long as I can remember. Fancy restaurant chefs, please repeat this 3 times before every service - "Burgers should be wider than they are all". Thank you.

[@FabianLopez49]

But did they make the cheese in house?

[@dhruvshetty6190]

Actually the cheese which you asked if it was made in house or no, which as they mentioned they make everything in house - all the ingredients, you would think the cheese would also be made in house.. but even if they do or do not make the cheese that they use on the burger, which if made in house would prove his point that everything was made in house and at the same time answer your question but funnily enough the type of cheese that they used for this burger can be sourced from outside or made in house depending on various circumstances.. now having said that i am no cheese expert let alone cheese made in house expert so hopefully this answers your question

[@thephore]

[@Joe-nb3fs]

I am guessing they don't make the sambal, either.

[@curzon394x]

Odd segment this one. Buddy on the mandolin making fries with just a glove and no protector is wild. The sear, oven, sear for a 6.5oz patty is odd. The stack of the burger with the avo and tomato under the patty is odd. Also how does the chef expect people to "feel at home" when they are at a fancy department store restaurant eating a $34 dollar burger?! Chef is out of touch.

[@prunetracy7651]

Can't get behind burgers built like this. Looks delicious, but it's way too tall and the bun looked super greasy. $50 for a burger and fries is also pretty aggressive.

[@anasevi9456]

It is very impressive and def worth doing, but really not much of a hat trick for a restaurant of that calibre. Any place that charges more than $15 per burger should be making potato or brioche buns in house. It's not something I'm bothered to do more than a couple of times a year; but making your own at home is definately worth doing as the ones I make taste a lot better than anything you could find at a bakery. It's not easy, but it's not super hard either; just takes a solid recipe, practice and an eye for what is correct, which will come with practice.

Thank you #dapitalOne for sponsoring this video and special thanks to the entire team at #Eater for always taking us on a new and exciting adventure. Appreciate Chef Domenech opening up his kitchen and sharing his processes. I really wonder why these top rated custom burger restaurants always have to overload the burger? Excluding my hatred of avocados I think his special sauce takes away from the most important part of the burger - the meat.

@@Tykeronia Allow me to explain how online businesses works. Eater is not made up of volunteers. Sponsorship pays the production of these videos and they like to know that they are getting brand awareness for their dollars. So acknowledging sponsors helps Eater stay in business and make videos.

[@bobbykeene12]

Did she put any yeast into the potato buns or did they rise without the need for it?

[@thephore]

oh yeah for sure like the yeast thing is such a big deal because without it how would the buns even rise but then you start thinking about rising like what does it mean for something to rise anyway like is it just about getting bigger or is it about potential like maybe the dough already had the potential in it and yeast is just the thing that reminds it to grow and if she didn’t show the yeast maybe it’s because yeast doesn’t like to be seen you know like how shadows only exist because there’s light and you can’t really separate one from the other so maybe the yeast was there the whole time even if it wasn’t added directly because yeast is basically like a metaphor for life right always working quietly in the background like gravity or dreams and who’s to say the potatoes themselves didn’t have some kind of memory of yeast from the earth where they grew and that’s why the buns rose like the earth itself is the yeast and that’s kind of the beauty of it when you think about it

As a Chef and a student of Nutrition, we severely overindulge. An 80/20 burger, two slices of cheese, avocado and mayonnaise, a potato bun with a side of potatoes. I’m saying forget about the health aspect of that, but that much fat and starch is not a pleasurable eating experience, in my opinion. We can do a lot better as chefs than to lean on fat and starch and call it fine dining.
