The burner paradox is so real. All 4 burners “work,” but come on. Only one is truly usable. It’s the big one in the front.

[@AlistairGale]

In my case it’s the top right.

[@LindseyLouWho]

HOW DID YOU KNOW!? My back right one, no matter the setting, always heats up to the temperature of molten lava (I should get that checked out?), but that front right one, she thicc and she know how to cook (just like me bahahaha please send me home now).

[@AJ-ht3kf]

New merch just dropped! lol

[@TheMusicMatt]

I love the concept of you trying to beat cheffy-style dishes with more basic ingredients. I hope it's not too much of an uphill battle, but this is really cool to watch! I almost feel like this could lead an episode idea or series where you get each person to pick a fancy dish they love and show a way that they think they could outcook it with more basic stuff.

[@hazuki413]

That’s a win win right there. For us and them lol

[@ericmiller2608]

I like the idea as well. I would say in this instance, Josh's may still be a bit too fancy. Just because I don't see most people making the bacon jam and also the fried onions.

[@hazuki413]

@@ericmiller2608 I can see myself doing the jam more than the onions, but yeah true.

Josh being so excited his burger got a higher score is just so wholesome. I love this concept and hope there are more on the way!

[@ARabidPie]

Pretty sure by this point its an intentional bit.

[@stalelemonproduction]

I've seen a few different videos on this "make it better" concept, and i love how down to earth Josh is with it. He's not spending 200 dollars to outdo someone or anything, he's just showing how a good burger made with common ingredients stacks up against fast burgers and gourmet stuff

[@ibfitn2bounce917]

if u think that burger only cost 10.50 you're an idiot. use ur damn head and look at the ingredients.

[@TheRealWilliamWhite]

No thats fancy fast food with the 2,3,4 hundred dollar burgers.

[@mpbx3003]

I fully believe that there's a sweet spot on burgers and that fancy ones can't actually be as good as a great mid-tier burger. The burger just isn't a fancy food at heart.

[@lojaned]

I agree, there’s a threshold.

[@helchin93]

This is one that feels approachable, like I could do it in 30 minutes. Definitely not deep frying onion strings, but some storebought onion strings mixed with some sauteed onions seems like it would do the trick.

[@lurchorum]

Bougie burgers are an affront to God. Any chef that tries to charge nearly $40 for a burger should go bankrupt.

[@TehPwnererr69]

Bro even McDonald's is basically $10 for a burger nowadays (in CAD) so yeah for a 5 star restaurant $40 is expected.

[@karanveerplaha1096]

Bros dropping videos at 3 am on a workday. And I'm still watching 😭

[@hazelnutspred3348]

All mythical videos come out at this time of day, 6am est. kind of like morning news

[@kellinomnom]

The 'only one burner works correctly' thing is so true. But from my experience it's only with any kind of ELECTRIC stove top. Gas is the best IMHO

[@samyy1198]

That’s not what he meant..

[@BoofTroupe]

Growing up we had gas burners and only ever really used the one closest to the sink

[@Tomnickles]

My favorite part of this whole thing. Most EVERYONE everywhere hates on American Cheese all the time, but apparently if you have an expensive restaurant that you can charge $37 for it on your hamburger lol.

[@Smex]

I recently bought a mandolin but have been to scared to used it! thank you mythical kitchen for bringing up and endorsing the fact that I can just use my mythical kitchen oven mitt!!!

[@daniellucas5522]

It's nice to see Josh learning and growing and washing his hands without an argument.

[@JustinBakerDeDav]

If there's anything I've learned from watching Try Guys, it's that Chef Josh has "Man Eyes" and just won't see crap right in front of him.

[@blastlightstar]

"Poor object permanence".

[@mickeyconrad8284]

Josh I agree. Bacon tastes great on a burger but you eat the whole piece too often

[@bcaye]

I like it even simpler than Josh. Decent beef, cooked well. Sharp cheddar. Mixed quality mustard and you may as well make your own mayo. Crisp thick cut bacon solves the whole piece issue. Fresh ripe tomato, I want the juice, who like a dry burger? Sliced red nion an crispy romaine. Fresh, whole ingredients.

[@marvinko6610]

You guys should do a Myth Munchers episode on George Motz. Not because I think he is wrong but I would be down for some Burger Myth Munching

[@MrVovansim]

It would be a queen sweep for the Motz. 😂

[@Darapsa]

They have a Burger Myth Munching from May 2021.

[@averyeml]

The thing about sometimes not seeing things right in front of you or just having a complete space-time brain fart is SO real. Once when I was a teenager I was on my cell phone talking to my mom and I literally said “oh hang on mom, I can’t remember where I put my phone” and proceeded to just set the phone down with her on the other end and wander the house for a good 10 minutes before realizing what I’d done

[@Evie-xl8hf]

One burger technique my family has always used is to add any odds and ends INTO the burger patty. Grilling onions? Mince the ends and throw in the meat. Using garlic in a side? Bacon? Mince it up and mix it in! That and grilling the bun and you’re good.

[@slytryhard4743]

8:28 "nothing raw on my hand" proceed to eat with hand covered in raw flour...

[@Ninscholos]

Just watched Try Guys yesterday and Josh has the same problem as Keith: man eyes.

[@br3fl3]

I love a good burger, but how many burgers could you make for $37 - sounds like a robbery, I don't care if it's french 😆

[@ibfitn2bounce917]

if u actually add up his ingredients for his burger he spent over 37 dollars. get a clue.

[@br3fl3]

@@ibfitn2bounce917 cool thanks for doing the math for me

[@GellardTheFox]

Unsure how far ahead they plan Last Meals, but after seeing the burger and Joshua Weissman doing his burger with George Motz, I'd love to see them bring Joshua Weissman on for his Last Meal and have Josh and Josh just geeking about food.

[@pixie9499]

Gwynedd’s little “okay, good, i did it.” with the smile was so cute 😂 you can tell she was proud to just be involved & i love her

[@MikeOrkid]

Worcestershire sauce mixed with your burger meat is absolutely the way to go. Don't need a ton but it's pretty life changing.

[@g4designs944]

This was the first episode Gwyn really seemed to feel comfortable in! Hell yeah!

[@thejmd1971]

I'm so glad that I don't live in a State that the cheapest burger is $4.19.

[@BPAkuji]

Cheese burger at In-N-Out is $2.88 no idea why they went with a $4 burger from 7-11..?

[@mushymama805]

@@BPAkuji I'm guessing because they all know what In-N-Out tastes like, and most likely do not know what a 7-11 tastes like.

Josh's favorite burger looks like it was made as a tribute to a swamp. Why am I not surprised at how wet it is.

[@Packal24]

I love this concept and Josh and Gwynedd are hilarious together.

[@GregDittman]

3:18 "flavor sponge" is what you're searching for Josh

[@Alianbow]

I have a particular sauce I like that I make, it's 2 parts mayo, 1 part ketchup, 2-3 parts prepared horseradish (adjust based on the bite you want I like mine particularly bitey), and then season with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Been playing around with different ratios but so far that seems to be the sweet spot. Thought about adding mustard but as it stands, it doesn't really need it. I use it for everything, though I find myself using it more for a sandwich sauce or most often a dip for chicken nuggets. Figured I'd share it because it popped into my head when you mentioned Donkey Sauce.

[@ibfitn2bounce917]

wow, u literally just named a sauce i've seen made a million times from multiple people. pinterest has it

[@totallygabby]

these videos keep me sane! love the work! keep it up!
