My dude you have to use the hand guard when you use a mandoline. It gives me anxiety just watching someone rawdog a slicer like that.

[@kristinwright6632]

I can't abide those clunky hand guards. But I also like my fingers just where they are. So I got a no-cut glove. Highly recommend!

[@josephwest124]

I was about to post a similar thought. I also find it a bit ironic when you'll see someone using a knife to slice something very thinly (and often fairly quickly) but they get squeamish at the very thought of using a mandoline.

[@TheHaubs11tx]

I’ve never used a guard I go to where I’m comfortable and then it gets put in a vacuum, sealed freezer bag for stew later cut down on food waste all buy an extra three potatoes if I’m doing like an au gratin or something of the same nature so that I can get the amount I want and then I just Passed that along to the next dish and what’s a potato $.20 so $.20-$.60 so that I can feel safe and have something for another meal…esta bien

[@TheGreyJayLP]

If you leave the root on you can use that as a hand guard

[@ericfuchs123]

This is the most awful way you could have phrased this D:

[@kerseyHarding]

As a Portlander, I am offended that you would think Portlanders would add sugar to ground beef. We would make an organic and locally sourced lentil burger before adding sugar to it and charge you an additional $10 and call it a culinary experience

[@fuzzybanana0123]

Lentil burger lmao. Get that hipster garbage out of here.

[@dirtyfiendswithneedles3111]

Sounds actually gross. I don’t like sweet meat. Not even honey baked ham. Almost as unappealing as his hair color.

[@ArthropodJay]

but there's no sales tax!

[@hundragant]

Portlander here too and agree

[@iiota]

True but tokyo sando does have a pork/chicken katsu sandwich which basically has Japanese BBQ sauce and tartar sauce and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever eaten so he’s not exactly wrong…

[@roxanne533]

Amazon sells cut proof gloves that you can wear when using your mandolin. Highly recommend!

[@DarkElfofVulcan]

Pretty sure he's taking these burgers to the extreme of what they could be, because in Wisconsin butter-burgers are just, burgers. But you butter the bun. Not with tablespoons of it, unless that's your fancy, but a normal sandwich amount of butter. Usually has normal toppings as well, whatever you like. Lettuce, tomato, pickle, peppers, whatever you please.

[@tuckfexass]

No, this is spot-on for an onion burger. It’s exactly how we cook them here in Oklahoma.

[@JeffO-]

@@tuckfexass It originates in Wisconsin though, supposedly, so they may be done that way in OK, but at places like Culvers, the OP is correct.

[@tuckfexass]

No sweetie. The Oklahoma onion burger goes back to the Great Depression LONG before the Culver’s were even born

[@kinggame40]

@@tuckfexass i think you may have misread honey, the comment is about the butter burger, not the onion one hun.

[@gtothereal]

No this butter burger is based on one from a specific restaurant and it uses that much butter.

I think the beauty of burgers is the simplicity and versatility. They can be as complex or as straight forward as you want and there are endless variations. Love George Motz, too, he's so enthusiastic and fun, it's awesome!

[@timpeterson2278]

A couple of years ago my family and I embarked upon a "Burger Journey" wherein we ate our way through George Motz's, "The Great American Burger Book." We rated and reflected on each one, eventually settling on a top five: 5. The Bacon Avocado Toast Burger 4. The Butter Burger 3. The Jucy Lucy 2. The Pimento Cheese Burger 1. The Fried-Onion Burger You made some great choices in your video!

[@MattXShaver]

Ohioan here. Thanks for the Swenson’s pick! It’s great and they have lots of variations.

[@kw1535]

Gah. I haven’t gotten that far yet but love when people try swensons!

[@moira329]

David I love watching you make burgers because while they might be simple, they are easy to screw up. I feel like which each burger you just keep on improving. So I say make burgers for as long as you want. Plus you can get creative with the ingredients and toppings. Maybe you can create a signature David burger.

[@kristinwright6632]

Since this was posted just a few hours ago I will put this comment here in hopes you will see it. I now watched your giant Parmesan Regiano wheel episode. Tell your mother that from one mother to another I adore her. "I need my kitchen and my son". Perfect!

[@cardwellave2]

Galley Boy burgers are good, I would say the ones from Swensons do not have a whole lot of sauce on them and the sugar is definitely not burnt. Everything about it is subtle.

[@CarlRencer]

they aren't smashed either. at least not how he did it. and you need the velveeta.

[@deniseheins2133]

We make the onion burgers but we put the onions down first, then put the beef on top the bun. I also season the ground beef with - gasp - dry ranch seasoning. They are delicious.

[@emac059]

That sounds like a wild taste experience! I need to try!

[@paulwagner688]

Dyer's in Memphis has been using the same grease in those deep fried burgers for over a century.

[@MxPxRawxMySawx]

Make a trip to Ohio and try an actual Galley Boy. You can't knock it until then.

[@paigeb6297]

Viva la Motz!!!! Glad to see a fellow fan boy put these burgers to the test. I can say the only thing I feel like Motz got wrong was ws definitely put cheese on our butter burgers here in Wisconsin ❤

[@beauvogames]

A George Motz themed video is an excellent idea! He's brilliant and this was really fun 😊🍔

[@rhiannonrecommends]

This just means youre gonna have to get your behind out to good ol' El Reno, Oklahoma off route 66 and get you a real onion burger!

[@sunnyg2024]

Loved how simple the recipes were. I'm def gonna try the butter burger but will use the Kinder's butter seasoning instead of just salt. I never get tired of any of your videos so keep them coming.

[@SaiyanABlazeNinja]

this was actually a crazy watch even after all your other burger vids David, that first sight of the deep fried burger literally made my jaw drop!

[@roxymanasquan9087]

At 4:13 the face on the Stubb's BBQ sauce label changed! Who WAS that?

Love the video keep it coming I’m going to try this at home

[@anthonybott6923]

7:52 I think one important missed part of the deep fried burger is that it’s fried in beef talon from past fried burgers. Not saying it’s better for you. But it makes a massive difference in flavor

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Thanks For this david! Love your content😊😊😊❤❤

[@Ian-rk3co]

As an Ohio-an, I absolutely love the Swensons galley boy. Maybe try it with a little less brown sugar and some Velveeta over the craft single. So so good.

[@ErinChamberlain]

David, I'm a resident of a suburb of Cleveland, OH. The Swenson's burger is not great, tbh, as you found out lol. What I can tell you, at nearly 50 years old (turning 50 on the 11th of this month YIKES), the single BEST Smash burger I'ver EVER had is from a little dive bar in Eastlake, OH called Crowleys. It just won an award for the best Smash burger in Cleveland. It. Is. Incredible. If you're ever traveling through, because, let's face it, no one is traveling to Cleveland for fun lol, stop in and try one. LOVE your channel

[@jadethegingergoblin718]

There's a Swenson's right down the road from my house, but I've only been there once. I need to go back. It was so good.

[@kw1535]

Go back! I don’t love galley boys, but pick my own toppings. Fried mushrooms, potato teezers and onion rings are all great. Shakes are fab.

[@thomashendricks9774]

I make my kids burgers in the Air Fryer and they love it, it's their favorite way for burgers to be cooked.

Highly recommend either making smash burgers outside with your cast iron on a grill or with a VERY powerful hood because your house *will* smell like beef for a week lol

[@Eclyptical]

4:30 this is hilarious because I literally just had one for the first time last weekend😂

[@tiffanymac1162]

Baby, as an Akron native. It’s northeast Ohio. And what you made is not really a Galley Boy. The brown sugar is subtle.

[@Megan_1818]

Had to come to the comments when he said it’s from central Ohio 😆

[@Doctors_TARDIS]

And the BBQ sauce and tarter sauce they serve are also NOTHING like the premade stuff he used

Just watching this made me get my ass up and go to the gym 😭 These all look so good though!!

Wisconsinite here: Just go to Culver's for a Butter Burger. They're pretty tasty. Though, get the cheeseburger and condiments. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to the cheese curds for your side.

[@madlynsattler7006]

Onion burger is from Sids in El Reno Oklahoma

[@shirleygilchrest2187]

Now I want a burger!!!

[@stuartmayberry666]

I believe it’s White Mana in Jersey City that invented the slider/steamed bun method. I also enjoyed the little jab at Portland as it’s not too far off. That said, if you find yourself in Portland, go check out Lo’s Burgers inside Creepy’s Bar in SE. They have a twist on the OK onion burger that has not just the caramelized onions but also fresh onion slices and deep-fried crunchy onions. It is a delight, but probably a once every 6 months sort of meal.

[@G.T.PleaseTryIt]

Hey David, I like your way to describe the different tipes of food that you eat and I can understand almost every word you say so every video is a new food esperiece and a free english lesson where I try to learn many words as possible to try to use them in my videos. I wanted to say thank you so much for the really nice job you are doing, keep going like this. ah subscribed!

[@kw1535]

Swenson’s is great, but I’m also not a galley boy kind of gal. I think you put a bit too much sugar in the meat- it shouldn’t caramelize/burn like that. Drive on down (to northeast Ohio, not central), get a burger made however you like, some potato teezers and a milkshake. Be sure to tip the carhops more than seems necessary. 😂

[@thomasnoe1193]

Swensons! Yeah, the added sugar in the ground beef is one of those love it or hate it things -- even for the Akronites among us. I must admit I've enjoyed a Galley Boy or two in my days, but anymore, I'd rather have the fried fish sandwich, a coney dog, or a sloppy joe. If nothing else, the Galley Boy is a UNIQUE burger!

[@kw1535]

I’ve never seen anyone else besides me order the fish sandwich haha used to get it all the time!

[@gtothereal]

The swensons burger is much better with some toppings. Pickle onion and even bacon to cut through the sugar.

[@adampavelec857]

FWIW, the Galley Boy is from northeast Ohio, not central Ohio - Akron, specifically. I’ve always felt that in addition to brown sugar, there’s also a subtle touch of cinnamon in there as well. A great burger indeed! And don’t knock the olive! For whatever reason, it just works! If you ever make it out here, definitely visit the OG location! And as a side quest, you’ve definitely gotta experience a Romanburger from Mr. Hero!

[@robbiedaniels2164]

I've waited years for you to do a george motz episode. Given your love of burgers.

[@15oClock]

When the video started, I thought the patina on your cast iron needed work. Then you cooked several burgers, and now it's well seasoned. Nice.

[@klubberzvonhatzenbuhl563]

Clicked like before even watching the video. Because I already KNOW I’m gonna like it.

[@pauljenni2838]

"You don't have to spend $12 on them" yet George charges, like, $200 for his patty smasher, LOL.

[@pauljenni2838]

Another wonderful video, I was waiting for this one! Please more random regional burgers! I think George over-emphasized their splendor on account of their uniqueness, and I trust your take a little more (like with the brown sugar burger).

[@shaqtaku]

[@ItsJustLisa]

I don’t understand deep frying a burger. The caramelization from smashing will get it sufficiently crispy. Having been born and raised in Wisconsin, I can fully attest to the butter burger. But that last one with the onions looks amazing. I need to make bun have smash burgers soon.

[@miri6220]

I’ve not had the galley boy, but i have had swensons cheeseburgers before, & my biggest complaint with their normal burgers is just that i feel their burger patties don’t have really any flavor. i feel they rely on toppings for flavor. my sister likes galley boys tho 😂

[@futurefreefall4697]

When u make a smash burger - smash the meat ball super super thin otherwise you have a dry burger -/ you want to smash the burger paper thin as smashing releases the juices so the harder the smash - yes you need to put some elbow grease into it the more juicy the smash burger will be as it cooks that fast that the juice left over will be cooked with being dry 👍👍

[@MariamMunia]

Hi!!

[@Doctors_TARDIS]

THE GALLEY BOY IS THE BEST!!!! But man, their BBQ sauce is nothing like the bottled stuff. It isn't very sweet at all. Also their tartar sauce is quite unique too, and has miracle whip as it's base. Basically you didn't do it justice at all.

[@SaiyanABlazeNinja]

the algorithms insane I only found out who George Motz was yesterday!

[@IWantAKouki]

Come to Ohio and try an actual Galley Boy...and a size of potato teezers are a must (basically tater tots with cheese and jalapeno). It doesn't make sense and it's definitely more than the sum of it's parts. It's not exactly tartar sauce and it's not exactly barbeque sauce. If you just use those things it will be pretty weird. And sugar in beef is like a cheat code! You don't think of it in burgers but think of things like Chinese takeout, or American barbeque for that matter.

[@tizzyice]

swensons is sooooo good please try it if you ever go to ohio. the potato teezers are >>>>>

I know in Ohio they put chocolate in their spaghetti! I’m sure not very commonly, but it’s a known Cincinnati ‘thing’ from what I’ve been told

Yes, it’s Skyline chili! (Tho I’ve seen people say it’s more like a Greek-style bolognese, as the owner of the restaurant was Greek) You don’t taste the chocolate at all, it’s pretty good! Very popular around Cincy.
