Testing the Most Insane Burgers on Tik Tok

[@julipetric]

Hey Mike, cheers from Argentina. Parrilla [that's the name for the Argentinian style of grill you've got] tip: don't whack the wood like that to make the coals fall. You'll mostly end up with unproperly "burning" coal which might not burn completely before dying either in cold days or when the grill is still not hot. You want to just wait for it to fall naturally. You can aid it a bit by moving it a little but whacking it like that is a really common begginer problem around here. Well done though! Proper parrilla skills. You might want also to get a small plain shovel with a long "handle" (idk how to call it, the stick part) that's specifically made for that work, it makes moving the coal lots easier

Hi Mike. I never cooked in my entire life (I’m 62) but I started watching videos on KZbin and came across your channel. You inspired me to start cooking and providing good food for me and my loved ones. I love your passion and style and your cuteness doesn’t hurt :)

Hell yeah! Keep it going, it's a great thing to learn and personally, really relaxing. Sometimes things go wrong, but that's just you learning. I really recommend Food Wishes. Chef John makes some great simple recipes and has a great way of teaching everything. Go for easy recipes and then watch some America's Test kitchen to know what you can improve. (Their cookie recipes are amazing) Also, If you're interested in simple recipes and occasional food science stuff, Adam Ragusea has GREAT simple, objective and practical recipes for everyday family lunch. (Sorry for the long comment) J. Kenji López-Alt, for me the most competent chef in all of youtube, has great almost real time recipes in his small kitchen and knows A LOT about his stuff.

I had a feeling that "cohesive it's missing" WAS the Harissa Mayo 🤣 I belive in adding ingredients too a Balanced recipe , but I find it disrespectful when somebody takes something OUT and then say it's "MISSING SUM" 😤

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

@@tntwylmann but he likely didn't have harissa on hand. I appreciate the fact that he made an attempt to recreate the flavor in an accessible way for viewers instead of maybe just adding ketchup. Edit: oh I just saw that he left it out completely and just added the pepper alone. So yeah, I agree, it has mayo for a reason!

[@aowwii]

@@tntwylmann That's one thing that slightly irks me. How could you honestly rate someone's recipe if you omit entire steps? I would've loved if he did his own take AND made the original too.

Hey Mike, super random, but I love seeing the construction guys reaction. Something I wish more people did was share their food with others. Those burgers looked good, you (and your brother) were one of the first channels that inspired me to cook!

[@robbiedaniels2164]

Surprised you never heard of George Motz. He's cooked numerous amazing burgers on his show. Onion supposed to be crazy thin, so it melts, and gets crispy at same time

[@danagboi]

I second this. I don't think I've ever heard 'Oklahoma smash burger' in a sentence without the mention of George Motz.

[@tasadem20]

George Motz is Jesus of Burgers. Any burgermania should praise him.

These burgers all look awesome 😋. Also, I am enjoying the TikTok series, curious to see what the next one is. I've got a challenge for you: to make a vegan burger (from scratch). Now of course these would be totally different, but I think it would be interesting to try different techniques to bring flavour and texture.

Should have watched Motz do the onion burg. He is the king. Mustard only, no special sauce. Pickles on the side. Plus American cheese would have made a massive difference. Trust. Cheddar cheese just gets lost, or overpowers if it's too strong, while American melts and amalgamates with the beef and gets in all the nooks and crannies without overpowering. It's a beautiful thing.

[@mokshalani8414]

I like both cheeses, a slice of each, so you get both the creamy richness oozing in the nooks as well as the stretchy chew with a nice sharp flavor & awesome crispy edges

[@bestbitesforever]

All three of those burgers look amazing! The sauce for the lamb burger was really thoughtful with the combination of mint and feta. I like the use of this classic combination in a burger.....I was super excited about the bone marrow caramelized onions so when you tried the burger and said it didn't make a difference I was a little bummed. Overall the first one had my mouth watering! I am a huge fan of smash burgers but have never had one done with the onions smashed in like that. I can't wait to give it a try! Thank you so much for sharing these yummy burgers!

[@carmenmartinez2882]

In Mexico we’ve been eating bone marrow forever. Personally I like it by itself on a tortilla with salt. Love the taste on its own.

A little lime or lemon juice with the marrow helps cut the fattiness, but yes, agreed.

I love my Ñuke Delta grill. I’ve made smash burgers on it several times, including onion ones, the included griddle works well for that. I’ve lamb burgers before, yet I’ve never made them. That one did look quite busy. I think a lamb burger with a simple aioli sauce is good. Lamb, unlike pork, doesn’t need too much extra, it’s flavor needs to shine. I’ve never had bone marrow any thing that I can recall. Those burgers looked excellent. Thanks for this video. You will love that Ñuke grill.

spread the coals under the grate further apart rather than letting them pile together, it tends to create a hotspot, only about a half inch apart, it will disperse the heat more evenly 👍
