I like his German-English! His Wiener Schnitzel Burger looks delicious!

No

[@lenkajunova7419]

as someone from Central Europe, I agree, schnitzel is always appropriate answer to the question what to eat 🤣

I want him to cook for me for life ha

[@phrozenhel]

Wolfgang could be a funny Professor Ludwig Von Drake from disney tbh

[@tomkvideo]

There's something so charming about the way Chef Rie pronounces mayo.

[@chaozzah]

Actually sounds like the pronunciation in Dutch, but with the Rie flair.

[@andrespuente87]

@@chaozzah same for Spanish !

[@mikey2111]

@@chaozzah I was just going to say the same. It's how we pronounce mayonaisse.

[@WhoKnows7]

@DRD The Japanese language's base are the vowels, A I U E O. They're pronounced differently from English. They are closely pronounced the way Spanish (and other similar languages) pronounce their vowels and letters.

[@Iukini]

That's just how you say it in Japanese

[@JoeyTrejo10]

I loved the nostalgia in both their creations - you could see Wolfgang being transported to his childhood when he took a bite!

[@colina1330]

"They had a chain called White Castle, and they made hamburgers, and I said what the shit is that??" I love Wolfgang.

[@blairbird8022]

Rie calling out George was the best part of this episode.

[@dejawest3976]

Iv been a fan of Wolfgang for many years..this guy is forever entertaining and hilarious

[@nrclee]

9:44 Such a touching moment where Wolfgang choked at a memory locked in taste and released with a flood of emotions. He choked and almost cried, then pulls out wine. This guy is so real and fun loving. Dont think I ever seen a TV Chef paused to reflect like he did.

[@iwalas]

Wolfgang Puck to me is like the Julia Child of my parents. His descriptions, demeanor, general vibe just makes me smile.

[@lukestaley9863]

Rie and Wolfgang Puck is the duo I never knew I needed.

[@dlimla]

2:14 those "purist people" that you're talking about if they watched the burger show enough SHOULD know that the hamburg steak is the OG start of the hamburger and mixing half with ground pork is a modern "slug" burger from Mississippi courtesy from George Motz the burger scholar so Rie got nothing to worry about lol

[@prometheus705]

I think she meant the milk and breadcrumbs

[@monhi64]

Sure but the burger she’s making isn’t a variation on the slug burger. It’s just fairly common in Asian cooking to mix ground meats together and even add other non meat ingredients to ground meat.

[@nicbrownable]

@@monhi64 it is much more complicated than that. The vector for the hamburger into Japan is the US military occupation. 1940s burger culture was transferred directly. The hamburger steak was popularised during the transition from post war austerity to the 60s boom. It was an affordable way to enjoy large ‘western’ style cuts of meat. The bubble era resulted in huge levels of tourism to Europe. The hamburg steak was refined as people brought back a taste for ‘authenticity’, so German style pork/beef ratios became a mark of quality. This fed back into Japanese burger culture. At the same time Japanese-French and Japanese-Italian became popular. If you really want to dig deep, there are still places serving post war Japanese-western, which has oddities such as westernised Cantonese sweet and sour pork done in a style that suits the old school Japanese palate. ‘Pork with ketchup sauce’. It was likely that western troops stationed in Japan were requesting familiar ‘Asian’ foods. This is distinctly different from Japanese-Chinese that you can find in port cities like Yokohama and Osaka. There is endless trade and cross pollination of cuisines.

[@PhycoKrusk]

Slug burger is mixed half with bread crumbs, not pork. I think. We better go watch that one again.

[@dlimla]

@@PhycoKrusk the original recipe is bread crumbs, but according to George Motz the modern take on it now is half pork half beef

[@TheTwan85]

Gotta love that a living legend like Wolfgang Puck still messes with a good Wiener schnitzel 😁❤❤

[@milenavansant288]

Spent part of my childhood in Wien and never ate hamburgers. In the United States I could not easily obtain good quality veal. So I would make Chicken Schnitzel as a substitute. The Schnitzel with trimmings served inside a brioche bun is a great idea. Vielen Dank.

[@thebigtobinski1448]

I’d love to sit down with Wolfgang & hear stories about his life.

[@LSSRoshi]

The fact that Brioche is the burger bun of choice for both Rie and Wolfgang Puck just cements its status as the best type of burger bun.

[@exploringgames948]

Game changing bun for sure👌

You have this wealth of knowledge and experience that you so graciously share and I simply cannot convey the depth of my gratitude. I sincerely love you guys.

Hot take: Puck did a breaded smash burger exclusively for The Burger Show. And it looked GLORIOUS

[@danshepard5083]

Wolfgang Puck bringing me back to my childhood. I loved the Schnitzel sandwiches from the street vendors in Germany. Nice brötchen for the bread, fresh cooked Weinerschnitzel, a little mayo or slaw. Schnitzel Sandwiches, Doner Kababs, and Pommes Frites with lots of mayo are all things I still crave, 35 years later.

[@googlekonto2851]

Wer mayo zum schnitzel frisst, dem ist nicht mehr zu helfen und sollte not geschlachtet werden.

@@googlekonto2851 It was in Baumholder, I'm sure with the mayo they were pandering to the US Army personnel. At least it wasn't Miracle Whip.

Nothing is more pure in this world than Rie smiling. Cheers all.

Out of all of them, you could tell Wolfgangs was the one that was most nostalgic

“A little spanking.. oh you like that huh?” 😭😭

[@dorvaci]

My man Alvin is smashing it (literally) as always. But hey as a german i also have to apreciate the Schnitzelbrötchen, that truly is childhood.

[@BigHalfSteps]

Before anyone gets the wrong idea... Wiener Schnitzel is not with Brioche Buns, but with "Semmel" (tar-emblazoned round bread roll) which is very typical bread roll. It's his version and that's fine. You just won't get that in Vienna typically. He also calls it Wiener Schnitzel because it's calf meat, because Original Wiener Schnitzel is with calf meat. There are other variations (Chicken, Turkey, Pig) but they are called Schnitzel, not Wiener Schnitzel. Original Wiener Schnitzel typically is fried with Vegetable Oil or Butterlard. And also doesn't need that much, it's enough if it's barely covering it.

[@dreaminginnoother]

I just finished eating and this show just made me hungry again. lol
