I’m not even a vegan but I learn a ton about burgers from you. Great content. Keep it up.

[@gunderstank2089]

My husband enlightened me that the cheese being "upside down" makes a huge difference! You still melt the cheese on the meat, but when assembling, you basically flip the patty so the cheese is on the bottom bun.

[@josephnoll3582]

Wow! This had to be a lot of work. Thank you Burger Dude. I’m so ready for your book to ship. I need fast food recipes under my belt so I don’t have to eat out so much 😂

[@Boomtendo4tw]

A lot of times, I'll put some vegan butter on the buns and some Kinders The Blend seasoning on them and toast them in the air fryer so they get to be like garlic bread buns. Really tasty!

[@zannaoutdoors]

do you put the butter nd seasoning on top of the bun or the inside ?

[@Boomtendo4tw]

@@zannaoutdoors on the insides like you would with regular garlic bread. Usually you split a loaf in half and butter the inside with garlic butter

I whole heartedly believe that whole food plant based in its most natural form is best, but everyone that’s transitioning to plant based I think Thee Burger Dude is the GOAT 🐐. I’ve referred so many people to absolute success and appreciation. A lot of people I know are enjoying not participating in animal cruelty and still not compromising delicious food in the process. As a New Yorker, which many consider to be the culinary Mecca, I love this guys stuff. 👊🏽 🦇

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Honestly, I eat way more WFPB than I did before going vegan. I love eating that way as well as this. I think having a good mix is ideal for me, but everyone should eat the way they see fit! Thank you!

[@soniajacobs3038]

I agree with you about the cheap Kroger restaurant style hamburger pickles. That’s all I’ll buy for burgers. They are cut much thinner, form to the other ingredients, and do not over power everything else.

[@sylvialovesthemosthigh2764]

Love ❤️ your content in this upside down world 🙃 your vids bring great escape and foodie entertainment 👍🏾🙋🏾‍♀️ Thank you💜

[@Burningtreeblood]

Love to watch it. I’m excited to hear your burger stacking idea. Having lentil burgers later and I’m down for experiments

[@AV57]

A trick I employ is making a kind of salad for the burger. I like to make it out of chopped dill pickle, lettuce, mayo, and ketchup. The sauces help to work as a binder, so you don’t have a layer of toppings that slide away from each other. It just keeps things cleaner.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Kinda like the Grinder salad thing! Smart.

[@WatchDoggyDog]

that does sound smart, I wanna try, good on ya 👍

[@JacKAsterisK]

I hadn't given the order much thought to be honest, but now I will. Love the experiment, thanks for the info!

[@krisjaynav]

I love that you did this video. I used to explain to my friends that flavor delivery is different based on the on stacking. Id tell to eat the burger upside down, and you will have a different experience.

[@michellewheatley4406]

Great video! They all look great - I’ll be trying these with beef

[@toregister8615]

I have always put my burgers together with a few things in mind. First off, I dislike things sliding out of the burger as I eat it. So I tend to slice my tomatoes thin for that reason. My preference is shredded lettuce, but I shred mine super fine, like angel hair. I do like a slice of melted plant-based cheeze on my burgers, but not more than one slice. One way I've come to enjoy burgers lately is just with plain white bread, toasted. Like a Big Mac, I sort of layer things out. I find the square packets of Impossible meat cut into 4 perfect rectangle sized burgers. I just take a plate and flatten them out in plastic wrap to the exact size of my bread. I remove the crusts from the center slice of bread. I find everything works better with square burgers. Even the cheeze slices are square. Perhaps you could do a square burger video?

[@anamaiorca1335]

It's amazing how chopping things differently changes the taste. Lately I've been making my burgers McDonald's style, so finely diced onion, pickles, ketchup & mustard. They've been sooo good. Also been known to put grilled pineapple, teriyaki & avocado on a burger 😋😋 yeah now I know what I'm making for dinner tomorrow!

[@PockyFiend]

When it comes to burger construction, I usually put Dijon mustard and Heinz 57 on the bottom (when I make them at home, mustard and ketchup when I'm not at home), and these are the only things I put on the bottom, since I don't want them on the cheese. Then it's the patty itself, American cheese, bacon and lettuce (if I liked pickles, tomatoes and onions, they would go on the lettuce), with ranch dressing spread on the top bun.

[@jamesbyrne3033]

I need to stop watching these before bed. Every single one of these look delicious.

[@hairyballbastic8943]

I think top buns naturally bag loose toppings in comparison to bottom ones which just immediately become flattened resulting in sliding, there's a lot of curvature which can spread out on the top ones and

[@reddywhippanda6714]

The way I do it is burger w/melted cheese (sometimes two slices if I'm feeling chaotic), pickles, lettuce, tomato, french fries, and then a *lot* of burger sauce (or even just vegenaise). Another killer video my dude ^^ Edit: I forgot the pickles!

My first job was at Del Taco, many many many moons ago. (I'm 60). The Del Sauce they had at the time was Mayo and Buttermilk. I was obsessed with it. I use to dip my fries in it. I now live in Texas, so I'm not sure if it is still the same sauce from years ago.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I've seen recipes that are that plus lime, when I used to get it I thought it was slightly pink? So I add a little hot sauce to mine when I make it.

[@Aslan_Fulgore]

[@gracemunroe]

Okay, so I start with margarine spread on my burger bun, then burger sauce, on both sides of the bun, iceberg lettuce, sliced cucumber and tomato, a slice of cheese, burger patty, another slice of cheese (which I melt on the patty for thirty seconds in the microwave) any other toppings? I usually have on the side, such as beetroot and red onion (raw) Thanks for the video.

[@nickolaikautezki8398]

Can you make a “how to season Burger ground” video? I season my impossible ground with a mix of Annie’s Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, couple punches of salt. The burgers end up with more char and give as long as you don’t add too much of the sauces when mixing. Mixing must be done cold too. But end result is fantastic and a welcome departure from the standard impossible flavor. Also impossible burgers over a fire are well.. 🔥! But uneccassary to season in the way described above imo.

[@Oonagh72]

I put cold cheese on a burger yesterday because I forgot to melt it. I think I like it better. I could taste nose cheese flavor.

[@germanorlov6149]

[@andreawalker7138]

[@berriaskmelater8096]

just throwing it out there about the In-n-Out burger being very soggy... until recently, i would still go to In-n-Out to get a grilled cheese sandwich and even those were soggy so you had no choice but to use either the wrap or like i did, dump the fries out and use the boat to catch the liquid with. it's the lettuce, tomato and pickles combined with the spread that makes a superlicious mess, thx TB Dude. i really need to start making these at home and keep my lactose suffering to a minimum xD * * just waiting on that new burger cookbook to arrive = )

[@supermaniac5]

Try mixing ketchup with diced onions and pickles. Mixing mayo with mustard. Assemble with ketchup mixture on bottom bun first, then shredded lettuce, then tomato (if desired), then meat/cheese (upside down), and finally top bun mayo/mustard sauce.

[@christophermorin9036]

I make Impossible Whoppers all the time. Slowly working my way up to being plant based and the burgers were a good place to start. The one of the things I love about the Impossible Burger meat, aside from the taste obviously, is that THEY DON'T SHRINK WHEN THEY COOK. Whatever size burger you make is the size burger you get when you pull it out of the pan! I can finally source burger buns that fit my food! I got a Hamilton Beach Sandwich Maker I bought from Goodwill that was DOA. Chucked the device, but kept the ring forms that were in the middle of it lol. They are nonstick, 4 inches across, and make perfect 4 ounce Whopper patties that I can just cook up in 4 minutes and slap on a bun with all my fixings.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

yes that's another benefit, they don't change shape when you cook 'em!!

[@lightawake]

Didn't see a variation that starts with sauce on the bun, then tomato first. The tomato on the bun adds a delicious moistness and flavour to the bite, much like the Southern France deliciousness of a sandwich, Le Pain Bagnat.

[@kateliness2]

Incredible! I'm reconsidering everything I thought about "toppings" and where they belong! Except unmelted cheeze on lettuce. Not that.

[@jamiefitzpatrick4377]

It is a bit late for your book but you should check out Himalayan ketchup. It’s a sauce best made yourself, exact ratio of ingredients is chiefs choice plus or minus a few spices. I used a slightly altered version of what binging with babish has listed and everyone that tasted it seems to think it might be the best burger sauce ever invented. Ingredients might be a bit expensive for mass market, I don’t understand any other reason it isn’t a staple sauce for every burger franchise. If you haven’t tried it. Please do. Also thank you for your content. When I was a child and first came to North America I ate an American burger with a knife and fork. I was a young English boy and didn’t know what to do with something I couldn’t fit in my mouth.

I wish you opened a restaurant near us, serving all your yummy stuff...

[@chrisshuler7106]

I posted this on the Food Theorists video... Try this sometime... Start by chopping all the vegetables. This way, you get all the flavors in every bite, without having to chase a ring of onion around, or suffer a whole slice of tomato or pickle sliding out with a bite. Next stack your savories (mustard, pickle and onion) and salads (mayo, lettuce and tomato) together when stacking. As far as the stacking goes, savories on the bottom bun, then the meat and cheese, topped with the salads under the top bun. This is also a very sturdy burger, due to the chopped veggies. Wanna take it up another notch? Try melting Velveeta on the patties. That's right, I said it. VELVEETA! Don't knock it till you've tried it. Just don't tell your friends until after they've tasted it. They'll love this burger! 😃
