why cheeseburgers ALWAYS taste better at restaurants 🍔

[@TheBQ92]

At home, I feel like my biggest obstacles are coordination and timing. If you want to make burgers served with fries and dipping sauce for a party of 4 that are all served hot at the same time, it's a struggle. It'd be amazing if you put out a video specifically around coordination and managing the order of operations. I really appreciate all the little process tips you sprinkle into your vids.

[@acooknamedMatt]

That’s one of the truest tests of skill. Getting everything coordinated

Amazing looking burger! Only thing I would change is caramelized onions over raw but that’s just my preference.

Awesome, watched other videos where they're trying to get you to use some "perfect" blend of different cuts, formulas to calculate the fat percentage, etc., etc., I watch this video and you're like, "meh, just grab a decent chuck roast and grind some burger," lol. Subscribed.

[@badgebadge8946]

Awesome additions for a burger. Thank you.

[@sarakajira]

My trick with burgers is salt and pepper like you use, but instead of a neutral oil, I oil the pan itself and brush Worcestershire sauce onto the patties with a marinade brush. F-ing amazing.

[@ppw8716]

New subscriber. You’re the only one that I see who cleaned your cutting board!!! I always wondered about it. And, I like your content and teaching style. 👍

Awesome video. The cheese was way simpler than I thought.

So happy to find your content. I’m a Kenji die hard and Joshua weissman fan but you my friend might turn my chef loves from a duo to a trio. Cheers. And I can’t wait to make this myself.

I do have the Made In carbon steel griddle and the meat grinder attachment for my Kitchenaid. Will definitely have to try this. Looks AMAZING!!!!!

Gonna have to give that Beechers/butter thing a try! 90% of the burgers I make at home I use American cheese but that looked amazing.

[@bassfever]

That looks like a great homemade burger! You have skills for sure. The title got me here, because I think it's pretty easy to make a burger better than most restaurants. The exception I'll grant is for a restaurant that truly specializes in burgers, and even there, it's not a given, they can get too pretentious for their own good when you just want a tasty burger (see my callback to Pulp Fiction?). The main issue I come across is lack of attention or customization for the toppings, which will make or break the burger. If I have to remind the server for my ketchup/mustard/mayo, the place is getting dinged. If I don't get lettuce, pickle, and onion, points off. If they give me a tomato, they fail. The worst burger I ever had at a restaurant was a place that touted all local ingredients, great beef, and when we called and asked the person said they are known for their great burgers. The burger came with 2 thick rings of raw onion, not good coverage for the patty and sliced way too thick; 1 piece of leaf lettuce that was a decent garnish for the plate but not a good crunch for my burger. There was ketchup at the table but they forgot my mustard and mayo, and no pickle. This was the kicker. I reminded my server about the pickle and they brought out a little plastic souffle cup with just a 2-inch chunk of pickel, which I had to slice with the dull butter knife at the table to get a couple large chunks to offset the onions. The beef was Ok I guess. And to be clear, I did specify the toppings and condiments when I ordered. Otherwise, it was just about the worst burger experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Very low bar was set there.

[@SgtMantis]

That cheese hack is next level.

[@_spartan11796]

Great video

[@sadeqxd7595]

But no views

[@RebuttalRecords]

@acooknamedMatt: Thanks for the great presentation. I find most of the ground beef I buy contains so much excess moisture that it creates a huge mess and the meat takes on a blackened color and a burnt texture. What causes excess moisture in ground beef?

[@Yeetyloaf]

Not the Grinder tip I thought we'd get, thanks!

[@stevenwilson5556]

Looks amazing, I would love to have the training that you do and the skill at cooking. I make edible food where some is even tasty but nothing like what you can do. Thanks for the video

[@acooknamedMatt]

I appreciate the kind words. You can do it! Cooking is easy

[@joshmiller5374]

That whipped cheese sounds like it would be amazing with some smoked Gouda or something. Definitely need to try that

[@donsperanza2926]

I just made a burger and fries using your techniques. This is the burger and fries of my dreams. Thank you!

[@ppw8716]

Mayo and ketchup mixed together were what we dipped our French fries in where I grew up, sometimes we added mustard. Don’t knock mayonnaise.

The way you flattened the patty is the exact same way I was taught to form a tortilla and a pupusa lol so at least that part should be easy for me 😅

My biggest compliment ever was when my niece told me it was almost as good as burger king, I was working at a casual fine dining place at the time so we all got a good laugh about it

Don & Joes! I did seismic upgrades on their floor back in 2012 as a part of Pike Place Market seismic upgrades. Don & Joe came by everyday and offered us many dried meats for their appreciation. Great establishment !

[@acooknamedMatt]

That’s so cool

[@Ceractucus]

Stuff tastes better in restaurants. Hogwash I say. Pick any dish and with a very few exceptions, the best version I’ve had for every single one has been made by me, or a loved one in my own home. The best burger I ever made was grilled over lump charcoal, served with rosemary garlic aioli, and lots of well caramelized onions.

[@hugobranca]

FINALLY! A youtube chef that knows wtf he is doing

[@nogisomee]

Since the recipe is not on discord, nor on your website, nor on your 'socials', here is my stab at the aoili: (would love if you could put a proper recipe in the video description): Dijonaise 2 egg yolks 5 small cloves garlic, peeled 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 cup neutral or “good tasting” olive oil lemon zest from 1/2 lemon lemon juice from 1/2 lemon salt prepared horseradish? (optional?) In a chilled tall narrow 4 cup container, add egg yolks, garlic, Dijon mustard. Blend with immersion blender until combined. Slowly add oil, blending as you go. When finished, add remaining ingredients to taste, blend briefly to incorporate.

[@acooknamedMatt]

Sorry! Gotta keep my recipes off the net since I’m working in a cook book this year 🤫

[@Vincent67337]

Pan toasted brioche buns with butter make all the difference.

[@theycallmekayjay]

what restaurant was this in seattle? i live there and want to eat it!

[@victortaylor9399]

I hate having any kind of gristle in my hamburger. When you grind up a chuck roast are there any bits you suggest discarding first or is it ok to grind it all as-is? How can you tell what will render down and what won't?

[@sebastiansullivan4770]

i believe this is one of the reasons that chuck is favoured, that is, less cartilage

[@underourrock]

I try to not overwork the patty. Press it into shape with minimum handling, and focus on pressing the edges to get those edges to hold together. The majority of the burger shouldn't be compacted that much.

[@acooknamedMatt]

Won't be grinding my own meat. The burger joint I've frequented for the last 50+ years grinds its own meat daily. The only things that's changed in all that time is the damn price of everythng. Still, it's more than worth it.

[@tommyb7973]

...it's gonna be f*kking amazing...

[@dmj000]

My understanding (and personal experience) is that it's risky to use olive oil in aioli if you're using a stick blender since it can develop a bitter flavor. Do you know the reason or how this can be avoided?

[@acooknamedMatt]

Use a good tasting oil. Mine tastes good so i use it. Basically just taste before

Brisket burgers are tough?!? I grind my own; they're tender, juicy, & better than chuck.
