Why This Burger Is One of the Hardest to Get in New York - Icons

[@alexanderednie1205]

Miss these guys so much

[@prunetracy7651]

I'm so pumped this video came up on my feed. I have been trying to remember videos from Ben and Brent that I saw years ago.

[@DonDotta-dl5oj]

Who’s Ben and Brent?

[@zorgnox]

​@@DonDotta-dl5ojThey had the series "prime time" on eater

[@tobascogladiomatteo4843]

​@@DonDotta-dl5oj There's no Ben in this video...

[@shanefarrell5759]

When eater was meater🥰

[@prunetracy7651]

Ben was featured in old videos. Look up the meat hook and watch the video about bacon.

[@thtpilotguy]

LOVE to see Brent back. Keep it up! We love the Meat Hook!

[@TheBrentYoung]

Thank you! Stoked to be back.

[@riochuck8056]

He's back!

[@victorlopez2254]

en forma de chapas!

[@JamesTMurray]

Watching this makes me understand why restaurants charge the amount they do. Insanely specialized equipment to make boutique feeling elements of each dish. No wonder my stuff at home doesn't taste as good.

[@themikejulian]

You need to bring the Meat Hook guys back full time again! I miss their videos!

[@leonardoguiaro156]

Miss prime time, the BEST show on Eater

[@TheBrentYoung]

😎

[@feederchua]

Brent is back! Now all we need is the Meat Show back too!!

[@TheBrentYoung]

We got something cooking for ya!

[@MooseBacon403]

Man, I've missed these guys!!!

[@Jchmcom]

Me seeing The Meat Hook has me feeling all kinds of Stoic. "You're as beautiful as the day I lost you."

[@arifnh_]

I think I've watched all the Prime Time videos. really missed these guys.

[@ercedwrds]

Having lived in Portland, my favorite part was seeing Mike repping the Red Sox AA team with a Sea Dogs cap in NYC.

[@beau7196]

That burger press is awesome

[@gerardmagill5632]

Bring back prime time

[@TanukiSC]

Ben left the Meat Hook, so don’t think it’ll ever be back sadly.

@ Love hearing this!

Gorgeous looking food

[@theironworker781]

I think people like the variations too when it comes to burgers.

[@mishamoon5856]

Is Ben not part of the business anymore? This may have been covered in other videos, but it's weird to see a video from these folks without Ben.

[@Chaddingway]

He left like 2 years ago to pursue other interests, but maintains a good relationship with the Meat Hook crew.

[@notmyrealname23]

Looked it up and it seems he left two years ago to work on helping mentor other small businesses in their opening phase!

[@CountDankula0]

Looks amazing

[@victorlopez2254]

Estos tios eran la caña!!!

[@studyjoe1967]

This shoul be counted as a prime time episode

[@jonsol2804]

I don't know. I never tried to get in a burger...

[@КенобиОбиВан-п6в]

Well done guys. It looks very tasty. Good luck to you all.

[@stevejackson9952]

Would you pay $22 for it?

[@КенобиОбиВан-п6в]

@stevejackson9952 perhaps yes. If I had traveled there.

[@Sakja]

There was an old burger tavern chain that I used to eat at in NYC. Can't for the life of me remember its name, but they had great burgers. Probably closed now.

[@stevejackson9952]

Well this place is in Brooklyn and $22 for a 6oz burger.

[@skorpekh]

Yesssssss I've missed the meat hook

[@JQSCreative]

We miss Prime Time! It was your best show. Good to see Biff Tannen back.

[@TheBrentYoung]

Make like a tree and get outta here

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

I love Brent WAY MORE than I'll ever love a burger. But it does look tasty. But I'll never come close to actually eating one.

[@vr0k3n]

I miss Brent's butcher shop videos so much

[@ronstallworth9421]

Biff Tanner is back!

[@redcomet0079]

The best burger I ever had was from Father’s Office pub in Santa Monica, CA

[@scottchow043]

I'm gonna have to make a special trip to Brooklyn for that burger!

[@TheBrentYoung]

Please do!

Hey...where'd Ben go?

[@aidorue]

The meat hook is so overpriced, i fw the owner tho, he seems chill

[@pavelow235]

Inflation

[@aidorue]

@ nah there’s literally two butchers across the street that are half the price, they’re just hyped up kinda like publican in Chicago, so they charge whatever they want and people will pay

[@TheBrentYoung]

@@aidorue Our meat is sourced from local farms that have excellent farming practices that are better for the earth, better for the animal, better for the consumer, and taste better too. No shade on the other shops - but we have close relationships with our farmers and transparency in our sourcing. It's very important to us, but unfortunately yes, it is expensive. But don't get me wrong, no one is getting rich by offering this high quality product

[@garyanderson9467]

I bet those are great burgers

[@WilliamSkrimpelton]

[@GregCurtin45]

Thank you Brett and team for sharing your amazing burger(s). It is also great when we get to see such nice people who work there and are invested in making quality products. I really love the bacon-onion jam. Thank you #Eater for another great tour of someone who has perfected an idea that not only makes money but also makes customers happy. Thank you to #CaapitalOne for sponsoring the team at Eater and bringing us the best of small business success stories.

gg EASY

[@marcoastudillo7236]

Click bait

[@63ah1275]

I can make a superior burger at home for $6, and it's easy. Burgers and steaks are the biggest restaurant rip-offs.

[@TheBrentYoung]

If you make it for $6 at home that means you'd charge $24 for it in a restaurant, so technically, your burger is more expensive than ours.

[@63ah1275]

@TheBrentYoung $24 would be a ripoff on a food cost basis. I was basing my cost on ground ribeye, and house made buns and cheese.

[@VanillaGorilla7]

So a yuppie burger
