I've recently discovered the difference between cooked onions and carmelized onions - those are cooked. The difference in taste is astounding and I'll never just cook/brown onions again! Just had fajitas with them tonight and they were amazing!
Saw the state of the flat top and thought, "Korean?". Saw hangul in the video and though, "Yeah, Korean." They do amazing things with food & you can tell they respect their equipment and customers by how tidy they keep everything.
And slice it in half, don’t fold; I imagine biting into that, accidentally tearing the whole strip outta the thing and all the toppings flying with it.
There's no such thing as a perfect burger. This is a good example, that burger is far from perfect according to my preferences, but a lot of people would probably love it. For me, I'd cook the bacon more, caramelize the onions, omit the fried egg entirely, use sharp cheddar and gorgonzola instead of that radioactive-looking probably bland yellow shit, add tomato slices, then a dash of garlic aïoli and horseradish mustard to finish it off.
Controversial opinion here but ... the TRUE genuine Aussie hamburger MUST have, Lightly toasted buns (not just warmed bread) with sesame seeds on top optional. Buns must be buttered. Fresh beef patty, pressed but not crushed Cooked onions Barbecue sauce on top bun. Tomato Lettuce Beetroot !! (NOT a fckn extra ffs!) Bacon (crispy), cheese, egg, pineapple etc etc are extra options of choice, not custom. So this was not as bad as some I've had but still not right.
My house used to have a regular gas grill built into a brick enclosure in the back yard. Had a natural gas stub, so no tanks. I swapped it out for a flat-top (like a Blackstone, but off-brand, because I needed the grease trap in front) and I love it. I use charcoal for smoking or BBQ stuff, but the flat top is HUGE for fajitas, burgers, all the things we'd want. And it was cheap, too.
My local Wegmans sells sliced American cheese at their deli and it's so easy to just peel off a slice to use that I get irrationally mad at individually packaged sliced cheese when I see it. It's so damn wasteful.
Sorry, this is only tangentially related to the video.
There are 2 preferences. Thicker patties for the meaty flavor or thin, crispy for the crispy flavor. They are both good. I prefert the crispy but double.
I really appreciate a burger that's got a good add of onions, bacon and cheese but there's a limit to what's appropriate. This burger is on the top limit but I'd much it down to the last crumbs.
Yeah, this is a little more than I'd make for myself, but still very good. My rule for making burgers is about a 1/4 lb patty, one slice of cheese, one or two of the regular toppings (tomato, onion, lettuce, pickles), at most one of the special toppings (bacon, egg, avocado, etc), and one condiment. After that, it starts turning into slop.
Juicy red vine ripened. Not the rock hard yellow/green tasteless ones most grocery stores seem to carry now. I get mine from a produce store that buys directly from area farms.
This isn't American style bacon. It's more common for bacon in other countries to be a bit more like cooked ham. The onions are not meant to be caramelized.
I prefer some brown on my eggs, no runny crap. Makes a mess when it on a burger. I also dotn like onions on a breakfast burger, thats just weird. Bacon is 100% undercooked.
In South America, this is called a lomito with bacon and pickles. They are delicious. The meat there tastes a lot different than in the US and the egg n burger tastes a lot better together. In the US if you make it with bison, it tastes better.
generally, burgers dont have stuff like egg, bacon and hasbrowns/potatoes on them directly. When they do, they are considered a breakfast burger. Though they are not generally eaten at breakfast time.
I believe the individual wraps are called singles. I've accidentally purchased them unwrapped before and man did that suck. Might as well just buy the block and cut off a slice.
They do, Kraft is not even allowed to call their shit cheese. Package says cheese product, it wont exist in slices if it wasnt prepackaged. It will be one semi melted ball of preservatives
Yesss nothing beats that. I live in Philly, so I can get the really fresh New Jersey tomatoes at farmer's markets in August and September and it's heaven.
Unpopular opinion, while that peocessed cheese is unmitigatedly shite, it works on a burger. Still, i only do burgers every six months or so, the rest of the time cheese is proper stuff.
in my personal opinion, bacon on a burger or sandwich is the one time you want it really crispy. Bacon with a bit of chew is great normally, but if it's part of something else you're biting through, it's more enjoyable if it easily breaks.
There is a huge difference between bacon cooked crispy and has a crusty salted flavor which is great in a burger and with eggs vs ash that is crumbling and burnt in your mouth
Americans have a warped sense of how cooked bacon should be because of all the trichinosis issues they have. Cooked bacon isn't safe for them, they have to ruin it
Yeah, coz the bacon you ate growing up was overcooked to crispy as the default option, because it had to be cooked that way. I never ate crispy bacon until i went to the US, because nobody else cooks it that way as the default option

Cook the bacon and throw away the f*cking egg (IMHO)

So many things wrong with that.

Who puts the pickles in the middle of the burger?

Only downside is the fluorescent yellow cheese, but I guess if that's what you're used to.....

Almost perfect, they didn't need the pickles.

That does look pretty awesome
DaddyDune
Indeed.

Yes indeed. Only constructive criticism is bacon should have gone down first.

And slice it in half, don’t fold; I imagine biting into that, accidentally tearing the whole strip outta the thing and all the toppings flying with it.

Keep that "cheese" away!

Yeah, how bout you pull that mask up over your nose and I’ll wait for the next one.

Don't press the patty. Other than that, yes.

Looks good, except skip the pickle & cheese, add more bacon.
AdventurousDonut480
Yeah, but you can order the burger that way.

Those onions are not done enough

Of the onions, egg, and bacon, the onions are the only thing that look like they're properly cooked for my taste.

Screw that. I want that bacon stat

Id rather not have a paper thin patty myself

Smh, another perfectly good burger ruined by an egg
QueefSlurper6372
Yeah, the egg looks overcooked.

The only problem with the egg is that he flipped it.

Like a good pizza - 3 toppings is peak. Enough to have contrast in flavors and not get muddled or lost.

Onions and bacon are undercooked. Egg is overcooked. Nice idea, poor execution.
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
MrStealUrChange
You are allowed to have your own opinion.
Onions and bacon look perfect to me. Egg is overcooked but im sure it all still tastes amazing.
Bubbells
I would also say that the egg if done right should provide all the sauce that is needed
ImNotActuallyEvilAfterAll
Yup
FuzzyX
Along with too much gherkin for my taste.
NickNoltesDrinkingShack
Pickles, the crime against taste buds.
Fargus57
Agree about the egg and bacon, but I prefer raw onion instead of grilled and it should also have a thin slice of tomato.

Depends on the tomato.

Breakfast burger...?
Is this something im too European to understand...? Do you have it with a side of Gun and a thermos of oil-based coffee?

generally, burgers dont have stuff like egg, bacon and hasbrowns/potatoes on them directly. When they do, they are considered a breakfast burger. Though they are not generally eaten at breakfast time.

I...literally make them only this way because eating a simple cheese/meat burger feels empty. Huh, the things you learn i guess.
Uptoo11ven
Yeah, fuck that. I like my bacon cooked thanks.
bambulina
Pass on all the sauces, too. Or maybe like 1/3 of what was used. I don't want my burger to piss condiments every time I pick it up.
Cornflakes91
alright, i'll throw it into the boiling pot of water
RichardBehind
And real cheese!
TheDreadPirateMontoya
You're not a fan of "Generic Yellow Squares"?
Jewdakris
I also prefer more than one strip, no one folded over like that.
IrrelevantHandle
One strip is fine if its a nice thicc boi like this one, but I would prefer it cut in half and laid parallel. I also think the egg is over cooked.
thedoorman42
In a burger is the only time an egg should be clocked well. I don't want yolk dripping out my burger
thedoorman42
*cooked...damn it phone
Jewdakris
That's funny cause the only time I want a runny egg is when I put it in a burger and let it coat everything.
IrrelevantHandle
Eben liking it cooked it was on there too long. Bet it smells of sulfur.
empire161
Undercooked bacon, individual wrapped slice of cheese, patty looked frozen, bun looks like grocery store quality. I could cosplay at this guy.
jalondon628
Yes to all of the above but I’d still eat it.

It’s a food truck. Not a sit in restaurant.

Do they sell American Cheese not individually-wrapped? I've only ever seen it in the packs of like fifteen or so slices.
Mongicane
Absolutely yes. Pretty much gotta go to a restaurant depot store to find it tho, otherwise settle for Kraft.
InitHello
They also sell solid blocks some places.
Gibleteousjack
I believe the individual wraps are called singles. I've accidentally purchased them unwrapped before and man did that suck. Might as well just buy the block and cut off a slice.

Velveeta.

People have different opinions about how they like their bacon on a burger, but I don't think anyone wants a nuked egg like that.
MrStealUrChange
It all looks great to me
whothehellelseusesTingjidasausername
Exactly, needs the runny yoke
FlatPlutoSociety
100% the runny yolk is the whole point. If I want the yolk cooked through, I'll just make a hard-boiled egg.
meme2zombie
And even for an over hard egg that one isn't a good example.
ThatDudeInTheMitten
If they swapped the egg for a bright red slice of tomato, I'd strongly consider calling this a perfect burger...
FlatPlutoSociety
Yesss nothing beats that. I live in Philly, so I can get the really fresh New Jersey tomatoes at farmer's markets in August and September and it's heaven.
ThatDudeInTheMitten
My parents plant a tomato garden every summer... I can still remember the sadness creeping in as I finished the last of the harvest this year...
DeepFriedAndSanctified
And my beef unpressed
HeadJamistan
It was pressed early though to make the cooking consistent, unlike fucking smash burgers that push out all the taste.
ArchonIlladrya
A smash burger is pressed while the fat is still solid, so nothing is wasted. If someone is smashing it after the fat renders, they're doing it wrong.
counterintel
*waves cloth napkin while unbuckling pants* Waiter! Waiter! I'd like my beef pressed now please!
AceBandito
And my cheese cheese. What is that, a fuckin Kraft single?
Beefkins
My thoughts, too. All that work for what looks like a genuinely good burger and you slap a plastic, vaguely cheese-like piece of plastic on it.
FoamingToad

Don't tell me the "steak is either rare or ruined" discourse has reached bacon.

Americans have a warped sense of how cooked bacon should be because of all the trichinosis issues they have. Cooked bacon isn't safe for them, they have to ruin it
thedill2000
Trichinosis is considered eliminated in American pork supply. Posing no risk anymore. Think it's been about 20 years now.
doobiedoobop
America's taste in the "right way" to cook bacon was set in stone, and is now considered the 'norm' there, a lot more than 20 years ago.
relsky
Or. OOOORRRRRRR... I happen to just like my bacon cooked crispy.
Have you considered that possibility?

Yeah, coz the bacon you ate growing up was overcooked to crispy as the default option, because it had to be cooked that way. I never ate crispy bacon until i went to the US, because nobody else cooks it that way as the default option
