Love that he doesn’t trash the take out options. Uncle Harold highlights what makes the food good then gives great insight and constructive criticism! Love u
I really appreciate this too! There’s another CZcams chef that trashes the takeout and it drives me bananas, I had to limit my support of his channel.
@@richboy81 talking about Joshua Weissmann?
@@amelielacroix3858 👀 😌 Yeah.
Harold definitely the best addition to the kitchen
Harold is single-handedly keeping this channel relevant. I want to give him a hug.
Nice piece chef Harold. You have to appreciate a food professional willing to highlight something/anything positive at McD's (operational efficiency, consistency, experience gained at McD's). Not a popular position, but true.
Harold's hamburger selection of ingredients and combination of ingredients are wonderful. The cutting technique of the slightly stiff romaine lettuce, which will be an accent in particular, is wonderful. I think that the taste and texture when eating this hamburger is the best hamburger.
I love anyone that gives the humble burger the respect it deserves!
I love Harold, more of him please!
I love watching Harold! More of him, please.
I already knew the answer before I watched the video, my boy chef Harold always makes the best food!
I learn so much every time Harold is on the video!
Harold you are the man! Thank you for the knowledge behind a seemingly simple dish
"only a couple dollars in your pocket, this the way to go" Its not even cheap anymore
I love Harold!!!!! Always makes me laugh throughout the video!
Holy crap, a professional that makes real hamburgers without trying to be so fancy it’s not a burger anymore. Or so big you can’t actually eat it. I’m am so appreciative of that.
I wish I had a window big enough to blow out the smoke when I do this
Nobody tell Carla about this. If you do, Garla will be coming after Harold.
Harold is a GREAT personality to have on the BA team. Keep him busy, please!
I like Harold. Cool chill guy =)
The one pickle really pissed me off
That it wasn’t a dill pickle pissed me off.
@@marybratton5514 Same!
Hint: you gotta put Harold in the thumbnail! You'll get more clicks!
Awesome video! Makes me want a burger now! (the pop up sound effects is super distracting.)
As long as it's a smashburger, I'm down. I will say Shakeshack and In-and-Out are my favorites.
worst way to make a burger
Dude that watch is fire
Harold is my favorite current BA chef… want more!
Harold is awesome, love his bits
love the way you put the dbl together. don't toast with butter, try mayo next time then toast that on the griddle - - bang'n bro
Wooo!!! Kuya Harold!!!
Tito! Kasi di ba Unkle Harold siya. Lol.
glad i’m not the only one who thinks shake shack is the golden standard of burgers!!
it is...
it is... theres litteraly no point in trying to recreate a better Shack Shack burger. They already use high quality beef, Pat LaFrieda, custom sauce, Martins potato roll, and properly smash n seasoned. You would litteraly be remaking the same thing. Unless you choose to use prime/wagyu beef and different cheese. But they use American Cheese because it goes the best with any burger.
*gold standard
I've worked in the industry for a long time and I've always like (bottom to top) bun, sauce, lettuce, tomato, burger, cheese, pickle, onion, sauce and bun. Just a personal preference.
I’ve always found burger layering a fascinating topic. May I ask you, when you pick the burger up do you ensure the bottom stays on the bottom? Harold picked his up in a way that resulted in the bottom being on “top.” However, when he constructed the burger he skirted the issue by essentially taking a palindrome approach.
If it's a personal preference, what does working in the industry for a while have to do with anything?
@@conman1395 I've made a lot more burgers than I have ate. There's things to take into consideration once you hit your 10,000 hours. I mean a burger is a burger. Mythical kitchen did a video on toppings and bottomings you should check out.
My boiiiii, Harold 😎
Which size grinder disc did you use, the small or large one?
Old Bon Appetit vs New Bon Appetit. Carla Lalli Music was part of the chef team that created the original Shack Burger. She's a effing legend.
I thought Carla would be the one to do this if the video was made pre-pandemic.
@@mbarrett99 the shack burger is her version so doesn’t have to compete with it. She’s done videos of the burger with variations. Search her name/smash burger if you’re interested.
Hey Chef Harold - where’d you get that sweet t shirt?!
The soles of my boots look much more appetizing than THAT
Iceberg - most underrated and a greatest burger lettuce.
Remember when gourmet makes got ~10M views with each upload?
This is how you know you have a good fast/drive up burger. It comes in a plain white wax paper wrap and a brown bag. If you see that, you have a great burger regardless of the state, city, or town.
Good
You lost me at bread + butter pickles. Sour dill is the only way to go people!
Love Harold 💚
UNCLE HAROLD 👏 👏👏
Love a good Harold video! Get it homie!
Bro made burger sauce with all the elements of french dressing and then added french dressing to the sauce...
Couldn’t stop looking at your watch
You made the perfect burger then stuffed all the sauce in the middle so it dripped out. Sauce on the bun or bust.
Put my man’s Harold in the test kitchen rn
Meanwhile Amiel is out there somewhere, seeking out his next still breathing prey item.
Yes
The one pickle triggered me lol
Harold you do such great stuff most of the time but the SINGLE PICKLE has me fuming. I feel betrayed
Shake Shack: A so-so In-N-Out copycat recipe set up in a stand in NY's central park and overcharged for that has grown into a business with many excellent menu offerings.
I'm of the opinion that when yo uform the balls you shouldn't squish them too much. Be gentle with them. If anyone here has ever made snow balls as a kid, you know what I mean. You barely push down on it.
This thumbnail doesn't sit well.
The Shake Shack image look far better of a burger. Especially the searing of the meat and the buns.
Dude im so hungry
Harold + Brad soon pls
Smashburgers for the win. Always. You get that nice crisp but the middle is still nice and pink.
"911?... Yeah, he's eating his burgers upsidedown..."
We just got Shake Shack near me, and unless they have bad nation wide quality control... Shake Shack is kinda bad. Though they redeem themselves with the Smokeshack
I really wish we had the fresh beef for quarter pounders here in Canada like they do in the US, BIG difference. Shake Shack really is excellent, but the leaf lettuce is absolutely terrible. Onions and pickles is the way to go.
season the tomato
Loved this!
Gotta have the hot cherry peppers tho!
Which fast food place did burger #1, five guys?
Sure looked it.
Is this who replaced Rick? CN is destroying itself.
mr. motz would be very upset that the smash wasnt done in one go lol
Romaine on a burger is nuts to me, just a personal thing, iceburg, butter leaf and occasionally even green leaf all feel more natural
Tomato situation
Wax paper situation
Hold on. We need to talk about the jar of peanuts in the refrigerator.
What's the watch? Gold band and a green face always looks good.
I think someone on a previous episode identified it as an Invicta.
If I went to the cookout and saw Harold at the grill, I'd know it was about to be lit.
I mean this is hands down going to be Harold, no contest! XD
I’m very impressed that Harold has a strong NY accent, flawless English, acts and speaks very NY, strong knowledge of American cuisine (as well as other countries, I bet) yet being an immigrant to America. Props to Harold. Salúdame!
Big smoke making some burgers
Wait, what, where is Brad in his station?
Never put tomato in the middle, and lettuce goes either on the bottom to soak up burger juice or on top Everything else was perfect
Love when Harold says situation.
Cheese *under* the patty? I don't know about that.
Just one pickle....
Okay so hear me out. As a French person, I've always loved blue cheese, but I don't like gingerbread. Recently I read somewhere that apparently they go very well together. Gingerbread blue cheese burger next? 😳
The one who understands wider not taller
At 2:30 you can tell which one he preferred. You agree 👍
He had me up until bread and butter pickle
unkle harold !!!!!!!!!
The construction of this burger is whack! How it slides around on itself is honestly not right. I’m sure it’s tasty, but the construction seriously needs some adjustment.
Which restaurant was the first burger?
I'm guessing five guys with the tight foil wrap.
Why are you eating them upside down though 😭
Literally your notification bring a smile on my face.
I thought "Pro Chef" is a chain restaurant too, as the burger also looks ugly.
Deducting one point for not making the bun ...
Why Roldy puttin everything in the middle though?
Anyone else grind the meat right onto the ice? WHOOPS!
Harold is so tight.
Uncle Harold
Now that Ned forgot about Spiderman, good thing he turned into a Chef.
mcdonalds, video over
Nice video. Five guys is better than Shake Shack though. 😉😂
They should have made this episode with CARLA ages ago
I hate it when people compare Take out with Pro Chef, it's like comparing a 50 year old VW with a Lambo.
Okay but who puts ONE pickle on a burger??
Love shake shack…but Culver’s is equal to (I would argue superior) to shake shake burgers and fries
