Finding The Best Cheeseburger In Los Angeles | Food Tours | Food Insider
“Please pace yourself” orders a slice of pie and ice cream after the first burger.
"I've learnt my lesson"
...4 hours later...
"I'm so full"
😂😂😂
that's not a burger, that's a salad with some meat in it, didn't even toast the buns
Sounds like pacing yourself to me
Fresh Peach and back in the day Olallieberry pies at Pie N Burger are the best, can’t have just one slice
new series idea for the future, you already have your Main host in Harry and Joe, Maybe do an international Food Tours where you go around the world and add a third native host to guide thru the tours like you guys did with food wars
Already been done with Best ever food review show with Sonny ! He's nailed it!
@@andyjames362think mark wiens also does this I’m not 100 percent though
I kinda wish Joe would tour Japan with George Already.
What Sonny and Mark do is completely different to this show though
I think the series should pivot to find the most reliable and trustworthy drug cartels.
Edit: And what is most surprising is the skinny American telling the fat brit to pace himself.
I’m so happy to see new Food Tours videos… long live this series and Harry & Joe’s bromance.
They get to show each other "This is how we live, come and see how delicious it is."
Bromance, yes! The annoyance works so well, in terms of entertainment. 😉
Well they had to make up for the travesty that was the last episode. It was dire
now make them Gay
I came across this series of videos relatively recently. The funniest part about seeing the old pre-covid videos, other than Harry with bleach blonde hair, is how much the people in the comments hated Joe prior to teaming up with Harry. I get it. Chemistry matters. These two have it.
The trick for those "messy" burgers is to take the wrapping off, and eat it over your fries/onion rings/etc to then use them to recover the lost goodness.
The ol' gutter poutine trick
That’s that real OG FATBOY move right there! Best comment and advice 👍🏼
Not at Pie N Burger, unwrap and you have a slippery mess
I know Joe lives in LA, but I am waiting for the inevitable Texas BBQ episode
Yeah, pretty convinced Joe or someone else at Food Insider has an anti Southern bias. Absolutely no mention of BBQ/Southern Chains/Southern Recipes.
...soon 🤠
@@JoeAvella please 🙏
@@JoeAvellaYES!!
They should go to every state in the south famous for their BBQ and determine which is best.
Food tours fills the hole buzzfeed worth it left behind and I just think that’s beautiful
The memories are coming together, oinkster with the sandwich episode, pie n burger from pie episode, burgerlord from double cheeseburger episode
Joe and Harry are great in videos like this because Joe is quite brash, outspoken, sarcastic and funny whilst also being fairly erudite, whilst Harry is reserved, matter of fact, dry-witted and also erudite and well-spoken.
You're definitely Harry tho my guy
yeah, they're such a contrast!
What you described for joe is called "charisma". Harry has none of it and im not seeing any wit unless you mean its so dry its desiccated.
Joe is like what I think the average like midwestern true American is like and Harry is what I imagine the average southern Englishman is like.
Love Harry always flexing like, "In the UK we actually have laws about what companies are allowed to put in our food." 😂
For now.
Right
And somehow the food in the UK still sucks.
@@Toastybees Not all food here sucks
@@Toastybees uk food way better than us, not even close
"These berries are getting flagged at Heathrow as contraband"
😂😂
Hilariously Joe not realising we can and do actually grow boysenberries in the UK....I had a beer with boysenberries yesterday from a Scottish brewery 🤣
It’s rumored that the Father’s Office Burger was based on the elements ( meat, onions, cheese, bread) and flavor profiles of French Onion Soup ( sans the liquid soup). The meat is dry-aged beef, the caramelized onions are embellished with bacon ( bacon-onion jam), the cheese used are Gruyere ( like in French onion soup) + Maytag blue, the bread is a French roll and arugula replaced the usual iceberg or romaine lettuce.
I’ve had that burger several times and I can’t get enough of it 👌!
I think you might have cooked that burger several times my dear
The burger wasnt cooked ! Still pink in the middle! Only steak should be cooked medium . Burgers its a big No for food hygiene
@@stub3945that’s just not true at all, unless it’s garbage meat you’re working with
@@stub3945if you have quality meat, that is absolutely not a concern. There’s a reason tartare exists and doesn’t make people ill. However, if you buy cheap supermarket ground beef who’s provenance is unclear, then it is good practice to cook that burger to well done, ideally in smash burger form to keep maximum flavor.
Yes the chef owner said that on the tastiest burger in la episode.
I absolutely love Joe and Harry's interactions, it's a bromance that won't be broken in my mind. Appreciate what you guys do, keep it up!
Basically a bunch of underpaid grad students sit in greenhouses for days pollinating berry flowers and later collecting the fruit, cleaning it, and sowing the seeds. They grow the new berry hybrids, test them for many years for disease resistance, adapability, fruit taste, fruit perishability, and nutrition. There is actually a hybrid called the 'Marion Berry" which reminds people of the former DC Mayor Marion Barry and so it is sometimes served with loads of powdered sugar in his honor.
I've never had the official berry alone or pie but tillamook ice cream ain't so bad.
How did Harry and I do? Which was your favorite LA burger?
Surprised to not see Apple Pan on this tour. I've heard so many angelinos describe it as the most quintessential classic LA burger spot
Fatburger
Joe I love your reviews but I was disappointed that you left out a couple places.
In-n-out
The Harry and Joe bromance keeps bringing me back for more. Love y'all.
This show scratches the itch for ‘worth it’
the reason why goldburger’s smash patties are still juicy is because allen specifically smashes his patties heavier on the outside but not as much in the center mound, in order to keep more of a medium rare/medium inside but the lacy edges on the skirt
The beef-grind ratio, too, probably. The raw ones had lots of fine fat in them.
@@bradleyheck7204 you can tell when a restaurant doesn’t have enough fat in their blend because the patties will curl and not hold form
Burgers looks nice but the rolls sorry buns look horrible
@@martinquinn9007 100% incorrect
@@martinquinn9007 if the buns were terrible, wouldn’t have won LA food and wine’s best burger
"PACE YOURSELF" then cuts to the first order: burgers, fries, and pie with a massive mountain of ice cream.
To be fair to them, I’ve been to Pie n Burger multiple times and that’s the smallest amount of ice cream they will give you
HARRY BEING TREATED TO GOOD FOOD IN LA makes us happy haha
@@Nooticus CAP.
@PokhrajRoy Dude, is it like your job to watch CZcams videos all day long? How are you everywhere? How do you pay for stuff if not?
In Atlanta we’re paying over $11 for any burger combo in any fast food restaurant so $16 for that beautiful smash burger, fries and drink bottle drink that’s amazing
@@kamanama3671A fast food combo in LA is around $15- $20, so any place making actual food for less is definitely worth going to.
Nah, i would trade him out for any other british guy. Maybe someone who doesnt seem like he just had a lobotomy.
With reference to the leaves in the final burger eaten, in Italian it's "arugula", which is often shortened to "rucola". The French call it "roquette" which the English refer to as "rocket".
"Rucola" is actually the original modern italian word, from which "Arugula" is derived, being a regional variation of "Rucola".
here in the netherlands we call it "rucola",, never heard anyone refer to it as "arugula" in dutch
but the name "roquette" or "raketsla" (dutch for "rocket lettuce") is also used sometimes
"rucola" is also the italian word for "rocket" by the by, so it's quite likely our translation came from the italian,
i make this assumption because in dutch we tend use a lot of original italian words for their products
i guess as a small country that is built on trade, we're just a bit more international thinking, also in mainland europe you have a lot more languages across a relatively small distance, so i guess it's just the nature of things with the lay of the land, right ?
it was already called rocket before the french influence, they did not make up the rocket part, italians did.
the fact that english is often badly pronounced french, is not specific/limited to the herb, nor the word rocket, so it doesn't really prove much.
yeah anglos got it from the french, but they got that outisde of this context too evidenced by the fact that the word for a rocket is also "rocket" in english :D
(dutch has a lot of french too though lol)
I'm a simple man. I see Harry and Joe and I click.
am glad you like there romance together 😍they really have found a perfect fit for each other.
Joe is singing a different tune about veggies on a burger now that he’s back in the states. Lol.
Right, he's eaten more tomato here than in the whole of foodwars! 🍅👀
Joe does NOT like 🥗🍅🥒 not sure abouts raw onions but get definitely said lettuce in a burger is a no..
In fairness, the produce quality in California can be insanely high. I'm not as familiar with the UK, but at least in central Europe the produce is a lot more anemic.
That "This is Anfield" comment went right over his head.
I’ve had burgers pretty much all over the planet before I was 20 yrs old. The Father’s Office Burger is the greatest burger I’ve ever had in my life.
It’s VERY good. But borderline sandwich?
@@ThreeDogsTwoCatsAndAWife technically a burger IS a sandwich
@@ThreeDogsTwoCatsAndAWife I'd agree with you. If you're craving a burger, it may not satisfy. But it is a delicious Effing ground beef sandwich.
In Canada we have English & French on packaging. Arugula says Roquette on it as well. Must be why the British call it Rocket.
Absolutely right
Correct lmao
I wish Joe would return this enthusiasm when Harry shows him around...😮
Harry is still educating the American and providing more insight about the foods, even on the American’s turf. Sad.
Joe seems depressed. He dressed like a slob AND showed no genuine interest.
@@breal7277I think you’ve mixed the two up. Lol.
@@ovaryacted Yep!
@@breal7277Yikes what a weird thing to say. Tf is wrong with you.
“Arugula is spicy to you guys huh?”
😂😂😂 Such a sick burn
maybe its crossed with a semi spicy green
I'm so glad Joe featured the vegie burger too! That looks great, and it's such a good idea for the restaurants to share menu items
What they didn’t mention is that the owner of Oinkster retired and his son took over. His son is also the owner of Burgerlords so now both restaurants have a little crossover.
Joe & Harry are a dynamic duo
I'm so stoked to see y'all again. I love the dynamic. ❤️
You will be happy to know that Boysenberries are also grown in the UK. We have them in the garden.
forgot Apple Pan
I feel like the Apple Pan should have been on this list.
The Apple Pan is one of the best burger joints ever.
Food tours is another version of Buzzfeeds “Worth It” series 🤤
Joe's a different beast in the States, coming in strong on that bee tangent
:)
There's an oddly passive agressive vibe coming off him. Very peculiar indeed...
I love how you both seem to enjoy each other's company :D Great vibes and great food.
The bromantic comedy of the year. The Odd Couple with an appetite.
Yeah, a boorish and gobby American and a polite, subtle Brit....
Just love this series. Absolute Foodporn Content 👌
Pie n Burger's cheeseburger reminds me of the late 60's/early 70's Marie Callender's coffee shops' burgers in S. CA.
These pair together are superb. Keep these videos coming please.
16:41 I found myself saying "Go on, my son!" as his gob went over it 😆
eating pies and talking about bees. lovely
Goldburger looks just like "Steak 'n Shake" burgers -smashed with crispy edges. They've been around since 1934 and have restaurants in 22 states.
Indeed they do. My understanding is that the "smash burger" is a Central Illinois innovation, and Steak 'N Shake is definitely from there. Obviously anybody can successfully smash a burger, and they are ubiquitous in Illinois and Indiana, but this place seems to have it all figured out
Another great video, and you guys make a great team! Look forward to many more!
This series is magical, thank you!
Love these series look forward to them. To see their reactions to food is priceless 😊🫶 thanks for sharing
Harry & Joe you two do an awesome job For Insider Food !!! Thank you for sharing !!!
Awesome episode, love these guys as hosts. Relatable people finding amazing food
love these guys and love this series
LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOO KEEP EM COMING FOOD INSIDER. THIS IS THE BEST DUO. CANT WAIT TO WATCH THE VIDEO❤❤❤
You kept me 35 minutes engaged without skipping anything best due in food reviews today
I love these episodes. Wish they could revisit them with a hidden camera just to check the quality was not down to "prime time video". These guys rock.
There's a lot of choice for me to sit down and watch tonight, including the X-men'97 finale........but I of course went this first.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Harry's fashion? It's casual, campy and I❤️it! ❤️ Harry/Joe, hence why I subscribed.
Can't believe you didn't go to Apple Pan.
So overrated
@@aaronkristo858 still worthy of a review. The place is iconic.
@@UnCoolDad Because it has been there forever? The burgers aren't good. Very plain.
@@aaronkristo858 Both good/bad and even plain burgers worthy of review. It is a very well known place and as you say - been there forever - unchanged.
Ooh, how about an LA hot dog episode? I'd love to see Harry and Joe try Pink's, Cupid's, and a Dodger Dog.
Your best series for sure.
"Did he train bees?????" im crying lmaooooo
This is my favorite series on CZcams
Love this series!
Of those LA options, The Office Burger®️would be my jam.
how long did you guys have to wait for the fancy burger in the last place that it went from bright day outside to it being dark and the street lights turning on?
The US beef is all grass fed corn finished. At the end they give them a bunch of corn to fatten them up but also because it give the beef a butter slightly sweet note. But they still eat like 95% grass.
: : just started watching these videos on a regular basis because of the interactions between Harry & Joe. They are both equally nerdy (opps .. I mean “passionate”) about food, both laugh at their own jokes & bounce off each other beautifully. Informative & entertaining. : ) Great content. : :
my favourite youtube series, these guys goated
As a Pasadena native it made me happy to see this video!
When I saw the pie and ice cream, for some reason, I was reminded of the Jubilee pancake and ice cream from Little Chef.
The best cheeseburger in LA is at Tommy's Burgers. I drive miles and miles to go there for their chili cheese fries.
Apple Pan!!! 🍔🥧
How do you get Father's office burger without their shoestring fries with garlic aoili?
I wish my town had more local burger places like LA does.
The biggest difference apart from the great taste of course, is that visually, they at least actually look like the pictures that advertise them, unlike the fast food chains, like McDonalds etc
I don’t know why people go there when these places are just as economically viable apart from the last one.
@@fayesouthall6604time and place. We also have some of the best Mexican food you can find but sometimes I just want Taco Bell.
I would have added The Counter to your itinerary. The burger meat is excellent and the topping options are extensive. Delish!
Harry has the best graphic tee collection. Joe Cool is king.
Snoopy is top tier
Great show !!!!!
Father’s Office 😍 been eating that one for years. It’s my favorite burger of all time!
Omg that office burger looks amazing 🤩 ,love your content guys 😊🏴
We need a part 2!!
I live within 15 minutes of Pie and Burger and Oinkster 😮😊
Lucky you 😊 that pie a la mode looked delicious.
great episode, but there are 2 places you didn't show on here that are iconic for the LA burger scene, Original Tommy's for the chili burger, and the Applepan with their hickory burger.
Pie & Burger and Oinkster, what a wonderful episode
I've been waiting for a new episode!!
Me too Joe! "I'm so stoked for today" 😃 😁🍔 🙌
the oinkster was close to my college campus so that brought out a lot of nostalgia. loved their aioli with the fries! haven't been there in forever
Harry and Joe are awesome together.
They really do make a sweet couple 🥰really happy they both seem so happy together
Starting at Pie N Burger is so appropriate, best of the best
Can't get enough of these videos, always excellent, 10/10. Love the ones in England but the USA ones are quality too. Two guys spot on personalities, play off each other perfectly. More entertaining vids please and keep up the outstanding work 👍👍👍👍👍
My FAV man - Harry (and Joe) !!!
Was not expecting the In-N-Out snub
Me too. I’m very surprised they didn’t include them in the video
Support local businesses 💪🏼
i gotta love harry's snoopy joe cool shirt i'm loving the series ever
LESSSSGOOOOO I WAS JUST WAITING FOR A NEW VIDEO
How on earth did you not go to Apple Pan?!
These two are a great duo. More of these two together pls.
this episode is awesome
My mouth is watering!🤤🤤 I can’t wait for lunch break lol
The British English rocket for arugula is adapted from the French “rocquette ». We tend to get food terms from French, hence courgette rather than the Italian zucchini.
Some more incredible LA burgers: Hiho Cheeseburger, Apple Pan and For The Win
ZoeKnowzBurgerz!!!! haven't tried FTW smashboiger but i've heard from several friends that it's the best smash burg in all of
LA!
I fast forwarded through just to find Apple Pan and it wasn't there 😢😢
idk, i was disappointed when i went to the apple pan. i might have to give it another shot. where is hiho cheeseburger?
@@six8rydr2001 Apple Pan is very overrated. HiHo is in Santa Monica. It's good, but be prepared to have an extra charge on your bill to pay for their employees' healthcare. Because that apparently is your responsibility.
Yeah HiHo is great and their fries are really good too
I love to sometimes get an Ube boba tea. It is my favorite savory boba drink.
Nice worker shirt Joe! Great video.
'SNL' 'cheeseburger' sketch 1978.
