#burger #food #cooking - Zábava
We apprciate Guga for waiting 100 years to make this video, it's not easy waiting for 100 years to learn every burger, respect.
Now for the dry age 😅
You got it all wrong. He went BACK in time to pull this one off.
100 years of filming the real question is how are they still alive to this day??!!
BUT that does give him time to throw together a quick side dish
2020 burger must be SHITTY VEGAN BURGER
Fun fact: The Big 'n' Tasty burger (now known as the Big Tasty) is still available here in Malta. When McDonald's originally removed it, the Maltese population complained about it so much that the burger was re-added to the menu as a permanent addition.
Still in Russia, too
You can also still find it in Brazil
Romǎnia too
UK too
france too
As an ex cook at BK, i can say the soul of cooking has died. You don't cook anything yourself, you just put it in a machine, and put the burger itself together. No more seasoning yourself, no more real food, just overpriced garbage. If you ever want real burgers, go to your local family restraunts, or make one yourself, trust me, they're pretty great. (most of the time)
Corporations want that cash. It drains life of everything
Visit italy (even for the burgers)
I still like BK burgers lol. Best of the fast food places near me
Burger KIng was good in the 80s......sigh....also miss the original Pizza Hut pan pizzas....
Lmaooo Imagine thinking working at a fast food Restaurant has anything in Common with the Art of cooking
Most cultured na citizen
Let's not forget the Carl's Jr Western Bacon Cheeseburger with the BBQ sauce and onion rings. That was a memorable moment in burger history that is still available today.
They don't have Carls Jr on the east coast, they do have Hardee's however which is the same company
yeah disappointed Carl's/ Hardees wasn't on the list. the 5 dollar burger era was also epic.
"Kaiser bun" and uses a brioche.
Who the hell is Carl Jr?
The fact that *steamed hams* actually do exist blows my mind
They're obviously not grilled
@DarioVarasG Same here!😂
"It's an Albany expression." - "I see."
So once again... Simpsons ftw
Guga is an odd fellow, but I must say, he steams a good ham.
Onions on the Oklahoma Onion Burger were waaay too thick, they need to be sliced so thin they are transparent ( idealy with a meat slicer really works ), then they melt in the beef fat, and are far less dense.
and pickles balance the sweetness of the onions
i like mine caramelized
As a dude who has his family roots in Oklahoma, I will agree
Not to mention he smashed first then added onions. Top with thinner onions and smash them INTO the beef.
you slice vegetables with a mandoline not a meat slicer lmao
Here in Germany we have something called "Frikadelle/ Bratklops". They are larger meatballs seasoned with fine sliced onions, pickled cucumbers, mustard, salt and pepper (all ingredients are mixed together before beeing cooked in an buttery pan). The Frikadelle is normaly served with a bun on the side.
that sounds so good, not suprising considering german americans made the hamburger
Cheapest are disgusting the more expensive ones are sometimes ok but still not for me and they are pork mainly i think.
@@borahaeist3215it wasn’t made by German Americans . Hamburgers existed before already in Germany. Mostly in Hamburg.
@@scarlettdevina7054 Half-right. From what I recall, the Hamburg Steak was a thing many German immigrants served in restaurants and to serve workers, they put that Hamburg steak between two buns and the Hamburger was born.
FINALLY SOME SENSE
@@scarlettdevina7054
Why does every word you say sound like a question
Idk bro
because his voice goes higher at the end of his words / sentences, which people typically do when asking a question
Don’t talk to Guga like that, you worm
Nice profile
because he is from eurasia.
To be fair, every burger you made was 1000% better than what we get today. This is why I rather cook it at home now. So, good.
Fr
Rise up home cooks!
Amen!
Crispy rare smash burgers with cusos gravel seasoning all the way
My apartment's very poorly ventilated, so smashburgers are kinda out as an option-you can't get the crust right without setting off the smoke alarm in here.
But the thickburgers I make, where the crust develops more slowly as the inside of the patty cooks (got a lot of inspiration from the way Adam Ragusea does them)...I haven't been to Red Robin or any place like it in ages, not when I can get a better burger for a third of the price.
Full story: two German sailors ordered some hamburg steaks to go but they were in a hurry and patties were too hot for them to carry. So the chef have a simple but brilliant idea is to put two slices of bread ( some sources said they were two slices of toast ) and gave them to the sailors. The origin of the Hamburger is somehow still being debate: some ( include me ) believe the Germans created the Hamburger since it is confirmed that the Hamburger is named after the city Hamburg aka the place that the first burger was created, others said that the Americans are those who created the burger since its one of their "national" dish ( i think ) and the sheer amount of variations of burgers that the Americans made, America also consumes a lot of burgers compare to some other places
mate the romans had hamburgers America just want to feel special
@@indeed8211americas made a certain version of the burger
btw this story is made up
Well, I also heard, although I don't know if it's true or not, that the Mongols invented the burger patties.
Is it true?
@@MASViper well basically not mongols but the tartars. since tartar is kinda like a burger patty you could retrace it back to the tartars. they supposedly used to sit on their meat during horserides to soften it and it formed kinda a mass like ground beef.
Bud putting meat in between two bread-like item has been around for centuries
I worked at McDonald's in the late 90's and early 2000's. When we did the Big n' Nasty (We called it that on the line at my store because of how messy it was to make.) I honestly can't say with certainty that it came with Swiss cheese. Everything I remember was that it came with American cheese. The Deluxe might have co.e with Swiss cheese but I can't remember. Great video at any rate. Thanks!
Every drive through I saw, someone would take the "T" off, and it would say, "Big n' asty" lol
Everywhere on the internet I can find specifies two or three slices of Emmental (Swiss) cheese. It's still being served outside of the US
Guga is one of the few who can make this outcome be positive
Kid: "I want cheeseburgers"
Guga: "We've got cheeseburgers at home"
Those homemade macdonald's burgers look fire.
As someone who was a young adult in the 2010s, the ramen burger was NOT very popular. Probably a meme burger. Hearing about it first time today.
I was basically eating fast food exclusively at that time and I have never heard of it..
It was an early instagram viral food trend. I saw it being served in trendy places like SF and LA
They were everywhere for a hot minute
Same as avocado toast.
Right, I recall I had once tried to cook a homemade ramen burger. It was all right but, at the end, my grandma's cheeseburger with fresh bacon and fresh beef from the local butcher, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, relish, lettuce, tomato and old fashioned mash (rutabaga, carrot, potato and parsley boiled then mashed together with milk, butter, salt and pepper) is unbeatable.
It always sounds like guga is getting more questionable when he lists ingredients and I love it.
Outstanding observation
I thought he was doin it on purpose 🤣
Onion powder? Mustard?? Ketchup??? It's like he is questioning his own choices lol
bro is even losing his voice when making the big mac sauce
As a non-native I thought I wouldn't understand something about that intonation. Thanks :D
New Haven native here with fond memories of going to Louis Lunch with my grandfather--a true classic never goes outta style and I make my burgers with toast too.
watching this my mouth was watering the whole time, everything looked so good
1:48 They still serve burgers on toast topped with cheese and caramelized onions in some diners, but it is often referred to as a patty melt.
with a slice of swiss cheese on top on rye toast, very tasty.
nope patty melt is different than the og burger.
Patty melts are different. The whole thing is grilled together usually with Swiss on rye. It was probably popular around the same time, tho.
I Love this format where we get to see how to make amazing burgers but we also get to see the history behind them. Heres hoping to more like this video.
Fully agree, I love me some foodie history.
Idk he should have invited George Motz
I love it too. I also like the channel Tasting History
Thank's guys, for this video. We all love burgers way more than we should.
Seen the first one - the father of all burgers - we get an idea why Hamburgers are called Hamburgers. It's rhe good old roll with a meatball in it. You can get it here in Germany today. Of course it isn't sophisticated at all compared to today's burgers. It is entirely cold. But you guys on the other side of the big lake made something really yummie out of it. Cheers!
bro you are talking in questionmarks
I love that Guga kept sticking up for the onion burger 🤣🤣
start with onion burger and add anything you can think of. we will die fat and happy. cheers.
It's the only spice Guga can tolerate
when he said they aint have the money chill out lmao
A well presented history lesson combined with the usual Guga flair? This is the recipe for greatness
except that the Hamburger came originally out of Hamburg, Germany. Not the US.
@@zwojack7285 The "Hamburg steak" may have come from Deutschland, but the idea to put it on bread comes from (depending on who you ask) Louis' Lunch, the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, or German immigrant communities. In any event, the burger as we know it today is as American as basketball and country music.
except that its not american but german
@@SimuLordwrong. It was already sold in a bun in Hamburg, Germany.
It is really soothing how you say beef. I can listen to that the whole day! Really nice video.
This was such a cool video!! Very good research and well thought out!
Wow I can't believe guga invented time travel just so he could record 100 years of burgers, what an astounding amount of dedication
Fantastic food films with also food for thought! Really nice and transparent!
I haven't checked into this channel in a couple years. Really amped up production, looks great. Happy for all of your success.
I worked at Wendy's in the 90's. We didn't butter the buns. We had an auto toaster. Also, we had Fried Chicken, which was amazing. Seems like they made a lot of bad decisions when I left.
Tried wendys once and got food poisoning
What bad decisions exactly….?
the salad bar was lit at wendys when i was a kid in the 90s also.
Yep, after Dave retired (then died), Wendy's focused on price over quality. Guga also left off the mustard in a "W" on the cheese. The reason the chicken was so good was because it was deep fried in a pressure cooker like KFC did their chicken. Dave started off as a KFC franchisee.
Wendy's fries are atrocious now and they used to have the second best fries next to McDonald's
Guga time travelled 100 years just for this the dedication is insane.
I was hurt that I found out I wasn’t subscribed because I remember subscribing. But all is well I subscribed. I love this channel❤❤❤❤
I had to pause at that picture at 7:36 because it is so highly-detailed! It really gives you a snapshot into what was happening at that McDonald's during that time with the styles and everything. It's almost weird to think of people waiting in line at McDonald's in the 1940s with leather jackets and everyone smoking inside constantly
13:30 "These five guys wanted to choose quality and flavor over profit." Hoo boy. What a sentence to say about Five Guys.
Welcome to five guys how we can scam you today
There's not a burger in this video that I would not eat the living hell out of. They ALL look awesome to me.

I worked at the southern version of White Castle, Krystal, back in the early 1980s. We cooked the onions on top of the square burger patties which were still frozen when we put them on the "grill". It was a large flat, pan-like device.
Krystal is soooo good. When I was a kid whenever we would go to six flags we would always stop by before we left so we could eat them on the way there
I have always loved them. My parents and grandparent's loved them too.@@SweeteaRex

@@guacamolejones6168no. A flat top grill.
I remember watching a video recently from another cooking youtuber about the history of food, who skipped 95% of the time period and went straight to the last few decades to get to interesting modern cuisine. I really appreciate this video going through the early, basic versions so we can get a real feel for how it developed.
Great video! I was patiently awaiting In-In-Out but its all good!
They've been around for 75 years and their quality had never diminished. And when you consider their low prices, hands down they're the best value. I'm mean really, mentioning White Castle and leaving off In-&-Out, that is a dereliction of their culinary duty. Shame on them.
@@commodoor6549 I never checked the location of this channel but I assumed they dont live in a state where In-in-out exist, so I just said, "whateva". I used to live in Cali but Ive been living outside the country for over 15 years. First time I had White Castle was in the frozen foods section lol. Still havent had legit White Castle. America is just so large, location is important.
@@foyo5497 That's a good point, but White Castle isn't close to being in all states. I think the guys in the video live in Florida. Btw, White Castle is not worth going out of your way for. But everyone has heard of it, just like everyone has heard of In-&-Out. They should've covered it.
Fine video... however, you missed a HUGE segment of burger lore that I'll just refer to as the Truckstop & Drive-In Diner Burger. In fact, it was this humble trucker burger that set the standard for all other burgers for decades to this very day! Between circa 1946 to 1966 (before the US Interstate Road System was constructed), the very influential teamsters union of truckers driving on two-lane highways, published booklets designating the most trustworthy truck stops rated as the cleanest and *safest* roadside diners for truckers to get meals while on road. Main reason, food poisoning in those days was a VERY real concern especially for truckers who found out first-hand after getting sick on the road that there were a lot of unscrupulous roadside eateries out there. So these teamster travel booklets were essential. Even if you weren't a trucker, you could get these teamster travel booklets listing the best diners, or you could just watch out for diners that had a lot of trucks parked out front... hence the rule of the road: "trust the truckers!" You have to keep in mind that travelling in those days was in NO way, shape or form as convenient as today! ;)
So. The most popular burger at that time, was akin to the Micky-D regular burger - though still shy of a quarter pounder. It included a hearty bun with mustard, ketchup and pickles (cheese optional). The secret to the Truckstop Diner Burger was all about the well baked buns they used. Since many truckers would order food "to-go," the burger bread had to hold up well and not go soggy - while at the same time keeping the meat warm to give that "warm meal experience." By the 1950s, with the ushering in of a new-found passionate love for the automobile, the "Drive-In" style diners of "American Graffiti" and "Happy Days" fame took center stage as part of the American dream (and this still years before Micky-D got traction in the early 1960s - which sorry to say you kinda got the dates wrong on that, but not a big deal).
Part of the secret - it must be said - was that all these diners got their unique diner supplies from just a few large wholesale restaurant suppliers - the two biggest being Sexton and SERCO, who studied the newly emerging roadside diner demand, and helped solve diner's food-services related problems for feeding the travelling masses. So, this became the burger you saw just about everywhere you stopped while travelling around America in those years - just a basic burger with mustard, ketchup & pickle, set a trend as the standard burger. The Bob's Big Boy is often associated with being about as close as it gets to the roadside burger of the day, but even that burger has gone through upgrades and changes. Denny's also used to serve a pretty close cousin of the original road burger, but I haven't had a Denny's burger as of late.
Still... All that said, a fun video! Just a bit puzzled that your research didn't uncover this common humble road-side "Truckstop Burger" that was without a doubt the standard by which all other burgers would be compared for decades. Yes! It was THAT tasty and satisfying! Not to mention... it still smacks of influence in every burger we eat today! (Credentials: Employee-logistics manager for whole-sales food dining & distributor services 1960s.)
Thanks for mentioning Sexton. I just became aware of them when trying to discover the origins of the classic Potato Chip Tuna Casserole. Love it or hate it!
I'd argue to say McDonald's was actually very popular even in the 50's as by 1958 they announced that they'd sold about 100 million burgers, which is pretty impressive for a company with less than 1,000 restaurants at the time
This comment should be pinned. Thank you!
Excellent info, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for such a story
As versions of the meal have been served for over a century and its origin remains obscure.
The 1758 edition of the book The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse included a recipe in 1758 as "Hamburgh sausage", which suggested to serve it "roasted with toasted bread under it."
A similar snack was also popular in Hamburg by the name "Rundstück warm" ("bread roll warm") in 1869 or earlier and supposedly eaten by many emigrants on their way to America, but may have contained roasted beefsteak rather than Frikadeller.
It has been suggested that Hamburg steak served between two pieces of bread and frequently eaten by Jewish passengers travelling from Hamburg to New York on Hamburg America Line vessels (which began operations in 1847) became so well known that the shipping company gave its name to the dish.
Each of these may mark the invention of the hamburger and explain the name.
@@leonrowe5445????????
That Hamburg roll you describe was commonly pork, because, Germans, fried pork food... ( I also ate a *lot* of them while stationed in Germany.)
Anyway. It makes sense that such a popular (and cheap) dish would be served to passengers emigrating, and seeing as pork would be a non-starter for the Jewish passengers then a beef alternative would be a simple solution. (A fried beef 'pattie' between two pieces of bread, hmmm, might prove popular where we are moving to...)
I have zero proof of any of this fun thought experiment, though delving into the the history and facts behind it might prove entertaining. (Plus an excuse to revisit the Reeperbahn.)
@@leonrowe5445 Antisemitic much?

In the 90's our cheap go to was Hot n Now 39 cent burger ! We would get a bag full of them when we were in college.
And don't forget about the first Double Decker Burger invented at Big Boy Restaurant back in1937 !!
All these 100 years videos are nice loving em
Need to get George Motz involved in this, he has unrivaled knowledge of all of these burgers - how they came about, how they're made, everything. Would be great to see a collab with him sometime.
ah yeah. I'm very surprised they didn't ask him to come out and be in the video. Plus he most likely would have brought some of the original equipment they would have used back then for authenticity sakes.
It very much feels George's series has inspired this one. I love that so much education on the burger history is being spread on the internet. Makes me want to visit America so badly 😊
@@windofhorus666 We've got so many great regional burger specialties (but you know that already; you've watched George Motz) that if I were in your position I'd hardly know where to start!
One that people sleep on is the specialty of where I grew up in the North Shore suburbs of Boston. Find any roast beef place with "Famous" anywhere in its name (like Billy's Famous Roast Beef and Seafood in Wakefield, MA) and order a cheeseburger. Fast-food inspired but way better than fast food.
Or grab a Super Beef (roast beef sliced thin and piled high with mayo and BBQ sauce on an onion roll...mmm...one problem is that it'll permanently ruin Arby's for you.)
@@SimuLord if we are talking roast beef dripping as well I'm on the next flight haha
Yeah some of these burgers had the right ingredients but the wrong techniques. Would be nice to see George help out!

First Hamburgers were obviously made in the city of Hamburg/Germany. It made its way into the USA on board of ships with immigrants, Hamburg is a large harbor from which many ships left towards the USA. There's proof of these being sold at the World Convention in 1904 in St. Louis, evidentally named "Hamburg" after the city without the added "er" at the end.
Stop lying bro.
@@liberalbias4462 it's the truth, sorry if you don't like it.
Ehh I mean the very concept of burgers have existed wayyy before Germany was even an idea the first recorded recipe was Isicia Omentata which was from Rome and while granted its a bit more complicated than burgers we know. But burgers as a concept are pretty simple to the point where there are probably recipes from before this one.
@@jpawlus33458 Hamburg has also existed way before Germany was even an idea (it was founded and named around 1200 years ago while the area is populated for more then 2500 years). While there might have been meat & bread combined before in other civilizations the concept named Hamburger originates from Hamburg and it spread to the USA by immigrants from Hamburg/using Hamburg as emmigration harbor. You don't have to believe me, you can just google it.
@@jpawlus33458you are talking about sandwiches. But actual Hamburgers come from Hamburg, Germany.
The fried onion burger is something we love in the UK. Usually served by food trucks at festivals and sports games.
In Antwerp as well - we call it "burgers from the market" because they're only sold at food truck of traveling open air market. The main difference is the bread - we use a "pistolet", which is a typical Belgian bun. Similar in size and shape, but it's crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, while American style buns are soft and buttery and then toasted on the inside to give it some crunch.
we know you like our afterthoughts...with that being said our afterthoughts are fiyahhhh
@@nelsonbohanon2190 bruh you literally ripped off our language and culture. Do you realise apple pie is a British creation. Your country is like 200 years old, England has been around for thousands of years
@@petermarks7048so…English immigrants to America ripped off your language and culture? Weird, considering that it was their language and culture and they merely brought it to a new home where it then underwent relatively normal changes being now separated from Great Britain. Plus, English in its own right ripped off many other languages: the amount of words that were simply ripped out of other languages-namely from German, French, and Latin, among others-completely discredits your viability in trashing “American English” as being illegitimate. It’s just another dialect, and if you want to get technical, it’s a more globally successful dialect, at that. Silly argument to try to get into.
@@james-cain shut up you have no history. America is just a made up country.
cheese on the bottom is the correct technique when cooking burgers for a lot of people at a gathering because its easier for them to add whatever condiments they want without sticky cheese getting in the way.
I have to make them myself now, but there was a Chef at AMC in kansas City that used to make a Jam burger that was to die for.
The biggest difference I see right away is they way they were cooked. NONE of the mainstream burger joints will cook you a burger anything but well done. It would be a food safety nightmare for them to do so. Every burger Guga cooked was around medium to medium well, which is the way I do mine most of the time. That alone will make every one of those have a better taste.
In the burger joint I usually eat my lunch they let you order your burgers rare, medium or well done if you so like.
They made it so you have to cook them well done for one simple reason bacteria grows on the surface of the meat and ground beef gets mixed several times or kneaded if you will while makeing burgers so the bacteria is mixed in so unlike a steak where you can just sear the top botttom and edges killing the bacteria the ground beef has to be brought to temperature to be safely eaten.
It's a personal preference. Everyone likes their meat cooked differently. It might taste better for you but not everyone else.
@@dragonballspaghetti154 no its for health and safety reasons you cant legally order a burger in canada anything under well done
Different country different rules
that thing wasnt invented in louis lunchor anywhere in USA but in Hamburg. Its a century old dish the "Hamburger Hacksteak" and because it was a port city the sailors needed to be back on ship fast so they took their Hamburger Hacksteak to go
thx that someone says the truth
Los yanquis son muy dados a inventarse historias para vender que ellos han inventado algo, no os preocupéis, que en el resto del mundo sabemos que las "hamburgers" son de "Hamburg". Saludos desde España.
That's the story I've always heard.
Pretty much like the frankfurter comes from Frankfurt
Did they also come in a bun? Like American style ones?
Give me a Oklahoma Fried burger all damn day Guga! Stayed in Okeene Oklahoma at a camp site and some locals made that exact burger( Red onions) simple, tasty, and great for campfire songs and conversations!
Great job guys this was like going through a food museum. Guga you really did your research and recreate the burgers authentically.
👍🏽👍🏽
Never heard of the ramen noodle one but been a kids from the 1960s I had tried almost all the other ones. Wendy’s changed my life. I fell in love with the triple with cheese. My girlfriend at the time (my wife now of 43 years) was looking for a part time job so …. I took her to apply at Wendy’s and she got the job. I use to go pick her up and at closing I could eat all I wanted for free😂. Now I only do smash burgers. My number 2 burger is the smoked non flip burgers.
Those smoked burgers are good, but gotta agree with you on the smashed. Either smashed with onions(like the Oklahoma style), or just smashed on a griddle. Something about that thin and crispy meat that is just perfect.
@@bionicpope we had smash burgers for dinner yesterday and every time I'm amazed by the flavor and juiciness of the burgers. I like mine with just cheese and bacon on a butter toasted bun. My supermarket sell the Chuck/brisket burgers and I just cut them to size. THANKS GUGA!!!!
Guga says twice something like "this was very popular" referring to the ramen burger. No. No, it was not. I don't know what 2010's Guga lived in, but in my 2010's I never even heard of a ramen burger.
We need more of dis🤞
i just love the simplicity of the oklahoma fried onion burger. but i like to add a little bit of mustard to the onions before flipping the patty.
I absolutely love this way of making videos, combining food and history is a great idea, please continue doing so!
this is so done well. honestly a history lesson at the same time a nostalgic lession. Goood jerb guys. love watching your vids
The best burger i ever had, was visiting my grandparents in Troy NY, it was a Caramelized onion burger, with a good amount of catsup, that would steam the bun, on the way from the burger shop, to grandmas house. Those burgers became a first night of our visit tradition, starting in the late 60's, throughout the 70's.
i saw this at 2am; now im hungry thanks for the epic video. Guga foods should open 1 real burger franchise.. :)
Great video guys! I really appreciate the historical storytelling and the welcome absence of manufactured drama. Well done, and it would be great to see more of this content. Excellent work! ❤❤❤
This is the best video on this channel so far in my opinion! Awesome job. It has all the cooking and conversation I love about this channel as well as some really interesting history, just amazing
my pops has an old kattel grill and still cooks on it when we go fishing
i miss those days
The original Five Guys in Arlington, Virginia unfortunately was torn down when the building it was in was demolished. My wife and I lived in Fairlington practically across the street and it was a regular go to.
It really shows how much we love burgers because we have the full recipes from 100 years ago. Great video Guga!
We have the Big Tasty all over Europe. In France, it has been on the menu for like 15-20 years as a limited special, usually once or twice a year for a month. It seems to be full time since a couple of years now.
In some restaurants (in France at least), another type of burgers can be found and I highly recommend them for a change : a beef patty between 2 potato patties. To make potato patties, grate or mince potatoes, season, form the patty (1/2 to 3/4 inch thick), cook like your meat, and these are your buns replacement. Feels more gourmet than a regular burger. Put sauce and veggies as you wish :)
His version is closer to the big tasty not the big n tasty, that had mayo and ketchup not special sauce. I don’t know why they made different versions but I only had the mayo version and the mcdlt from the 80’s that was the same but came in a foam container.
Those potato patties are a separate dish in East Slavic countries called draniki
Guga i really like these kind of vid keep on making them❤

“A Goodnator or a bad one”.
Guga, 2023😂😂😂
Bruh🤣🤣🤣
This content is terrific! Love the variety and information, thanks guys.
6:54 fun fact: i work at mcdonalds and the burgers are still assembled upside down to this day
I can tell when I take my wrapper off and the sesame seeds come falling out from the bottom
my boy guga cooked every burger perfectly
Great job on this video. I really want a burger now.
can we all just take a moment to appreciate this guy taking 100 years of his life to make these burgers? true commitment to the craft right there! good stuff!
everyone be copying the same joke in the comments like they thought of it!
yeah well i actually created this joke back in 1826 soooooo
d
@@devinmichaelroberts9954 it's not that deep dawg
Love Guga. But not a single burger from Texas where they were invented. Instead American copy cat knockoff ground meat sandwiches. Burgers have mustard. Not mayo or ketchup or salad dressing. Americans are sick.
This is amazing!!
I would've loved to taste them all made by you @GugaFoods . One thing I noticed about you saying about Five guy's is they wanted to take quality over profit, yet it's one of the most expensive fast food restaurants atleast it is here overseas in the Netherlands.
Not sure if you have done a item about meatballs but it could be interesting considering how many different type of meatball recipes there are around the world. Here in the Netherlands we call it "Broodje ball" and one can use all type's of bread or buns and often add mustard only. But the meatbal can be good for many dishes.
this was a cool ass video! This was an awesome format and you clearly did your research. Not to mention, the editing department really went all out finding photographs and visual aids to make this video truly shine. Bravo Gustavo (Guga) and family!
CÓMO QUE GUGA ES DE GUSTAVO.
Guga, I really enjoyed the burgers by decade, but I think some of the more recent decades could have their own videos to showcase multiple burgers. In the early 2000s, Hardee's introduced their "6 dollar burger" (which was actually less than 6 dollars) along with their other "thickburger" line. Being a broke young man working 40+ hour a week doing manual labor, I can tell you those burgers were an absolute game changer for me.
_Dude!_ The Frisco Burger from Hardee's. That was my jam in the 90s. Haven't had one in a decade since there's no Hardee's near me.
@@danielseelye6005 Oh yeah the Frisco burger was great as well!
The Western Bacon Six Dollar Burger from Carl's Jr. (same company, different name on the west coast) got me through college at Nevada-Reno. That and the Del Beef Burrito from Del Taco.
@@danielseelye6005 Remember when you could get two pieces of bone-in fried chicken, a burger AND a hotdog for less that $5? That was peak Hardee's.
The Hamburger was btw created in North Germany. Today we also eat burgers in the first form, but we dont call them "burgers", but "Bulettenstulle"
I was hoping you would integrate the German prototype, because the German city of Hamburg is included in the myth of the first hamburger. It was said that the first German emigrants to America needed a cheap meal during the crossing and that's why they sold a patty between a bun with a little gravy on the ships. Otherwise very good video, greetings from Germany
Big Tasty is still available in Europe, not as big, but tasty AF.. its the only burger i actually like from McD's :) thanks for the sauce recipe, always was curious what's made of :D
You’re not gonna believe this but I am a 26 year old man living in TEXAS and I still haven’t had my first big mac yet
Genocide blood burgers, no thank you
@@AbuZak14 The kiss of death always adds a bit of zing!
My mothers favorite burger was the McRib, which funnily enough is the only pork burger they sell.
Yeah in the UK we get it every few months, only time I go McDonald’s tbh
In Oklahoma it’s always easy to find onion burger places because you can smell them from blocks away. They are so good!!!
White Castle for the win. When i moved to CA from NYC, one of the (many many many) things I missed was White Castles.
I thought classic burgers like the onion burger were fried in a deep griddle, so the onions would absorb all the juices from the dozens of burgers you were cooking at the time.
Healthy? No. Delicious? Yes.
Beef tallow is good for you tho I’d call that healthy
@@noahleonard6075healthy in moderation *
The oklahoma onion burger has not been traditionally deep fried. These days, there is more beef, and there is cheese and condiments, so they are a lot better.
@@markwarner5554 Not deep fried, grilled in its own juices.
instead of a flat griddle we use these days, where the oil is scraped off to the side (for later recycling), the griddle was about one inch deep, so you'd have a good layer of oil there by end of lunch rush.
The onions and top would pick up all the frond, making them very flavorful.
@@msstry1Moderation means consuming enough to satiate. That is what a balanced diet is.
In the Netherlands the Mac Donalds Big and Tasty is still available. It's changed somewhat because they add bacon. The name also changed slightly to simply the Big tasty. My favorite mac burger
The Big Tasty Bacon is also my favourite McDOnald's Burger (in Germany). It surprises me they don't have in the US
same fave mcdonalds burger here, europe ftw@@BrutzeBratze
In Switzerland it also still exists. But in four variants: Big Tasty, Big Tasty Bacon, Big Tasty Double (two patties), Big Tasty Double Bacon.
@@fabiankunzle1952 Nice. Over here we have the two patties version too now that i think of it.
Mind blowing amazing info 💜💜
That's so cool how you made it black & white
The 1900 version is exactly how I make MY hamburgers. The only difference is that I use 90/10 ground beef and because I don't have one of those old fashioned broilers, I sear mine on the stove and finish them in the oven. I usually have mine on a Kaiser roll with just ketchup but I WILL use toasted bread if I don't have the rolls.
It's the way my late mother always made them and I grew up on them.
I don't go in for all these fancy sauces, vegetables and condiments.
i love how when guga is listing things he says the contents like a question. hes like "some ketchup? mustard? pickles? onions?" i love it
Who came after niepsclub meme>>>>>>
OMG whenever they squeeze the burger and the juices come out it makes me so hungry for a burger
The big tasty bacon has to be my favourite mcdonalds burger of all time. The big tasty sauce is just so damn good. It blows everything else on mcdonalds menu out of the water.
I just don’t think anything could beat their mcdlt, it was just so good, I used to get one when I was a kid, then when I was 16 and worked there I liked the arch deluxe
yes but it is only the sauce that is so good haha. I think you could get any burger with that sauce and it would taste all great. Tried to make this sauce for myself so many times but nothing ever came close. There is a saue "white bbq" from devleys which is kinda like the sauce, as far as i know they are the official mcd sauce partners, but their sauces you can by at the store are a little bit different. What a shame. I want that sauceeee.
@@Marco-xz7rf
The secret ingredient is a dash of cancer added to it.
Absolutely agree on this. In Czechia and Slovakia we do have it in menu as a stable item. There was even a cheeseburger and chicken burger with the big tasty sauce this year. I am getting mcdonalds mainly these.
Guga you knocked it out of the park with this video. I love videos like this how good changes over time.
They all look good, i liked always the most from the Burger chains the Big King XXL. 🍔
I love White Castle ! That’s one of the things I love about my city you can always count on delicious fresh hot sliders 24 hrs a day!🙌🏽
