let the man talk josh😭
I was thinking the same thing, you got the expert of burgers and he's barely letting him talk ffs.
There wasnt room for Josh’s ego and the man’s voice in the same room 😭
I like Josh, but he’s a bit of a narcissist. Big ass ego, but he’s undoubtedly a talented chef.
@@Sniperboy5551 yeah he really needs to take it and go down a couple notches
Taking a page out of Schulz's book
It feels like Josh was focused on elevating the burger to another level while George wanted to distill the burger to its purest form
Very nice, concise summary of the video. Nice!
I just wonder why he didn't grind various beef cuts (like short rib, brisket and maybe bone marrow) for an even better tasting perfect burger.
the difference between someone who cooks for Social Media vs someone who Cooks for Restaurants
I think Josh came to the same opinion in the end! Damn it sounded good.
It's like that parks and rec's clip, where someone makes an extremely fancy burger and ron just makes a cheese burger and everyone prefered it.
George is the master, keeping quiet, letting the apprentice work it out on his own
exactly that. And George's whole MO is "you can put whatever you like on a burger if you think it's good... make it YOU, but here is the history and some ideas for you to try". Dude just wants us to be empowered to make our own way in the burger-verse, but respect the history.
Absolutely correct!
George hasn't forgotten with whom his base consists, i.e. the poor or middle class. One's pallet, no matter how refined must be curtailed to those with whom are your audience consists of. i.e. the majority of ones viewers. Never forget were your audience comes from. Even if they aren't as educated as you, they are still your audience.
This is Josh's channel not his not nobody else
I'm shocked you didn't put George in the thumbnail. Your view count would've been much higher if you did.
Literally me looking at the thumbnail. "Well, this is gonna be a mega pretentious video", then I hovered over it and saw George and immediately clicked to watch it.
@@krispbacon9474 Still was a mega pretentious video lol
@@Chayaroo21😂🤣💯
The amount of patience that Professor Motz displayed was incredible.
his videos have become so souless hes just a content machine at this point
@@ismbkswhy watch and follow him
I’ve been watching since May of 21 and have NEVER seen someone actually criticize your food, which really makes this guest special, not that your food needs criticism but I think it only helps you, have him back on the channel
Was thinking the same.. it's good for Josh to get some push back on occasion. Instead of his usual crew who are more.. pushovers, lol.
The whole episode was only about Josh. Not sure why he had George on for this. George is a legend!
That's the thing, we need someone to actually criticise his food, and someone who isn't friends or paid by him.
uncle Roger does criticize him yknow
When George speaks about burgers, you listen
George is the burger master for a reason! Josh’s burger definitely made my mouth water, but George knew what kind of burger I wanted before I asked for it! Good old army phrase is “keep it simple stupid”, which basically means adding extra bells and whistles doesn’t mean it’ll work better. I really enjoyed this episode and I REALLY look forward to seeing what food you make next!
I love this concept of going through the ingredients and you and guest make something different.
My favorite part is when Josh invites an expert and doesn’t let them talk
He talked plenty you jackass
I don’t really see that. The expert fills in where he needs to fill it, plus the video is edited plus this is Josh’s show.
@@alexandrakapo6271 then you should watch the start of the video again lol. josh literally monologues for like 2 mins straight.
@@SagittarA So what? George just simply gave his opinions. Or do you expect him to talk for minutes on end? I think he talked enough.
@metalhead6783 If you focus on George's mouth, you can see there are numerous times he wanted to speak but couldn't. Either it was edited out or he wasn't given the chance to speak.
You can never beat George Motz in a burger game. He's the GOAT.
the goooaat-t-t.
he's like the diet, american version of James May
@@michaelwesten4624 what, a total blowhard? As one myself, I recognise one.
Nah, he's a joke. Recommends burgers where the only flavour is fat-on-fat-on-fat-on-fat. It's American sensationalism bullshit, not good food. George Motz is to Burgers what Jamie Olive-oiler is to celebrity chefs. He's just an entertainment media personality that people think is God while he recommends literal fucking grease soaked slopfest shit sandwiches, to have a bunch of dipshits who haven't had much beyond A&W and McDonalds or Five Guys or some other generic tavern/pub bullshit go 'OMG HE KNOWS EVERYTHING'. ANd what's the purpose?
To market his own exceptionally shitty burgers. That's what his entire platform is for. Ever eat a George Motz burger? I have. Guess what? A&W is better. McDonalds is better. It's a low fucking bar, and his can't even meet fast food industry garbage.
He is a nobody, and his burger is trash
love george!! we need more guests like him that really break down all these awesome details about food! you guys bounced off of eachother very well, and it was nice to hear his opinion. 💖🙌 always love your content josh!
One of my favorite episodes so far! Great job!!!
Nobody knows a burger like George. Perfect addition.
If only he could've said more than thirteen words it would have been amazing!
George makes a decent burger. Went to his restaurant and personally 5 guys is better. Just sayin
@@CT-kv3bx 👀👀
@@CT-kv3bx he makes traditional oklahoma smash onion burger, comparing it to 5 guys with all the sauce and everything is just not right imo. josh rated 5 guys burger lower than burger king in one of his video and he rated onion burger really high
@@prohanta9360 I would too if I was a promoter. Problem with the kids these days is you are soooo gullible to marketing. So guys like that take advantage of you. The exact reason why free streaming platforms now have ads! Why. People like you
josh: toppings cannot overpower the burger
josh: *puts 1/4 cup of sauce on burger*
It's almost as if he doesn't care about anyone else's opinion except his own
It's his burger he knows what he wants.
all the while burgers don't have sauce, they have mustard.
@@motorbreath22 what he wants is a meatloaf sandwich then. Because burgers don't have mayo or ketchup. They have mustard
Sorry bro but a burger with out ketchup is not a burger, I don't care for pickles and very particular about onions, and tomatoes make me want to throw up. I'm on team saucy!@@ryankiblinger3382
This kind of editing is really jarring, and it makes you look like you just have George motz to stand there and look pretty while you just do your standard video. Why even have him on when you cut 90% of what he says and piece together a few words every now and then in between your constant jumpcuts? This is such a shame
I completely agree with you
this is modern youtube, 50 cuts a minute and way over edited to justify 'the team', let the guest speak a bit
@@gohabs9 because people like you wouldnt be able to focus through a full video without the random 50 cuts, and would click off the video.
@@krippo1053lmao fr 😂
@krippo1053 lmao what an insult. As someone who loves himself long form essay style videos, that is a damning insult
I've been going down a Motz CZcams wormhole the last 3 to 4 weeks. I've probably had smash burgers at home 6 times in that time....everything from the slugo, to the OK fried onion, to the ridiculous green chili burger. To see JW and George work together during this culinary phase of my life is OUTSTANDING. Loved this video! Now, get Josh with Aaron Frankin or Johnny (Jirby) White and we'll have a culinary BBQ explosion on the CZcamss.
I love george dude,he's such a chill guy and really confident in his stuff
I want the “but better” series back😔❤️
"but better" series, but better
true
when did it leave?
Same
@@blindphotographer7636 it never did
Love the professor honesty and Josh being totally humble. Really loved this one.
Thank you for the video! Learned a lot actually in 20 minutes and there was a great balance between the two speakers! Happy to know the differences in textures, juiciness and sauciness!!
George's burger is the literal definition of "burger". No tricks, no bullshit, none of that "instagram-ability". Just straight burger.
George; I don’t know you, but by your comments, attitude and way of talking I feel like you are an expert in your field and a humble man. Good job and you have a new follower!
If you want to see more of him, check out First We Feast’s Burger Show. He’s pretty prominent on there.
The man is a true burger historian. Go check out his stuff on First We Feast. The man's an ocean of knowledge when it comes to burgers.
@@CenturyBlade cool thanks!
@@joshuamcnames7605 awesome. Thanks bud!
Yes! I needed this. Two frickin legends together!
I loved this piece. Food for thought.
I love that George was constantly flexing on Josh.
Love how josh always over-engineers his food, but the real secret to being a next level cook is doing more with less.
The videos are to entertain people. ZERO people want to watch a random, normal burger get grilled with nothing cool about it
love this comment
That’s why I like watching Marco Pierre White’s cooking videos. He uses real world ingredients a lot, and isn’t as snooty as some chefs are these days, though he could afford to be.
@@ryanspencerlauderdale687 same for me and SortedFood or Brian Lagerstrom. They do actualy midweek cooking.
@@jtrot56I’d rather watch a George Motz video and eat a simple burger, than a narcissistic person, who thinks he’s better than everyone else.
Love when a guest shows josh that he isnt above everything xD really nice episode
The videos have gotten a lot better in the past couple of months, I am becoming a big fan again.
Potato bread is one of the most underrated foods in the world. It’s so good even not toasted with some butter on it. Makes a great late night munchies snack
It is unobtainable where I live. As is the famous 'Hawaiian' buns you hear about, They just don't exist here. We do get really good buns that are called kaisers but which are not especially crispy crusted and not chewy at all. Their only drawback is they are 6" across, so your burger cannot be two patties lest you actually die trying to eat it. They toast beautifully, and can be found with poppy seeds, but not usually sesame seeds. they bear very little resemblance to actual kaiser rolls, which also exist here, but they sure are delicious. Biggest problem with them is they are like baguette in that they are stale in 12 hours.
I'm going to have to try it for my next burger. I'm not ashamed to say every time I go past potato bread at the supermarket I simply ignore it 😬 Never tried it, and it looks like I should! 😯
@@djoscartj literally the best bread.
We use potato buns for our ham and cheese sandwiches lol so yummy and better than your standard white bread
Been waiting for George to grace Josh’s channel, two of my favorite food bros
I've never heard of George before. I'm gonna have to check him out now. This was a pretty good episode.
This was very interesting to see Josh, George looks a very cool guy! Big hug for both, loved the video !
Thank you. I actually learned a lot today.
I like that you discussed the top options for each factor. It started to give me ideas on different combos, like pretzel bun with smash burger and provolone for a random different flavor combo when I want something less traditional
LEGENDARY BURGER CROSSOVER
This was not the crossover we all wanted, but it was the crossover we needed
What crossover? He barely let George speak... crossover should be like 50/50. This was like 95/5. Meh...
This is what I have been waiting for, the Collab of the century !!!
My two favorite blazin' chefs together, dream come true!
Nice demonstration showing that less toppings and sauces can sometimes deliver more flavor. Thank you both for this experience backed, terrific tutorial!!
George is a freaking legend! Met him when he did a pop up in Manhattan a few years ago and had the best burger of my life. Very chill and down to earth dude to boot.
I never see your videos in my sub page so I forget you exist sometimes, but it makes for a great video binge when I remember
A true statment of not needing to over complicate food. More often than not, simple things done correctly just cant be beat.
Man the Colonel Sanders origin story just gets better and better. Glad we have a whole channel to watch his rise to greatness!
God that would make a great youtube shorts skit series.... Great enough it might even make up for how awful shorts are.
This was great! I completely lost it with the sort of record skip moment when George had the sauce, but he quickly said I wouldn’t put it on my burger though (even though he absolutely loved it ). Hahah.
Seems like Josh learned a lesson in this video too! Almost less is more. Well done on this video!
One of my favourite videos of yours 🤘
Great video. George is a lot of fun!
The crossover we’ve all been waiting for
bro i love watching food videos, for some reason, so satisfying 🤣
This is the Weissmann content I love!
wow crazy i have been on a burger learning kick and you make this, with the man himself!
George is a national treasure. There should be a burger holiday.
I love what he said about sauces. Don't need them.
I like a little ketchup, even though I hate mayo I can live with a “burger sauce.” Most restaurants just drown it in sauce though, I just need the bun to be a little moist so it goes down easier.
A chef once said that sauces are like lingerie on a stunningly beautiful woman: unnecessary, yet delightful.
It was me. I was the chef.
For any melted cheese application for sandwiches or burgers, american cheese is a great tool to use.
I like combining it with a cheese that has a bit more taste like cheddar. The emuslifier in the american really helps the cheddar not get greasy, and the cheddar really helps the flavor overall.
Jughead profile picture is perfect for this video.
I am convinced that there is not a SINGLE perfect burger, but there are best in class for the different patties. Both of yours look fantastic, and I will have to try to make them both.
The collab we never knew we needed
My favorite is also variation of the Oklahoma smashburger. Bottom bun, spread of caramelized onions, bottom smash patty, cheddar cheese, top smash patty, american cheese, pile of stringy grilled onions, yellow mustard, top bun. Making proper caramelized onions is time consuming, so I make them in relatively large batches and freeze them in ice cube trays. I add a little beef broth so they come out of the trays easier when frozen.
this sounds so good omg
Quick search revealed this is legit and caramelized onions do freeze well, what a game changer 🤯 I'm going to be so happy after I stock up!! Thanks for the tip
Have you considered doing more shared critique vids? It is a fun format that leads to surprises for both parties. I always remember the Chef Netflix series where Favreau and Roy Choi make kimchi (I think) and Roy likes Jon's better, but Jon says, "Chef, this is YOUR old recipe."
Either way great vid!
You’re one of my favourite CZcamsrs, I’ve been here since 40k subscribers I’m so proud of the evolution ❤. Wanna help me pay my fine so i can still watch you instead of going to jail LMAO?
So first off, if you are a burger person and not just that chicken nugget at Chilis kid who only eats one thing, you know there are different perfect burgers. Some burgers are AMAZING with cheddar cheese. Jack n the box puts different "color" cheeses on their burgers and they're pretty great. Different burgers for different situations.
Personally, the situation also changes completely when you use a different meat, like Bison. So definitely agree.
Fully agree. Sometimes you want the greasy almost no toppings smash burger, sometimes a thick medium cooked patty with all the toppings and sauce. Sometimes raw onions, sometimes caramelized. In the end a burger is a sandwich and more of a concept than a specific dish.
Josh hates White Castle. That alone disqualifies him as a burger expert.
Colby Jack- smooth easy melt with more flavor than American but easier than Cheddar to melt without greasiness. Should be in the final group.
I frikking looove your smile in the thumbnail, it’s like full of joy bro
You invited a man who is "expert" in hamburgers just to stand and taste stuff with you. Where the expert stuff, the information, the demonstration, the wisdom????
Were you listening to him at all?
Just got myself some Ramen, looked on youtube and found that this was just uploaded. Could not be more perfect.
In Summer i tend to halfway smash/Grill the patties. I put an Iron Plate on the half of my (charcoal)grill, smash the patty on the plate and turn it around on the grill. So you have the smashed crust on the one side plus some grilled flavour.
both of you are legends
You can't go wrong trusting a man with Wolverine level sideburns. Also, it's hard to believe that the word "bacon" was never uttered once in this video.
You bring up a really excellent point here. I live in NYC and I’ve been to Hamburger America a few times - - it really is pretty spectacular. It’s like having a burger that’s just what a burger IS.
And what I realized is that bacon is a crutch. Bacon is just great on its own, and covers up a lot of mistakes in cooking. That’s why the fast food chains are all so bacon crazy, it’s covering up the fact that their burgers themselves are pretty terrible.
If the perfect burger needs bacon, it has failed.
George Motz is a got damn national treasure. The man is almost single handedly bringing us all back to the good days of simple burgers.😊
Perfect timing on this video for me because I'm making burgers tonight. Josh's burger looked nearly perfect to me, maybe just a bit too much sauce. I'll be adding some nice crispy bacon into mine. Great video.
I'm so hungry now, oh my goooddddd those both look so freaking good
Been using your burger sauce for awhile now and won't make a burger without it now. So good! And if you're gonna be in the kitchen making it (caramelizing onions takes a bit), then there's no excuse to not make the homemade buns too. Looking forward to burger season!
I appreciate how you tried to school the literal Burger Scholar on burgers. Great stuff.
out of all the resturants that you made even better, but I never seen example El Pollo Loco make that fast food i would love to see that
“I’m not putting it on MY burger” why u so cold George 💀💀💀😂😂😂
I've been refining my own "perfect burger" recipe over the last 3 years. It includes a milkbread brioche bun, 80/20 beef mixed with my homemade black garlic compound browned butter to slightly up the fat content and flavor (side note, I make my own butter from home, it's far superior to any store-bought stuff), spiced pickled red onions, smoked gouda, and my own special sauce made from black garlic, worcester, dijon, MSG, and a handful of other things. I've fed this burger to several people before, a few of them have even said it was better than the best premium A5 Wagyu burgers they had in Japan, which I took as the highest compliment!
yes, smoked gouda with pickled onions is the way to go for sure, this sounds amazing
Nobody puts A5 in a burger so this comment is complete nonsense
@@TheBeastBony Burger Revolution in Tokyo amd Olu Burger in Kyoto, look it up before pretending to know everything.
That is a great compliment! Your sauce sounds nice!
Is it difficult to make your own butter?
@@karinewilson1752 Thank you! Making butter is simpler than you'd expect, but I love to over-complicate things to make them the best. Basically put heavy cream in a stand mixer and beat it like you're making whipped cream, but beat it for like 20 minutes. It separates into a glob of butter and buttermilk, about equal parts each. Collect the butter together and rinse it under cold water to remove all the buttermilk from it (since that's what ultimately causes it to spoil). That's the basics, but if you want to improve the flavor, put the butter in a Dutch oven at low-med heat for about 20 minutes to boil off all the moisture, concentrating it down. After that, turn the heat up to medium and stir constantly, eventually the milk solids separate and start to toast and caramelize. From there you take it off the heat, and you can either leave in the milk solids for more flavor, or filter them out to have what is essentially super flavorful ghee. I prefer ghee since it is the best for high-heat cooking, it's smoke point is like 100F higher than most oils!
Weird to see Motz's perfect burger at the end. My favourite fast food burger at the moment is from a place called Freddy's (not a massive player in the market, I don't believe...). Their basic double which is what I get is simply: two smash burger patties, american cheese, pickles, onion, mustard...and a normal (potato?) bun. They serve it with a drink and excellent thin fries for $9...which is a reasonable price for what you get. They have sauce on the side called fry sauce (the jalapeno version is excellent).
It's amazing that the simplicity won me over. It's just a good burger without being fancy/crazy/etc. I know they sell other burgers, but their basic double is just excellent every time I've been.
I’m not a fan of smash burgers, but to each their own. I like a nice thick patty that’s a little red in the middle.
Of the drive-thru chains Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is my favorite too but for about the same price I can go to Texas Roadhouse and get their lunch special (mine opens at 3pm M-F but 11am weekends). More meat and thick fat steakfries (skinny or fat I don't think there is such a thing as a bad french fry). I can sit down at a nicer table and get served instead of standing in a line of parents with screaming kids or in my car breathing the exhaust fumes of the car in front of me. Relaxing if I'm there when they open, before they get crowded.
In Germany, you can find really nice Laugen buns in supermarkets, and they are my go-to for smash burgers.
George is right on the money. I love these videos!
Knowing Josh and George and also being a bit of a burger aficionado myself, I called every part of this. The perfect burger is simple, pure and delightful. Overcomplicating and being extra doesn’t make a burger better.
It's been my go to burger for years. Though I tend to go for sliced onions vs the diced onions but otherwise this is it. I grew up having ketchup on the burger but learned to go with mustard only when I started making my own.
JOSH>>>LET THE MAN TALK BRO
Oh damn George actually got to talk during the short that’s awesome
lovely duo guys, hopefully you will appear together in more videos in future
the pretzel bun looks like the one u get for 50cents in germany at ur nearest ALDI
George was such an awesome guest, he perfectly matched your energy lmao
cooked patch on one side is pure genius. I've watched so many smashburger videos.. How have I never seen that before?...
I've gotten into the habit of skipping most of Josh's videos tbh (I used to watch them all). However, I'mma watch this again with my wife cause George Motz. Josh turning around and loving the simplistic classical nature of George's burger at the end was beautiful.
You bought him to make the perfect burger and you didn't even ask him before deciding on the best burger ingredients
He agreed to each ingredient like did you watch the video
I saw this while eating McDonald’s.
its really nice to see josh cook with his dad
Bro hyped it up so much to declare George's burger as the best one 😭
I hate what happened to your thumbnails
It got beastified
Same
Mr breast lookin ahh
Is probably what Mr beast has said about thumbnails, that thumbnails like this one generate more clicks and etc but same
What happened to the thumbnails?
My old man made burgers for a fishing trip when I was super young it was mustard, pickles, and onion. The burger was cold and been sitting around in an ice chest for hours. I don't care for mustard and onions typically, but to this day, 44 years on earth, that burger is in the top 3.
I have a similar memory of fishing with my dad and it was a baloney and egg sandwich on white bread with mayo. The nostalgia is crazy!
Watching this makes me want to make my own burger, so I paused, make a burger, eat it when while watching it
George comes on screen for the first time at 0:08 anf the first time he speaks is at 0:51 - thats 43 seconds from introducing him before he is allowed input. I know its your show, Josh, but maybe the script of the introduction or explanation of the concept could have been split up better.
He doesn't script his vids
@@TherealbeastgohanI can tell lol
Let’s critique Josh methodology lol:
1- You can’t test blend with smash burgers, then test thickness with that size. Maybe thick steaks are better with 65%, who knows.
2-American cheese meltiness is only because the emulsion of cheddar, water and sodium citrate. You can make any cheese just as melty as American cheese using sodium citrate, not just cheddar. You can also chose something else than water as the liquid, like beer. So you should choose cheese based on flavor, then adjust meltiness with more /less water in the sodium citrate emulsion.
3- cook method. You tested grilled, and flat top. You should try more funky methods. My favourite is smoking burgers to 130-ish with a bunch of beef fat in the smoking fire, then sear on a flattop.
4-Buns (yes, I know it’s the beginning of the video). As with cheese, you can adjust crust stiffness and bread softness by adjusting the fat content of the dough and some other factors like pectin.
5-sauce: Sauce should be added only to add what is missing from the other ingredients. By customizing your cheese and buns, you should get mostly there, but if you want a maple syrup dauve to take your burger elsewhere go for it. Sauce should not be necessary, but like, a way to take the burger in another direction.
Thank you. Honestly I would have never had a smash burger. Can’t wait to try it.
it's around half past 3 pm here, and i'm hungry again (or... already? dunno exactly if i wan another lunch or a early dinner)
thanks guys!
kind of disappointed in this video, i love George Motrz so much and this video just seemed like you tooting your own horn and not even listening to his input, just trying stuff having already decided what the burger was gonna be so what was even the point of him being there
Didn't he try the burger, not like it only to offer Josh his own? Josh then acknowledged the simple approach was better and didn't overcomplicate the flavor. I feel like you didn't retain anything that happened if you're saying that.
Did you even watch the video? He agreed with him at the end. Also you seem to have no concept of individual preferences and tastebuds. George and Josh are no more right than each other? They are saying what THEY like best.
Boo hoo
I’m kind of in agreement with you, he’s not really actually apart of the video as much as an addition. Yeah he agrees at the end but like, George says like 3 full sentences the entire video 😂
I think I would agree but they do try Georges version of the best burger at the end. George also explains his methodology for the best burger. The video wouldnt work if they both had the same best burger.
Joshua taking a page out of Andrew Schulz's book to not let the guest speak, Got annoying as soon as I noticed it
Watching Uncle Joshua have that realization was funny lmao
I agree with everything - with one exception: the addition of Hatch green chiles (or jalapenos in a pinch). I absolutely love green chiles on a burger. If I'm hung over, give me a runny egg as well.
Daddy Joshua finna look more delicious than that burger tho.
I wish you would go back to the videos showing how to cook a single dish. Not gimmicky videos debating one what bun to use or what sauce is best. Definitely not driving around taste testing different fries or burgers. I just skip to the end to see the result. Your old videos are the best. It has been months since I make a recipe from you page. Go back to what you do best.
Maybe you should do something with your life so you aren’t online rotting in your room telling another man how to run his business 💀
@@pojoshorts Or maybe you can fuck off and mind your own business. If he posts videos with comments on he'll get criticism. That's how it works.
So sayeth Leigh, the Nine thousand, one hundred and seventy fourth of the Leighs. The line who famously know everything about other peoples' business.
I don't think Leigh is trying to tell Josh how to do his Business, but the he enjoys the older content more.
And I agree with him. Everyone has their own opinions rigth?
@@liebenberggideon007 He literally says "Go back to what you do best".
