Alot of people are upset that Joshua didn't try the shake shack burger from the restaurant instead. However the "but better" series has always been about entertainment and the flex, and who better to flex on than one of the OG creators. You know for a fact Joshua put his best foot forward, Joshua ain't fighting mobs anymore he's fighting final bosses. Personally stoked for the next episode where Col. Sanders himself rises from the grave to challenge josh
i think it was honestly fair. it’s not like Mark used anything that Shake Shack doesn’t. quality control could vary when leaving it in the restaurant’s hands
He still should have gotten a burger at the shake shack just to compare . Of course the chef version will be better compared to what you will normally get 😂
This episode was good, but yea I gotta agree. He got the private jet version of the Shake Shack experience when the rest of us will only experience economy seating. If Josh isn't trying to beat a burger made by a minimum wage employee who's 20 minutes from the end of their shift, than it's not the pure But Better experience.

I used to work at Shake Shack. The amount of effort that goes behind every single burger is outstanding. Part of my job was to make sure that every burger looked “picture perfect” so yeah Shake Shack=quality
I don’t know if Josh has done this but I would really like to have an episode where he talks about how he became so good where he trained who mentored him how he close the path etc. and of course if he is ok showing us the first fish he mastered that would be awesome. Massive love and support from the UK my friend.
Speaking as someone living in Japan at the moment, the root beer is definitely one of the wins for me. Can't get it anywhere else here and it's not just Mug crap, it's really good.
honestly, i hope more folks take one out of shake shack's playbook and partner up with you for this show. the added level of banter and storytelling was so good!!!!
IMO the bun is the most overlooked aspect of many high-end burger places, or people who review burgers. The ratio of meat to bread, how soft the bun is relative to the meat, and how well it holds everything together will make or break a burger IMO. Potato buns are great, but being from CA the gold standard for me is the sponge dough buns from In-N-Out.
Honestly this dude goes out his way to talk shit on the food we eat saying his is better but we've never had it and sometimes his doesn't even look better tbh I'm like wtf is that some episodes he just annoyed me like I get it you can cook but shut up
This channel is the definition of no nonsense fun in the kitchen. No ads imparting my viewing experience, excellent pacing and shot composition. Plus great guests, recipes and food all in a fun packed 10min or less.
Josh has always had an advantage in the 'but better' series, He makes his food and tastes it soon after plating, compared to tasting the restaurant food, which are at a minimum 20 to 30 minutes old.
You're missing the point of the series. Josh is not competing with minimum-wage workers from fast food joints working to pay off their debts. It's ridiculous. The point is anyone can make a better, healthier and often cheaper (well there is another series for that) version of these meals. His recipes are what's important, his culinary skills will obviously be better. The fact that his home-made recipe could compete with the secret recipe of a multi-million dollar company like Shake-Shack is much more impressive.
@@randomuser5237 In the series, Joshua goes to a restuarant, orders food, gets it home, and tastes it. He is tasting food that was initially made hot and that turned cold by the time he brought it home. His preparations in the series are tasted soon after they are completely made, which is hot/warm. Hot or warm food always will be more flavorful and thereby have an advantage over cold food. What I'm saying is Josh should be tasting the food soon after he receives it, at the restuarant itself or probably in his car, when it is still warm. The competition is in flavor, which the restaurant bought food is at a disadvantage when it's tasted, due to it being cold. It's never about workers wages or Josh's culinary skills.
I wouldn’t call it taking down. It’s more in full support of what Joshua and so many other chefs have said all along: get the best ingredients you can afford, treat them with respect, and master the techniques needed to make them shine.
I thought I was the only one to notice this thankfully there are a few of us…..is this his kitchen???!!! lmao just a leg dry age chillin where the Peasants keep the microwave lmao 🤣
The next and most daring But Better will have to be against Eggslut. That would be just as legendary as this! But do you wanna know what else is legendary? B-roll.
I'm going to Vegas in 4 days and going back to eggslut is at the top of my list. Getting Alvin on this show to have a cook-off would be amazing. I'd love to see George Motz too.
Had my first shake shack burger last week. Have to say it is a damn fine burger! I spent about 4 hours in a small room with no windows doing terrible things to the environment shortly afterwards but I can't prove it was the burger. Even though that was the only thing I ate that day. Still, it was a very nice burger.
Mark is awesome. I’m an Angeleno, and, when I was younger, one of my favorite adventures searching for the best burger in LA. Super fun and never ending options!
I've only had Shake Shack in Japan, it was so good I went a second time. Definitely best fast food burger I've had. Some really excellent burgers in Melbourne that I wouldn't quite classify as fast food though.
I just ate but after this video I'm thinking of ordering a burger. 😮🍔 It probably won't be as high level as Joshua and Mark's, but it's still something 😃
It they smash it that thin its certainly not a cook issue. Is this the same place each time or generally anywhere. Some people just have overly sensitive stomachs. That said, at times I suspect the fry grease and cook tops. If same cook top is cooking chicken and beef on it. Possibly the cause there.
"We're gonna take this beautiful flour, put it in this beautiful bowl, add a splash of beautiful water, some beautiful white eggs, then grab a beautiful whisk and mix all of those beautiful ingredients together in a beautiful way. Beautiful"
Yeah like respectfully i dont think a random shake shack dude is the same at making burgers than a guy whose worked at fine dining, even if its the same ingredients lol
@@OneOfYourFrenchGirIs he's saying a random shake shack employee probably wouldn't make it to the same level as the person who made Shake Shack, so the burger would be worse because this hypothetical Joe shmo has no technique.
@@Normalize_ Yeah, they’re not referring to him. They’re saying a random guy, as in a random employee at a Shake Shack, will not make it as well as the guy in the video
Please bring Mark back and make a Vs. episode. No holding back. not a but better, but rather your best. Mark makes his best burger and Josh makes his best. and my the best burger win! Oh, i think i need to hit a shake shack to get their burger to see what it is really all about.
I still need a real But Better for Shake Shack. This isn't truly how the show works. The culinary director better make the best version, but he can't be the one you judge. You have to hit them randomly to make sure they are keeping up his standards.

This is what Josh has been building up for all these years. Happy to see he couldn't take down the GOAT of burgers.
Josh is the true, GOAT!
Goat or burgers? In n out is better
@@brandongavinet4651 in and out is kinda trash
@@brandongavinet4651 Why did you have to start this debate omfg
Spoilers!!!
So Shake Shack joins Jollibee in the rare camp of the ones Josh couldn't outright defeat.
Nope. You won’t get this same burger if you order it
You also won't get people that Josh pays judging it.
What about Krispy Kreme
@@michaelbradu5524 Yea I think Josh lost that one
@@michaelbradu5524 WE DON'T MENTION THE KRISPY KREME INCIDENT
OMG, this is legendary ladies and gentlemen the first ever tie i have seen in but better history
Shake shack truly is one of the bomb AF top of the list food joints out there. they never miss for me.
I’ve made Josh’s burger bun recipe before and “dense” is accurate.
How would you lighten them more? Is it that he punches out too much air? Or enriches too much? Underproofs? Baking is hard!!!!
@@NVNCVL probably too much flour
@@NVNCVL it's hard to beat commercial burger buns. They put so much sugar and dough conditioners in them.
I don’t know if Josh has done this but I would really like to have an episode where he talks about how he became so good where he trained who mentored him how he close the path etc. and of course if he is ok showing us the first fish he mastered that would be awesome.
Massive love and support from the UK my friend.
in a video he worked for 12 or was it 24 hours at the place he worked before being a youtuber.
Instant reaction to the intro: this is going to be tough! Shake Shack is really good. (Especially the fries. Oh, and the beer.)
Speaking as someone living in Japan at the moment, the root beer is definitely one of the wins for me. Can't get it anywhere else here and it's not just Mug crap, it's really good.
from someone who worked at shake shack the fries are honestly not that good they're frozen, but in my opinion they taste so much better extra crispy
Would LOVE to see you tackle the Singapore Chilli Crab!! absolutely delicious dish that the world should know about!!

Legit! Shake Shack deserves props for a singularly fabulous burger.
I agree with Mark’s assessment on the importance of ratios. A thinner bun highlights the flavor in the patties more.
