I like tomatoes on burgers, but I'll admit that it's unnecessary. If you're adding pickles and/or a bit of ketchup, you're already getting the acidity you need.
Seriously! Every American has their take on it - like every Italian has their pasta rules. It’s a national pride thing, in both cases. It’s a fun pastime discussion. It is a right of passage to campaign for your way.
Confession time. Today I recommended an Alison Roman recipe to a colleague. And I told her, my “FRIEND” has a recipe for tuna you would love 😂 It had already left my mouth when I realized I called a TH-cam stranger a friend lol. So cheers to you, friend 💕
this came at the perfect time for me. i’ve been quickly realizing (hot take) that krystal is my perfect burger and this incorporates all the elements that make it my fav. plus i have about a million potato buns leftover from a bbq this weekend. WINNER WINNER BURGER DINNER
Okay, no ketchup is fine, but I NEED Mayo on my burger. Mustard is okay too, but I must have Mayo too! The rest sounds yummy and worth trying! Thanks Alison!
I love iceberg lettuce. The middle crispy leaves are the best on a burger. Not floppy like the outer leaves and not as bitter as the inner leaves. But I'm a mayo, lettuce, tomato girl with kosher pickles on the side.
I'm in your corner start to finish on this topic, including all the variations and the Peroni. My only addition is to suggest Feltman's (yeah, Feltman's of Coney Island) mustard. French's is classic and perfectly good, but Feltman's is apple cider based and adds a whole new layer of mustardy goodness. Oh, and small All-Clad lids make really good, unbendable, smashers.
Use a flat griddle without high sides, so you don’t burn yourself and you can get a thinner smash. Don’t smash on the second side, it squeezes the juices out. Use a sturdy instrument that is top down strong to smash with, like a potato masher, you can cover it with tin foil to cover slates. Flame doesn’t have to be so high, just as long as pan is steadily hot to very hot. The longer pan is on flame the hotter it will be.
Will have to do the combo onion style next time. I sort of split the difference by putting raw onions on the underside of the burger on the flip. That doesn't get the other side as browned, but it hasn't bothered me. I actually ran out of American Cheese last burger and basic sharp cheddar does not work. On occasion, I like a little bit of heat just for fun, so I create a chunky relish with the pickles and jalapenos.
Idk if it’s the technique or onion but these burgers are amazing ti make tastes like any restaurant burger I’ve made it 2 times I’m going to forever make my burgers this way 4ever 💯💯‼️thanks fir the recipe
I'm on board, especially concerning Impossible Burger, love. Though I like mayo w/ the mustard and yes, I need a slice or 2 of tomato, salt/pepper on all raw condiments. Ketchup is for french fries, with mayo also.
I launched a food truck this spring and smash burgers are always on my menu. Locally sourced grass fed beef, Martins sesame seed potato roll (yes fuck their political crap, they are still the best), shredduce, dill pickles, Mayo, on the bottom salt and pepper on one side, flip American.
OK Alison, I see us gon' have some disagreements we have to work at, here. I believe mayo DOES belong on the burger, but ONLY on the top where it can dress the lettuce and tomato the way any civilized salad dressing oughta do. Dill pickle chips? oh HELLS yeah. Load 'em on. I'm TOTALLY on board with you putting mustard on the bottom bun half to season the meat 'cos mustard is a spice for seasoning meats. I don't got any quarrel with you putting on sliced raw yellow onion (though IMO red is fine, too). However, I do feel yer being too restrictive when it comes to cheese. Kraft American singles is just fine and I'll happily eat them, but I think New York sharp cheddar is also a viable choice.
Okay, so I hate American cheese. Calling it cheese is a s t r e t c h. But, I just found Sargento’s “creamery” cheddar slices. They melt like American but taste like cheddar. Everything I ever wanted in a burger cheese. Check it out, it’s magic.
Wait wait, no ketchup? Haha I’m from Chicagoland and yes mustard on dogs is the only way to go and I don’t eat ketchup on like anything else, but on a burger? Consider it ;). Wait, you’re not using real meat? Haha yeah you can bend it for the ketchup ;). Dan, marry this woman if you aren’t already attached.
Alison, your plants look awesome! (I’ve taken to putting iceberg and potato chips in my (mustard foreword + spicy) eggy salad sandwich . Very delish with more chips on the side. I’m with you on the American cheese, though a nice melty cheddar and some pickled pink onions on top is a good thing. (Then my coleslaw on a separate little plate ,, I’ll use the last of the bread to wipe up the slaw ‘juice’.. a delicious bite. :))
Love you Al, and pickles too, glad you didn't forget the pickles. I think I made a burger once on my life (have been living in Paris France 46 years). You might just get me to try that again. Iceburg in Paris? tough one that. bisou girl, bonne appetit! 'I'd gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today". Who said that?
I was beginning to despair that Alison might never return. She's particular about burgers, would she like a Gorgonzola Juicy Lucy? Alison is correct, cast iron skillet burgers are the best. The Boss is good, I prefer Metallica.
It occurs to me that the makers of MARTIN'S potato rolls -- which really are the best in the world -- might not want their incomparable product to come into contact with the unappetizing bilge heated up by this vulgarian.
I usually agree with her on everything. That's why this mess is so disappointing. We get it, you like sour and bitter things. You don't have to put them on the burger, on the side, and in the potato chips. I go with Louis's Lunch...the original.
I will try this but have to add a tomato...it ain’t a burger with the tomato, for me. And I will be using Dave's Killer bread buns-, just discovered them and they are top notch!
As long as the burger isn’t from a tube of pre-portioned frozen patties and doesn’t have the texture of a hockey puck, IDGAF. Thick medium rare backyard burger with juicy in season tomato, crispy smash burger with pickles and onion, they’re all good. I like pickles, mayo and stone ground mustard or dijon, not French’s, the wonder bread of the mustard world, but you do you!
Yum... I use a piece of parchment paper between the patty and the spatula. I can get my other hand in there to press if need be and pulls away clean and easily from the patty. I will smash with the onion next time. 👍
Everything, EVERYTHING I make from you is always incredible. 10/10 as always. I used the impossible burgers I made tonight were so, so good. Thank you for your sharing your cooking genius :)
So true about the cheddar cheese. It is the idea of it that appeals to people, but in practice it is a total fail every time. Want to not be able to taste any cheese on your burger? Use cheddar.
I’ll never forget when Alison was plugging moonburger on IG and I thought she lost the lettuce debate bc in her fried chicky video she goes for shreddy lettuce...and she hit me with the “no babe” 🥲 my only interaction with her, I love u my spicy queen
Been waiting for a Home Movies for a month! Did someone hold you at gunpoint to make this one? You didn't seem to be into this one at all and did it reluctantly
Your opinions are fascinating….and humorous! Love the potato buns, but I’d rather eat dirt than American cheese - has to be good quality sharp cheddar. And NO MUSTARD! Save it for hot dogs. I like ketchup on my burgers like most Americans. And lettuce (leaves, NOT shredded & a thick slice of salted tomato and mayo on that side, ketchup on the other. Bacon is good too. See, I can be just as opinionated as you! How about that?

How much mustard is too much mustard?
The limit does not exist 🍔
Not enough is a thing, too much is not
Never too much
there is no such thing as too much mustard. Period.
Never too much... Looking desperate to find some with the mustard shortage facing us...
This is so chaotic and I'm living for it, another Queen Roman masterclass on cooking
Alison! Why so much hate for a sliced, beautifully ripe tomato on a smash burger? It's perfection!
And Mayo!
I like tomatoes on burgers, but I'll admit that it's unnecessary. If you're adding pickles and/or a bit of ketchup, you're already getting the acidity you need.
This is the most chaotic Alison video to date- and I am HERE for it.
I was so worried you had stopped doing these! Thank you for coming back. x
The passion about what is and is not acceptable on a burger at the beginning had me LOL’ing. Iconic.
Seriously! Every American has their take on it - like every Italian has their pasta rules. It’s a national pride thing, in both cases. It’s a fun pastime discussion. It is a right of passage to campaign for your way.
Not gonna lie, a burger with gruyere mushrooms and truffle on a brioche bun sounds amazing 😋 👌
Confession time.
Today I recommended an Alison Roman recipe to a colleague. And I told her, my “FRIEND” has a recipe for tuna you would love 😂 It had already left my mouth when I realized I called a TH-cam stranger a friend lol. So cheers to you, friend 💕
WE'RE ALL YOUR FRIENDS
this came at the perfect time for me. i’ve been quickly realizing (hot take) that krystal is my perfect burger and this incorporates all the elements that make it my fav. plus i have about a million potato buns leftover from a bbq this weekend. WINNER WINNER BURGER DINNER
LOVE A REGIONAL FAV LIKE KRYSTAL (also lots of mustard)
Whenever I order a burger I always say, "With extra pickles - like, more than you would think."
Alison Roman, how we have all missed you!!!💖
"If you come at me with that cheddar, I👏don't 👏want 👏it" (crew losing it in the background)
I'm
I made these and WOW. You take simple ingredients and methods and put them together in such a fabulous way! 🤤🤤 love from Montana.
This video is so cleverly produced. You are a delight to watch and to listen to...plus the recipes are always spot on.
This channel deserves much more subscribers! Nice job 👍
Cheers from San Diego California
the chaos and sass in this video is unparalleled aka this might be one of my favorite videos after the nyt thanksgiving special
Okay, no ketchup is fine, but I NEED Mayo on my burger. Mustard is okay too, but I must have Mayo too! The rest sounds yummy and worth trying! Thanks Alison!
So happy you’re back and now I have a kitchen to try these recipes!! A lot happened since we last saw you!
I really missed this, thank Burger God Home Movies are back!

I second this! Way too many people trying build a blt on their burger, which is fine, but that’s not a burger.
Use a flat griddle without high sides, so you don’t burn yourself and you can get a thinner smash.
Don’t smash on the second side, it squeezes the juices out.

I love your fearless , let er' rip style. Like you, when I was a kid I didn't like candy and stuff like that either. I'm a savory type.
I'm on board, especially concerning Impossible Burger, love. Though I like mayo w/ the mustard and yes, I need a slice or 2 of tomato, salt/pepper on all raw condiments. Ketchup is for french fries, with mayo also.
Happy to have you back. Hope you enjoyed your break. 🌻

“Taking an already sliced pickle and slicing it further? Wow, that’s friendship”
Beyonce’s new track and now a new video from you!? Best Tuesday ever. Missed you babe. 😘
alison is giving hrh collection this episode 😂
Why tf are we grilling our leaves, YES MA'AM! Alison you ARE the voice of reason
Did Alison finally get a non-generic chef knife? Love it!
THE QUEEN IS BACK!!!!!!
Looks yum, I would definitely insert a few slices of tomatoes into mine!!!
I'm all in favor of the K-Mart lettuce (ice-berg) for this application. And for BLT's and for a steakhouse wedge salad. That's it though
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!!!! Welcome back. Sorry for sounding aggressive, just so happy.
She was supposed to have a CNN+ show before that got shut down.
This is literally exactly how I eat and prefer my burgers (minus iceberg- much prefer romaine)
Mustard
Pickles
Onions
Allll dayyyy
I agree, but I use proper mustard, not the American fluorescent yellow travesty -- as wonderful as Alison is, that is just SOOOOOO wrong.
Moon Burger is the BESSSTTTTTT!!!! Omg. I eat there way too much. It’s perfection.
SO HAPPY YOU’RE BACK!!!!! YAY!!!!

Remakes burgers because the layering was wrong. Queen. Welcome home.

4th of July weekend.... activated

i like whe she gets angry and rants hrh collection style
Oh how I missed home movies!!!! 😍🤩😍🤩
Movie has started, am a grab me some popcorn 🍿
When you want a little burger with your mustard.... 😏
Missed Home Movies so much 😭😭
She’s pushing all the juices and flavor out!
“Just because it’s summer, it doesn’t mean you need to grill everything.” As I sit here eating steak and pasta salad I made with grilled veggies. 😅
It occurs to me that the makers of MARTIN'S potato rolls -- which really are the best in the world -- might not want their incomparable product to come into contact with the unappetizing bilge heated up by this vulgarian.
To be fair, impossible meat isn't recommended for human consumption either. Your cat dodged a bullet. =)
I butter my buns and will die on that hill. (I loathe yellow mustard). And I use Grillo HOT kosher dill pickles.
Thumbs up for the butter take and thumbs down for the mustard take
I usually agree with her on everything. That's why this mess is so disappointing. We get it, you like sour and bitter things. You don't have to put them on the burger, on the side, and in the potato chips.
I go with Louis's Lunch...the original.
I will try this but have to add a tomato...it ain’t a burger with the tomato, for me. And I will be using Dave's Killer bread buns-, just discovered them and they are top notch!
A separate cast iron skillet should be used for vegetarian/vegan cooking. Bits of food/seasoning sticks forever to it.
Go girl
yay you're back!
Fresh Direct (one word or two?) doesn’t deliver to my zip but a great vid and will be buying a cast iron skillet next!
Can we just call this vlog ‘the burger rule rant’😂🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔
Sorry Alison love your videos and recipes so much
This is exactly my style of burger
As long as the burger isn’t from a tube of pre-portioned frozen patties and doesn’t have the texture of a hockey puck, IDGAF. Thick medium rare backyard burger with juicy in season tomato, crispy smash burger with pickles and onion, they’re all good. I like pickles, mayo and stone ground mustard or dijon, not French’s, the wonder bread of the mustard world, but you do you!
You are 100% correct on the mustard. I am very disappointed with Alison right now. Was she afraid Sean Hannity would come after her?
I love Cabbage
You should have a burger off with Matty Matheson and Guy Fietti
I really wants to make this
I love your channel! 💖😊
Shrettuce is my nemesis.
Yum... I use a piece of parchment paper between the patty and the spatula. I can get my other hand in there to press if need be and pulls away clean and easily from the patty. I will smash with the onion next time. 👍
Wow i love this 💓
Will Dan's IG ever be released to the public?
Thanks for the heads up on the potato rolls!!
The culinary gods have answered me.
Everything, EVERYTHING I make from you is always incredible. 10/10 as always.

Tastes good

I could skip the lettuce, but that looks good!
I'll be adding some HP sauce on my burger, please! Come at meeee
Yummy
Cool
Nice
Anoop looks so cute!
he’s the cutest!
Help, I live in France and we don’t have dill pickles here! Sub with cornichons?
I feel like Alison was extra nutty in this one
Dan & Alison, very beautiful!
Been waiting for a Home Movies for a month! Did someone hold you at gunpoint to make this one? You didn't seem to be into this one at all and did it reluctantly
I didn't enjoy that video at all either, it was very...stressful to watch to be honest.

Right; Kosher Dill only/
Where is your t-shirt from ???
SHE SAYS IT IN THE VIDEO
Foodie, love it
What's wrong with a pub style truffle burger with gruyere?
Have to say - im living upstate NY near Woodstock- i have not found a good burger yet!!!
Go to moon burger
