#burger #food #streetfood - บันเทิง
Would have loved to see the default, Costco Kirkland frozen burgers because those always are on sale and get like 3 or 4 full sections of the freezer dedicated to them
They are perfect for a simple go-to burger
I'd love to see gugas take on them, especially since I always seem to have some in my freezer
I get the 5 pounds of 88-12% ground beef and make burgers. I thought he was going to do the same but then I saw "frozen"
Kirkland blows bubbas out if the water. In reality the term “angus” beef is deceiving as it has nothing to do with taste or quality.
The Kirkland ones are good. Not great but good. Bubba's are a waste of money. Even though they say to do it well done...I usually risk it at medium 🤣
If I was in PR for that Wagyu brand, I would be giving Guga a call and offering to send him a box or two that was not as badly handled as the one he got. Something tells me that one was picked up by someone and was in thier cart for ever. Then it got put back in the freezer section. Something had to happen for that to go that bad.
Yeah, I agree. The Wagyu burgers looked like they were left in room temp and refrozen. Maybe a proper box of them would help do some justice. Although Guga and his group are too spoiled for the fresh burgers to really accept them anyway.
Not saying they started out great, will take your word for it, but the pack Guga took home had definitely been defrosted and refrozen. The color, freezer burn, ice crystals and having to pry them apart and pick the wax paper off all indicate being refrozen. Pig customers take them from the freezer and decide they don't want them in the potato chip aisle, throw them on the shelf all of the time. Employees find them and put the merch back in the freezer, hopefully before they've thawed.
None of the patties are in cryocac bags. They are all susceptible to freeze burn. The longer they sit in the freezer, the worse they get.
Just being Wagyu does not make it special. Wagyu being pricey, when they make ground beef, they would make it out of the most undesirable remnants. The winner was ground from whole muscle Angus chuck.
@@thatwasonceit’s probably from a cross-breed American waygu cow, that’s why they get to put the name on it.
Except it was two boxes. Each box only had 3 burgers and he made 6. So it would have to be a problem with both boxes.
I would love to see an expanded version of this. Maybe even a tournament style showdown of a bunch of different options.
Yes!!
Honestly this would make a lot of sense, since there are a multitude of frozen burger types people have access to. I am a fan of having at least a small reserve of frozen burgers because sometimes it's 3am and I want a burger, and everything is closed. If most of these frozen burgers are like a D or an F, but one or two of them are like a B-, sometimes that is good enough. I would like to know which ones those are. I been actually buying the same ones they used in this video that were in the middle tier, the walmart ones. If there are bettter that I have access to though I would get those instead.
Great idea!!!!!!
Would love to see more reviews of general consumer-grade food products! We have to know whats the best, since there are plenty of us that don't have the time or money to spend fiddling with unknown brands.
As someone who eats frozen burgers on the regular as they are super easy to acquire and prepare I can confirm that Bubba burgers pretty much taste the best out of the ones that I've tried (and I've tried A LOT) and that pretty much every burger that's labeled as "wagyu" is a scam where they are overpriced and at best taste just like a regular burger. Honestly, the best bang-for-your-buck burgers that I've found which Guga scoffed at were the regular Walmart-brand 80/20 burgers. I find that they cook up quite nicely and easily AND are very affordable for a pack of 12 burgers.
i just ate 6 of those today lol. Im on the carnivore diet so I try to budget looking for cheaper options. as long as its 100% beef without fillers.
try shopping at GFS?@@dean4125
How much are those "Waygu" burgers. If they're like anything under $50 they can't be real lol.
Noo Walmart brand the ones that come in the big box are good
Bubba's sweet onion burger is my favorite
The "wagyu" burger was probably defrosted, the fat moved from inside of the burger to the edges of the burger and maybe even went off... so yeah... that's probably why it feels off.
Brooklyn Burger is sourced in New Jersey, sat in NYC for a few months, was put on a truck to Miami that made multiple stops, and thawed. It refroze on the shelf.
Bubba Burger is based in Houston, TX, and knows about and cares about beef products and is considered by most to be the best frozen burger by far.
Sam's is local to FL.
Guga basically made this video to s**t all over Publix.
@@booshmcfadden7638 I wonder what would have happened if he had chosen the first one he picked up. He’s probably wishing he did.
@@booshmcfadden7638 It's fascinating when you learn about the logistics of how all the food shipping works, it's why I'm often quite careful these days about the sorts of food that I pick and I often ask myself "How long has that been sitting in a warehouse somewhere?". If supermarkets and grocers generally were smart they could do different prices and pay based on levels of freshness but these days they just ship whatever crap that's been sitting about for a month, barely safe to eat I would argue.
@lethn2929 I went to culinary school and have passed ServSafe several times. There is A LOT people don't think about when shopping or dining out. It's smart to look into things like you do.
Not to mention the usda only requires it be 60% wagyu to be called wagyu. I was at a pure bred wagyu ranch last tuesday and got the low down on wagyu.
Would love if you redid this with Costco. They have like 3 different types of their own brand.
It's nice to see ya cook something i can buy at my neighborhood grocery store Guga! 😄 my go to for frozen burgers are the Walmart ones in this video and the Bubba burgers, but I try to get fresh patties when I can for day of cooking or freeze em from fresh for a day or so later 🤓
When most people say they're going to three different store they mean they're getting the store brand not Guga he's getting the brand you can get from any individual store
yeah it was kinda pointless lol
And Costco was not one of them even though it is in the thumbnail.
@@GoneFishNnow🤯
I love this format of video! Feel free to make more like this Guga! Much love from NY ❤
This New Yorker can cosign that.
When he hits the book, that little edit made my day😂 8:45
Love your videos!
2:10 Honestly, this can happen with any frozen burger/product, depending on your freezer. The best way I've found to split them is to run it under the faucet for a few seconds, which should melt some of the ice without completely defrosting it. Also, do not use a knife like that, as you risk cutting yourself and breaking the knife.
2:43 Those 15% fat ones are what I normally get. They end up a bit smaller, but are quite good for the price.
On the one from the Publix. It looked like that because it partially thawed and got refrozen. Which is also why it was so hard to take apart.
Costcos frozen Angus burgers are pretty darn good also.
Costco is a go to, but you have to buy in bulk. I go there for a hotdog sometimes.
Their grass fed burgers are amazing too
Yup, they’re better than bubba burgers on top of that.
He probably should have gone to Costco to get their store brand frozen burgers while getting the Bubba burgers from Publix so he’d have avoided disappointment from the frozen Wagyu. Then again, prioritizing the Wagyu would have been inevitable for him no matter what. 😆
@@jaybling6687 the thing is, Costco also has a Kirkland signature Wagyu offering too. He should just do an entirely separate Costco frozen burger review. They have like 4-5 different kinds.
Kirkland 15ct grass fed patties is my go to. For some reason they just taste better than any other store bought patties I've tried. Same goes for Kirkland frozen pizza and a lot of other Costco brand stuff.
I wish you actually tried the Costco Burgers. My brother just bought a bunch of the 1/3 pound Angus burgers and they are spectacular. Also, I buy frozen burgers a lot and I don't cook them from frozen, they are sure to dry out, and char before they sear. I just keep four or so in the fridge before I put the rest in the freezer, or thaw them on the counter. They cook up pretty much like fresh. All that meat arrives at the butcher or supermarket at super low temperature anyway, all our meet is borderline frozen, unless you know the farmer personally.
The Ground Chuck premade non-frozen burgers from Wally World are good. Also just had my first Bubba Burger about 2 weeks ago. I was impressed on the quality and moisture.
did u know there was a store chain that i saw in co about 30 years ago that was called wally world and yes wal mart was still called that back then also. it was like a discount wal mart almost from what i remmeber and tehy sold a lot of generic type items
You mean great value patties? Those are straight garbage
Try the fresh angus 1/3lb patties. They kill all other burger patties sold at WM. It's the only ones we buy anymore. We just freeze them if we aren't going to eat all of them within 2-3 days (and then thaw to cook).
both the costco frozen angus burgers, and the walmart 75/25 orange label burger that you almost took are my favorites. I usually default to the walmart one though. just a nice quick burger, always tastes good
I'm glad you mentioned those Walmart burgers- I totally agree that there is something special about the 75/25. Yeah, they cook down to much smaller patties, but for the price there is nothing better than those.
@@mcdingus5081 I can't believe you guys eat that garbage, Blows my mind you're actually having a discussion about Walmart beef 75/25???? 75% what? Old Broken Down Dairy Cow? Old Broke Down 2300lb Bull? if you think for a moment these stores above mentioned or any of the box stores use USDA Prime 12-1600lb non GMO grain finished steers you are 100/100% HIGH !!! oh and that " Cirtified Angus Beef " only needs to be 25% actual Angus, SURPRISE PEOPLE!!!! the other 75% is secret so don't tell anyone and this guy here sure won't clue you in. Find a real butcher shop and do yourselves a real favor. I won't even get into the " Wagyu " standards here, It's a joke also.
Yeah.... I got to admit the 75/25 Walmart burger are very good. Bought a box for a company cookout, everyone loved them, specially when doubling them with cheese 😂
Ten thousand thumbs up GUGA! Thanks for your hard work!
I used to live down by where you're at, and it always trips me out seeing the old Publix I used to go to LOL. Much Love Guga
For cookout/parties I will usually buy a stack of frozen Costco grass fed burgers. They're pretty good and I just throw a little salt and pepper in them and they're usually a hit. Also, if you can find land o lakes sharp American cheese, that helps them out a lot too
I don't buy the Land 'O Lakes any more after what they did to the maiden.
Agree, no Land O lakes products in my house. Sargento aged white cheddar is really good.
"so you dont have to" is a phrase he can put on 90% of his experiments :D
I’ve been watching for a couple years and I have to say I really admire Guga, he always makes me smile.
I just received a spiral copy of your book and it's excellent! I enjoy you quotes which makes the book more personal. You cover all things Bbq, from grill choices to the recipes. Keep up the good work! Your neighbor to the North(954)
🤘
Just picking up some fresh 80/20 and forming your own patties is the best way to go for taste/efficiency. Barely takes longer than using frozen burgers
i buy the premade walmart fresh patties, split them in half and turn them into balls to make smash burgers with my smasher and scraper and gives perfect sized smash burgers every time
@@xxmemekipxxlastname4846 how do you do that witthout defrosting first (which you're not supposed to do)?
@@pietheijn-vo1gt because theyre fresh and not frozen
@@xxmemekipxxlastname4846 I read frozen, oops. I still don't understand how that's any different from ground beef though
@@pietheijn-vo1gtit’s not, he’s just spending a little extra on them for them to form a party and maybe season it a certain way but same thing like buying ground beef and doing it yourself
The "wagyu" was definitely freezer burnt - and/or an expired date. Time to do more burger meat eats of other store products ...
check out the freezer it was in at that store. Completely open topped, so everything on top defrosts and then refreezes over and over every day they open.
Noi way i'd buy frozen food from that sort of freezer.
its bad enough when stores have refrigerated food on those cooled open shelves. i always try to get stuff from the back where you know its been kept cold. Stuff at the front just wont last as long as the date says it should.
One christmas my mom got a turkey from the same place i got one the year before. I showed up the day the turkeys were delivered, got one the moment it came off the freezer truck. Where as she got one several days after they were delivered and picked up one of the front of the shelves. I don't have to tell you, that thing was rotten by christmas eve when i came to butcher it for her and she had to run around trying to find another turkey on christmas eve.
It's a NYC company called First Avenue Foods. It's a crappy company with a crappy product and Publix has a much better selection. Publix is a cut above; employees caught putting out expired food are terminated on the spot. If QA shows up and the manager is doing it, they are fired. Guga just picked a garbage product.
That whole pack was sus.
Thawed then refrozen for sure
@@ge2719 Taking it from the back wont help you.
I have seen supermarkets just put a stack of refrigerated foods in the middle of an isle (outside the fridge) and keep it there for an hour before they put it into the fridge.
And this is happening a lot.
my favorite burger so far was one I made with packaged 80/20 ground beef that looked more like red spaghetti. It was something I have to pack tightly or else it would fall apart BUT when it cooked it was marvelous. It would flare up, seer, and had a delicious flavor and crust. The meat was so juicy and smelled smoky despite being pan fried and only having salt and pepper and a tiny bit of soy sauce. By far better quality than any pre-made burgers i’ve ever had.
That's what I use every time. You can get juicier if you do 70/30, but not everywhere sells it, and I find the 80/20 to be a good compromise healthwise. I also try my best not to pack it together too tightly cause it ends up being more tender to me if I can leave it as loose as possible. I just roll it up into a ball and smash it down for smash burgers.
The best frozen burger is one you make yourself and it can still be a time saver.
I have a great method I use for freezing patty's in bulk, you use clean film~
First roll out a square a bit bigger than the patty size you want, drop a ball of meat into the middle and cover over again with film. Cut the edge and then use a cutting board to press it flat, fold in the edges of the clean film and BAM!! you have a nice little freezable package that you can stack and they never stick or get freezer burn easily (because the meat is pressed so close to the plastic).
The only burgers I’ve ever made were bubba burgers, and tears are running down my eyes, I’m so proud that it won.
Edit: y’all are saying I spoiled it, I’m just commenting because I like bubba burgers. You just need to learn to stop looking at comments.
bubba burgers are underrated for sure
the walmart brand he bought but the bacon cheddar ones are my go-to frozen pattie, theyre delicious. ive never seen bubba burgers at my local walmart unfortunately.
@@kamelslife2844 i get bubbas at safeway/raleys so maybe find a grocery store like that in your area
i shouldn't had seen the comments before watching the video brah, i got spoiled 🤡
Since childhood I have known that the only acceptable frozen burger is the bubba burger
Leo cracks me up with the "Vegan Wagyu Burger" response LOL
I used to cook a lot of frozen burgers (but with fresh brioche buns, bacon and other proper ingredients). They can be surprisingly awesome!
Guga, the wagyu burger box was def thawed and refrozen multiple times. Always try to get the boxes near the bottom of the frozen display. The box you chose looks like it was above that displays load limit
Costco Kirkland Grass Feed Beef Patties- there may be better, but the cost/convenience of always available at Costco with really good flavor and fat/super juicy when cooked right!
I agree, if you cook them the right way they taste just as good as a fresh burger
I actually quite like turkey burgers.
Those bubba burgers look like burger recipes I’ve seen for White Castle burger Pattie’s. Always have punctures.
I've tried the Bubba and the Bradshaw brand you put back, and preferred the Bradshaw ones.
Would have loved if you also reviewed Costco's Kirkland burger patties and how it compares to the others you tested.
Try the """wagyu""" burger patties in the fresh meat section of Walmart - obviously they certainly aren't real wagyu or even close to it, but they're a solid notch above the frozen burgers and Walmarts standard hamburger/fresh packaged burger patties. When I first saw them I laughed because "wagyu", but they legit sold me after I finally decided to try them on a whim lol.
I've had those, and they're pretty good. I think they're an Australian Wagyu blend which is why they are affordable. It's the A5 Japanese Wagyu that's crazy expensive. I'd love to try it someday. Maybe after I win the lottery.😂
Uncle Guga certainly has tricks up his sleeve. He can upgrade any burger if he wants to.
Amen!
Huh, I've been to your local Publix when I was in Miami. Kind of brings back fun memories of that holiday (I'm from Europe). Knew you were located in Miami, didn't think it was that closeby where I was staying.
Schweid & Sons is sold at Publix and it’s processed at the same factory that Five Guys uses for their burger patties. It’s the same exact meat
Nice to be able to get frozen plain classic hamburger patties like that.
In Greece you get those intricate patties with egg, crumbs, onion, parsley, etc.... but some times simpler is better, I just want meat flavor :D
As for the wagyu ones... any time I've had a wagyu burger in Australian restaurants it tasted like regular burger.
I think wagyu only works with steak and skewer.
The Target store brand steakhouse burgers are quite good. I actually mistook a broken piece for a very tender off shoot piece of steak when grilling both. Very beefy and tender
Please make a playlist for all of your burger videos 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"The biggest problem with these wholesales is you always end up buying something you dont need"
Yeah, yeah i can relate very much there Guga
Dang, my frozen burgers have never looked that good.
Guga... If you are serious about frozen burgers you MUST have the real Costco ones, kirkland brand, and not just click bait with it.
Yeah, kind of annoying when you click on a video only because the thumbnail featured a product you wanted to hear more about but wasn’t even in the video.
Publix, the number 1 thing I miss about Florida. Great Vid as usual thank you Guga.
Lol why would you say you tried ALL of them if you tried just one kind from just 3 shops?
I mean, it's impossible to try literally all of them but you didn't even get a huge variety
Why? Because it makes people click and watch it. Welcome to the internet.
Definitely needs a part 2
He went with the usual choices from those three stores. It's a good option set.
not only that but in the thumbnail he shows the Costco logo but buys the burgers from BJ's
@GoodLuckThe Guga clickbaits alot. There was one video where he outright lied in the title about interviewing Joe Rogan. Then shortly after he changed the title after the backlash. Honestly his channel was better 4 years ago. Less obnoxious editing, no fake reactions, no forced enthusiasm. Just a chill guy educating about food with his family.
A pro-tip for getting the stubborn paper off of frozen things: Run them under hot water for a second. Just a quick dip/splash. Obviously, you can't do that for filming reasons. But at home, this has never let me down.
I think that the lesson we all need to take away is: The most popular selling burgers are probably better than ones that SIT AROUND getting freezer dried beef texture.
Cold water works better.
Also a pro tip: don't wet your meat. Moreover if it's minced meat.
Moisture is the enemy of a good crust. If you don't trust me, at least trust guga: remember how he always meticulously patting his sous vide meats dry.
With minced meat, those water are going in them crevices forever.
The pro-est tip here is to let em sit in your fridge or counter before handling frozen foods.
a few seconds in the microwave works well, less than 10 will do it. or just leave it, you probably eat worse and never know it
Would love to see a follow up, have you take the Bubba burger and put it up against one of your burgers both fresh and frozen (make a couple patties and toss them in the freezer for a couple days then cook). And see how they fare, we all know a fresh burger is best but maybe it could surprise us.
Dude. Your freckles are awesome!!!❤❤❤
Personally, I prefer pre-packaged fresh ground beef. It only takes a few seconds to shape the patties, and I can make them in whatever size fits my hunger level. In times past, I, too, have had the misfortune of dealing with VERY stuck-together frozen pre-shaped patties.
I used to make burgers myself in college with frozen patties and I cut my thumb pretty bad one time from using a knife to pry them apart. I'm looking at the scar I got from it.
When you grind your own meat, you know what exactly it is and does not need to be cooked to well done.
Makes a HUGE difference in texture and the flavor can not be beat. I haven't used store ground beef since I acquired the grinder attachment for the KitchenAid mixer
Ground beef is MUCH cheaper than pre-made patties. The disadvantage is that the burgers always fall apart.
@@sexygeek8996 They’re easiest to handle as meatballs turned smashburgers. Also used a burger press recently to form self-shaped patties out of them that held together well. Compressing the beef fairly tightly keeps it from falling apart.
This man does things so we don't have to 😂
I do agree for the most part, but with a slight change. I think he does things so we can do it better!
The way Guga even makes frozen burgers look fresh and delicious 🤤
I personally feel the burgers from Walmart's deli freezer section, with the sandwiches and salads, are some of the best frozen burgers I've ever tried. Always keep a look out for the yellow stickers on the things.
The best burgers I ever had was from a Cafe in New Cross in 1987.
The butcher made them and I have never come across anything that ever tasted near like them since.
It is even hard to explain the flavour, but it is not like any frozen or restaurant burgers, not anywhere near.
If you bought them from a frozen aisle in the supermarket you would say they looked well economy.
I would pay £25 just to have that taste experience again.
Some people just have that magic you know, reminds me of a restaurant I ate where I ate the fish that is prepared there. I was so amazed with the taste to the point I knew that next time, I will order that again.
The next time I came, I reordered the same fish but the taste isn't the same anymore. I asked the owner and he said that the chef that had cooked for me stopped working there.
Don't be sad because it's over, be happy it has happened is definitely a motto to live by
Was human meat i know the place
Guga,
You should do a series where you turn low quality food to gourmet.
That would be interesting.
No
@@H1DD3NxN1NJA Um, okay? Don’t watch it then
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Even when smoking briskets, the quality of meat you start with makes a huge difference in the final product. I like the Costco Prime brisket for the best trade-off between cost and quality.
I love this channel, also i never miss new video
Hey Guga I've loved your channel since I've subbed back when you were at 1 million but one thing I've never seen you cood that I'd love to see your take on is catfish. It's one of my favorite fish to eat and I'd live to see you take a crack at it whether it's sous vide or grilled or whatever crazy thing you cab think of
Something to consider, Walmart sells their version of Wagyu ground beef. I've had it, it's not bad, it's a little more gamey than their regular ground beef. But, it'd be interesting to see what you could do with it if possible.
I love it, I buy the 3x 1/3lb burger patty packs. They may not be real wagyu, but they are a nice little upgrade over their standard ground beef/fresh packaged patties.
BTW, the """wagyu""" steaks? Definitely not worth it from my experience, I pretty much just buy Walmart's petite fillets(we actually have a Walmart over here the gets pretty decent quality meat - only that one though lol, I don't get it).
It’s hard to beat an incredible burger. Juicy, beefy, and crisp. Fantastic! Great video today, Guga.
I've had them all, meat district, all Kirkland varieties, Holten Walmart, Bubba, etc. To me, by far the best frozen burger is the half pounder angus 80/20 burgers at restaurant depot. It's wholesale for business owners, but it's the best tasting burger for sure. I've been cooking frozen patties for literally 25 years.
That brand Walmart burger you can get with onion mixture so good I'm hooked
Bubba actually has a frozen wagyu burger as well. They come in a grey and red box, are pricey and hard to find but are much better than even the angus burgers. I agree I like to make my own but those grey and red box are the holy grail of bubba burgers if you can find them.
HEB has the best frozen burgers. But yall don't have HEB.
Facts.. HEB has the best everything TBH
Butt's for the win
Yep
Damn how I know you’re a real one
**cries remembering living in texas**
when you get patties stuck like that try twisting them like a jar lid, comes apart in the hands sometimes
Great video!
I make fresh burgers myself, but I am also freezing some left overs. They also come out great every time I make them.
Any of the Kroger Private Select Burgers are my favorite frozen burgers! I do prefer fresh but when you are the only person cooking after a ten hour shift the frozen burger going into my DREO with the Ore-Ida Golden Thick Cut Steak French Fries just leave it on default time and temp for air fry is all you need! Applewood Smoked Bacon & Cheddar Angus Beef Patties is my favorite.
I knew from the beginning that Bubba was going to win. First time I had one was in college, 20 years ago. Bubba burgers are basically the go-to frozen burger on the market, been using them since I discovered Bubba living in Chicago. They are consistently great patties and I'm not surprised at all a Bubba burger won!
I just freeze a bunch vaccum sealed(I season the ground meat beforehand so it's flavoured all the way through) then I grind meat, in a hurry defrost in some water, even warm water if it's only for for up to 30 minutes or so. sous vide is also great for medium rare but if you trust your meat it's not necessary, you can also sous vide a large fresh batch, chill in Ice water, than freeze, so you only need to sear it and it's ready to eat
We always buy the sams choice burgers from walmart or we go to sams club and buy a large "sleeve" of frozen burgers and they are great as well.
The Wagu burger based on the color appears to be pre cooked. I remember when I worked for Jack in the Box and the sirloin burger was brand new that burger was also pre cooked and had the same color.
I haven't tried the ones in the video, but the one I always go back to is "Our Finest Frozen Sirloin Beef Burgers" from walmart canada. If you cook them just right, they become very juicy.
Walmart's sam's choice angus burgers are my go to as well. I particularly like the seasoned angus and the vidalia onions angus. If i want to splurge, i get the walmart's market fresh waguy burgers from the frozen section. Same brand as the wagyu ribeye steaks and wagyu NY steaks that walmart carries.
Those sam's choice ones are my favorite so far as well! Vidalia onion or bacon & cheddar are always good
I went to spend a summer with my grandma when I was young and we went to Walmart I made her get the bubba burgers and swore they were so good even though I never ate them lol. Till this day she reminds me about them. I might go get some soon lol. ❤️
Might as well do a Costco only frozen burger comparison. They sell like 4-5 different varieties.
One little hack that I do to get the convenience of a frozen burger but still have something that is more fresh is I buy walmarts fresh burgers then freeze them myself then when I want to make them I thaw them out before cooking them
The sound and blush they added to the book when Guga smacked it was so unexpected it cracked me up 😂
In Walmart's meat department, they sell "WAGYU" burger patties. They come in 3-pks. They're really good, although I have to wonder if the percentage of Wagyu is little more than a gesture. Like the burger was basically SHOWN the facility, therefore it qualifies as a Wagyu. But they were good.
When the music started, I got the urge to go buy lumber.
i dont know why but every shot of guga walking away from the camera make me smile
0:47 the “hell no” 😂
Been eating bubba’s off and on for years and I’m glad to see it is the best of the frozen variety. They really are pretty tasty, they’re just expensive and you might as well just make your own
Guga!!!! I finally bought your book at coles book store all the way up in prince George B.C 🇨🇦 woooooo
Thanks for doing this, I never do frozen burgers!
That is smart using a sheet pan to cover the burgers to melt the cheese I'm definitely stilling that idea. Also great idea on the video very cool experiment
I already got my book :))))) so good!
The Kirkland brand chuck burgers from Costco are awesome!
Walmart has "fresh" "wagyu" patties. They are really good overall.
I really enjoy the Angus patties from Costco's Kirkland brand. I believe they'd be a total winner in this comparison.
No surprise that Bubba delivered! Bubba was always the “goto” when I was in the Military… and I expect it still is!
I missed the burger video song Leo usually does...I had to do it myself mid video lol🤣
The burgers that couldn't be separated made me wonder if they had partially defrosted at some time.
My favorite are Sam's Choice Angus Bacon & Aged Cheddar Beef Patties,
Never had bubba burgers I'll try them out next time I go to the store.
I'm impressed walmart had a good Angus burger, but just because somethings are not as they seem, just because a label says something doesn't mean it's true, always research and investigate by questioning everything to find truthful facts!
don't know if they are the same burgers or not, but I love the Member's Mark Sirloin burgers from Sam's Club. They cook up great on the grill and I love to eat one right off the grill. No condiments. No resting. Just a toasted bun. Juices running down my face. I'm doing the forward gangsta lean trying to keep the juices off of my shirt. Absolutely delicious!!!
im an old burger guy from way back, and in my old age ive been using the sams club and the bubba burgers for the last few years, problem is for this entire years of 2023 they have been pure crap, the dogs in my neighborhood, and the opossum, have had quite a few meals. for some reason they just don't taste the same as they used to, in fact i just took the last 2 pattys out of the freezer and gave them to my country friend to feed to his critters. i guess ill have to go back to making my own again, at 81 its getting a little harder to prepare meals and clean up the kitchen but so far i'm keeping up. thanks for the videos, oh and ive never tried the wagyu. and now the complaint, its 10:30 at night and you made me hungry enough to finish off the spaghetti i made last night, thanks a lot.
Can you do an experiment to cook every cut like brisket. Eg for NY strip you would cook the entire beef loin. For picanha you would cook the entire top sirloin cap.
There's a sandwich shop that i always get a Cajun panini for lunch and these construction workers would always get burgers there but theyd be coming out the freezer not freshly made. SO i asked those good even though they are frozen she said these dudes always got em so must be so i tried and i was very impressed that i added it to my rotation when i go there for food.
An idea based off this would be to find the best frozen ribs or even take the burgers one step further and try to find the best store brand frozen burgers
