Kids are just weird on what they like, they would be more happy with the crappiest mcdonalds cheeseburger over a decent restaurants smash burger. Although i will admit i do crave the mcdonalds stuff every so often, something about that rehydrated onions + pickles they use on that somewhat over seasoned patty
That physical location is probably going to be as close to the "ideal" as any Beast Burger is likely to get. Most of the issues reported were from the plethora of ghost kitchens just making whatever with no real quality control. It's a lot harder to screw up that badly when the customers can just walk their trash burger back up to the register and demand a remake or a refund.
Adam Ragusea was the one I saw growing his own wheat. I remember him being surprised at how much sand got into the mix when he threshed it on his own patio!
The Mr. Beast Burger near me actually was great. The restaurant was a mom and pop place that had excellent food for years and then transitioned into a ghost kitchen when the pandemic hit. But they kept up that quality as a ghost kitchen.
Sadly I think the standalone probably has the best quality food compared to the ghost kitchens. They actually can be held accountable, unlike the others. Also I'm surprised that ones still open, when the lawsuit info dropped every one near me shut down immediately. Supposedly there's one left in my state if I were willing to drive about 40 miles to the middle of nowhere.
I'm sure multiple people have done the "growing wheat yourself" thing you mentioned, but my mind immediately went to Adam Ragusea's "Growing Bread" videos, where he did just that, and the result was not very good compared to typical industrially produced wheat
I had a Mr. Beast Burger pretty early on in the pandemic. At the time it was very reasonably priced (compared to everything else on DoorDash), and really, not a bad burger at all. I'm glad to hear that I haven't missed out at all by never ordering one since!
I had a similar experience early on, and made the mistake of trying two more times. It got progressively worse each time, not even resembling the first order, cold bland and wrong.
I have been loving on you and your videos for 2 years now. I really want you to look at guga foods camera work. YOU DO SO MUCH effort. I believe your growth is a little stuck due to everyone getting crazy cameras to shoot B rolls. I am rooting for you!
Last time i had a mr. beast burger the bun was super hard. Like it felt like biting through leather. I also saw how the burgers were made thanks to Milad, the Subway POV guy on tik tok, and was horrified to find out the unsanitary practices. Milad shows that you put raw beef balls on the griddle with gloved hands, then proceeds to touch multiple handles and ready to eat burger buns with the same gloves. This just sets into my mind that the training on this is bad and it might be like that everywhere, because not once did i see the gloves being changed or did i see a different set of gloves on his hands. Also no other employee thought to point out the contact contamination.
i ordered mr beast burgers once and they ran it out of a local restaurant, it was borderline inedible because of how insanely spicy they made it. we also got a chicken sandwich and it looked like 2 frozen chicken tender on bread. and everything was just so soggy. we never got it again
Andy George on How to Make Everything made a chicken burger completely from scratch, in his words: "growing my own vegetables, making my own salt from ocean water, milking a cow to make cheese, grinding my own flour from wheat, collecting my own honey, and killing a chicken myself". He's got the whole process broken down into 12 separate videos, and then one master video.
I love seeing you on location! The whole Mr. Beast thing baffles me: opening restaurants and selling products that use your name but otherwise have no input from you??? Sounds like a recipe for a lawsuit... as we see!
I’ve never even heard of Mr. Beast burgers, though my adult son probably has. It’s pretty pathetic when the Impossible Burger (not dissing Impossible because it’s a decent vegetarian substitute) and the chicken sandwich were the best thing at a burger place. Not sad that I’ve “missed out”. May it go away and not come back. As for Josh-ifying it, the only thing I haven’t done is grind my own meat. That would require a grinder that I don’t have. However, I’m lucky enough to have a butcher shop literally 3 blocks away, so good ground beef is pretty easy to come by.
I started making Oklahoma Onion Smashburgers a few weeks back and they are so trivially easy, yet so good, I just can't imagine buying a crap burger ever again. They're so simple yet so good.
The issues are 100% with the ghost kitchens. While the physical location is fine, the ghost kitchens have literally 0 quality control, and while they do have recipes and certain practices they are supposed to follow, they can (and do) send out basically anything they want. Because there is 0 quality control, a TON of the ghost kitchens ignore the recipes and techniques in favour of cheaper and easier ingredients in attempts to save as much money as posible.
I will never understand why people are so willing to overpay for something just because of the person's name/face on the product. Just shows how easily manipulated people are.
Reminds me been wanting to get some beyond ground beef to making vegetarian version of these. FYI if you are lazy like me cover a sandwich press in foil oil and press wala smash patty 😊.
Does anyone else struggle with getting a burger crust? Like I can get it on the first side but when I flip it, I the second side always ends up gray. Any tips?
It could be that your skillet becomes too cold and when you flip, it doesnt retain enough heat to caramellize the second side before overcooking it. Heat retention is one of the main reasons people use cast iron cookware for this. Its also possible that you didnt get the skillet hot enough in the first place, another reason for cast iron as it doesnt get damaged even from very high heat.
If you think about it, the entire concept of VDC is to find underworked kitchens & restaurants. But they are empty for a reason. Poor equipment, poor quality of food, maybe just lack of skill or patience or other things. So the result will turn out sub par anyways.
It’s weird about burgers and sandwiches. For Germany at least, the bun in that shape is the burger and the burger is just the patty. Similarly a hotdog bun is the hotdog, the hotdog itself is just a sausage.
It sad that David haven’t understood what the problem is. 1) He went (for verification) to a brick and mortar Mr. Beast. This already is the first fallacy! The problem with ghost kitchens are, that the food comes mostly out of unbranded kitchens, which often have a dozen (or up to few dozens) menus (of different brands). Additionally they are often even not made in restaurants but even in converted containers. 2) The food quality is again footed in the first point. It is not the point of few pennies for better quality. The problem is, that the restaurants don’t have minimum standards (as a chain) - and don’t need to use particular products.
There’s a billboard on my highway for some business that reads “we raised $13k with Mr Beast, and yet you’ve never heard of us” and I’m like… you think your target audience is 12?
you see i didn't even notice you did a "but better" because you had a good attitude about it.If Josh wasn't so cocky about it i might have kept watching his videos, that attitude oh his just rubs me the wrong way
To me his whole thing on this is just reminiscent of all the other "influencer" style restaurants. All just going off of their name, while not bringing much else new, unique, or even quality to the table. Idk what his prices are, but most of them are over priced and you're better off going elsewhere or making it your damn self.
For the price you expect great food, but looks like something I pay $5 at most for because you could make it for about that much. And come on those fries you got to be kidding me.
The thing is, most restaurants like that operate on about 15% profit after overhead, so on a 10 dollar burger they're making 1.50 profit, so adding 10 cents to the cost of a burger is nearly a 7% loss in profits which spread over the entirety of an operation is a very substantial amount of money. The people running this thing were probably never planning to become the next Yum Foods and be in it for the long haul so I can absolutely see why they wouldn't bother making them better
there are 2 ghost kitchen Mr Beast burgers near me. 1 is out of a Perkins and the other I can't figure out at all because the location address is a Pilates studio according to google. Its a strip mall though so...who knows? Either way, I wasn't impressed. I don't like 5 Guys either, so maybe its me that is the issue.
Idk how this is legal tbh in the sense that how is it called literally mr beast but he’s got no association to it? Idk very gimmicky to me! Gimmicky and strange! I don’t even follow the TH-camr and didn’t know of him before lol but now that I do I find it all weird.
Did anyone else feel like the pitching of the video as solutions for beast burger was cringe? Sorry, idk, something about the complaining that corporations aren't giving fair product for value feels... old? I'm not sure how to articulate it, but something in this video felt off to me, and it came up every time David seemed to be suggesting these ideas or criticizing beast burger. It just feels... almost delusional in modern day to think companies want anything but immediate and expo exponential returns. *To be clear, fun video, everything else is great, just something about that felt off to me.
I like how you are being a little more original. After cooking for so many years you should be getting much better. But also try to work out and get a little thinner. You don't want to be fat during your prime twink years.
David if you're reading this, yo ffff this dude, you've never looked better, your videos have never been better and this guy should go outside and see if the sky is still blue
Agree with you on wonder bread though, my god it’s awful, when I’d make a sandwich with it no matter how much meat cheese sauce pickles etc I put on the sand which it didn’t matter all I could taste was the awful taste of wonder bread, always ruined it without fail every time
Ok when that little kid asked if the burger was bussin bussin it brought me to tears

i live in vegas and ther eis a ghost kitchen in the Buca di Beppo and every time i've had it it's been very good.
When David leaves the house for the video to go somewhere and try a food, ya know it'll be a great one! My favorite format never disappoints 😊
I’m pretty sure the lawsuits are in reference to the ghost kitchens, not the physical locations, of which there’s only one.
I was gonna say the same. He has no control over the ghost kitchens but he does over the physical location
The one that was by me was ran out of a Buca Di Beppo lol
@@azfortuna9398 Same! It was not good. Very bland, imo. He's right to sue them. 🤷🏾♀️

I'm glad to see you posted today sir. But I'm extremely disappointed you didn't do some Friday the 13th related given your.... October love....

They use extra lean ground beef ! This is why the burgers tend to be “dry” and tasteless 😅
They are also dry because they are smash burgers. Such a terrible way to cook ground beef
@@wingracer1614i like big thick patties. i like my burgers blue rare

You can mill wheat in a mortar and pestle if you really wanted to but it’s pretty labor intensive
@@colbywoods158, touché. No, I don’t grow or mill my own wheat. I was referring to David’s version of Joh-ifying the meal.
loved the editing in this one!
I'm still confused how you don't have a million subs yet bc you definitely should
That little kid "is it bussin bussin" 😂 kinda cute also kinda scary that how a small human talks. 😂😂😂
I started making Oklahoma Onion Smashburgers a few weeks back and they are so trivially easy, yet so good, I just can't imagine buying a crap burger ever again. They're so simple yet so good.

Just 1 bussin
Being generous for the kid 😂
This is so great. Having simple recipes and also the more complex one is really nice :)
Omg the kid asking you “is it bussin bussin”
Idk if i wanna laugh or cringe 😭
Your burgers looked SO FREAKING TASTY omg!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍
You put "T" at the end of words that don't have a T, and I'm here for it. - Subscribed.
I will never understand why people are so willing to overpay for something just because of the person's name/face on the product. Just shows how easily manipulated people are.
I think it was Adam Ragusea that grew his own wheat.
Commenting for the algo. Nice new format!
Those packs of Philly cream cheese in your "spooky" decor send me, David! 😂
Reminds me been wanting to get some beyond ground beef to making vegetarian version of these. FYI if you are lazy like me cover a sandwich press in foil oil and press wala smash patty 😊.
I'm really not surprised! Thank you for telling us they don't worth the monney 😅
those literally look like the Costco brioche buns NGL
Can you test some of the most popular cinnamon roll recipes?
You upgraded all of the ingredients except the pickles! Their pickles looked better!
Does anyone else struggle with getting a burger crust? Like I can get it on the first side but when I flip it, I the second side always ends up gray. Any tips?

How to make everything was the channel that did all of the pieces to create a sandwich, great series, to be honest
The cream cheese in the back is sending me😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Shouldn't that be a Kris Style now?
Damn!! Your burgers looks so much better!!!
i recall there was a video of a guy making a chicken sandwich completely from scratch, it took him half a year?
Making your own pickles is actually really easy.
The Mr Beast pop up restaurant in my country got bad reviews. They all said it’s a meh food with high price.
Your home made burgers look delicious!!
