I love how the whole point of the scene was that it was just a simple burger but Andrew just Couldn’t hold back making something fancy
In his defence he made the simple one first, and he did do a joke at the end about how it was super unnecessary to make a fancy burger.
I don't think the point of what Andrew did was to be fancy, it was just to replicate what the burger was probably actually like given that it would be super weird to have potato buns and American cheese at a fine dining restaurant on an island.
what part of it was fancy tho? they're all regular ingredients all he did was put more technique into it but its potatoes vs potatoes bun vs bun and the beef stayed the same
They would have killed Babish in this movie, he's one of the people who gets capped 100%
@@Konarcoffee Facts
Something tells me he didn’t want to recreate “The Mess” or “The S’mores.”
@Don't Read My Profile Picture it’s funny how desperate you sound
The Mess is my favourite meal to make
he can makes the smores, but only once
@@tdotgang538 I make The Mess daily, I wouldn't be able to do it without my lovely "volunteers" though...
Amazing how a simple creation like the s’more can pack such a flavor explosion.
2:08 To be fair though, when Margot asked Slowik what his kitchen has, Slowik responded "Everything", so TECHNICALLY he most likely would have some ground beef, American cheese and burger buns lying around somewhere.
American Cheese, sure, but not Kraft Singles. Kraft singles are not American Cheese, they are processed cheese food product.
American Cheese is actually a cheese made from a blend of cheeses.
@@Null_Experis Bro, Kraft invented american cheese. You couldn't be any more wrong
I love the idea of taking that line to logical extremes, like does he have Dodo meat in his kitchen? Human meat? Kangaroo’s testicles?
@@Null_Experis you would've died in the movie.
@@deeznoots6241 I mean... probably? He seems the type.
I love that the mixer just slowly migrates across the counter as it's beating the patato dough
*Aggressively Migrates* (FIFY) 😂
Your perseverance to finish the crinkle cut fries with the wonky knife deserves applause. 👏🏼
Though something tells me that crinkle cutter is supposed to be used on at least blanched potatoes :D
My dyslexia got me I thought you said it deserves apple sauce.
@@sethvickery5861 he deserves applesauce
I’d like to think that if she chose julienne, she would probably be dead
No. He deserves a singular clap, like in the movie.
You gotta make Tyler’s meal. His technique was flawless.
Babish would need a staff of snarky overworked sous-chefs for proper preparation...
impossible. the cutting technique Tyler used is something we have all been woefully ignorant of….
Does he need a pacojet?
@@vit968 underrated comment
The presentation was mind-blowing.
As an Australian it is hard to believe $9.99 is overpriced
I was going to say the same, in Canada that would be like $19, you would be lucky to get those fries for 9.99
@@Rusticity_ I thought Canada was similar, sort of like with UK, or do you just have less buying power?
price generally varies where you are in america ( suuuper far north, in the northern parts of AK, milk can go for $18 a gallon, while in rural IL, where i'm from, its like $3 last i checked )
so burgers are probably just cheaper where babish is 😭😭
@@saturniidz it just made me think Australia is similar to Nee Zealand but New Zealand apparently has significantly less buying power, maybe due to its density
Also concider the exchange rate between Australia and US very low, which is why it was confusing
We could include a 50% tip and it's still likely cheaper than buying similar in Aus.
hand cut crinkle cut is something I never thought I would see, that's absurdist levels of art
Every time I open up an American cheese slice, I hear Ralph Fiennes in the back of my mind "American cheese is the best cheese for a cheeseburger because it melts without splitting". Brilliant.
Really? I think my Ralph Fiennes of the Mind must be broken then because all I hear is "*You're* an inanimate f@cking object!"
Haha same!!
Every time.👌
I attempted to make this burger immediately after I returned from the theater. It was one of the best burgers I ever had. The caramelized onions were the best part of it.
Only way onions should be eaten on a cheeseburger.
@@jacobcoleman8250 nah homie raw purple onions slap
@@austindelisle3900 The disgusting bite overpowers all the other flavors on the burger.
@@jacobcoleman8250 You should try washing them before.
Working on my burgers now.
i like to think the crinkle cutter is actually incredibly sturdy but were no match for babish’s inhuman strength
To describe your version of Chef Slowik’s Cheeseburger, As Margot would say “My Eyes were a little bigger than my stomach.”
Nicely done.
This is exactly the type of video I have been missing from babish. I’ve felt like there hasn’t been much “binging” in most of the recent ones! So nice to see a longer video where you can tell he took time to get everything perfect!
to be fair food isn't exactly a focus in media, so finding new recipe's to make content out of can be hard
@@superspider64 uh...no it's not lol. There is reference to food in almost every film. Let's be real here. He has done soooo many foods from a plethora of shows but he still has a lot of ground to cover. Some shows he's done that have more than just the two recipes he's tried.
@@BasedBlackGirl_ Yeah he can make like five videos from this movie alone haha
Agreed
@@jeweetzelf734 he needs to do the full menu! This could have been a basics episode, but it was great to get the old feeling of babish back
I loved the burger scene in the menu the subtle progression of the emotions on his face he says he lost his love for cooking and have that love return not from an awe inspiring rendition of a dish but by a simple burger that returns his love for cooking by reminding him of why he set out on his path
Ralph Fienes really made such a small scene with no words powerful with emotion alone
He's a master of his craft honestly
@@melrye7350 avada kedavra ? :)
And on that day his hear grew three sizes. Oh wait that was the grinch.
Decided to try out the recipe and it is absolutely DELICIOUS! Took me a few tries to nail down a near perfect medium but once I did the taste was heavenly and it is a really filling meal so if ya'll are thinking about trying it out go for it.
I just wanna say that I love how you try the easier way then make it all again fixing your mistakes and tweaking the recipe until its perfect
Seeing Andrew trying to unhinge his jaw to eat everything is just too perfect.
It’s like a snake 😂
ok
As someone who helped film The Menu… this is the coolest thing I could have imagined!
You filmed part of it? It looked sick! Congrats
@@Leo-pu2nw thank you! I was Anya’s double. I know we’re all excited to see people recreating stuff from the movie, this is dope!
Awesome! Thanks for your and everyone's hard work, I enjoyed the movie.
It was a brilliant film. I’m not gonna lie, I was expecting the twist to be a cannibalism subplot that I’m certain a less clever film would pull. But it did not, and it kept me surprised throughout. It’s definitely a film I plan to get on Blu-Ray 📀. My compliments to the chef 🍷.
Wow, you guys did such a great job. I loved the movie
Just as an FYI. After working at roosters and hand cutting the wedges, I learned that a crinkle cut ROCKER KNIFE is the only way to actually get any leverage to cut the potatoes. I prefer the one with a round blade rather than the flat blade.
Edit: if you google "pampered chef crinkle cutter" you will see what I mean.
6:15 We all know that he took out some serious frustration on that cutter, and would have done the same. 😂
I absolutely LOVE that this got back to the more traditional BWB formula: “we made it the cheap and easy way to match the show/movie, now how can we make it better?”
Much more like old school BWB episodes that I loved years ago! Great video!
The Oprah show became the Oprah channel. I am sad.
Yeah man I feel you. The construction of the videos are different now, used to be my favorite cooking channel now just barely watch. I can't stand seeing anime with Alvin personally almost unsubbed completely first time I seen that shot
@@nickthatrick4262 oh man, I love anime with alvin! I've made a few things from his channel too and they're also really tasty
@@grahamminney5475 I love the original bwb style videos. Not a fan of anime with Alvin. But Alvin's channel is by far my favourite. I've made the beef welli and the cookies from his channel and wow.
@Nick ThaTrick glad I’m not the only one. Absolutely cannot stand the anime with Alvin vids.
Hawthorn prices include gratuity, as stated in the scene before Dessert, so that store-bought ingredients burger is priced almost exactly correct. Also the point was that it doesn't take fancy ingredients to make great food. Great food is made with care and love.
It like Ratatouille but minus the complex making of the classic food for the "food critic"...
it's basically that one episode of SpongeBob
Cheeseburgers are probably my favorite food (yes im american). Seeing Babish put tact and care into making a cheeseburger is exquisite. *Chef's Kiss*
I never thought that the line “Can I have that to go please” can give me chills
Right!? My heart was in my throat, the whole time! The moment that passed between Ralph and Ana was electric and so filled with tension. 🤌🏾
To each their own and I liked the film just fine, but i couldn't take it serious. I thought it was silly.
@@dreigivetimpoolmassivewedg7646 Its black comedy. It's meant to be funny. It doesn't mean it can't be tense too.
@@dreigivetimpoolmassivewedg7646 i get that
Let’s not get into a comment war please-
I saw this movie at an Alamo Drafthouse, twice. It's a place that serves real food and drink (not concessions) seat side whenever you want.
On second viewing, I got there early, ordered a drink and asked my server to bring me a burger toward at the end of the movie.
She brought it at the EXACT moment "just a well made cheeseburger" popped up on screen.
When art becomes life...
I quite enjoy going to Alamo Drafthouse for their special film menus.
That’s like a 5D movie experience
Did yours fare well after COVID? It used to be my favorite place to go but their prices increased and they took hotdogs off the menu 😔
@@Dr.Turkey yeah it seems to be doing fine. I haven't been to a movie where the theater was totally full, but they are well staffed, clean and it seems to be picking up. The only thing I've noticed is that the bar in the front area where you used to be able to get a drink before sitting down is never open anymore. All things considered I think this is a pretty decent tradeoff.
Was a massive Babish fan in the early days and just coming back now to binge (no pun intended) on his newer content. I have been loving getting a look into the process, and walking us through some of the mistakes he made and how he rectified them. Such an awesome channel, and an awesome dude.
I remember after watching this movie, I said myself to myself, "Now I want a cheeseburger."
it's funny to imagine everyone in the room waiting to die for hours while the Chef painstakingly creates American cheese with this method
I don't think he would have done - the staff of the restaurant probably eat normal food themselves, so he probably had regular cheese - but it is a funny idea.
I do feel the need to quote Hawthorne.
"We have everything."
"Probably overpriced at 9.99..."
*laughs/cries in European inflation*
No the 9.99 is for the fries, which is insane, the entire meal looks to be about 9.99
There's nothing like classic Babish you make you feel safe and happy on a cold grey Welsh Tuesday in January lol Thanks Babby
This was the most fun movie of last year
wow
I guess you didn’t see any other movies last year
It was fun, but the *most* fun? Not a chance
@@dovidstaples9985 that’s why it’s called an opinion
@@robpaxson4455 tbh, he did state it as fact, not opinion.
Protip: if you don't have sodium citrate, you can make your own sodium citrate solution by reacting baking soda(sodium bicarbonate) with lemon or lime juice(citric acid) in a warm pan over medium/medium low heat. Make sure it's fully reacted before adding milk so it doesn't curdle. Adam Ragusea has a video with this technique in it.
Now I really want a cheeseburger…. This whole video had my mouth watering! 🤤🤤🤤
"probably overpriced at 9.99"
We're out here not getting a burger under 13 Euros in a halfway decent burger house
This was the most fun movie of last year, and that scene had me craving a burger for a week after
@Don't Read My Profile Picture no problem
@@DontReadMyProfilePicture.4why do you hate Babish?
"fun".
Me too, man, me too!
@Don't Read My Profile Picture don't worry, we won't
Out of all the dishes presented on “The Menu” The cheeseburger was honestly the most appetizing looking meal
Edit: If someone responds with another comment being “that’s the point of the movie 🤓” like gee you don’t think I figured that out when I watched the movie
Because it’s food not art
well yeah the other food looked disgusting
Nah, the last dish was better
@@victorwhite5739 "Should've been served cold."
What? I prefer Ice cream.
That was the point.
I've come back to this video several times, because the buns look so magnificent I just can't look away. I have to make some of those.
I never thought of putting the onions in the patties that’s genius
As a Burger I can indeed confirm this is how a CheeseBurger is made 🍔
*Ba-Dum Tsssss*
Do you know Hot Dog?
@@8bitGutPunch Yes I have met hot dog a fine fellow
I want to eat you, Burger. 😛😘
@@markthompson8246A lot of people do
What I liked about the cheeseburger in the movie was that it wasn't a fancy, gourmet burger, but an ordinary one. The chef was excited to make it because it was most likely the first time in years that he had made ordinary food instead of fine dining food that needed to look perfect. Trust me, I get that same feeling when I make a burger at home.
Margot's little noises of satisfaction saved her life.
You don't make ordinary food at home?
Yeah I don’t think the second burger he made in the video would remind them of their childhood.
@@julianlittle4282 Nah, it's exactly what the movie addresses. Pretentious show cooking that has no point other than showing off. Just buy your buns and cheese at the store, mate!
@@DarkAngelEU Show cooking is what Babish used to do super often though, and he went back to that formula for this episode. Whenever he does something simple, he does it the way most people would first and then he overcomplicates it for the giggles. See: the Regular Show grilled cheese sandwich episode. Dude's just having fun and messing around in a kitchen on camera lol, don't worry bout it
I swear your version is the best looking burger + fry combination I've ever seen judging by looks. I really wish I could taste it.
I loved the burger scene in the menu the subtle progression of the emotions on his face he says he lost his love for cooking and have that love return not from an awe inspiring rendition of a dish but by a simple
Also, seeing the tiniest little mistakes even in videos today and not only refusing it edit it out, but narrate them is simply beautiful. Babish has always prided himself on admitting the mistakes he makes in his videos, and it's only made him consistently humble. Even if it's something as tiny as the tripod being just a hair off.
Ah yes. The one dish that started it all for Chef Slowik and it was probably the only one he genuinely enjoyed making in that film.
That was the whole point. Remember when Margo was looking at all the pics in his house? He looked absolutely miserable in all of them except for the old employee of the month pic of him making a burger. In that one he was smiling and looked genuinely happy. Her whole plan was to remind him of what cooking was for and show him that at least one person appreciated it.
@@wingracer1614 Which is why she was allowed to leave before the S'mores were made.
@@futurememory "Oh, Frylock, The Highlander was a documentary, and the events happened in real time."
This guy gets it
@@futurememory This idea of filming scripted entertainment might actually catch on. I hope it does.
Okie here learning about Oklahoma Style. Tried it immediately. Delicious
When the fry got split I had to run to the bathroom because I was salivating so much
I cannot overstate my respect for turning "making processed cheese product" into something that looks luxurious and gourmet and maybe like something I might actually want to try.
Yeah. It kinda has a McDonald's Sprite effect
everything is a sum of it's parts
I made this! BUNS INCLUDED (2nd time making bread). The meat/onion blend is fantastic, never had this style and the friends went crazy for it
as an executive chef myself, the simple pure at heart things are the best, all ways. lees is more I tell my cooks, passion is the first ingredient to any recipe.
back when i was in college and had a certain craving i would go to the student union lunch area and the food ladies that run the place always knew what i was going to get that i didnt need to write in an order, a nice hot cheeseburger and crinkle cut fries and sometimes they would put onion on my cheeseburger, they were the best people i ever knew
Something about watching the dough making here was just so satisfying 👌🏼
Babby, I work at a deli and I must say a majority of folks are just happy to get freshly sliced American cheese, it don’t gotta be photogenic and symmetrical but props to you all the way
It's in reference to the movie.
Loved the final moments of everyone getting a piece of the burger and some fries. Team meal!
I giggled every time you said Balls
I love how much the stand mixer walks around the table while it’s running
I’m not exactly sure why, and I can’t eloquently put this into words… but this video felt so perfect.
A classic Binging With Babish video with Andrew recreating a simple meal into something that does not demand 100-hundred extra steps. But he did it anyways, and it was beautiful.
Oh and can’t forget about Juparo playing in the background. :)
Perhaps if the American cheese in block form was frozen before slicing would have saved from the melt and shmear scenario
2:53 The stand mixer really just went like "bye"
I think this video also represents how babish used to make things from scratch, like the buns and even the cheese. The passion to make things from scratch is what made babish successful, kinda like the movie where the chef used to have passion with making food.
Everyone else is taking film analysis 101 but here you are coming out of level 900
Nijmegen insists those buns aren't a bridge too far.
2:18 To whoever subtitled this, Margot/Babish said "fancy deconstructed *avant* bulls(beep)."
You absolutely can add water to a dry dough, it's called bassinage and it actually helps when making any bread product. This allows the dough to hold more water than if all the water was mixed in at once. Also the average burger bun in the restaurant is weighed at around 90g before the second proof.
What a nice looking show! Surely nothing bad happens in it..
Something bad *does* happen in it, and don't call me Shirley!

This man is a definition of Perfection
Gotta love the effort that goes into making these perfect... even remaking the cheese to get it jut right
here's what the cheese burger mean in the movie.
The cheeseburger itself is a symbol of the thing that reminded Slowik why he began cooking, and how he fell in love with it. The simple act of preparing something for someone who greatly appreciates it - no bells and whistles, no frills or fuss.
Steven Universe once say "If every pork chop were perfect, we wont have hot dog"
I took it as middle class America as just wanting to appreciate art for art's sake rather than having some nonsensical overly intellectual meaning shoved in their face. As Margo said "you've taken all the fun out of eating"
Much like how writers and artists constantly insert their political messages into their work takes the fun out of watching movies or reading books or appreciating paintings.
Now I really wanna see a "Botched by Babish"-Style episode of the full footage for this episode, just to see how Andrew gradually gets so frustrated that he rips the crinkle cutter apart.
Oo I would definitely watch that
Always love your cooking style and comfort ❤
"behemoth balls." -babish
I like how the final shot has a LOT of color contrast between the two meals. It’s like hdr being off vs on
After you reach 10 million subs make
Clam-entine Crystal from Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated episode, "Where Walks Aphrodite"
for real 11.2 ain't bad for from scratch double burger and fries but the three days spent preparing it means it's kind of cost prohibitive.
Man, now I'm dying for a cheeseburger. 😋 Wait... maybe I should rephrase that. 😉
I’ve always wanted a cheeseburger from the menu but I’ve never been bold enough to order one
I'll be honest. Saw a guy make a burger with white sliced toasted bread aaaaaaand we've not looked back lol
There totally was pickles in the burger in the Menu. You can see one slice in the burger squeeze shot. No burger is complete without pickles.
Honestly, my favorite part of these videos is watching people eat the food, especially in groups. I appreciate knowing that you eat the food and you don't waste it. Now I'm hungry!
I've never been as hungery as I am watching this vid
Always love your cooking style and comfort
On any day in February, make Homer Simpson's Valentine Breakfast from, "I Love Lisa", episode
andrew: i’m not a professional chef
also andrew: has two cookbooks and an entire line of cookware as well as a successful youtube channel entirely dedicated to food
Of course. A chef is defined by their ability to work in a professional kitchen. Completely different from making videos and simply writing recipes.
I have massive respect for Andrew and admire his achievements. But being a chef is different compared to what he does. And he knows that himself.
bro made his own cheese slice
given the prices these days, that burger at $9.99 is a steal. and comes with fries!
I’m so happy he did this one!! The Menu has to be one of my favourite movies now.
Do yourself a favor and watch more movies
@@Mantrahiroshima do yourself a favor and shut up.
@@MantrahiroshimaI have. I just love The Menu!
I would say that "Margot" had a certain insight into Slowik, being in the service industry, and knew he would have burger buns and fries
Hmm no. She saw pics of him flipping burgers in his home . That's why she specifically orders that
@@panodontia I was specifically talking about the buns
The 🍔 was probably Chef's secret midnight snack after a particularly bad day in the kitchen.
At exactly 8:10 I get an ad, and it’s Andrew😂
The second I saw this film I knew wanted to see Babish handle at least one of it’s amazing looking dishes .
Hope he tackles the Bresse chicken thighs with heirloom masa laser-engraved tortillas...
As an Oklahoman I can confirm we do this with our onions on our burgers but I’ve never heard it called Oklahoma style until today
Can’t beat an okie onion burger honestly
I’m now extremely interested in making my own processed cheese.
I like ending , where speed up and all take a bite XD
Still love ur and team work, every video insane!)
I got a Cheese Burger right after the movie.
BEST CHEESE BURGER ever.
I'd love to see a Babish version of Tyler's Bull****
Both recreating it and showing how to fix it
That and the rest of the more possible dishes.
the most surprising part about this is making your own American cheese actually looks pretty fun
The Menu was much more entertaining than I expected and I’m glad you’re tackling it on this channel. I will definitely try to make the burger sometime
6:20 I feel the way he just goes “are you kidding me?” Based off his body language alone
I love your recipes, amazing work
question: are you using potato flour or potato starch?
The way you were able to actually tear apart that crinkle knife in frustration was hilarious! 😂
