How to Cook 2 Regional Fast-Food Burgers with George Motz | Burger Scholar Sessions
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- Burger Scholar George Motz is taking you on a ride through regional American fast-food burger history! A lot of the big, commercial fast-food places have given the hamburger a bad wrap. Which is why George wants to set the record straight and show you two family-owned, hyper-regional burger chains that still do it right-Swensons in Ohio, and Fat Mo's in Tennessee. These beloved burgers are highly unique, and take a few twists and turns to get to the finished product. Swenson's "Galley Boy" burger uses both barbecue and tartar sauce. Meanwhile, the "Double Mo" burger from Fat Mo's incorporates a secret 18-spice Persian marinade. In the words of George, "These places are proof that you don't have to sell out to be a success!"

Regional fast-food burgers!? *LET'S DO THIS*
@ʜᴇʟᴘ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴅɪɴᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴄʜ 1 ꜱᴜʙ. just subbed. Happy birthday pal
What griddle does he use? I need an upgrade.
George needs to get to R-B Drive In, in Hutchinson, KS.
permission to use the 2nd burger making method on a food truck ofc i would use a different 18 spice
Flipping on the Digitus Impudicus to Mcdonalds. I would respect Carl’s Jr. tho.
Yup he deserves a Netflix show of him travelling the world eating and cooking burgers! Make it happen 🔥
Omg dude I would binge the hell out of it. I already rewatch his videos and have made some of these burgers and I want more
Building off the idea you got me thinking it should be in some way George making regional American burgers for people around the world to see what's popular where. That would be sick!
@@longboardvid143 Hey Tim, it's TIm. I totally agree with you, would binge watch the crap outa that.
Money in the bank if they created it.
@@TangoIndiaMike144 no doubt Tim!
George eats burgers on this show like he’s never had a burger before. (George I know you’ve eaten a lot of burgers, I love this show)
Right!? Ya know true love when....
Passion and love for the burger
Correct it’s like he’s getting off on the history, the experience, and the actual burger itself all at once
I like this show too
Yeah. When you bite a finger or accidently eat some paper and keep going...you know that's a good burger!
At 9:25 the “I never fuckin learn man” is the most George quote especially cuz the tone lol
Seriously. It was so real. No one could act that well.
Why do I always read comments as they appear in the video. None of it is real, man
Best part about that for me is that I was thinking "You think he'd learn by now" just before he said that.
The greatest running bit in this show is George just constantly burning the shit out of himself because he gets too carried away
George Motz is what I’d imagine Shaggy would be like as an adult
Personality 100% but Shaggy is a vegetarian!
@@Granger744 not in every rendition of the series though. In the first one Shaggy would eat meat all the time. I think you’re right but that rendition of Shaggy came in later
@@micktyler6579 yeah true. It came about because the voice actor was vegetarian (vegan maybe?) and they wanted him to do advertisements for meat as Shaggy. As far as I know he fired back and said he wouldn’t voice the character at all until they changed him to a vegetarian.
@@Granger744 interesting but of trivia there!
@@Granger744 you're correct, I'm pretty sure it was due to a Toy deal with some fast food company like McDonald's or Burger King, there were going to be kids meals with Scooby characters and they wanted Casey Kasem to voice Shaggy for a commercial which he morally disagreed with.
As an Ohio native I can vouch for the absolute BANGER that is a Swenson's burger.
Galley Boy fucking BOPS 🙌🏽
Agreed.
Still my favorite burger in the world and now I can make it at home since I no longer live in Akron!
Living on the West coast now, whenever I try burgers around the country I tend to ask myself if its better than a Galley Boy.
Went to the one in Jackson Twp. on Saturday. It never fails to be perfect.
My dad worked at a factory very close to the original Fat Mo’s for 40 years. When I was a kid, he would bring home a bag of Fat Mo’s burgers every Friday night. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
damn 40 years in a factory, people just dont live like that anymore. May I ask around what time period this was?
@@AugustasKunc As soon as the Vietnam war was over until early 2010s. Some layoffs in the interim, but right around 40 years
and to think you wouldn't have that exact memory if it wasn't for a king getting usurped
Sure he did.
@Reda Mohammed Jdaini Why?
I look forward to these Burger Shows Equally as Much as Hot Ones Now. I learn so much and get new recipes to try for Cheat Day haha
Oh hi jaxblade
Hot ones sucks now. This is the ONLY show i watch now
I look forward to the Burger Scholar Sessions more than anything on this channel.
Same
Haven't watched Hot Ones in at least a year. I simply lost interest in the weird celebrities I'd never heard of. I only want Motz. He's the star of the channel
so happy to know that Swensons was mentioned by someone with such a big platform, nice to see a local place to be mentioned, In fact I had swensons like a few days ago lol.
Swensons sucks.
@@hulksmash8159 why are you actively going on other peoples comments to spread negativity?
The Black Keys talk about Swenson's a lot
you reminds me so much Johnny Knoxville... the sane and hungry one. Great channel
Yes!!!
So I'm not the only one who sees that?
Johnny Knoxville meets Wolverine.
I was about to write that The resammblance is incredible.
I see it.
It isn't a Burger Scholar episode without George burning himself
every scar has a burger in mind. lol
Sacrificing himself for our education.
The show's slogan is "aaaoow, shit that's hot!"
Jeffery
The belly burn was funny cause I did it in a bad way the day before in a exact fashion, just hotter.
George may have a HUGE personality, but never outshines the burgers. The man is the ... REAL DEAL.
As much as I love and am here for him 💯, I fully agree. He seems to make the burger the show.... pun intended lol
Pro tip: “careful not to bur....OH! f*ck! sh*t! That’s HOT!”
Rebrand the series: George Burns Himself in Various Ways
I went back and watched a bunch of Burger Scholar Sessions after seeing this comment and I can confirm that George has burnt himself in some way, shape, or form, in almost every one.
Burnger Scholar
SWENSONS IS THE BEST. So so love someone giving them some shine.
It's great! Fellow akron ohio resident! It's cool we have something like that out here
@@knickymusic when they built the Univ Hts one I was in heaven and I don't even live in CLE full time anymore. Swensons forever.
9:02 his Spatula magically turns into a pair of Tongs. He really must be the IRL Spongebob...
Came to the comments for this. Thanks.
@@drchrisUk haha same
That spatula turning into tongs then back into a spatula twice in a row is a bit of a trip
I searched hard for this comment
I wonder if us mere mortals can obtain a magical transforming scraper.
@@SilenceOverStrength came straight to the comments for it, too
Lol!
I'm from northeast Ohio and can't believe George is talking Swenson!! It's amazing!!!
Im a curbserver at that Swensons he went too!
you have a cool job
That's awesome! Y'all work hard. I grew up going to the ones in Kent and Cuyahoga Falls. Now I go to the North Olmsted or Seven Hills ones!
@@Margar02 Lol me to, I go to the one right next to the highway on the border of akron and cuyahoga falls all the time, we live over here in stow now lol
As someone who grew up a couple miles from a Swenson's I'm really happy it got some love on Burger Scholar. I always figured George Motz knew about it given the more obscure places he's been, just happy more people will learn about the NE Ohio gem!!!!
I agree. I personally think Swensons is in that elite class of fast food burgers. I can't decide whether them or In n Out is my favorite.
Swenson's is literally heaven and I'm so excited to see it talked about by the Burger Gawd
God I wish these videos were longer, I could watch George talk about burgers all day!
Swenson’s finally getting the damn respect it deserves!!!!
Love it! Swenson’s is a gem in NE Ohio. Great job on the recreation of the Galley Boy. The only ingredient that no recipe can recreate is the memory of eating there as a kid!
george: woo you smell that?"
Me, now jealous: NO GEORGE I DONT FKIN SMELL THAT"
Lack of smell is a sign of covid.
Yes. Yes, I can.
I'm a life long vegetarian, but I cannot for the life of me stop watching this burger show with George Motz.
I came for the hot ones, but stayed for the burger scholar.
exactly same!
Method and variety is always interesting even if the food itself is not your thing.
Same deal for me, it has made me try out about 15 different vegan burger replacements - some taste almost identical to beef, so I'm still enjoying burgers!
Had no idea In-N-Out invented the drive-through.
It sucks too cuz I think they're trash after hearing so much hype about them
urban legend 😅
To be fair , who really knows or even cares
@@brianlorenzo7084 bro, can I get a hit of that crack you're smoking? Must be fire.
Because they didn’t. Lol
Broh, so surprised to see Swenson's on here.
My kids make me take them there like once a week xD
Iconic and beloved!
My buddy had them cater his wedding.
We love this burger!
He gives his blood, sweat, and tears to bring us this content. We shall honor the burgers of the world and not let them be forgotten.
OMG OMG OMG Swenson's!! Long Live Swenson's! Been going there all my life. Its been great to see them grow over the decades!
I live 10 minutes from a Swenson's and it is incredible.
Not able to get their burger but can make the one in the video if it’s anything like that I’m very jealous
The minute i saw the thumbnail i was stoked!! Now i just need a california to wash it all down
@@The_Walla YES! California all the way!!
I absolutely love this dude, man. First time watching him I thought to myself "eh, burger scholar? Really?" but I was instantly hooked. Dude knows his shit down to a T, and his personality is genuine as hell. Give this man a longer show, he deserves more airtime.
There are several Fat Mo's in the surrounding cities like Murfreesboro and Smyrna that are sit down as well as drive through, and they also serve an almost 3lb burger that has all the normal toppings along with bbq sauce, sauteed mushrooms and onions, jalapenos and other stuff and GOOD LORD is it good
that 3lb burger has been a memorable part of many regretful nights in college xD
How can anyone not like this guy? Hes got such good energy and also its fun seeing someone do something they enjoy.
I love how he gets so giddy to try a burger every single time. This is a guy who's found his calling in life.
Swensons!!!!!! I can attest to how amazing the Galley Boy is. Had many of them during my time in Ohio. Glad to see this place get the recognition it deserves.
I myself have worked as a professional cook in many kitchens but this show has taught me the true art of burger craft. Ive tried quite a few burgers from this show and everytime they turn out fantastic and better than any other burger I could get at a joint around me. Thankyou
Maybe when I’m retired, I’ll travel to the US and travel the country. I’ll tell my wife it’s to see different tourist destinations but it’ll actually be to try all the different burgers.
Wife: "He's there cheating on me. I know it"
Husband:
The galley boy is a bucket lister for sure
My grandfather was a carhop at the original Swensons. Finally getting one down in Southern Ohio this year
I grew up nearest the original Market St. location in Akron. Back then (early-mid 80's) it was just a nondescript cinder block building with a parking lot around it. I was surprised by how many Cadillacs one would see in such a slummed-out looking location -- which, of course, were grandparents spoiling their grandkids. :)
I wonder if Motz knows about Big Star and The Spot in Kenosha, WI. Still spreadin' that drive-in love!
im hungry
I live in West Allis Wisconsin but ive never heard of either of those spots ill have to make the trip
Love your vids bro
I go to the brat stop every thanksgiving when I get hungry driving back from Chicago
How to paint burgers when
"This burger is all about method in the construction... where's my fucking spatula"
-spongebob2021 @ 4:24
😂😂😂😁
As a Cleveland native if y’all get a galley boy get it in between a grilled cheese trust me it’s secret menu item
Wait What!? I have been going for year's, drive by the one on Cedar everyday going home from work at CCF. What is this you speak of?? Ha. Sounds delicious 👍
I ate so much Swenson's when I lived Akron. I want a Galley Boy with a Peanut Butter Shake so bad.
I am a big fan of add bacon. The smoke of the bacon kills with the bbq and pops against the tartar sauce.
Get the tater teazers cajunized too 🤤🤤🤤
@@jamesb2894 that's my order every time! The peanut butter shake just works so well with the galley boy flavors
I am so lucky to be able to go to Swenson's whenever I want
My man!! Fat Mo's is a LEGEND! I used to live within walking distance, everything on the menu is great, even the veggie burger and fried pickles! Absolute must stop if you're in Nashville!
My local fat moes was on the corner of richards rd and Antioch pike. I’m so excited to be going back and having a burger again.
@@rogerdmnd I lived right behind the Murfreesboro one, not sure if it's still there or not, also frequented the East Nashville one
I lived up the road from the one in Madison. Sad it closed
Never thought a burger show would have the "re-watchability" factor but it does. Great job!
Get a partner that looks at you the way Burger Scholar George Mots looks at a fresh burger.
Ya.... it’s like the way most people look at bacon.
And it’s fresh cooked burger lol
Nice to see Swensons get some love!
When you find out the galley boy from Swensons only costs $3.35...
3 years ago, this guy already so proficient in burger, his tools magically change shape and function when he puts patties in while cooking the second iconic burger - legend this man is
Can you smell what the Motz is cooking? Burgers ofcourse
And occasionally himself it seems.
@@AtheistPilgrim this trumps his comment hands down 😂
I love how both burgers look " simple" but George gets so excited "because it's all about technique" with them. Hopefully these restaurants will outlast the big (worldwide) burger chains
Whatttt never expected to see Swensons here!! This is so cool.
I live in Nashville and I am happy you told Fat Mo's story
A while back I started a spreadsheet listing all the restaurants I want to try when in different parts of the country/around the world. I love George's show because I add two or three restaurants to that list every episode!
Burger Scholar Sessions: Watch George Motz chuckle as he burns his hands, then giggle as he scalds his mouth.
George motz is the goat I love watching this dude
Motz is like the coolest dad ever and I wish I could shake his hand
His love of burgers is so heartwarming.
Swensons is to die for.
"primary source hamburger joints" is a beautiful phrase that encapsulates all that is Motz
George Motz: *Unwraps burger and presents it to camera*
Me: "Zoom in camera man, dont be shy"
Motz's voice makes him sound like the Bob Ross of cooking
Idk about that....
Sure, if Bob Ross said things like "shit i fucked up my happy little cloud"
@@jayirwin3190 actually made me laugh out loud
We don't believe in mistakes we believe in happy accid.... OH SHIT I BURNED MYSELF AGAIN!
True, in so far as they're both voices of human males
George is an icon. I love knowing that he's out there doing his thing, and bringing it back to us with such enthusiasm.
This is so great. Can you imagine a world without the Burger Show, no neither can I.
I don't know if anyone is keeping track, but I think this episode set the record for the number of times George Motz burns himself.
Petition for George to go on Hot Ones
Prefer for him to not make that show garbage too
@@randyvancamp7941 who hurt you?
Yooooo, that'd be sick haha
@@Scottttyboy seriously who dives deep into comments to piss on a video they didn't like.... go watch something else or get some therapy Randy
@@s4njuro462 I’m the first comment... you’re diving buddy.
This guy is like the alt dimension version of wolverine if he retired and focused on food instead of fighting bad guys. LOL
Any time friends from out of town come to visit, we take them to Swenson's. It is always a hit. It is great to see it getting recognition like this.
I love how the spatula magically transforms into tongs.
I freaked out when he said Swenson's! Fucking best burger you'll ever have!!
Tartar sauce? Gross. Olive? Gross. No thank you. Ever
@@b1k2q34 I mean... You don't have to eat the olive. I don't. And I think he might be slightly wrong about the tartar sauce. It's more of a mayo and mustard mix with diced pickles in it.
Alt Title: George Motz burning himself for 11 minutes
This Galley Boy burger looks like the best one I'm yet to see while binge watching this series. Stay tuned for updates.
You will never get the recipe exact because it certain things locally sourced but I have the closest recipe you will ever get to the swenson’s galley @gotpotz
I used to drive 200+ miles from Cincinnati to Akron for my Swensons fix. I live in NC with family in Illinois.. I drive through Akron (adds about 8 hours to the drive) just for my fix. Dang, it's been so long.... Need to make a trip and go! Another drive-in in the Akron area is Skyway. Similar burgers, also very good. George, I LOVE YOU for this!!!!
Born-and-raised Nashvillian here. Grew up with Fat Mo's and have always loved the burgers. Never knew the history! Motz you the man.
I've been waiting a long ass time for this.
Fat Mo's pride baby
I actually gasped at the idea of it being a burger with a Persian twist.

George: You Smell That?
Me; Yes, I do Mr. Motz
I watched this video the other day and realized Swensons is an hour and a half away. The Galley Boy slaps. Their onion rings are amazingly salty and I love them. Listen, fellow Ohio-ans. Swensons is worth the drive.
Swenson's rocks! My Dad was born & raised in Cleveland & Akron and we've been there lots of times.
The "Swenson Run" is still one of the funniest things in the world to me... even as a NE Ohio native...
yeah it makes me uncomfortable. I have an A&W and a Swensons with in a mile of my house, I go to A&W just because of the running.
@@iagainsti1833 Lol you must by Kent State
As a clevelander I recognized the Swenson’s burger immediately lol
That classic green olive on top! Heck yes. Now I need a Galley boy. 🙌🏻
Galleyboys yummmmm
George is right. Brown sugar is in the beef.
Drinking game: everytime he burns himself you drink 1 sip.
Anytime he makes a weird noise, down your drink xD
Instructions unclear I am now dead from alcohol poisoning.
I watched this video while eating a galley boy, you’re right, this is the pride of NE Ohio. Around here we think this is one of the best burgers anywhere.
George, if you're not aware of the burger at Jerry's Sno Cones in Memphis, you should investigate. They griddle the burger, then place in a crockpot with au jus. It's a genius concept and one of the best burgers in America. Cheers, sir.
Can you be any cooler than George Motz.. I don't think so
legit most people I know are way cooler than him
You can be actually. By not CONSTANTLY trying to make jokes about burning your fingers/ mouth when you’re considered THE burger scholar
Me: That burger looks like a pensioner's full diaper
George: It's a thing of beauty!
Me: It's a thing of beauty!
"they're doing something nobody ever does anymore... running"
I just love George and his energy! Unmatched
Man watching these makes me hungry all the time and George delivers entertainment and knowledge at the same time. The only downside of this is I can't even eat what he made. 😢
He is more classic than the classic hamburger XD
5:08 "Now you have tartar sauce, patty, SHIT!..." Weird burger, George.
Crazy how the spatula turned to tongs
Just like the spork, it's the magical "tongula" 😉
Gotta love B-roll.
Sorry, not spatula... Putty knife?
Swensons is almost a rite of passage for my family. We have all long moved on to different parts of the world but we all look back fondly on Swensons and any time were in the area it is mandatory that we stop there.
Love how the scraper magically changes to tongs when the burgers go into dip. Looks yummy

Get this man a Netflix burger show
because of you i dumped my old gas grill and bought a plancha! this summer is burger summer! thank you very much for the inspiration. - and your american burger book!
18 spice marinade would've blown peoples minds back then, what a great fusion of 2 cultures.
