I love watching this man cook. I'm so happy his channel has blown up and he is getting hella subs!!! He really deserves it. Keep up the good work Andy!!!🍽🍽🍽🍽🥂🥂🥂🥂
I totally agree! I still remember the first time he popped up in my suggestions! He and babe were so darn cute, and the excitement he had was awesome! I’ve loved watching him/them every since! ❤
Love the food, the recipes, the no show attitude, the way it is taught, t he humor, the humility, the generosity. Thanks Andy for all great videos and for being you!
You know what I love about this video? I mean, aside from it being a 10 minute video about burgers? It's no frills. 10 minutes, 2 types of burgers--a trendy fast-food style and a restaurant style--each presented as equally valid options, each with simple ingredients. You couldn't cut a second out of this video without losing _something_ that makes it great. What more could you ask for?
Hey Andy! My name is John from Vancouver BC Canada, we love your videos!! Keep doing you mate, I am my self a professional chef, 18 years under my belt, I love seeing such talented chefs from all over the world. Keep up the good work! Canada loves you !
It's an absolute JOY to watch Andy cook. No nonsense straight to business - and the tidbits of practical knowledge (like putting a divot in the center of patty to control the shrinkage) - GOLD!
Andy, awesome video! I really appreciate it when you leave in the parts that didn't turn out as planed. That's life, and you're embracing it. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks mate!
The smash takes it! The ratio of effort in to taste out is unbeatable! Love the simplicity of both - burgers don’t need to be chocked full of ingredients to be good!
i hate the XXL burger trend and it solely relies on social media marketing "look at the abomination infront of me" then its an overloaded monster you can barely eat and having egg, chili and 100 other ingredients on it only makes it a mix that has nothing to do with a good burger, hence why the actual top 5 burgers are the simple ones. 2-3 smash patties, onion and a good cheese is enough in my case. bacon is good too but it alrdy starts getting too much.
I've been grating frozen butter into the (cheap) mince, making a steak-house style patty and cooking over charcoal. Some of the butter melts out and drips into the coals for a killer smoky flavour, and the rest stays trapped in the patty itself, cause everything tastes better with a bit of butter :). For anyone that has had a Ferg's Burger in Queenstown, this tastes as close as I can get.
how do you do it without over working your burgers? I am having trouble not overworking my burgers, like...i don't when too much (work) is too much and when "it's still fine" (so i underwork and it collapses while cooking into mince clumps)
@@goodlearnerbadstudent756 I'm not using a tonne of butter, maybe 100 grams for 5 burgers, and folding in a bit at a time. I'm not trying to combine it evenly, its intended to mostly melt and drip onto the coals.
i love watching your videos, i usually find chefs a little intimidating/condescending but you got a great balance of talent and character . really really cool
I love how quick and to the point your instructional videos are. Thank you for doing these Andy. You're the best! If you get around to it. I would love to see tour take on Filipino pancit! I like chicken, but steak or pork would be great also.🍗🥩🥓
Another great video the way you explain things as your doing it is top notch best Chef to learn from glad your getting so many views lately hope it grows n grows love n support from bottom of NZ
What makes social media worth while is watching talented people get the attention they deserve. It's so fulfilling. Good for the soul. We're all very proud of Andy! Rock on!!! -Jules
Andy, I’m glad I’ve found your channel and have been learning from you! You’re not an over the top entertainer, just a solid teacher that’s easy to follow. Keep it up!
Love your video as usual chef, thank you. Good mention about chilling the head attachment on the grinder, I always forget to do that. Until now I have always just ground some gravy beef, about 80/20 mix and received good feed back. The thicker burger, med-rare is my preference, but I wouldn't risk it using store bought ground stuff. I'm also going to try going up-market by sourcing some dry age off-cut. Quick tip, if you want to accurately check your gas bottle level, pour boiling water from the kettle down the outside wall and you'll easily see the level of the internal gas!
What I love about this channel is he is a complete professional in both the kitchen and at home, and so clean and organised! Plus the food looks absolutely scrumptious 👌
Fuggen fantastic you didnt have a stunt burger ready for that marketing perfect pink blush, came into the slight overcook (that i didnt even see and would have inhaled that burger regardless) and owned it. Real cooking at home. Magic. Love this content.
smash burger every time, especially with the raw onion! I love the fact that you kept the steakhouse burger simple and let the meat shine. I hate it when burgers contain so much other stuff that the meat itself gets lost. Great video!
I love cooking but been stuck in a repeat food rut since before lockdown. Your videos make it easy to get new recipes tried! Smash looks like a good effort level for me!
We preffer the smash burgers for the flavour the crust give you and the speed and ease of cooking. If we feel like a thick "burger" we make german/danish frikadellen which are 50/50 beef/pork mince onion and breadcrumbs and a bunch of spices which will no doubt annoy the purist burger lovers. When we grind our own meat we like to freezr the attachments just like chef does, but we also put the meat in the freezer as well for 30-40 minutes before grinding. I would like to mention not to leave the meat in the freezer to long as you can stuffup the grinder attachment, something i did using almost fully frozen meat while ramming it down the feed shoot. Thanks for the video, even showing the stuffup. Take care, God bless one and all.
Just come across your channel. Love it. Excellent food with down to earth delivery - everything doesn't always go to plan? That's life. Keep it going mate.
smash burger takes the win for me. My idea of a burger is something that brings a bunch of unique ingredients into one convenient bite while making sure everything works together. Nothing is really the star of the dish, even though the meat is as important as it is it still sits fairly level with everything else. The smash gives a lot of creative to mess around with that idea and you can get so many burgers that are all completely different from each other. So much fun to mess around with sauces, toppings, bread, and meat to try and find the next banger.
Just a tip if you want the cheese to melt down so it's nice and gooey - pull the hood down on the BBQ or put a lid over the skillet so the heat reflects back down on top of the patty. Becomes more important if you're using cheese from a block instead of american style. I like to let some of it melt right down onto the pan so you end up with bits of grilled cheese on the outside - perfection.
I love seasoning my ground beef before I make the Pattie. I season with mustard powder, soy sauce and nam pla. Also chopped shallot in the mix. It means working the meat a bit more… but the umami is amazing.
Delicious Andy! My vote goes to smash burger too, just because I really love the freshness of salad on a burger, tbh. But the big burger with caramelised onions looks amazing...
Great video as usual Andy, easy to understand and have given me some helpful tips on the smashed burger. I have one question though, where did you get your burger smash and scraper from?
Hi Andy…I love your channel….these burgers look amazingly delicious!👌👌👌I would eat both of these any day of the week.👏👏👏 If I had to choose, I would go with smash burgers! Greetings from the United States 🇺🇸😁✌️✌️
Great vid! All I know is that I crave both those burgers. I made steakhouse-style burgers for my son's birthday last year for the whole family... ground my own chuck and shortrib mix (I wouldn't have the stomach to grind a $100 Wagyu steak lol). I used marble cheddar instead of American, and I'm personally not much for caramelized onions unless it's for soup... it's raw onion for me no matter the burger. In North America we get sweet onions from Georgia... the famous Vidalia, or Walla Walla onions from Washington state. I imagine down under you get some variant of the Maui onion from Hawaii? It's like that... they're amazing on burgers. I like that you did the smashburger with just mustard and pickles... that's how I like it too. Too much "burger sauce" out there these days... tons of mayo and ketchup and hot sauce and worcestershire... I like all those things in their place, but all I need on a burger to be happy is ballpark mustard and pickles.
Steakhouse for sure with American or cheddar. Nothing beats grinding your own cuts. I love both, but that custom grind cant be beat. My favorite grind is short rib, brisket, and chuck. All together or individual.
It's the simple beauty of a smash burger that makes it what it is. Steakhouse style burgers are for when you're trying to do something wild and unique. They almost don't even feel like the same food
Smash burger all day, love these vids man. The way you break down recipes to base ingredient really holds my attention. I've been cooking professionaly for 15vyears and I'm still learning thanks to you, Cheers Andy!
I love a good hefty burger, but having seen smash burgers recently (with 2 patties) I'm thinking that I'm gonna have to try these. Andy makes everything look goooood!
Hey Andy, can you do a video on an Aussie breakfast? E.g roast tomatoes, poached eggs, sliced avocado, mushrooms, toasted sourdough…the world needs to know that Australia has the best breakfasts.
Question and looking for an answer here. On the Weber grills are the grill grates supposed to be on the flat or rounded side???? I see you have the rounded side up but at the store they have the flat side up. And it looks like there are little "feet" on the corners to make me think the flat side should be up. Curious your thoughts??
I like a good steakhouse burger once or twice a year after thinking about it I love sliders and their big brother the smash burger a few times a month! Love the content as always Andy! Your execution is damn near perfect every time
I agree! The smash for the win! The crispiness of the lettuce, onion and pickles combined with the crispy flavorful bits on the burger and that crappy American cheese we all love 😀

Thank you, I really appreciate that! And thanks for being a part of this journey!

Agreed. Any burger that you can't reasonably take a bite out of is too big.
9:32 The honesty is refreshing.

The way you cook is extremely incredible. You make it look so easy and am definitely trying these.

Nothing better than a good burger with a decent pattie I agree with you keep it simple and there both great
Nice work Chef. Come summertime, I'm gonna try this out...love you channel!!!

Well done Chef. I agree, the smash burger is better due to the varied flavors and textures from the veg and condiments.
What I love about this channel is he is a complete professional in both the kitchen and at home, and so clean and organised! Plus the food looks absolutely scrumptious 👌
Thanks for watching!
My favourite cooking channel on TH-cam by far!

Wow the 2 look like perfect! Bravo me and nonna approve!!!❤❤❤
im just so addicted watching this !! please make more videos
Never change how you do this. So honest and no ego.
They look fabulous. Must try these 😋
Depends on the mood IMHO! Both of these look unbelievable 💜👌
smash burger every time, especially with the raw onion! I love the fact that you kept the steakhouse burger simple and let the meat shine. I hate it when burgers contain so much other stuff that the meat itself gets lost. Great video!
I like both, but I really enjoy smash burgers more because those crispy bits are so good.
Haha. As South African Canadian, you saying “I stuffed up…” brought me back to my youth 😂😂
The burgers looked amazing!
We appreciate your dedication and consistency. God bless you and everyone here.
Although not many can afford Wagu beef, the smash burger instructions are priceless, gotta try this. Thanks! Hugz, Tree
Always love watching your channel. Informative and excellent content!!! Wishing you all the success for the future of this channel
🙏
Andy - A variation on the smash is the Oklahoma Onion burger. Interesting history and wonderful
ALL the pickles... yumm
I used to be a steakhouse burger guy, but with age and experience I’m now a bigger fan of the smash burger! Great video.
So much better to watch then the shorts. Keep doin your thing bro. Love the content too.

I love them both! I'm down for either one depending on the occasion. If I had to chose perhaps a slight nod to the medium rare steak burger.
I'm with you on this one.
My favorite is a double smash burger with caramelized onion, jalapenos, and bacon. Order it almost every single time.
I agree! The smash for the win! The crispiness of the lettuce, onion and pickles combined with the crispy flavorful bits on the burger and that crappy American cheese we all love 😀
I agree. I love the big burger but that smash burger crust!
