It is amazing to see how much of a softy he is on the show with the kids. I was expecting so much more tears.

Looks closer to Fallbrook, or maybe Deluz.

If I left my hamburger buns in a grill that long, they'd be a charred mess. His idea of "piping hot" is different from mine.

All the shows that have kids versions, like chopped, aren't mean to the kids.

The chef at work used to work at one of his fine dining restaurants. She said that when he came in he was quite nice to everyone.

We were actually talking about his burger place out here and she didn't feel it was very good. Not bad, but not amazing.

I ate at Burgr in Planet Hollywood back in March. Best burger I've ever had and the group I was with ordered like 5 plates of the Gooey Fries.


I am going to emulate this recipe this weekend

What's wrong with gas? A great burger can be cooked on gas, charcoal, cast iron, pellet grills, and even a George Foreman grill.

Surprisingly (I always expect a chef to get a little too creative with a burger), I didn't disagree with any of that. 

Like a lot of chefs though, he assumes a bit too much when "teaching" others. He didn't give any details on his chuck and brisket grind, other than commenting on how good it was and how the fat was just right. A lot of people would probably appreciate some details on the mayo thing he made, though I have my own creation that I'm quite fond of. 

If I have the time, I like caramelizing the onion instead. Grilling them like he did is great, too. 

He seasons a bit more than I do, but I'm not there to taste it. I'm sure it's good. I like that he went with what looks to be a butterhead lettuce of some sort. Nice. 

EDIT: He also assembled the burger in the proper order, which few people seem to get right.

For as little time as those things are on the grill at super high heat, I seriously doubt you'd notice the difference in a blind test repeated several times. 

For the record, I don't own a gas grill. But I'm just sayin'. 

Also: He's a chef. And chefs looooove consistency. He knows exactly how much heat he's working with, and it's repeatable. Charcoal can be a bit of a variable (few take the time to actually weigh the coals, or time the burn) and he probably appreciates consistency above all else. 

I'm a nerd and a perfectionist, and I would have probed those puppies with a Thermapen before pulling them. He's probably done it enough on that grill, with that exact grind, that he can just time it (in his head or otherwise). Consistency, consistency, consistency.

Yeah, egg is fine in a hamburger. Meatloaf is distinguished by the breadcrumbs and thorough mixing.
The mixing would make burgers less tender, but in meatloaf the soaked bread crumbs heat up/expand and keep everything tender and moist.

Gordon Ramsey is really good at all the little details that make a big difference.

I watched his video on scrambled eggs, I've made scrambled eggs 1000 times, and I learned I was doing it wrong. so much better using his method.


Oh, and I would eat the shit out of the GR burger. :)

Binding agents are not required in hamburgers especially if they have been properly rested in the refrigerator and your grill is properly cleaned and seasoned.  Eggs belong on top of the burger if at all.

I do, and I've never understood this argument. Gas isn't any faster, unless you're pulling pre-made patties out of the freezer. 

See all that shit he's got prepped and laying out by the grill? The coals are ready to rock by the time you've finished that. Start the coals in the chimney immediately before even looking at the kitchen, and they'll be ready by the time you've got your patties made, your sauce/spread created, your onions, tomatoes and lettuce cut and prepped, etc. 

Charcoal: Light the coals right now, then get your mise en place taken care of. 
Gas: Get your mise en place taken care of, then turn the burners on. 

Same difference. Fucking up the order isn't the fault of the charcoal.
