That does look good but I'd make a few changes.

I'd skip the teriyaki and ketchup (don't like ketchup and not a huge fan of teriyaki) and go with something spicy and sweet, use fresh garlic with the butter in the pan when toasting the bun and use pineapple rings (what the fuck was he thinking? Rings are the same size as a burger and would stay together when eating much easier as well) instead of slices.

Good video.

What kind of fucking bullshit is that? First he blatantly doesn't match the burger from Pulp Fiction and then gives us his own rendition of what it should have been?

I cam here for a Big Kahuna burger, not some asshole foodies opinion of what should have been a Big Kahuna burger.

Valid point on the rings.

Also I agree with skipping the ketchup, but I would keep the teriyaki.

I could deal with the teriyaki if it was mixed into the meat before hand with a bit of brown sugar. Then it would get that crispy candy like caramelization on the meat. You could taste it but it wouldn't overpower the other ingredients.

It just looked super gross when he slathered a quarter cup of it on the bun.

I am going to have to politely disagree here. A proper burger blend should stand on its own. The sauce should be on the spongy absorbent bun. I would add bacon though. Thick cut, maple syrup and brown sugar coated bacon, that was nice and crispy, to that burger. That's just me though.

I see your point on the burger mix. If you have a good meat mix (bacon in with the meat) all a burger should need is cheese (or not) and a bun.



But this is not a typical burger so I think exceptions can be made.

I think I may make these for supper this week and will try the meat both ways (teriyaki in and out) to see which I like better. If I do I'll post picks here.

I'm sure that is good because it would get the bacon flavor through the meat.

But isn't it better to have the bacon separates you can specify amount of cooking for the meat and the bacon separately?

Depends how you do it. I've made stuffed burgers with bacon in them where you cook the bacon prior kind of like this,



I really want one of these presses. I've always done it by hand but this would be very convenient.

Anyway, in this case you are squishing the meat down almost flat on a super hot pan so if the bacon is minced and rolled in with the meat evenly it should cook well with the bacon fat adding flavour in the same manner as the marbling in waygu beef.

I guess if you really wanted you could always boil it.

Yes the bacon should be seperate. Baked in the oven. The real discussion is how to use the rendered fat.

You fucking gimps. There's a place called big kahunas that you can get a burger from. One on Coronado island I got a soda from there

Can't usually get 'em myself because my girlfriend's a vegetarian which pretty much makes me a vegetarian. But I do love the taste of a good burger. Mm-mm-mm.

You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?

I'm more of a turkey burger on whole wheat kinda guy. I like to hollow out the bun as much as possible so I can possibly have a second patty shortly after.

I went to France and specifically went to McDonald's for that reason...

It was called Royal Cheese.
Do you think it might be because of the metric system?

Since Liberia, Myanmar (a.k.a. “the country formerly known as Burma”) and the United States of America are the only remaining countries that use a horrible number system with fractions based on the number twelve?

Then why aren't there 12 ounces in a pound? or 12 of anything in a yard?

Isn't 12 inches in a foot pretty much the only time the number 12 appears?
