    My video style is heavily inspired by Asian vlog channels I admire, such as Zoe, haegreendal, HidaMari Cooking, EMOJOIE Cuisine, Nino's Home, Cooking Tree, Wife's Cuisine, and more. Please check them out!
    I don't really have a recipe for this video since I usually make burgers by eye and feel. If you're looking for one, Babish and Guga Foods have some great burger recipes that work really well.

    The third song used in this video at 4:34 (Echo of A Rose - City Girl) is one of the warmest, most nostalgic pieces of music I've listened to in a long time. All of City Girl's songs are wonderful, but this track in particular brought forth a wave of memories and feelings I haven't had in a while.

    i came across your channel by a friend sending your 150 hour cake video today, and now im completely hooked.
    your channel is hands down the best cooking channel i have ever seen. not only do you show people how to have patience when making good food,
    you also make it a point to make the actual video pleasant to watch. your editing style, your camera work, the music you use, even how you tweak the volume of your video during parts where you use loud machinery (thank you for that btw)
    it's just.. such a warm and cozy feeling, watching these videos. please never stop.

    Truly an amazing video. Your narrative, even in the format of subtitles, is so real. I think many people feel the same way and have a hard time reconnecting with old friends, so it is always nice to have an excuse to do something nice for them or even just spend time with them. Those burgers look amazing, thank you for posting such real and sincere content friend.

I truly admire your videos therefore I want to give you a small tip about cooking burgers. Seasoning the pattie before frying on both sides increases its flavors significantly. I really REALLY love your videos and attitude towards your friends and I hope you will continue making content and your hands down THE BEST RUclipsr for peaceful and joyful cooking for me.....

    We don't deserve him. I want to be Alvin's friend so badly... He just seems like such a genuinely nice guy.

      Just don’t use him for food. Treat him good. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

      He seems like a lonely guy. 🤐No time for friends/ family when you’re specializing in the longest way possible to make food. I’m here from the 100 hour lasagna. It was the most ridiculous, sexy and over-exaggerated video making of a lasagna I’ll ever experience in my lifetime. I’m not mad at it either

      He serves his burgers cold, and he put so much passion in his work, all the juices dripping in the shield, what is he?😂
