HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 апр 2019
- Burger Scholar George Motz and Alvin Cailan are going on the ultimate regional burger road trip-which includes a pit stop to eat America's original hamburger. Motz is a veteran road warrior: he’s logged thousands of miles in his car chasing down burgers all over the country. For this episode, Alvin will be Motz’s co-pilot as he takes The Burger Show host to Central Connecticut, home to some of the most unusual burgers on the planet-as well as THE birthplace of the original hamburger, Louis' Lunch.

If you could go on a burger-focused vacation, where would you want to go?
Fucking mars
Every great burger place in L.A.
What a dumb ass question
Australia. They've taken the USA classic and ran with it in a way no other place could. Burgers there are just as much a primary culture as they are in America, but from a completely different evolution.
@@BaneWilliams nah
Why has this strangely focused burger guru become my favorite person on the internet?
He has his own show!
@@TheRealSmithFamily what's it called?
@@TheRealSmithFamily Sauce Needed
Smith Family RUclips pass the sauce my guy
He loves his subject, but doesn't sound fanatical or overly geeky about it. So you get the love and passion without the drawbacks.
This dude looks like a retired wolverine who got addicted to burgers
I could hear him saying "gimme a Big Mac, bub"
Also he looks a lil like a slightly older Johnny Knoxville in disguise
Aren’t we all addicted to burgers though?

You deserve top comment for this
On the money B
It's msg.
I was going to thumbs up this comment but it’s ironic it’s at 555 so I left it.
George: This burger comes from a special place predating the hamburger bun and made with ancient tools that have been preserved for over 200 years.
Alvin: Yo, this burger is da bomb, yo
rekor guy who loves the subject and is knowledgeable and charismatic > guy who’s just doing this for free food
Louis Lassen was the first man to make a Hamburger Sandwich.
They both love the subject, Alvin is hosting "The Burger Show" ffs. Just because the restaurant is old school doesn't mean the host has to act like he's from the same time period. I would argue it's the opposite, he needs to connect to his viewers more than the site he's reviewing.
@J. Professional bet you dont speak to people in real life like this
Gerard Cowan This is one of my favorite comments ever and I’m going to steal it. My only contribution is that Alvin is a professional chef and brings his own charisma to this show he hosts. George has his own thing going on- he IS an author, after all.
These two could really just host the burger show together.
@@killerdude-hz2bb thats a bit mean dude no need for that
killerdude 2000 that’s really not a nice thing to say, but I agree I could do without
he can succeed him when Alvin dies of a heart attack in two weeks
yea alvin's wack and these burgers are fuckin wack. we worked on making burgers better since 1895, and they're all indignant about having shitty slow customer service for gray toast burger nonsense.
And that steamed shit? Fuck no.
Mead Juice I think Alvin is annoying but Jesus Christ that is so rude what is your problem
Can you just have George Motz on all the time!? He is the man!
Stfu
Bitch
he should just replace this host tbh
55% of comments: Concerned for Alvin’s health
45% of comments: George should be the host
I only found 1comment each.
leonard dylan I only see these comment lol
Alvin's Mom has a lot of dupe accounts.
So means once he passes on no problem getting a new host
@@spa7us maybe i dont scroll long enough
Hey George, I'm from North Idaho in a small town called Coeur d'Alene. They have this burger joint that has been continuously running since 1908 I believe. It's called Hudson's Hamburgers. They were in USA today a few years back. They have quite the cult following. Very simple menu, burgers (fresh cut pickle, Vlasic) and slice of onion. NO FRIES! Hot ketchep/mustard if requested. If you ever make it up this way I'd be happy to show you around. Love the channel and keep the grease comin'!!
If you're ever in Pocatello go to Toms Gyros and get the Titanic Burger. It's a double bacon cheeseburger with gyro meat and it's my favorite burger of all time.
i really like the crew trying to hide in the back of the car
I'm one of them!
@@the_keystone_kid great work man
Damn good eye
Darn I just left a comment about this I'm too late
More of this guy.
Actually, just always of this guy.
Mom: hey little timmy what do you wanna be when you grow up?
Timmy: a burger historian
Wolverine’s grandpa needs to his own show
Yep, well away from fat boy. What a bore that man is.
He does; Burger Scholar Sessions
George needs his own show. Such a good host and performer
Under another comment here: ''He has a show on the Travel Channel called BurgerLand'', you may wanna check that out
"You call hamburgers steamed hams?"
"Yes! It's a regional dialect."
"Uh huh. What region?"
"Central Connecticut?"
It's an Albany expression
Simpsons LOL
Really? Because I'm from Central Connecticut and I've never heard the expression 'steamed ham'.
@@lostinlucidity From Albany, NY can confirm.
Sarincrow i see. You call them steamed hams despite they are obviously grilled.
That first burger is literally the burger you make when you're 12 years old and you're cooking for your cousons during summer break.
It's so awesome that the owners/chefs know George and say good things about him....just not on camera.
Shows he's a geniune good dude.
I feel like this is what the show should've been from the start
*BURGER ROAD TRIP*
Joobs yes best episode so far. Well every episode with George has been great.
@@drunkenmasterii3250 they [should] bring George on permanently
George had his own show on the travel channel called Burger Land which was basically this.
videoguy640 what do you mean? They announced that?
@@drunkenmasterii3250 I missed a word. It should have said "they should bring..."
My guy Alvin, I need you to work on your health man. It's all love and coming from a good place! We need you for many years to come!
Yeah man this dude ain't gonna make it to 50
Word. Seem likes FWF could care less too. The last thing this guy needs is more burgers but nope. It's like "here man host a show about eating as many burgers as you want. As long as those views keep coming well keep filming until you drop dead."
Hear hear. Legit a bit anxious for the dude.
@@dh1380 You know I googled "Alvin Cailan" and the first suggestion was "alvin cailan health" 😂😂
KC Shutters honestly he needs to do something now before it gets real bad
I know it's outside the "burger belt" and in an area that doesn't get much attention in general, but Hudson's Hamburgers in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho is for me the best burger I've had. Has some of that same historical feel too - family owned and operated since 1907.
The burger belt is around alvins waist
Ive lived my whole life in central ct. These places hold such a special place in my childhood and can be thanked for all my culinary passions and made me want to be a chef! Motz is the man
That’s the title I want
*BURGER SCHOLAR*
you got about 1000 different burgers to go before you can have that title lmao
My high school guidance councilors failed me. This could have been my life path.
DAMN YOU ALL!!! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!!
well better start hitting the road trying all kinds of different burgers!
He finally got it
My man out here looking like an alternate timeline Johnny Knoxville
Andyesque lmaoooo yoooo
Yea He Looks like an older and healthier version of him
Love George , his passion for history. Can’t synthesis this quality and experience!!
Love watching both of these dudes together, please keep it coming 🤗
No disrespect to Alvin but I’m 100% convinced George should be the host of the burger show. He’s a much better personality/fit for this.
And Alvin probably has 24 hours to live considering his diet of hamburgers.
Cam yea I mean I don’t wanna be cruel about someone’s weight but for sure dude definitely has a problem at this point. I hope he works on it.
He has a show on the Travel Channel called BurgerLand
Matt K I don’t have tv but thanks for the heads up. Maybe I can stream it somewhere.
The two of them would be perfect
I want to be George Motz.
I knew you'd come to see this show
@@A.H-Een Great show. I would love to hang out with these guys one of these days.
Ikr, just drive around and eat good hamburgers all day. And have some wicked facial hair.
Ballistic BBQ you are Sir ❤️ your my West Coast Hamburger Jesus 😇🍔 Love & Aloha Greg Thank You So Much More Burger Vids Please
@@BallisticBBQ you'd blow their mind with your awesome burgers!!!
Absolutely love the burger scholar episodes, I would roll up through the burger belt and back down home to Texas. Keep up the good work, I am always looking forward to the show. Thank you guys for all the hard work.
They need an entire show of only these two. I would watch for sure
So I grew up and still live in Manchester, CT and a big part of my upbringing was going to Shady Glen to celebrate all sorts of occasions. Seeing you guys get to experience them made me so happy! Enjoy and lemme know next time you come back!
B tech Manchester
I love Alvin, but can you get an original show starring George? The man is a god damn walking talking encyclopedia of cool burger knowledge and stuff.
Keep Alvin doing his thing cause I love it, but god damn, more MOTZ!
You probably will when Alvin dies of heart disease in the next few years.
He had one, called BurgerLand in 2012.
Yknow burger scholar sessions has 4 seasons and will prob have a 5th soon
The man is so big that he turned the seat belt into a neck belt.
I would venture to guess he was as high as his seatbelt throughout the video as well 👍
Your old lady is bigger than him
🤣🤣🤣😍😍
I've learned so much in 3 weeks from watching George it's incredible. I've cooked burgers my whole teenage and adult life but now hearing his wisdom I've cooked some if the best burgers i ever have. Thank you. I want to travel the country now eating regional burgers
George is a national treasure. God bless his chops.
Ah yes, the Steamed Ham Program. One of my favorite shows on the “We Eat Before Anything” channel.
I'm from Albany , we say that there
Hosted by steamed hams knowledge man and generic fat dude who always wears black
Having lived in Meriden, CT, and being a burger junkie, I can confirm that all three of these places are amazing. Walking into Louis Lunch is like walking into an ancient temple devoted to the religion of the hamburger. If you are a disciple of the beef patty, you have to make the pilgrimage and pay your respects at some point in your life. Ted's steamed burgers are the juiciest, messiest burgers but they're so good that you will fight to keep it all together just so you don't lose a single morsel. And that melted cheese is glorious. As they noted in this episode, Shady Glen is like a living, breathing time capsule. You'll go for the fried cheese but you'll stay because the burgers, fries, and milkshakes are all incredible.
I need a roadtrip like this. Just toolin' around lovin on burgers.
As a Connecticut native, this episode warms my heart.
River same bro
River big same
Huge same. I grew up just through the woods from Shady Glen. The original owners lived up the street at the top of the hill, my dad used to give one of my brothers or I $20 to just go through the woods, cross the road and grab a gallon of ice cream.
Jon Johnson the ultimate sleeper food, Shady Glen Ice Cream.
So incredibly good it can’t be put into words
Ted’s is awesome. So is Shady Glenn. I think Louis Lunch is the most overrated restaurant ever. I get that it’s a big deal that the burger was invented there, but cheese wiz and wonder bread simply doesn’t make the best burger in the world
I’m just here for the “concerned about Alvin’s health” comments
@kirwi kirwinson not everyone born an asshole like you but yes that might be the point
Bro I saw them and started fucking dying. Love or hate the show, this dude way too huge to be goin around hosting a fuckin burger show lmao
Be honest, he doesn't look healthy. He even admits to his bad eating/drinking habits. And please don't effing say "You can be obese and healthy" and point out the ONE person you know who died skinny. Because guess what? People that obese tend to bite the dust early for a gazillion HEALTH-related reason. Fact. Anyway, you can't help but notice!
Wow, fat shaming much! Its really non of your business how he looks and what he eats. No one, thin, fat or in-between, lives forever. If it bothers you, don’t watch. My apologies if someone died and left you boss .... no one sent me the memo. Have a great day everyone.
@@lucyschnabel8961 shut the hell up with your fat shaming bs. Being fat gets you no where, ONLY has negative health effects, makes everyday things harder, and the list goes on. If it wasnt for fat shaming id still be a fatass miserable with life, but being told i was fat did nothing but help me focus on losing weight. So please, shut up. You want to see people die young and painfully just so they "dont get thew feewings huwt"awww poor fatties
George looks like Johnny Knoxville and Albert Einstein's love child.
I think I'm a Nazi because I am eager so much to correct your grammar
@@snifey7694 go on?
I love listening to this guy talk. After watching the first regional burgers episode I went out and got myself a cast iron skillet and now I just wish I had his book
I like George's reminder to let your local burger shack know what they mean to you. Running and staffing these places seems like tough and thankless work, but burgers are a quintessential part of Americana and although we're all super grateful, we probably don't express that gratitude enough.
Love the Nova Scotia callout at 1:24
Was just about to comment the same!
I love george. His voice and sideburns are just sublime
My friends and I road tripped up from Philly to try out these spots the other day. Shady Glen was definitely the best of the bunch. And we were surprised with how good Louis' Lunch was. Ted's was the weakest of the 3 but still not a bad burger. Thanks for this video for inspiring a burger filled day with friends!
from England, this guy seems like a totally awesome American character, like he should be in Smokey and the Bandit or something
1:21. Poor sound guy squished in the back hiding.
Hi ajay
you know what i need more than a burger? a new video about super supervisors.
Thats so fucked up. Who cares if you can see him? It actually makes it feel more real and gives off a more authentic vibe. Fucking pricks..
Yeah but he probably got one of each of the same they did, which has him smiling and us sucking.
There's someone in the boot (trunk) too at the start
These guys have great chemistry, love the show. Love burgers more
Now I want to go on a burger heaven trip to Connecticut. All the restaurants that were showcased in this episode made me drool a ton.
Alvin you should be afraid. Burger scholar is coming for your spot.
TheDrFunkenstein he had a Show way before Alvin. I think he’s in the works getting his own show. Lord knows he deserves one
As someone born and raised in CT I'm really excited to see this! Also I apologize on behalf of my fellows in CT... We can be jerks. That sign at Louis is there for a reason lol.
I heard Luis Lunch made some flavorless burgers, is that true? Maybe people like them that way amplified by the historical significance. But there is a reviewer on RUclips who went there and said it was bland.
@@kyleeaton2717 It's really about personal tastes but you are there for pure beef flavor. Nothing special can be something special in itself.
@@SmashServices I was just curious because at one point in time, idk if they still are but they were the worst reviewed restaurant in all of Connecticut.
@@kyleeaton2717 I haven't been in so long that between this awesome vid and those reviews it looks like I'm gonna be having a burger weekend to compare!
@@SmashServices Hey, if you do that and remember me, let me know!
Alvin: "Barely any clouds in the sky"
Clouds: Everywhere*
I find this hilarious.
HA my first thought exactly
Why do I torture myself by watching these amazing burgers
I'm a vegetarian due to health concerns. This is how I get through the days sometimes.
@@NokiaSux220 damn, can't believe it's been a year since I commented, hope you're doing well dude
Invest in an iron skillet smash burgers take about the same time as a microwave. If you wanna trip people out make your own buns. Takes about an hour most of it inactive just chill on the couch and watch TV during the rest periods. People act like it's the craziest thing ever and really, the burgers are ten times better even though it's not the crazy effort people think it is.
I love this series! Gorge Motz is my freaking idol after watching these vids.
Warden: _What is your final meal request before execution?_
George Motz on Death Row: _A cheeseburger, fries, and a malted mocha and peanut butter milkshake._
I’m from CT and personally I’d say Shady Glen is by far my favorite out of these 😍 I live about 15 minutes away from Manchester so I go there about once a week. Ted’s is really good too though. It was the first steamed burger I’ve ever had, and I loved it. These were all good choices to visit.
CT here too. My dad brought me to Ted's back in the 90's and it was super memorable.
I've been wanting to go up to Shady Glen for a while. We have friends in Tolland so maybe next time we visit them we'll stop there.
And I've still never gone to Louis Lunch despite living 20 mins from it and going to grad school right there.
I have watched this about 5 times, and enjoy it every time.
OMG. I've driven by Shady Glen in Manchester so many times and never knew what was happening inside. I'm gonna have to get my butt in there
Did you take the time to go and was it worth it?
Motz is like Bojack Horseman, but if you replaced the Alcoholism and existentialism with Burger facts.
the broiled steak burgers my dad used to make at Sylvester's Restaurant back in the '70's were extraordinary. the quality and flavor was something beyond anything available today anywhere.
I see George I click the video. Absolutely love his passion and knowledge.
Louis lunch is such a good spot for burgers. The og burger joint. And I'm so hungry watching this.
If someday there was an Oscar award for best videos about food, it has to go for Frist We Feast. You really take everything to the next level with your awesome videos. One can never be tired of watching your videos.
I've been to Louis Lunch a few times when I was in New Haven last year. If you go, go during the day outside of a rush hour so you can sit and dont go after the bars. The burgers do suffer when they are jammed up but they are good outside of the rushes
The burger scholar is roughly 20 times the host alvin is
Steven Benfan I think so too, but I think him having someone to bounce off from is good too, if it was only him talking alone it would still be great, but I love the conversation format.
He used to have his own burger show too, but it got cancelled awhile back. I forget what channel it was on, but it was pretty good. They should give him another burger show himself.
Steven Benfan he should stick to eggslut
Alvin makes up for it by being 20 times the size
Hey, I've actually been to the Shady Glen before. Cool seeing a place I know on one of these.
This is something everyone can relate to. You can visit so many bars/restaurants within an hour of your home and stumble upon a select few places that you never expected that made you say "HOLY FUCK".
Guys I love these series. I hope the burguer show will take you to the next level and make you both explore the burguer influence and variances worldwide. Obviously after discovering all US has in the menu 👍. Cheers from Mtl, Qc.
Alvin's Health
George should host
Think I covered the feel of this comment section.
And Simpsons quotes
Alvin's health
George should host more
People commenting how the comment section is mostly about Alvin's health and how George should host more
Think I covered the feel of this comment section
I'd love to try it but I can't imagine I'd pick a steamed burger over a flattop cooked one on a regular basis. I could be wrong, never tried one, and it might blow me away with it's flavor, but there's something so great about a good crust on a burger.
JosephJamesScott believe me, Ted’s has a phenomenal burger. I wasn’t sure how it would be when I first tried it. But wow. It’s very different. If you really like burgers, you like a variety and it’s very different and it’s very good. Honestly one of the best burgers I’ve ever had
Ted's has a terrible burger. Worst I've ever had. McDonald's is better.
Ted’s has a mediocre burger very middle of the road. I’ve never been but I thought I would just make the opinions in this comment thread go full circle
Ted's has a burger. Most definitely.
One of the burgers of all time
im in love. 3 totally bad ass original burgers, not mad to be whacky and different for a high profile chefs menu, but just through decades of evolution. and the host is brilliant.
Much love from Romania for you guys, you make the perfect burger couple!
Does anyone else think gorge looks just like Johnny Knoxville? Even sounds like em a little!
I can 't unsee that now
I was going to post it, but apparently I would be like 10th in doing so.
Not even close
Knoxville's dad
Oh for sure
Damn Love this show and want to grab a burger with these dudes!!!!!
Can we just have these two in this show for more episodes? It's alwayd a delight to have them.
Plus special guest chefs too. I love learning new ways to prepare burgers.
Or maybe some day episodes on really good hamburger toppings. Like, I make thai peanut and fajita veggie burgers.
I'm from Australia, been a hot one's fan for ages but only recently started watching heaps of the burger show, it's really got me wanting to do a burger tour of america, maybe east to west and going down the belt in the middle. I mentioned it to a few friends and they want in too so am really looking forward to hopefully doing that ahah.
I miss Motz's tv burger show. Heard he may have something else in the works. Praying it comes SOOOOOON! Another great burger ep, guys!
It came to New York! At a reasonable price
@@johnanderson3731 It's about a 5 min. walk from my job. I love it! 👍
Truly an unforgettable luncheon!
I love how George is amused by Alvin's wit. It is awesome to watch these two scholars discuss passionately about burgers.
As a Native Nutmegger, getting to know the rich burger history in my state is something very special to me. Thank you George, Alvin, and First We Feast!
“It’s like a gooey Cheez-it in a very cheesy burger.” SOLD
“It’s very horizontal like a cheeseburger” my guy what does that mean 😂
You ever seen a vertical burger?
He means the color of the walls and decor is layered Horizontally. A band of brown that rings the place, and yellow wallpaper.
@@michaelhall5429 well they cooked them vertically at Louis' Lunch, does that count?
This should be a local annual crawl tour. What an amazing diversity of preparations.
I love them drinking Foxon park soda at louies lunch too, it’s a staple of going there or to any pizza place on the shoreline
I've only been to shady glen and it was pretty damn delicious
I dream of wearing buns and being studied by George.
You are Gene Belcher.
I'll be heading to New England this summer, and these three spots are on my "must go to" list. I absolutely adore Louis', Ted's and Shady Glen, they all serve phenomenal hamburgs. Sadly, Shady Glen's Manchester Parkade store closed. This news broke my heart and thankfully, their original location lives on.
i live in connecticut... and shady glen is like nothing else. the cole slaw. the ice cream. and of course the burgers. amazing. very grateful.
I grew up in Connecticut going to all three of these places as a kid- I’m so happy you went to shady glen!!!! That was my absolute favorite growing up and really made you feel like you were back in time. I honestly forgot about it until hearing it in this video again- Thank you!
I live in Farmington and have been to all three places. They're all really great.
keefriff99 hah that’s where I grew up too
I have the utmost respect for anyone that can eat while in the presence of someone that looks like Alvin
Motz is always a pleasure to watch!
I grew up in Manchester, CT, home of Shady Glen and was basically raised on their fried cheese and ice cream. Always order a side of cheese separately as a snack. Good find fellas.
"Where my steam ham army at?"
Aurora Borealis
AURORA BOREALIS?
Im actually from Albany, NY. Steamed hams are my lifeblood!
Despite the fact that they're obviously grilled?
May i see it?
no
Her: "So what do you do for a living?"
Me: "Im kind of a burger historian"
I remember side burns from a tv show back in the day all about burgers....youre a legend sir
Absolutley amazing! Such an inspiration to chefs of all ages , and even the humble home cook. Keep it up guys , loving every episode!
P.S I wanna meet Motz so badly , he seems like he'd be a funny dude to smoke bud with
The burger guru needs to join the show full time !!! I must learn all his secrets lol master
My mans Alvin was feelin that burger fatigue with that last one
Metabolic syndrome taking place before our eyes 🍞🍔🍟
Yes.. a sequel! make this a series please..
His voice dude, I could listen to George talk aboot burgers all day long. 😋
