He's 100% spot on, IMO. Proportion is critical. I loved his no-nonsense approach. RIP, chef. You were the best.
mayo is optional
@@tonysexymasseuse3775 Big Mac sauce, secret sauce , burger sauce, whatever u call it, where ever it’s from, its got Mayo in it. Like the man said it’s bout ratio, it’s bout proportion.
The problem is that ratio and proportion is subjective. People enjoy things differently.... the perfect burger is different for each person....
Annoying when you have 3 bites of bun left at the end with some onions and mayonnaise.
No, he is dead wrong.
BURGERS MUST HAVE BACON 🥓
Full stop.
Out of all the famous people that are no longer with us. I miss this dude the most.
I completely agree with you the voice and that rock I don't care attitude. He is a legend!!
by far.

100% agree
This was the deepest conversation I’ve had with myself.
That's why I'm a Mod, see? I mean, you gotta be somebody, ain't ya, or you might as well jump in the sea and drown
Didn’t think it was possible to be this articulate and scientific about the structure of a hamburger
"There's a tectonic slide that occurs when you start to over complicate and add other products"
This is SO Anthony Bourdain. For things like this, he'll ALWAYS be missed IMO.
RIP my friend :(
For something as simple and basic as a burger, only Anthony Bourdain could break it down into a thesis where he transforms common food into poetry.
The world misses you so much. RIP
Finding this through the algorithm is like Anthony was sent back for a fleeting few minutes from the great beyond to share the good word about good burgers. RIP
The Burger Gospel
Anthony Boursin once visited my school to talk about his book back when I was in the 3rd grade, I'm now going to be in the tenth grade. He made up a cool little story right there instantly. He told us how easy it is to write a book.
Rest in peace my good sir.
This man was a hero to me. I discovered him when KC was first published. And fell in love w/ his story telling. When he went into the TV travel shows, I think he became one of America's great ambassadors, showing people of other nations that, yeah, maybe we can respect their culture and traditions.
I hope Anthony Bourdain was not murdered because of grfndr
"In a perfect World, you should be able to eat a burger with one hand," I feel the sentiment was shared by Jim Delligatti in '67. Bread is the crucial foundation. Dwight Schrute almost quit Dunder Mifflin, saying "Bread is the paper of the food industry. You write your sandwich on it." I agree with all critiques of unnecessarily tall burgers. Architecture is especially tricky when you're supposed to eat the damn thing.
damn. well said
Meat to bread ratio and the burger holding together! Statement is on point !
There is something so honest and straight forward about Bourdain. He is a great loss
And passionate about food and what it means to us as human beings. I think that's where the honesty and straightforwardness comes from.
The perfection hides in a well thought out combination of condiments and toppings, keeping 'will this improve it?' in mind as indeed the golden rule. The options are however so vast and tasty that the classic burger should be approached as a blank canvas instead of a finished painting.
Bourdain was so non-pretentious and non-judgemental. Really a class act chef who knew his stuff. RIP to a legend
Wow, he summed up exactly how I feel about how a burger should be (and I've never been able to put it this way). My friends are amused at my Big Mac Ritual where I re-organize the burger before eating it, trim the square cheese to match the round patty and bun. The bun to burger ratio is super important to me where I know exactly which buns to buy to match the burgers. Magnificent summary
I'm sad he's gone :(
I don’t think that is what he meant
dayuum thats how you break down a burger
I hate it when someone gives me a 9inch high burger..how do i eat this?
looks like we went straight from ass to mouth here
Concur. If the bleeping thing requires jaw dislocation to eat, I assume that the cook is of a species far removed from me.
Jeff Shaffer Sa mi. Ta

Jeff Shaffer you can take 9 inches
Jeff Shaffer it's called the ol squish-a-roo
Coming back to this after a while... Damn he nailed what a burger is all about. RIP
*angrily removes avocado and pineapple from burger*
whoever put avocado in your burger should burn
Mehdy Bueno Up yours! Avocado on burgers are fire...with grilled onions! 😋
eat them on the side
MsRose00 absolutely. I mean I like a standard topping burger but guacamole on a burger is next level delicious. Unless u happen to be allergic to avos or are one of those adults that is still adverse to mushy textures in foods no one in their right mind would think avocado in a burger doesn’t taste great.
You can use avocado to substitute for mayo. And pineapple burgers are delicious. The pineapple acts just like onions in that it adds sweetness and juiciness to the burger.
is anyone else on an Anthony Bourdain binge?
I feel like Anthony just explained the meaning of life.
The world is a lesser place without this great sage. ❤
Love and miss this guy. I loved to hear him talk
This is the deepest video I'll ever probably see in my lifetime. Really got me thinking.
Tony omitted something in this video which he told me in 1999. And my burgers have never been better since:
"Don't mash the shit out of quality ground beef while shaping the burger. You'll end up with a compact nasty meatloaf kinda thing. Loosely, gently press it just enough to hold together; it should fall apart in your mouth when you bite it. And, as always, never ever cook the shit out of it."
That's excellent advice to which I would add don't smash it down on the grill with your spatula when cooking it like they do at Fuddruckers. It squeezes all the juice out of it and makes it dry and tough and tasteless like the burgers are at Fuddruckers.
The perfect burger, IMO, is one where you don't need *any* add-ons except maybe cheese. In college, I frequented a bar that served just such a burger. They refused to serve condiments with it. It was amazing, plain with cheese.
Were they religious fanatics, or just cheap??

This guy was a legend. What a breakdown. He was too good for us peasants . May his family and friends find peace
He nails it - "In-N-Out" does it exactly right. No more complicated than that.
mdonalds is better than In-N-Out, and I work at In-N-Out
I miss In-n-Out too, but I love being closer to 5 Guys. Beats a Double Double Animal Style without even trying.
FoodforThought youre dumb.
I honestly love in n out. Best burger; HOWEVER, I am not ignorant. It is a burger because of the spread, lettuce, etc
Allan Bloom If you like mediocre burgers, sure.
I love burgers and he is spot on. There’s so many crazy burgers with crazy ingredients added. Those type of burgers are only good for a picture to post it on Instagram but ideally are not good to eat. Nothing can beat a regular burger with quality ingredients
I love you Tony. Simple but elegant wisdom
I agree 100%. A good burger shouldn’t be difficult to eat. I hate seeing these two feet stacked high hamburgers. They may serve the creator’s ego, but doesn’t help my dining experience. As with pizza, a few quality ingredients well prepared is better than a bunch of crap thrown together.
Agreed. Personally, I find that when you put too in too many ingredients, like too many toppings on a pizza, they tend to mask each others' particular flavor, so the point of adding any one ingredient gets lost.
You can actually make a pretty good burger if you look at how the classic fast food burgers are put together-- particularly the ratio of ingredients and how they are stacked within the buns. I did this with a whopper and a mcdonalds double cheeseburger and both times it tasted great.
Also explains his fondness for In-n-Out.
Great take on a classic bite - RIP brother
I COULD NOT AGREE MORE! So nice yo hear someone say it.
Rip legend !
Miss you...🖤✨🙏
Beautifully said
This is so cool, thanks algorithm - The burger monologue makes me wish I could've met him and just say "Finally... someone said it, Thank You!" I'm sure would've been a hell of a cool guy to hang out with.
I was skeptical but he is right about this. I find I don't enjoy a burger I have to fight to keep off my shirt!! I could argue about ketchup or Mayo. Some like mustard, Who Am I to say they are wrong. I like a thin slice of tomato, onion, and Lettuce. But I still want to eat it all and taste the meat!!
He talks a lot of truth.
“a tectonic slide”. Perfectly put.
Tony was so deep and thoughtful. Intelligent, well read, and a great writer and presenter. Miss him.
"Am I making this more enjoyable by adding bacon?" Yes, yes you are..
Always yes. Always.
Adding bacon to a diver's Oxygen tank? Or a surgeon adding bacon to an appendix removal? Then wut? =O
in my opinion its actually on roughly the same level as garlic ice cream id rather have vanilla or none at all ahaha nearly vomited last time i had maple bacon ice cream i swear
I was just about to comment the same thing, word for word! :P
holymolie and a fried egg
I do like the flavors of multiple items, lettuce onions, pickles, cheese, etc. But hate it when it's hard to hold the damn thing. I get his point & often thought the same thing in that the burgher was innovated in the first place for convince in consuming beef yet becomes inconvenient when you add too much to it.
Gonna miss this guy. Cooking will never be the same without you. Rip Chef.
Tectonic slide- I fucking love it.
The best way to add lettuce IMHO is to chop it up and blend it with the dressing (mayo) to make something resembling cole-slaw. Then pieces of lettuce might fall off but it the burger patty will not slide off it as easily as off a bare lettuce leaf.
Also, if you are going to have some veg on top of the burger, place it there while the cheese is still soft.
No.
He absolutely nailed how I feel about a burger. When it meets those standards, I am happy. Simple. No need to be cute. All ingredients available in a single comfortable bite.
I miss you chef. RIP. Great advice as usual
My two favourite things on a burger or on and about a burger rather that is too often missing is first a proper toasted bun I hate those soft fall apart shit buns you sometimes get, and second is a nice dressing the best one for me is super easy to make you need mayo and a really strong and sweet mustard that's it, mix the two to your own liking and spread it on your properly toasted bun next time making burgers you will not regret it! :)
This guy should be President
Not racist enough.
Not a Muslim.
Tec 9 : what a stupid comment.
mikedoesseo : so you disagree with me and think that someone needs to be a racist and/or a Muslim to be president? Thats doesn't even make sense.
Tommy Nico we already had a junkie president with bush jr.
I really enjoyed his shows, RIP Mr. Bourdain.
So missing him already. I re-read A Cook's Tour and tried to still picture him as still alive and not in the past tense - because he always whet your appetite for more. The man knew the his shit for sure.
"the way god intended to hold it together" lol
Damn man why did you do it, you where loved by so many. R.I.P hope you find peace in your next life.
Bun, cheese, meat, cheese, bun. Literally perfect structural integrity. If you want condiments add them to the bottom cheese layer, and if you want added topping, put them on the top cheese layer but be sure to dice them up. A full leaf of lettuce isn't as good as shredded lettuce.
Thank you! In the US it's always about bigger bigger food, I hate a sandwich or burger so big I can't pick it up without making a mess.
Also about novelty - "Ooh, this is different!" And it gets forgotten that the true beauty of a burger is its basic ingredients, which are simple.
So much ‘New York’ in one man! 😍😂 miss him! Such a legend
Looking for burger advice and came across this. RIP
I like my burgers with vegetables on the side. Also mayo on the bottom bun, ketchup and mustard on the top bun.
The mayo should be next to the lettuce and tomatoes and the ketchup and mustard should be next to the meat, however you decide to build it. A common trick/technique is to pile the lettuce and tomatoes on the bottom and put the pattie on top - makes it visually different and taller but sometimes harder to eat - but the mayo/veg ketchup/ meat is key
Spot On! My thoughts exactly 😁
RIP Sir Anthony. Your burger analysis is spot on 🎯🍔
considering how he feels for Guy Fieri it extremely makes me happy that there's a picture of guy in this video with Burgers LOL
You can't take someone like Guy Fieri seriously.. He doesn't eat eggs. He's a big kid.
Nickhead87 yeah that is when they are just searching for a reason. He have more than 5 shows currently on air I think Guy is doing perfectly fine without this idiot's help. They just search for something to be miserable about.
Rest in piece Anthony
Piece
My childhood burger was my mom frying our home grown beef with a thick slice of velveeta. Two of those and i was in heaven. 45 years later and i can still taste them!!!!
great video!
PREEEAACCH. i fucken hate burgers you can't actually take a bite of.
If you need cutlery to eat the burger, you're doing it wrong :-)
It's like George Costanza eating a Snickers with cutlery.
What do YOU use...your _fingers?_
What do you use...your cutlery?
What do you use...your chopsticks?
Cutlery
Well explained. I'm guilty of the over load, gonna scale back.. Thanks
Makes so much sense
This is the most scientific description of a fast food snack ever.
Classic, simple dishes are very specific and leave no room for error - they will make or break you - it's all about technique and ingredients
is that guy fieri's beard hidden in there with the triple stacked burger? lmao
thank you!
U r in heaven anthony b.such a great cook
Finally somebody expression my exact opinion on burgers.
trefod Pineapple is good as long as the meat has teriyaki sauce on it.
RIP.
XxXKillaBoi great another RIP comment
whats wrong with me paying respects to the dead?
Man,Im loving thos guys idea,that is exactly how I like my burgers.
I agree 100%. Nice soft bun toasted, good ground beef either fried or cooked over a charcoal grill, melted American cheese, onion, tomato lettuce and your preferred spread. And yes, it should be easy to eat. In-N-Out to me makes a perfect burger. Keep it simple and fresh.
Indeed, and he loved In-n-Out.
Why does it look like Anthony Bourdain has aged ten years since 2014?
My bet is sun and alcohol.
And the fact that documentaries and TV-shows have more flattering lighting than this video
Yeah it looks like he got a bad burn or something, and he is certainly a boozer (or at least he represents himself to be). I'm skeptical about the lighting being a factor though, he looks just as leathery in the new season of Parts Unknown.
Some people actually look worse when they have lost a little weight. They have got some wrinkles when they have lost some puffiness in the face. Penn Jillette is a one example.
BTW, Anthony Bourdain is also a smoker.
Excessive cocaine and alcohol abuse will do that to you, has a sense of catching up on you as you get older
He's recently divorced, 60 and has sold his soul to the devil and admits it. He's the man but fame and fortune will change even him.
I think McDonald's has the perfect structure and ratio for a burger, however their ingredients are awful. I mean look at it this way, McDonald is a huge franchise and they've probably spent billions on research on the best way to structure a burger, so it's not a crazy thought.
I've always hated restaurants that make their burgers where either the patty is too big height wise or when they have in-house buns where it's more than can fit in your hand.
You are very correct on that. The equipment that McDonalds uses perfectly portions out the ingredients on the burger.
A Big Mac is a masterpiece.
Lemons Whenever McDonalds release a big sized special edition burger, it falls apart in my hands as well.
Manseb You should be ashamed of yourself.
Lemons Fast food burgers are not proper burgers!!! Omg!!! What cave do you people live in? A giant bun, a thin piece of meat, processed cheese? Wow. I feel sorry for you all.
i just like to hear him talk. rest in paradise old pal
Exactly. Keeping it simple is the best recipe.
“Am I making this better by adding bacon?”
The answer to that is always yes
perfect way to incorporate bacon in a burger is to mix it in with the ground beef. it's hella tasty.
Doesn't that risk making the patty overly salty?
nope. not from what i can tell. if it helps when i season it i dont add extra salt or i put very little.
agreed. never been a fan of just 2 strips of bacon on top. especially because most places don't cook bacon well. it ends up not being crispy enough. it ends up just being a weird texture and rubbery. I don't understand the obsession about it
Thanks for everything Bourdain. You will be missed.
Perfect spot on analysis by the legend ! The best burger is a simple one
Anthony is the shit.
He died recently.
Jimmy Tran yeah so horrible I still cannot believe it, Anthony had so much going on for him
Melissa Onorati He has lots of money, but a relationship could bring him down. Why?
Was*
He's racist and shit lol
iConcur.
What a perfect show ! In honor of a great man, I just did a portrait painting of him....😍😍😍
RIP Anthony Bourdain. Thanks for giving us your aspects on what it takes to make really good food, all while getting us out of the box to experience foods and flavors from other parts of the world. So for that, we say, well done and be at peace for eternity.
So far as I'm concerned a good burger just needs cheese
None of the other crap
Nice, toasted buns, good beef, nice melted cheese
Damn. I didn't know people took burgers so seriously.
Too Seriously.
jed52 from a professional point of view, when you have a restaurant, basicly you sell a certain kind of pleasure, And this have to be almost perfect in order to make money, that's why food gets really fucking serious when there's bussiness in between. I'm a cooker, and where I work we sell a cut of meat wich takes 24 hours of preparations And Shit, but The moment you taste it you transport to other world.
Oh man thats nice !! nice dedication to the food.
whats that "meat" is called in ur menu ?
Juarez M. smoked texan brisket, it's really good
i am already salivating
Couldn't agree more. That's why i love the Oklahoma onion burger. I make it often, Anthony.
The world cooking scene misses a gem in that man anthony bourdain. Always true and genuine. RIP Sir
no not maybe fuck yea to bacon!!!!
You are a tyrant. and should be stopped. lol
Awww, c'mon now, Chef! You KNOW that raw burger NEEDS some finely-diced onion and a few sprinkles of 'real bacon bits' (pre-cooked of course) in that patty! Wanna' a 'secret that ain't a secret' for a 'killer burger? I got one! IT'S THE BUN! Mix one-half 'Powdered Ranch Dressing w/one-quarter fresh-ground salt, & one-quarter fresh black-pepper, mix well, and put in a 'shaker'....sprinkle both halves of the bun, and place both halves on the 'flat' grill...(adding a little clarified-butter to the flat first) and then LIGHTLY toast the bun until bun-edges are getting 'browned...then assemble the burger.People go ape-shit for these burgers! (do NOT 'put a layer' on the buns...just enough so you see it's 'sprinkled' and no more, or they will have a 'bitter' taste from the Ranch mix!) This sounds a lot more complex than it is...it actually takes only seconds to'prep' the bun-halves...and the shaker-mix has excellent shelf-life.(this mix is great for 'fresh-made' chips from a mandolin...I discovered over time that by 'scrubbing' the potatoes first before slicing (LEAVE THE PEAL ON!) the flavor is greatly enhanced for 'chips' and the sliced-chips have a MUCH longer 'bucket-life' than 'peeled' ones do...the 'rind-on' chips have a much better flavor and texture from the fryer...sprinkle them with the 'Mix' shaker while still hot...and people will order MORE because they taste so good w/a burger! (this works even better with 'Texas Toast' style buns)
Preach it, brother!
Nice tips
....when you overthink a hamburger.
