I came across this series of videos relatively recently. The funniest part about seeing the old pre-covid videos, other than Harry with bleach blonde hair, is how much the people in the comments hated Joe prior to teaming up with Harry. I get it. Chemistry matters. These two have it.
The trick for those "messy" burgers is to take the wrapping off, and eat it over your fries/onion rings/etc to then use them to recover the lost goodness.
new series idea for the future, you already have your Main host in Harry and Joe, Maybe do an international Food Tours where you go around the world and add a third native host to guide thru the tours like you guys did with food wars
I think the series should pivot to find the most reliable and trustworthy drug cartels. Edit: And what is most surprising is the skinny American telling the fat brit to pace himself.
Joe and Harry are great in videos like this because Joe is quite brash, outspoken, sarcastic and funny whilst also being fairly erudite, whilst Harry is reserved, matter of fact, dry-witted and also erudite and well-spoken.
the reason why goldburger’s smash patties are still juicy is because allen specifically smashes his patties heavier on the outside but not as much in the center mound, in order to keep more of a medium rare/medium inside but the lacy edges on the skirt
Basically a bunch of underpaid grad students sit in greenhouses for days pollinating berry flowers and later collecting the fruit, cleaning it, and sowing the seeds. They grow the new berry hybrids, test them for many years for disease resistance, adapability, fruit taste, fruit perishability, and nutrition. There is actually a hybrid called the 'Marion Berry" which reminds people of the former DC Mayor Marion Barry and so it is sometimes served with loads of powdered sugar in his honor.
With reference to the leaves in the final burger eaten, in Italian it's "arugula", which is often shortened to "rucola". The French call it "roquette" which the English refer to as "rocket".
here in the netherlands we call it "rucola",, never heard anyone refer to it as "arugula" in dutch but the name "roquette" or "raketsla" (dutch for "rocket lettuce") is also used sometimes "rucola" is also the italian word for "rocket" by the by, so it's quite likely our translation came from the italian, i make this assumption because in dutch we tend use a lot of original italian words for their products i guess as a small country that is built on trade, we're just a bit more international thinking, also in mainland europe you have a lot more languages across a relatively small distance, so i guess it's just the nature of things with the lay of the land, right ? it was already called rocket before the french influence, they did not make up the rocket part, italians did. the fact that english is often badly pronounced french, is not specific/limited to the herb, nor the word rocket, so it doesn't really prove much. yeah anglos got it from the french, but they got that outisde of this context too evidenced by the fact that the word for a rocket is also "rocket" in english :D (dutch has a lot of french too though lol)
It’s rumored that the Father’s Office Burger was based on the elements ( meat, onions, cheese, bread) and flavor profiles of French Onion Soup ( sans the liquid soup). The meat is dry-aged beef, the caramelized onions are embellished with bacon ( bacon-onion jam), the cheese used are Gruyere ( like in French onion soup) + Maytag blue, the bread is a French roll and arugula replaced the usual iceberg or romaine lettuce. I’ve had that burger several times and I can’t get enough of it 👌!
@@stub3945if you have quality meat, that is absolutely not a concern. There’s a reason tartare exists and doesn’t make people ill. However, if you buy cheap supermarket ground beef who’s provenance is unclear, then it is good practice to cook that burger to well done, ideally in smash burger form to keep maximum flavor.
Hilariously Joe not realising we can and do actually grow boysenberries in the UK....I had a beer with boysenberries yesterday from a Scottish brewery 🤣
LA native here - Pie’n’burger is SUPER overpriced. A double cheeseburger with fries and a drink is dam near $25 (plus tax/tip because you can’t do takeout). The burger is very solid, but I’m truly puzzled how anyone would get this instead of In N Out for a third of the price. The pie is again solid but nothing spectacular. Really overrated place. On the other hand, Father’s Office burger AND their fries are the real deal. Personal shout out to the burger at Everson Royce Bar - one of my favorites in LA, very underrated and not talked about enough. And lastly, in my opinion, best smash burger in LA at the moment is For The Win
That Father's Burger won it for me not because I've had it, but I am a sucker for a quality steak-type burger on an open flame. NTM all the unique toppings helloooooooyes ! That jammy onion concoction ladled on heavy, the arugula piled on, those 2 fist-fuls of tangy cheeses.... but another 'had me' is the roll. It resembles a bolillo Mexican created torpedo style roll which when lightly toasted, are truly a work of culinary art. FANTASTIC VIDEO AND COMPARISON AS ALWAYS ! I love the two of you together - great comradery and chemistry make best friends forever !!! CHEERS DEARS !!!
Ok, YES! I don't live too far from L.A. so my best friend and I are definitely gonna check out the burger at Father's Office. Gruyere cheese is my favorite cheese so I can't wait to try it on their burger. Great job, guys! 😃
I'm 65. I grew up in Lakewood, down just to the North of Long Beach. When I was a boy, if I was good, my mom took me to one of two places which are essentially *THE* burger, in Los Angeles. One of them was a place called Russell's, which was in Bixby Knolls, a neighborhood in Long Beach, while the other was our local Bob's Big Boy. Bob's of course is iconic, and the oldest version of the restaurant still in existence is still going strong in the Toluca Lake neighborhood of Burbank. The Beatles visited when they were in LA in the early 60s, and Robert DeNiro, Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore recruited their wheelman for their bank heist in the movie "Heat" in one of the booths. The restaurant building is iconic as one of the earliest examples of googie architecture in the city, and it has the iconic statue of Bob with his burger out front. Dr. Evil travelled into outer space in a larger version of the statue in one of the Austin Powers movies. The burger hasn't change since I was a boy. The original owner famously invented the "double-deck" burger, with a bun split in three pieces, the middle section going between two burger patties. They also top the burger with an unusual red relish, unique to the restaurant, and (to my mind) very tasty. Russell's was owned by a guy named Russell Hearn. He ran the place during the depression, closed it when he couldn't get beef during WW2, reopened after the war, and was still (I think) working there when I was a kid. It was famous with me for having these bossy waitresses who wouldn't let you order a slice of pie unless you finished your burger, though you could box up your leftovers to go home. Eventually the restaurant branched out into a chain, and at one point there were 4-5 restaurants around the Long Beach area, and one in Pasadena, but only the Pasadena one survives. When I got married and moved with my wife to Glendale, Debbie took me to Pie 'N Burger. I looked around the place and said to my wife that this place reminded me a *lot* of the old Russell's from when I was a boy. When I repeated this to the waitress, she told me that the original owner, the founder, had actually worked at Russell's first, then moved across town to open his own restaurant, and just copied everything Mr. Hearn did. You guys got fries with your burgers, a natural mistake though a big one. When the original Russell's was in business, Mr. Hearn didn't have a deep fryer. If you wanted potatoes with your burger, you got hash browns, with a slice of cheese melted on top along with raw onions.
In Atlanta we’re paying over $11 for any burger combo in any fast food restaurant so $16 for that beautiful smash burger, fries and drink bottle drink that’s amazing
Indeed they do. My understanding is that the "smash burger" is a Central Illinois innovation, and Steak 'N Shake is definitely from there. Obviously anybody can successfully smash a burger, and they are ubiquitous in Illinois and Indiana, but this place seems to have it all figured out
This episode partially inspired me to take our own burger tour when my wife and I went to LA over the summer. We did: -Father's Office -Goldburger -Amboy (Alvin Cailan's restaurant) -The OG Tommy's location on Beverly & Rampart -The Apple Pan Goldburger was our favorite, but the whole trip was a truly amazing experience.
The US beef is all grass fed corn finished. At the end they give them a bunch of corn to fatten them up but also because it give the beef a butter slightly sweet note. But they still eat like 95% grass.
In fairness, the produce quality in California can be insanely high. I'm not as familiar with the UK, but at least in central Europe the produce is a lot more anemic.
@@InterYamah see, this is the misunderstanding of the American culinary scene. Cheap, mass-produced stuff, sure. But that's the floor. The quality ceiling is quite high. I remember vividly back in university driving by pastures of free range cows that would end up on my plate, and I can assure you, they had no preservatives. Just about anything you want, you can buy high quality food - but you'll pay for it. Compared to where I am in central Europe now, some of that stuff just isn't to be had, period.
I love these episodes. Wish they could revisit them with a hidden camera just to check the quality was not down to "prime time video". These guys rock.
But if I don't cheese on my burger, I should be able to get it that way. Have your fancy special burger for those who want it, but people who don't like cheese or have an allergy should be able to get one plain.
@ you can change how you want your burger at the Culver City location. Stop assuming that everyone is poor, has terrible taste in food, or has a food allergy like you, cupcake
Ok now I see why Joe was in LA. He was on our flight home from LA to Chicago. My husband spotted him. Welp now we know where to go for some good eats when we go back to LA next year for our 1yr anniversary.
The biggest difference apart from the great taste of course, is that visually, they at least actually look like the pictures that advertise them, unlike the fast food chains, like McDonalds etc
What they didn’t mention is that the owner of Oinkster retired and his son took over. His son is also the owner of Burgerlords so now both restaurants have a little crossover.
The British English rocket for arugula is adapted from the French “rocquette ». We tend to get food terms from French, hence courgette rather than the Italian zucchini.
great episode, but there are 2 places you didn't show on here that are iconic for the LA burger scene, Original Tommy's for the chili burger, and the Applepan with their hickory burger.
@@six8rydr2001 Apple Pan is very overrated. HiHo is in Santa Monica. It's good, but be prepared to have an extra charge on your bill to pay for their employees' healthcare. Because that apparently is your responsibility.
Fathers office is the best one, just unique taste n worth trying. Goldburger is def something that u can get all the time and their patty melt is sooo good
Everyone should try Tommy’s, if only once. It’s like a beautiful girl who doesn’t have good features but when you put all of them together, voila, she’s beautiful. It all works! The meat looks questionable so eat without looking at it. It is heavily buried under chili so you really don’t see much of it. Oodles of diced onions, tomatoes and chili come together and the taste is wonderful. You will want to return soon because the taste lingers in your memory for a long while! Do try it at least once!!!
I would love longer length Food Tours if Harry and Joe could handle just a few more locations. These four burger spots are only scratching the surface of what LA has to offer.
: : just started watching these videos on a regular basis because of the interactions between Harry & Joe. They are both equally nerdy (opps .. I mean “passionate”) about food, both laugh at their own jokes & bounce off each other beautifully. Informative & entertaining. : ) Great content. : :
Although “smash burgers” are kind of a new thing in the UK, I feel like our burgers have traditionally been larger, thinner patties. It’s only in the last 25 years or so where burgers have become more common on the menus of gourmet restaurants that the thicker, stacked burgers have become the norm.
Can't get enough of these videos, always excellent, 10/10. Love the ones in England but the USA ones are quality too. Two guys spot on personalities, play off each other perfectly. More entertaining vids please and keep up the outstanding work 👍👍👍👍👍
how long did you guys have to wait for the fancy burger in the last place that it went from bright day outside to it being dark and the street lights turning on?
“Please pace yourself” orders a slice of pie and ice cream after the first burger.
"I've learnt my lesson"
...4 hours later...
"I'm so full"
😂😂😂
that's not a burger, that's a salad with some meat in it, didn't even toast the buns
Sounds like pacing yourself to me
Fresh Peach and back in the day Olallieberry pies at Pie N Burger are the best, can’t have just one slice
I’m so happy to see new Food Tours videos… long live this series and Harry & Joe’s bromance.
They get to show each other "This is how we live, come and see how delicious it is."
Bromance, yes! The annoyance works so well, in terms of entertainment. 😉
Well they had to make up for the travesty that was the last episode. It was dire

yeah, they're such a contrast!
What you described for joe is called "charisma". Harry has none of it and im not seeing any wit unless you mean its so dry its desiccated.
Joe is like what I think the average like midwestern true American is like and Harry is what I imagine the average southern Englishman is like.
“Well-spoken”? He was amazed at the word “pedigree”.
Food tours fills the hole buzzfeed worth it left behind and I just think that’s beautiful
The memories are coming together, oinkster with the sandwich episode, pie n burger from pie episode, burgerlord from double cheeseburger episode
I absolutely love Joe and Harry's interactions, it's a bromance that won't be broken in my mind. Appreciate what you guys do, keep it up!

The beef-grind ratio, too, probably. The raw ones had lots of fine fat in them.

With reference to the leaves in the final burger eaten, in Italian it's "arugula", which is often shortened to "rucola". The French call it "roquette" which the English refer to as "rocket".
"Rucola" is actually the original modern italian word, from which "Arugula" is derived, being a regional variation of "Rucola".
here in the netherlands we call it "rucola",, never heard anyone refer to it as "arugula" in dutch
but the name "roquette" or "raketsla" (dutch for "rocket lettuce") is also used sometimes
"rucola" is also the italian word for "rocket" by the by, so it's quite likely our translation came from the italian,
i make this assumption because in dutch we tend use a lot of original italian words for their products
i guess as a small country that is built on trade, we're just a bit more international thinking, also in mainland europe you have a lot more languages across a relatively small distance, so i guess it's just the nature of things with the lay of the land, right ?
it was already called rocket before the french influence, they did not make up the rocket part, italians did.
the fact that english is often badly pronounced french, is not specific/limited to the herb, nor the word rocket, so it doesn't really prove much.
yeah anglos got it from the french, but they got that outisde of this context too evidenced by the fact that the word for a rocket is also "rocket" in english :D

Yes the chef owner said that on the tastiest burger in la episode.
Starting at Pie N Burger is so appropriate, best of the best

Father's Office is one of me and my son's go-to burger spots. Now we HAVE to hit these other spots you've shared! Thanks!
"PACE YOURSELF" then cuts to the first order: burgers, fries, and pie with a massive mountain of ice cream.
To be fair to them, I’ve been to Pie n Burger multiple times and that’s the smallest amount of ice cream they will give you
😂 it is a pace… he didn’t mention what the cadence was.
“Arugula is spicy to you guys huh?”
😂😂😂 Such a sick burn
maybe its crossed with a semi spicy green
Ooh, how about an LA hot dog episode? I'd love to see Harry and Joe try Pink's, Cupid's, and a Dodger Dog.

Pie n Burger's cheeseburger reminds me of the late 60's/early 70's Marie Callender's coffee shops' burgers in S. CA.

love how you guys interract each other
I wish Joe would return this enthusiasm when Harry shows him around...😮
Harry is still educating the American and providing more insight about the foods, even on the American’s turf. Sad.
Joe seems depressed. He dressed like a slob AND showed no genuine interest.
@@breal7277I think you’ve mixed the two up. Lol.
@@ovaryacted Yep!
@@breal7277Yikes what a weird thing to say. Tf is wrong with you.
You kept me 35 minutes engaged without skipping anything best due in food reviews today
The bromantic comedy of the year. The Odd Couple with an appetite.
Yeah, a boorish and gobby American and a polite, subtle Brit....
Yes! Oinkster getting its flowers. Have to get the Chipotle ketchup with the gruyere cheese on the basic burger. So good!
Some more incredible LA burgers: Hiho Cheeseburger, Apple Pan and For The Win
ZoeKnowzBurgerz!!!! haven't tried FTW smashboiger but i've heard from several friends that it's the best smash burg in all of
LA!
I fast forwarded through just to find Apple Pan and it wasn't there 😢😢
idk, i was disappointed when i went to the apple pan. i might have to give it another shot. where is hiho cheeseburger?
@@six8rydr2001 Apple Pan is very overrated. HiHo is in Santa Monica. It's good, but be prepared to have an extra charge on your bill to pay for their employees' healthcare. Because that apparently is your responsibility.
Yeah HiHo is great and their fries are really good too
Fathers office is the best one, just unique taste n worth trying. Goldburger is def something that u can get all the time and their patty melt is sooo good
The best cheeseburger in LA is at Tommy's Burgers. I drive miles and miles to go there for their chili cheese fries.
Everyone should try Tommy’s, if only once. It’s like a beautiful girl who doesn’t have good features but when you put all of them together, voila, she’s beautiful. It all works! The meat looks questionable so eat without looking at it. It is heavily buried under chili so you really don’t see much of it. Oodles of diced onions, tomatoes and chili come together and the taste is wonderful. You will want to return soon because the taste lingers in your memory for a long while! Do try it at least once!!!
@@selfself8813 And don't forget the yellow chilis I would not eat a Tommy's burger or hot dog without them .
Out of all the burgers I've eaten in my life, the Office Burger stands alone. That thing is LEGENDARY. 🤤
"Did he train bees?????" im crying lmaooooo
I would love longer length Food Tours if Harry and Joe could handle just a few more locations. These four burger spots are only scratching the surface of what LA has to offer.
I feel like the Apple Pan should have been on this list.
: : just started watching these videos on a regular basis because of the interactions between Harry & Joe. They are both equally nerdy (opps .. I mean “passionate”) about food, both laugh at their own jokes & bounce off each other beautifully. Informative & entertaining. : ) Great content. : :
How did Harry and I do? Which was your favorite LA burger?
Surprised to not see Apple Pan on this tour. I've heard so many angelinos describe it as the most quintessential classic LA burger spot
Fatburger
Joe I love your reviews but I was disappointed that you left out a couple places.
In-n-out
Amboy
Although “smash burgers” are kind of a new thing in the UK, I feel like our burgers have traditionally been larger, thinner patties. It’s only in the last 25 years or so where burgers have become more common on the menus of gourmet restaurants that the thicker, stacked burgers have become the norm.
Harry has the best graphic tee collection. Joe Cool is king.
Snoopy is top tier
Love, love, love Harry's t-shirt. Great nod to Joe. Harry has really dressed for his tour 😂
love these guys and love this series
LA is the best foodie destination in the world, I have me drooling before you got me out of the first place.🍔
Can we take a moment to appreciate Harry's fashion? It's casual, campy and I❤️it! ❤️ Harry/Joe, hence why I subscribed.
my favourite youtube series, these guys goated
My FAV man - Harry (and Joe) !!!
This is my favorite series on RUclips
Your best series for sure.
the oinkster was close to my college campus so that brought out a lot of nostalgia. loved their aioli with the fries! haven't been there in forever
I wish my town had more local burger places like LA does.
Can't get enough of these videos, always excellent, 10/10. Love the ones in England but the USA ones are quality too. Two guys spot on personalities, play off each other perfectly. More entertaining vids please and keep up the outstanding work 👍👍👍👍👍
Me too Joe! "I'm so stoked for today" 😃 😁🍔 🙌
Of those LA options, The Office Burger®️would be my jam.
I live within 15 minutes of Pie and Burger and Oinkster 😮😊
Lucky you 😊 that pie a la mode looked delicious.
Father’s Office 😍 been eating that one for years. It’s my favorite burger of all time!
Apple Pan!!! 🍔🥧
A lot of the videos are paid by the restaurants to eat there.
Omg that office burger looks amazing 🤩 ,love your content guys 😊🏴
When I saw the pie and ice cream, for some reason, I was reminded of the Jubilee pancake and ice cream from Little Chef.
My mouth is watering!🤤🤤 I can’t wait for lunch break lol
how long did you guys have to wait for the fancy burger in the last place that it went from bright day outside to it being dark and the street lights turning on?
I would have added The Counter to your itinerary. The burger meat is excellent and the topping options are extensive. Delish!
