Chris has something that Ron respects ; Self assurance. While he may not agree with him and sees him as his own antithesis, Ron would much rather be friends with him knowing his character than with a half wit that shares his ideals.
@@someguy2135 Shame impossible burgers are often made with some ingredients that are as bad as cow farming for the environment or people. For example palm oil, hydrolyzed soy, many additives to make it look and feel like meat not to mention higher price and much more easy to overcook.
The real genius in this is Chris appealing to Ron's competitive nature via one-upmanship prompting Ron to propose a cookoff thereby flipping his protest into an opportunity to involve other staff and establish a consensus on the commissary menu. More involvement, Ron feels good about something at work and everyone wins.
All of Chris's fancy toppings on Ron's pure beef patty sounds like the perfect burger to me. That said, I don't see why the commissary couldn't have continued serving regular burgers while also offering turkey burgers to those who wanted them.
@@bitharneno he’s right. Why do you think Japan has better healthy people than America? All they mainly eat is chicken and fish. Americans eat a LOT of beef! Unfortunately red meat is kinda like the candy junk food of meat. It’s fantastic and delicious and I love it! But it does cause problems with the heart if taken in huge quantities over long periods.
@@spregged7231you’re not wrong, though beef, especially fatty ones like the Wagyu are also very popular in Japan. Not to mention pork stock and cutlets. Japan has loads of high fat foods, but often these are entries onto plates with vegetables and grains. They balance it properly rather than just not eating it.
@@theofficialuncleboneless5345 wagyu is a luxury dish in Japan. Not a staple food, so they don’t eat it very often. Their main staples are rice and fish. Very healthy diet combined with biking and walking everywhere. Man I wish America had the proper infrastructure for healthy lifestyles. As it stands it’s a crapshoot depending on where you live.
@@spregged7231 not gonna pretend like any of that’s incorrect. Truth is my genetics pretty much save me from my lifestyle. In the end most of the time it’s the consumer choosing, I can completely understand the drive to instill some righteous change it’s just that Chris goes about it all wrong, assuming a major shift in infrastructure can work at all. Tiny victories over generations are what inevitably change the scope of a people.
This is what I respect about Chris, he's wholesome and honest. Every time Ron comes to criticize his actions or preferences, he's always open about it.
I remember seeing a comment from someone who consulted his brother with 20 years of career experience in culinary arts about whether or not a turkey burger could 'beat' a beef burger. The answer he got was that if a trained chef did a lot of bells and whistles types of things with the turkey, it would be better than the beef. But the moment the beef burger is given bacon or caramelized onions, the turkey is defeated plain and simple.
turkey is simply not a very flavorsome meat. it can however provide good flavor if you use it's bones and such for stock and use that but how often does a burger include stock?
The only reason you buy ground turkey is for cost - it's a lot cheaper - but definitely nowhere near as good. Now I will happily eat oven baked turkey (especially with gravy) a couple of times a year (no deep fried - way too greasy), but other than that give me beef.
I can't rightly say that I've ever had ground turkey, but roast turkey for christmas with pan juice gravy? Hell to the motherfucking yeah! But that said, I do like a nicely cooked beef scotch fillet steak done medium rare, seasoned with salt and pepper and some garlic, herbs and butter to add some sauce to it.
I was so surprised, and delighted, to see that there’s one person on this show that even Jerry won’t hesitate to dump on. I honestly forgot Kyle existed before this moment.
I remember reading somewhere that Chris Pratt never used a spit bucket between takes like the other actors. He'd just straight up eat burger after burger every take. It's really funny seeing him down a burger without chewing though.
I love how both of them made a good burger that really shows how they each of them are individually. Ron is a salt of the earth type of person who tells it like it is (a simple beef burger with no added ingredients) while Chris is a kind soul who genuinely cares but is insecure about showing his true self (a turkey burger with top quality ingredients).
The fact that Chris used a laundry list of ingredients to create additional flavors while Ron just let the flavor of the meat speak for itself is just….. wow!!
"Have you ever tried a turkey burger?" "Is that a fried turkey leg inside a grilled hamburger? If so, yes. Delicious." This kind of burger needs to be made asap!
If it hadn't been done already, five minutes after this episode aired, someone was making much-improved version of the traditional, lackluster turkey burger.
I love how Chris has intricate plating and a detailed explanation of the diverse ingredients for his culinary creation. While Ron doles out plain hamburgers on paper plates with a bottle of ketchup in his pants pocket. 😆
One of the best series ever. Pohler and crew really knocked it out of the park making these characters real people. Like Andy Dwyer is really good as "star lord"
Jokes aside, the reason Ron won was because he grilled it over fire/charcoal. Im also willing to bet he seasoned his patty. You dont need anything but salt and smoke. BBQ burgers are a step above anything over a griddle or pan.
There was an episode of 'King Of The Hill' where Hank gets swayed over to charcoal after trying a burger cooked over them. He then spends a time conflicted as he's always been one to hype up propane (and propane accessories) lol.
Point of order! I make a bacon burger in a cast iron skillet by cooking the bacon first, then the burger in the grease of the bacon. I would gladly submit it as a peer of a classic charcoal burger.
I'm forever grateful to this show and specifically this episode for being the starting point for Binging With Babish. It was the perfect first episode to fully encapsulate what the channel was all about.
I'm just now noticing the elaborate way Andy eats every bit of the burger, scarfs the last bits like a baby bird, and then camera cut back and he's got another hamburger. I like to think he grabbed another one in that split second.
As a vegetarian, this scene is amazing. Veggie burgers always challenge you to get creative with how you flavor them, which can result in some amazing burgers. But there is absolutely no arguing the wonderful flavor of even just plain beef.
I haven’t watched the show, I actually recognized Ron from “The Founder” a movie telling the story how McDonald’s was founded and he played as one of the owners of the original restaurant before McDonald’s became a franchise so no wonder he won.
For the 4th of July I went to Smart and Final and bought a few pounds of 80/20 ground beef. Picked up the generic buns and American cheese slices. Kept it simple with lettuce, tomato and pickles as toppings along with ketchup and mustard. Cooked em on my blackstone grill. Everyone in the family went nuts and loved the burgers. People lined up for seconds and thirds. I felt like I did Ron proud that day.
Ron Swanson is a personality that I wish I could channel in many facets of my life. Stubborn masculinity that you can only watch in awe and be impressed by. He is arrogant... but never wrong, because he always knows what he is talking about, and if he doesn't... he attempts to learn... how else can he know his enemy.
Funny thing is a recent study showed that red meat doesn't cause these negative effects and thats it's rather a byproduct of not eating enough vegetables
Turkey is incredibly healthy for high protein content and naturally grows from large birds. It's also dry and mostly tasteless due to the lack of fat. The moment someone invented a way to farm chicken efficiently, turkey went on the forgotten lists of meat that only comes out for traditions like Thanksgiving and Christmas, still demanding large amounts of basting, stuffing and sauces to make palatable. Red meat goes even futhur, having even more fat in it's minced form which produce soft juicy burgers.
Man. The fact that it's a simple hamburger, makes me think of the county fair I went to as a kid, even their simple hamburgers were so satisfying, and had such a deep and rich flavor to them.
Andy (well, Chris P) legendarily finishes his hamburger at 2:49 (by discretely throwing some away) ...... but the crew didn't have enough footage of Chris just standing around at 2:52 so they had to put shots of him with the burger back in. Gosh how I wish they discussed this more and had Andy devour a burger in about 2 whole seconds ahaha.
I come back to this video occasionally and just noticed something. 01:40 Chris serves everyone his Turkey burger and then Ron does the same with his beef burger. Andy never ate the turkey burger but does take a bite (many bites) of the beef burger and exclaims..."Oh my god, this is so much better".

I'm forever grateful to this show and specifically this episode for being the starting point for Binging With Babish. It was the perfect first episode to fully encapsulate what the channel was all about.
1:10 Andy's face kills every single time
Chris is genuinely such a nice guy. We can all only hope to have a Chris in our lives.
I felt the same until he tries Leslie at the court. That was unnecessary and brutal.
don’t hope to have someone like him in your life, be that someone and you’ll attract likeminded people
I love turkey burgers, but the results of this contest were accurately portrayed. ☺
“What do I get if I win?”
“The rarest jewel of all, victory over me, Ron Swanson.”
I'm just now noticing the elaborate way Andy eats every bit of the burger, scarfs the last bits like a baby bird, and then camera cut back and he's got another hamburger. I like to think he grabbed another one in that split second.
The way he went "This is better" immediately after tasting the burger was really funny
"Ron, I'm so disappointed, I thought that you and I would have a real challenge" - Ron, to himself : "So did I"
2:01 Andy's face when he hears Donna has a sharp palate
As a vegetarian, this scene is amazing. Veggie burgers always challenge you to get creative with how you flavor them, which can result in some amazing burgers. But there is absolutely no arguing the wonderful flavor of even just plain beef.
The beef isn't doing any artery clogging either here, the grains and plant oils probably contribute way more to cvd.
@@tylerwmbassBingo!
Rob Lowe needs to do more comedy roles lol,his timing and delivery with "This is better" was perfection lol.
the legend goes they've become a couple and lived together for 20 years
After going "off the grid" and changing their names...
Chris’ Turkey burger was the only time he was eating something that sounded pretty good.
I haven’t watched the show, I actually recognized Ron from
“The Founder” a movie telling the story how McDonald’s was founded and he played as one of the owners of the original restaurant before McDonald’s became a franchise so no wonder he won.
Ron's definition of a turkey burger is something I'd like to see happen
Kyle: “I love the Umami flavor.”
Jerry: “Stop being so pretentious Kyle.”
For the 4th of July I went to Smart and Final and bought a few pounds of 80/20 ground beef. Picked up the generic buns and American cheese slices. Kept it simple with lettuce, tomato and pickles as toppings along with ketchup and mustard. Cooked em on my blackstone grill. Everyone in the family went nuts and loved the burgers. People lined up for seconds and thirds. I felt like I did Ron proud that day.
Fastest admission of defeat on TV history
Ron Swanson is a personality that I wish I could channel in many facets of my life. Stubborn masculinity that you can only watch in awe and be impressed by. He is arrogant... but never wrong, because he always knows what he is talking about, and if he doesn't... he attempts to learn... how else can he know his enemy.
Bill and Frank
Funny thing is a recent study showed that red meat doesn't cause these negative effects and thats it's rather a byproduct of not eating enough vegetables
"This is better"
The feel of defeat yet acceptance is impressive
2:53 I mimmick his expression and the way he gestures with the burger whenever I try a new food
When she said "that's my husband" I got a little aroused 🤣🤣🤣
If food wars has taught me anything, the first guy to serve his dish always loses.
the "thats my husband" line was hilarious
Yet again, we see Andy has the literal intellect level and outlook of a golden retriever.
"Did you get his number?"
"No."
"Good girl."
"Turkey can never beat cow" words I live by when grilling.
2:07 my favorite Jerry moment
Turkey is incredibly healthy for high protein content and naturally grows from large birds. It's also dry and mostly tasteless due to the lack of fat. The moment someone invented a way to farm chicken efficiently, turkey went on the forgotten lists of meat that only comes out for traditions like Thanksgiving and Christmas, still demanding large amounts of basting, stuffing and sauces to make palatable. Red meat goes even futhur, having even more fat in it's minced form which produce soft juicy burgers.
I eat turkey at least once a week.
Man. The fact that it's a simple hamburger, makes me think of the county fair I went to as a kid, even their simple hamburgers were so satisfying, and had such a deep and rich flavor to them.
Even Jerry bullies poor Kyle LMAO
I know one thing that can conquer Ron’s burger. A hamburger made with Bison.
Try bear
@@herambhasabnis6949 Emu anus
he didnt even hesitate or swallow, immediate american approval
Andy (well, Chris P) legendarily finishes his hamburger at 2:49 (by discretely throwing some away) ...... but the crew didn't have enough footage of Chris just standing around at 2:52 so they had to put shots of him with the burger back in.
Gosh how I wish they discussed this more and had Andy devour a burger in about 2 whole seconds ahaha.
0:49 this is why I like Chris. Literally gets nothing if he wins
Can we just take a moment to respect how quickly Andy devours that burger? XD
I come back to this video occasionally and just noticed something. 01:40 Chris serves everyone his Turkey burger and then Ron does the same with his beef burger. Andy never ate the turkey burger but does take a bite (many bites) of the beef burger and exclaims..."Oh my god, this is so much better".
0:33 I love me some Ron Swanson but turkey burgers are delicious.
Ron Swanson... the Statesman we ALL need in Government.
1:48 Donna seems to be really attracted to Chris 😇
Everyone is. Lol. Even Leslie was taken in by his energy when they first met.
The discontinuity of how much burger chris pratt is holding kills me in this otherwise perfect scene.
I freaking love Chris in this show, just fantastic characterization. Same with Ron but that's more just the actor in real life hahah
Fair to say that Ron won because he had over 70 years of experience in the hamburger business.
Beef doesn’t clog arteries. Grains/sugars do though. Ron’s burger without the bun is healthier than Chris’s with the bun
And that is why the sun and the moon hold their own spaces, but they do work together here and there.
I think about the moment Ron serves a plain hamburger on a bun to win the cook-off almost daily.
Parks and Rec is great because even when the characters, who are complete opposites, have conflict you still love them all like family.
And they love each other! So much this
