That's actually one of the things that keep me up at night. If humans are stupid enough to make big burgers tall instead of wide, we're all doomed. And rightly so.
It's easier and consequently cheaper to make tall burgers. You just use your standard, mass-produced burger buns and stack stuff on it. Done. If you wanted wider burgers you'd have to get wider buns which are either special-made or you'd have to bake them yourself. The final product would then be great, but much more expensive - or less profitable :)
@@Jixxor you'd think, but when I was in Japan, I looked up a list of "best burgers in Tokyo" and one of the places I went to used extra narrow (but thick) patties. Was like 12 inches tall with the whole thing no wider than a hawaiian roll. Most of it was toppings... Which was actually a good thing because, while the toppings were great, the beef itself was pretty mid at best. For all my trying, the best burger I had in the country was at the diner place on base. But you don't go to Japan for burgers. No burger would rank in even the top 100 meals I had there.
@@ledoi5961 Super tall burgers are dumb, but there are reasons places sell them. First, people will feel less guilty about eating one giant burger than two normal sized burgers. So big burgers drive more profits. Second, a tall burger is better for display purposes.

1. Profits are no justification for stupidity. Besides, I'm convinced making gigantic, wide burgers would be a good driver for your business if you were running a burger place. 2.

I worked at a Bavarian restaurant where we had the 2 liter boots There was some drinking game that went with them where you’re not supposed to let the boot touch the table and if you are the 2nd to last person to drink before it gets finished then you have to pay (for it or the next round I don’t remember) Sometimes a table of four would have one boot and not be able to finish it, sometimes a table of 4 would get 4 boots and finish it all. If they drank 3 boots worth we gave them a tshirt or a wizard looking hat The management sucked at the restaurant so I didn’t stay long but I did always like wearing a pretty dirndl with a flower crown to work and getting people drunk.
I semi-frequented one and would regularly order 2 Maßkrug of beer over the meal. Once, I ordered their 2 liter boot, and drank the whole thing all by my self. But on another visit, when I tried to order one again, they refused, and said their policy is to not allow it to be ordered by a single person… even though, I was a known regular and drinking 2 liter of beer already regularly. 🤷♀

@@tstieber If you live in an industrial society (we do) buns are made in standardized sizes. Thus a wide burger would be unsupported by the bun and fall apart. Making it less of a "sandwich" and more of a "chopped steak with toppings and bread" meal. Thus the beef can only be fractionally wider than the bun that supports it. To enable the wide burger, one must first sell the wide bun.
@@bcubed72 of course, it would be a non standard size but. Although McDonald's seems to have an elongated bun with the McRib sandwich. In the end, one could just nibble away at any dimension of bun anyway. No need to have a bun narrow enough to fit in your mouth, although it is a very nice feature of hot dogs

Ah yes Max Bratwurst Und Bier. Went there with a group and it was indeed delicious. Their leberkäse is outstanding along with their rinderwürste. Both brought me back to an old German deli near my old hometown (in New Jersey called the Swiss Pork Store as it was opened in the 50s.)
Rinderwürst?! I hate how the US just slaps an Umlaut to a German word making it complete nonsense.

Tbh, German restaurants in other parts of the world are often more authentic, than some of the German restaurants we have for tourists in Germany. I've had Flammkuchen with Weißwurst and sweet mustard served to me in Germany, which given the proximity of the Restaurant to the Alsace and Bavaria surprisingly didn't start a war.
The beer in bootform is a pretty good one. This is a bit of a practical joke in Germany and Belgium. If you get a foreigner and he asks for a beer, you serve it in in a boot glass like that. Then tell him the tip of the boot needs to point up during drinking. By the design of the glass, by the time he gets about to around 2/3 of the way through the beer, it will pour out on the side of his mouth. To avoid this, slowly rotate the glass while drinking so that by the end it end up at around a 90 degree angle.

@@karaltar7914 India Pale Ale. The British troops in the Raj had a problem - the local breweries (if there were any at all) brewed nothing like the ales they were accustomed to. Also the British brewers had lost their continental market due to Napoleons blockade, so there was a new market opportunity but it was a looooong way away. Unfortunately this was pre Suez Canal, so anything shipped from Blighty to India had to go all the way around the Cape of Good Hope in S. Africa, this took months and there's no way a cask of beer is going to keep good for that long. So the cunning brewers in Burton on Trent around about 1815 AD created a very high gravity beer with lots of hops and these two factors combined kept the beer alive. The beer in the barrels was often about 8% to 9% however I believe it was watered down to lower strengths for the soldiers and JNCO's mess (don't want to let squaddies drink pints of strong beer - can you imagine the carnage?) although I bet the Senior NCO'S had access to the 'good' stuff. Nowadays it's a 'trendy' pale ale and sometimes - for me - it's far too hoppy especially when they use the New World Hops. Burton's do a good one - Empire Pale Ale A.B.V. 7.5% - it's a nice drop of ale but you can't drink too many of them, definitely not a session beer.
I'm actually going to watch the champions league final today at a German restaurant here in Northampton, MA. I'm not German, but will keep an eye for the authenticity as if I was 😂

My only question are: has anyone ever tried the boot glass as shoes? Are there other clothing related glasses? Gloves glasses? Sock glasses? I know there is some historical reasoning in them but drinking from a boot sounds incredibly disgusting for both the beer and wearing the boot afterwards. And what's their volume?

The delivery of "I don't make the rules!""Who does...?" had me in stitches for 10 minutes flat....😂😂😂
As an Australian I have a similar reaction going to the Outback Steakhouse.
Habs looked like a 7-year old german boy having his first glass of beer in this one. lol
The more I watch these the more I want to experience Germany. I feel like I would really get along.
And, is that something you could one day do? 🙂
Believe me, they are really awkward
I worked at a Bavarian restaurant where we had the 2 liter boots
There was some drinking game that went with them where you’re not supposed to let the boot touch the table and if you are the 2nd to last person to drink before it gets finished then you have to pay (for it or the next round I don’t remember)
Sometimes a table of four would have one boot and not be able to finish it, sometimes a table of 4 would get 4 boots and finish it all.
If they drank 3 boots worth we gave them a tshirt or a wizard looking hat
The management sucked at the restaurant so I didn’t stay long but I did always like wearing a pretty dirndl with a flower crown to work and getting people drunk.
You were an angel, a beer delivering gift of god *sob sob*
CURSE YOU MANAGMENT!
I semi-frequented one and would regularly order 2 Maßkrug of beer over the meal. Once, I ordered their 2 liter boot, and drank the whole thing all by my self. But on another visit, when I tried to order one again, they refused, and said their policy is to not allow it to be ordered by a single person… even though, I was a known regular and drinking 2 liter of beer already regularly. 🤷♀
hm so strange you had to wear a flower crown
i didnt know people think thats part of traditional clothing. well bavarian "culture" was mostly created in its modern form to cater to tourists. pretty sad.
is it a gimic or a regular thing to give out wizard hats? asking for a friend!
@@puellanivis You can guarantee, that some lone tourist who's used to drinking light beer tried the challenge and made a complete state of themselves (and possibly caused a barfight/broke stuff). Children need supervision afterall.
Give me the Wurst burger!
That was the best part 😂
When the tall burger is the worst burger. 😂
"I am not a Pelican" thats just perfect lmao
That was hilarious! The joke in the beginning really brings back core memories of my childhood watching Heinz Erhardt
I went to a German restaurant with my grandfather who immigrated from Germany... he argued with the chef about how to properly make red cabbage coleslaw
apples or no apples?
Probably the best day in a while for at least one, if not both of them. (:
@@SamanthaIreneYTube The dish is called "Apfelrotkohl" in Germany. Take a guess.
@@SamanthaIreneYTubeeither apples, cranberry or chestnuts. Bavarian would be apple. I am Bavarian and a hobby cook. Duck fat also boosts the flavor of the red cabbage tremendously
@@z33r0now3 I’m a big fan of red cabbage especially with apples
So many hilarious bits to this. The "papa" joke at the start, the conversation with the waitress devolving into "Hitla Hitla Hitla", and best of all imo, "I AM NOT A PELICAN." Too true. What's with tall burgers?! If it was a novelty, it's been played out.
I think I heard a 'Schmetterling' in there as well.
Only Germans would understand that at 0:47 when he says “A shandy?” And he asks “What’s a shame?” It because a shame in German is a “Schande” which sound similar. Nice touch 😂
Yiddish has “shonde” so Jewish Americans would get the joke too.
To be fair, wide burgers are superior to tall burgers. Make it for the height of the mouth, but for the length of the hunger! 😄
Why not make it oval like a long sandwich? Nobody's jaws are that wide either!
@@tstieberwhat
@@tstieber You can use these interesting appendices called "opposable thumbs" to hold the part of the burger you're not going to bite, and take progressively more bites!
Your mouth doesn't have enough depth for a footlong as subway either. Did you intend to deepthroat it?
@@tstieber
If you live in an industrial society (we do) buns are made in standardized sizes. Thus a wide burger would be unsupported by the bun and fall apart. Making it less of a "sandwich" and more of a "chopped steak with toppings and bread" meal. Thus the beef can only be fractionally wider than the bun that supports it.
To enable the wide burger, one must first sell the wide bun.
@@bcubed72 of course, it would be a non standard size but. Although McDonald's seems to have an elongated bun with the McRib sandwich. In the end, one could just nibble away at any dimension of bun anyway. No need to have a bun narrow enough to fit in your mouth, although it is a very nice feature of hot dogs
I really hope Habs isn't driving home now lol! Also, I don't want to sound disrespectful, but the height difference on these two is just kinda funny!
"So how many beers did you have?"
"Just one officer, I swear"
"Well if you just had one, you are free to go. On your way..."
Lmao the one that seems taller is short and the one who would look shorter is tall as hell
Don´t you worry, it was just one Beer.
They live in New York. They don’t need to drive.
Whoever is even slightly responsible for those tall burgers can rot in the pits of the underworld...
WOOOO A NEW VIDEO
🎉🎉🎉
It is always surprising to go to a German restaurant in the US as a German because you will always find stuff you've never seen before. Also ordering a Burger at a German restaurant in the US is kind of ironic.
My bf is... Bavarian AF and he just was in the midwest for the first time and over the phone was like "... I don't want to offend, but... what's with all of these places having an 'Oktoberfest'?" Convo ensues about how there is only one Oktoberfest, why don't they call it just a fall festival or some shit like other places, etc. etc. 😂 I explain that it's prob like how St. Patricks day gets used here. 😅
Well, there might be a lot of Octoberfests, but there is only one Wiesn.
@@dekjetamericans when they find out oktoberfest is in september: 🤯
1:01 The German friend: "Ah, I hadn't realized you were driving. If so, I'd have ordered a large beer."
Just order "Für much; ein GROSSE BIER bitte!" and see what happens.
Just perfect! I love you guys! Wünsche euch einen wunderschönen Tag!
The random Schmetterling in the middle of the conversation got me :D
ihr zwei macht so gute Witze ihn euren vids weiter so. ^^
Danke!
I wish we had a German restaurant in my area. The nearest decent one is over an hour away and very small - but the owners and staff are fluent in Deutsch, and the food is spot on. THE best thing I brought back from Germany is a cookbook. And it covers dishes from all over Deutschland not just Bayern.
And yes, tall burgers are off the devil! I hate it when they do that and WILL use a knife and fork versus trying to open my mouth like a T-Rex.
Oh, and the Telegram idiots are all over your page btw.
Ah yes Max Bratwurst Und Bier. Went there with a group and it was indeed delicious. Their leberkäse is outstanding along with their rinderwürste. Both brought me back to an old German deli near my old hometown (in New Jersey called the Swiss Pork Store as it was opened in the 50s.)
Rinderwürst?! I hate how the US just slaps an Umlaut to a German word making it complete nonsense. Although, in this case it would be at least be correct if it was Rinderwürste (plural of Rinderwurst)... Now that I think about it it's actually Rindswurst and Rindswürste.
However, Wurst made of pig is better anyway. :D
@@h.celine9303 Blame their spelling on the menu. Don't know why it's spelled that way anyway.
my dad once visited a beer house in Munich and asked to get a SMALL beer, because he wasn't thirsty enuff for a normal size. Waitress asked him 'why' ? He told her . . . she just said 'then get the hell outta here and come back when you're thirsty enough for the STANDARD size (1 Liter) 🙂
She did not gave him a small one
You dont get the kids portion if you aint a kid.
@@christiang5209 👍❤👍
As a German I don't think not being thirsty is a real thing
@@TheSandkastenverbot 1 Liter Bier auf einmal ist ekelhaft. Die Hälfte von dem Zeug wird warm und schal, wenn man's nicht auf Ex runterkippt. Viel besser ist es, gemütlich und ohne Stress zwei oder drei Halbe zu konsumieren. Hab noch nie im Leben eine Maß bestellt, das ist Schwachsinn in meinen Augen.
He should have visited Cologne. They serve their beer in small glasses.
Wenn der Hambuger in einem durchkommt… Hummel Hummel, Mors Mors!
And yet still so much more accurate than Outback Steakhouse.
the waitress just blurting out SCHMETTERLING is top tier
01:05 these big beer glasses are a disgrace. Half of the beer becomes warm and stale, unless you down it all quickly. The rest looked awesome and delicious. cheers from Austria (we are Germany's "little sister"...:)))
You have to tilt your head horizontally to eat the tall burger like you are a termite.
LOL! Golden! I just pick the burger apart, but I like your strategy. 👍
„Gimme the Wurstburger“
Leute Leute ich schmeiß mich in die Ecke😂😂😂😂 liebe Grüße aus Deutschland/ Wolfsburg.
servus 😊
why do i love so much seeing these men try to manage all this awkwardness haha
This is still one of my fav skits of yours. The ending where he just gulps down the entire beer is just great
its not a beer. its a shandy. half beer, half lemonade. a 14 year old could drink it like that.
I like this alternative take on Pipins "It comes in pints? I'm getting one"
I’d love to see you guys come back here, and also a version with the Austrian!
Living in Berlin, this waitress knew more german words than the majority of our waiters here. Leading to very confusing orders sometimes.
Where do your waiters come from?
@@JO-nh6mo Probably from eastern Europe or the Middle East, since Berlin is a shithole, run by lebanese or arab clans.
@@JO-nh6mo name any islamic country and you are propably right... Berlin is lost and a absolute failed city - not the only one tbh but the most failed for sure!
Such pathetic wimpy delusional human being. I live in a Gulf Islamic state, and most of the waiters here are Filipino Christians. Does that make my wealthy country a failed one!
@@S2audicoupeS2Wrong.
Am Swedish and once was blessed enough to know a place that made 400g wide burgers. It was glorious! It was basically a massive pita bread with a burger and burger stuff in it. They had different varieties. The people who worked there were also Arabs hence the pita-model.
Not so much with the Hitler talk though
Beer and Sprite is literally untermensch behavior and I will not stand for it
I Sverige? Vart nånstans?
I love the complete and utter lack of compassion, caring, or interest with the delivery of "I don't make the rules"
Me "Huh, no ads? That's luck"
Always me after 0:28 "Oh ok now i get it
Tbh, German restaurants in other parts of the world are often more authentic, than some of the German restaurants we have for tourists in Germany. I've had Flammkuchen with Weißwurst and sweet mustard served to me in Germany, which given the proximity of the Restaurant to the Alsace and Bavaria surprisingly didn't start a war.
German is such an easy language to learn. Just repeat Michael Schumacher, Dirk Nowitzki, Schmetterling with a few Hitlers here and there.
The beer in bootform is a pretty good one. This is a bit of a practical joke in Germany and Belgium. If you get a foreigner and he asks for a beer, you serve it in in a boot glass like that. Then tell him the tip of the boot needs to point up during drinking. By the design of the glass, by the time he gets about to around 2/3 of the way through the beer, it will pour out on the side of his mouth.
To avoid this, slowly rotate the glass while drinking so that by the end it end up at around a 90 degree angle.
90 degree angle? How much is this in inch?
🥸
About 3 stones and a rabbit
Beerfest….
When he drank that whole Beer, I felt that..
Oh dear. As a German, the first thing I ask myself is why were the tin signs all hung up so horribly crooked?
"it's not big it's tall, how am i supposed to eat this?" I can relate soooo much! "how am i supposed to eat this" i think every time i see one of those silly monster burger only godzilla could fit into his mouth.
The waiter's disappointment to the IPA came from the soul.
What is an IPA?
@@karaltar7914 India Pale Ale. The British troops in the Raj had a problem - the local breweries (if there were any at all) brewed nothing like the ales they were accustomed to. Also the British brewers had lost their continental market due to Napoleons blockade, so there was a new market opportunity but it was a looooong way away.
Unfortunately this was pre Suez Canal, so anything shipped from Blighty to India had to go all the way around the Cape of Good Hope in S. Africa, this took months and there's no way a cask of beer is going to keep good for that long.
So the cunning brewers in Burton on Trent around about 1815 AD created a very high gravity beer with lots of hops and these two factors combined kept the beer alive.
The beer in the barrels was often about 8% to 9% however I believe it was watered down to lower strengths for the soldiers and JNCO's mess (don't want to let squaddies drink pints of strong beer - can you imagine the carnage?) although I bet the Senior NCO'S had access to the 'good' stuff.
Nowadays it's a 'trendy' pale ale and sometimes - for me - it's far too hoppy especially when they use the New World Hops. Burton's do a good one - Empire Pale Ale
A.B.V. 7.5% - it's a nice drop of ale but you can't drink too many of them, definitely not a session beer.
I'm actually going to watch the champions league final today at a German restaurant here in Northampton, MA. I'm not German, but will keep an eye for the authenticity as if I was 😂
Have a great time and ask for a Wurst Burger
"I don't make the rules."
"WHO DOES?"
😂
did anyone else just realise that they are two different people.
Such much burger.
Such much beer.
😋
I love that Calvin just hears nothing but "Hitler, hitler, hitler, HITLER!" at the beginning
Der Wurstburger… meine Nerven. 😂😂😂
...und am ende gibts weisswürste mit spätzle und sauerkraut
I’m probably way too excited by the fact that I recognized this restaurant.
The american just hearing “hitler hitler hitler” is hilarious
I literally spat out my drink laughing… Hilarious 😂
I know this sounds weird, but it was kind of cute how happy the waitress said Hit*er
Hahaha when it turned to "hitlerhitlerhitler" you got me. Sometimes it can start to feel like that with germans I guess, when you're an outsider. And I can totally feel you, when my jaw gets locked and the tip of the jaw and nose just sweep everything off the burger while I'm trying to get a bite, the burger is too tall.
You won´t hear Hitler in a german conversation, he is something like Voldemort in Harry Potter everybodys know the history, but we dont use the name in conversation and if you do it might get quite around you.
Calling someone Nazi is a bi g insult, and you shouldnt do it unless he is.
The asserting contempt through casually chugging a pint of beer was a nice touch. Very authentic. Really nails that 'ugh, you fucking savage' vibe.
This tall burger rant is gold
I can absolutely relate on chugging down the Alster like that. It’s like a light and very refreshing beer. Fine drink anytime of the day. ❤ Greetings from Frankfurt/Main
Her euphoric "Hitler!" cracked me up. xD
SCHMETTERLING 😂
The Papadu joke in the beginning was excellently executed. It's like the famous "you can say you to me"
I’m watching this with German subtitles in an attempt to learn some German befor my German classes next year
Ich hasse diese hohen Restaurant-Burger! Fällt alles auseinander und am Ende isst man Brot einzeln, dann ein Stück Tomate, ein Happen Fleisch... so dämlich und ungeil. Burger muss in 2 Hände und einen offenen Mund passen. Spätestens nach einmal platt drücken.
Ich hab aufgegeben, ich esse sie mit Messer und Gabel und nehme sie auseinander.
GANZ GENAU!
Das! Genauso, Burger sind so unpraktisch!
I work at a Hofbrauhaus in the US. Some of their faux-German dishes make me want to cry.
My German heart cant bear to see such a botching of German culture.
Habs: "Rindfleischettiketierungsverordnung?"
Waitress: "Ahso, verbrämtes Kleinod!"
Habs: "Genau!"
both: "Hahaha.. Endlösung!" 💀
The down-the-whole-Radler-in-one-go tactic and the grunting after are the authentic German experience.
“A shandy?”
“What is a shame?”😂
What you mean Calvin never had a Shandy? I prefer the Belgian Ale with 60 40 mix of grapefruit soda to beer. And a pub pretzel with a Fish fry. Delicious 😋
My only question are: has anyone ever tried the boot glass as shoes?
Are there other clothing related glasses? Gloves glasses? Sock glasses? I know there is some historical reasoning in them but drinking from a boot sounds incredibly disgusting for both the beer and wearing the boot afterwards.
And what's their volume?
I actually have one of those glasses in my cupboard though I rarely use it. Was a promo gift from some client.
Volume is usually 5 liter. Which is a good start. Though I'd just order 5 Maß, they're better. Easier to hold, beer is still fresh when you finish it.
None of them is common in Germany. Same as for the coccoo clock, it's only bought by American tourists. Would have been long forgotton without them.
Three years of failing to learn German was worth it for catching that waitress randomly saying butterfly 🦋
Fun video! Thank you! It's much the same for almost ANYONE actually from Europe going into a "nationally-themed" restaurant in the USA.
Was in an Irish pub in Berlin, ordered a meal and a drink in German, the staff member said "No worries". I then replied "Ok, where in Australia are you from?" Turned out, she lived in the same street! My German friends thought we'd set it up....totally a co-incidence.
Dumdumdumidum dumdumdumidum *men at work starts playing in the distance
Ok, so is calling it the worst/wurst burger intentional?
If it's a German in a German Restaurant in the US, why not go for bratwurst or schnitzel instead of burger? XD
@@kreight_ LOL didnt think of that , gotta admit 😳😅😆 but then who thinks of burger just because there is a city called hamburg...at least i didnt xD
i´ve been there and havent had a burger there xD
@@yatoswag the most likely origin is: In the 19th century there was a ground beef patty eaten by German immigrants to the US that was referred to as a "hamburger steak" after the city of Hamburg. People started making sandwiches out of them and that became the hamburger we know and love.
Also did you know that there is a German city named Frankfurt and an Austrian city called Wien? Think about that when you have a hot dog.
@@88porpoise Minced meat with a lot of onions being called some variety of "Hamburger" or "Hamburg something" go back to the 18th century. Where the actual sandwich hamburger comes from is unknown really. There are many possible origins including texas, New York and Hamburg itself. Might also be that multiple people came up with it simultanously.
I love this channel.
I likehow german sounds. So put together and chaotic at the same time.
And Hamburger eating an hamburger.... That's that count as cannibalism? 🤔
