Regarding matching too much: it's sort of like noticing that "similar colors are more pleasant together," and making an "optimal design" that's all shades of blue.
I mean, when someone says "complementary colours", they are talking about the 2 or 3 colours that are furthest away from each other on the colour wheel.
That's exactly what I thought of. It's like their first attempts with the large dots were making a design with analogous colors and at the end with the smallest dots was them making them with contrasting colors.
To put it in a visual way.
666 Likes.. Not touching it.
@@LoonyHalfBlood - Yea, thats what I was thinking, the bigger the dots the more they flavors work with each other, which causes the flavors to all be homogenized, the smaller dots all stand out which when together in the same bite makes you go "ooh... ahh... wait?? yea.... nice" because their all unique but together in the same bite
@@LoonyHalfBlood that’s the perfect comparison actually

Steph. You nailed that on the head. Contrast is super important in food. At times you want an acid to cut that rich creaminess. 100%.
in school i had to make a "healthy" burger for food tech, it had caramelised onion hummus and leafy salad in the burger. i also used a bagel instead of a bun and put some allspice in the patty. it was a very good burger.
That sounds amazing! Def gonna try it.
i also have to do this at the end of the year lol
my pe teacher had us do something similar lol
That’s sound cool!

I feel like if we’ve learned anything from this episode it’s that burgers can be made with a lot of weird things you don’t typically think of and taste amazing
Honey is actually very good on burgers, but not just plain honey. I'd suggest mixing the honey with the mustard, just like the Jollibee Aloha burger.
Yeah, and the same burger also had a whole pineapple slice in it, don't know how it wasn't that sour but me and my sister kinda theorized that it might have been slightly roasted.
So make honey mustard basically
Yes! Honey mustard is so good on burgers, a hot honey could also be super tasty
@@BaguetteDeMal exactlt
You can also treat honey like any sugar and caramelize it. It resembles a jam like consistently, and you can add anything you want to it for more flavors.
My favorite is make a spicy honey mustard with it.
I once won a competion for Swedish McDonalds, it was called the McFiggehn: 150g beef patty with chorizo-sausage, a hot chili sauce, tomatoes, onion, american cheddar and ementaler cheese and a bread with corn grits

@@freshprinceofsolaire.2123 u on to somethin🤔
This made me laugh way harder than it should have
Alot of people call me weird before they try it, but I swear sour cream instead of mayo on the bottom bun and just a super tiny sprinkle of cinnamon on the meat itself make for a great burger regardless of the few extra toppings people also add or don't add on top of that.
Definitely trying this!
The sour cuts the other flavors and the sweet does the same. You wants different parts of the tongue active for a burger.
I do cream cheese. The chive kind.
@@TheLordDraculayum
I’m gonna try this now. Thank you! 👀
I just realised that the reason why the ones with the most matches didn’t work was because the blend meant a lot of similar aromas, not a lot of very different aromas like burgers usually are.
You basically just reiterated what was said in the video, completely unnecessary.
@@nicolemelo8994 wow, they have an epiphany that they didn’t have during the video, and thought about it and worded it differently, so that it makes more sense in their own mind, and your knee-jerk reaction is to sh*t on them for actually coming to that conclusion? Really?

The magic of making a burger summed up in one comment
That last burger is immediately appealing BECAUSE it samples a wide variety of flavors and then creates the dissonance between them for even more sensation! I’ll have to try it myself
Here's the thing: pairing is GREAT when you are taking two separate bites or sips of different things, like the famous wine and cheese example. When you are only taking a bite out of one dish, and getting multiple flavors out of it, you need some contrast. So it doesn't really work to apply it to a burger. It helps you design a meal, not a single course.
that makes sense
This. A leafy green salad with a honey vinaigrette is a nice side salad WITH a fancy burger. It doesn't mean you put those same leafy greens and honey ON the burger.
This makes sense and could explain why I hate burgers and sandwiches
Thank you, i was trying to articulate that but couldn't figure out exactly how to phrase it. That, however, was absolutely perfect.
When I saw that bacon doesn't pair well with beef (smallest green dot), I knew the pairing site was off somewhere.
I find it so fascinating how similar food pairing is to music: dissonance in music makes for an interesting and exciting song, while cohesive chords and notes may sound good, but wind up being plain and boring.
Agreed. Same with fashion. Matching to a tee is boring but using items that compliment each other are when people look their best.
But it needs to have at least one commonality. Like, you know want a symphony, not just cacophony, but not to the point where it’s all the same. It’s a harmony.
Similar in art, most of the time contradicting colors pair off well because it let the artist choose the focus and control the emotion of the painting
Although it is possible to write music with hardly any dissonance that is great. Look up Shostakovich's Fugue in A Major (it's got a prelude too). It does have minor chords for contrast against major, though.
Well, they're literally the same thing but with different senses.
Actually, interesting thought: Would a synesthete hear a burger as, like, an orchestra or something because of how many different flavors there are?
Only a year late, but Steph trolling Matt with the bag towards the end? That's couple goals right there
Something I didn’t expect to taste good on a burger is peanut butter and raspberry jam with Swiss cheese but you know it’s surprisingly delicious
well jam is good with cheese and a lot of people like PB&J sandweges
I had a peanut bacon burger at a restaurant once. It was amazing.
@@Bobblehead-nz9cn you deserve to go to the same place as the pineapple pizza eaters
Yeah, it is. I’ve actually had a burger at a local restaurant that had bacon, peanut butter, blackberry jam (pretty sure it was blackberry), and jalapeño slices. It was a surprising hit.

"The blend made for a suprisingly boring experience" This my friends is why the key to life is contrast. Specifically creating and idea with color or flavor or sounds, and then using something that is considered very different from that idea contrast and enhance that core idea.. This is why ABAB song formats exist, the color wheel exist, and even combos such as sweet and spicy.
As the old adage goes, “opposites attract”
Love your examples, very much agree
My hypothesis is that the Flavor Pairing theory works best for dishes that have a more uniform/homogeneous flavor, like the aforementioned spaghetti, and also coffee that tastes the same all throughout. Burgers on the other hand (at least for people who care about things like this) aren’t about the uniformity, rather the variety of distinct flavor profiles coming together. If I were to guess, pizza would be another type of dish where Flavor Pairing theory wouldn’t really be too applicable. Applying that burger mentality to say, coffee, would be like drinking coffee and expecting to be able to distinclty taste the water, the coffee powder, cream, etc. instead of tasting the uniform coffee blend
Should have looked for this before I posted a comment, 100% on point
It is literally a burger, Socrates
This might actually be really helpful for picky eaters. Having different ingredients that blend really well together aromatically could help people with picky palates expand those palates because the new ingredients blend with ones they already enjoy. I should try some alfalfa springs on my next burger, maybe that'll help me eat more greens!
My “perfect pairing” includes some out of the ordinary toppings and a few tried and true classics. Sriracha Mayo is the primary condiment, on a toasted Brioche bun. A coleslaw serves as both an acidic factor and a crunch factor, while I personally put it underneath the patty, I’ll leave that decision up to you. The other toppings I include are Fried Mushrooms and Onions, sauted in olive oil until the onions are slightly caramelized and the mushrooms begin to get a nice brown on both sides. As for the cheese, nothing beats a good slice of smoked Gouda.
Hey Matt, sort of a tame Food Theory question for you, "Why do some things taste better at different temperatures (I.E. why do some drinks/foods taste better cold and others taste better hot)"?
Oooooo good one!
this is an interesting one
Dr pepper tastes great hot (I'm talking hot as in "you stayed all day at the Salt River Az hot and got back to your truck and found a hot can of goodness" hot)
@@MissEwe I like it ice cold 😂
also pretty much nothing tastes better at room temperature...
One of the best burgers I’ve ever had was apple wood smoked bacon, paired with apple slices and honey, and a fried egg. lettuce and fried onion optional
Well bacon issss the aimbot of burgers so....

Warm up the brie a bit to spread it on the toasted bottom bun.

Matching flavors don't guarantee a more interesting meal. That's how you get things like salted caramel, chocolate pretzels, teriyaki, sweet and sour, etc. I am a trained cook and would love to help you with some of these videos (for free, I'm not trying to make money just would love to help make these videos the best they could be).

Right the whole idea that more aromatic pairings automatically means better combinations is just false in my opinion. The science behind food pairings are real chemical pairings, but that doesn't necessarily translate to better flavor

Going through and watching all the Food Theory videos I haven't watched yet, and the concept of a burger tournament from fan recipes sound friggen awesome. Has that actually been done yet?
I want the part 3 to the Food Theory Burger Saga
The issue that MatPat encountered was that everything tasted the same, this is because the aromas matched so much. The reason the opposite flavours make a better burger is because they give different experiences, different flavours that burgers taste good.
You need some complementary and some contrasting. It's a balancing act. Also, everything was branched out of the meat, maybe some links between ingredients themselves as well.
Yes.
Yes! I find when I eat sandwiches, turkey and cheese makes a nice and interesting combination.
yes, that’s so true
I thought the same thing too. If everything has the same aroma, then it's a boring experience/taste. So, that website is useless.

11:50 best part of the episode for me, the reaction MatPat has is just gold
I put cheese, bacon and pickle flavored chips on my burgers.
The reason I don’t use actual pickles is because real pickles make the bun soggy and it falls apart once you start eating it. But I also use a pretzel bun so it is way more stable. Also the order I would stack it in (bottom to top) is burger, cheese, bacon, and chips. The cheese makes the rest on the ingredients stick on better and the bacon keeps the chips away from the burger so it has more of a crunch.

This is why in culinary school you are taught to balance flavors. Sweet, salty, savoury, spicy, and sour/acidic. If you feel you're missing something in a dish and you already added salt try adding something sour like vinegar or lemon juice. Also textures are very important as well. That's why adding potato chips to a burger or sandwich can turn out so nice. same for the ciabatta bun, it adds a little bit more texture than your typical hamburger bun. Everybody knows how sad it is when something is too mushy or when you feel something hard in a soft food. NOT GOOD. So finding that right balance is key. Nothing too bold as to make it taste out of place but not all the same taste as it'll just end up tasting like (and pardon the pun) a nothingburger.
I feel like Steph's patty is something they'd sell at Wendy's.

Actually, the burger place near my house uses blue cheese for their burger, and it tastes surprisingly good. It kinda makes sense now watching this video!
6:09 or option c it tastes good because they're all different they aren't similar therefore they each have a role to play and they don't have to fight offer dominance
Do a grill cheese episode. Different bread types, cheese, other things.
My personal recommendation is wheat bread, butter spread on outside, honey mustard thinly spread on inside buns and a slice of america, shredded cheddar and than Muenster cheese. Cooked on medium slowly to perfection. My perfect grilled cheese. Oh yeah and it’s cooked on a cast iron griddle
I second the grilled cheese episode. My grilled cheese is: Garlic butter spread on the outside of wheat bread, Dijon mustard or spicy mustard on the inside with Muenster cheese (two slices) on the inside to completely cover the inside. I, too, cook in cast iron. Every so often I'll add some spices to the garlic butter blend (cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes and some basil or oregano).
Make sure to include that you can use Mayo instead of butter based spreads and it comes out pretty good
You need to try sprinkling shredded cheese on the outside of the bread. It gives you a good crunch and a nice cheese taste.
that idea for a grill cheese episode sounds really good.
There's actually a small restaurant chain in Ohio called Tom & Chee, that literally only serves different kinds of Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese.
Hello, I'm a gastronomy student and I thought I might give my 2 cents on this ep!
So, the aroma pairing was a thing I didn't knew about, but what I knew about is that mixing and matching is very important when it comes to developing dishes, when you make as dish with too many similar flavors it becomes boring and uninteresting, as you just found out, but on the other hand if you make flavors contrast too much there is no harmony in the combinations, it's just flavors for flavors and they won't mix together at all, much less nicely. What you need is balance between the 2, the ideal dish has both elements that mix nicely and blend well together as ingredients that don't much at all and allow you to taste the difference between them. Using the basic burguer as an example you have the lettuce that shows no contrast to the flavor of the patty, as its own flavor is very weak, but it brings out a different texture, same goes for the cheese, it melts into the patty and it's texture becomes basically indistinguishable, but the flavor is different and pronounced when you taste it in a bite! If you think about it and start analysing even the most basic home cooked meal you will see that many of the most common ones work like that too :D
Hope you guys found my comment interesting, have a great day, Theorists!
Thanks
basically food is about balance, there is no need for an entire book
A theory building off of this somewhat that occurred to me, would it then be best to make dishes with contrasting elements that then have elements that bridge that contrast, so the you still do get the contrast but in a more smooth combination?
@@blackmantis1511 as a cook it amazes me how complex people tend to make the science behind the art. See when I am in the kitchen my brain isn't thinking ooh this contrasts with this and this could be something to bridge that contrast, or these pair well together. When I cook I look at the available ingredients and think more of the portions.. I am under the impression that with any list of ingredients something amazing can be made it only matters the amount of each ingredient. I have been cooking this way since I was 17 and am now 22 and in those 5 years have never had a single complaint weather I was cooking for friends, family, catering events, or when I worked in various restaurants.. don't over complicate cooking just make something beautiful and be confident in your judgment.
TL;DR food is balance
I think a mix would really be good, most ingredients being similar and then a few strong contrasts, kind of how you design visuals in tricolor
so, the krabby patty but you replace maybe the salad with something similar and only have the salad there for the crunch
I've been on a burger experimenting kick recently and started playing around with stuffed burgers. My favorite so far is a taco burger. Taco seasoned all beef burger, stuffed with sour cream, salsa and shredded cheddar. Condiments are salsa or queso and sour cream. Toppings are shredded lettuce, diced tomato, cheddar cheese (or sub in doritos to give the taco shell crunch AND cheesy flavor) and it's all sandwiched on a toasted brioche bun. If i had to pick a last meal, this may be it lol.
Bit of a side note, my first attempt was using the basic taco toppings, but I plan to change it up in the future

We do a burger that is really good that has Mac and Cheese (with bits of bacon in it), Fried Onions, mustard (and/or barbeque sauce) and pickles, and we do the burger on a gas grill. (occasionally we'll smoke it but for the most part we do it in the grill.) and the cheese combination for the Mac and Cheese is Mild Cheddar, Smoked Ghouda, and Smoked Pepperjack. and we have found that it is one of the best burgers we've ever had.

As a fry cook who used to work at a local burger place: There's so many good burger toppings (blue cheese, mushrooms, avocado, bacon, fried eggs) but I think what makes or breaks a burger is how you season the meat itself. If the meat is bland it kinda sucks the flavor out of all the other ingredients.
I love eggs on burgers. I actually like eggs even on pizza. Often I order burger or pizza with egg if there isn't one already.
@@patrikpolda Scrambled Eggs or the kind we eat on breakfast?

I don't know about perfect toppings, but I know what you mix into the meat makes a big difference too. My husband and I like to add teriyaki to the mead before grilling it, gives it a sweet taste. Definitely recommend.
Exactly! Good food is about contrasts of flavors. I always like one primary flavor with multiple similar tastes and then accent flavors for contrast!
The secret to a good burger in my family isn’t so much about the toppings, but the actual burger itself. We have this great recipe that uses grey poupon, A1, eggs, and panko to create a sort of “meatloaf burger” that has great flavor and is especially juicy
That. Sounds. Delicious~!!!
Yuck
I hate A1 and your just eating meatloaf on a bun really
Thats pretty similar to how my dad make burgers when I was growing up. Always tasty
I think this works well with my contrast theory- the crunchy panko, and the creamy ingredients would be a good one-two punch all by itself... one would think...
However I've tried meatloaf like this and, yes, it's delicious, but you don't really taste the "creamy ingredients", per say. So I would wager a bree cheese would go well. Leaning again towards slapping a pineapple slice on bottom (good sweet contrast with your salty meatloaf). Anyone daring enough to try?
"Bacon is the aimbot of burgers" probably my new favorite MattPatt quote
No particular recipe, but one store near me sells a Honey Mustard sauce that I love putting on just about anything. Also any kind of of aioli, my family likes bacon and chipotle, could add some much needed flavour and contrast.

As for the rest of the ingredients, use spinich, crispy bacon, sharp cheddar, caramelized onions, extra-garlic dill pickle slices, tangy mayo (which I just combine mayo and mustard) on the bottom bun, and spicy ketchup (ketchup and Frank's RedHot) on the top.
And toast the bun. That is important.
I have a weird recipe, I made a sandwich with stuff that was in my house, so I didn't use a burger patty.
I used the following: sourdough, mayo spread on both slices, sliced Havarti cheese (which tastes like butter) on both sides, pepperoni on both sides, and pretzel slims everything (like an everything bagel).
It sounds weird, but it was pretty good, it was spicy, so if you like spicy stuff, I recommend it. It's probably mild spicy, but I thought it was good. Without the pretzels it was surprisingly plain or I could only taste the bread. And I wanted something that crunched and I didn't have normal pretzels. Also, I like pepperoni and I didn't have any other meat in the house.
I don't expect you to try it, but it would be pretty cool if you did.

Moral of this Episode: If EVERYTHING has an outstanding flavor, nothing has. Basically "unique" would just be the new norm.
Syndrome was right all along
Not really.
Doing analogies to music theory (that's what I'm more familiar with, as I'm just a beginner home-cook), what they basically did was writing a piece with only an A-Part in the beginning and for the final test they wrote a piece with so many and frequently changing parts that the music ended up without any actual structure and just clusterfucked notes together without a proper harmonic progression.
It's not that 'Nothing was outstanding' in the final experiment.
It's rather that none of the different flavours were supporting each other to create different harmonies which would in the end contrast each other.
They had many different tastes and that's what they liked.
But they'd have had to add either bonus components which matched with each member of their set to strengthen them, or add bridge-ingredients between the components to make them loosely blend.
It's not like everything had outstanding flavour.
More simple, none of the flavours that could've been outstanding were properly supported.
If you'd like it more in a video-game way:
They had multiple damage dealers in different teams, but neither of them was supported by either a tank or a healer and they couldn't team up whiti each other because there were no diplomats.
What I like to do when designing recipes this way is that I choose ingredients with a similar flavour profile to the main ingredient and then try to chain more ingredients onto the first generations which diverge more and more away from the main ingredient and the other 'flavour-pillars' that move away from the main ingredient in the central.
This way, I get a lot of contrasting flavours which are bridged to each other with the central ingredients, creating harmony and dissonance.
You can see this approach in a lot of Mahlers symphonies (which I can only recommend).
Very strong structures with a lot of contrast but properly supported through bridging parts, making each repetition of the central ideas an interesting and attention-grabbing contrast, despite the movement already having surpassed the 30 minutes mark.
despite having the symphony already been 'dragging on' longer than one hour.
Simply beautiful.
Listen to Mahlers symphonies pls.
This is only one of many valid approaches though.
For a couple years now, I have made a burger sauce that also works well for fries. It is roughly equal parts mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and hoisin sauce. Adds sweetness and spice, and the sriracha which is normally runny has something to help it stay on the burger. Of course, for fries and tots, I double the mayo so it doesn't overpower the fries. Nobody who I have told about it has actually thought to try it, and just dismiss it as weird.
I will try it! I love adventure. I already have 2 types of hoison & vegan mayo. I Gotta buy the Sriracha, though. I normally get my spice from homemade salsa. Great grandma recipe.
I'm definitely late, but my burger recipe is pretty simple and pretty great, in my opinion. Especially if you want to write truffles off as a business expense. So its brioche burger bun, a thick truffle cream sauce made with mayonnaise, truffle oil (and I add in shaved truffle too if I have it), 1 clove of garlic, and some fresh lemon juice. I pair this with crispy fried onions, the flavor and texture pairing well with the burger, and melt a little brie on top of the paddy before adding the truffle sauce. Even if you want to make this on your own time, trust me your taste buds will sing

@@birdie394 that's just sad what kind of burger has no meat unless your a vegetarian
For my favorite burgers, I like putting sweet onion inside the patty before cooking. That way you get grilled onion INSIDE the burger. So good.
As a chef when creating a recipe you are looking for balance of flavors that blend and complement and flavors that oppose and challenge each other. The same for textures. Then all this goes through another added layer of complexity when considering the effects of prep, time, and storage.
"Bacon is like the AimBot of burgers..."
I agree wholeheartedly. If you really want to turn on God mode, toast your buns, add a couple strips of bacon, maybe make a simple aioli for the top and bottom bun, and you can literally put anything else you want on it. It will make it at least twice as good.

@@GGolden2500 Yeah, I've been getting so many of those recently for some reason. I've just started reporting them.
Burger bacon has to be extremely crispy for it to be good in my opinion
Clashing ingredients, that sounds like cooking out of "Food wars"
Was hoping for mat to get a food gasm
@@titaniumwolf8756 We can only hope, we can only hope.
I'm several months late to the burger party but I once went to a restaurant that had a burger with bacon and jiffy peanut butter as the main ingredients. Would live to see what you guys do with that info
I like mayo, ketchup, and barbecue for the sauces, sharp cheddar and pepper jack for the cheese and I usually have lettuce, onion, and tomato as well with a burger bun toasted using the toaster in the bagel setting

"I'm sorry my burger is OP and you are jelly" all right that's the highlight of the episode
I agree, it needs to be nerfed. The devs are so lazy with balancing.
from all the burgers i created i think my favorite was, smoked cascaval with a bit of blue cheese, caramelized onions without the sugar method, sunny side egg, lettuce, mushrooms, tomatoes, and can swap the onions with pickled ones
Try marinated (with spices) & barbequed crispy paneer as a top most layer replacing top bun
this actually makes a lot of sense. it’s why weird food combinations exist, because where the combination might be really disgusting sounding, the contrast of two different flavors cancel each other out, creating something delicious for the tastebuds 😋

"its something i put in my mouth"- matpat summarizing food theory research, i'm sure.
My approach is to make the patty itself more interesting. My favorite way to make a burger is to mix Korean BBQ sauce and onions into the patty itself. Them I'm free to just add whatever cheese, leafy greens, and bread I happen to have at the time.
I think having significantly different flavour aromas makes it more interesting for your palate, when trying to make a burger with the most filled green dots just makes it plain and typical unlike a flavourful burger with many things going on
Here's an interesting combo I've tried before:
Monterey jack cheese
Thinly sliced apples (any red apples work, just make sure you fry them before assembly)
Dijon mustard
Chili flakes
Enjoy >:)
That actually sounds amazing
Hmmmmm, uk i might try that
"80% of what we taste is actually smell" now imagine not being able to smell much (like me) or anything at all.
Same I feel you
When people got covid and lost their sense of smell, not only were they feeling ill, they couldn't even have the joy of tasting food :(
No not really I don’t believe that about the smell
My fellow anosmiac, I feel you.
@@KGreen-wz5xr I can confirm. Without smell, taste is kinda gone.
I tried a Burger that had a Portobello mushroom cap in place of the Burger patty (I think there was Avocado on there as well, not sure now, it was a while ago). I've been meaning to try this again but with both the Portobello AND the Burger patty. I suspect the shape of the mushroom would fit well with the Burger patty and I want to play around with the condiment/topping between them.
I usually like adding sweet stuff to a burger. Like bacon jam as a condiment or hawaiian bread buns. Though bacon cheese burger on soft toasted Texas toast has worked fantastically before.
