the irony is that I've never seen this many comments actually get motivated to cook just out of spite 🤣🤣🤣
He's an inspiration!!😂
Blackstone prob saw a 15% sales increase after this video 😂
Never underestimate the stubbornness of insecure people =)
😂😂😂 he really thinks his the one and only
No spite here.
Hate? Yes.
I don't like how much emphasis is put on "you can't make this" and "you don't have this"
Yeah it bugged me also. A very deragatory tone!
i think hes just trolling us
@@RiceBiscuit I think he was encouraged to speak that way by the producers
But I can't, and I don't 😭
Why?
TLDW Things you "cant do":
75/25 beef - The butcher at any supermarket will do this for you for. or do it yourself If you have the tools.
Flat top - Amazon
Custom salt blend - Most likely salt pepper and msg. though yeah, he's not telling.
Sesame seed milk bread. - you can make this if you have the time or care to do so.
Kimchee mayo - You can make this.
Roasted scallion oil - Super easy to make, look it up.
Thank you. Its insulting to tell us we cant do this and that when you clearly can!
i already have a vulcan 6 burner 2 range with salamander and griddle in my kitchen
Ok snowflake
@@seshmarlswow how much did that cost to install?
@@christopherjaquez1575 I'm sorry you took this personally. It wasn't my intent.
Wow, what an extremely humble guy, must be amazing working in his kitchen!
NYC vibes lol
😂😂😂😂
Are you autistic, or how did you miss the vibe if this video?
Dude lost all my respect when he said his favorite burger was a big mac, and he loves american cheese. Gross ew.
@@JessicaMessicaTVHe’s arrogant, but american cheese is the best cheese for burgers. Nothing else melts quite like it.
I am just so glad he let me know I can't do anything to make this burger. Its just how I love to be treated by watching recipes online
😂😂
nah given how many comments this video got this is the exact engagement they were looking for, props to BA! Someone over there knows exactly what they're doing.
lol same
@fameless. Masses, they’re not the smartest, you’re part of them though.
dont be a weak
75/25 is available at my local Aldi.
Wow he came up with toasting buns all by himself?!?! He should be cooking for the 👑
My thoughts exactly LOL
Lmao yes
I was thinking, the fact he WASN'T toasting the buns in the first place makes him lose all credibility!
I am now confident that I can’t do anything. I needed to know this about myself. Thank you, Bon Appétit. I’m going to eat glue now.
way to show off that you are the only person that can eat glue
Hilarious ❤
🤣🤣🤣
most OP funny coment on this section ! the rest is just bunch of triggered persons
I'd rather celebrate food, culture and sharing ideas than being talked down to for thirteen minutes about how "you don't have this, you can't do that." Who needs that kind of negativity? It's not "cool" or "admirable."
I was watching on tv so I couldn’t comment but I was getting annoyed by this guy. Came to see if I wasn’t the only one
That's... the whole point of the video. He was being funny, and some of us find it funny. You really that hurt about it?
It's the concept of the show that BA created. Relax.
@@nowthatsurban He's not being funny, he's being an obnoxious arsehole, if you find that funny, that says a lot more about you then it does the rest of us.
how is it funny? explain @@nowthatsurban
I love how the second patti wasn’t working out and swapped for a new Pattie’s off screen 🤣🤣
They 100% did that
Nah is was the same patty. You can see it was still split, but he probably formed it off camera then added cheese. I know im a chef, lol...
@@otisdickerson2991That's 100% a cope, that was a different patty!
5:17 how many thousands of burgers did you make before you stumbled upon the epiphany of toasting the buns?
HAHA, I was thinking the same thing.
Wow where did this guy manage to source cucumbers? This recipe is insane and out of reach. MAYO TOO?
😂
My question is, how does he manage to pickle cucumbers properly within 24-48 hours??? Because I can guarantee you those are cucumbers with vinegar, not pickles. Do they look like pickles? No they don't. You can't pickle something with vinegar overnight. What a tool
a cooking channel telling their audience they 'can´t make' something feels like admitting they can´t teach it
exactly
Agree 100%.
I don't think anything he says about the burger makes it impossible for the average to make. I think he was just making a joke.
Pretty ignorant video honestly in how it was presented imo
Lmao they changed the title. Cowards
this was a very interesting way to make me never wanna eat there
Loool
No big loss...
Oh wow this is the only guy on earth capable of cooking, that's crazy I didn't think he would ever come forward
Woke projection never fails.
How condescending Bon Appetit... You're really telling your audience you don't have pretty basic tools / ingredients.
Yes, especially when a lot of their formats and the whole concept is to make cooking accessible.
it's condescending to say you can't make a burger as well as..... someone owns a burger restaurant and makes 1k/week? Are you serious? Get real! It's tongue-and-cheek.
@TheShelbinator3000 we just love watching a video of how to cook only for the chef to tell us we can't cook. We will go eat glue now 😂. Dude didn't even make anything crazy that's a basic meal and he acting like the audience is poor
i bet you i can make that 😂
🤣
😝
Same thing I said.
my thoughts EXACTLTY I was like aight bet
Exactly! This guy is a joke! Only thing he has is a inflated ego.
"Why the best Cheeseburger in NYC is so special" or "what makes the best cheeseburger in NYC so unique?" would have been much better, far less passive-aggressive titles
Idk if it's the best burger in NYC.
You obviously don't understand RUclips trends. These are common types of titles to get people to engage, which pushes through the algorithm. Also, the chef also said the same phrase in the video, it's a play on his words. Relax.
they're trying to farm engagement and you're falling for it, bozo. its supposed to be controversial, and its still true.
@@TheOriginalArchieYes, but after watching and complaining about this, who is going to watch the next 'You Can't Make This' video? It's a shortsighted engagement practice.
Aggressive click-bait titles are all the rage.
This is super lame. I can make my OWN proprietary beef blend that THEY can't get lol.
This dude invented the burger, toasting bread, meat ratio, toppings, cooking, flat tops.... etc
I love the way Chef Lee explained the reasons behind why each layer is when putting the burger up, but I skipped so much content because a big bunch of that video felt pretentious AF.
I mean, with how much effort he put in the burger I feel it's a bit of well deserved pride.
wasn't even all that high on the pretentious scale for us asians lmao.
Alot of store owners here in Japan also flex over eachother with their food like this but the upside is that you can find some really really amazing food in small-medium communities in the countryside like a sort of kodoku without all them dirt cheap chainstores running everyone else out of business.
Strong opinions and a high standard of cooking: pretentious apparently.
Omg 1:10 seconds in i was already tired of hearing him “cant get this anywhere else made just for us “ like okay we get it 😂
processed American cheese = natural glue?
I think he’s been huffing too much natural glue.
I stopped watching at this part and had to scroll to the comments. I wouldn't trust a cook that describes American Cheese as "natural" in any sense of the word.
@@johnathantaylor5913 What exactly is not natural "in any sense of the word” about anything in this ingredient list?
Kraft Deli Deluxe American Cheese Slices:
ingredients. American Cheese (Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes), Water, Milkfat, Sodium Citrate, Calcium Phosphate, Salt, Sodium Phosphate, Sorbic Acid As A Preservative, Oleoresin Paprika (Color), Annatto (Color), With Sunflower Lecithin Added For Slice Separation.
@@fordhouse8bThe FDA calls it “pasteurized processed American cheese food.” In order for a food product to be a true “cheese,” it has to be more than half cheese, which is technically pressed curds of milk. Each Kraft American single contains less than 51% curds, which means it doesn't meet the FDA's standard.
Was looking for this comment. You can´t do this, you can´t do that, but puts that thing on the burguer an calls it "natural". What a clown 🤣
Know your audience - this isn't TikTok. BA is more of a resource, for most of us, than it is entertainment.
"You can't order that meat to your house"
Yeh bro but I can do it myself. And honestly pre ground pre portioned patties for a top notch restaurant is lazy af 😂
you won't do it yourself though chief.
Outside of the buns this would be actually really easy to replicate. Guys ego is unreal for someone that makes average looking food
My thoughts exactly - seeing his burger I'd rather eat mine EVERY TIME.
milk bread is pretty straightforward to make, to be honest.
Arrogant SOB? With a meat grinder or a chef's knife you can blend your own mix. A flat top grill is easy to replicate with a thick piece of steel and gas/charcoal grill. Thanks for letting me know which restaurant I should avoid!
It's probably the format of the series rather than the actual guy, don't hate him too much!
nah given how many comments this video got this is the exact engagement they were looking for, props to BA! Someone over there knows exactly what they're doing.
Wow so I can't have his exact meat and his exact bun? No way amazing!
You honestly probably could do the exact thing if you chatted it up with a local baker and butcher lol
@@duncandickenbals Absolutely :)
I literally saw a 75/25 blend at Whole Foods this week.
what a humble guy
With the amount of backlash this video is receiving, I doubt they will continue this style/series of video
I hope this doesn't hurt Chef Jae Lee and Nowon too bad, since I could feel that he was at least very passionate about his craft.
They've retitled the video to something a little less aggressive 😂
Oh we want his big head and tiny k-dick hurt tho lmao
The restaurant menu lists this as a $21 burger. It does not look like a $21 burger. He's hurting his own business by trying to appear avant garde.
nah given how many comments this video got this is the exact engagement they were looking for, props to BA! Someone over there knows exactly what they're doing.
They made a few bucks off comments because they shot themselves in the privates for gains@@fameless0
This whole thing is so unlikeable
Wow amazing how things can be misinterpreted. The whole time I’m watching I’m like I like this guy, you can see the passion and love he puts into his food, then I come to the comments and he’s being bashed. I think he stuck with the theme of the series. I enjoyed him
You dont know what i can and cannot do my dude. That was just a cheese burger. I have a flat top. I have a mandolin. I make my pickles, i make my kimchi and i make my own meat blends.....this is a weekday burger.
THIS
GET EM
This has to be BA’s worst piece posted to date. This dude just flexing on everything we can’t have
Agree 1000%!
One of which is affording the burger
Hard to call it a flex when anyone with a brain and a modicum of cooking could replicate it, lol. 😂
Which is bs because you CAN get all of this super super easy
Man’s acting like he’s got the Krabby Patty secret formula or something lol it’s just a burger
Are ya feeling it now Mr Krabs?
Exactly what I thought. But then again I bet there really aren't that many people who can tell the exact recipe of this burger.
FYFY : Chef Jae Lee makes a hamburger that anyone with modest cooking skills can recreate. Bon Appetit insults audience by saying they can't cook, and that only "professionals" can make hamburgers. On next week episodes, we will learn how only true chefs can make Lemonaid.
Resting the burgers makes them better...Ironically, that's something places like McDonald's and Burger King actually do - but not intentionally.
maybe this guy did it first but kimchi in a burg is pretty common in Australia
Korea did it first
Not yet in my part of straya; but they already had them in fusion restaurants when I visited California on holiday over a decade ago. I swear some new yorkers take their location as licence to be arrogant blowhards. lol
@@anasevi9456Had one in Chicago about 8-10 years ago as well.
@@anasevi9456 australian food scene is way bwyond the US
Why is this guy so adamant about getting his point across about what he ‘thinks’ others can’t do? It was interesting at first and then started to feel a bit insulting. Lol I hope someone makes this to shut this guy up! 😂
That's probably how they asked him to frame it... which unfortunately makes him look bad, when he seems like a nice guy.
Word of honor for his garlic peeler.
Word. They looked beautiful prepped.
Joshua Weissman probably: Challenge accepted. 😂
But better
When you have to write a 7,500 word essay. LMAO
The passion he puts into his food is just fantastic to see. You can’t duplicate that passion and effort. Great job. Wish I was in NY because I would be eating there today!!
Omg HOW HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT TOASTING THE BUNS?? GENIUS!! 👏
I feel like he's trying to offend me or something
'You can't order beef like this'
Then proceeds to display the most common mix of beef distributed.
@@nopiezforyou seriously, what a punchable smug face when he says that
i think hes just trolling
He is a tool. And a great example of why I hate the food network and the mentality it produces. This guy is the type of example I use when educating my apprentices about who not to be in this industry.
Lol
Did he called american chesse "natural"???
even after being told repeatedly that it's a burger i can't make, i can't deny that i do want to give it a try
I can't decide if the smugness of the guy or the concept of "you can't make this" is the more offputting thing
Both
The smugness is somewhat annoying (but seen in many food show to make the food more......important?)
, but the tone, title and description just make it 10x worse
"I don´t peel that, I gotta guy that peels that" such a weird flex hahahahaha
I bet the turnover in his kitchen is insane
Alright, this video is dumb. After 60 seconds, I've seen enough to call it.
He’s the type to take a girl on a date and only talk about himself the entire time.
SO well said!!
Girl, you can't crush beef like me. Watch
Its his favorite topic lol
You can't make me come like I make myself come. You just can't do it. It's impossible.
😂😂😂😂
"You can't find this kitchen in your own kitchen" Bon App are overplaying the 'concept' here. We get it.
The question becomes not “Can i make it?” But, “How does one feel at the end of the day, with this guys mindset.. Is he happy or as annoyed with himself as i am watching his video?”
nobody can have that kinda reaction after making and tasting his own burgers for 4 years, such a facade
Hates Brioche because it over powers the beef. Proceeds to add overpowering kimchi and sauce
Japanese milk bread and brioche are pretty much the same bread. Milk bread just adds milk power or sometimes condensed milk or actual milk.
No, a lot of milk bread uses a tangzhong.
Seems fairly pale. I'm guessing there's less egg yolk
I am getting the feeling that this guy might be Korean
Nice. I've been putting kimchi on burgers for a while, but I've never roasted it like that before. I'll definitely try it.
this looks gross ! but I still want to try it lol, do you have a recpie ?
Chef is amazed that he brilliantly managed to create this cheeseburger which he sells for $21 currently (and is available for much less at ANY truck stop.)
Average chef : *takes steak with fingers, flip it*
This guy holding buns after toasting them : "OmG mY fInGerS aRe bUrnInG"
I'm a homecook and fingers aren't burning... this is a joke. This guy ain't cooking his his own kitchen lmfao
I just finished watching the video and I want my 13 minutes back. I watch bon appetit for its light and wholesome vibe but this guy was just pretentious and off putting
Never met anyone overly confident and loving what they do?!
Dude's clearly passionate about his job. The tone just didn't land well.
Blud is out here describing his burger like Apple introduces their every iphone.
Who are you to tell anyone what they can and cannot do; and what people don't have.
Making a mental note: if I ever visit New York, go eat a burger at Nowon... 😁😉
I guarantee that I could get any of these ingredients and blends at one store lmao, buddy is a bit cocky about his burger
GARLICCC “I don’t peel that another guy does that” 😂😂😂
I just had this exact same burger and sauce. It was 6/10. Mid at best. The tater tots were fantastic though. Very crispy and nice seasoning.
A big plancha/flat top is one of the first things im buying when i have the space. Just seems like such a versatile and fun way to cook.
joshua weissman laughing watching this and says easy i can make it but better
This M’Fer acts like he invented the burger 😂
So I guess this is BA now huh. No more test kitchen personalities?
The same week that I unfollowed Bon Appetite mag!
He has succeeded in one thing only- making a burger something that it is not: complicated. It’s a novelty. It’s a bougie-wannabe on a bun with more acne than a teenager. A burger, like pizza, is a food of the people. That’s something he … can’t make.
You are making burgers dude, take it down a notch. I have worked in a lot of kitchens I would run for the hills...
His restaurant is Nowon in the East Village in case you accidentaly go
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!!
But I'm sure that was the point of these videos
Also I love that he loves his own food lol
Asian bread is amazing - it's the best thing for tuna salad, too
Whoa toast the buns?!? What an insane technique. As a Korean I don’t want this guy saying he’s Korean.
I mean, I think he is making of us saying we can't make, he can't be serious 😂
weird flex but ok.
It’s not a flex. It’s just a fact. Why are you so threatened lmao
@@redeye1016imagine someone feeling threatened when they say weird flex. Couldn't be OP.
So many weird flexes in this video
Hold my coat...
Where are the test kitchen folks? Haven’t seen them in a hot minute.
Why is everyone so hurt about the pride he has in a burger he's achieved after 50,000 burgers? You won't replicate it, that's why it's art and not just another "best burger in nyc"
I actually like this guy, the way he’s lapping it up for the camera. He’s pretty funny
MSG is the secret haha
I love how he is in the face of 99% which can't cook like that and everyone of those 99% persons is crying in the comments
This guy enjoys life. - Except anyone can make it.
I love this guy. I don’t understand why people don’t get a simple joke. It’s the title of the video fcs.
I actually gotta say despite people taking this video too seriously he clearly shows he's a master at preparing these burgers and making them delicious every time. I can't lie I'd like to taste one of those and learn a thing or two.
Looks amazing!
Dude is so proud of his kraft single burger 😂
George Moetz has logged in ANGRILY
There was a better way to do this content, that being said, burger looks fire and id love to try it bext time I'm in NYC.
This dude lives and breathes burgers day in and out
Can I curse on this? Absolutely
Very funny
This video comes across as very pretentious and classist. “My food is better than yours because my ingredients are custom and expensive.” The irony here is that Kimchi was a method of fermentation that could keep the cabbage fresh through winter so that poor Korean people didn’t starve to death. It wouldn’t seem nearly as bad if he had shown any gratitude for having all his nice equipment and access to ingredients either.
This guy is everything a real chef can't stand.
He is a perfect example of the damage the food channel has done to my industry.
@@Facetiously.EsotericThere's a few like that in the industry to be honest
I got that same vibe 💩
@@Facetiously.Esoteric it very well could be the case that this guy is this insufferable irl bc those kinds of people obviously exist, but to me, it just seems like BA came up with a video/series title first and then asked him prompting/leading questions to get responses that fit the title. just my opinion tho
are you high?
They really took this channel out behind the barn, huh.
