To be a real burger pro, you have to understand different ways to dial up flavor. Attaining Burger Lord status involves more than just a fancy cast iron or spatula.

The last burger at 12:15 had so much pink in it you might as well just eat the cow
MSG reactions are not racist crap. I first heard about it from a relative who used Accent and got a bad headache. Chicago area Chinese restaurants still commonly put a note ‘ask for no MSG’, but they aren’t the only places you find MSG. Processed foods commonly use MSG.
This guy must be a racist, to associate a widely used spice with a single ethnicity.
Ok… I just want to say, that I have this aunt that for years would say there were certain restaurants she couldnt eat at because it would make her feel wired and she couldnt sleep. The family as well as myself thought this was complete nonsense and that it must be 100% psychosomatic (shes kinda the type).. aaanyways a few years ago we went to this really horrible vietnamese restaurant in a small town in northern Canada (Vietnamese food is my favourite thing in the universe) and they had tried to replicate bone broth by adding obscene amounts of MSG to save money I guess. That whole night and part of the next day afterword I couldnt sleep, I had these weird panic attacks, I was super restless, it was all kinds of weird. So im not saying that 100% of people respond to msg adversely, but I do think that it is definitely possible..
No mayonnaise or ketchup on hamburgers. Mayonnaise is slimy and gross and is used as as fat substitute. Use and 90/20 blend and mix in some bread crumbs oi rice flour to absorb the fat. and you don't need a fat substitute. Ketchup makes everything taste the same like prison food. It it has a sweet cloying taste that should be reserved for french fried potatoes. As the British say meat needs mustard. A good brisk mustard to cut the fat. Mix a little dill pickle juice into ordinary salad mustard and you have the perfect hamburger topping.
I mix some worcestershire sauce, pepper, roasted garlic powder, onion powder (or diced onion is even better) into the meat before balling up. It makes magic umami smash burgers. Sometimes after the first flip I'll put some habanero sauce on and then the cheese (I get a muenster jack mix slices) to have it meld while it melts, then spread some mayo on the buns to add a little cruststurdiness to them as well.
IF…. You ever find yourself in Jacksboro Texas. You absolutely- positively need to go to 100 year old Herds Burgers It's a smashed burger on a griddle, no frills. Get your own bottled drink from the cooler and chips from the rack
I f you ask for Jalapenos, you will get a mountain of Jalapenos. They serve it in a brown paper bag…you wont make it 2 blocks before you eat it.
Place is awesome, don't blink or you will drive right past it.
yo did this mans just call umami "MSG" ?! its a fucking breakdown of flavors, son. With the glutamines and shyt, You can't just get the same savory flavor with some 'MSG' sprinkles
Another white Douche comparing not eating too much msg to racism… 🤦🏻♂️ has negative effects and he lists a few but you have to eat it otherwise yours racist….
I get headaches when I eat too much msg…. eat a bag of D’s liberal pandering douche!!!
I'm coming in late here, but to address those calling the defense of MSG "unscientific" or "SJW propaganda," you truly do not understand what you're talking about.
Firstly, particularly in the USA, there was a longstanding crusade against MSG in connection to its use in Chinese restaurants, and this crusade was very racially-charged, especially in media coverage on the issue. That's the racism allegation covered.
Secondly, there is no evidence (none) that normal doses of MSG are harmful to humans. Studies you may find ("with two minutes of Googling") that may, to you, state as such, are in fact discussing glutamic acid's function as a neurotransmitter. Massive doses injected into lab mice have been shown to cause neuron death or other harmful effects. I repeat- a MASSIVE dose injected into MICE. As with table salt, following the FDA's guidelines on a safe amount of MSG to consume in one day will keep you safe.
Lastly, concerns that there is a fundamental difference between naturally-occurring glutamic acid found in certain foods and synthesized MSG are unsubstantiated. Fear-mongering about "chemicals" shouldn't lead you to forget that all things have a chemical makeup.
TL;DR: In the West, media coverage on the scientific debate surrounding MSG were at one point racially-tinged, and claims that MSG is harmful to humans are scientifically-unsubstantiated.

OHHH YEAH GOTTAQ DO BOTH

Make him a co-host
Science man has very progressive views on msg. He is too woke
The ending was absolutely useless, pointless and wasteful.

Y'all fucking lost y'all mind saying umami so many fucking times
Theres something really annoying about this video i cant figure out what it is
This is a weird episode. Also, saying “right” for like a solid minute and a half doesn’t mean conversation. Just stop talking and let him explain.
Game: Drink everytime either one of them says Umami.
