British Chefs Cook in the USA’s Best Burger Restaurant
We travelled to New York to cook at what might be the most important burger restaurant in America — Hamburger America, run by George Motz, the man who has spent his entire career documenting the history of the American burger.
George knows more about burgers than almost anyone alive. He’s smashed over a quarter of a million patties on the same griddle. He uses a bricklayer’s trowel because that’s what every great smash burger cook used in the 1940s. He calls his griddle a “live hamburger museum.” We thought we knew how to cook a burger. We had no idea.
In this video, George teaches Will and Jack how to cook the perfect classic smash burger and the legendary Oklahoma onion burger — the two most iconic burger styles in American culinary history. Then he puts us on the line during a real service to see if either of us is actually up to the job.

no tasting?
3:33 “the highest quality of the simplest”
THIS is how you food. Too many of these cooks turn good food into trash by adding their own twist…. STOP. IT. Just cook me good food.
Me trying to cook Fallow recipes level of awkward.
Man this was so wholsome to watch 👌😂
Can I ask why is the butter / toasted bun machine banned in the UK?
now i can die i saw smash burger )
Should have gone next door to the best burger restaurant in America. Or next to that is the best burger restaurant in America. They're both just a minute away the from best burger restaurant in America
In the US, the cartouche wraps around the burger.
It's my 244345664th youtube video about the best burger in the USA. All in different places.
Loved the question and answer about the bun not being toasted. Each to their own. The constant "Why don't you toast your bun?" comments from people these days are pretty grating.
USA is a fascist regime.
George is the best! Next cook something with Action Bronson
I love how George always bigs up his amazing team.
Chef you burnt the croutons
This guy loves burgers and im all for it.
Depends where they sourced the meat from because companies want us to eat synthetic foods?
When I watch this I truly feel like an american, and by that I mean, it looks so depressing I want to cut my balls off and change pronouns.
Fake News! Best burgers are at Louis' Lunch in New Haven. If you go to New Haven… check out the apizza!!
IMHO, Chicago has the best burgers in the US. Sounds crazy, that's my opinion.
The burger master with the rich tenor voice and the mutton chops. There’s something iconic about him.
Miss his videos he did in his apartment. They are so great.
It’s so cool watching these British fine-dining chefs learning to cook burgers, respectfully observing, asking all kinds of questions like they’re culinary students.
Give me a break. The hyperbole is grotesque. IT'S A HAMBURGER
American "cheese" = not best burger
God, can this Smashburger trend f off allready?
Watching George cook burgers will never get old…
I have dairy cattle and also some crossbred beef heifers. Now I have frozen ground beef from a 10 year old cow, 4 year old cow and from a 2 year old wagyu cross heifer. The wagyu cross meat barely has to touch the pan before it's ready to go. It really cooks super quickly compared to the 10 year old. To make rose thick burger really takes more than double the time with the meat from older cow. The 4 year old is the middle ground. For taste, I like the robust taste of the older cow, but also the fatty moist tenderness of the heifer. The 4 year old is good but still the least remarkable. Just wanted to point out that not all ground beef is similar, even with the same fat content.
after just watching Max Miller from tasting history doing his hard tack (clack,clack) meme, i was wondering… have you guys experimented with hard tack (clack,clack) before?
Interesting to notice that Fallow guys didn't want to taste the burgers at any point, even good American food really is quite questionable. 😀
I had hoped that the Fallow gents would at some point intersect with George Motz, but wrote it off as the idea that British fine dining chefs could cross paths (or even inhabit the same plane of existence) as the giggling human hurricane with the phenomenal sideburns and multiple burn wounds, seemed more or less impossible, but I am very, very happy to be proven wrong.
Cracking up at "most important burger restaurant in the USA" this placed opened two years ago as a tourist attraction lmao
Yo, it was so cool to see some Western culture vibe with the UK energy.
Seeing those employees have fun with all of you was the cherry on top. You guys are the best! Favorite cooking channel hands down.
1:12 alright, Chef, save it til you clock off, yea? fkin cokehead lol
Will & Jack — you need to come to Australia and try one of MY burgers: 150 gm beef, onion, but pre cooked as you go, lettuce, tomato and beetroot; yes!! Toast and butter the bun; add pre-cooked bacon (as you go) and cheese then assemble in this order. Bun, lettuce, tomato, beetroot, beef, onion, bacon cheese then tomato sauce, bun top. Magic!! Cheers.
It doesnt matter what business you are in praising your staff will keep moral high and a happy staff will produce the best results.
I was super excited to try it. It was nice, but sadly, severly underseasoned
Great video ❤ genuine question, do the gloves make it more dangerous for the chef? Do they melt to the hand if you accidentally burnt your hand?
George is the master at burgers!! But, I'd pit my burger up against any of those 🍔 lol.. but those do look delicious! As they should!!🔥
I just don't get the George motz thing. It's a basic burger. I think the internet has lost sight of that and just jumped on the hype train because they are told it's amazing.
My Okie Onion Burger experience comes from years of dining on them in El Reno OK, the OG Home Capital of the Onion Burger. The boys from Fallow did great although for some reason I think they were a little nervous. Will and Jack are great Chefs and I have no doubt they can recreate these burgers at Fallow if they choose to.
Are we going to see a Fallow smash burger recipe, also making your short rib recipe today.
nice to see fallow messing up smashing their first try! makes it normalized for regular ppl
Onions were used to extend restaurants meat supply
I enjoy watching all theee of these guys cook on youtube
Yo we missed the taste test
That's what I love about cooking. You can be the best chef in the world, trying something for the first time, and your peers will laugh at you 😁😁😁😁
Well done chefs always seeking new techniques and recipes
