Self-proclaimed burger scholar George Motz is serving an Oklahoma fried onion burger at his NYC burger joint, Hamburger America, that will win over any onion hater. Their take on the 102-year-old smash burger uses a combination of 75/25 beef, super thinly sliced Vidalia sweet onions, and good ol’ American cheese. This patty is so popular that the restaurant goes through over 250 pounds of onions in just *one* day.

  1. Sorry but a good thicker, juicy burger is gonna be better than a smash 90% of the time. No discussion

  2. I've taken your technique but like a Turkish kufta I add onions into the beef instead (and not as much) and some garlic so now I have this moist crispy garlicy beef patty – its so damn good

  3. You could’ve just said “idk it tastes good when we make ‘em like this” and no one would complain

  4. You guys have never heard of a metaphor before? He’s likening it to an experiment. Relax. Motz knows what he’s doing.

  5. Anyone else tired of seeing gloves on cooking channels? Is there going to be a prostate exam or you are just cooking garbage food?

  6. No. 7k burgers a week is 1k a day. If we say they are open 14h a day thats 71.4 burgers per hour. Or 1.1 burgers a minute. I dont believe they make 1.1 burgers a minute every minute for 14h a day 7 days straight. Bs all day if u do a 24h day its .69 burgers a minute no way a single location is running these numbers.

  7. Why does literally everything have to be a roasting competition in the internet? Mfers in this comment section need to go outside.

  8. This sounds like an AI script. Idk why. Maybe it's the metaphors? I know it's not, but jeez AI is just so permeated everywhere

  9. Making a normal smashburger is better and less messy. I tried this a couple times and prefer the classic.

  10. "Classic American" while they litteraly call it by the Name of Origin "Hamburger" which comes from "Hamburg" a German City xD
