I be watching these types of videos in the middle of the night with the volume down so my family doesn’t know I’m being a fatass at 3 am

After coming here from The Eater and various other food channels - I have to say, I love the way this guys presents. He speaks casually, and I can really appreciate the overall camera work too!

I love his kitchen. Nice rustic feel, like coming home from a cold winter day and going to the fireplace.

[jesterfacedjuggalo]

Anyone else pee on the side of the toilet at night so you don't make any noise?

I discovered this video 3 years ago and never made anything from YT videos before.., but I can’t tell how many times I’ve made this burger now.., in my opinion it’s also the best burger I’ve ever tasted, and my family and friends says the same. It’s having so much flavour and juiciness with the smokiness from the bacon, the umami from the shiitakes (I can only buy the whole dried, so I just use my blender) and the sauce is just amazing. I found that instead of putting pickles on top, I mix half jalapeños and half pickles in the sauce. Just amazing this recipe. Thanks a lot for sharing this

Im on a strict diet























it's gone

[steviethepianoguy]

I've watched your video so much I've put myself together a burger sauce inspired by you: 2 tablespoons of mayo, 2 tablespoons of mustard, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 2 scoops of relish, 1 teaspoon of bbq sauce, a dash of ranch, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes! yum try it the next time you make burgers
