Smashburgers! | Home Movies with Alison Roman

In for Summer 2022: Flat, thin, crispy, griddled smashburgers covered in melted cheese. While the toppings are non-negotiable (large sheets of crunchy iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced raw and frizzled onion, dill pickles, too much mustard), the patty can be meat or plant-based with near identical experiences, reminding yourself a smashburger is truly about the sum of its parts. We’re not reinventing the wheel, but we are showing you how to make your new favorite burger.

The passion about what is and is not acceptable on a burger at the beginning had me LOL’ing. Iconic.

[laurenjohnson]

This video deserves an Emmy for the emotional performance. Bravo Alison - one can only aspire to be this passionate and aggressive about burgers.

[nxcfndh]

This is so chaotic and I'm living for it, another Queen Roman masterclass on cooking

[rebeccahart]

Allison: works on R+D for a burger place. learns her burger opinions are unpopular. proceeds to create a video lecture of her unpopular burger opinions. 🏆

[DowntownDiva]

This is the most chaotic Alison video to date- and I am HERE for it.

[kylelysher]

Finally having a new Home Movie made me a bit more emotional than I expected, but I'm so damned excited to see/hear y'all again. Pickles and Mustard piled high for life.

[amandadanielle]

We missed you, Alison! Don’t ever leave us again lol

[justinhuertas]

One method from Carla Lalli Music that I use when I smash burgers is using 2 spatulas -- one for the surface area of the burger and the other you use the heel/handle to push down on the first spatula. I found it super useful for optimum smashing!

[andrewfarrell]

The combo of cooked and raw onion is key. You are so right.

[SK]

“I don’t care for sandwiches” might be the most incomprehensible thing I’ve ever heard you say! :( The Sandwich is the perfect food

[kstepk]

The pickiness is absurd and I’m here for it. She back! Woo woo

[venividivixen]

"If you come at me with that cheddar, I👏don't 👏want 👏it" (crew losing it in the background)
I'm <4 minutes into the video and already dying howling at the passionate opinions.

i would never voluntarily eat a burger with such an abundance of onion...but I am glad it makes you happy and I am happy to see the return of home movies

[sarahbryant]

Confession time.
Today I recommended an Alison Roman recipe to a colleague. And I told her, my “FRIEND” has a recipe for tuna you would love 😂 It had already left my mouth when I realized I called a YouTube stranger a friend lol. So cheers to you, friend 💕

[agwandthegroo]

That sliding you experienced is the best argument for shredduce. The texture of the shreds sorta grips the top bun, as opposed to the slick surface of those lettuce sheets which definitely encourages the slide. Besides that necessary function, a fresh pile of green shreds is absolutely crunchy and delicious. Other than that, your burger is perfect...once you add ketchup, lol.

[silvia_music]

I made these tonight and wow. So simple, so quick and the most delicious burgers ever! We’ll be making these again!

[jocelynferger]

Alison Roman, how we have all missed you!!!💖

[katiekirk]

Alison! Why so much hate for a sliced, beautifully ripe tomato on a smash burger? It's perfection!

[wonderhunter]

I've literally been on the edge of my seat waiting for a new Home Movie. Also, I've found cooking out of Nothing Fancy has really filled the void during the break (not sponsored).

[TheLettybird]

I was so worried you had stopped doing these! Thank you for coming back. x
