The Cheeseburger Fatty Melt | Kenji's Cooking Show

[skriller]

Props to the cameraman for sitting on Kenji's head and filming the entire time

[IAttackYou]

I'm going to miss seeing Shabu's cheerful face. Rest well sweet pup.

[relativeus]

Kenji's dog has a seriously great gig over there.

[grimtv]

It's basically Kenji's Sandwich Show at this point and I'm completely here for it

[NerdMiGerd]

As a dude born and raised in Philly there's just something so special about the combination of beef, onions, and cheese for me. Now I'm definitely craving one of these.

Back in the day a place nearby had this on the menu as the American Dream. I tried to order one for delivery on an extremely hungover New Years Day, and after four hours I realized it was never arriving. That was the day the American Dream died

from "every night is pizza night" to pizza once a week...how the mighty have fallen (this is a joke)

[shawnmiguel]

i laughed so hard at the "yes, you can have a third grilled cheese in the middle" perfectly timed with the exact thought in my head

[MrAqr]

6:17~ In Japanese junior high schools(7~9th grade), the first two things we look at under the microscope are: onion skin(the thin, translucent film on the inside of onion peels) and human mouth cells(you gently rub off the inner lining of your mouth with a q-tip, so the surface cells can be placed on a microscope slide.)

[Tst]

I cooked your smash burgers for the family this weekend and they were a huge hit. Thanks Kenji

[nolansykinsley]

Oh my god, this reminds me of a time a few years back when I visited a local restaurant with my grandpa and I saw a "double grilled cheese burger" on the menu, I thought that sounded good, a double cheeseburger but made like a grilled cheese, so ordered one. My grandpa decided to order one too. You should have seen the look on our face when it came out and it was a double cheeseburger like yours with a grilled cheese sandwich for each bun! It was exactly this but regular burgers and no onions! Oh my, I could only eat half, my poor grandpa could only muster a few bites! I was wondering why you were giving such a warning, I though "this is not bad for two burgers, doesn't seem much different", once I realized this was ONE serving... oh the memories came flooding back!

[ImSpartacus]

My boy Kenji is on an onion rampage and I'm so down for this.

[thomasthomeson]

As someone who leaves butter out, you don't have to leave out a whole stick at once. You can just leave out enough for a couple slices of bread per person who uses it and replace the butter as it runs out. Just make sure to wash the dish regularly so that it doesn't get rancid butter on it

That said I'm still in the butter the griddle gang

[brandondavis]

I’ve had this before as a Dead Texan. The “rub” being that the grilled cheese sandwiches had pickled jalapeño slices in the middle, and the cheese may have been some sort of pepper Jack.

[jokerlaughsfirst]

Kenji is out here logically explaining anytime, sometime, and never food while other people are making sandwiches out of wagyu steaks with a whole pizza in the middle just because it's a Tuesday.

[jeffsstuff]

Looks good and “almost never food” or not, I’m going to make it (and I’ll be thinking of Josh when I eat it! Thank you for remembering him here.

[boarsnout]

Always food. Sometimes food and almost never food. That's great parenting. All of my friends are starting to have kids now and the one thing I notice is how a lot of people don't know how to feed their kids properly. That's a fantastically simple breakdown of how you can relay that understanding to a child.

[Onneton]

*sees someone slicing onions*
My brain: "Don't say it! Don't!"
Me: "Did you know that slicing the onion pole to pole ruptures less cells leading to less pungent flavour?"

[tomokoichi]

Seeing Shabu on the thumbnail made me want to cry. I'm seeing this after her passing. My condolences to you and family.

[FeloniousFunk]

I enjoyed the Ozersky story Kenji, thanks for that. I’ll be putting his hamburger book on my list of things to read this year.
