What’s with the negative comments. It’s a burger. Easy to make. Don’t like it don’t make it. Thanks Frank. We love you.

So many restaurants put way too much stuff on their burgers - like you said, the tomatoes can make it slimey and slippery and hard to eat. I completely agree with you - KEEP IT SIMPLE!

I cant believe they don't call this series 'Prototyping' :D

Since it's Frank I was expecting him to make his own buns as well.

Loved that technique of encasing the burger as it came out of the pan.
Solid burger, nice and simple.

[gavingonder]

the fact that nobody is talking about him using fry sauce is blowing my mind

[jojobi-wankenobi]

That you bit the burger with the bottom on top is madness.

Great video! Like you said, best part about it is you get to choose your ingredients! Everyone likes different styles, but the tips you gave on ingredients and cooking I found very helpful. Thank you!

Here in Italy the mixture of Ketchup & Maionnaise is commonly used (with fries, burger, etc.), and is called "Salsa Rosa" - "Pink Sauce" (for obvious reasons...😸)

One thing Frank did but did not mention, ONLY FLIP ONCE. Never flip too early, patience is key.

Also, Frank, YOU EAT YOUR BURGER UPSIDE DOWN LIKE A MONSTER!!! just kidding… GREAT video!
