    He’s totally clueless about making burgers. He’s a world class chef, but he
    applies high class chef techniques to everything he makes, including foods
    where it’s detrimental, like burgers, which should be simple and about the
    beef, not full of egg yolks, diced onions, and salt throughout (mixing salt
    in destroys the texture of ground beef and makes it rubbery like a sausage)

    This “chef” Doesn’t know Diddly do da about America burgers.
    What he just make was a meat loaf paste then formed it into a round shape
    to fit a bun.
    A burger needs fat, min 20%, 30% better, you don’t compress the meat, you
    shape it loosly then put it on a grill and leave it turn it once and leave
    it (don’t forget the old finger in the middle) put some salt and pepper
    THAT’S IT, you can ADD onions cheese, BUT this is the BASIC BURGER.

    I love Gordon, but you do NOT put fucking eggs and shit in the hamburger.
    Should be criminal to do stupid shit like that.

    package of ground beef with salt and pepper is the only way to do it pff.

    gordon doesn’t know how to make a burger. when you pack it together like
    that it doesn’t brown right, you just end up with a greasy lump of shit
    that’s not properly cooked all the way through. a good burger should be
    made so that the patty just barely holds together and once it’s not on the
    grill it shouldn’t be smashed (smashing before the fat is rendered is ok)
    otherwise it’ll be dry garbage.

    that meat has been overhandled and won’t brown right, look up the malliard
    reaction. you want as much of that as possible to happen and if the meat
    has the texture of a pate then it won’t have enough surface area to brown
    properly

    AS AN AMERICAN I AM DEEPLY OFFENDED BY THIS VIDEO. EACH OF MY FAMILY EATS
    EIGHT BURGERS A DAY, TWO FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER AND BED SNACK. A
    CRUCIAL INGREDIENT GORDON’S RECIPE IS MISSING IS THE FREEDOM OF THE
    AMERICAN PEOPLE. WHEN MY FAMILY EAT AT THE TABLE, WE PRAY TO OUR SAVIOR
    JESUS CHRIST AND WE IMMEDIATELY TIP EACH OTHER BASED ON OUR RELIGIOUS
    PERFORMANCES SHORTLY BEFORE WE GET OUR DAILY CAVITY SEARCH BY T.S.A. GOD
    BLESS AMERIGA!

    That’s not a real hamburger. A hamburger patty is supposed to be ground
    beef and nothing more (except seasoning – salt pepper). When you add onion,
    egg and stuff like that it’s not a real hamburger anymore – it’s a meatloaf
    patty.

    It is really funny too see all this comments on how Gordon make HIS burger
    wrong. The thing is, it is HIS burger, HIS recipe, HIS taste. Someone once
    said, there are no real recipe on food, you could do whatever you like, as
    long it is good.

    “The recipe to the Lela’s burger is top secret… I can tell ya, but I’d
    have to kill you…”

    You mean the recipe that Gordon just did in the first 5 seconds of the
    video?

    Pffft…. A real burger doesn’t have mustard. It has chopped pepper,
    carrot, tomato, candy floss, pecan nuts, bourbon whiskey, corn flakes, eye
    drops, rubber bands, coins and shredded birthday cards. Gordon needs to go
    back to Switzerland.
