Eating the Secret and One of the Best Burgers in NYC at Raoul’s 

Dude, I'm addicted to your restaurant reviews. You've given me and my girlfriend so many ideas for where to eat out:)

I am a burger hunter in nyc. Try Rolo's in Queens, Jackson Hole in Manhattan (various locations) and Joe Junior's on 3rd ave.

bro i was sure u had like 500k subs... ur stuff is top notch

This FOOD editorial review is so addicting, you're so well read... and articulate, I am so soothed by your voice for God knows what reason. I can't stop watching... literally the reason why I watched YOU... the way Joe talks lmaooo (I am crying) but in a subtle way you are entertaining to watch and you definitely give so much Value in your videos. THANK YOU!!! And SPEAKING of BOBBY FLAY!!! lolol that's so cool!! I didn't see that coming but I literally just commented that I visited his restaurant here as a kid!!! That's so cool!

I watch your videos as much for the scenes of NYC (I'm slightly nostalgic for the time I had spent in the city in my early youth) as for the food. Congratulations on 10k, I'm sure you'll reach many more subs in time. Keep the dream alive!

I have watched a lot of your videos and I have to say that it astounds me that some woman hasn't scooped you up. You remind me of my fiance in many ways, bookish, articulate, physical with the running, love the outdoors, love to travel, positive attitude even in the face of disappointment, hard working, family orientated. I mean, I don't see what else a girl could want unless she is just focused on finding a rich guy. Obviously, you are in complete control of what we see of you, which doesn't include knowing everything about you or seeing you at your worst, but god knows my fiance has often seen a side of me I wouldn't necessarily want the rest of the world to see and vice-versa. I wish you the best and I'm sure that you will find someone that appreciates what a prize you are.

This is wayyyyy too much for a burger but the other prices for burgers are crazy too. A burger is still a sandwich after all. I’m glad you enjoyed it, it looked divine. I would watch you eat a bag of skittles at this point. I really dig your vibe! More videos please!

First, congratulations on hitting a sub milestone. See you are close to 15K now. Good for you. Nice video. Different combination of ingredients but it seems to work well. Glad you enjoyed your meal and your comments are always spot on. Stay well.

You're doing a great job with the videos. I think I've seen all of them. Wishing you success!

We are planning a trip to NYC soon and probably spend an entire week there. You videos are helping me narrow down a list of places to eat at. Love your videos so far and thanks for them. You mentioned not mentioning to like and subscribe and not using click bait titles and images that's for sure commendable and something that will make me subscribe to a channel and like their videos more on my own.

James, that burger with the watercress looks so good. Even the bun looks great. Have been to NYC once, but will never get back there. Would love to stop at PJ Clarke’s. In my dreams.

Your camera work is very very good. You know how i know? Because I’m full… and I want to get that burger! Great review.. Thanks!

thanks for your effort, your content and presentation are amazing

This was my favorite video you have created so far. My heritage is Sicilian/Alcastian so this video really fit the bill for me. The interior of the restaurant was gorgeous. The burger itself looked marvelous. I was quite surprised however to see such a seafood focused principle menu. I would think for a french bistro type restaurant, there would be more traditional meat offerings like a lamb offering, duck or Cassoulet perhaps. Maybe it was just seasonal for the warmer months? Cheers from Buffalo New York. Happy Subscriber. Also, great watch! I like Hamilton Khaki Automatics. Look forward to the next video!

I'm glad you were able to successfully obtain a relatively exclusive weekday burger without any issues!

Love the videos! I am a 30 year resident of Manhattan, and have never been to Raouls! Congrats on over 10K Subscribers, looking forward to your next food adventure.

I really enjoyed your videos. Thanks for doing all the honest reviews. 👌

Great vid. Burger had my mouth watering. Cant help noticing your watches. Orient bambino, seiko skx. Great choices. Greetings from the UK.

Bro, luv your Bambino watch! And your SKX, I have both.

Cpngrats James love your reviews thank you

Over ten years ago I worked at a place that had the best burgers in texas . We only sold it on Sunday.

That burger looked delicious. I'll be in the City in a couple of weeks and will have to check that one out.

love your vibe, keep it up man. Also congrats on 10000 subscribers 🎉

Thats why I love NYC so much

I used to work right across the street from Raoul’s. It’s a beautiful little restaurant and always packed! The food is very very rich. I recommend fasting for a few days after a meal there. Nothing on their menu is light fare 😆

Congratulations on the Subs and Don't forget the little people! That looks like a really beefy burger!

We have a reservation Saturday at Maison Pickles restaurant Saturday October 28th 2pm. Would love to have you join us. Of course lunch is on us. You provided many restaurant ideas when we visit NYC. Thank you

Congratulations on 10k. Looks delicious. Definitely seems worth the price and I'm a cheapskate when it comes to eating out.

Great video!!

Raouls burger is so good man

We took out some Greek food the other day. It was not good at all. The gyro was not crispy at all and the calamari were like really ..dougy... Whish I had a burger like this, but....✌

Bon appétit !

Who is Bobby Flaigh?

I love your videos !!! But please take bigger bites of food ! It seems like your not even eating anything , it’s a bit frustrating . Great content though 😎

I'll eat a rare steak, still for some reason can't eat a medium burger, must be psychological.

I had never even heard of this place - looks great! Thanks for another great video. (I genuinely appreciated how you said you didn't want to waste anyone's time/didn't waste time on any click/bait titles - the quality of your videos speaks for itself).

When I saw you had a Manhattan I decided to have one too.

Did that guy in the background just flip you off?

Congratulations on the 14k subscribers! You’re amazing, I’m a huge new fan. What a gentleman 💕🥰

It always brightens my day when I see a new video from you. I always open immediately! I would have selected the same dessert. Thanks for revealing your brush with fame and celebrity. Congrats on now 14,000+ subscribers. I see a trend developing!

The look on your face as you have your first bite… stunning!

Congrats James on having a very goodly number of subscribers! The Raoul's burger looked killer hot and I am so happy to know that you enjoyed it immensely. Keep exploring and letting us trail along with your adventures. Ciao.

Just read about an interesting book by a steak reviewer called The Beef Bible. Also check out the burger and steak at the oldest bar in nyc The Ear Inn @ 326 Spring Street.

I'm getting married halloween week and was still hoping we could meet up Saturday October 28th. In the afternoon or evening. If that works for you. Thanks again Big fans

Why is it so difficult to make a great burger but people are willing to pay that coin? Stupid and a waste of money. Spend that money on a needy hungry for a week.

so thankful you are reaching success with your channel. you bring people so much joy. thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through you

The best food/restaurant reviewer. You should seriously have a show on Food Network.

Plus you got about $5 worth of au poivre sauce.

Congrats on the 10K ! Can you spell out the name of that sauce ? I couldn't pick it out. Great job finding this restaurant, I hope to dine there someday.

That looks phenomenal! Another from your list I'll have to try. Au Poivre sauce is the only thing I will ever add to a steak, and it has to be delicious with the burger! Thanks for another great review sir!

are you telling me it is better then MCDONALDS??????? hahahaha

Apart from the decadent burger, I have the exact same Bambino! cheers

I absolutely love your food/restaurant reviews. Without a doubt you should have your own show on Food Network.

This restaurant is great because the owners are French. 'Nuff said. I was on assignment in Paris for 4 yrs in the 80's. It took me all of 24 hrs to become a lifelong food snob. Ain't nothing' like eating in France.

I would definitely try the steak. Great vibe also.

I’ve binged so many of your reviews and it started with just being suggested the Michelin star ones, once I subscribed I grew to enjoy your easy, straight to the point reviews of all sorts of restaurants. Much respect for keeping it honest and thorough. Can’t wait to eat at some of these spots when I’m in NYC again! You gotta hit up my city, Toronto!

Oh, that’s right. My bad. I was looking at Raoul’s burger. I’d definitely stop by for one. (Been bingeing on your videos, and I got lost!)

Try Plan Chek in LA. I would say that's the best burger in America. There used to be Union Square Burger in Williamsburg and Hells Kitchen which was owned by a Japanese chef. That one was amazing unfortunately he closed.

Man this was a good one…the places atmosphere was awesome and that burger looked real good man…it don’t matter how full I am if a place offers bread pudding I am trying it I guess it would be my favorite dessert…good job man really liked this one

So how were you able to reserve a burger for yourself?

This is like the fine dining version of food reviews

A wonderfully convincing burger sell James. Just one thing; that sauce; “a cup of apois sauce,” what is APOIS SAUCE?

Congrats ! very enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work ~~~~

Im a big fan of burgers and this might be the most delicious looking burger with that sauce!

Just discovered your channel. Thank you for the wonderful content. You provide such a wonderfully detailed window into these dining experiences in a simple and unpretentious manner that is hard to find on YT.

I think that eating massive and delicious burgers is a weekly goal I have to accomplish. That place looked awesome!

Hey Andrew, as you know I really like your videos. Ever thought about including little interviews with the staff or other guests? I think that would really kick in with the views. Also would like to see you in some nice dress shirt, maybe with a tie ... something with a nice collar. Bring it man!

I enjoy your videos they’re relaxing for some reason I don’t know if that’s weird or not plus I enjoy seeing people try food.

where are your sunglasses from? So stylish i gotta get a set!

Au Poive sauce sold separately for $44.95. That's wild.

Great job, James. You are definitely one of my favorite food critics. Hats off to you 👒

So glad I found you. Perfect foodie content! And ❤❤❤ that you eat solo.

Thanks for yet another great video, and congrats on over 14k subscribers! I recently discovered your channel and have been loving it, glad to see you're getting discovered more and more!

Great video

Talk about mouthwatering!! 🙂

Used to go there with my dad. Legendary place.

It’s been there since the 70,s ! Damn how did I miss that one ?

You gotta try Brindle Room's burger (East Village), or Red Hook Tavern's if you haven't been yet! Nice video, keep up the awesome work :D

Looks awesome, you are very lucky. I live in Scotland and, sadly, there is very little chance I can ever visit the amazing NY USA. I live in hope.

The burger looks good but I need to try that Manhattan

Congrats on your 10,000 subscribers 🎉🎉🎉🎉 that’s awesome keep it up! I like your videos so much even though the places are expensive lol it’s good to see good places in New York!

Great tour of the best real food in. NYC

Do you need a reservation to sit at the bar?

Fantastic looking burger! Definitely up there with the best! Great video and congrats on the 14k subs.

Mate, what is that beautiful watch you’re rocking. Which model of Orient is that?

FABULOUS, YOUR vids are definitely worth my time.

Yum!!!

Great cut btw when dipping in the sauce👍

Good job, not annoying food reporting!

Having a very particular time, place, and availability makes this 🍔 that much better.

Iook beautiful restaurant and big edi sutisn̈a from sukabumi west java indonesia

I’ve enjoyed every one of your videos. I find them thoughtful and engaging. You deserve a wider audience

A super limited secret burger only obtainable at the bar? Sign me up, super fun video as always!

Congratulations on your success! I enjoy all your videos! This burger looked delicious!

I'm so happy I came across your channel! Your content is top notch!! Pretty soon you're going to have 1M subscribers 😊 PS: I also live in Astoria 😊

love your content and attitude dude... would be cool to see u visit some long island spots, being from Long Beach

Yummmmmm

James, I 100% agree with you on the decor of this place. It looks really cozy and nice. That burger to me looks like the best one I've watched you review thus far. The style you use while reviewing these places is right up my alley. Down to earth, plain language, and easy to follow. You have a great niche here that I haven't seen much of, if any on YT. I'd say what I thought about Bobby Flay but mama always said if you don't have anything nice to say, shut up. It is cool to see these highly recognized people out in the wild though, for sure. LOL While dining in various NYC spots I've run into many super star athletes and seen a bunch of stars and well known mobbed up guys including Gotti. NYC is different than any other American city that way. I used to skate with the Blackhawks in Oak Park here when I was a kid. I ran into Phil Esposito a few decades later at a Steakhouse in NYC. I was with my senior partner. As he was pointing Phil Esposito out to me, Phil recognized me and said hello by name. He walked over to our table and we chatted for a few minutes. I won a lot of "boss" points that night. Thanks man, enjoy your weekend. I'm really enjoying your channel.

I love how happy you were about reaching 10k in this video from only a few months ago! Now you're almost at 30 🙌🏼 Way to go James, keep it coming 🥳

nice must have
