Food Theory: Did We Make The PERFECT Burger? (Burger Taste Test) 

@@TheUltimateMachineGod yeah it’s something when you’re literally able to defeat a god in a cooking competition to see who is a better cook and when he lose he is in disbelief until he tried your meals you cook and realize how good your cooking is like king Neptune is the god of the sea but spongebob is experienced in cooking the best burger so delicious that literally divine being find that his burger better than what meals divine can typically eat.

@@TheUltimateMachineGod yeah indeed.

@@alexanderhood8993 Though there are 3 Neptunes that’ve been shown in the Sponge Bob universe… Maybe there is a Neptune for each sea (The 7 seas) and only one of them is the actual God 🤔… But hey that’s just a… You know the rest 😏

True.

*karlson vibe intensifies*

@@axolotlwithaglock1769 ?

Lol, that’s actually hilarious!

I like that if you go to the website they're using it specifically calls out that you should match aromas but contrast tastes and textures.

_Wat_

I mean, when someone says "complementary colours", they are talking about the 2 or 3 colours that are furthest away from each other on the colour wheel.

That's exactly what I thought of. It's like their first attempts with the large dots were making a design with analogous colors and at the end with the smallest dots was them making them with contrasting colors. To put it in a visual way.

666 Likes.. Not touching it.

@@LoonyHalfBlood - Yea, thats what I was thinking, the bigger the dots the more they flavors work with each other, which causes the flavors to all be homogenized, the smaller dots all stand out which when together in the same bite makes you go "ooh... ahh... wait?? yea.... nice" because their all unique but together in the same bite

@@LoonyHalfBlood that’s the perfect comparison actually

Borgito

Crushed doritos on a patty? Sounds like a valid topping to me

@@nejishadow nah, don't crush them unless you're going to mix them into the mince. Have them whole as part of a stack, especially if you're putting them on top rather than below.

@@freshprinceofsolaire.2123 u on to somethin🤔

This made me laugh way harder than it should have

Yeah, and the same burger also had a whole pineapple slice in it, don't know how it wasn't that sour but me and my sister kinda theorized that it might have been slightly roasted.

So make honey mustard basically

Yes! Honey mustard is so good on burgers, a hot honey could also be super tasty

@@BaguetteDeMal exactlt

You can also treat honey like any sugar and caramelize it. It resembles a jam like consistently, and you can add anything you want to it for more flavors. My favorite is make a spicy honey mustard with it.

I mean, if it's a cute good looking teacher! Mat is cute, hello!

The sour cuts the other flavors and the sweet does the same. You wants different parts of the tongue active for a burger.

you: burger time propane grill: exsplosin time

As the old adage goes, “opposites attract”

Love your examples, very much agree

My hypothesis is that the Flavor Pairing theory works best for dishes that have a more uniform/homogeneous flavor, like the aforementioned spaghetti, and also coffee that tastes the same all throughout. Burgers on the other hand (at least for people who care about things like this) aren’t about the uniformity, rather the variety of distinct flavor profiles coming together. If I were to guess, pizza would be another type of dish where Flavor Pairing theory wouldn’t really be too applicable. Applying that burger mentality to say, coffee, would be like drinking coffee and expecting to be able to distinclty taste the water, the coffee powder, cream, etc. instead of tasting the uniform coffee blend

Should have looked for this before I posted a comment, 100% on point

You basically just reiterated what was said in the video, completely unnecessary.

@@nicolemelo8994 wow, they have an epiphany that they didn’t have during the video, and thought about it and worded it differently, so that it makes more sense in their own mind, and your knee-jerk reaction is to sh*t on them for actually coming to that conclusion? Really?

@@missewe I like it ice cold 😂

well jam is good with cheese and a lot of people like PB&J sandweges

I had a peanut bacon burger at a restaurant once. It was amazing.

@@Bobblehead-nz9cn you deserve to go to the same place as the pineapple pizza eaters

Agreed. Same with fashion. Matching to a tee is boring but using items that compliment each other are when people look their best.

But it needs to have at least one commonality. Like, you know want a symphony, not just cacophony, but not to the point where it’s all the same. It’s a harmony.

Similar in art, most of the time contradicting colors pair off well because it let the artist choose the focus and control the emotion of the painting

Although it is possible to write music with hardly any dissonance that is great. Look up Shostakovich's Fugue in A Major (it's got a prelude too). It does have minor chords for contrast against major, though.

Well, they're literally the same thing but with different senses. Actually, interesting thought: Would a synesthete hear a burger as, like, an orchestra or something because of how many different flavors there are?

Would love to see this!

That’d be amazing

y e s

Right the whole idea that more aromatic pairings automatically means better combinations is just false in my opinion. The science behind food pairings are real chemical pairings, but that doesn't necessarily translate to better flavor

yes please 👍

Thanks

basically food is about balance, there is no need for an entire book

A theory building off of this somewhat that occurred to me, would it then be best to make dishes with contrasting elements that then have elements that bridge that contrast, so the you still do get the contrast but in a more smooth combination?

@@blackmantis1511 as a cook it amazes me how complex people tend to make the science behind the art. See when I am in the kitchen my brain isn't thinking ooh this contrasts with this and this could be something to bridge that contrast, or these pair well together. When I cook I look at the available ingredients and think more of the portions.. I am under the impression that with any list of ingredients something amazing can be made it only matters the amount of each ingredient. I have been cooking this way since I was 17 and am now 22 and in those 5 years have never had a single complaint weather I was cooking for friends, family, catering events, or when I worked in various restaurants.. don't over complicate cooking just make something beautiful and be confident in your judgment.

TL;DR food is balance

Oh yeah!

I have eaten a PB&J burger just like the one you mentioned, and I second that it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 it sounds like it should be disgusting, but was the most delicious burger I’ve ever eaten

I’ve had a pb&j burger before that also had bacon and jalapeño slices on it, and it was very dissonantly delicious. The sweet, savory, and spicy flavors clashed beautifully.

that makes sense

This. A leafy green salad with a honey vinaigrette is a nice side salad WITH a fancy burger. It doesn't mean you put those same leafy greens and honey ON the burger.

This makes sense and could explain why I hate burgers and sandwiches

Thank you, i was trying to articulate that but couldn't figure out exactly how to phrase it. That, however, was absolutely perfect.

When I saw that bacon doesn't pair well with beef (smallest green dot), I knew the pairing site was off somewhere.

Very true

You need some complementary and some contrasting. It's a balancing act. Also, everything was branched out of the meat, maybe some links between ingredients themselves as well.

Yes.

Yes! I find when I eat sandwiches, turkey and cheese makes a nice and interesting combination.

yes, that’s so true

I thought the same thing too. If everything has the same aroma, then it's a boring experience/taste. So, that website is useless.

I second the grilled cheese episode. My grilled cheese is: Garlic butter spread on the outside of wheat bread, Dijon mustard or spicy mustard on the inside with Muenster cheese (two slices) on the inside to completely cover the inside. I, too, cook in cast iron. Every so often I'll add some spices to the garlic butter blend (cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes and some basil or oregano).

Make sure to include that you can use Mayo instead of butter based spreads and it comes out pretty good

You need to try sprinkling shredded cheese on the outside of the bread. It gives you a good crunch and a nice cheese taste.

that idea for a grill cheese episode sounds really good.

There's actually a small restaurant chain in Ohio called Tom & Chee, that literally only serves different kinds of Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese.

I hate A1 and your just eating meatloaf on a bun really

Thats pretty similar to how my dad make burgers when I was growing up. Always tasty

I think this works well with my contrast theory- the crunchy panko, and the creamy ingredients would be a good one-two punch all by itself... one would think... However I've tried meatloaf like this and, yes, it's delicious, but you don't really taste the "creamy ingredients", per say. So I would wager a bree cheese would go well. Leaning again towards slapping a pineapple slice on bottom (good sweet contrast with your salty meatloaf). Anyone daring enough to try?

I will try it! I love adventure. I already have 2 types of hoison & vegan mayo. I Gotta buy the Sriracha, though. I normally get my spice from homemade salsa. Great grandma recipe.

Syndrome was right all along

Not really. Doing analogies to music theory (that's what I'm more familiar with, as I'm just a beginner home-cook), what they basically did was writing a piece with only an A-Part in the beginning and for the final test they wrote a piece with so many and frequently changing parts that the music ended up without any actual structure and just clusterfucked notes together without a proper harmonic progression. It's not that 'Nothing was outstanding' in the final experiment. It's rather that none of the different flavours were supporting each other to create different harmonies which would in the end contrast each other. They had many different tastes and that's what they liked. But they'd have had to add either bonus components which matched with each member of their set to strengthen them, or add bridge-ingredients between the components to make them loosely blend. It's not like everything had outstanding flavour. More simple, none of the flavours that could've been outstanding were properly supported. If you'd like it more in a video-game way: They had multiple damage dealers in different teams, but neither of them was supported by either a tank or a healer and they couldn't team up whiti each other because there were no diplomats. What I like to do when designing recipes this way is that I choose ingredients with a similar flavour profile to the main ingredient and then try to chain more ingredients onto the first generations which diverge more and more away from the main ingredient and the other 'flavour-pillars' that move away from the main ingredient in the central. This way, I get a lot of contrasting flavours which are bridged to each other with the central ingredients, creating harmony and dissonance. You can see this approach in a lot of Mahlers symphonies (which I can only recommend). Very strong structures with a lot of contrast but properly supported through bridging parts, making each repetition of the central ideas an interesting and attention-grabbing contrast, despite the movement already having surpassed the 30 minutes mark. despite having the symphony already been 'dragging on' longer than one hour. Simply beautiful. Listen to Mahlers symphonies pls. This is only one of many valid approaches though.

runny eggs are actually amazing on a burger.

Our BBQ has 2 sections to it, the actual grill and a flat part to cook things like eggs. With that I guess just using a pan would get the same result
