Food Theory: The CORRECT Way To Build A Burger! 

I love that a company would do something as innovative as print a child’s play house on the inside of their packaging. Maybe other companies will start to do something similar now that this will have gained some attention

A suggestion for a future food theory episode: How accurate are food expiration dates? Has the food industry ever been guilty of shortening expiration dates in order to increase sales? ie. The shorter an expiration date, the less likely a consumer is going to be able to consume the entire product in the allotted time frame, thus requiring them to purchase another?

Hey Matpat, I think you just found the secret ingredient of the Krabbypatty: the order of the ingredients

Matt: "they are all the same ingredients they should taste the same, but they dont-" Meanwhile Steph: *acheiving burger enlightenment*

"Table Wiggle Test" Expectation: Matt and Steph will wiggle the table, simulating someone bumping into the side or bottom of the table. Reality: Matt and Steph both violently yank the tablecloth in each directions

Casual dinner hosts: We are going to be having burgers. Steph: Oh no... Matt Patt: BUT IN WHAT ORDER WILL IT BE?!?

"Our udders are full. Milk us" Steph: *On Floor, remembering when they were family friendly*

My primary takeaway from this video is the Mat and Steph must be really fun at a cookout.

Not a mistake - calling a "single" a "double" for marketing purposes is exactly the kind of thing Mr. Krabs would do

It’s funny because this was so common sense to me after working at Burger King when I was barely an adult. That was one thing that was stressed to us was that the build is very important and I was surprised at how important it ended up being after a little experimentation. So this was fun for me watching you guys go through the same process I did way back then.

I tried out the Krabby patty order and it's incredible how the tastes all dance together and it actually really changes the burger. Thank you.

I watched this when it was originally released and it fundamentally changed the way we build burgers in this house and I'm never going back. You changed our burger eating life, cannot thank you enough.

Matpat: "Our udders are full Milk Us" Everyone: we all make mistakes in the heat of passion Jimbo

Matpat: “i really want him to call me a donkey” Gordon Ramsay: “Donut” Matpat *We were on the verge of Greatness! We were this close!*

Me: about to sleep Food theory: how should you stack your burger? Me: interesting 🤔

I love how you two are together... the "Mayo on the top bun" really showed that 😂 reminds me of our dance breaks in the kitchen 😄

If Santa eats milk and the cookies every Christmas since he started, depending on the factors such as house numbers, cookie numbers and residents etc. How many calories has he gained?

13:20 "our utters are full, milk us" -Matpat 2021 Steph's reaction of crouching down in the corner and crying is appropriate to the situation

It fills me with a great deal of joy that the Krabby Patty was the tastiest.

having a grill is said to make you have your final dad form, but the secret final form is finding out what order to put together your grilled burgers in. also I remember spongebob's "I CAN'T PUT A PATTY ON A BUN WITH LETTUCE CHEESE UNIONS TOMATO KETCHUP MUSTARD PICKLE AND TOP BUN TOGETHER IN THAT ORDER!"

As a dad, this may be the most important video I’ve ever watched.

It's starting to get creepy how perfectly applicable Matpats videos are for my life. I literally started to learn how to make my own burgers last night and the burger kept making my bread way too soggy and would not stop falling apart. Matt, you have no idea how much your content means to me. I take my burgers seriously!

Steph: *Taking the kids* Pat: “Mayo on the top bun!”

only matpat can make a 22 minute video about how to stack burgers correctly

Matpat has ascended to dadpat with his grill, he is too powerful now

A lesson I will never learn: •Don’t watch Food Theory while I’m hungry at midnight

He went from arguing against being called “DadPat” to endorsing it.

bro mat and steph are just made for each other the perfect match bro its like they know what the other is abt to say i love it

“The correct way to build a burger” Me eating a burger: hmmm interesting

Just remember to check under Bubble Bass' tongue if the pickles are missing

This is fake, Gordon Ramsay can't die, he just gains another wrinkle

I am actually very intrigued by this since I am currently working at a McDonald's, and we stack our burgers from crown (top bun) to heel (bottom bun). The order goes, for a hamburger, crown, ketchup, mustard, pickles, patty, heel. The cheeseburger is the same but between pickles and patty is a slice of cheese. McDouble goes crown, ketchup, mustard, pickle, patty, cheese, patty, heel; double cheeseburger has a second slice of cheese between the pickle and patty; filet goes crown, tartar sauce, fish, a half slice of cheese, heel; McChicken is crown, mayonnaise, lettuce, chicken, heel; crispy goes crown, butter, pickles, crispy chicken, heel; deluxe crispy is crown, mayo, lettuce, tomato, crispy chicken, heel. The Big Mac is a very different preparation order. We set the crown upside down in the top of the box, the heel rightside up in the bottom of the box, and set the club (the middle bun) atop the crown. Then we put the Big Mac sauce on both the heel and the club, then we do the same with lettuce, placing it on both the heel and the club, atop the mac sauce. On the heel, we then add the slice of cheese, while on the club we add pickles, then we add the patty. Now comes the slightly awkward part, most of the burgers and sandwiches can just have the untouched bun flipped onto the rest of the sandwich, but that isn't what ahppens with the Big Mac. Instead, at this point, the club section is lifted and placed onto the heel, again, without being flipped, then the crown is flipped on top of the whole thing. I'm sure anyone who even loosely studies the stack order of a Big Mac already knows this in some capacity, and it's probably addressed in this video. Premature comment out of the way, now to watch. Premature comment edit time! I like to add crinkle cut pickles (the ones you find on a regular and the spicy McCrispy, not the ones used on burgers) to my Deluxe McCrispy. I also add ketchup onto the heel, which I dare not tell my boss, who thinks that combining chicken and ketchup is sacrilege and heresy. My ideal sandwich is artisan potato crown, mayonnaise, lettuce, crinkle cut pickles, roma tomatoes, a crispy chicken patty, ketchup, then artisan potato heel. We shall see if my preferences or my work instruction match up with the conclusion. Watching the taste test segment explains something about my enjoyment of the Deluxe McCrispy despite not liking the flavor of tomatoes. The tomato is masked by the chicken along with the ketchup that I add.

Wow, can't believe it's already been a year of food theory, it still feels like it's a very recent addition to the theory team. Anyways, keep up with the good work, really appreciate all the channels and hope you will keep on growing. Wait, why did apple hat get more then 5 points for stability?

MatPat: Our udders are full. Milk us. Steph: **crouches down out of frame and onto the floor out of disappointment** Matpat: **proud**

"Our udders are full. Milk us!" -MatPat, 2021

try this order from bottom to top:bun>mayo>patty >onion>cheese>tomato > pickle>lettuce mayo x ketchup > bun there,s a science behind it and it,s the best order

Moral of the story: Spongebob is always right and Mr. Krabs is a genius.

“You didn’t toast the buns so thats why your bottoms soggy you donkey” -Gordon when he watches the video

Matpat leaked his address now every company on Earth is sending him products.

I personally agree with "Apple stack" though the WhatsApp/Ramsay stack is also pretty good. Lettuce on the bottom bun totally helps with the slipping and preventing soggy buns

Theory Ideas: -Is Cereal a Soup? -How to get the best bang for your buck at a buffet. -What is the most cost effective way to preserve food (Salt it, Dehydrate it, or Freeze Dry it)?

MatPat: "Our udders are full. Milk us." *Stephanie regrets everything.*

Stephanie: WHAT ARE YOU? Google Hat Stack: An idiot sandwich...

Really cool of trawler to think of the kids. I remember sixty something years ago playing in the washer and dryer boxes. I had my own fort. Fun. Ten thousand thumbs up TRAEGER!!!!!!!!!!

The quantity and form of the ingredients is such a massive variable. Some of the patties resembled meatballs which of course made the burger less stable. The buns could have been grilled which would decrease sogginess. The application and quantity of mayo could be changed really easily to make it less slippery. Gordon Ramsay even goes so far as to "snap" the lettuce so it's flatter.

I love Food Theory so much, not only because of episodes like this, but also because we get to see Steph as a main part of many theories! I love their dynamic and how she is done with MatPat all the time 😂💞

*"can we start a unboxing grill channel Stephanie?"* Everyone on the team : **sweating nervously*

10:11 i have watched this before and i just noticed it says “do do do do do do” when he spins the nob and its so cute!!!!!

"Money isn't everything" - rich people "Beauty isn't everything" - Attractive people "Mayo on the top bun" - Matt patt

Am I the only one that just realized it's been a year since food theory started? It only feels like a couple months!

Google: "makes burger how they want it" The internet: so you have chosen death...

Due to texture issues, I have, I can only eat burgers with cheese. I plan to slowly add lettuce to it, but... That's it. It's really great to watch other people enjoy foods that I can't!!! I love this channel so much!!!

Foinally some good frickin füd

Steph: “Give me sort of a hardcore look” Dadpat: 🥴 Timestap: 10:24

“the internet basically agreed that the burger should be between the buns” well you see matpat i have to disagree

the box the grill came in is literally so creative and amazing. every box should come with either cat or kid related play options and adult beverage options... amazing!

Imagine launching a restaurant where every patty has the exact same ingredients, just shuffled differently, at the exact same price. I'd make it the whole point of the thing too, with infographics on the menu and walls, and each burger's name would be just a number, maybe ranked in the chef's order of taste.

"The Krabby Patty won in for best taste." Wow, for the first time, MatPat didn't ruin a childhood. O_O

For reference I’m a teenage girl, I do enjoy a little cooking but I don’t plan on grilling anytime soon, but I am so impressed by the ad??😭😭 like, the playhouse box absolutely sold me. Kids love cardboard houses to play in😭 so smart and thoughtful

"This ain't build a burger" "Oh no" "They're across the street."

“Our udders are full, milk us” lowkey really need a Food Theory poster with that slogan ASAP 😂

Wait a minute, so that means the secret formula to Krabby Patty burger is actually its order!

10:30 seeing mat have fun is so heartwarming

This video just should've been matpat saying "HA, you'll never get me secret formuler" and then ending the video.

Should have tried "The Ron Swanson": “It's a hamburger made out of meat on a bun with nothing. Add ketchup if you want. I couldn't care less.”

Never underestimate stack order. I used to make a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, cheese, avocado, and mayo. Stacked in that order. Once. The avocado slipped right out, mayo everywhere, cheese melty, but air space between egg and bread, by way of bacon. I used the same ingredients, but made it egg, bacon, avocado, cheese, mayo, and suddenly I have a solid sandwich where my ingredients don't slip and slide all over. Everything is secure, and tasty

is it just me that sees the problem with the end result at 19:56? how did the apple hat get 6/5 points, and tie with the wopper when 5+6+6=17?

I feel like 60% of this channel is an excuse to cook and eat massive portions of food while getting paid for it and that is simply genius.

Let's be honest Mat literally radiates american dad energy to the point where the only thing stopping him from going pro dad is the channel

Matt: "Our udders are full: milk us." Steph: "Someone remind me why I married him, because I'm having trouble remembering right now."

Like piccolo from db super says. "Do not interapt the grill master"

At the end, where you were putting salmon with lemon slices in your traeger, I would suggest putting the lemons on the bottom to make it easier to pick up after cooking. Also, you can cure your salmon and smoke it at 150 for an hour to make more of a smoked salmon. I have a recipe I am more than happy to share :). Thanks for the entertainment all these years.

What I'm getting from this is that the burger is SUPPOSED to break apart in your mouth, that's why the Krabby-Samsung with many loose parts tasted the best. The stable burgers made the burger stable even in your mouth... and what's on top and bottom that's contacting most of your tastebuds? The bread. The fact that they were taking BIG bites exacerbated this effect as the burger had less room to move around in the mouth.

It's hard to take matpats "serious" face serious knowing he's both a dad and makes so much weird/funny videos

it's simple: Bottom bun, Mayo, Pattie, Ketchup, Lettuce, Tomato, Cheese, Pickle, Onion, Top bun.

People freaking out over the correct order to stack a burger: Me who only uses 3 ingredients on the burger: I don’t have such weaknesses

Funny thing about Ramsay. He says lettuce on the bottom, but I've caught him in a couple shows, where the lettuce ends up near the top.

You know when matpat starts becoming the ultimate dad when he sponsors a grill company

Twitter’s burger is the right way. How to make a burger: first place down your bun on a plate step 2 grill your burger and once it’s done lay your patty on top step 3 place your lettuce on top you can put the sauce on the patty or lettuce step 4 next up get your tomatoes and put that on your burger step 5 place your onions step 6 place your pickles step 7 place done your bun on top

"Taste is subjective!" "Now let's prove it scientifically!"

Me: Mmm a tasty burger! Food Theory: Your life is a lie.

New theory: The krabby patties secret formula is just the order they put on the toppings. The krabby patty earned the mostpoints in taste.

The Appel hat got 17😂 (love your videos)

Food theory: The CORRECT way to make a Burger! Me: *BURGER IS BURGER*

one thing to consider is the krabby was the only one with unmelted cheese, i personally find cheese has a stronger flavour before being melted so could see that effecting why you tasted the cheese so much more

12:58 Pivot. Love the tracking.

Did i just waste 22 minutes of my life watching a guy solving a problem that i have never known existed?, Yes. Do i regret it?, Not one bit.

As someone who usually eats his burgers plain, this was still really interesting to watch. Food Theory is shaping up to be my favorite of the three channels just due to the sheer amount of hits. Although GTLive will forever remain the one I'm most attached to.

Burger Stability Boys sounds like a band you'd see advertising for on a metropolitan library corkboard, but never be able to find any music from.

I say, Krabby-samsung wins with whopper in seconds place, whatsapp-Ramsay in third, Apple Hat in Fourth and Google Hat in last. of course krabby's stability is really low but you can fix that with a toothpick

One reason why the Google and Apple burgers tasted like less might be pallet fatigue: you’ve tasted so much and are starting to feel full, so you’re being rewarded less for tasting more in order to stop at some point. This is also a thing in tasting coffee or wine; that’s why wine or coffee tasters spit out the beverage (and also to not get drunk).

"Our udders are full. Milk us." -Matthew Patthew, 2021

MatPat: "Can we just start a grill unboxing channel?" Me: *GRILL THEORY?*

What about, instead of Krabby-Samsung, we say “Krabby-Sammy” 😂😂😂 12:37

Pro tip - if you're constructing a burger anticipating a high degree of stability issues, you need to lightly toast your bun. Just enough to create a crust for structural integrity. This is a critical step in the Ramsay burger, for example. Food for thought. ...Bonus tip - "Food for thought" should be a catchphrase on this channel.

Me who eats burger's with literally nothing but cheese: "I like your funny words magic man."

Why do the burgers they eat actually look remotely like the burgers they show you in the ads and NOT like it's been run over by a pickup truck?! Just goes to show you the power of home grilling

Bottom bun, mayo, patty, 4 pickles, onion, lettuce, tomato, top bun. Boom 💥 ( also you can choose if you would like to toast your bun a LITTLE bit) try that one

I didn’t even know that wood pellet grills were a thing. I’m assuming they run on the same kind of pellets as a pellet furnace? If so, that’s genius: they found a way to sell people wood pellets in the off-season.

Can we just take a second and appreciate how much Stephanie needs to put up with every day when she married MatPat? You guys’ relationship is a goal
