@DRD The Japanese language's base are the vowels, A I U E O. They're pronounced differently from English. They are closely pronounced the way Spanish (and other similar languages) pronounce their vowels and letters.
9:44 Such a touching moment where Wolfgang choked at a memory locked in taste and released with a flood of emotions. He choked and almost cried, then pulls out wine. This guy is so real and fun loving. Dont think I ever seen a TV Chef paused to reflect like he did.
2:14 those "purist people" that you're talking about if they watched the burger show enough SHOULD know that the hamburg steak is the OG start of the hamburger and mixing half with ground pork is a modern "slug" burger from Mississippi courtesy from George Motz the burger scholar so Rie got nothing to worry about lol
Sure but the burger she’s making isn’t a variation on the slug burger. It’s just fairly common in Asian cooking to mix ground meats together and even add other non meat ingredients to ground meat.
@@monhi64 it is much more complicated than that. The vector for the hamburger into Japan is the US military occupation. 1940s burger culture was transferred directly. The hamburger steak was popularised during the transition from post war austerity to the 60s boom. It was an affordable way to enjoy large ‘western’ style cuts of meat. The bubble era resulted in huge levels of tourism to Europe. The hamburg steak was refined as people brought back a taste for ‘authenticity’, so German style pork/beef ratios became a mark of quality. This fed back into Japanese burger culture. At the same time Japanese-French and Japanese-Italian became popular. If you really want to dig deep, there are still places serving post war Japanese-western, which has oddities such as westernised Cantonese sweet and sour pork done in a style that suits the old school Japanese palate. ‘Pork with ketchup sauce’. It was likely that western troops stationed in Japan were requesting familiar ‘Asian’ foods. This is distinctly different from Japanese-Chinese that you can find in port cities like Yokohama and Osaka. There is endless trade and cross pollination of cuisines.
Rie's adorable as ass hell & so is Wolfgang. I swear Rie was gonna say "I'm exited to make it fancy" :p How Wolfgang was so excited to show us his electric salt&pepper mills, lool And his spanking the schnitzel and asking if it liked it. - LOL. Naughty boy. Ps, brioche is king of burger buns.
Spent part of my childhood in Wien and never ate hamburgers. In the United States I could not easily obtain good quality veal. So I would make Chicken Schnitzel as a substitute. The Schnitzel with trimmings served inside a brioche bun is a great idea. Vielen Dank.
I love Wolfgang Puck he's a great cook he cracked me up when he said spanking😅😄😂😀😆😉 this looks delicious I really enjoyed watching everybody make their own version of their hamburger🍔
Okay I think we all can agree that seeing Rie AND Wolfgang Puck on the Burger Show is a massively overwhelming experiencing in the best way possible. Edit: Our dream one day is to be on the Burger Show as well! We promise we make edible food!
Wolfgang Puck bringing me back to my childhood. I loved the Schnitzel sandwiches from the street vendors in Germany. Nice brötchen for the bread, fresh cooked Weinerschnitzel, a little mayo or slaw. Schnitzel Sandwiches, Doner Kababs, and Pommes Frites with lots of mayo are all things I still crave, 35 years later.
I just wanted to say thank you to Alvin Cailan and George Motz and all the wonderful guests for all the burger related content as it has inspired me to get creative in the kitchen and I think I just made the best burger I've ever tasted in my life. You have this wealth of knowledge and experience that you so graciously share and I simply cannot convey the depth of my gratitude. I sincerely love you guys.
I swear Wolfgang puck never gets older! he is so handsome. I have thought that for the last 23 years and I’m literally 43 years old now. I have always thought his personality is so attractive and he is beautiful on the inside and outside! Love him
Before anyone gets the wrong idea... Wiener Schnitzel is not with Brioche Buns, but with "Semmel" (tar-emblazoned round bread roll) which is very typical bread roll. It's his version and that's fine. You just won't get that in Vienna typically. He also calls it Wiener Schnitzel because it's calf meat, because Original Wiener Schnitzel is with calf meat. There are other variations (Chicken, Turkey, Pig) but they are called Schnitzel, not Wiener Schnitzel. Original Wiener Schnitzel typically is fried with Vegetable Oil or Butterlard. And also doesn't need that much, it's enough if it's barely covering it.
I am literally loving every minute of both Rie and Wolfgang and drooling and crying tears of laughter and hunger!!!. SOOOOO GOOD!!!! I am so inspired, thank you First We Feast!!!!!! xoxoxo
This reminds me of a burger made by a local place while I was a kid. It was some kind of chicken burger with a curry sauce. My first encounter with something slightly spicy.
I always love hearing people from other countries talk about what it was like to grow up. It's not really learning about traditional history, but you get to learn about different perspectives and how it differed from your own growing up
Childhood memory burger? Mine are those plain single McDonalds hamburgers and cheeseburgers that aren't even on the regular menu anymore. People used to buy them by the bagful. Rie and Wolfgang clearly had more exotic childhoods.
We have a burger dish kind of similiar to the japanese one in denmark, called "bøfsandwich" it's a burger with a brown gravy poured all over the top of it on the plate after its finished, would love to see it on the show!
1:47 I've lived in Japan on and off over 16 years total. I always refer to the Japanese burger as like a meatloaf sandwich. I never thought of it as a salisbury steak sandwich. I think that's equally as accurate a description. When I lived in Iwate for two years, one place I always ordered off the menu because in that super rural place there was no such thing as a cheeseburger, and I'm American, so of course I need a cheeseburger. I asked for the hamburg steak, on toast, with cheese. They actually changed the menu to include my sandwich. Another place by the way added "John's Katsu Curry Bowl" which was simply a chicken cutlet instead of pork.
In Iowa and other parts of the Midwest, it's common to see a tenderloin sandwich, which is a pork schnitzel in a bun. I didn't realize this was regional cuisine until I went to college and put a schnitzel between two halves of a bun and got some appalled looks from my fellow students.
I’ve never watched Wolfgang cook before, but he’s hilarious! Headed to see if he has a channel after this. Also, the teriyaki burger is one I’m gonna try. Hope she has a channel as well. Good show as always you all!
Alvin, you put a smile in my face. And now I'm craving for a schnitzel. In a teriyaki sauce. With Kewpie mayo. And whateverthe-ef slaw with kewpie mayo. Possibly with fresh moz and red sauuusss
It's funny that Wolfgang immigrated to Indianapolis and made a schnitzel. One of the most famous foods in Indianapolis is a pork cutlet sandwich that is essentially a pork schnitzel.💜
Its kinda funny how she says burger but i know that its hard to learn a new language and I appreciate her showing us her favorite burgers from her childhood :)
most of the time I know I'm never going to try to make whatever crazy burger gets shown on the show. I might have to actually try the one Alvin showed off this time though.
The sandwich Wolfgang makes is exactly the same as the fried pork tenderloin sandwich that’s made in the Midwest. I’m surprised he didn’t have one in Indie.
Fun seeing a Japanese take on a burger, but damn that schnitzel looked fantastic. Perfectly cooked, with some berry sauce, and the coleslaw was awesome. I could eat that right now! (If I wasn't in quarantine). Maybe something to make with Christmas leftovers?
My favorite Burger: 2 slices of sandwitch toast. top a 50/50 mix of mayo and ketchup, raw onions, slice of american cheese. buttom rémulade, roasted onions. Smashburger patty in between.
