THE KELP BURGER | Future of Sustainable Food 

I wish Taku created the Outdoor Chef life Cookbook. Where Taku created a book and sold it on his website, A cookbook for every meal he's ever created featuring the recipe since the start of the channel. List out the ingredients and ill re-create them at home, Ill gladly pay $50 for that.

My grandma fed me kelp salads as a little boy. She will be 101 this May. Kelp is a super food.

the "ahhhh" after the first sip of every new drink is what keeps me comin back

kelps gotta be the secret to the krabby patty formula

My dude just sets up a 5 star kitchen where ever he goes, sitting on a kayak in the middle of the sea no problem, camping in the middle of the woods I got this! Haha love when I see your videos pop up. Great stuff man!!

Cute haircut Jocelyn 😀

This is what I imagined Krabby Patties to be

That eye contact during the cheers is getting better lol

The intro was so beautifully filmed thank you for this! Fingers crossed kelp really pops off worldwide

You know a guy's good when he makes a kelp burger look as mouth-watering as In-N-Out.

I've been researching alot about kelp and sea farming. It's a very valuable and a sustainble source of agriculture. It's definitely the future of food resources. I would love to start my own sea farm soon too. One day.

Proud and honored to have lived in Okinawa for 3 years of my life! Amazing place to live, I’d move back in a heartbeat.

you're spot on about kelp farming. it's the way forward

Oooooooooh I want this burger! I can't wait until the van is finished and we get to see Taklyn cooking and traveling all over!

I love how happy she gets when she eats your food. Its awesome

Yes Taku! Thank you so much for being an outspoken voice in food sustainability. #voteforkelp

My grandmother, Chilean, would make french dish with kelp, called cochayuyo, cream and cheese. You could buy them in dried wheels at the open market. Many Chilean dishes with cochayuyo, kelp.

It’s religion for me to watch an outdoor chef life video while waiting for my girlfriend to get off in the parking lot of her job. Ahhh life is weird

😭remember you working in the sushi restaurant to now living your dream🙏🏻 your my inspiration

Hey Taku! Thank you for doing what you do. I’ve been going through a really tough part of my life and watching these videos gives me so much joy and the motivation to get up, fight on, and encourages me to cook. Something I love to do. Have a great day and looking forward to more content!

Taku’s intro/outro’s are so satisfying

This kind of television is a must. Your so clever. Both you and your Beautiful partner are so enjoyable to watch. The food you eat is what us New Zealand Maori LOVE. Just sending a message of appreciation for your work you put in for us to learn from. ♥️♥️

i just buy the Nori sheets to eat as a snack. Lots of nutrients and iodine.....

We purchase large long fronds of dried unsalted kelp from Korean grocer - in large bags. we cold brew some fronds in distilled water in the fridge and the chilled drink is delicious with a squeeze of lemon. The spent kelp fronds we make into a tasty pesto for lettuce wraps.

Words of wisdom at the end there. It doesn't replace it; it's something altogether different.

Great video! I really like how you were able to communicate the idea of enjoying a veggie burger without taking anything away from eating meat. Very smart. Y’all are awesome!

Y'all seem like such cool people! Wish I had friends like you guys!

Got a challenge for you. A fish is that requires good ideas to control. And a fish that has a terrible culinary reputation in America. The carp and asian carp. Would love to see a fishing episode for either and a good tutorial how to clean, if you're not aware of the Asian carp problem in the United States it's taking over a lot of waterways and more recipes to cook them the better. And from personal experience carp are quite entertaining to fish for

I like this idea. We need more people like you saving this world in the long run

I've had a pretty shitty week, car that I bought last month was stolen so I just lost all that money...been super stressed out and stuff but honestly watching this video was the most clear my mind has been this whole week for those 15 minutes. Thank you so much, keep up the good work🤙🏼

Maybe it's because the clocks have gone forward in the UK, but this Taku Tuesday became a Taku Wednesday. I almost had a panic attack when midnight came! LOL

Taku and Jocelyn, another nice video!! I retired here in Okinawa about 18 months ago. I think they have something like 1500 people 100 years or older here. Quite a large population considering Okinawa's population in around 1.5 million people. Keep up the great work,, please plan on coming back here!

It's going to sound creepy me saying this but I'm not meaning it in that way but his the type of guy you'd want to be friends with I wish I got to meet him one day that be so cool. He seems very friendly :) and I really love watching him go fishing like fisherman's life. My fiance actually got me into watching these guys to.

Honestly you are hands down one of my favourites. You are definitely one of my inspirations towards my travel goals!

I want to make a kelp burger here in Japan! I'm in Hiroshima but will be on the look out for kelp to try to make some locally sourced kelp burgers of my own- thanks so much for sharing this video and information!

I think this is one the underrated videos in your list of videos. Maybe ppl just don’t understand or are afraid of kelp? But it’s clear that you truly believe in kelp as a great sustainable food source and that this burger was freaking bomb!!

Holy cow man! Remembering us sitting in middle school waiting to get picked up and now you’re killing it out here. Your cooking and filming skills are amazing. Super impressed. Hope you’re well buddy. -TJ OHayer

I want to try the burger!! The fox beer holder is so cute.

Maybe so course ground Sunflower seeds and Cashews would give it some heft. Looks awesome!

Thanks for the quality upgrade, sounds like you got a better MIc too!

The energy that Taku and Joclyn have is very cheering. Always makes my day and keeps me waiting for more videos. greater work

maybe turn half the kelp into a paste (in a handblender) and using it as binding agent for the burger ingredients and yeah make four patties instead of two.. more fried surface area is better.. looks dope though.. got me hungry for a kelp veggie burger..

Jocelyn great feedback.

Kelp farming is growing like crazy along the east coast. I hope to start finding kelp burgers on menus soon!

I just discovered your channel and literally spent a whole day watching your videos... can’t wait to see your success grow and the production quality of these videos grow as well! Good stuff here

Looks delish. Most veggie burgers suck, this could catch on. Kelp has been a "health" food forever. I remember my mom giving us kids kelp tablets 60 yrs ago. Great episode.

Jocelyn's Ninja turtle boots are flipping awesome!!!

Using mother nature's ingredients! Is the best!! Would love to try that someday.

Kelp and portobello mushroom burger, yum. I wish I lived closer to a coast to gather kelp.

Whooooh great video Taku! Love the recipe and the close ups! Thank you for sharing

Another educational and tasty video. Good stuff bro.

Would love to see more kelp recipes!

For those of us who basically never get to see the ocean, being in land-locked San Jose, any Japanese market will have all kinds of seaweed and most of that is farmed so it's sustainable. Fresh is always better and more fun but for someone like me, 30+ miles from the sea, I watch these things then go "fishing" in my beloved Asian markets.

Good ol taku tuesdayssss !

I wrote a paper about creating piezoelectric kelp farms on coast lines for not only energy creation but for environmental creation. the piezoelectric sensors in manmade kelp would utilize the oscillatory motion waves would create and transfer that to an electric current to be able to provide power to local areas

Taku, I am vegan and really appreciate the fact that you are willing to demonstrate how healthy that lifestyle can be although you don't follow it. Follow the Okinawans, the Blue Zone territory:) You are a Sushi chef, have you watched, "Jiro dreams of sushi"? Amazing! Cheers, Rik Spector

the quality on this video is beautiful! I love the educational content !

I think Jocelyn hit it on the head. Veggie burgers and vegetarian food in general should never be looked at as a replacement. IMHO here in North America we tend to want to to do just that. Vegetarian cuisine around the world, think India, China, Vietnam, make amazing vegetarian cuisine highlighting the vegetables with spices and herbs. What you made just there was enabling us to look at vegetable and alge in a way that can become more approachable to North American palates. Our insatiable need for commercial farmed commodity meat will soon become untenable for the majority of our population. Do to rising carbon pricing, social awakening, rising CO2 emmisions from commercial meat production. This was a really smart post, if this relocated Texan/Canadian can get behind vegetarian cuisine, including seaweed products, insects, man, I really hope we all can. Sorry for the rant. Just brought out the passion of a chef, me. Thank you Taku and Jocelyn.

I remembered when I first discovered your channel by stumbled upon your clam chowder videos. It is amazing how much your channel grew in the past 2 years. Thank you for all your videos and recipes!

u can always go for a teaspoon of any kind of flour to make the patty stick together :)

Jocelyn new hairstyle, love it!! That looks really good.

Tell Jocelyn to get different boots! Those tabi boots are putting her toes at risk of breaking if she slips!

I spent a couple years on Okinawa. Had a great time all over the Island and in the water. Great people when you get out of the cities. Just like Rural people anywhere.

Dude your videos are always so great! I just gotta stop watching them when i'm hungry.

Hehe, great idea Taku. Will have to try something similar in the future and I also agree with you, kelp will be a great source of nourishment in the future, but also a great source of energy as a biofuel. 👍

Love to see the elevation is production quality!!! Keep it up take. Loving your content

Jocelyn's tabi rainboots are WILD! So cool!

Watching this while eating some seaweed snacks 👌🏽

Sounds like a good way to end world hunger and it appears to be easy to grow. I love that color change. Need to try it.

I’m not a big fan of meat alternatives in food, but I’ve got to admit, that looks really good and if it’s sustainable, I’m all for it.

Tako, you should start a sustainable food company with Kelp!!!

Hmm that's a good healthy spin on a burger 🤙

I likedd how you done your ending to your video it was so funny lol keep up the great work Taku!

Another great video, this one is a must try, thanks for the many many great ideas.

Watching you cook and eat this burger just made me hungry. 😁😁👍👍💯💯

The BEARD is coming up Taku! Mine just joined (chin and jaw), now growing it to a bush hopefully. Happy there no paches😉

Dope recipe, Keep the vids coming!

Honestly man, I love this Channel so just relaxing and great to watch and inspires you to wanna get out and to experience some of these things.

You are definitely the outdoor chef. You make it look so yummy 🤤. I will try to eat kelps. Stay safe.

love the intro im liking how the way this video was edited

Im not one to eat a veggie burger, not because of any specific reason. I just never had the urge to try it but not gonna lie, that finished product had my mouth watering. I dont liked the idea of black beans in the patty but after it was made I was like "damn, that actually looks good."

Ocean Power Technologies makes a buoy that generates electrical energy. The PB3 converts mechanical wave energy into electrical energy. This could be beneficial to offshore kelp farming! Not only that but also fish farming. Ocean farming in general would benefit from this tech.

you're such an inspiration . keep it going dude.

We've got some really low tides just now where I am so I'm definitely getting some kelp to play with after seeing this. Love it. And loved Jocelyn's wellies! 🤘🔥

That burger looked delicious 🤤 hard to believe it’s kelp. If I hadn’t seen it wouldn’t believe it.

Omg! I’ve been a fan of your channel for a while now and it gave me butterflies to hear you mention Okinawa! I just moved to WA state after spending my whole life there. Makes me so proud to hear you mention Oki!!! ❤️🌊❤️

My friend researched and recreated an ancient Celtic recipe that called for seaweed! If you live by the sea that's a great food source. It's not just for the cultures around the Pacific Ocean.

you know its a good day when its taku tuesday

Yeah Porter! What if you fried the kelp after boiling to make it crispify a little, it would remove the slippery? More oil in the pan. Crispy outside.

Man this was so cool! I’m glad it worked out for you! And I loved the intro!

I like how you wisper sweet things to your dinner! "Yaaa, I love that saucy burger"

my frat participated in a fundraiser with barnacle foods, sauce is fire

Nice video a great distraction from the anxiety I was dealing with thanks man

Not using buns anymore.... kelper! instead of burger... lets rename it to a kelper. yep. this looks so good. gonna try it.

Wow I’ve watched every single one of your videos Taku and this has to be one of if not the best video you’ve put out so far quality wise.. let me tell you I am so proud of your journey and so excited for what’s to come...stay healthy my brother 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Love all your videos this one included but I don’t know how many Americans are gonna get behind veggie burgers. We want all the meat. 💪

Jocelyn’s boots are badass 🤌🏻

Ah so that's where msg comes from. Learned something new, great video.

you're lucky to have a girl like your girl. hope everything goes well in future for you guys.

my guy made the real life krabby patty. Now you gotta make a kelp Pizza bro.
