Nice bean we're just getting to eat a really nice steak, yeah with soup and, you get to eat it the second, it's done cooking, mmm, I'm gonna try the same piece of meat this time but now dip it shabu. Oh. That. Rocks again there yeah, all right absolutely. One. Two. Whoa. Three, like. You're baptizing. The meat. The. Dip is awesome okay. That's. Doing it right there's two great ways to enjoy beat you, either cook it very briefly, or you cook it a really long time this is the best of both worlds two quick cook beef and also the, super long cook because, the soup is eight ten to twelve our feet, in beef bone soup but enough about beef pork, break what break. Mm-hmm. At first this did not make sense but it's because the beef is so precious it, breaks, up the flow of so I don't just crush, my plate of beef all in one bite like I want to well and also this, bowl, of rice is bringing, me more comfort, than my, body pillow what, I've had the same one for, over ten years it's, hard to sleep without it. Wow, no I wash it that. Explains a lot about here it's like a teddy bear we all have that like item yeah but now mine is in my parents attic because I stopped sleeping with it after the age of eight why would you give up something that's so comfortable. All. Right we're gonna have the broth now we've finally reached the soup part of the meal. Whoo. The. Smell though Cheers, ooh. That, is nice, it's, not, so. Beefy, actually. It's, got like Rudy flavor. Yeah apples, or something this is the best way to close out this meal yeah, it's, nice a gentle, landing, it's like when you have a delicious, sauce, you, want a piece of bread to mop, it up top so. Us here, you just drink the sauce. Hot. Pot, that hot pot was so good okay, so we've come to Taichung for our final, soup. But before we have that we're gonna have some cold, drinks, that's right we're, going to 10-run one of my favorite places in the States so I love to be having it here in Taiwan where it's actually from so we've got Luang tea and a, black tea boba, confession, time I'm not the biggest fan of boba, that's. Fine I just eating while drinking I don't isn't that what soup is soup, is drinking, while eating it's completely, different don't get it twisted Cheers. Mmm. That's what I like, unsweetened, nice. Iced tea that's, all I want instead of another soup fact we're actually gonna have a boba fact all the facts boba, tea was, invented, in the 1980s. In Taichung Oh some, genius out here putting boba, and milky together their controversies. Around who actually invented, boba milk tea, there's multiple, reports of different people so interesting. We're now on our way to goo, ba me where we're going to see chef Chen to try her beef noodle, soup the, iconic, dish of Taiwan we've had it a few times off-camera, so far just for our crew meals and such and it's usually a very inexpensive, dish, five or six US dollars equivalent, but today's is going to be a little bit more deluxe, it's, gonna cost, around 30 US dollars which is a lot for, beef noodle soup but it's gonna be really good. Ruba, me is beef noodles, in Taiwanese. Island why do you think Taiwan loves their beef noodle soup so much it's fast and also its luxury, you have a big bowl of noodle, soup, and meat I never really, see restaurants. Can do all three good I want to do things the best so when I do noodles, I want to find out the best formula. Hui test with different flours. For almost six, months I would say we want the noodles to be authentic, in the middle but also the outside, can absorb, a little bit the suit we use the Japanese Wagyu beef, shank and also, we have a condiment, of smoked bone marrow and on top of a we have some shabu shabu of, the beef shank to give two different textures of the meat what is your background in cooking like where, did you come from I, learned, in Paris I travelled to stay, sell a little bit and then I come back I started my French restaurant ten years ago very fine, dining it was my dream restaurant buddies integer is very weird I think Taiwan people they like something casual I want to do something smaller, and now I have the bar of noodle shop I was just, trying to do something I like it.
Looks Like very refined, but I didn't do it on purpose I just trying to make it good and then it becomes this way. Look. At this that's. Not soup we have tofu, skin hooked in some of the beef stock this is the radish, with lemon, and, olive oil, zucchini, confit. And goose fat some kind of green bean and beef mushroom. Deliciousness, I know that a lot of delicious stuff in front of us I cannot wait, for the soup right now but, I will be patient. Roll. Along hold, on the soup. That. Is damn good. Greenie. Mean oh. I. Did not think that was gonna taste like that. It's. A smoky, porky green bean tofu, skin that, looks super juicy, and you know Cheers. That's. The best one no this is the best no no no no I'm done zucchini, confit, in goose fat. Every. Time I eat something green I expect it to taste like a crisp, vegetable, then, it tastes like a fatty animal, this is awesome, Wow finally. The beef Oh. Ready. To eat some beef in the soup right now oh. Thank. You know this thing I. Can't. Believe this I can't. Believe this yeah I can't believe this this is a $30 bold soup broth Cheers. Okay.

Just ate a pastrami sandwich in, one bite, yeah and the juices of the soup just bursting. Out inca, have some come, come come. Those are great noodles, springy. Chewy. Look. At that beef. Wow. Holy, crap, I didn't think it was gonna be that soft what yeah. It's. Like softer, than taffy. It's, softer, than it's. Somewhere. Be. Kidding, me okay let's add the bone marrow this is like buttering, already, buttered bread. Wow. Including. All the steaks we be in this beef best, beef taste I've ever tasted the best part I get to eat noodles the whole time it's, like usually a steak yours eating steak pretty fun but, okay, noodles, the whole time.

Egg, down to they're very satisfied a, little hole inside so, let the froth come out, and. Then please take. A sip been away from me or just eat alone, okay great, I'm following instructions, Stephen mmm. Yes. And. We can add a little bit of ginger with, the sauce on top and then you can enjoy fish.

Gonna apply too close to the Sun though so I feel like I want to feel it burst in my mouth. Mmm. There's. Hot. We. Mentioned it so much in this video but I really have to bring it back to the QQ, even, though the dough is so thin it still, is very satisfying. How do you attain, that, kind of texture in like, a film, sheet, Adam, can, you try this please. Yeah. It's, really good this, is all truffle, and pork shall, humble why, do a, truffle, soup dumpling II that is handy no yo yo hey so mu sued house for that when you do change keys or in gyeom my resolution. About tiles, so more than dirt and and younghui, okay Hogwarts, on. Cleanse. My palate. Before. We get into the evening I do have to point out the pleating, on each dumpling, they're beautiful. Oh yes. Oh. What. Bougie. Chairs are. These. Are, awesome. Okay last season we ate soup, the head truffle, in and we learned that has to be activated, by heat and fat right, the truffle in a soup dumpling, totally.
Makes Sense it really says something about, this dough that even though it's still thin you, still get that QQ, it's impossibly. Thin a common, complaint about our show is that we always just put truffle on stuff to make it more expensive and we see you comments section we, see you but these are about three US dollars, for dumpling which is expensive but for the taste of truffle, how nice this is I'd say that's worth it. Show. Title watch doing. Truffle. Right yeah, they're not doing it wrong. Adam. You want to see if they're doing it right. So. We're here at raha night market because Inka suggested, that we come and eat their stinky. Tofu the smell around the stall is quite stinky but once it's fried it is much more subdued Cheers Steven Cheers. Oh so. Juicy. Boy, crap, speaking of soup dumpling, there's. A soup tofu, if i thinkI tofu okay so before we get to our worth it winners what was your favorite thing in this episode, that was not a dumpling, my favorite thing was the fire, hydrant, soy milk at. The Leo josue Asian foul place the visuals, of that are just astounding my favorite thing was, getting. Dressed like a scientist, at Din Tai Fung central, kitchen we went through this airlock, that blew all the dust and hair off of us and we got to see some really cool behind-the-scenes, stuff, so Stephen which dumpling, was the most worth it to you at its given price my worth it winner today goes to the, pan-fried.

This trip could have been here without them let's get out of here, bye. Welcome. Back welcome, back Steven, doing another three Episode bursts before the New Year rolls in you, might be wondering why we're not driving. Say hi Devon Devon's, up front driving because we're picking up our special co-star today he's an avid fan of the show from River Forest Illinois his name is Jackson and his visit is made possible by make-a-wish. What's. Up, nice, to meet you, hi. Guys there. You go yes all right. Adam. Say hi. Welcome. To the car Jackson the worth out of mommy all right, whoa whoa whoa I'm the punkin master, on this show yet, Thank, You Jackson for joining us on our double.
Cheeseburger Episode today thank you for having me you flew all the way out from Illinois. Yeah, the Midwest, I like you already should we do the today, on worth it you don't do that today I'm worth it we're having three double cheeseburgers at. Three Justin see different, price points see which one is worth it the most worth it. Come on a VIN, price point so that's at least six patties are you prepared I'm hungry, good so the first place we're going to is called burgers, never-say-die we're, gonna see Sean this is a smash burger joint, I love super smash the game ultimate. You. Play a little mint yes. Who's. Your main. Donkey. Kong okay, okay I'm an S main you're bringing all the co-host attributes, that Stephen wants. In me but I don't possess hey, you, watch the NBA yes, yeah. That's. What I'm talking about. So, your menu starts, with the regular and the regular has two patties yes why is that I'd like double cheeseburgers, that's what I grew up eating it also works because it's smash bounty and tell us what a smash burger is it's cooked on a flattop at, very high heat and you just smash it down there so it Sears to the griddle and the whole process probably takes a minute or less what makes a really good burger it's so subjective like, personally, for me I like burgers cooked on the griddle, what is the griddle add you get flavor that's been there at the seasoning from the food items other than burgers what drew you to making burgers specifically. My wife and I we were always really into burgers and got into the food scene in Bell Lane bringing together all the burgers we ate I thought oh I want to try making this burger myself I started in my backyard with, no intention, of opening restaurant, for a couple weeks of just begging people to come and try the burger friends, co-workers whoever. Then some people approached me asking, me if I wanted to open a restaurant and, I throw my whole life I usually just jump in and I thought let's give this a shot and see what happens we have a sign right here that says always, ordered, - why, it's, an ode to the backyard you know people would order one and they would regret it and then there would be a long line or we had sold out so he's - still doable, I recommend - for you yeah what about you do you do - are you - I've eaten like six in one day oh my. Goodness, I mean we're gonna do six probably, over the course of this day for us so why, not start with - here. We go. All. Right Jackson take it away Wharf it double cheaper or take one that's, perfect that's better than I usually do take two. That. Burgers never-say-die I also have soft-serve, ice cream, insider, pro tip you get your soft-serve in a cup order a soda on the side and then mix it for your own float, where the correct proportions, for a float does anybody know whole bottle it's a feel Jackson's, got classic, root beer float this is Stevens I got chocolate, and, a blueberry, root beer okay. When I'm on the hood cheers cheers, Cheers. How. Do you eat this who, thought it Oh floats, for some soda on some ice cream it's like some the parents aren't home. Cheers. That's. Right just, like what Donald they like me to who knows yeah so these fries are fried, in beef tallow apparently, this is what McDonald's, tasted like way back in the day before they switch to a vegetable oil staying, true to their motto we've got two, burgers for each of us except for you Jackson because this is your first time on one of these rodeos I don't want to do that to here whoa.
It. Looks the way a fast-food, burger, looks in a commercial, but this is how it is in real life smells. Great. Bun smell, you, know did you think you'd have to wait this long before you actually get to take a bite can. I point one more physical attribute of this burger, before we bite into it sorry Jackson look at the way it it's like a lattice, yeah yeah yeah crispy very crispy, but you can almost see through the meat like a spider's, web, Cheers. Mmm. Crunchy. - it's really, going G yeah it's the essence, of burger nothing extra, there's not like strange sauces, or condiments, oh man. This might be the best burger I've ever oh man, like truly, what do you pee with that yes. Whoa everyone. Next. Burger here we go you'd, definitely be satisfied, by, one of these but you're gonna want to I do agree order, two Oh what, am i doing with my life now I'm only slightly, lactose, intolerant, so low, levels of cheese that's fine are you like as intolerant at all no you're a lucky person oh we had ice cream - what am i doing. Jackson. What do you think about the part of the show where Adam, heats thanks for the lunch bites. Twice. What. A cheeseburger, that was insane. Oh. Twins. Who's Sympatico, so, before, our next, double, cheeseburger, we're actually gonna get another double cheeseburger. We're going to this French restaurant, in West Hollywood called, Tess I saw an Instagram that, for national burger day they, made we're gonna call it a special desert burger we reached out in the pastry, chef Sally so kindly agreed to remake, it but double this time this. Might be the most visually, appealing burger, of the day. Close. Your eyes okay, man, this is gonna blow you away three two one reveal oh. It's. Very realistic, dude is. That a strawberry, yes, yes to macarons, chocolate, ganache mango. Passionfruit cheese, strawberry. Slices shiso. Leaf in a raspberry jelly for, the ketchup Wow if. You did not tell me that was dessert I would not have guessed it cheers Cheers. How to eat, this. Hmm. Actually. Really good mutes chocolate, and fruit what's not to like it's sweet and bitter at the same time that's the NA tasting. Notes coming off a Jack Sammons this isn't your first time is there are we, tired today you can have that do, you know what time it is now yes oh. That. Time that's right double, cheeseburger fact, double cheeseburger fact. One. Minute. Bob's. Big boy is credited with selling the first double cheeseburger, in 1937. The chains original, name was Bob's pantry. But after the double cheeseburger dubbed, the big boy was invented, the restaurant changed its name to boast, its famous burger the double cheeseburger became, so famous they changed their restaurant name. Whoa. We'd. Probably be called Adams silent, fight no Adam's big fight Adam's big buddy yes, we're next double cheeseburger, we're on our way to see Fredrick and Max at Burger, Ward's in Highland, Park similar, to this double cheeseburger, this next, double, cheeseburger, made, without meat I've, never had a veggie cheese burger before curve, ball for the episode I'm scared, and excited scary, and exciting is a good place to be with food. Tell. Us what kind of restaurant burger wars is the way I think of it's kind of a bizarro, version of, a traditional fast-food. Restaurant you used to go frozen garden, burger Portobello, this is a opposite, where everything, is vegan vegetarian, except, the beef burger do you think you're more popular with, traditional, beef cheeseburgers or. The vegetarian. And vegan crap honestly it's like 5050. Yeah. We look at it every week how did you guys develop, the recipe, for this patty, everything, kind of has its role the, barley, for chewiness and hash shoes give it a nice crunch we're roasting, all the eggplant, slicing, up the other vegetables those, get sauteed, with, all the spices on the flattop cooking, barley in a rice cooker with, kombu, and miso, roasting. Nuts garbanzo. Beans cashews. And then it all goes into one, batch and just mixed up once it's cold it settles and then we're balling it like a traditional burger we roll it in panko, then we patty it out so the panko when it's cooking gives it a kind of crispy, edge helps, keep the patty from burning on the grill - all of the work comes at the beginning so we can push it out really fast on average I mean our tickets are like five to ten minutes it's like neo fast food yeah.
It Feels like fast food it looks like it on the exterior but in the kitchen we're cooking all day now that you've explained, all this it feels like a burger joint is the hardest, thing to do for, vegetarians. Like why I didn't, want to tackle a burger, joint you, know there's the nostalgia. You know it's the experience, of a diner a fast-food, restaurant having. Fries, and, eating a burger it was also to create something that we didn't think really, existed, here you know when we grew up there was a lot of times we felt left out so we wanted to make sure that everyone, felt they had a good option here. So. To round out our experience. We also got the tofu, nuggets, and french, fries lord, of the fries style, lord, of the fries it's, a good pun if you read love of the Flies yet. Oh. God. Can't take you anywhere, cheers Cheers. Oh, is. It good, oh, my, goodness for the first time in my life I have somebody who's also a messy eater look at that she's crying it's got the cheese crust cheers Cheers. Brother, bombs. Hmm, good. Wow, doesn't taste like punch at all tastes like we leave it's hot cheesy, juicy. Meaty. And. Yet there's no mean so when you think man I can really go for a burger right now does. This satisfy, that. Feeling, 100%. You. Don't finish that thanks dude I'm trying to put a little hot sauce on there oh yeah. You asked me. You. Know what that's really good a nice little kick it really brightens the flavor of the burger oh it, has a good kick to it it's, good it is like I'm like in a different universe right now vegetarian. Food in this, universe, is the norm just gonna feel like we're in the twilight zone side, just. Like transported, back in time into an alternate, reality where everybody's, a vegetarian, and you know what pretty, good yeah what fozzy said. Wow, that's, a good bite. Lifeline. Like, not. Just mind-blowing, life. Blowing life my. Gosh guys I'm on Patti number 10. County. That's how many Betty's in bed before we go to our last burger it's time for one more burger. Fact double, cheeseburger, fact. Would. You like to read the FAQ today sure the price of the Big Mac when it debuted a scene right was 49, cents 49. Cents, so you're telling me I could go to love McDonald's with two quarters and come back with a Big Mac and a penny yeah, in the 60s, when it debuted oh sorry. 66. Right we're on our way to Petit, Pois where we're gonna see Chef Ludo and his, double cheeseburger called the, Big Mac and what, is on this big mech well, it's a French restaurant so. Sauce. Petite. Wha it's a classic. French restaurant, the design and the food is, very French and so you have this burger, how does that fit into that classic, menu in France we eat a lot to stay cachet you know the party, so I decided to just do a burger like what American, like you know I look, a lot burger to what makes a really good burger burger need to be crispy, and juicy when, I to a steak or any meat that's what I want I want, the meat to be crispy, it's called the Big Mac styled, after the Big, Mac of course of course yeah cuz make in France mean, guys, of to partner John and V and well. As we make French. Food is what about the sauce so it was very poor tone for me to have my burger, in the plate swimming, in the sauce like, we neither state so I decided, to do a classic, French sauce called, borderless, beef stock with a lot of shallot and had wine sauce we take like eight hour to do then after we have aged cheddar, cheese, how do you know if I were going to put a sheet of cheese or American. Cheese because I love American cheese really, love, what America, we don't I can reckon trees guys come on some people don't when I think about French, cuisine I think fine dining or I think like kind of fufu, yeah, I mean. This, burger is now all coming to mind right my job as a chef it's also to cook, what people want and it's going to mix you know American. Food with French, cuisine I recommend, with the burger with the. Knife very French food.
Is. Fork a knife in French we eat our burger with a knife okay guys sorry yeah. We do, there. It is, it's really unlike any burger I've ever seen before, look at how I plated it's in a pool of sauce yeah it looks like a lily pad any, keep on we, do the honors okay, everybody, there's gonna watch you cut this in half we're. Losing traction. $29, cheeseburger, you're just hacking through double, stabbed through the whole thing to secure, your bite what. Regret. Saying that I would be okay sharing, the burger, I'm good cheers, Cheers. I'm gonna mop up some sauce. It's. Magical. Yeah yeah boy Wow, oh man, that sauce that's all I read of all the patty is so, crispy, is juicy, and crispy at the same time okay, if I were to go back to Burger Lord's that wasn't everything I want in a burger what is vegetarian, this is everything I didn't know I wanted exactly I don't think I've had a sauce like this before that, is so rich. And yet, tantalizing. Yes the sourness, just makes. You crave more yes it does, Jason's, like keep talking, while I eat the rest. Is. This what you thought an expensive, burger would look like on worth it no I thought it'd look fancier, most expensive, burger is like your episode, with Keith there was a lot of ingredients like foie gras and lobster, uh-huh, this one just has beef, and cheese enough sauce it's. So simple you, don't need anything else. How, is it I, can. See why you'd use a fork and knife. So. How do you feel, food :, the dumb and as the time you know what time it is double, cheese with a dance time go. Double. Cheeseburger. Hey, no. Before. We get to our worth of winners what was your favorite thing today that wasn't a double cheeseburger but, dessert at tes oh yeah, it's. Good you just felt my answer my.

I think we'll start with you today Stephen which double cheeseburger, was most worth it to you at, its given price. Burgers. Never-say-die the, texture, of the patty was, what I try to accomplish.
