And here we have the star of today's show this is a chuck roll.
You see this cut is not very good for steaks but it is perfect for burgers. The first
thing to do is to slice it up, I like to make nice small strips because this allows my grinder to
work less, the thicker it is the more work the grinder will have. So i went ahead and went to
towing and sliced everything up. I was aiming for one inch thick strips. As you can see once I was
done this is what I was left with. And if you've never grinded your own beef let me give you some
advice; let it firm up on your freezer a little bit, that will give you a much better end product.
As that was happening this is the second star of today's show, and we all know it's all about the
fat. I'm using the good stuff! Another big tip is to keep all of your equipment in extremely cold as
you can see the whole thing was inserted overnight in my freezer, that way it will keep everything
nice and cold. And to grind up today I'm going to be using this big die I just like the texture of
bigger pieces. Now you can use a small die and even double grind if you chose but for smash burgers
I really like the texture of just a bigger die. That's pretty straightforward all you got to do
is go ahead and grind everything out. And to start I kept everything separate, I first did the fat
then I moved on to the beef. And take a look at the beef, even though there's a little bit of
fat but there's not that much nice and lean just the way we like it. The fat on the other hand look
it's much wider but you also have small pieces of meat because this is the good stuff. Now here's how
this experiment went down, remember I'm going to be needing a good amount so I went ahead and grind
up the whole chuck roast. And to help my grinder even more I cut everything in very small pieces
because I was about to put this thing to work. And the very first one was the control which is
what i usually do, I combine eighty percent of meat followed by twenty percent of fat. The only thing
left is to make some nice three ounce balls and that was ready. The second one we're going to take
it to a new level because I'll be using 70% meat and 30% fat. It all went to the same exact process,
made some balls and the 30% fat was ready. Now the next one we're gonna take it to a different level
and instead of using regular fat I'll be using some butter and the ratio is going to be 20% butter.
Now here's the tricky part you got to slice up this butter I didn't want to pass it through the
grinder if I did everything would just melt, so I went ahead and sliced everything up in small cubes
and combined everything together. Because in the end take a look, I was left with some incredible
balls. And my hopes is that this is going to be the next best burger in the world because the next one
is just crazy. When they say a burger is going to give you a heart attack this is the one they're
talking about because i'm mixing 50% meat and 50% fat. Now that is something you don't see every
day! As once I was done this is what I was left with. All of my balls are ready to go. Remember
I'll be using two three ounce balls for each burger and don't forget we also gotta add cheese.
Many people say that this is not real cheese but trust me it is the best for burgers. Now let's
talk about the buns, I'll be using Guga's buns I have the full recipe on a link on the description
down below for you. Now there's one thing we cannot forget and that is the sauce, and to make it it's
super easy because I combined a good amount of mayo, followed by ketchup, a little bit of yellow
mustard, and finished that off with worcestershire sauce. Mixed everything well and my sauce was ready.
And it's the perfect sauce to go along with some burgers. Talking about that the only thing left
to do is to go ahead and cook up these balls. And here's how it's going to go down; The first thing
to do is to smash them up and for that I have upgraded my system to a smasher. I always like
to put a little parchment paper right on top this will ensure that nothing will get stuck, then I'll
be seasoning them with only salt and nothing else. Once I get a nice crust on the bottom and I see a
little bit of juices flowing on the top it's time to flip, once that's done I immediately go in with
the cheese. I cover it up for two seconds then I stack both burgers on top of each other and
lay them down on the bun resulting in an amazing burger. Because the only thing left to do is to
cook about 20 of them and I cannot wait to find out which one is gonna taste better. Because now
I say it is enough talking and it is time to make some incredible burgers. So let's do it!

But now let's get right back to it.
All right everybody it's a beautiful rainy day but we got burgers.
-This is really what's in charge of the setting today. -Yeah he's he's doing a disservice it's it's
a dark and gloomy night in Miami but these burgers they captivate us all. -They made the day better.
-Yeah. -We got an experiment going on all right I just want your honest opinion. -Do you see the smile
on my face? I don't think this is going to fade. Hey burgers this is my jam. Enough talking let's give
this a try. I'll tell you one thing everybody it is damn juicy man. -Oh my god this looks
incredible. -All right you know enough it's getting cold all right come on. -Cheers everybody. -Cheers!
-Wow! -It's the burger that changes my life every time I try it. -I know right!
-Me too. -Yeah this is a life-changing burger everybody
-Just eat this, I'm telling you. -I don't have to try the rest. -No this is the best? -This is winner. -I know this is good
if, if this is the only burger I could eat for the rest of my life I'm happy.
-That's the baseline that's the control let's see if it improves or declines from here. All right
let's go for the next one, because I'm excited for this one let's see. Tell me if there's any
difference, pay attention to the texture all right. -Okay. -Let's see, cheers everybody. -Cheers.
-So good. -Really, really good. Juicier than the previous burger. -It is juicer. -Immediately I just
get it just a waterfall juice. -Juicier everybody what does that tell you? This one is better. Yeah?
So this one has 30% fat and the other one has 20% fat. More fat more flavor, it's true
everybody. If fat is flavor damn I must be real delicious then. Let's go to the next one. -On to the next.
-Right now yup. Ready Leo? -I'm so ready all right enough talking. Cheers everybody! -Cheers.
-Oh wow! -It tastes so different! -No. -Yes it tastes. -You don't like it? -Oh I like it. -I like this one a lot. -Like
me and you we really like this one. -No, the last two were so much better. -Hold on I gotta go in for a
check because it tastes different and I think i know exactly what happened everybody and
think. -Oh it tastes just like butter! -This one is really good but it has its own unique flavor but it's
not better than the other two. Would you agree? -I agree I think that with this one it emphasizes
the beef more, whereas the previous one it's more about the burger as a whole. -No I think it ruins it.
-You think it ruined it? i think it does ruin it a bit. -So here's my theory all right,
this instead of using regular fat I use butter as you guys know under high temperature butter burns,
so i feel like it has a little bit of the burnt taste from the butter. -I like the first one more
yeah but you can't disrespect this butter one like that. -Don't disrespect the butter bro.
-This one's really good. Don't disrespect the butter. -I'm a disrespectful man right now.
-Oh my God. -Because i don't think it makes it any better and I actually
think it makes it a little worse. -You think so? -And if that's the case, no, I don't think
it's worth the hassle of doing whatever the hell Guga did here. -I agree with you a hundred percent
it does not make it any better but it doesn't make it bad. -No. -But at the same time burning the
butter because you're cooking at an extremely high temperature gives a little bit of like a
burn flavor, smoky flavor it's not worth it, it's not better all right. So far
thirty percent fat is winning yeah? -Thirty percent control are the kings today. -You ready for the
last one? -I'm so ready. -All right let's find out right now. -We going? -Let's see. -We're going.
-That one is stupid juicy everybody this is crazy. -Wow. -Cheers everybody! -Cheers guys.
-Oh my God. -Holy sh. This one is rich boy! -Yeah.-Yea. -I'll tell you guys immediately this one was
done with fifty percent fat. I know we're trying to kill you guys over here. -That's a lot of fat!
This one is a step above in terms of like juiciness, I don't think that this
is better than the 30%. -I think it's because you worry about your health Leo.
I think Leo is like oh my god I'm about to die if I eat 50%
fat burger right here. That's why he's thinking in his head. -I like it a lot but i just think like I get
fat flavor. I get the richness from this burger and it's not something I'm like accustomed
to on burgers. -This is delicious, it's good but maybe not recommended. Now which one is the best?
The winner? -30. -I think it's a 30. -30. -30 and control. -Control is great 20% fat on your burger is
perfect, if you want to go a little bit beyond just go 30, no more than 30. Anyway guys these
