ah what are we doing now kevin let's bring her out here folks please welcome julia child julia
watch yourself
nice to see you again
how you been we're good you have a good holiday season yep we're in the middle of it looking
forward to christmas yeah what did what did you do for thanksgiving well we ate turkey we were way up
in vermont when i'm in california i don't like it up there everyone's five miles away on an icy road
in vermont well you have to be a natural new englander you didn't you didn't cook when you were
up there no i just ate yeah what's your what's the well then i didn't like not having any cold turkey
when we got back home well that's the drawback i know it is it's better to stay home i think yeah
so when you do cook for the holidays what would be traditional if you were to invite me to your
home for the holidays fat chance but if that was well i would would you i'd come
from near pepperdine university to santa barbara i'd love to i'd give her one what would we have we
took hamburger but in a very special way yeah but but for thanksgiving what would we have
well don't you like turkey always don't you like something i like turkey i like turkey once a year
i like turkey yeah yeah well i thought if you came i'd give you a turkey yeah but something i mean
a real knockout you know the kind of thing i'd be talking about for months what would we have
we have lots of seals up there if you had braised seeds
they're not fishy but that's and it's an interesting fishy taste no
no don't even joke about something like that well then we'll have to go back to hamburger david
but a very special kind of we wouldn't have like jello salad we wouldn't have one no we certainly
wouldn't we'd have a real traditional we wouldn't have bean sprouts or any of that stir fried
and we wouldn't have anything nutritional you know i don't like that kind of food well in turkeys
aren't they loaded with all kind of preservatives and they're just uh full of chemicals and
that's just what the chicken raisers say oh okay so tonight tonight we're gonna cook right here
a very fine hamburger okay and here it is right here very fine meat hamburger this is some of
the best meat who came over from good morning america because they all look at their shows
they all look at your show and they said baby this is good morning america meat it certainly is
going to really fix it up like they never have that's a special category that the usda has
arrived at for television this is gma meat ladies and gentlemen exactly all right any uh do you get
it fat do you get it lean well i don't think it's any good if it's too lean because hamburger is
not diet food no that's right if you don't have enough fat in it you ain't gonna have any flavor
and tenderness that actually provides the flavor this is about well they like to say 80 percent
lean which means 20 fat all right 20 percent the least what's the ground beef going for these days
this was a dollar 29 very good we got 10 off because it was good morning morning america
all right now we're gonna fix it up and would you like to grate it or don't you like onion
on there no i love onion and we have one minute for the whole thing that's all we have oh because
we were killing all the time at the top of the show and now we only have a minute i was going
to be stopped we'll do that in 20 seconds david no no we'll just grade the onion you're going to
feel great the onion and i'll put in a little salt and pepper you know is it better to grate the
onion or chop it up grateful oh grate it because we're not going to cook it oh my thumb oh oh
well that won't help that'll help the hamburger what's up yeah let me get that in the meat there
and i'll be good for it fine all right let's uh do we do a commercial now no i'm sorry
my my clock is completely out of whack here did we get enough money to have a good hamburger has
david hartman ever eaten one of these hamburgers no he never has this it's especially for you oh
thank you very much you know i just love him and we're going to miss him when he goes oh seriously
why don't you come over and do that come over here so when you could leave here and then come
on skin here at five o'clock in the morning have you ever cooked something julia that just turned
out awful yes lots and lots yeah and what do you do then what happens i'll give it to my husband
put it in the pan all right i'm sorry then we got to put it on what we're doing
wow this is one hamburger well look at the size of that you can feed the national guard with that
it's going to be very very good it's very nice as a late night the olive oil in there that's a
little bit is this is this one of those the coated pans what's that yeah it's a coated wonderful i
don't know what did they put on there but isn't that poisonous won't that give off the radiation
or something no you know what they did they burned i mean about 800 of those pants and fell there was
nothing wrong with them at all that's fine okay so this is going to be very rare i think okay
good morning and didn't pay the electricity bill apparently well this is their pen anyway
this is embarrassing everything comes from good morning america well the stove is yours oh yeah
well that's a beauty too huh just like grandma used to make what is that a mattel that's nice
uh okay we'll uh we'll be right here to see how this uh hamburger turns out
all right we're back with julia child and we're in the middle of
frying a hamburger but what happened exactly well no that's if i brought mine over from good morning
america it would have worked this doesn't work does it work at all change it to beef tartare
that's just good because it's got all the onions that's going to be absolutely it's just ground
beef don't you use a higher quality than no you don't have to don't have to particularly
when you have what we're going to put on it this is going to have a little mustard
on like this you're going to love this i'm not going to be eating it so you're not well it's
just it's raw beef and you get to you get to you get dysentery from eating that won't you
oh no you don't hepatitis no what what do you get from eating uncooked meat you get healthy
now we have a finishing touch right away it's going to be beefed her to our gratinee and you
don't have any cooking equipment here you don't have a broiler we're going to what is this this is
that's supposed to light where's your cigar i don't like that
there no do you want to you want to grab it now i just i just turn it on the cheese there
yeah so the object is to melt the cheese over the raw beef but this is a very nice kind of recipe
what do you do you cook this when the car breaks down on the highway somewhere
well i mean if you come to a place where they don't have the proper kind of cooking equipment
you bring your own stuff but now this isn't good but this is not a real recipe is it just
raw beef and melted cheese well you're gonna try it i think you're
going to love it but this is the kind of thing that would start riots in prisons
oh no this is very good quality very hot all they serve is melted cheese and raw meat
what else
actually a serious a serious cooking game now what do you
what do you call this julia what do you uh what do we call this it's called beef tatar or grata
it smells pretty good well doesn't it smell good oh i can't wait to get into that raw
beef and it's very healthy it's very helpful here in a minute it's on a whole wheat peter
so that's nourishing and if you don't have one of these what use your hat i guess yes it makes no
difference to you does it just go ahead how about it stuff it into an oven mitt there's good eating
now are you going to have a little my certainty let's have a look
okay howard take the day off will you oh very good now we're gonna we're gonna
see this is a new recipe though i've never you know
no that was let me try a little more because we don't want to we don't want to give people the
wrong impression here that we're eating something we shouldn't be eating well you don't have to eat
it if you don't want no i it's just i've never eaten raw ground beef before but haven't you
read beef tartar it's the same thing is it really oh yeah yeah it's very chic to eat you know kappa
well it's uh it's very interesting it's very interesting you're very inventive and very quick
on your feet well i'm thinking next i know the stuff's got to get back to good morning america
well but next time let's have something we'll do something right we'll get something for
you that works thank you very much have a nice birthday we'll uh we'll be right back
