How to Cook Miami's Legendary Cuban Burger with George Motz | Burger Scholar Sessions
소스 코드
- 게시일 2020. 05. 18.
- Burger Scholar George Motz says that if you're ever in Miami, you owe it to yourself to visit Little Havana-a neighborhood known for its iconic regional burger, the Cuban Frita. Served on a Cuban roll and topped with crispy potato sticks, the burger patty is seasoned with Chorizo spices and doused in a secret red sauce. The Cuban Frita is a culinary survivor of the exodus following the Cuban Revolution, and remains one of the great Cuban-American gastronomic expressions. Here is your master class on the Cuban Frita.

Does ketchup belong on a burger?
Absolutely not, I agree with Mr. Motz glorious, unadulterated burgers are the best.
Yes, but I'm small quantities. Along with mustard and relish.
Yes and no. If it’s a bad burger and you’re just trying to get through the bbq then yes. If using beautiful flavorful meat for the pattie then no. Maybe a little cheese of your choice and that’s it.
I mean, I grew up eating them that way. Now, after watching the burger show, I mix together a mayo/mustard/ketchup sauce. But I'm not opposed to it.
Only on shitty chain burgers, good quality burgers deserve better
i dont mind how instead of trying to describe what the burger tastes like, he just says "it's good" and grunts like a caveman
that's all i really gotta know and it's awesome
HAHAHAHAHAHA I AM THE SUPREME BEING OF KRplus AND I HAVE TWO GIRLFRIENDS EVEN THOUGH I AM THE UNPRETTIEST KRplusR OF ALL TIME!!! Good bye jenny

@@MikeHesk742 Ah. Bad bot.
I like George best in this format! When he has to teach other hosts, he has to turn down the quirkiness of a burger obsessive to get the information across. This style, with all the flubs and back and forth with himself is the best George!
Him and Alivin are a good duo, even though I agree I love this guy by himself
YES! Yes so much! More of this please FWF! Even though I think these 5 minute videos are bringing the most out of George, I'd definitely watch episodes even longer, like 8-10-ish minutes long even.
Motz you're awesome!
disagree. it makes his video lame and causes me to constantly fast forward.
It's just a nerd being a nerd. He doesn't have to worry about being "nagging" to somebody else while being sweaty about burger history. And that's awesome!
I think the cooking videos where the hosts are their own quirky selves do the best.
We need more George! I love this series. I wouldn’t mind seeing some longer videos with him too. 5 minutes of Motz ain’t enough.
A travel show with him wod be awesome!
*would
Agreed, if not longer episodes then more often once a week isn't enough.
Motz is a man after my own heart. Keep bringing it! 💪
"Here's the thing **crunch** mm mhmm mmm"
-George Motz 2020
This show is everything I didn't know I needed in my life.
@Cris2 Times huh?
To me it is nothing I need in my life. Hope you’re alright, bud.
These are so good! His enthusiasm is infectious.
The only problem is I watch this at work, first thing in the morning, and now all I can think of is having a burger... again
my brain: don’t watch any more of this show, you know it’ll make you hungry for burgers
me at 3am: watches video anyway
Honestly, I wish these were longer, I wish he went super in depth, I wish I could see more of Motz! I love this guy and I love this show!
I wish George offered in person classes.
So far I don't think he's done a single new burger on this show. It's all been stuff he's made on other First We Feast videos.
Read his book Hamburger America for a lot more depth
I was in Miami on a trip with the family and stumbled on El Mago De Las Fritas and I saw George Motz's book behind the register. I had seen him on The Burger Show a couple of times but that visit there solidified my desire to begin my own burger journey and study everything he does. So delicious. Also the staff there were so good to my family, helping us explore Cuban-American food and treating us so well. Loved that place.
"You're not really in Miami if you're not eating like this"
Mad respect from a Cuban from Miami 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bro I’ve never had one and I’ve lived in Miami all my life
When I visited Miami my Airbnb was near little havana and I accidentally stumbled upon El Reye de Las fritas. It was amazing.
@@devonvelazquez7882 I mean, like Motz says in the video you can only really find fritas commonly in the Little Havana area. I've lived in Miami all my life too and I think you're doing a disservice to yourself if you've never had one!
Motz makes me want to drop everything in my life and just live on the road in a neverending burgerhunt for the rest of my life
Burger rampage.
@@Codgerism one man burger apocalypse
Become a Nomad. They are always looking to recruit people, and the bigger the group, the better the chances on scoring some burgers from every town you travel through.
Motz is definitely deserving of his own show.
I am from Miami and I have been eating fritas since I was little and there amazing. That one looks pretty good
I wish he'd present videos that weren't in his previous series so we get something new!
But man, I absolutely love this series. Please give us more!!!!
Dude there are only so many burgers in the world. He's just trying to spread knowledge and wisdom throughout.
I wish they didn't use the exact same footage from a previous video to show the burger... Still entertaining to hear George talk though.
@@MrDunkieX bit difficult to get people together to reshoot it. Motz can only do so much by himself.
This made me miss home. Im a student in Orlando right now but in Miami, Im born and raised in Little Havana , 2 blocks away from the Domino park and El Rey. This made me smile. Awesome vids, keep it up. Oh and the ending about getting off the beach and heading to eat some authentic Miami food, mad respect. Miami is certainly not just South beach lol.
Is it me or does he look like Johnny Knoxville's dad?
It's probably just me lol
😂😂
It's not only you
thats who he reminds me of! i couldnt figure it out
That’s been a constant running joke since we first saw him haha
first time i've ever been this early to class
The best food youtuber posting on the second best food youtube channel. Thats cool.
Oh shit. A rare Internet Shaquille sighting. KRplus get you that partnership yet?
😭😭😭😭😭🤣💀
George is the crazy professor I never knew I wanted, but always needed, in my life. 🍔💛
I assumed from the preview this was gonna be a longer format show with Motz traveling around which would be fantastic. It's great but 5 mins of Motz ain't enough
I just binged all three of these in a row, ddamn George, this show is good. I love hearing you talk about burgers! Brightened up my day for sure, keep em coming!
More of this guy please. Love this guys commitment to the burger.
Cant get enough of this series: burger knowledge is going through the roof! The fam will be sampling the featured Motz burger from every video!
I won't lie, this show is hands down! the best on First We Feast!! We need more George!!
I agree. More George.
Absolutely love these videos with George Motz
This show is the perfect thing I didn't know I needed to complete the already perfect thing that is "The Great American Burger Book". It's the perfect video guide and I can't get enought of it!
Great episode!
Great episode for sure!
Man, you can totally find all of those ingridients and spices in Cuba, where do you think we live, Mars? 😂
no buh buh but comulism bad! No food! (or all same food, depends on what's being pushed by the American zeitgeist at that moment)
my dude just couldn't resist sprinkling his anti-communist beliefs in a burger video
Totally, communist rule destroyed the burger trade in Cuba? American sanctions helped!
@@digitalone4487 They said "we" and you turn around and immediately assert more bs
My father and grandparents came over from Cuba right before communism started. Since then we have been back a few times. I promise you, there is nothing positive about communism. If any of you think its some sort of utopia, go and visit, maybe stay for a while, let me know how it works out for you. Guy I work with is from there as well, his brother was a lawyer, made $50 a month, did some side work for extra cash, got arrested. Doesn’t sound like a great place to me.
That fist grip at 4:45 ish when biting a pure ecstatic food really resonated with me as i do the same with both stunning burgers and when a Calzone is made to perfection.
By far my new favorite KRplus show....by a long shot. More...more...more please. Bought the book, bought a cast iron flat top, bought a burger smasher, and scooper. Pumped and ready to cook me some burgers!
Im from Miami his burger is legit af 😯🍔😎 and if youre ever in Miami my favorite is from Sergios.
I'm originally from Miami and I am a fan of Sergio's too. I have lunch with my half-brother there whenever I'm down, although a pan con bistec is my go-to.
Sergios frita is so underrated
George just turned "my strange addiction" into a career. 500 IQ.
Love George in this format! Keep it coming!!
Exactly! We need him on the burger show.
This man is a hero! Thank you Burger Scholar!
"I wouldn't normally consider a hamburger something with stuff in the meat, this is the one exception I do make." Except for all those other ones, like that slugburger I made literally two episodes ago.
I think he meant spicing the meat, besides a slug burger is more of an historical one
Yeah he means stuff he doesn't consider authentic and traditional. The Slug burger mostly has breadcrumbs in it, its not exactly fancy. You saw the fuss he made about ketchup. To him, putting things like paprika in it he would never do, unless its actually the burgers history and authentic tradition. In this case he would actually be disrespecting its heritage if he didn't.
This guy is the best. New fav series
I am impressed. I like when people think out out of the box.
When he said no ketchup on burgers I was hurt very deeply. 😂 Cool video!
I wouldn't be surprised if George is actually Brad Leone's father
pass me the wourder son
Hahahahahaha!
I love the intro jingle and outro song
This man's videos give me life. More please!
Blessed be the Burger Owl,
Long May He Reign
ahahhahaha
"Does ketchup belong on a burger?
"
The only correct answer should be:
*Different strokes for different folks*
Are you the new Justin Y?
You clearly are a bot, your everywhere!
Asking if ketchup belongs on a burger is like asking if pineapple belongs on pizza. One of the answers you'll get is an abomination, all others are not.
Exactly. This reminds me of how people ALWAYS hate on any genre of music that's not their preferred genre, the world would be pretty boring if everyone was the same
Can we at least agree that ketchup does not belong on a regular hotdog?
The wonderful cracking sound from the stick-fries sells you on this burger all on its own.
I love this show. Definitely need more!
That beard Though 🧔 looks real fine !
I see George Motz, i click like
I think it's fair to say we need this guy even more these days! His burgers (outside of that crazy steamed cheddar burger) are things I can make at home, and you better believe I'm making this for dinner tonight.
A friend of mine said she was going to Miami on vacation and so I sent her this video. I of course rewatched it and was stunned to realize that George made it through the whole video without burning himself! 👍
Cuban frita is a good borger, but a quick correction on the history lesson:
The loss of supplies used to make much of cuban cooking was not caused by the communist regime siezing control, but rather america's decision to embargo the nation, cutting it off from many of the american ingredients it used in its cooking.
This was such a major impact on the very rich french inspired cooking of cuba, that Nitza Villapol, a second generation cuban immigrant who found success returning to cuba and running a cooking show on cuban television, rewrote a large portion of her cookbook, Cocina Al Minuto to be able to be cooked without ingredients that were no longer available after the embargo, such as ketchup. This book is THE center of most cuban cuisine, and its editions from before and after the embargo give a solid view into just how wide of a pool of ingredients america starved Cuba of in response to the revolution.
Thank you. Came here basically to say just that.
Wouldn't that imply then that their cooking wasn't inherently theirs? If Mexico, Peru, China or whatever other country were cut off from importing nothing would happen to their cuisine since they grow everything they need themselves. Why would that not also be the case for Cuba?
@@aR0ttenBANANA That's not how cuisine works, so... no. English Breakfast Tea is a blend of Sri-Lankan, Indian, and Kenyan black teas; that doesn't mean it's not "really" English. I could go on, but I don't know where I'd stop.
Why did the US decide to put an embargo on Cuba?
@@commentcopbadge6665 Because Cuba basically held the southern coast of the US hostage with nuclear weapons during the cold war
Mix a bit of habanero El Yucateco hot sauce with your ketchup next time you eat a burger. Come back here and thank me
love this show, burgers look so easy to make and everyone appreciates a good burger.
I love learning about all of these different burgers
So George, On the Cuban Frita, Exactly How good is it?
George: Here's the thing *crunch* mmm Ahmm mmm MMMM! *CrUnCh* mmmm wow MMMmmmmm!
Soooo? I'm Guessing it's Good Pushing Great?
"It's actually good"
As if the man the myth the legend didn't just make it himself
Another GREAT episode. Motz is my burger hero.
OK this is a genius program. I love the guy, I love the subject and the montage is really on point. I want to see more videos with him!!
4:34 me when I come back visiting my mom
That’s interesting, I’m like that too when I visit your mom but I don’t think we’re both talking about the same thing.
Something tells me that many Cubans would take offense in saying that the REAL Frita is extinct on the island because thanks to Castro they don't have beef, onions, spices and the like (¿?). They'd probably call yours the gusano frita.
Yh damn those Cubans for putting an embargo on themselves limiting what they are able to import
Ryan Spooner lol you got that backwards, the US put an embargo on cuba for being socialist and nationalizing formerly US owned oil refineries in cuba. many western nations followed suit because of the cold war and because the US generally strong arms everyone else. the embargo limits both exports and imports of cuban goods, so as to isolate them economically.
apparently beef consumption is restricted in cuba, but this sandwich could exist with pork.
@@lilchinesekidchen I suspect this was an ironic comment
Love this new series keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cuban from Miami, and I’ll tell you you’re absolutely right about everything said here. Good job 👏🏻
This dude has disabled all the smoke detectors in his apartment mostly to cook but also to smoke weed
Facts
Man, it would be amazing to chill with him and talk about burgers and history.
and be his taste tester lol
love the personality.
LOVE the editing on this! GIVE THAT PERSON A RAISE!
3:01 - high def enough where you can see hair in the burger. Ha
He should’ve shown the basics of the red sauce.
This is the best version of the burger show. 1000x better i love it
Awesome job. I live in Miami and have been to El Ray and had the original and its epic.
They call me Cuban beef,
I'm king of all the meats
When I'm on the barbecue I start
S-Sizzl-ing S-Sizzl-ing
Yes sir I'm Cuban beef
People praise me of my
rarest meat, When I'm
fully cooked, people go
Yum Yummy yum, yum yummy yum
The restaurants they mass
produce and get it from (agricultores)
For a good price, fresh not on ice
And when you eat that juicy
burger it'll explode with so much (sabor)
Singing about it, all the day long
So if you like to cheat,
take a lesson from an athlete
So your heart doesn't go
tick-ticka-boom, tick-ticka-boom
tick-ticka-boom
Brah, that slaps
the mask?
@@Dan-sb2fb yes i just took some of the lyrics and made up others.
Bobby Barrett nice
Most of us in Miami are laughing. Mostly because everyone has their own recipe. As a native, I call this 90% correct.
Yes, everyone has their own recipes, do you like that too?
Hell yeah. Native Miamian here. Born and raised in little Haiti. And I'm so glad you said, "get off of Miami/South Beach, go across 395, or 195 and go to the mainland basically. That's where the culture is.
I love this guy
I wonder if George has ever heard of the Venezuelan "burger" Patacón, considering is less of a burger and more like a gastrointestinal payload to heart failure. 2 fried and smashed plantains, a patty, flattened chicken breast, a pork chop, sauce and shoestring potatoes.
Rari holy shit *no pun intended*
This show is amazing
I love this dude
I'm not sure if I want George to be my Friend or my Dad.
I want him to be my burger daddy
why not both?!
Yeah Castro was just like "yeah no more hamburgers", it had nothing to do with the trade embargo imposed by the united states.
I love this show
Miami native here. All this makes me want to do is wait for the quarantine to be over so I can go to El Rey de las Fritas, sit at the counter and eat two of these bad boys.
Thank you so much for actually getting Cuban bread from Miami. Every time I see "Cuban bread" on any kind of video it's anything but our beloved Cuban bread. It's be compared to a French baguette, and I don't understand why.
60 years of international trade embargo will do that
what the hell is this makeshift kitchen about im more curious about that then the burgers
Brendan Maruyama ???
I love how George focuses on the smash aspect (something he’s done in almost every video) and not on the sauce which is arguably one of two things that makes this burger super unique.
Keep this series up!
Great vids
3:53 "We have ketchup int his house." Not in the back, in the trash you mean
I was laughing in miami when ya ssid people would be laughing at ya in miami. But props on it and telling ppl to get their asses off the beach
Dis stuff is gold
This show makes me want a burger literally every day of the week.
I think a marmite-thin layer of ketchup is okay. He's right, its overwhelming, so you only need a little bit on a burger to get the taste.
Coward
The history lesson was dumb, but the burger looks amazing
I need them to hear this, I love the passion you put in this show but could you please also expand on the buns used every time?
I find myself always questioning what sort of a bun is it, how it impacts the burger experience and so on.
You sir, have the greatest job on Earth.
Happy that george finally got the show! had nothing against alvin personally, but it didn't sit well with me that @firstwefeast had a clearly obese man eating burgers like that. it was like watching an addict doing heroin and celebrating it
Roger Greenberg let the dude live his life man, damn.
* before USA imposed sanctions on Cuba
Looking for this
@Cosmin Costea if communism always fails (which we know to be true) why not let it fail on its own instead of having us be the bad guys that force the failure quicker?
@Cosmin Costea exactly, so why impose sanctions and an embargo on Cuba while giving China and the founders of communism (🇮🇱) a free pass?
@Cosmin Costea seems we're on the same page. We should work to end that. Bring the jobs home and purge the small hats from power.
@Cosmin Costea or at least that's what they claim the money is for
im so glad you guys got Motz doing this hes a really funny guy
I went to El Rey de Las Fritas in Miami today and had one with bacon and Swiss cheese. I cried tears of joy. It's the best burger I've EVER had.
No, that's primarily due to the embargo. SMH
0:41 you mean, like affordable insulin in the US ?
Nice job George. I grew up with these, your's looks legit, and your advice to eat one while in Miami is right on.
JUST AWESOME, THANKS!
