Ten years ago, this guy made a sandwich with ingredients completely from scratch. Growing, slaughtering, and preparing every ingredient just for one sandwich. It took months, cost thousands of dollars, and tasted kinda okay.
He retries the sandwich quest after a decade, but now even more from scratch.
It’s extremely impressive that he did this but it’s also completely crazy that he went to this extreme and apparently did not practice cooking or baking at all during the entire time or research anything about how buns or patties are made. It looks like utter shit. If you served me that I would be like what the fuck is wrong with you. This is not an issue of not having binders or whatever and entirely an issue of shit technique
It’s like the Nilered video where he makes the “precise” chocolate chip cookie out of NIST lab reference materials that means the cookie was like $4,000 and he made a cookie that was absolute shit. Like bro I know you can do the most basic level of internet research and following directions, you’re going to tell me you couldn’t find a recipe that was half decent and test it out with materials that weren’t precious first?
To bake a cake from scratch you must first create the universe.
