As an Oklahoma who has been to El Reno many times, I reccomend if you want to put anything on the bun, I reccomend mustard. That's how they do them.

Kenji is the best. Kenji's books and channel on youtube are straight facts. He's a trustworthy dude. At home just skip a few of the steps and make whatever you are making to your taste. Substitute ingredients or omit them if you don't have them. It's going to take at least twenty tries to make a meal as beautiful as J. Kenji. J. Kenji is a cooking master.

Kenji gave no credit whatsoever to George Motz, the king of Oaklahoma onion burgers and much more of an authority on this recipe than Kenji. Motz makes them better anyway and I use his 3oz double patty method. We all know Kenji knows who Motz is, so why the total and complete snub?

Kenji before filming: "Hey, do you guys have an onion towel?" NYT staff: "A what?" Kenji: "nvm, I found one"

Also Kenji: you guys got a spatula? NTY staff: we have these two spades. Kenji: uhh… okay.

Kenji is one of this type of people that explaining super clearly with a natural tone is like a second nature for them. I wish every teacher was like Kenji.

Kenji's talent for communicating the reason and the emotion of why one does it his way is unparalleled. I never tire of his content.

I watched one of George's videos on the Oklahoma Onion burgers a while back and now i'm obsessed. I learned a few new tips from Kenji that I'm going to start using now too. Another tip I saw somewhere was to put a small pat of butter down and put the patty on that. I like that!

how hefty of a toddler, kenji needs to be more clear with his instructions. lol

Sid's Diner and Robert's Grill, where the Onion Fried Burger was invented and is still served, were basically across the street from where I went to school in the mid-90s in El Reno, Oklahoma! So, I got to eat them long before they became cool and well-known nationally. El Reno even has Onion Fried Burger Day where they make and serve an enormous (like a dozen feet across) onion fried burger that I got to have some of each year. I don't see my former home town mentioned on KZread very often, so this was really cool!

I doubt Kenji has ever actually been to OK to have an authentic onion burger. LoL

In inherited my mom's now 75-year-old heavy iron burger-smashing spatula with a wooden handle. Combined with a cast-iron skillet, it's possible to make the best burgers in the world.

just discovered this guy. he has a really nice way of explaining why something taste the way it does. 10/10

Interesting how NYT's ad for this video on social media is littered with comments hating on how "unsafe" the onion towel method is. Here on KZread, all the comments are straight love and appreciation for Kenji. Go Kenji, his methods are superior! And thank you NYT for featuring him!

Kenji’s Culinary School coming soon? Your teaching skills ,both cooking and the food science is incredible. I never miss any of your videos. Cheers 🇨🇦🍷👍🇨🇦

Looks like a pretty authentic methodology. I make these outdoors by heating cast iron on our gas grill. I close the hood after the buns go on. It does impart flavor but doesn't steam the buns and falls short of Cosmic Oneness. I will next try the onion towel technique (and have tongs and a bucket of water ready for when I catch the towel on fire.)

It is amazing to me how Kenji can cook and teach in real time. And those burgers look fantastic. Great technique with the onion-towel.

I live two miles from Telway. Detroit loves you Kenji!

Made this last night. The onion smell has not left me or my apartment since. Incredible burgers, though. Like, stupid stupid good. Was great to bust out the mandolin.

Needs mustard, but that is a proper onion smash burger. Traditional. Beautiful.

Got to remember to powerbottom my buns like Kenji does.

...but only a hefty toddler, not some weak toddler.

Yum yummmmm LOVE the way Kenji explains everything and just in general LOVE KENJI!

his articulation skills is insane!

HE BROUGHT THE ONION TOWEL LET'S GO

I’m an hour away from El Reno; the Onion burgers are so worth it, and the cast iron skillet is: **chefs kiss**

Wow, I never thought in my lifetime I’d hear Kenji reference Telway. It’s a closet small slider shop in the neighborhood which I grew up in Southwest Detroit. Also the best coffee in town.

Kenji you have truly awakened my love for cooking and food in general

I made these last night. Now I have an onion towel. Yellow mustard, and dill pickle slices. Amazing!

Definitely going to try your tricks. Thank you.

love watching kenji cook especially late night xD

needs more POV from Kenji

Getting us ready for the next great depression with some amazing recipes!

As an Okie and El Reno resident for many years at a point in my life. Well done ! Looks amazing as they always do !

Thanks! 🙏🏼 I’m going to try this 🙌🏼

I’m an okie and I just think this is so cool!

i love kenji and i’m gonna make these on the line next time i get a lunch break :)

This is my type of burger, simple light and really flavourful

kenji just seems like the loveliest guy

Hands down this is my favorite burger. Highly recommend.

I can't imagine anyone not wanting their house to smell like onions.

"the way a hefty toddler would squeeze playdough" - these are the cooking indicators I need more of

I used this technique to make burgers for four guys. Everyone loved them.

I've been making a lot of these for me and coworkers lately. Such a tasty treat!

Attempted a half-arsed version of these last night and it was the best burger I've ever made. Very keen to see how good a full-arsed one is.

INSTANT save to my playlist!

In Okalahoma they put a drop of mustard on the griddle before smashing the burger down on to it.

Just made these. They were 🔥 Kenji is the man ❤

Wow, those look amazing!

I’m definitely doing this

this is the best way to do a burger. its terrific

I cannot believe he mentioned Telway! I'm not from Michigan but I've visited that place many times when I travelled there. It's been a few years now but I do remember that their sliders were the bomb and they were only like a buck per slider.

I wouldn't have thought about the towel method and quite ingenious actually; but looking forward to trying it actually and it probably captures the flavors of everything...❤

nice Telway shout out..... props for that.

Good ole J.R. Jim Ross would be so happy!

I've never heard of this style of burger - can't wait to try!

Thank you so much for this video, I want to make these for my family!! 😋🍔 it's really cool how much information I learned too, i never knew these burgers date back from the depression, thanks again, Oklahoma onion burger looks amazing

The real deal El Reno burgers are smashed a bit thinner than that but are the BEST burger I can recall!

Pickles and mustard on the heel, and it's perfect!
