How much mustard is too much mustard?

Allison: works on R+D for a burger place. learns her burger opinions are unpopular. proceeds to create a video lecture of her unpopular burger opinions. 🏆

The passion about what is and is not acceptable on a burger at the beginning had me LOL’ing. Iconic.

This is so chaotic and I'm living for it, another Queen Roman masterclass on cooking

This video deserves an Emmy for the emotional performance. Bravo Alison - one can only aspire to be this passionate and aggressive about burgers.

We missed you, Alison! Don’t ever leave us again lol

“I don’t care for sandwiches” might be the most incomprehensible thing I’ve ever heard you say! :( The Sandwich is the perfect food

I've literally been on the edge of my seat waiting for a new Home Movie. Also, I've found cooking out of Nothing Fancy has really filled the void during the break (not sponsored).

Alison! Why so much hate for a sliced, beautifully ripe tomato on a smash burger? It's perfection!

Finally having a new Home Movie made me a bit more emotional than I expected, but I'm so damned excited to see/hear y'all again. Pickles and Mustard piled high for life.

One method from Carla Lalli Music that I use when I smash burgers is using 2 spatulas -- one for the surface area of the burger and the other you use the heel/handle to push down on the first spatula. I found it super useful for optimum smashing!

This is the most chaotic Alison video to date- and I am HERE for it.

The combo of cooked and raw onion is key. You are so right.

I was so worried you had stopped doing these! Thank you for coming back. x

I made these tonight and wow. So simple, so quick and the most delicious burgers ever! We’ll be making these again!

The pickiness is absurd and I’m here for it. She back! Woo woo

Whenever I order a burger I always say, "With extra pickles - like, more than you would think."

Confession time. Today I recommended an Alison Roman recipe to a colleague. And I told her, my “FRIEND” has a recipe for tuna you would love 😂 It had already left my mouth when I realized I called a KZfaq stranger a friend lol. So cheers to you, friend 💕

Omg yessss! I literally rewatched the Thanksgiving episode yesterday because I was missing Home Movies so much!

Alison Roman, how we have all missed you!!!💖

That sliding you experienced is the best argument for shredduce. The texture of the shreds sorta grips the top bun, as opposed to the slick surface of those lettuce sheets which definitely encourages the slide. Besides that necessary function, a fresh pile of green shreds is absolutely crunchy and delicious. Other than that, your burger is perfect...once you add ketchup, lol.

Either I never realized before today how much I’m into someone telling me how I should build my burger or this combo is just damn good OR both (:

So happy you’re back and now I have a kitchen to try these recipes!! A lot happened since we last saw you!

I made these and WOW. You take simple ingredients and methods and put them together in such a fabulous way! 🤤🤤 love from Montana.

Happy first day of summer to all Alison lovers!

i would never voluntarily eat a burger with such an abundance of onion...but I am glad it makes you happy and I am happy to see the return of home movies

this episode is so chaotic lol love it!

love the chaos youre bringing to this one

I know this comment has nothing to do with the cooking, but I'm happy to see Alison's signature orange nail polish is back after a brief hiatus.

I dont even eat meat but just enjoyed so much watching this video. How you explain everything and why you like it in a particular way

Yayyyyyyy you’re back. Youve been sorely missed. Where have you been keeping your charm, you’re wit, you’re cheekiness. Glad you’re back. 🥰👍

Didn't know how much I missed your videos until I heard you talking. You are just fun. Glad you are back.🙂

I missed you! So happy for a new Home Movies! ♥️

this came at the perfect time for me. i’ve been quickly realizing (hot take) that krystal is my perfect burger and this incorporates all the elements that make it my fav. plus i have about a million potato buns leftover from a bbq this weekend. WINNER WINNER BURGER DINNER

"If you come at me with that cheddar, I👏don't 👏want 👏it" (crew losing it in the background) I'm

I really missed this, thank Burger God Home Movies are back!

I’m so glad you are still making home movies 🥰

the chaos and sass in this video is unparalleled aka this might be one of my favorite videos after the nyt thanksgiving special

SO HAPPY YOU’RE BACK!!!!! YAY!!!!

I swear you’re clairvoyant. I just made smash burgers the other day and was like how would Alison make this?

I have never heard someone so passionately despise something so classic as a burger hahaha. Glad you found your smashburger niche

Home Movie is BACK!! Love you Alison Roman❤

missed these so much

It’s been so long. I’ve been checking the channel daily and now you are back! You have been truly missed🥰🥰

Happy to have you back. Hope you enjoyed your break. 🌻

I just got shouted at by Alison for 19 minutes and I loved it.

OMG YAY!!!! I Have been dying for more of you.

It feels like a smash burger like never before.

Love your videos, even when it's not something I would eat. I prefer my burgers quickly grilled and served with a garden fresh tomato (preferably Cherokee Carbon or Indian Stripe) & mayo.

God do I love these home movies.

Since watching this video, I’ve made these so many times! So so good!!!

Agree 100% with your method AND ingredients! 👍🏻 (I cut my onions very thin, too….)

This video is so cleverly produced. You are a delight to watch and to listen to...plus the recipes are always spot on.

Will have to do the combo onion style next time. I sort of split the difference by putting raw onions on the underside of the burger on the flip. That doesn't get the other side as browned, but it hasn't bothered me. I actually ran out of American Cheese last burger and basic sharp cheddar does not work. On occasion, I like a little bit of heat just for fun, so I create a chunky relish with the pickles and jalapenos.

This channel deserves much more subscribers! Nice job 👍 Cheers from San Diego California

Girl, where have you BEEEN? So glad to see you. Watching at midnight and I might have to go cook a burger…

A pleasure to watch! Looking forward to trying these with two smaller patties (2.5 oz / 71 g) on a bit smaller of a bun. I like the same brand but go with the 12-to-a-pack size over the 8-to-a-pack. More meat to bun.

Appreciate the plant based alternative getting some airtime!

"just because its summertime doesn't mean you need to grill everything." LMAO

✨ Tuesdays can now be glorious again ✨

Thank you for upgrading me. I love all your recipes

I love adding a runny-yoked fried egg; the mix of the egg, mustard and cheese is heaven. And, I feel dill pickles are wonderful served WITH versus IN the burger. Small tweaks to a great burger recipe.

Thank you Alison and team. We missed you. We need you. We love you. Signed, your fans.

Had a burger yesterday, may need to have *this* burger today

Yay, you're back!

I love how aggressive you were explaining what goes on it. 😂✌🏻

This video is spot on and exactly how I like burgers!

I'm in your corner start to finish on this topic, including all the variations and the Peroni. My only addition is to suggest Feltman's (yeah, Feltman's of Coney Island) mustard. French's is classic and perfectly good, but Feltman's is apple cider based and adds a whole new layer of mustardy goodness. Oh, and small All-Clad lids make really good, unbendable, smashers.

Okay, no ketchup is fine, but I NEED Mayo on my burger. Mustard is okay too, but I must have Mayo too! The rest sounds yummy and worth trying! Thanks Alison!

SHE IS BACKKKKK!!!!!

I am so excited to see this!!! I can't wait to make it. I literally make all of your recipes!

The Andy Rooney of Chefs. I loved it! But seriously. Absolutely love your recipes. They never et me down. And truly have elevated my skills in the kitchen. Not to mention they gave me the groove back after the Covid. And for everybody else here. Subscribe to her newsletter and you get recipes frequently, and they have the same spunky spirit as the home videos!

Moon Burger is the BESSSTTTTTT!!!! Omg. I eat there way too much. It’s perfection.

I love iceberg lettuce. The middle crispy leaves are the best on a burger. Not floppy like the outer leaves and not as bitter as the inner leaves. But I'm a mayo, lettuce, tomato girl with kosher pickles on the side.

THE QUEEN IS BACK!!!!!!

Yay, Home Movies is BACK, BAYBEE!

Excited too

It helps if you use something heavy like a meat mallet to really bear down on the spatula, rather than flexing the metal.

Amen to the extra pickles!

This is exactly my style of burger

Nice you included the Veg burger option - today I had a beef burger at a brewery, it was so damn good, then I went to costco and bought plant based sausages, Field Roast. Pretty good too.

You're back! And, making the perfect burger!

Yaaaaay! On my menu today. The beef is in the Frigidaire and the coleslaw was made yesterday.

Missed you tons. Glad you’re back. Hope everything is okay with you.

Idk if it’s the technique or onion but these burgers are amazing ti make tastes like any restaurant burger I’ve made it 2 times I’m going to forever make my burgers this way 4ever 💯💯‼️thanks fir the recipe

I use this recipe all the time ,I do double meat double cheese 🧀 one bun , what a perfect quick burger 👏👏👏👏💯💯‼️‼️‼️

I love everything you make 99.9% of the time. George Motz would possibly cry at this video though.

I love your channel! 💖😊

I like to pre-smash the patties with my tortilla press, and stack them between parchment paper til I'm ready. Easy to store in the fridge, too. Then when I pop them in the hot pan, I take a silicone spatula (so it doesn't stick to the meat) and just quickly run it over the edges outward, to thin the edges out more, and get that lacy crispness. I find 2 oz patties are great for two pre-pressed smash burgers stacked on a bun - and with that size, one 16 oz package of ground beef can make 4 burgers.

I'm gonna order Fresh Direct for the first time. How are you always looking so styled every commercial? Super pretty!

Yay You are back! Question: but doesn't In and Out have the special sauce and tomatoes? Now I'm craving In and Out... going there tomorrow.

THANK YOU for including Impossible Meat! Sometimes I see your videos and I think to myself "this won't be for me" and I am pleasantly surprised by the effort to include plant based options. Love you!

I HATE Mustard! I won't even wash a knife that has mustard on it, someone else had to do it. That having been said, I was so compelled by this video that I decided to "bite the bullet" so to speak, and make these ala Alison smashburgers. I made these tonight... In short...BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER TASTED...it was a Revelation! Try these! You will NOT regret anything...except maybe the clean up... I also grew up on "In 'n out Burgers" in California, like Alison, but always went raw with my onions. I am clearly not as astute as she is. In these Smashburgers both cooked and raw onions creates the most intense delicious onion flavor, it's like it takes BOTH to complete the onion experience. The thin hamburger patty develops a carmelized quality with the onions on the bottom and the cheese melts into the minute crannies made when I smashed the top, who would believe a thin meat patty could be better??? But magically it is with this method! The whole flat grill thing works at ever step. Stacked lettuce creates a satisfying crunchy layer and depth that is importantly necessary! It somehow adds to the thinner burger by making it a bigger mouth texture feel in the collective bite. Pickles also add that necessary acid thing that pulls it all together and offsets any greasiness. I did get the potato buns, only way to go, not dry like a standard bun, toasting in the pan picks up some of the burger grease and adds to the hamburger flavor on the bottom and the top had a nice soft chew. And the mustard...??? Mind over matter going in, I was convinced that this would work...I have made enough of Alison's recipes to know that when she insists on something her way, that she has never been wrong! I squirted spirals on top AND bottom buns...the kind of blind things you do for love! I had to trust her yet again, and I did...and am I glad I did! I LOVE Mustard!!! Who knew??? Thank YOU Alison! I thought I loved you, but it was mustard all along! (we can still be friends...you are not dumped...something better...friends forever!) I will forever think of you, Dear, when I eat mustard! Am now looking for recipes I have avoided for years with mustard in them...chicken with mustard sauce (Ina has one that looks good), HOT DOGS with mustard, honey mustard dressed salads...here I come...!!!

fuck yeah, alison roman. she's beauty, she's grace - and she's back, baby!

Good lord we’ve missed you!!! And BURGERS!!!

this whole vid is like an extended version of the pie monologue from when harry met sally but about burgers

Aggressive Alison is my favorite Alison! 🤣

Ive waited with bated breath for weeks for a new video. Now ive died by asphyxiation

Did Alison finally get a non-generic chef knife? Love it!

I'm on board, especially concerning Impossible Burger, love. Though I like mayo w/ the mustard and yes, I need a slice or 2 of tomato, salt/pepper on all raw condiments. Ketchup is for french fries, with mayo also.
