Salute to Burger Scholar George Motz, our national treasure. Like if you want the Motzman to return for another season!

I need a Netflix special with this guy!

I'm from New Mexico, and that's accurate. We put green chile on EVERYTHING. The tumble weed is the most touristy thing I have ever seen.

"People from Wisconsin take their butter very seriously" Me: -tears in eyes- You're goddamned right.

It's incredible this man has eaten thousands of burgers but is still visibly excited by each one

1. Who ever does the sound effects for this show is a genius. 2. I just love how every bite George takes is a surprise of deliciousness, despite having likely tried each burger dozens of times.

As a Wisconsinite, seeing the Butter Burger made me so happy

Old Man Logan has spent his two centuries on this Earth well by gathering all the burger knowledge to bestow upon us mere mortals. Kudos to you sir. KUDOS!

This man's passion for burgers is infectious and now I too would eagerly eat a burger dripping with 3 tablespoons of melted butter or nut sauce.

Our dad fed us olive burgers for the first time when we were just little squirts on our way home from a super long day at Disney Land. He bought a bag of plain McD's burgers and then green olives and mayo from some store and blew our minds with how great these were. Thanks for bringing back that great memory man!

His laugh as he enjoys his burgers just verifies how passionate he is about burgers. I love this guy

“Butter as a condiment, only in Wisconsin.” France: *”Am I a joke to you?”*

Hands down one of the most entertaining people on KZfaq.

this man is so enjoyable to listen to. he knows his shit, doesn't hold back, and is full of positive energy.

As Michiganders, we decided it was important to make both versions of the Olive Burger from George Motz's "Great American Burger Book". The Mr. Fables may be the more famous and lauded, but the version George makes in this episode is the one we preferred! Much easier to assemble and tasted about the same as the other. Keep the George Motz episodes coming! Love that guy!

His 2004 doc being "almost 20 years ago" hit hard

George Motz is goals: spends his life pursuing his passion and finds an outlet to share it with us. Thanks First We Feast for sharing him with us, and thanks George for your undying love of the burger.

George is one of those people that you never knew you needed in your life... then you can never imagine life without him...

The olive burger probably came about because someone ran out of pickles so they just tossed some olives on it and history was made.

New Mexican here. We put green chile on just about everything! George you did us proud!

“Let’s smash together...” Don’t threaten me with a good time

"When you add beef candy to nutsauce..." - George Motz 2020

"Keep chuckling. Keep chuckling. You done yet?" Literally had me lol.

Alvin introducing George to KZfaq has been a blessing

This week's episode of George Motz burns himself was really good!

Green chile is the goat. Having loved a stones throw away from New Mexico after living in Minnesota for years...blew my mind. So good.

I could listen to Motz all day….anyone else thinks his voice is therapeutic?

Great to see the green chile cheeseburgers on here. I've been eating those my entire life, and he's right, I wouldn't consider eating a burger without it.

Much love George for the shout out of the green chile cheeseburger. I've been a fan of your burger ventures for years now and I'm glad to see New Mexico's regional glory!

Ex-Michigander here (lived there from '81-'92). I worked at two of the first restaurants of Hot-n-Now (in Plainwell and Kalamazoo), may that wonderful burger joint rest-in-peace. Midway through their existence they started serving the Double Olive Burger. It was surprisingly good. And hey, if you need any backstory on Hot-n-Now from one of the original workers, give me a holler any time; glad to share history. :)

This guy is literally what America is about.

"There you have it.... nut sauce" - George Motz

The “wow” that George emitted when he revealed the green chile cheeseburger sounded like Shaggy from Scooby Doo.

I feel like by eating a burger I made at home while watching George Motz teach me about Burgers, I have somehow unlocked a burger nirvana achievement

George Motz makes me so happy every time. What a gem.

Man, I love Sir Motz, I've made every single one of these burgers every time a new episode comes out. Think of it as a tradition in my household! Here's to another season with George!

I need someone to just edit together all of George's first bite reactions to the burgers! It will just be an endless cycle of pure joy!

This MAN is a dank memer in his own right. Truly a legend of our time.

You know this man has passion when he can exude this much joy and excitement even after eating thousands of burgers.

Me: Butter burger? Motz: It's from wisconsin Me: How am i not surprised

Michigander here. The Olive Burger may look/sound disgusting, but it's actually delicious. That said, if you don't like olives or mayonnaise, obviously you're not going to like it.

One thing I appreciate about Burger Scholar? They don't broadcast some gimmicky way to enjoy a burger. Plain, simple, and direct approach to finding burger tradition.

I was born and raised in Central MI and never heard of Olive Burgers. Love this guy's passion for burgers.

Jon Favreau really needs George on an episode of his Chef Show on Netflix.

6:53 - Proof that legendary George Motz is actually an alternate version of Shaggy from Scooby Doo that has devoted his life to burgers. Wait for the "Wow"

Thank you for finally doing the olive burger! I'm from central Michigan and was raised on them! They're the best burger in my opinion.

Watching George Motz make burgers just makes me happy. In there trying times it's just so comforting watching some one do something they love and spreading that love.

i thought I was weird making my own burgers at home, but this man has broken so many burger barriers. I wanna try every burger there is now. Burger making is an art form and science.

How much do you wanna bet that his family rolls their eyes when he gets to talking about burgers? Mine would. LOL

I'm from Kalamazoo born and raised, THANK YOU for showing the Olive Burger. It is my absolute favorite burger. We had a drive through called Hot n Now for many years and they had these crazy cheap double olive burger deluxe burgers which were just pure addiction 😳 thank you for highlighting this hyper regional flavor ❤

George Motz; appealing to the History nerd and the burger fat-boy in me, simultaneously. I would listen to this guy talk forever about burgers.

I don't understand how someone could dislike a George Motz video, there's nothing to not like about this man.

Regarding the Olive Burger, we have a similar variation in Northern Minnesota - instead of mayo, we use cream cheese.

I like how passionate he is abt his work. He researched everything abt the hamburger so he can make the most original burger. Really cool dude

*I posted this a few weeks ago when he made the green Chile cheeseburger in a different video. I thought I'd leave it here as well.* I'm from New Mexico, born and raised, and I'm surprised at how accurate these burgers were. We ALWAYS try to cover the entire patty with green Chile. Some quick cultural learnings from someone who has lived in NM for 30 years: 1. Native New Mexicans rarely call our green chile "Hatch" chile, mainly because chile is ubiquitous in NM and we do not tend to differentiate the location. Although, as Colorado pushes their green chile into the mainstream, this has been changing over the years. I still wouldn't count on a native New Mexican to say "hatch chile". Most people who eat NM Chile have never even been to Hatch. 2. Depending on where you are in New Mexico (north or south), our xxxhot batch is usually called "lumbre" or "barker". You can get any type of batch in ALL parts of New Mexico, from mild to xxxhot. I usually buy a bushel of hot (usually called "Sandia") and a half bushel of xxxhot ("lumbre", or "Barker") and mix the different peppers 2:1. This makes for a delicious taste with a really intense heat. 3 As the green chile ripens, the green chiles turn into red. We make a delicious red Chile sauce, with these peppers, in NM. In MOST locations, you can ask for a mix of green and red Chile called "Christmas". This is what I order every time I eat out. In fact, the official state question is: "red or green?". 4. Finally, off the top of my head, some of my favorite restaurants that serve GREAT green chile cheeseburgers: "Sparkys" (hatch, NM)," Blake's Lotaburger" (All of NM), "Days" (Las Cruces, NM) "Laguna Burger", "owl cafe", "frontier"(ABQ, NM), "The Burger Stand" (Taos, NM). Thank you for representing our New Mexican cuisine!

That green chilies burger looks so good!! I am South East Asian, We also took our chilies very seriously.

Friend was obsessed with the olive burgers at Hot N Now in Port Huron, Michigan whenever we popped over from Canada.

The pure sounds of utter delight coming from this man while he cooks and eats smash burgers are a national treasure.

This man is legit. I have seen a lot of "green chile" cheeseburgers on KZfaq; this is the first one to actually get it right.

"Let's smash together" looks like durex has a new slogan

George Motz is to cooking shows what Steve Irwin was to nature shows.

I wish I could be as happy about anything as when George bites into a burger.

I am so glad FWF let George have his own show - love learning about the history behind regional burgers, and how to make them myself. He is hilarious and informative.

For a while, I thought that George would be a good candidate for Hot Ones, but considering he gets the endorphin buzz off of Hatch Chilies, I don't think he'd survive.

I'd definitely would like to eat the butter and green chili burgers.

When I was a starving student I used to buy these frozen patties. They were square and they came with a pad of butter for some reason. Well, let me tell you. That butter makes all the difference in the world between a bland frozen patty and a delicious juicy burger. To this day I still cook burgers and steaks with butter.

When he laughs and says 'Wow!" at 6:50 he sounds so much like a stoned Shaggy from Scooby Doo - then goes on about getting high from the burger.... Is George Motz actually Shaggy?

George: This only exists in western and central michigan. This is a hyper regional burger. Me, a european, looking at a map: Sir, this hyper regional burger is located in a region twice as big as my entire country.

6:54 i thought he was bout to say "wow scooby"

This dude is literally shaggy from scooby-do, hilarious hahah

Made my first smashburger tonight. Used the mayo/olive topping. Absolutely delicious!! Thanks for introducing me to this fantastic burger!

As someone from Grand Rapids MI, I was today years old when I learned the olive burger was regional and not something you can get wherever. Of course, I hate them, so when traveling, I never missed that they were not available.

We love you George ❤️

I love his absolute elation every time he bites a burger😂

The “Olive Burger” was originated in Flint, Michigan. “Kewpee” was an establishment, which later changed its name to what is now known as “Halo Burger.”

_"The Nut Burger" sounds like something else._

Olive Burgers! One of my all time faves and a necessity whenever I’m in the state

Man I'm so happy thw first one was an olive burger im from Central Michigan and first off papa motz is of course correct and man I feel pretty represented. Good job

I love how you don't cut out the fails. The show seems more genuine that way

Every time I make smashburgers for family the kitchen is a giant mess of splattered grease all over the stove and smoke. I can't imagine what his apartment is like after filming one of these episodes. I've made butter burgers but never thought to put it on a smash burger. I'm going to try this!

This man is a national treasure.

Oh shit he's the guy who made hamburger America! I remember watching it 10 years ago, amazing documentary

I don't know why but the Vegas-y Game Show music sounding theme that plays at the beginnings of these makes me so happy...

Pro Tips for everyone wanting to cook Green Chile Cheeseburgers at home: season your chopped chile with garlic and onion and it’ll taste infinitely better. You don’t have to cook it in water/stock as it’s already cooked when it’s roasted. And make sure to peel the skin off of it! If you don’t it’ll be like you have a bunch of little pieces of bitter paper or plastic mixed in. And only use “New Mexico” green chile - “New Mexico Chile” means the specific type/subspecies of chile that it is, not just where it’s grown - if you use others they won’t taste the same at all, and avoid “Anaheim Chile” because even though it’s technically from the New Mexico Chile cultivar, it tastes very different and nobody uses it here in NM, though it still tastes good and will give you a nice slightly sour taste.

The mad man stole a Tumbleweed from New Mexico!! He's a national treasure that must be protected at all costs.

I just discovered this series and I'm so stoked. I love george's burger stuff. It's amazing

George is amazing. He ignites a love for burgers deeper than what we realized.

best part of this channel

This guys is fantastic, we need more episodes!

About butter burger: not only on Wisconsin 😁 Back home in Russia our grandmothers made butter sandwiches (sort of) with cheese our sausage. And when we were kids we we're eating them at school, camping etc

Love olive burgers. They were the best thing I could make back when I was a short order cook

And the streak keeps going, still have yet to watch a video with George Motz where I didn't smile :)

"Butter as a condiment. Only in Wisconsin." Jambon beurre: am I a joke to you?

I would watch hours and hours and hours of this guy. More please.

Easily one of the best personalities on the internet. I freaking love this guy!

On this episode: George burns his mouth, hands and nostrils!

Missing the onion burger...but you have already shown that one love before 😋

Wow thanks for bringing up the olive burger, that's one of my favorites. I haven't had one in years since our local place that served them closed. Glad to know the ingredients are simple.

The olive burger is the special of the month at Hamburger America in May this month! It’s awesome, thanks George! So much hamburger history and knowledge, who knew!!!🎉🎉🎉

He's right. I did keep chuckling when he said "nut sauce"
