I love how much effort and precision you put into these recipes looks great, and great video.

Holy cow Greg. You definitely did some serious research on this one! Killer video! Very complex and informative. Everything you did was outstanding. Right down to the bun. This rocks brother!

You never fail to amaze me with your creative up scale cooking of international recipes. Thank you!

I love the details and hard work you have put into this! Great job!

Excellent all these new ways are giving me something to copy and use. I also came up with the melted cheese flat independent of this. Great work again Greg thanks and keep them coming!

I have never seen any of your videos before and this was great! Looks soooo good. I'm going to have to try this one!

Greg, thanks for putting this together. I live in Washington but travel to California for business all the time. My number one stop for lunch and/or dinner is Umami. I'm obsessed. Like you, I did my homework and tried to duplicate or come close at home. Since I like the truffle burger, it was fun to actually put it together and have the taste nearly exact. The truffle doesn't use the tomato though, so I could skip that step. The buns are great there and are more of a Portuguese style or Brioche bun if I'm not mistaken. I love Brioche and that's what I used. Very light, good absorption rate and easy to work with. To me, the Umami burger exemplifies what a good burger should be. I have no interest in the piled-high, kitchen sink, food coma burgers that I see so many places serving. Thanks again!

@Geraldo Sousa I usually mold my burgers by hand, but on this burger, I used a biscuit ring mold which are available at stores such as William Sonoma. There are molds made specifically for burgers online. You need to change your settings so people can actually respond to your comments brother!

Greg, once again...knocked it out of the ballpark! Best burger recipe videos on YT hands down! It shows how much research/prep you did for this...great job brother and looks amazing!

Yesterday I made your burger and today I went to the umami and tried theirs, in all sincerity , yours were so much better and I wanted to thank you. Great job. Best wishes

Awesome video! This is burger perfection! Well done, Greg!

You have a nice channel, and I am very glad I subscribed! This burger looks great, thank you for the recipe!

You really are the Burger King!! I appreciate the time and effort you put into making burgers like this.

So much attention to detail, bravo.

thanks for these videos marathoning them right now.

Greg, you have serious chops. The work that goes into the recreations of these burgers (I am bingeing on this genre right now) is amazingly impressive. I think most people do not appreciate how much time, effort, and money goes into research, let alone the equipment. So here is a challenge. The best, cheapest burger you can make. Where is the trade-off on making a good burger to making a great burger as cheaply as possible? For instance, is mayo necessary, and if so, does homemade trump store bought? Does the addition of garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper (or any other ingredients) introduced into the mix before patty formation affect the flavor and texture? Does refrigeration or freezing (especially for very thin patties) contribute to better Maillard reaction? What role does juice retention play in overall satisfaction (not including outside condiments). Where does the essential beef essence reside? Is it grass fed or feedlot finished? It may take a number of episodes to explore some of these data points.

You're burgervideos are amazing! thank you for sharing this great content

greg. you are rad. love your interest and passion for your projects

zacktley what Iv been looking for, thankyou so much for the love n effort you put into this

Wow you put a lot of work into this! Great job, looks amazing

Went there today sooooo dood. I live on the east coast can’t wait to try this.

Absolute perfection Greg! Everything about that burger was over the top goodness. Thanks for showing how it's done!

Thanks for the background on umami I had no idea it was derived from Seaweed. That beef grind sounds SOOOOOO good! You get my stamp of approval oh wait you already have one - AWESOME JOB Greg!

Just found this channel. It's great. Thank you.

Greg you are an inspiration bro! Great job. Love all the videos.

I've never heard of this burger but it has some interesting elements that I could really enjoy. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful!! thanks, Greg

Where do you go from here. I think you just made the Holy Grail of burgers!

particularly the feature you did on the umia dry age bags (pardon the spelling) highly rate the task your accomplished re creating all these classics! you have definitely helped me out a few times...

Wow I'm blown away by this burger. That looks phenomenal Greg. Lot of thought and effort went into that, it almost looks too perfect lol. Good job

Wow this looks amazing. I appreciate all of the effort you put into making your videos.

Great video. We can see the effort. People do burguer copycat recipes without even taste the original. Keep the good job. My favorite cooking channel.

My mouth is hanging open.A+ for research,execution,and just having the gumption to do this! (for gumption read ''balls").I hope this goes viral, it's your best cook! Rock On Greg!

It's nice to have the tools of the trade! thanks for the upload greg.

Never even heard of Umami Burger, but this video has made me drool. Might have to try myself!

The stamp on the bun is a great whimsical touch, and I agree, yours turned out even better than the original.

Great job as usual Greg

Nice work Greg!!!

Parabéns!Seus sanduiches são BELÍSSIMOS, diferentes e fáceis.

We had a lively discussion about taste in my anatomy class the other day. My instructor was tickled that I knew what umami was. He was even more amused when i told him I learned it from this video lol

cant wait to try and make this thanks i really wanna try out that umami ketchup with some fries not a huge fan of ketchup but it looks delicious also that sauce for the burgers does too

Very impressive cook!!! Looks like you certainly did you homework on this one!

Great Burger Greg, and excellent ingredients. I like those Potato Buns and the Logo was cool.

beautiful, you should be considered an artist, everything you cook looks amazing

Wow! Seriously delicious Greg! Love the stamped buns. You put a lot of work into this my friend, kudos to you!

I know this is rediculously simple man. & u may have already covered it. But a Wendys double stack...its different every time i try it?...yet one time i had it it & it was friggen awesome!....like mustard pickles onions. But then other ti es it was different?. Id like to know the true one. ...other than that. You are hands down Balistically Bad ass bro.. i quite literally gotta pull myself away from bingeing on your material brother..man!...just mandamn!...i learn a bunch & it looks like you got it made there bro.so happy for you.

Going to attempt this very soon!!

Looks really good. I hope to try the umami burger some day

I'm gonna try that !!!

Just completed a marathon viewing of your burgers, Greg and had to stop twice to eat. Definitely some of the best burgers on the internet! Great work, all around. People that don't know what 'build' means, when referring to food, must be those who assemble or create. haha Hey, I didn't see your version of the In N Out burger. Had a few while I was state side and they are right up there with the best and healthiest. Well, you know what I mean -fresh ingredients and no trans fats etc. Would love to see your take on one of them bad boys. Keep on doing what you do!

I am a Burger freak... I enjoy your videos, been watching for about a yr now and I like your ideas, keep up the good work...

Beautiful burger mate ! I going to do here in Brazil for sure !

OMG delicious! Great recipe my friend :)

There needs to be a gallery of fine burgers, because this is ART, Greg! Of course, in a burger gallery, Ballistic BBQ would dominate. Folks would be overheard sayin' "Where are the other burgers?, who knows, who cares?" Headed to the linked video now.

Wow, what an incredible creation Gregg, once again, I am going to attempt this at some point, I will now check the links for the other ingredients. PS I have seen a chef use ground dried shiitake mushrooms in his ground beef mixture, I tried it once too and it definitely adds to The Umami. Cheers mate!!

Great looking burger! I love how you did the cheese. I've never had a Umami burger but I want one now.

Another delicious-looking burger!

Haha I really liked the logo on your bun. The burger looked really good. Keep up the awesome work

Ambitious cook and it turned out great!! I was expecting some fish sauce to join the party. That's one of my favorite umami flavorings. I've taken to salting soups, stews, and chili with a few dashes of fish sauce before I add more salt. Definitely gives an umami kick.

keep up the good work you do really good

Now I have to go there, I have never been... Only a few miles up the freeway from me. Looked great man! Killer Burger!

This guy just NAILED it again! lol

You are awesome Greg!

Great video! I have considered getting that griddle for my Primo. Love your burger series.
