The MacMaster is in New York City at Hamburger America which has gone viral online, it’s an internet Sensation, Hamburger America has ben set up by George Motz. Motz has appeared on TV shows, taught university classes, written books, and even made a film about hamburgers. Now, he’s brought his wealth of knowledge to New York City by founding a new restaurant in Soho of all places with the same name as his 2004 film, Hamburger America.
On the day of filming George Motz himself was there cooking up his speciality burgers and The MacMaster even got to speak to George himself and ask about future plans for Hamburger America.
The BIG question is do the burgers at Hamburger America live up to all the hype?

Now then my friends I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited to do a food review as I am today because I’m in Manhattan in New York City and I’m here to review a burger by George Moes at hamburger America that’s right it’s right behind
Me here now for those of you who don’t know who George Moes is he is the Godfather the hamburger Fardo of hamburgers there is nobody else on the planet who knows more about hamburgers than George Moes I believe he’s actually in there cooking them himself as well to
Catch a glimpse I can’t be certain but we’ll find out when we actually get in there he knows everything about hamburgers there is nobody else that knows any more about hamburgers than him he is basically number one after that you’ve got Ronald McDonald and then you’ve got basically Danny mayor who
Actually opened up uh Shake Shack we’re going to head on in there we’re going to find out because this has been a viral sensation on Tik Tok and Instagram if you go on Tik Tok and Instagram or YouTube you will have heard of George MO
What is it all about though is it all hype well we’re going to go and find out there’s news stories about him he’s in the Press he’s on TV it’s been a mega mega sensation are his hamburgers as good as everyone is making out well
We’re going to find out if you are new to the channel by the way do hit the Subscribe button click the little bell for notifications when I upload new videos now without further Ado my friends let’s Go Right so the kind of style of burgers that are in there is pretty much like white Mana that I did a review on earlier on a few months ago on this channel with Big Dave over in New Jersey a classic kind of Smash Burger he’s also
Red for his fried onion burger as well so we’re going to try that and also the fries and maybe a little Shake as well it follows the style of Shake Shack as well now I love a Shake Shack burger and white Mana over in New Jersey was definitely my favorite but these are
Supposed to be better but do I believe it because it’s a viral sensation is it all hyp everything that’s on Tik Tok and on Instagram it’s all built up isn’t just for clicks and just for views well today we’re going to get an honest review so if you are new to the channel

Footfall for him the big question is though is it all hype that’s what it’s all about can you actually believe these Tik Tok videos and and also these Instagram videos I don’t know I’m going to be deadly honest and you know I am so
Uh but I am looking forward to it I hope it’s good because I’ve seen him on TV I’ve seen his YouTube channel and uh he’s he he does know his stuff about hamburgers let’s find out getting really hungry though 20 minute W right so we’ve got about 20 minute

Smash look at that okay wow look at that what what’s your first uh Impressions on that the the meat to bun ratio is really good so yeah the meat should be larger than the bun the meat should be larger than the bun and it is let’s let’s go in
For this and find out we’ got nice soft bun on there slightly toasted we’ve got underneath the uh the pickles and the onions are on the bottom rather than on the top is that normal bottom normal bottom normal yeah okay we got the cheese on the top there and we’ve also
Got the double patting on there as well let’s go for this wow the new two naap two naap invite there that wow that is really good the meat is excellent you got the onions there as well and that cheese the melted cheese on top there look at
That wow got to save room for the uh fried onion burger so far living up to the hype but we’ll Reserve judgment until we get the next Burger right so we’ve got the uh double fried onion burger here with the pickles on the side there um this looks great really really really good again two Meats on there two Patties on there got the cheese on the top just look at that look at them
Onions look at that amazing The Toasted Bun let’s H take a bite of this okay George has got my attention now this is wow this is it this is where it is at absolutely fantastic that cheese the onions coming through smashed into it just make it for me that is
Absolutely gorgeous it does live up to the hype I’m going to take another bite oh wow the burger is amazing I think one of the uh secrets to their step is when they steam the bun and put the bun on top of the burger with the
Onions and all that uh onion flavor is is U makes the burgers the bun soft and then gets into the bun it’s awesome yeah just uh the whole thing Blends together so well from what Kirk said uh just a nice soft beautiful texture and then taste as you bite into it a wonderful
Burger living up to the he so far yeah if you’re ever in Houston come to craft Grill we got two restaurants here craft Grill and then craft Grill Breakfast Club up in there in Tom Ball Texas then you can try any of the AER concept restaurants Lo Ste Eloise Nichols skers

Sure that we have this one good once it’s good then we’ll start the conversation about the next one we get we get uh you know calls for you know expansion like four or five times a day and I’m proud of that but at the same

With George being there himself didn’t absolutely I for me it definitely made the hype and uh I just um I I having doing those Burgers myself uh I kind of know what they they taste like um and this one exceeded what I’ve done done
For sure box out of 10 um I give it a strong nine wow that’s good that’s good strong nine yeah you lik the fried onion burger that was good wasn’t it yeah and again the way they did the bun and just the the meat to to bun ratio uh the meat
Was seasoned perfectly the french fries were really good uh it was hard hard for me to find anything that I I didn’t like in there it was really good and your restaurants in Houston is eight air concept so Lo teals El Eloise skers uh Babas e away we have 16 restaurants nine
Different concepts wow I need to come along and try your Smash Burger for myself I think well you need to come to my house and I’ll and I’ll make you one at home oh wow that’s even better come out to the woodlands and I’ll I’ll make
You one uh in our outdoor grill I tell you what it’s made it meeting these two guys today it really has we got people actually who can who know about food I kind of review burgers and fish and chips and stuff but you guys about food that’s great that’s a solid nine okay
What did you think I I would absolutely the experience was a 10 because just the energy and the the vibe and George being here and talking to interacting with everybody he was a great guy the burger I I give it 8 N I got the the uh the the
Smash Burger with the onions and it was delicious the way they shaved those onions so thin to make them cook just in the amount of time they’re cooking that small Burger is fantastic um add a little bit more condiment kind of things in there because they come plain and I I
Would have liked to seen a little bit more on that would be the only thing I would do next time but a delicious burger and a great experience fantastic highly recommend I loved it I thought the Smash Burger was great um I’ve been to White Manor as well uh you’ve been to
White Manor as well Jersey both we went there on a food tour a couple years ago what did you think did did it live up to White Manor I think it was better actually better you know they do a slider over there so a little bit different presentation but again they
The way they steam the bun with the onions different bun yeah and a different bun but um I I would probably pick this one over that yeah it was it was fantastic really enjoyed it I’d go for the fried onion burger the only thing the fries were great you like the
Fries as well the fries were good the shoest sing french fries are great yeah and uh I use the uh the thicker cut french fries at craft GR in Tom Ball Texas and and the craft Grill Breakfast Club hash browns there have you got two have you two restaurants side by side in

So you give an 8.9 I do okay I’m going to go for do you know what I’m going to go for I’m going to go as some as you nine I’m going to go for a nine what I wouldn’t have is I wouldn’t go for the milk again the chocolate milk yeah with
Selser in it it was there was like a is that was what was in it it was selser it’s got like a descri spicy taste to it as well I don’t know I wouldn’t go for that but the burger itself yeah fantastic really really does live up to

Another great video. I would defiantly got for the fried onion burger. Looks superb!
Owner mucking in with his staff cooking food 👌 looked great 👍
A burger is a burger to me but these looked Great as they would fit in my gob lol. So many reviews today feature a burger that wont fit in people mouths, what are these places trying to prove, and what a mess, I love a basic plane Cheeseburger with Onions, its always good. I've got to say it was a pleasure to see the two American guys from Texas, I could tell these guys where the real deal and truly decent folks, I'm in Oregon but if I was in Texas Id certainly give them a try, both sounded right on the Money.
Looks like a smashing place, with a smashing burger. Couple of smashing lads to go with it, what's not to like.
What is the cost of the food there?
It's not a milkshake it's just chocolate milk?? 😂😂
Does lee have a lisp
Mac stick ta food ,leckie cars different channel also no need for click bit stuff ,we love ya and watch anyway.🙂

Youtube worlds collide MacMaster and George Motz in one video!
If you haven't seen Georges vids on FirstweFeast then you should
Fabulous video, and your two guests, made it more interesting, with a professional opinion as restauranter, loved it 😊
He looks a bit like Tim Martin the owner of Wetherspoons. Burgers looked great though.
A great review Mac, I liked the music whilst you waited to get in there I'm hoping to try that place in November if all goes to plan….
Hi Lee great video,music really good know a place must be good for food if people queuing up outside.
I agree milk shake bit odd but burgers looked cooked to perfection like you given it 9 out of 10 look forward more great videos👍
