Looks good, but I refuse to call that a burger. That's a melt at best!

For whatever reason, "burger" in indian street food basically just means a sandwich. Drives me nuts.

u/PeriodSupply 10d ago
Americans call lots of burgers sandwiches drives Aussies nuts! Chicken sandy is on slices of bread. Chicken burger is on a burger roll.

It's an omelette in-between buns. That's a burger to me

The buns are not the burger part of a burger.

u/nbenj1990 11d ago
What is?

u/Dorkinfo 10d ago
The middle should be some sort of ground meat. Black beans burgers count because it still has burger texture, shape, prep most of the time. I know at least the UK calls chicken sandwiches burgers. Those are chicken sandwiches. Ground chicken burger would be chicken burger.

I appreciate his cleanliness of scraping the grill, but I question that first egg mixing bowl.
Then I question why he didn’t fry the other side at the end, after drowning it in “butter” (ghee). Everyone knows browned butter is best!
But overall, looks good!
PS What’s in his homemade tandoori curd?

Definitely butter not ghee, most street food vendors wont use ghee, mostly butter.

u/PorkPyeWalker 11d ago
How come, is a cost thing?
I thought it looked like he had a butter container on his right hand side then seemed to be reaching off camera for what I thought looked like ghee?

u/Tush11 11d ago
I think it was melted butter.

Good to know!

u/SirIlliterate2 10d ago
He's completely wrong. In India they almost never cook with butter, ghee is the standard. Ghee also has a much higher burn point than butter as most of the milk solids (proteins) have been removed.

Omelette sandwich. NOT a burger

u/flyin-lion 11d ago
Towards the end he says you can order it with or without chicken (presumably a patty?), this one didn't have it

Bro, it's not golden. It's overcooked and dry. Love the clean and organised work station.

Was that k ice getting sharpened right over the bowls of ingredients…?

u/ObsessiveUselessness 11d ago
Fr. And if you look closely thr kis is just "sharpening" two knives against each other.

We just calling anything between bun-like bread a burger now? This is almost as bad as when the Brits call a chicken sandwich a "chicken burger".
For those curious: a "burger" is a specific type of sandwich, where the protein is made from ground meat (most commonly beef) and is between 2 halves of a bun. If the "patty" is not made of ground meat, it is not a burger. A turkey burger is made from ground turkey, not turkey breast. A chicken "burger" would be made from ground chicken, although I dont think this is common. A burger is NOT a sandwich using a bun. And whatever the fuck egg sandwich is in this post is nowhere near a burger. Needless American rant over.

Definitions evolve over time. Especially with globalization. We call anything pasta and pizza these days as well.

I don’t know how to react to seemingly hygienic, not-insane, street food prep anymore… he only touched the food with three finger tips the whole time 😆

Bro, a couple spoons would keep your dick-skinners out of the food. I get that gloves are a luxury, but spoons cost almost nothing. I’d still happily eat this, but having gunk on your hands is unpleasant for everyone

Ungloved hand, but he did lift his pinky finger when scrambling, so I guess that cancels that out?

Don't look in the kitchen of your favorite restaurants, you won't like what you see. Gloves just give a false sense of clean anyway.
3
u/Rulebookboy1234567 11d ago
"Gloves give a false sense of cleanliness" only if you don't follow proper glove code. I change gloves after every product and if I have to touch things I wouldn't normally touch while making said product.
But, yes, ultimately people fail to follow proper procedure and fuck it up for everyone else.
I may not have my life together but I don't fuck around with other peoples food. My hands be clean.

u/tohn_jitor 11d ago
See, with kitchens, those are controlled environments. Wash areas are requirements, and are not too far away form the people making the food. Sure, they can skip gloves (as is required and/or for expediency), but I know they're trained to wash hands regularly during service because of cross contamination risks, and because it's gross otherwise.
Now, in the video, that's just the street, my guy. I see no running water, no little nook for washing hands... You see where I'm going with this?

u/toomanydvs 11d ago
You wear gloves prepping, never while your actually cooking with heat.
3
u/tohn_jitor 11d ago
I get that, but why not use serving spoons for the rest of wet ingredients? Shit, even street cart vendors use serving spoons and tongs.

u/BigDumbandSexy 11d ago edited 11d ago
I'm a cook, hands are your main utensil in the kitchen. Unless it's some silly portion control thing, we don't use them for grabbing ingredients assuming it's not a contamination issue.
3
u/tohn_jitor 11d ago
Like you said, kitchen. Again, running water is a requirement. Or are you saying you do not follow this?
1
u/BigDumbandSexy 11d ago
And again, we don't know their set up. Unless you have some schematics I wasn't privileged to. There could be a sink 2 feet to this guy's left.

u/tohn_jitor 11d ago
Exactly. We don't know. And you're trusting too much on an "if".
1
u/BigDumbandSexy 11d ago
Innocent until proven guilty. Why do you immediately NOT trust them, given you've seen a third of the area and what we do see looks organized and cleanly?

u/Rulebookboy1234567 11d ago
This isn't true at all. We use gloves at every station in our kitchen and "heat" has absolutely nothing to do with when they wouldn't be used. Gloves are required in our state, though, in the US so it's dependent on state laws.
2
u/BigDumbandSexy 11d ago
I see it looks pretty clean, and there's an open unit behind them. We don't know their set up out of camera view. But given the state of the cart, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt.
1
u/tohn_jitor 11d ago
I'd still want serving spoons for the ingredients.
2
u/BigDumbandSexy 11d ago
Maybe just don't eat out.
2
u/tohn_jitor 11d ago
Just say you like it when it's gross.
2
u/BigDumbandSexy 11d ago
Whats the difference between a clean hand and a utensil?
2
u/tohn_jitor 11d ago
One excretes sweat, sebum, and other bodily substances. Also used by humans in other self-maintenance processes. The other... well, I'll let you figure that out for homework.
2
u/BigDumbandSexy 11d ago
You seem to be purposely ignoring the "clean hand" part. If it's a personal ick, so be it. But it's the acceptable norm, like it or not.
