I love how 90% of the people who watch chef john's videos can't cook for shit or don't have the ingredients to cook at the time but still can't stop watching...me included.
ummm i think the Moussaka is pretty identical to the mousaqa'a whick my mom makes......it's a Greek-Egyptian cassarole.....yeah,it's pretty awesome ....:)
@bumthology I think it kinda defeats the purpose of this recipe to use beef. If you don't like lamb, try veal then. But, it's your taste buds afterall, isn't it? LOL
i hear that its food porn in almost every video but yes my boy its porn but its verry good porn oh and one thing are u eating this burger and if u do how can you speak and eat jesus and yes im right then your real jesus
Seriously! This made my mouth water. I love how easy it is. I will definitely try it. I wish you had the ingredients and directions listed here though.
Hi Chef, moussaka is actually a technique to combine eggplant/potato/squash/cabbage and ground meat to make a dish. Actually there are some discussions between us (Turks) and Greek that is claiming that moussaka is Turkish/Greek but actually the root of this word is coming from the Arabian peninsula, so probably we stole from them and Greek did the same to us..
Greetings from Greece! Yes, you're doing correct American pronounciation of moussaka (in Greek it's moussaKA, but when speaking English even I usually say mouSSAka)
This looks great... a nice update on a classic and delicious dish! You get the Greek stamp of approval (from me, anyway).
Chef John, I reeeeealllly do hope you get a chance to get on the next food network star. We need more real chefs on TV & you my friend are the perfect man for job! Good Luck! Yours truly, The Culinary Mercenary
I'd like to give those a try. Never tried Moussaka before, and only ever had lamb twice that I can remember (I liked it though). The tomato/mint combination sounds really interesting.
Thank you for making cooking awesome, sarcastic, and witty. Thanks for not being Betty Crocker, thanks for not holding my hand, thanks for knowing what the hell you're talking about and being right about everything in this video.
I have tried this but it didn't work for me I don't why!! When I put the grounded beef on the pan it separates apart (the beef didn’t stay together) may be because I washed the grounded beef and there is still some water on it!
okay chief jon, it's the summer and now that school is over, im going to do this and the chicken you did last. i havent done anything since hte pork belly from way back and that was just great!
@SuckMyFist always so sad, so long as you don't head over to the nearest fast food place afterward when you can't take it any more. Crappy fried food is no match for Moussaka burger.
Looks great!! I love lamb!! Kinda seems like a lot of work for a burger, but it gives me something to do with the eggplant that I'm growing out in the garden.
Dude, lamb costs more than steak in these here parts. Most supermarkets have a very sparse selection at super-inflated prices. Neck pieces for $5/lb!! Will try recipe when prices come down.
CHEF JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!! what did you doo!!!!! you raped those burgers with your pan there inosence is forever taken and they will have nightmares in your stomach until you take a dump!!!!!!!!! you could have solved all of this if you used a normal grill!!!!!!!
@deadman903 The reason for his choise is quite simple; the result of pan frying the meat contra grilling the meat is huge, the meat is twice as juicy when panfried, it is correct he could make the burger even better by blitzing it on the grill so it gets a mildly smoky flavour.. however, only grilling the meat results in a drier burger.
@WoodyMathias what are you talking about? i have burgers like 3 nights a week on a grill in like every season but winter and when you grill it you just wait so all of the juice is on top filp it with 2 minutes put cheese on wait 30 seconds and your done a perfectly juicy medium rare burgers and if you dont feel like making them then buy bubba burgers
@deadman903 Dude it's science. On a flat top the paddy cooks on in it's own fats which prevents the moisture from leaving the paddy.
When I was younger, I used to grill everything much like you're suggesting. But with age, my tastes have refined and I find that I'm grilling less and less and using the stove top and oven much more often for better temp control.
They're right. A flat top cooked paddy tastes better.
Though I really don't care, i can't help myself. I think you both have made some wonderful points, and you're both probably right in your own way. just google "origens of moussaka", read the first link and be done with it. Oh and remember, my uncle invented the pizza. so.. ya know.. you're welcome.

I understand the people that criticize his method of moussaka because yes it is important to maintain traditional dishes, but realize that part of being a chef is having the innovation to remake traditional dishes, too.
moussaka burger? you Americans have no shame...Great that you thought of it and that you give people an easy, but very original recipe, but not everything needs to be a burger.
