My brother in burgers unless you are getting your brioche from a real artisan French bakery or have gotten it at one IN France you've more than likely never had a real brioche bun.
That shit they're selling in the grocery stores or serving in a restaurant is DEFINITELY NOT brioche.
One way to tell is the bread itself is very buttery.
As in you can actually TASTE butter.
The shit we're eating here bought in American stores and served in restaurant's is more chemicals and food coloring than eggs and butter.
It's low on butter and eggs and high on chemicals.
Breads like Sarah Lee use chemicals instead of getting the texture from eggs and butter just like ALL of them bought in the store.
Also the %s of butter eggs and sugar are way off in the shit we call brioche in America.
Used to work at a French Restaurant where the pastry chef made fresh brioche.
It's a very pretty and tasty bread dense and fluffy at the same time with a dark flakey crust.
I got all excited when I started seeing it in grocery stores but just like everything else in this country it's a massed produced bastardized highly inferior fake product.
Nothing more than a massed produced gimmick.
I know Italians use it for Gelato sandwiches and it's the dough used in Kings Cake.
I've personally only seen it used in sweet dishes as our pastry chef used it so....
30+ yrs ago putside of New Orleans you very rarely if ever would encounter brioche unless you worked at a very upscale restaurant/hotel employing pastry chefs.
Other than taste and texture ?
COST for one, shipping, Euro being worth more and what not.
The fact it's being sold in a grocery store meant to be shelf stable.
Also you must have never had real bread.
If you have you would know that fresh bread made with quality ingredients, as in lack of chemicals to keep it fresh longer, doesn't have near the shelf life of the bread we buy in grocery stores.
If you ever have a chance to get to a real baker making bread from scratch (as in not a bagged pre made mix) it really is a different product.
Using live yeast, cultures and fresh ground grains.
I've eaten bread made from Wine must, leftover grains from beer making, real whole grain breads made from ground grains, real potatoe bread.
All kinds a fucking crazy breads.
Flour made from quality grains and the correct process is something completely different.
Good bread really is an enjoyable product and nothing like the sweet fucked up foamy bullshit we buy in grocery stores.
I would bet that what we sell as bread here in America wouldn't even be legally allowed to be called bread over in half of Europe because of all the Chemicals fillers and sugar in it.
Europe, you know that place that's been making bread thousands of years before America existed.
I'm sure up until the industrial revolution and major corporations real bread was common in the US.
But you'll only find it in a artisanal bakery here now.
Not in a grocery store !!
Maybe a restaurant here and there.
I know of a hole in the wall mom and pop breakfast type food place that makes their own Bread and rolls.
Their fucking burger buns along with all the fesh bread he bakes are really good.
Every once in a blue moon when I have a little money I can stand to spend and I want to make a really good burger I'll go pay him to make me a couple of big burger buns.
It's not artisinal bread but it's a 1,000 times better than anything I can find in a store.
You're in the wrong sub to be saying that. Anyone who knows what a smash burger actually is, knows that is NOT a smash burger. It's a good-looking burger never-the-less, but it's not even close to a smash.
Looks great
Nice simple burger
Too humble to knock it down, but also, I have nothing to say about this burger.
A basic well prepared burger. Nothing wrong with this one at all.
This burger looks good
Now that's a nice juicy looking burger I would eat. Nothing like that ultra thin as bologna crap some post calling it a "smash burger"
Not a huge fan of seed buns. I’d choose brioche over that.

How do you know they're in the US? They might be French for all we know.
I am an American. But, I did work in a French restaurant where they baked brioche in-house.

That's a good looking smash burger
That ain’t no smash burger!
I really think people don't understand what a smash burger is.
I really think you guys got meta wooshed.
We got bamboozled??
Hornswoggled I tell ya!
Lol
woooosh^2
What?
I REALLY THINK YOU GUYS GOT META WOOSHED.
Huh?
Louder for the kids in the back now # I really think...
You're in the wrong sub to be saying that. Anyone who knows what a smash burger actually is, knows that is NOT a smash burger. It's a good-looking burger never-the-less, but it's not even close to a smash.
I see no indicators of it being pressed or the burger having a nice crust. Both are required for a true smash burger
Agreed. There is no smash in that burger at all.
Was this meant for me or Kratomas?
I think a smashie has onions included in the smash? But this is a great burger either way.
Nah, smash is just smashing the patties. The onion is Oklahoma style smash
Good to know thank you! My dad was in the Army at Fort Sill, but I’ve never been.
