Mike Chen Is WRONG About Chinese Burgers
YouTube foodie Mike Chen is just wrong about "Chinese burgers." He knows the real name of that sandwich is "Rou Jia Mo" (肉夹馍 ) but opts for the less precise "Chinese burger." He knows full well that if there is no patty, there is no burger. This is less about what the sandwich is called than it is about the bastardization of language.
Mike Chen is one of my favorite YouTubers. However, I take issue with his misuse of the term "Chinese burger." He should know better. He has presented himself as a burger expert. Other respected foodtubers call him a burger expert. And in fact, I believe his "is" a burger expert, which is what makes his use of the term "Chinese burger" so infuriating.
Although I'm using Mike Chen as an example here, it's not to pick on him. Tens of thousands of others on the internet call them "Chinese burgers" too. If Mike sees this video, I hope he takes it as friendly criticism from a fan.
