In Videos: 12-Year Old's Award-Winning Burger: Au Brie Burger a la Francais

Posted by Emily Koh, June 23, 2008 at 6:15 PM

The Today show featured 12-year old Joey Yarwick and his gourmet burger, the Au Brie Burger a la Francais, which won the grand prize for Red Robin's The Next Gourmet Burger Kids' Recipe Contest. Cubes of Brie are sandwiched between two sirloin patties, then topped with a generous dollop of potatoes au gratin, all on a croissant. As Joey himself says: "It's a burger like no other and each bite is a trip to France." The kid outshines the burger, though: little Joey manages to disarm Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb with his, er, precocious mock-French accent (I'm not sure if "endearing" is quite the right word for it...). Maybe his cheekiness could help him land him a plum cooking reality show gig in the future. Watch the video after the jump.

Good for him. While some would find the "little wonder" annoying, I say...go for it! Add a great culinary education to back up the "simmering" bravado, and you've got a Great 3 Star Michelin Chef.

Congratulations Jr. Chef!

I know this is a little nitpicky, but I shudder at how they all pronounce the name of the burger as "Aw-bree" it's "OH" brie!

Vincci, I lived in France for years and I shuddered at how they pronounced everything...brie, gratin...

And pardon me for wanting to smack the kid. I admire him for loving food and cooking, but I found him annoying. Heh. Kathie Lee was fifty times as annoying, though. I'll save my smacks for her.
