Making Five Guys Cheeseburger At Home | But Better

look I'll be honest I like the Five Guys they seem nice name one time that's ever stopped us [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey that looks nice doesn't it someone's coming soon something you've asked for for pretty much a year this is more than what you might be imagining this is just the beginning and if you want to stay up to date the link is in the description okay so today we are making the Five Guys it is called Five Guys Burger and Fries all right the fries we can do another time all right I'm saving that for some special I think the main question you can ask is at this point is there really a difference between every burger at every place if you think the answer is that there's no difference you're out of your mind they want their own sort of like Flavor branding you take a bite you know it's a McDonald's burger you take a bite and you know it's a Five Guys burger but is one better than the other and that's the magical argument the element about Five Guys is that everything 's cooked relatively fresh I think that presents a little bit more of a challenge but this is but better so we'll make it better and with all that being said let's make this shall we yes there are a lot of people here I hate these kinds of strip malls I avoid them at all costs I really do I'll be back uh we got the bag honestly I'm having a great day I hope you guys are too okay three-point test I love the interior honestly so we're just gonna judge the interior because they're always in strip malls I'm gonna give it eight out of ten very nice service since we're back in the car service is 10 out of 10 that were very nice and quick nothing negative to say about that menu eight out of 10 for being classic all good ratings now let's begin we got the bag I like this design this is good or bad that's all it needs to be for two burgers and no fries no drink I don't know if everyone was like let me show me I get it I spend a lot of money on food but that's a lot I will say that this burger weighs 400 grams that's a big burger look at that I'm excited about this one Bacon's good toppings are there what I don't like they put the Mayo on the top and then on the bottom they put the other stuff like why not put them both even and out Mayo ketchup mustard boom Mayo ketchup mustard boom you want it in every bite I don't get it still big fans so far cross section very nice I only have good things to say about this place the buns are way too soft though they kind of like just fall apart and when they soak with liquid they're just smells nice God damn it you're so close fatal error is that none of this is seasoned there is no salt in this no matter how fresh all this stuff is there's almost no flavor in this burger whatsoever and I'm so disappointed because I actually like Five Guys this isn't a full demarking but this ain't gonna help you in the end a burger isn't just meat buns Patty there's more to it than that that's why each burger from every joint is different first off these buns are sweeter and eggier than most eggy not a good word but descriptive now here we're working off my cookbook all-purpose bundo with some minor changes Link in the description for that by the way that's a plug so start with three quarters of a cup or 185 grams of whole milk at 90 degrees Fahrenheit whisk in two and a half teaspoons or 10 grams of instant knees till dissolved separately in the bowl of a stand mixer add three cups plus two tablespoons or 469 nice grams of all-purpose flour three and a half tablespoons or 50 grams of granulated sugar and one and a half teaspoons or five grams of fine sea salt mix the dry ingredients to combine then to your milk add one egg yolk and two whole eggs whisk together till homogeneous then pop on a dough hook or spiral attachment begin mixing on medium low and add your liquid let that mix and need for two to three minutes or until you start to get a rough dough then add in three tablespoons or 42 grams of unsalted softened butter mix another two to three minutes or until you get a smooth and extensible dough roll that bad boy into a rough ball pop into a grease Bowl cover with plastic wrap and rise for one and a half hours at room temperature or until doubled look at the little punch it down divided into ton even pieces weighing 80 to 90 grams each roll each of those into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment you're likely gonna need two baking sheets once you have all your balls lightly tent with grease plastic wrap and let that proof at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes or until your balls nearly double now you've all seen this before brush your buns with egg wash consisting of one egg whisk together with a splash of water until smooth hit it with some raw untosted sesame seeds and pop in a 375 degree oven for 15 to 17 minutes until you get beautifully Road tunned glistening Golden Globes practically floating out of the oven they're so light now optionally good brush them with a little melted butter immediately upon removing from the oven and then just let this cool to room temp on a wire rack now this burger has a lot of cook toppings so let's begin with our own get yourself one white onion diced heat a large pan over medium high if that was just enough vegetable oil to cook the bottom of the pan and once that's hot enough to slap your got dang knee I don't know when you'll toss the coat with the oil season it taste with salt and cook tossing occasionally for four to five minutes or until your onions are softened and have developed a nice lightly browned color boom essentially griddled onion popped it to the side clean out the pan and then in that same pan addition of vegetable oil to coat the bottom yet again heat it over medium high and once it is yet again hot enough to sear just about any goddamn thing add in half a pound or 227 grams of fresh shiitake mushrooms that have been stemmed and sliced half an inch thick let those cook and sear against the pan and do not stir or season them yet otherwise they're going to release too much water and they'll go limp I would say most scenarios when things go limp not a good thing right now you really want to treat these a bit like a steak right that's the key to having mushrooms that are so good your friends and family will bow before your mushroom cooking might now once those have a nice golden brown crust you can then season them with salt give them a nice toss and let them continue to sear stirring occasionally until cooked to your liking now you'll notice I only hard seared one side and the reason is we want that nice my yard like flavor but without drying them out if you wanted them seared on both sides you need to slice them thicker which is not ideal for a sandwich anyway those are your mushrooms place in a bowl set to the side and the bacon is pretty straightforward you don't need me to explain that right Choose Your Own Adventure here you're making a lot of bacon put it in the oven if not then you can slap them in a pan and cook them old school style you know flip them over and over until they're done drain on a paper towel see now we need to talk about our pop guys Prides itself on the freshness of its ingredients so although we need two pounds of 900 grams of ground beef obviously I would recommend grinding it yourself do you have to of course not but if you choose to do so I recommend a really nicely marbled boneless chuck roast cut into long strips and fed through a meat grinder and don't ground pretty straightforward now that we have our buff we can cook and assemble Buns of course should be sliced and toasted if you want to have that proper Burger experience come on now it's like a universal rule I don't ever want to see an untosted bun again Papa love you now get yourself roughly a four to five ounce ball of ground beef get a medium-sized Skillet over medium high cut the bottom with just barely enough oil to create a nice slick once the pan begins to smoke add in that one ball of birth grease a large spatula or a press and you get test it press your beef down until it's about one inch wider than your buns and around a half inch thick season that Patty to taste generously with salt and pepper let that syrup hard for one to two minutes get your spatula under the flip and season the other side with salt and pepper again and of course the quintessential slice of American cheese I know blasphemy let it sear for another minute then take it immediately off the pan add your second Patty boom same thing press it down season taste with salt and pep sear clip again salt pep another slice of cheese which you can totally switch up here right you can do American cheese again or you could go cheddar monster I like to mix it up it's kind of boring if you don't right now pick up your older Paddock you made from earlier place the newest one on top of that doing this is gonna help melt that cheese if I step back in the pan reduce the heat to medium and let it sit until both cheeses are melted and now for the Moment of Truth Listen we're making this burger in a way that is called all the way if you don't like your burger all the way get the out of here kidding just you know don't add something you don't like to the Burger there you go right anyway bottom and top bun add a nice generous smear of mayo follow that with a drizzle of yellow mustard both buns and a drizzle of ketchup both buns yet again now begin your style stacking on the bottom bun first a nice shingling of dill pickles that have been sliced lengthwise for maximum sandwich surface area coverage two to three slices of cooked bacon your double Patty oh boy this is looking a bit larger than anticipated one beefy slice of ideally heirloom tomato which yes has been salted some of your seared mushrooms your griddled onion rough chopped iceberg lettuce which honestly doesn't need to be on this burger it does nothing we're doing it for posterity and finally grab your top bun and you better bet your ass it's a royal moment because we're gonna Crown our King for what looks to be a touch larger of a burger than necessary but let's hope its flavor can match its size so that we can find our winner Burger Time Burger Time theirs was a little squished I'll give them that so I'm not going to mark them off points for being ugly but I squeeze this together so it might be a little bit ugly now too but I had to conform it somehow right now that this is one unit an absolute one at that Jesus look at that the verdict is in I'm a big fan of the flat top but if you don't get a good sear these patties have no color at all the crispness of the meat it's seasoned perfectly nice and fatty not too dry they're Meats drier than it usually is and we ground this fresh you can taste the Applewood smoked bacon everything is coming through but more importantly because I salted the goddamn tomato guess what this is balanced bun wise I think this matches up nicely because I remember reading oh this has a little more egg and a little bit more of the sugar and this and that I tried to make a little bit more of a gooey bun and we I think we achieved that so there's some similarities but the freshness of this still shines through season perfectly cooked perfectly I mean this is an easy dub honestly and I didn't think it was going to but we need a taste tester to finalize are you a Five Guys guy I love Five Guys actually used to get it a lot more get these Five Guys in Kendrick's mouth so this is the flat end here I can't see what you're pointing at wow that was number one number Deuce nice first one was better personally and it comes down to flavor there's so much in here there are a lot of really good textures it's so flavorless though there's not an ounce of any kind of seasoning to be found in this Five Guys burger you're a burger a lot of similar textures but I agree your meat is a lot more crisp I got a good sear on it I'll encapsulate this all thank you Kendra I'm gone I'm not here wow what it comes down to Five Guys I'm actually still a big fan today not their best day I'll give them that all they had to do was season it properly and also their meat was low-key kind of dry it had no color on it but that's the difference between something good and bad is technique and you don't have to make your own buns and still make a Better Burger in like what like 15 minutes if you're not making the buns and all the other bowls but you want to know what else doesn't have to make its own buns b-roll [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music]
