American Food - The BEST SMASH BURGERS in Chicago! Redhot Ranch

I love how there's no music, no narration. Just the sounds of the kitchen.

This is the Chicago food experience. You can’t duplicate the El, the yellow sign, the wax paper the hot dog without ketchup, and the greasy bag. This brings back memories.

No tomato, no celery salt, no pickle. No dog. Fuck outta here. And get those fucking fries out of my dog and serve them on the side like a human being. Shameful stuff. Lots of “iconic” places in Chicago do this too. Should be illegal.

[@landongeorge5257]

I used to live in southern Wisconsin and work on a farm. On Friday night I would drive to Chicago to sell at the Wicker Park farmer's market the following morning, and every Friday night, I would come to Red Hot Ranch for 2 Chicago dogs and some cheese fries. It was a tradition, ritual really.

[@bobbyt7448]

Now that's a classic Chicago story. This place is primarily known for their chicago style hotdogs 🌭

[@chucklos391]

Awesome dude!

[@Classicrocker6119]

I watched the whole video at just over 21 minutes…and it was totally worth it! The dogs and burgers are great! I loved the quick hands involved during the preparation of the shrimp.

The close up shot of the food is the money shot. When the food is filmed that close, thats when I feel like I am the one whos eating the food. Just makes me so hungry I can eat 5 of those smashed burgers right now.

Smash burgers were the original way that hamburgers were made prior to all the fast food stuff and frozen patties etc. I grew up in the 50's and there was no fast foods that I remember?? BTW, large all the way burgers were 6 for a dollar $1.00. Large watermelons were also 6 for a dollar and gasoline was, on the average about .18 cents per gallon.

Same way from mid 70's- early 2000's, this is Chicago Diner Style. Yuppies and health nuts in late 90's and up drove out so many of these restaurants/ diners / hotdogs stands. Born & raised in Chicago and from mid 70's. So many spots did this style of cheeseburgers. Sky high rent, gentrification just drove out these small spots.

when ground meat is packaged, the meat on the outside is exposed to more oxygen. That's why meat turns a bright red color on the outside while the inside remains brown. When myoglobin is mixed with oxygen it becomes oxymyoghobin, or more commonly knon as "blooming". If the meat on the outside looks brown or grayish brown it is starting to spoil.

[@knessing7681]

the fries are that colour in the end is because they didn't rinse out the starch under running cold water after chipping the potatoe, thus also dirtying the fryer oil when you don't rinse out the starch, and thus having to garbage the oil faster and raising food cost.

[@M3GAprincess]

Trust me, they never change the oil. They filter it, and add more oil.

What makes you destroy the juicy burger by smashing the meat? Do your kids walk away if you're not finished in 2 minutes?
