AUSSIE BURGER WITH THE LOT for Australia Day | Weber Q Grill and Griddle

[@ChicagoGriller]

Probably need to run a 10K after eating this lol...

[@lesgillard1508]

yes......

[@Alchemist-sand]

Thanks for the video mate, appreciate the shout out to us Aussies. And yes, this is what we call a ‘works burger’ down under.

[@stephencollis1453]

I fucking love how wholesome this guy is

[@task82]

MAAAAAAAAAATE!! You did a bloody ripper of a job with the Aussie Burger!! Personally, I'd have more mayo and sauce than that, but you nailed the fundamentals!!

[@ChicagoGriller]

Thank you! Yeah seems like I am most of the way there with my Aussie Burger! A few minor tweaks on the sauce or amount of sauce and I think I'll be there!

[@PaddyJoeCooking]

A magnificent Aussie Burger With The Lot Jerry I salute you Sir it looks delicious and simply perfect. There's nothing better than a good old hamburger with the lot...Except for maybe a good old Aussie Steak Sanga (sandwich) of course!!! Awesome cooking I LOVE it!!!

[@ChicagoGriller]

Awesome, thanks for the endorsement. I went to Google "Aussie Steak Sandwich" and your video came up. Looks like I may be drawing inspiration on that one for this year's Aussie Day!

[@Alan.livingston]

I bet that tastes like my childhood. Great work!

[@joeglennon1350]

Super video, as a subscriber from Ireland, I can’t wait to see what you cook to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day 😀

[@ChicagoGriller]

Hey Joe, funny you mention that, I have already been thinking ahead and there are a few candidates :-) Thanks for watching!

[@kindolgentleman3109]

I can’t wait to see what he will cook for St. Patrick’s day as well. My wife is of Irish decent and loves all things ☘️ Irish!

[@thebeardedmother1535]

Great vid and greetings from Oz!! Found your channel whilst waiting in keen anticipating for my Weber Q 3200 (...coming in three weeks to celebrate my 50th!). Pineapple and beetroot would have to be two of the most polarising ingredients on anyone's burger list...for me...beetroot all the way!! Just cuts through the richness of the meat - yum. The pineapple you can leave in the tin (and let's not even start on whether it belongs on pizza...). All the best!

[@ChicagoGriller]

Congrats on the Q3200! To be honest I've been eyeing one myself (I think if I had a Q1200 and a Q3200 that would be the perfect combo). I agree, the beetroot does complement the burger a lot better than I expected. Thanks for commenting and watching! Cheers!

[@TaylorsFSCooking]

I dont care if its Aussie, American, Asian, it looks delicious

[@ChicagoGriller]

TRUTH. I'll call it the awesome burger! Thanks for watching!

[@MrSparky419]

Mate, you did Australia justice! Maybe next time instead of tomato sauce, use BBQ sauce instead (of course that's opinionated) but otherwise I can't fault it! Massive thumbs up and keep up the good work!

[@ChicagoGriller]

Love it! Great to hear a thumbs up from an Aussie. I have gotten a few suggestions to try this again with BBQ sauce. I have nothing against a good BBQ sauce so I'll have to do that next time I decide to whip up one of these monsters!

[@kathrynbonato248]

I live in Australia and love all 3 of my Weber models. Throughly enjoy watching your videos and try all your recipes. In my opinion a burger isn't a burger unless you add beetroot. Yum

[@ChicagoGriller]

Awesome! I always love to hear from my Aussie viewers. Thanks for watching!

[@neg4tivekd_aus]

Great job mate. Nice burger! Cheers from Perth West Oz.

[@ChicagoGriller]

Thanks 👍

[@XmanCo]

Loved the video. Can see that beautiful 4 legged child wants some of the burger. Hopefully she got a piece... sray safe man. 🔥🔥🔥👍

[@ChicagoGriller]

Can't resist that lil' guy so he got a small sample :-)

[@BehindtheGarageBBQ]

Slamming burger Jerry! Pile it up like a tower and dive on in..lol...beet and pineapple 🤔 seen it a few times now...I gotta try this..👍 thanks for sharing brother, have yourself a great one, you all stay safe!👍👊🍻

[@ChicagoGriller]

Much appreciated Craig! Haha yeah any higher I would have had to knife and fork it. Wasn't sure about the beets either, but it did work! Thanks for watching!

[@peterblackmore7560]

Hi from Sydney. I discovered your channel yesterday and watched a few vids. Well done. BTW, the pineapple is usually grilled, and despite the caramelisation, it knocks some of the sweetness down. Beeetroot absolute must. My friend from San Deigo has been to Oz numerous times and loves the burgers here. I'll came back later with some other comments about the Weber Q - I cannot remember my model number. It is the best BBQ that I have owned.

[@ChicagoGriller]

Hi Peter, thanks for watching from Australia! Glad to hear that this one was pretty close to replicating how you folks do it there. I rather enjoyed this burger. I'll try it with grilled pineapple next time!

[@AllanDock]

@@ChicagoGriller Definately grill the pineapple. It brings out the sweetness and will take it to the next level. All the same a great interpretation of our LOT / Works burger.

[@christophers9095]

Awesome work mate!!!

[@ChicagoGriller]

Appreciate that. This burger was a literal mouthful! But freakin' delicious!

[@SirgalDelRchannel]

That burger looks super delicious. That for sure will be gone quickly. Excellent job!. Have a happy, healthy and blessed New Year 👍

[@ChicagoGriller]

For as big as that burger was, it sure did go fast! Thanks for watching!

[@derekfromtauranga6012]

Feed your hungry dog! 🐕 LOL Good job from NZ 🇳🇿

[@HungryManKitchen]

It's really useful to have both the griddle and the grill next to each other! I want the charcoal version of this setup! The burger looks great, that should be my breakfast! I'm totally ok with the beets but no pineapple :)

[@ChicagoGriller]

Lol I knew not everything in this burger would agree with everyone but it all did come together really well. Thanks for watching!

[@ChicagoGriller]

And stay tuned I have a real treat come spring. I did get my hands on a Char Q off of FB Marketplace. But I have to wait til spring to be able to clean it and restore it!

[@sharw5392]

Excellent, you nailed the Aussie Works burger, as we Aussies call it… thanks for sharing how to cook it on the Weber Q, I just bought my Weber Family Q and your tutorial videos and recipes are great, Aussie works burgers are next on my list for my family dinner.

[@ChicagoGriller]

Awesome! Thanks for the Aussie endorsement! I don’t have direct experience with the Family Q but I believe all the times and temps across the entire line of Weber Q is roughly the same. Hope this burger turns out well for you!

[@pineapplesideways3820]

Burger with the lot its called im Australia works burger often misses some goodies

[@pineapplesideways3820]

Fry your pineapple to releasethe sweetness in juices

[@Linesandhookers]

As an Aussie.. This looks very good. Only thing I would change is more mayonnaise and Sauce and swap the ketchup for BBQ sauce.

[@ChicagoGriller]

Glad to hear from you and other Aussies who say this is pretty close to spot on! For this year's Australia Day I may have a re-shoot and make these tweaks to make it even more authentic! Thanks for watching!

[@kindolgentleman3109]

I'm wasn't sure about the pickled beets, but I would definitely give it try.

[@ChicagoGriller]

Haha neither was I, but I went into this with an open mind and somehow it all works!

[@TheBaconeaterz]

Aussie burger need beets

[@ybr1960]

Beetroot is a staple on our burgers out here more so on our good old style takeaway's. For me to get a burger and they left the beetroot off I wouldn't go back. Good job on the burger.

[@ChicagoGriller]

Thanks for the Aussie endorsement! This was a very tasty - and very filling burger!

[@kindolgentleman3109]

Very interesting. Never had beetroot here in the USA

[@francoisfouche2568]

We do them the same here in New Zealand .... only difference is a little salt and pepper on the tomato ! Delicious !

[@ChicagoGriller]

Appreciate the feedback Francois, and thanks for the tip on the S&P on the tomato for next time!

[@SwagimirPutin]

The most fun part with making an Aussie burger is in the fact that the way you stack the ingredients somehow slightly alters the flavour. Don't ask me how, but it does. Personally, I use Barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce or ketchup, aioli in place of mayonnaise and I always make sure the egg yolk is runny to the point where the burger becomes really messy but it just makes it that much better. Salt and pepper on the salad as well unless the patty is really seasoned. From what I have seen, the preferences with this burger change from state to state and they even have their own slightly different version in New Zealand as well. Overall, if you (Talkin' to you 'Muricans) want your burger to only be meat, cheese, pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard, you are totally missing out.

[@ChicagoGriller]

It was indeed very fun to assemble this. Looking forward to making this again with some of these suggestions!

[@SwagimirPutin]

@@ChicagoGriller Looking forward to the messy video! 🤣

[@cameronmacdonald6362]

The burger looks great, but we generally use just natural sliced beetroot, not pickled. Also, there are large sections of Australians that detest pineapple on burgers. :) Next year you should investigate the "Bunnings sausage sizzle" aka Democracy Sausages on our election days.

[@ChicagoGriller]

Hey Cameron, really appreciate the Aussie feedback. Interesting, the natural beetroot actually would have been much easier for me to find (I was lucky and just happened to see it in ALDI one day). Pineapple is a bit "controversial" on burgers here too lol. All in all I did enjoy this burger. I've heard about the Democracy Sausages but wasn't sure when the next election was. It will be added to the list!

[@tonyparker4211]

Noooo! Not natural (raw) beetroot. It must be tinned (pickled)

[@michaelturnipseed3541]

totally different!!

[@ChicagoGriller]

Yeah, the pickled beets almost lost me, but it worked! Would have this again! Thanks for watching Michael, have a good weekend!

[@kindolgentleman3109]

It really is different

[@TasteSeries]

Burger looks delicious Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@ChicagoGriller]

Thanks! It was very tasty and also very filling!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

I would have never thought of using pineapple or pickled beets, but now we’re here, will absolutely try it. Thanks for sharing!

[@ChicagoGriller]

The pineapple is unusual, but not offensive. But yeah the pickled beets lost me. But everything did go very well together. Hope all’s well. Thanks for visiting!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

@@ChicagoGriller we eat a lot of beets in our house, so may just sneak some into the next burger 🤷‍♂️

[@eggs-benny]

From Australia. That looked delicious 👌

[@ChicagoGriller]

@loumiin, really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@fergusstothart]

I have a question about the q. Ours doesn’t ever seem to get hot enough. Each flame is always a small bean sized blue flame. You seem to have orange flames. What’s wrong with my grill? Can you help me? Love the channel by the way.

[@fergusstothart]

Btw way I’m Australian but in California using propane.

[@lesshilling2722]

Mate just saw your channel today, great effort, the only way to improve the burger is to wrap it like good old greasy Joes fish and chip shop, this stops everything spilling out, see ya I'm off for my burger

[@ChicagoGriller]

Thanks for finding and welcome to the channel! Enjoy!

[@jamesstanley11]

Pretty good mate, a little more tomato sauce would be good. Well done 👍

[@ChicagoGriller]

True, can never go wrong with more ketchup/tomato sauce! 🍅

[@colinjevons6937]

You need to cook the pineapple as well!

[@ChicagoGriller]

That has been a frequent comment/suggestion and will definitely be incorporated in Aussie Burgers II! 🍔

[@stephenflavell2652]

What is it that you use to apply the thin layer of oil to your griddle plate ?

[@ChicagoGriller]

It's just a paper towel folded and dabbed with a little bit of olive oil. Some people will use a higher heat resistant oil like avocado oil, but truth be told I don't find it really makes much difference.

[@stephenflavell2652]

@@ChicagoGriller .. Awesome, thanks for that 👍🏼.. I thought it may have been a special kind of applicator on first glance , but a square of paper towel is way easier ( and cheaper ) 😉

[@cjd3207]

Pretty good sample of our Aussie burger except you forgot the cheese. Beetroot is better sliced & a spread of pickles ot tomato chutney is good too.

[@brianwalsh1844]

You'd need a flip-top head to get that monster in!

[@ChicagoGriller]

Haha, I think I ended up forking-and-knifing the rest of it :-)

[@TheBaconeaterz]

Aussie here born and bred, the pineapple has to be fried :)

[@ChicagoGriller]

Thanks for the tip. That was indeed a common critique (in addition to using fresh pineapple instead of canned)!

[@TheBaconeaterz]

They use can pineapple & beetroot / beets here, your most welcome and your burger looks tastey :)@@ChicagoGriller

[@lesgillard1508]

Pretty good mate, but you forgot the sauces...tomatto BBQ or mustard, ;-).

[@ChicagoGriller]

Thanks for the comment! Oops yes, definitely don't forget the condiments. I have a little bit of ketchup on the top bun but didn't add any mustard. Enjoy!

Hi Jerry Well done. However i live in Australia and hate aussie burgers. I cant get my head around the pineapple and beetroot.

[@ChicagoGriller]

Pineapple I can sort of understand - you see it on "Hawaiian" burgers all the time. But I had never heard of beetroot in a burger until I heard of the Aussie Burger. To me the taste all together was nice, but I'm not going to go out of my way to make this most days.
