Best Burger In America? Au Cheval Double Cheeseburger Copycat!

[@mikeflorence8655]

Hi Greg, it's Mike Florence and you are really getting us going in 2024. I watched your original post three years ago and have made sooooo many over the years!!! This is a GREAT reminder of one of your BEST videos. For anyone interested, your other best videos in my view are the Stockyard Burger and the Nirvana Burger. All these three are OUT OF THIS WORLD thanks to your meticulous presentation. On behalf of ALL LOYAL SUBSCRIBERS I wish to nominate you as BURGER MEISTER of KZbin!!! Cheers for now Greg, Mike.

[@paulb2741]

I completely agree

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Mike! I really love that Stockyard Burger! I may do an updated version of that cook... Everything about that recipe just works. Cheers, buddy!

[@Mickcotton]

Yes✅ I’d put Greg above even The Burger Professor George Motz Greg is #1 🍔🏆🥇

[@jauneetbrun]

Please go metric. So much easier for everyone if you use Celsius. 500F = 260°Celsius. 299F = 148°Celsius. I've been watching your videos for years and they're great 👍.

[@BallisticBurgers]

@@jauneetbrun Thank you for the feedback! I will try to remember to convert to Celsius and post it on the screen. 71% of my audience is from the US, and we're still on the Imperial System here. I can remember (when I was a kid) there was a big push to go metric, but it just didn't take. Again, thanks for the feedback and I'll do my best to make those conversions.

[@bradg1440]

I love the egg on the burger! That has become my favorite!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Ok, that burger officially has my mouth watering like a waterfall! Absolutely beautiful burger!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Rus! Appreciate your stopping by brother!

[@agingerbeard]

A work of art I was drooling like a dog 😅

[@slisyd]

Great burger. What would up this channel to an even higher level is to have a recipe under the info. You make the best burgers hands down so getting this wealth of knowledge is is priceless.

[@stanleyfoldes8714]

Hey Greg, french viewer here, I believe the name name "Au Cheval" is a take on "Steak Haché avec œuf à Cheval", which means Burger patty with egg on a horse. In this case the patty is the horse and the egg the rider. I've been watching you for years but never commented, I love your videos! This one looked really good and fancy!

[@BallisticBurgers]

I really appreciate the information and a big thank you for leaving a comment! Cheers!

[@lucascady4992]

I really enjoy the Honesty and integrity of the way this guy cooks! Quality ingredients, cooked very well, attention to detail, not a lot of filler talk, straight to the point!! Keep doing what you're doing! Burger looks Amazing!! 😮

[@grillyeah]

Remember those Grey Poupon commercials, then they made a joke of it in Wayne's World. Dating myself lol. Cheers Greg

[@aeroplane_jellie]

Greg! I love how you go into absolutely every fine detail with the copycat burgers! Can you possibly do a “Steak Sanga” From Australia? 🇦🇺 Cheers mate!

[@BallisticBurgers]

I have never heard of a Steak Sanga, but I will sure look it up! Love learning new things. Thanks!

[@slisyd]

I am from Australia and i have never heard of a steak stanga lol damn google images look pretty good!

[@BrentsBistro]

Was in Chicago pre-pandemic and ate this burger - amazing! Good job on your recreation.

[@nursultantulyakbaycats]

Isnt dijonnaise a hollandaise with dijon mustard instead of a mayo?

[@seanmcwhirk405]

No there's not any egg yolks used or clarified butter used with mayonnaise in hollandaise sauce. The two are totally different except for the bit of lemon juice ( of course the type of mayonnaise used for Dijonaise might have eggs in the recipe just look at the label). Just going from memory I don't believe mustard is used for hollandaise sauce lol but I'd have to double check to confirm ( it's been a while since I made it).

[@wfodavid]

WOW! The video was one of your best.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you!

[@shane2239]

Amazing looking burger! Amazing channel.... cheers 🍻

[@BallisticBurgers]

Cheers, Shane!

[@blinkenpilzen]

Had it in Chicago where it draws a crowd even on a weekday afternoon - and it's a wonderful burger, especially if you make it at home without the hassle of the long lines. I remember them making it in large batches, served almost well done like here but it's set off by the bacon and the sunny side up egg. So, on point - great job, thank you!

[@Kevin_747]

That might be the best burger I've seen you make. Lots of complimentary flavors.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you Kevin. This is why I decided to re-post on this channel. I'm well aware that a lot of the viewers here don't visit my BBQ channel. I really like this copycat! Cheers!

[@eriknulty6392]

@@BallisticBurgers REQUEST- the (EL DIABLO BURGER) from Carls Jr. but use higher quality beef.

[@SmokedReb]

Awesome video and burger! I was pleasantly surprised the burger that is voted "best" wasted to oner the top of ingredients and flavors. It takes the best quality products and makes some incredible with it.

[@TravelingThruLife]

It’s my favorite burger. Thanks for this.

[@tomstestkitchen]

I would have to say that is one of the best looking burgers in America. Great job Greg.

[@seanmcwhirk405]

Greg, was wondering if there's no access to the meat grinder if an 80/20 ground chuck ( which you commonly use in several copycat burgers), would be similar enough for replacement instead of ground NY strip? Also, what type of thick bacon cut was that again, jowl sliced by hand or something else? Thank you for all you do and your time and devotion to all of us which appreciate those awesome burgers and try our best to keep up. You are inspiring for those who try to cultivate any type of culinary divination from watching this type of posts, which are littering the Internet and your videos are easily discernible from the rest.

[@2Wheels_NYC]

Looking good, Greg! I plan on making it in here over the next month or so, along with George Motz's new spot. I'll be eating a lot of burgers in Feb! Your take looks excellent!

[@paulb2741]

What an outstanding burger. I loved it when you smashed it and the juices oozed out

[@BallisticBurgers]

It's a keeper Paul! Cheers, brother!

[@Cremantus]

Thank you... thank you very much... I really looked into the details and I saw a perfect match... thx very much for presentation.... great show, Greg. Really.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!

[@Pitcher88]

I just came across Michelle's channel when she was doing the academy training. I was surprised to see you there. Thanks Greg for your service!

[@BallisticBurgers]

That was an interesting day for sure. Thanks, for stopping by!

[@jonah8720]

Alright, I made this burger again like I promised. I followed your directions perfectly this time (except I smashed them) and it was much better! I always try different types of burgers, and this one was very unique. Although the ingredients don't sound very strange, the burger had an extremely unique flavor profile.

[@matthewflugstad7646]

Greg-great job! One small detail you missed (not sure how much of a difference it makes), but when I was there a few years ago in Chicago, I sat at the bar right in front of the cook for 2 hours. They par cook the bacon on the griddle, then finish it under the salamander with the syrup and black pepper.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thanks for the info! Cheers, Matthew!

[@DerickZ28]

I love the look of those perfect patties! 👌👌

[@EverydayBBQ]

Wow this thing looked JUICY and perfect flavors coming in there. I’ll take two 2️⃣.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thanks for stopping in brother-Mike!

[@jonah8720]

Thanks for posting this again. I tried making this burger when you first made the video and I wasn't a big fan. I'd like to give it another shot though. To be fair, I didn't copy it perfectly last time.

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup Greg, looks great, nice to splurge and elevate a burger now and then. With prices these days, well done bro. Tyvm tc 🍔

[@BallisticBurgers]

Prices are crazy right now! Thanks for watching Ronald!

Au Chevral The Best Burger on the Planet!! Out of Chicago. Anout 10 hrs away from Evansville IN! The steak burger!!! THE WAY YOU RECREATED IT GREG!! The dionnaise, the 3 melt in your mouth patties, the bacon, red onions, the thin pickles and the Sunnyside up egg!! Delicious!!!

[@PoliticallyIncorrect90]

Evansville, IN is about 5.5 hours from Chicago.

[@tadcreamer-pz7ev]

Well done sir!!

[@Mickcotton]

Yes 👍 That looks Amazing. Another Request to Add. Ultimate Burger from Kailua-Kona Hawai’i. Voted Best Burger in The State. Family Owned Big Island Grass Feed Cattle Beef. I just got back. It was Great. And super Skinny Fries & Secret Sauce to Die For. 👍✅. Cheers My Brother. Stay Safe & Take Care 🌸✈️🙏

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Mike! I'll have to look into that one brother!

[@Lebowski55]

I'd suggest doing The Loyalist burger in Chicago

[@leedoss6905]

Burger looks fantastic. I've made them before not knowing it was a thing.

[@karlgustav1346]

This Burger looks absolutely fantastic! 👍 Greetings from Germany

[@BallisticBurgers]

Cheers, Karl!

[@stephensano9156]

Each burger patty was beautifully caramelized on the flip and having them the same diameter gave a single patty appearance. I think I'd rather have your version Greg!

[@backroadbbqgrill239]

Great looking burger

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, brother!

[@johnr.5706]

What a great burger! Hopefully the Lemmy Burger makes its way over to this channel as well 🍻

[@BallisticBurgers]

Good call! Gotta' give Lemmy some love. RIP

[@robertwayman7974]

You should do a top 10 burgers / hot dogs of the year segment. (Just my opinion, of course). Enjoy your videos a lot. Thanks.

[@backwoodscountryboy1600]

Now that is what I call a great looking hamburger.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Brother!

[@waycool1969]

I would have to travel 65 miles to get to Au Cheval's to try that Burger in Chicago. I will save this video and cook it on my 36' Blackstone.

[@yigitsen8847]

loved the video greg very well done i have a question how come it is called double cheese burger but it consist of 3 patties ? is it something to do with it has 2 cheese slices ? because all that i know is patty count = how big is the burger thanks in advance

[@BallisticBurgers]

Yes, it is the two slices of cheese. I agree with you too... Kind of confusing with three patties.

[@VincentVader]

I suggest trying Milo's Hamburgers if you're ever passing through the Birmingham, AL metro.

[@randynelson9620]

"A nice fist full of meat" Made me giggle...😂🤣😂🤣

[@BallisticBurgers]

LOL! Thanks for watching!

[@idaslash]

Hi Greg, I'm Brian. Really enjoy your videos on here and your bbq channel. Just wondering if you've ever had a Nessy Burger? Back fifteen years or so ago, I used to drive truck down I-15, and I'd always see these big crowds of 18 wheelers parked behind this gas station just off 15 on the 76 in Fallbrook. Looking closer, I noticed there was a food shack back in there that was packed. Anyway, next time through, I stopped and had the first of many nessy burgers.. soo good! I've since moved away so haven't been there in well over 10 yrs. You should check them out and would love to see your copycat version in an upcoming video. Keep the burgers coming. Brian

[@BallisticBurgers]

I'll check them out next time I find my self up north. Thanks!

[@garyshackleford8446]

[@latigomorgan]

Looks kind of like the breakfast sandwiches I made this morning, but used sausage patties.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you for watching! Love a good breakfast Sammy!

[@tradingelk6914]

Hey Greg, as a burger novice, I was wondering how do you keep your burgers staying flat while cooking? Few times I've made homemade burgers they tend to "balloon" in the middle. Is it related to having a high enough fat content? Or something else? Anyway, love your vids!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Usually the swelling has to do with an overworked patty. I shot a video that addresses these issues. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6DRlnyOqd6eZsU. Hope this helps!

[@tradingelk6914]

Awesome, that video slipped me by, thanks!@@BallisticBurgers

[@paulmarion3290]

What meat grinder is that ?

[@garyK.45ACP]

Great video! Looks like a great burger! Instead of "Dijonnaise", try this... mix 2 parts Dijon mustard with 1 part maple syrup! (Real maple syrup is best) Put that on your burgers, hot dogs and ham sandwiches....It's AWESOME!!!!!!!!! You will have trouble keeping Dijon mustard and maple syrup in the house!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Sounds amazing! Thanks!

[@kenroberts9366]

Where did you get that bacon from?

[@davidhissey2670]

Hi Greg, I have to have one of those ballistic burger hats….. do you have merch

Working on it, but not yet. I'll post when I do!

[@PotatoSalad7777]

Greg! Can you please do a copy cat recipe of the famous “theta” burger from Oklahoma! I grew up eating it, lived in Oklahoma all my life.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thanks for the suggestion Clay! I actually go to Oklahoma a few times a year, and I have never had a Theta Burger, so your suggestion is perfect! I'm already looking into where to go... From what I've read it started in Norman, but is very popular in OKC. Thanks!!!

[@Timbalo0]

I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of bacon on burgers (it has the tendency to be overpowering), but i totally dig the maple sirup idea. Also can we please normalise eggs on burgers? 🤤

[@BallisticBurgers]

The sweetness definitely tones down the porky flavor. Thanks for watching!

[@karlsmith1533]

You’re the best Greg…

[@BanjiReacts]

I lowkey thought this video was already on this channel and idk why LMAO. Glad to see this on here! That burger looks so good (minus the onion and pickle, im not a fan unfortunately).

[@BallisticBurgers]

LOL! I thought it was too, until I searched for it to share with a buddy of mine!

[@BanjiReacts]

@@BallisticBurgers well there ya go lmao. I've been subbed long enough to remember when it dropped, i feel like, somethin like 3 or so weeks after that dropped was when this channel started? Maybe idk

[@78LedHead]

One of the most decadent, bougie burgers you've ever made. I could eat two of those right now. Good job, Greggie. You're the man.

[@BallisticBurgers]

#1 decadent goes to the copycat "Glamburger" I did a while back on Ballistic BBQ. Taste and (not crazy wise) I'll take this one any day! Thanks for watching!

[@mr.shadestrains6033]

Amazing 👍😎🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔

[@SK1BBE]

All these comments and no one mentions its a tripple burger, not a dubble?

[@BallisticBurgers]

It's a "Double Cheese" burger. To your point, however I think it should be named a triple beef, double cheeseburger.

[@SK1BBE]

@@BallisticBurgers Yeah, i have always used Dubble/Tripple according to the pattys not the amount of cheese, but i am gussing i am doing it wrong 😋

[@BigHalfSteps]

Doing a copycat of your copycat is tight. Now I know what to try in a couple of days.

[@LloydMayes]

OMG I’m so hungry ❤

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you for watching!

[@voldem0rt]

That looks like a Triple!

[@BallisticBurgers]

I agree with you, but they name this one a "double cheeseburger" simply because of two slices of cheese. I'm thinking, "double cheese, triple beef?"

[@daveogarf]

*Not "Au Chevelle", but "Au Chev-ALL" - "On a horse", referring to the practice of putting a soft-cooked egg on other food items.* (And it's "Bone ah-peh-TEE", NOT "Bone Ah-peh-TEAT".)

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

Oh, phew. Based on the name I was worried for a moment this would involve horse meat ;)

[@dtsiegler]

looks well done... literally no pink come on

[@mflambert]

the burger needs to be constructed upside down from how it is done. The bottom bun gets destroyed by juice doing it this way. EASY FIX!

[@BallisticBurgers]

This is a copycat recipe and Au Coeval builds it this way. Seems to working out for them.

[@mflambert]

I know its a copycat and I'm not calling you out for it being wrong, but it is wrong

Not to take attention away from this fantastic burger, but damn brother! I cant help to notice the bandaid on your neck. What happened? Are you ok?

@@BallisticBurgers Bey Greggy! In 2016 for a short time Wendy’s released the Jalapeño Fresco spicy chicken sandwich. Honestly the best spicy chicken sandwich I ever had. The spice level was more than any other. If you could somehow recreate it, that would be awesome.

[@BallisticBurgers]

@@Docstantinople It doesn't look like it's on the menu anymore. Sounds good, but this is something I'd actually like to eat before doing a copycat. Think that would go on my other channel. Thoughts?

[@Docstantinople]

@@BallisticBurgers Yeah I hear you, wish you had tried it when it came out. It really was an awesome sandwich. Jalapeño bun, their standard spicy chicken breaded patty, pepper jack cheese, red onions, ghost pepper sauce, and fresh(not pickled) diced jalapeños. It was really unique sandwich to be in a fast food restaurant. It was only around for a few months I think and then they pulled it and I haven’t seen it since. I guess it was too much spice for most of their customers. I actually mentioned it years ago on the other channel. I totally get if you’re not able to do a vid. I’ve never looked but I doubt there’s any existing copy cat recipes since it was around such a short time.

[@PBJCB]

Greg really tired of reviewing burgers, man tried slitting his throat 😩

[@jesussalvador8495]

your burger is no way close i used to work for the company but i must say the dijonaise is kinda close

[@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

imo Au Cheval serves overrated-and overpriced-burgers. It's good, for sure, but overthinking something that's simple and thoroughly satisfying to begin with is simply unnecessary. The whole idea of gourmet burgers is bullshit. imo
