This guys does crazy thorough videos, or with high production vale. How does he only have 47,000 subscribers. He should EASILY have 750,000. No lie.

[@keithf3608]

love this channel. how do you only have 45k subs? I am craving a burger now lol

[@BallisticBurgers]

I don't think YT is a big fan. They control the reach of videos. It is what it is... Thanks!

[@amphetaminelogic7006]

Sensational burger. Made these tonight and they are outerageous. Small changes (dutch mayo, seeded buns, regular thin smash), but still a flavor powerhouse. This sauce dude 😊😊😊...so simple but 100% in yer face flavor...

[@pripyat.sadboi8092]

THIS CHANNEL DESERVES WAY MORE SUBS

[@mapleleaf902]

I am now knocking burgers out of box because of your videos. So awesome. Thank you.

[@BallisticBurgers]

That is awesome! Thanks for the comment!

[@Callahangonefishin]

Now that burger looks absolutely amazing, simple, but man those edges. Nice work! Cheers

[@movzhepok3997]

I knew from all your videos that you were a great person, but that shirt leaves no doubt ! And of course, that burger with the smashing technique looked fantastic. A simple, well thought and well constructed burger. Thanks for the content !

[@BallisticBurgers]

LOL! So, I did a Lemmy tribute burger on my other channel about six years ago, you may want to see. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epKxm6xvm6h0hKM. Thanks for watching!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I like the contrast of that burger. The crust is so awesome, and there is a nice centre. Cheers, Greg! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🍔

[@BallisticBurgers]

That's what I like about it as well. Cheers, Dwayne!

[@donmorgan3710]

Since I started watching your videos, I've been taking burgers to a new level.Tonight is a combo of venison and pork with "American" Swiss with chimichurri.

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

The edges look heavenly.

[@DoofusPics]

Love the Lemmy’s Lounge shirt! The Rainbow is my favorite bar!

[@BallisticBurgers]

We love The Rainbow as well. Took my son there for his 21st a couple weeks ago.

[@tonystrades8007]

Love the burger 🍔 😋 looks great I I do have a request I seen all your videos on burgers but I would like to see you make a chicken burger like to see what you do with that thanks

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you Tony! I'll see what I can come up with.

[@noelgraham4607]

That looks pretty darn good! Just got a flat top and this will be one of the inaugural cooks

[@BallisticBurgers]

Hope you enjoy!

[@jerrygaines4720]

Looks amazing!

[@davisgrove8931]

Hey Greg, Great video! Your attention to detail is amazing. This burger will become a staple at my house.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Davis! Cheers, brother!

[@AliA99]

keep it up man love ur videos !

[@Adam_K_W]

That looks pretty fantastic! Nice work as always my friend! I'd never have considered smashing the outer edges and leaving the center a bit thicker. Brilliant

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thanks, Adam! Hope all is well in OK, brother!

[@stephensano9156]

Wow! You get such great results on the flat top and the smasher works well! Beautiful smash Greg!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you Stephen!

[@hendoiii3487]

This makes me so hungry. You have gained my subscribe. I so wish i could afford to make and feed my family these burgers but unfortunately I am broke and cant afford to keep the lights on. God bless buddy

[@aeroplane_jellie]

Cannot wait to watch this one Greg! Hope you’re well mate! Love from down under! 🇦🇺

[@BallisticBurgers]

Cheers! Thank you for stopping by!

[@bobbicatton]

Great burger! Best of both world with the thicker center and crispy edges👍😊

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thanks for watching Bobbi! Cheers!

[@paulpence8895]

Was planning on making burgers tomorrow evening, trying this one!!!

[@BallisticBurgers]

It's worth trying, Paul!

[@michaeltschuertz]

More Videos about how to Do burgers, like what to Look out for, how to Do it right, how to get a feel when to flip, stuff like that.

[@zeebass2690]

Lovely. Enjoy your videos!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you!

[@Pfasma5]

Love the multiple angles of the “smash”

[@jtc2112]

agreed, this was great

[@RJ-rg2dk]

Absolutely love the Motörhead T-shirt. And the burger recipe was damn good as well!!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thanks!

Absolutely delicious looking

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Ira!

[@kylegrate9325]

Never seen you eat an entire burger while still filming!! . Must be good.

[@BlairW387]

Hey Greg, been a subscriber of yours for many years now. Sorry off topic question here, but I was just down in San Diego last week for a couple days in an area called Del Mar. Couple miles from Torrey Pines. Curious about how far away are you from there? Keep up the great videos and recipes.

[@etherdog]

We had a great burger in Victoria, BC at Big Wheel on Cook Street. It wasn't a thin smash burger but it had a fantastic crust. Unfortunately they were so busy I couldn't do any intel gathering, but it was so good it was the only place I visited twice last week.

[@BallisticBurgers]

I have a buddy that lives in Victoria. I'll see if I can get some info on that burger.

[@ChuckDeCarlo]

Nice! -- Another "smashing success" and sauce is the boss. 👌😃🍔

[@BallisticBurgers]

Cheers, Chuck!

[@Mickcotton]

❤. The Best Burgers in LA are My Copy’s of Your Copy’s 😂😂. Your The Cheese Burger God 🏆. Thank You So Much 😊. Cheers 🥂

[@BallisticBurgers]

LOL! Thanks, Mike! The wife and I buzzed up to Father's Office the other day on a quick turn-and-burn. I'll be shooting that next week.

[@tedschmitt178]

Watching these videos before dinner is dangerous for my waistline.

[@9929kingfish]

That sauce looks tasty

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you! Simple, yet good!

[@garyjennings9458]

That IS gold!😄Greg, you’re always bringing it. Love this one and I can see a squeeze bottle of that sauce in my fridge already. Thanks brother!

[@garyjennings9458]

We’re glad you discovered this place too!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Gary!

[@garyjennings9458]

Made it Greg. Got a squeeze bottle of sauce in the fridge. Really good 😛

[@fredflint3998]

The sauce seems like it would be awesome. I would take things a step further by roasting my own garlic.

[@jamesstein5087]

Just curious as to how much practice it took to get this technique down? Thanks, great video.

[@BallisticBurgers]

It only took two burgers to get it down. Great question!

[@slisyd]

When are you going to release a book on all these burgers and sauces?

[@BallisticBurgers]

I've been working on a book, it's just slow going. I'll get it done though!

[@DennisHolstein]

Would Dijon mustard also work for the sauce?

[@gregsilsby6884]

That is an incredible looking burger!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Greg!

[@nickynorka]

Approximately what temp is that griddle when you put the meat on?

[@garrisonh]

my new technique for smash burgers-very cool!

[@BallisticBurgers]

It is pretty cool. Cheers!

[@randynelson9620]

Love that shirt!! 🤘🤘

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Randy! We celebrated mine and my son's birthdays at the Rainbow a couple weeks ago. Toasted Lemmy while we were there.

[@randynelson9620]

That's awesome!! Jack and Coke! 🤘🤘

[@gregmay9097]

I live in Mt Washington, imagine my surprise to find that there's a Goldburger in Highland Park 1.9 miles away, time to sample their burger.

[@BallisticBurgers]

There's a Gold Star in Mt. Washington. There are only two Goldburger locations and they're in the LA area.

[@gregmay9097]

​​@@BallisticBurgersGold Star Burger is actually in the city of Glendale on South Brand Blvd. The other Goldburger is in the Los Feliz area on North Vermont Ave.

[@leedoss6905]

Check out the Bluebonnet Cafe in Marble Falls Texas. They've been around since 1929. They make a hamburger that has an 8 ounce patty and a double meat that is 1 pound for basically the same price as the fast food garbage. I've eaten there on and off all my life.

[@chrisliberty1773]

You need to copy the Boerne TX. version of the Goldburger 'ala CompadresHill Country Cocina....this looks absolute killer though!

[@BallisticBurgers]

I'll check them out! Hoping to visit Texas soon.

[@robburns7440]

Love the shirt.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you!

[@jeromehahaha118]

👍

[@Skeeter123]

Except for the sauce this is basically the same as an Oklahoma onion burger that's been around in Okla since the 1920's. The burger looks delicious 😋

[@BallisticBurgers]

Very similar, but not the same amount of onion. I've been to both Sid's and Roberts and love a good Onion Burger!

[@cervenypes123]

Space music and pickles

[@Ese_Joe]

The J.A. Burger at Lupe’s Burritos in East L.A. on 3rd street! 😎

[@MrRatFinkster]

What I am curious about is what burgers you cook for a backyard cook out.

[@BallisticBurgers]

It depends. If I'm cooking on the flattop, I'll take requests. If someone wants a smash burger, that's what they'll get. I usually whip up a couple different sauces and let them choose the toppings.

[@Cremantus]

Thumbs up, bro. And concerning Lemmy's Lounge... we are all the same.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Cheers!

[@mikeking3853]

Great burger and T- shirt

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you, Mike!

[@billstewart1747]

I can do a 👍 even before watching 😀

[@BallisticBurgers]

LOL! Thank you, Bill!

[@RaiderGraf]

Awesome, I've noticed you've been doing a lot of LA burgers lately. What are the chances we see you do a Billionaire Burger Boys copycat?

[@BallisticBurgers]

I'll get it on the list. I haven't been there yet, but we drive up to LA a few times a year to visit cool places to eat. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@jeshflores6499]

Can u try the arch deluxe from McDonald's

[@BallisticBurgers]

It's on my list!

[@wesleyrussell8386]

4:24 the lost onion 😢

[@BallisticBurgers]

RIP.

[@dustydustydusty]

I can do that! I will do that.

[@thisworldaccordingtome9495]

This suggestion might sound ponci but what about tagine recipes for your other channel?

[@BallisticBurgers]

I do not, but I like think it's a great idea. Thank you!

[@ray7419]

Fantastic!! Only thing I would change is to add some pickled jalapeños. Thanks Greg!! 👍

[@scotto3826]

That looks delicious and I'm not even a pickle fan! But I have to make another comment. I understand the goal in making a smashburger. But turning the meat into a paper thin paste that's smeared on the grill is taking a good thing too far. You can get that crispy edge goodness without having to do that. Just my opinion! The wonderful thing about burgers is there's a million ways to make one and none of them are wrong!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you for the comment. If you didn't like this technique, stand by for my next copycat video, Scott!

[@scotto3826]

​@BallisticBurgers I can't wait!

[@mikeflorence8655]

Hi Greg, it's Mike Florence and I trust you and your good lady are well. I really enjoyed this video. The Smashburger you demo so clearly is really exceptional for anyone who has already been cooking Smashburgers. GREAT NEW TECHNIQUE. I'm gonna practice this with a view to serving some up at my garden party next weekend. And that simple looking sauce is probably going to be really tangy. Thanks for yet ANOTHER OUTSTANDING Burger recipe. Cheers for now Greg, Mike.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you kindly, Mike! Cheers, brother!

[@SwissMarksman]

Men look at this video and yell "Hell yeah!"

[@BallisticBurgers]

LOL! Appreciate your checking it out!

[@montmn]

Motorhead!!!!!!

[@Mike_Greentea]

For 1/20 of the cost

[@BallisticBurgers]

Exactly! Thanks for watching, Mike.

[@RealBigBadJohn]

You and I use the BEST garlic paste on the market.⬅

[@robertaltman3801]

I just told a guy today at Walmart the same thing as I picked some up. Their cilantro is phenomenal as well.

[@RealBigBadJohn]

@@robertaltman3801 I do what Julia Child did. She told Larry King, "Cilantro? If I see any, I throw it on the floor."

[@MilipTichaelPhomas]

This burger is rigged

[@davidmcdavidson999]

Is that a skull in the background?

[@BallisticBurgers]

So, our backyard has a tiki/jungle cruise thing going on. Tikis, floats and such. That skull is painted to look like the ones you see on The Jungle Cruise.

[@krs357]

I'm sorry but there's nothing to love about a crunchy burger.

[@BallisticBurgers]

That's why we have different flavors of ice cream as well.

[@longacre1041]

Looks good…. But way too much sauce.

[@huss1205]

That's a ruined burger with edges no more edges...

[@BallisticBurgers]

Meanwhile, Goldburger is making bank. Someone likes them!

[@huss1205]

@@BallisticBurgers people have different tastes, that's fine, but so thin makes moisture runs away and no juice anymore...
