Holeman and Finch Double Cheeseburger Recipe | Copycat Burger | Ballistic Burgers

Holeman and Finch Double Cheeseburger has a cult-following at the Holeman and Finch Public House restaurant in Atlanta Georgia. This burger has been voted Atalanta's best several times and I can see why! Freshly ground blend of brisket and chuck, fresh-baked toasted buns, bread and butter pickles, American cheese, and ultra-fine sliced red onion. The theme here is fresh, simple, and high quality! In this video, I'll show you how I ground the beef for this beautiful burger, prep the onions and walk you through the entire cook, on the Blackstone Griddle.

This guy deserves at least a million subs. Seriously I'm binge watching all his videos and he's top notch. Kind of looks like the Baltimore Ravens coach too.

[@nxs0152]

I love it after he took a bite, he turns around and walks away. Coz it was effing good.

[@LuckyLobster305]

This might be one of the best reactions I’ve seen you have taking a bite, you almost broke into a little dance👍👍👍

[@tech1238]

haha

[@BallisticBurgers]

So simple and so good! Thanks for stopping by CJ!

THE failure had me laughing 😁😁😁

[@D2Kprime]

That meat-grinder fail portion of the video had me laughing my arse off! That's a good-lookin' burger. Definitely trying this one.

[@shr00m7]

From Atlanta, have had this burger several times when it was an "off-menu" item, you'd have to get there at 7-8 and wait until 10 in order to get in line for a burger- nothing compares. Now they have H&F burger restaurants that just serve the burger, and an H&F bakery to get the buns if you really want to do it at home. They also make the ketchup, mustard, and pickles, in-house. Really glad to see you recreate it.

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thank you! I was planning on calling the bakery to see if they ship, but I never got around to it. Next visit to ATL, I'm hitting H&F.

[@Gruuvin1]

Can you still go to H&F and get a burger? Or is it permanently closed?

[@shr00m7]

@@Gruuvin1 they're reopening soon according to their instagram

I've eaten there. Voted the best burger in America. Trust me, it is amazing

Making these tonight. Had one of these a couple weeks ago at the Braves game and it was incredible. No condiments needed

Such a great looking burger, simple no nonsense. That’s why I love Bleecker Burgers. Simple no nonsense burgers.

The next awesome Burger and I love both of your channels. There is a saying in Germany: he has his heart in the right place and that's what I think every time I see a video of you. Oh, the burger is fantastic and cheers from Bavaria 👍👍👍

[@scottb4767]

Great video, sorry for the equipment malfunction, but also kind of glad it happened, makes for a powerful product review. I've been wanting a meat grinder myself, so thanks for saving me the headache. Also really looking forward to the meat grinder explosion video!!!

The last time I was in Atlanta I was on the way to Vietnam in 1968. Maybe it's time to go back there. Great video Greg. Too bad about the grinder...

[@SmokedReb]

I love these simple burger recipes. A burger which can stand the test of time and be this simple is very telling of how good it actually is. Cheers!

This is as awesome as simple. Looks so tasty... Keep on going. I m looking foreward to the next burger 🍔 Regards from Germany

Greg, your discussions here are so in-depth and valuable. You should mention this channel on the other one more often.

[@neilmccormick2064]

Aw man,job well done again. Best burger channel on KZbin. I'm gonna try these at the weekend. Thanks again for the awesome channel.

[@claytonoconnell4226]

That burger looks amazing!

[@poughquagpops3379]

Great job, looks like an awesome smash burger. Assembly ideas (toppings/bottomings) are almost infinite. I believe the key to success is the double smash burger sandwich with some crunch (Maillard reaction) around the edges. I prefer two 2.5 ounce patties. Good job.

[@kevinmackinnon9807]

Why every time I watch your videos I’m all of a sudden hungry lol? Great video as always😎🍺

[@darinstgeorge]

I’ve been crushing MANY burgers lately (thanks to you & George) but I think I’m gonna have to try this red onion classic after seeing your reaction! Thanks, Chef!

[@spacedoutcowboy8621]

I just bought a grinder (Altra.$87) thru Amazon. My first grind went great. I ground a lean sirloin roast with a thick lean bacon using the largest grind die. Double grinding. Great reviews.

[@BallisticBurgers]

I have a grinder I bought a few years ago now that works great. I saw this and thought for these simple burgers it would make life easier when a smaller machine. LOL! It took itself apart! I'll check out the Altra.

[@PatrickWilliamMartin]

You can also rinse onions, or jalapeños for 10+ minutes in cold running water, really changes the flavor profile. Cut the peppers razor thin.

[@bobbicatton]

Simply delicious‼️👍

[@emartin787]

This was awesome! The grinder cracked me and the burger made my mouth water. Cheers!

[@jaymaxwell3694]

Best burger I’ve ever had. You can get them at the Braves games also.

[@Docstantinople]

Being an ATLien I’ve actually had this burger twice and it does live up to the hype. I’m glad you opted out of the ketchup and mustard as that’s how I enjoy mine also. Just a simply put together burger with top notch ingredients.

Everything just works! Can't wait to have the real-deal one of these days. Cheers Doc!

[@TexasStyleCuisine]

I tell ya for small amounts of grinding I use my kitchenaid all the time. 5 lbs or so it beats bringing out one of my big ones. I hate to laugh, but that was funny. lol Great looking burger. Thanks for sharing buddy.

[@davidrosser995]

What you buy is what you get. I use a KitchenAid to grind all my burger meat and just works out fine using a larger grade. Greg I watch your videos all the time. Have a short out there on KZbin and I follow your recipes for the Big Mac and Carroll's but you can't beat the Big Mac sauce.😊 Both are great., 👍

[@Rush-ld2qr]

Looks awesome! As always Greg! The meat grinder portion was hilarious! Thank you for sharing your awesome videos! 🇺🇸

[@octaveman]

I recently bought the Cheffano Altra grinder on Amazon for $80 and it works just fine.

[@mattkunkel2823]

Great video, I do the griddle. I also bbq with natural lump wood. The griddle is good for a delicious greasy diner style burger, but nothing beats a natural flame cooked burger. Love the videos. Keep them coming.

Sonic Drive-In has a really good new burger you might want to check out. It is the Garlic Butter Bacon Burger. They are really tasty!

[@wingandhog]

I get my hamburger and hotdog buns from Fuddruckers. (If you have them in your area). They are great buns. Baked every couple of hours and very reasonable. You do need to pre-order them before you pick them up.

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup Greg, great burger, sometimes simple is a must when in a rush👍, that grinder fail was epic lol, I had one wasn't strong enough, so I guess lots have issues, KitchenAid always comes through, don't know if you have a chili's restaurant? They make a great burger 'secret sauce burger' almost 2 years now, insane, I tried to copycat bunch of times but I don't know what that is, mine have been good but not same, please try. Tyvm tc 🍔

[@frenchfriar]

Love your channel, that burger looks so good! Request from Tennessee: Fat Mo's burgers, would love to see you do the big triple with everything.

Gonna' add that to my list right now. I love Tennessee and plan on visiting this coming Spring. Cheers David!

[@quincee3376]

Oh ya. I just saw George Motz First We Feast do a video on Fat Mo's. Looked amazing!

[@JourneymanActor]

I now butter toast my buns every time but I learned from Solly's to use salted butter. It's what adds to the flavor. 👍

[@BallisticBurgers]

I did a Solly's Burger on the Ballistic BBQ channel. During my "research" I spoke with the owner. Great guy!

[@marvinradimak9322]

Haha! You almost looked like cowboy Kent Rollins dancing around. Got to get me a meat grinder now. Famous Dave's bread and butter pickles. Little bit of sweet and a little bit of heat. I sometimes soak my onions in vinegar. Does the same thing with a little bit of sour flavor.

My favorite part about this is when Greg says "I doubt you guys can see the steam" as a large cloud of steam billows in his face

[@BallisticBurgers]

I was happy to see that when I was editing. Cheers!

A meat grinder is definitely essential for any dedicated carnivore, one of the best cheap appliances I have purchased.

Burger looked awesome Greg! Simple is often best, but only when the quality is there. This burger is the textbook example of that theory. By the way, please dispose of that cheap grinder in the manner you suggested. Put the ballistic in Ballistic Burgers!

[@mikerelva6915]

Love just the onions, cheese and butter as condiments too....that's all you need. Even just high quality beef, butter and cheese is lit. I feel like us Americans have gone over kill with the over powering condiments and sauces, but you don't need that if the ingredients are quality enough. And when you keep it more minimalistic, high quality cook & ingredients, it's actually better......perfect comparison is a well made pizza with just elite dough, simple san marzano sauce, fresh mozzarella and a good cook versus a Domino's Pizza that has a thousand ingredients in it. Simple and quality is always the best.

Hey Greg, ever since we saw your recipe for homemade American Cheese we have stopped buying the store bought stuff. Maybe you can repost that video or do a new one for the Ballistic Burger Channel. The wife and I love both your channels!

[@kennyb40]

Congrats on another great cook, Greg! Did you use brisket flat or point for the grind?

[@righteyeartistry156]

KitchenAid works just fine for me. Leave the working parts in the freezer over night. No room for a bigger machine. Gonna grind up some beef cheek and point brisket. Should make fine burger. Also will cold smoke the meat for just about two hours before grinding. It worked for a ground chuck roast.
