Making The Whataburger Patty Melt At Home | But Better

For those of you who can't afford truffles, you can use porcini powder for a deep mushroom flavor. I add porcini powder to all sorts of things. You can make it by getting a package of dried porcini mushrooms (most grocery stores have them at a reasonable price) and then grinding them into a powder in a coffee grinder you use for grinding up spices.

[@al145]

Asian supermarkets might have mushroom powder too, I don't know how it compares personally but it's probably close

[@msr1116]

I first heard of mushroom powder probably forty years ago on The Frugal Gourmet. He suggested using it for a stew or sauce needing a little something extra. Best way to go is buy items whole then grind at home.....the only sure way to know exactly what we're getting.

Made this today. Never had a patty melt before. This was AMAZING!!! Since I made shoe string onions, I made onion rings as well. I bought bread at the store for it. I didn’t use the truffles and used black pepper for all pepper. Made for an incredibly cheap meal and that was amazing. Papa’s saving me tons of money from not eating out.

[@TechBearSeattle]

I've worked at Whataburger (many years ago, granted) and I agree with how their food smells. The issue is using the same grill space for frying onions: the onion vapor permeates the oil used for frying, which gets all over the grill, which gets all over everything else cooked on the grill. If the store has been busy or it has been a few hours since they could do a deep clean, it starts to smell. Remember, hydrogen sulfide is why onions make you cry, rotten eggs stink, and farts smell bad.

[@toshay]

He said it didn't smell lol

[@mc_human1028]

Weekly ill go get myself ingredents to make a meal, or sometimes cook a snack before i go to bed before work. I was wondering if you ever considered doing a video on "setting up your pantry" or "basics every cook should have" simple spices and ingredients that are versitile and can in many combinations add flavour and kick to any meal. Sauce building, seasonings etc. Whenever i cook i find that im missing layers of flavour in my dishes just because i dont know what to buy.

Never been to what a burger. Gotta have my patty melt on Rye bead. So much flavor!

[@Neoxon619]

Funny enough, I was actually in the mood for some Whataburger. Also, was that block of parmesan cheese from Costco?

[@superpichu9115]

ayye papa made this at home and ...... so fricking delicious .

[@batuljuma559]

Happy birthday Josh!

[@xiodylol]

Hey Josh,im a single dad who loves to cool and is always trying your recipes from your channel,have probably watched each video you have lol have had the cookbook for a while, was wondering if you would ever think of starting like a “week day meals/quick at home meals” segment.

[@jack_o4817]

Bro you literally just copied the top comment

[@Natural2bmii]

I would love to see Josh travel abroad and do a "But Better." I'm interested to see how different the presentation is

[@originallyik]

If Josh has kids, they'll never complain when he says, *"We have food at home."*

[@MacNasty4477]

Kids are evil. Yes they will.

[@defensivetak75]

Anybody here rewatching because Andy cooks made this 😂😂

[@srtaking10]

🤘

[@marinatherrien6422]

Josh, thanks for the tip on Patti melt. Can you cook one of your Mom’s recipes that you loved when you were growing up? Bring back nostalgia.

[@nottherealjamboofficial4205]

" we're at Whataburger so good " had my dyin' man

[@alexdominguez4967]

I’m gonna pretend Josh didn’t just say “Whataburger is overrated” and that the patty melt is the only good thing on the menu.

[@Ringele5574]

Out of over 2.7K comments, I really don't expect mine to be seen. That being said, Whataburger lets you customize your burger more than any other chain.. If you go through the drive-through and order a patty melt, it is going to be basic. Go for the options they offer, which is extensive. Ask for the same at a McDonald's....

[@dominicmoreno4662]

Man I always get fire recommended recipes from you🔥

[@c7adventures376]

Lol. My whataburger never gets that beat up. Must have been a ruff drive thru the woods to grandmothers house. 🤔

[@apocalypticpioneers2116]

Personally I think Whataburger is the best fast food or even chain burger I've ever had. I've been to Texas once and went to 3 different Whataburgers and they were fucking WRAPPED with cars day and night. I've been to Shake Shack in Manhattan, I've gotten animal style from In-N-Out and I've had just about every major national brand except Five Guys. It's all fast food though, I do agree that they're a bit overrated but that doesn't mean they're bad.

[@tmarriotti]

The only thing I’m upset about is you forgot the spicy ketchup. That’s a whataburger staple!

[@deborahking5610]

Might be a great patty melt, but there is 0% Whataburger contained in the video. Take em on when you're ready to do a big boy Whataburger video, such as a double jalapeno burger. That would be interesting.

[@nahtan01]

The Whataburger kid was under time constants and was 17 when he made it, so the fact that Josh made it better isn’t surprising. God bless Texas, god bless Whataburger

[@SKRUBL0RD]

man's really just ground peppercorns in a vitamix, massive respect for having the only blender worth investing in.

[@PizzaJet1984]

Don’t remove the truffle. DO remove the ketchup. Will make the sauce even more special!

[@hugitkissitloveit8640]

Pro: he's a chef that teaches very well. Con: he's so embarrassing and condescending that I can't share his videos. I've been here from the beginning and this is so sad.

[@saundz8791]

I feel you… some times a cringe and face palm 🤦🏽‍♂️ while watching but I’ve learned

[@SoupInspector]

Joshua Weismann but better, just use $500 of ingredients to make a $5 sandwich. Its not but better its but expensive

[@BruhMakesGlass]

Then go to his “but cheaper” playlist?

[@jhelton1233]

Love it! But how about a a bread recipe that fits in a normal-sized loaf pan? And, a real patty melt (not the WB kind) is, of course, made with rye bread. Thanks!

[@LythonV66]

I always like to add their spicy ketchup to the patty melt myself. Great video Josh!

[@sergioramos3437]

This looks delicious but I'm so intimidated to cook it 😂 also, I used to work @ whataburger. They do salt every patty however lightly. The ultimate is a triple triple patty melt (triple meat, triple cheese) add grilled jalapeños and bacon and thank me later 😌 A good runner up we also have in TX is the Hopdoddy patty melt ... If it had the creamy pepper sauce I'd almost prefer it
