I mad this and I was SO HAPPY! It turned out aweome! It hit all the right notes. I was showing a picture of it to anyone who would look like it was a picture of my first born child. Thanks for sharing!

haha nice! Glad you liked it!

@@TheeBurgerDude I have a question about vegan meat, is it juicy?

[@honeynetalove]

Lmfaaaooooo

[@cindycarter4302]

After 17 years I still like my vegan fast food and this channel always inspires me to eat more burgers. I'm going to try this one and see what my husband thinks.

[@Mary-eo9pd]

Mmm vegan burger 🤤

[@manueldio7237]

I bought your cookbook and I have to say, these thing actually taste like the originals. Love it!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Thank you!

[@Your_god_sucks]

If it's not Thee burger dude, I send it back!

[@ThatGuy-dj3qr]

These look so good! One suggestion I would make as I saw the onions falling off your patties is to add them directly on top of the special sauce. This keeps them in place.

[@FlorianMetz]

I've tried your recipe from the book and had some Italian buns, they are gigantic and it was a feast 🎉🍔👌

[@VeryTastySoup87]

Awesome video! Always wanted to try a vegan version of this burger

[@FenasLovenas]

[@chyenne2483]

I purchased his cookbook and I can’t wait to use it after I come off this fruit cleanse!

[@DaniRyanMusic]

this is the most spectacular looking big mac replica I've ever seen.

[@veganfortheanimals6994]

Actually, as I said many times (and won't stop saying), I wish that you would open a nationwide chain of restaurants !

[@ctcentralinfo]

Made one today. It actually came out great for a first attempt. One thing I can say it doesn't have that funny chemical after taste you sometimes get with regular fast food burgers.

[@FOOD2o]

this video taught me the difference between a cheeseburger and a hamburger that has cheese on it, thank you for that

[@linzertube]

You definitely improved this burger. I always like your flavours…I’m glad that you made a new burger sauce. Thanks, TheeBurgerDude!!🤩

[@PacMaster2012]

I greatly appreciate the intentionally-messy way you apply your sauce

[@cameronchapa4162]

this is a burger philosophy video

[@cameronchapa4162]

in the very best way

[@Tyler_Skye77]

I'd suggest using brown mustard, it doesn't have the spiciness of the dijon, but it doesn't have the strong tangy bitterness that yellow mustard does.

[@jensenfilms2586]

That tofutti cheese looks amazing. I didn't know they had that

[@Hopeinformer]

That's how a Bic Mac is made. I like your version hands down dude.

[@willd6215]

Looks nice. I liked the way saucestache wrapped and microwaved the burger to bring it together before eating

[@toxx1220]

I'll definitely have to try this

[@NaturalCouple]

Great job!!

[@andreawalker7138]

That looks delicious! Thanks for adding ketchup to the sauce (I am def team ketchup 😋) Also, the amount of pickles you used on your Big Mac should be called an 'orgy' of pickles 😆

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I was gonna say orgy but wanted to keep it PG lol!

[@minniepryor3065]

If you get the 2 pack impossible burger and slice them in half its the perfect size!!!

Great video. I would really enjoy one of those vegan burgers right now. Keep up the great work.

[@JaspalSingh-mb9dj]

Sir, you have a real america flavour. Love you 🇺🇸

[@Seven_Craig]

Your version looks way better! Great video 🍔

[@theoriginalmilji]

I can’t wait to make this. Big Macs were my favorite too before I went vegan. I remember there was a vegan burger called the Big Zac from Plant Power that was AMAZING!! But…. They’re only located in Southern California.🥺

[@sophie0002]

I will gladly compare both yours together to see whose is thicker but I'll need to see them and weigh them up side by side....

[@BabaDanese]

I made the Big Mac as well! But it’s not even close to how good urs look. You really nailed it! 🍔

I have been making impossible patties in the air fryer. Come out really juicy and less mess. Doesn't stick too. My pans are pretty worn out

[@screamer8590]

NGL after watching a couple of your vids i'm more open to vegan foods. IDK if i could go all vegan i personality would go all seafood but cooking vegan is pretty fun.

[@ansh7499]

[@eddiemasa77]

Yum!

[@cakebeary]

I never liked the Big Mac but always a pleasure to watch your vids 💜

[@mrMankx]

omg....yummy!🤤

[@alyshalebrun2196]

Your sauce seems close to the "Triple O's" sauce from White Spot (I believe they are only in Canada) but I usually make a sauce similar to this for dipping vegan nuggets!

[@kenempay9001]

i respect you so much, as you are interesting to learn from! if only i could afford your recipes as shipment is quite expensive.

[@suzannemccabe386]

Looks DELICIOUS 😋😋😋👍

[@t.k.5088]

I always put ketchup on my "McDonald's" sauce, I legit had no idea the red was only paprika... but, hey, ketchup is delicious anyway 😂

[@Love2Banime]

Have fast food burgers shrunk?

[@ViewerEm]

quick note about the buns, if youre vegan, make sure to look out for l-cysteine in the ingredients list. thats your sign that animals were used in the dough conditioning.

[@tamcon72]

There are more plant-based versions, though they are not labeled differently. I always call a company to specifically ask what their dough conditioners are derived from, saying that I'm deathly allergic.

[@arnoldkwashingtonjr]

Do you think the 1.6 comes from after cooking weight?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Could be, not sure!

Yummmmm 🥰🥰

[@kateliness2]

So I've never had a "real" big Mac but I've had several vegan recreations. This one was fabulous (though I did only a single patty bc small mouth)! I think I'm also team raw onion as much as I enjoy grilled onions on lots of things.

[@PercyRiverwood]

That looks absolutely scrumptious! Sidenote: where can I get good vegan bacon? Can't manage to find it anywhere.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Thanks! I like to make homemade rice paper bacon. I have a recipe on my blog!

What about a big mac with both raw and roasted onions? Onions are my favourite vegetable tho... 😅

[@jeffjones9038]

Hey dude! Did you hear Mickey D’s is bringing back the double Big Mac???

[@sumedhsawant9936]

In India its called Maharaja mac , but really to be true McDonald's really doesn't taste good after some time. Maybe because of less spice. But yours looked good 👍

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I've seen that! I wanna make some of the India McDonald's stuff!

[@sumedhsawant9936]

@TheeBurgerDude It would be awesome 😋

[@Marco_-yj4vw]

I'm not a vegan but it looks delicious

[@waltermercado9152]

Can impossible meat be consumed raw?

[@tamcon72]

It doesn't have blood or fecal matter, like regular ground beef, so is probably safer to consume raw, but why would you want to?

[@Dawn-zo2ny]

Why not do onions both ways, in case you didn't think of it...(going forward)...

[@soniajacobs3038]

Yours looks amazing and I will definitely try it, but saying the Big Mac was dry indicates you did something wrong. As I recall, they were always so messy because the sauce caused them to slide all over the place.

[@excellent8105]

Maybe it's a thing with my country, but hasn't McDonald's always been synonymous with dryass burgers?

[@sowhat...]

Wait but I heard long ago that the Impossible Burger is plant based but not vegan cuz it's tested on animals or something. I think they even admitted that themselves a few years back and said that that's why it's not vegan.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Nearly every new ingredient is tested on animals. I put the onus on the FDA rather than the companies working within our effed up food system.

[@tamcon72]

One ingredient in the mixture had to be tested once on lab rats to be deemed safe by the FDA. People saying that Impossible Burgers aren't vegan because of this don't know anything about industrial food preparation.

[@jaquebus]

FOR SCIENCE

[@penni6432]

I put ketchup on my ketchup!!!

[@sowhat...]

McDonald's excludes ketchup? I'm confused. I've definitely gotten ketchup sticks there. That's all I can remember for sure

[@tamcon72]

They exclude ketchup from the Big Mac sauce.

[@creampuff4721]

Dating but not mating LOL

[@jdoe8162]

Beyond meat looks exactly like beef, couldn't even tell it apart. Before y'all say that it's a vegan video, I didn't read the title.

[@ginsoakedgirl4]

Serious question, does anyone else get awful stomach cramps and the sh*ts from Impossible meat? I can only eat Beyond. I have no other GI issues whatsoever so it's confusing to me LOL

[@EchoJ]

I'm sorry, but I'm lmao at the "fast food exec chef" who is *mortified* by people using ketchup😲to make Big Mac sauce. Like, bruh... Just stop 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️🤣

[@lovelife2186]

Not the same

[@anonamouse9198]

Once a disappointment. 😢 It’s not that you grew bigger hands, shrink-flation has hit all of us, mostly in the pocket. Vegan BK Whopper is big, the McPlant in the UK, not so big 🤷🏻

[@Tyler_Skye77]

I can't STAND iceberg lettuce (white parts at least), it's just bitter barely chewable water. I absolutely HAVE to remove all the white iceberg lettuce from my stuff- and no one ever likes it enough to want it, although they SAY it's the best part (they'll eat anything else if I pick it off of food, they don't care about that). I think people just convince theirselves they like iceberg lettuce, when they really don't. Change my mind.

[@tamcon72]

You cannot make a Big Mac without it. Also, it's one of the least bitter lettuces due to its low chlorophyll content, so I don't know why it tastes unpleasant to you. Perhaps you're a supertaster.

[@Tyler_Skye77]

@@tamcon72 I think I do taste some things that most people don’t, so that might be a big part of it. To be clear, it’s the white part that’s bitter. I can eat the green parts (the darker, the better), but people seem to throw that part away or something, because stuff’s always loaded with the white hard parts of it that don’t have flavour other than _bitter._ It reminds me a bit of celery.

[@Tyler_Skye77]

@@tamcon72 I’m genuinely trying to understand what people see in it, btw. I just don’t get it at all. Why would people want to eat *_that_* part & not the tasty green bits?

[@tamcon72]

@@Tyler_Skye77 I'm actually not sure what you mean by white parts. It's a light green colored lettuce throughout. Are you outside the US, maybe, where head lettuce is grown differently? Where I am it's so bland, it's like the scent of cucumber in another room in solid form. But it works well on burgers because it's complemented by stronger flavors.

[@Tyler_Skye77]

@@tamcon72 No, I’m in the US. The butt of lettuce is white & it slowly fades to green. I’m talking about the parts close to the butt of the head. People always say that’s the only part of the (iceberg) lettuce they like, which blows my mind. Cucumbers, yes! It’s like the faint bitter chemical taste in cucumbers, but way stronger. I actually like cucumbers, but too much & it starts tasting to weird. Celery tastes sorta between the 2 (& is way too fibrous to chew).

[@UltimateSeduction]

Delicious, but I replaced the vegan burger for ground beef and the vegan cheese for red (bit more spicy) cheddar... ❤

For me, I'm not a vegan guy. So I'd go for Chef Mike's big mac sauce recipe (with the real stuff rather than the vegan stuff), but then add in the Great Value Whipped Butter, & the Kraft Miracle Whip Whipped Salad Dressing. 😂 (If doing it like that is wrong, then I don't want to be right!)

[@davidj.379]

if any part of a Big Mac is vegan, i'm not touching it, end of story. For those of you that do try it, all the power to you, it's just not my thing.

[@productivity.god29]

Agreed! But the recipe is still great since you can just swap the impossible meat for regular beef and still follow the recipe.

[@hendricarose849]
