[@shr00m7]

My only issue with this is that the Whopper is always marketed as a flame-broiled burger, so not the same as a diner/smash burger. But other than that- looks great. And fries are surprisingly hard to make from scratch AND improve on what you can get in the freezer aisle.

[@nikkimcdonald4562]

because they arent actually charbroiled they use a liquid smoke in the factory to give it that flavor

The end product looks incredible but I feel like this but better episode was not so much of a replicate the Burger King meal and improve but more of a “ here’s a burger and fries that taste better than Bk’s”. The fries were made using a recipe you have for McDonald’s fries and you didn’t flame broil the burger.

Hey Weissman, I just wanted to comment a humble thank you. You and your channel along with a few others managed to re-ignite my passion for cooking and creating dishes for people. I finally decided to go and work in a restaurant, and I've never been happier at a job before.

[@IRLTheGreatZarquon]

This will probably get buried, but I used to manage a BK. The one thing I always prided myself on was making burgers that looked like they do in the menu pics. I wasn't as fast as the guys who usually worked the board, but my sandwiches looked better and by default tasted better because I took a little extra time to make sure they came out right. If BK slowed down a little, their sandwiches would be so much better.

I keep on requesting this, but what do you think about a Jamba Juice 'But Better' episode? Jamba Juice was my childhood, and is what made me obsessed with smoothies to this day. :)

[@Nicoleth]

Might just be me coming from Australia, but Jamba Juice was like fruit- flavoured candy... didn’t even taste like blended fruits

[@JigglesMcRibs]

@@Nicoleth It really does, but that's probably because a lot of them use sherbet as one of the ingredients. You can get ones that are more your usual fruity smoothies still.

[@andrewbird57]

I grew up in the 1960s and my mother had a French fry cutter. It made really thick-cut sticks of potato that she would fry in Crisco in an electric skillet on the kitchen counter. We'd eat them with ketchup. I don't remember her freezing them first. I really liked them. I don't know if I had a restaurant fry until a McDonald's opened in our town a few blocks away in 1966. Everybody was excited to try their 15-cent hamburgers. I didn't think their French fries were as good as my mother's. A year or two later an A&W opened a few blocks in the other direction. I thought their French fries were better than McDonald's. And they had great root beer.

[@garettjohnson6978]

Hmmm. Does Josh have a series for video game/television food? I mean, wouldn't that be awesome to have Josh have another cookbook purely for stuff like the Cake N' Bacon cakes from Fairly Odd Parents, or maybe the 'strange bun' from Stardew Valley?

[@mermaid9587]

Double frying my french fries always gets them super crispy! no freezing needed.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

I know you made it your way, but I might have to disqualify you Joshua. You did not charbroil the burger patties which BK has been doing forever. Your burger might be amazing, but I respectfully don't think it can be called a BK Whopper without being charbroiled. I saw no open-flamed grill, you made a smash burger. Of course I'm joking, but sort of not really.

[@shawnmurphy8781]

Trying out the pickles recipe! Never done it before but I was inspired by the fact you made your own for the burger.

[@SamFromSpaceOfficial]

I got an ad for McDonalds just as Josh took a bite of the whopper and it made my day

[@Rich_ard]

I'm guessing one of the steps you changed with the McDonald's fry is a quick high temp fry before the freeze and a fry oil that will make the fries more crisp like beef tallow or peanut etc etc.
