Sam The Cooking Guy's Best Burger v3.0 But Better! | Smash Burger | Copycat

[@americanboy9554]

That burger was dripping! It looked too big, but I'd still eat it.

[@bradg1440]

It's not the size of the atomizer that matters, it's how you use it! 🤣

[@BallisticBurgers]

I'll print that on a shirt!

[@63ah1275]

It's the size of the bong hit.

[@63ah1275]

You have to respect a guy who keeps fat trimmings for emergencies.

[@christianhansen3292]

Ballistic is so modest just like the gun from men in black!

[@SmokedReb]

Classic Greg, you take an incredible burger and make it so much better.

[@LumberjackPa]

I believe that Sam would love what you've done to honor his creation with some creative ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@tossedsalad5532]

It's respect both ways when you both work on each other's recipe

[@jasont.2222]

I love the burger channel, Greg! My God bless you and your family.

[@EverydayBBQ]

Well… one thing that isn’t “tiny” is that burger! Lol 😂. It reminds me of my 4 patty 1 pound smash burger 🍔 I did only as usual yours is much more thought out and better executed 😂. Happy Easter to you and the family, brother!

[@nmchale99]

You’re the man, Greg! It’s always a good day when you make a new burger- genuinely stoked!

[@BallisticBurgers]

I appreciate that! Cheers, Nick!

[@StylewizeTV]

That was a killer burger!!! I have never had Dry Aged Beef that long. I bet it was loaded with flavor!! The Atomizer thing, I about fell on the floor laughing, and the more you laughed the harder I laughed!! GREAT VIDEO as always!

[@BallisticBurgers]

LOL! Thanks for watching S.C.! I was laughing at myself when I edited this thing!

[@BabyBackManiac]

I'm told that Chuck Norris's atomizer is so big that it has it's own atomizer...and that atomizer is still bigger than yours.

[@horrorfan24]

You and Sam need to do a cook together. That would be amazing to see you two swapping ideas. Additionally, with all that 'funk' I'd be worried about it being safe to eat. Great video, as always.

[@BallisticBurgers]

That would be cool! Thanks for watching my version of Sam's Best!

[@hellonheels91069]

Totally agree!

[@emartin787]

Please do, Greg! That would be awesome!

[@andrewpatterson9042]

Two great north county San Diego cooks coming together - I would LOVE to see that. Not just as a one-off, but as a periodic collaboration. I’m a huge STCG fan. He’s a great guy, and I’m sure he’s more than thrilled that you’re taking one of his burgers and developing it further. Thanks for the great video!

These are so great. Sam's so fun to watch he's been going crazy with his burgers lately.

[@BallisticBurgers]

He's a pretty cool guy. Thanks for watching!

[@mrmoshpotato]

It's "smash month" or something like that over there.

[@traviswalker8933]

​@@mrmoshpotato yup. Smash month.

[@Bigheadedwon]

I've made 1 of Sam's burgers and it was excellent. He's a legit chef and even has a burger spot in SD. *I think* But as good as Sam is, I've made 4 of Greg's burgers and there's nobody better. Strong mention to Guga, his burger and bun recipe makes a fantastic burger. IMHO The best comb's any one of Greg's burgers with Joshua Weissmans burger bun recipe for the buns.

[@Eveseptir]

The rain of juices pouring off that badboy. I'm all about that funk too. I wonder how much a burger like this would cost? At least 100$ I'm certain but maybe much more. I want it so bad.

[@venom5809]

Imagine being friends with you and Sam, oh what a glorious life that would be.

[@jackandkayak]

For inspiration… the best burger I’ve ever had was from Jake’s Burgers and Beer in Frisco, TX. ‘The Works’ burger, with hickory sauce. Nothing out of the ordinary with the toppings. But, by far, the most delicious burger I’ve ever had. An insane menu, and monthly specialty burgers to boot - hatch green chili burger, Santa Fe burger, etc. The next time you’re in the Dallas area, I would highly recommend for inspiration. They’d give you 20 concept burgers at least. Cheers, and love the channel.

[@emartin787]

Great video! I watch both you and STCG religiously. Two great channels! You guys should do a burger challenge. And I agree about 4 patties... overkill! Two is perfect. Or one. :)

[@malsadi101]

Really entertaining video Greg I enjoyed watching a lot! 😄 I would add 1 or maybe 2 pates as well… and maybe some iceberg lettuce would be nice yeah! I always look forward for the next content! 😄👍🏻

[@BallisticBurgers]

Yup! Two is the max this umami bomb needed! Thanks Mohammed!

This goes for any recipe anyone tries to replicate: If you don’t intend to stay true to a recipe or dish in every single way, you are not making THAT recipe or dish. You’re making your own version. If someone says they’re making KFC Original Recipe chicken but better, they’re just making fried chicken, You made a burger in this video.

[@therukshuka3616]

It is what was stated in the title champ.. if we went with your logic most of these vids would be titled "burger number x" which is far less descriptive of what the vids about

[@cwg73160]

Hey, cHaMp. It wasn’t what was stated in the title, cHaMp. Saying something is a copycat but better is a contradiction, cHaMp. If you made a burger with ketchup, mustard, onions, and pickles, would you call it a Quarter Pounder, cHaMp? No, cHaMp. Thank you for making my point about the title for me, cHaMp. Be better at life, cHaMp.

I've been thinking about this for some while... Why not cold smoke your beef of choice before or after grinding? There's really no need to use heat to introduce a good smoke flavor.

Please let me know if I'm wrong.

Pellicle is the outside edge of a dry aged steak. Looks amazing Greg!

[@BallisticBurgers]

Thanks John! I was spacing out on the name!

[@greybeard27]

I call it the pelican, although my local butcher is probably sick of me commenting on the pelican on his dry-aged steaks.

[@latigomorgan]

If I ever imagined what a $100 burger looks like, there it is! Watching this gave me an idea, though. I love smash burgers, but I miss the smokiness of flame broiled. What if I make my meatballs, then cold smoke them using a pellet tube or maze smoker for 20-30 minutes before putting them on the griddle? Perhaps chill the meatballs before putting them on the cold smoker?

[@thegeekchef5278]

love the burger idea. Love that you went out and tried, and improve it. Cooking would be sticks over a fire with a chunk of meat, if not for trying to improve what we eat. I would love 2 patties with some crispy fried onions in the center.

[@ahqasrawi]

I do really appreciate everything you do on both of your channels! Everything you do is amazing. I do have a request? Can you please recreate Drakes’s BBQ Burger? This is a delicious burger that Drakes makes in multiple locations and has bacon, crispy onions, and Honey Jalapeño BBQ sauce.

I'd love to. Thanks PC!

[@dustydustydusty]

Call me nuts. I like to add a little cracked pepper on top of freshly melted cheese right before assembly. Looks like an awesome burger.

[@tayzer22]

I love texture in my food, and that looks like plenty of crispidy, crunchedy texture on a nicely toasted bun with a soft center. To eat: cut it in half and start at the pointy end. Works like a charm.

[@leedoss6905]

I hear that.

In regards to the idea that people might be thinking you're just stealing or reusing ideas from another creator....isn't that the point? All of us exchanging ideas and making things better. It's how we advance.

[@georgecooper8710]

I like your channel and have learned a lot. I would like for you to recreate Dairy Queens "Flame Thrower" burger. That's one of my favorites.

[@GregSzarama]

What brand of siracha did you use?

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That was pretty close. There was a joke in there somewhere. The burger looks awesome. Cheers, Greg! 👍👍✌️🍔

[@etherdog]

Greg, I don't often comment, but I watch every video!

[@virionspiral]

Japanese mayo like Kewpie isn't so good because of MSG, but that it's made with a higher percentage of egg yolks. Though I'm sure MSG helps.

[@Spodie001]

But Greg is using the U.S. version of Kewpie which does not have MSG. The Japanese version has different packaging, less water, yolks only - and MSG. It tastes far superior than the U.S. version.

[@ichbinkyle]

Looks great man! I definitely would’ve just done a double though. Or just two singles🤷‍♂️ Messing up the funky ribeye with pickles, lettuce, and onion, might be a travesty. But I’m a controversial guy I guess. Maybe I just wouldn’t age it and just use the smoker and sauce on a fresh ribeye. Either way dude, I’ve become a fan of your videos more recently, and I appreciate the work you guys do!

[@johndavis7944]

To arouse my curiosity even more, I dry aged this video for almost 4 weeks before watching it. That's a huge process for one burger. I'll order now, so I know it'll be ready by Christmas! By that time I would've dry aged another 200 days myself. I'll need a spritz or two from that penlight atomiser to freshen up before sitting down to this burger... In the meantime, I'm going to watch an entire housing estate being raised and I'm sure the construction guys n gals would love a slice of this burger action. Cheers Greg 👍👍🤤😀.

4.0, you should have cut it off the bone and into grind size strips before smoking. More surface area getting smoked.

I watched Sam since was on TV, he used to say 'hope this inspires you', which you also mentioned in a video 👊, MSG I did a thesis on lol, no allergy actually exists lol, it's in everyday food naturally, it's too much msg can effect anyone, body needs msg to live.
