Secret Sauce SMASH Burgers | Makin’ It! | Brad Leone

It’s Brad Leone’s Super Smash Booger™️ feat. Brad Leone’s Just-Invented-World-Famous-But-Never-Heard-Of Secret Burger Sauce™️!!! This one is a simple… dare I say… perfect? grillin’ recipe for fall.
The ingredients can be swapped out for lots of different stuff, make it your own, have fun with it. Main thing here is technique:
- Slice them onions thin
- Add your black pep at the end right before you bun it - the black pep burns easily and can taste bitter if it sits on the flat top
- Get your mise en place ready (yeah I said it chef) so your hot fresh burger can go straight on the plate
- Add cheese right after you flip for optimal gooeyness
- Use beef tallow or animal fat for a good sear
- put ya beer or ya fizzy wourder in a colster so it doesn't get hot: www.yeti.com/drinkware/can-in...
Get you a Brad Leone surgical spatula from Lamson already! lamsonproducts.com/collection...
🍔 DIRECTIONS:
1. Put your burgerball on top of the onions
2. SMMMAAAASSSSHHHHH
3. Don’t mess wit it
4. flip it after 4-4.5 mins
5. lay the cheese on and cover for another 4 mins
🍔 INGREDIENTS:
Booger:
potato rolls
~85-90 gram 80/20 beef balls
little bit of beef tallow
thinly sliced white onion
wild ramps or lettuce - any greenery
bread & buttah pickles
american cheese sliced thin
a little salt
a little black pep
Beef tallow or other animal fat for the grill
🍔 Secret Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise - Hellmann’s or bust (or dukes or homemade)
just a stoche (about a tbsp) of dijon mustard
japanese bbq sauce - I like Bachan’s
about that much black pepper
little pinchy pinch of salt
thinly sliced and chopped ramp bulb or green onion bulb
pinch of crushed red pep flakes - I like maras biberi
🍔 Gear:
Flat top grill if you got it, or a cast iron skillet
Some surgical-sharp-spatulas

Fermentation station needs to make a comeback

[@user-ev1eq6qx2p]

Choo choo

[@bradleone]

We’ll get there ❤

[@liquidsilver82]

This whole damn place is a fermentation station. 🥒

[@garretwitterholt5842]

Choo choo

[@liquidsilver82]

@joeydips3926 Joey, this is a farm. Say it with me, FARM. Where the vegetables come out of the ground and hands are allowed to have a little dirt under the fingernails. Your comment history shows that we should probably just ignore you, so have a great day friend 👋🏻

[@kittawa]

Beyond stoked to have this awesome positive Brad energy back on KZbin. Been really digging your channel and the content you're putting out! Your older content on that other channel was a mainstay for me during the pandemic, a bright spot for sure! I'm so excited to have new stuff to brighten my mornings!!

[@airmax899]

Found all of his content during the pandemic too. Just some of the best shit out there.

[@wadball]

I hereby third this sentiment

[@NicoleMcGuey]

Brad's hilarious on his own but it's the editing for me lmao the little inserts in the editing take it over the top 😂 love it ❤

[@wilsonfree9137]

Brads high energy and laidback style of cooking makes me want to get into the kitchen and cook for my loved ones more than anybody on this platform. Thanks for the awesome content for years Brad!

[@ImJKJoker]

Brad's energy is unmatched. It's amazing!

[@ianbartram2118]

Watching this as an Ian is fantastic. Feels like Brad is yelling right at me, which is somehow nice.

[@alden3105]

Watched this vid, grabbed the ingredients, and made it for my wife; she absolutely loved it! This was a big win, big thanks Brad!

[@Iisakkiik]

It's so fun and satisfying when you experiment with stuff and it ends up awesome! Following a recipe is cool and all, but nothing beats the feeling of coming up with something yourself.

[@petecolombo]

So glad to hear the iconic hold music during the “is a hamburger a sandwich?” segment.

[@Duspende]

Perfect timing. Cooking a lasagna right now, and it takes a while in the oven. Nothing better than watching some good ol' Brad Leone while it bakes!

[@n0pamine]

I haven't seen Brad in at least a year or two and now that I've found him again I realize how much I missed his energy

[@brandonkim3183]

Brad I love these videos! Easy to make, simple recipes, creative, and a crowd pleaser! It reminds me of your killer Charred Tomato Toast from Bon Appetite. Would love to see more backyard kick-back meals! Killer hotdog combo, easy to make sides, simple ingredient meals with a sprinkle of creativity that makes the crowd jaw DROP! Keep up the great work buddy!

[@kdg8076]

I love how Brad went through the proper way to layer burger, made sure to tell us not too much sauce on the top. Then when he eats it he flips it 360 and goes for the upside down bite. You cant beat this man.

[@MrsAwesomeee]

I‘m a big garlic-guy….you don’t say Brad?! 😂😂 Remembering the „one-clove-a-day routine“

[@WhitefoxSpace]

"I'm not much of a weighing my balls kinda guy--" don't lie to us Brad you know exactly!

[@Shandyg4]

"look at the big brains on Brad" i love it..

[@cherylpurtell9439]

Love being able to watch your content again. Excited to see this!

[@nmc9929]

1. Great simple yummy burger. 2. Love the design of the kitchen. 3. Imagine Brad on speed 😂

[@OfficialHavocOsiris]

The more things change from fermentation station to ingredient shrine, the more our Brad and his burger values (which you have to respect) stay the same.

[@whatwouldtarado213]

The melding of the Hamburglur and Wimpy from Popeye was *chefs kiss*. 🤣

[@cpmow831]

He’s such a goofball. He was why I watched the Bon Appetit channel

[@spencerjteal]

Loving the Field Notes cookbook! great video, keep it up!

[@kristencooper5129]

Love your show. Herman's mayo really? True Dukes Mayo. Southern favorite!

[@nunyabusiness1233]

Im so happy to see Brad again!

[@AdamNauman123]

Brad you need to show people (me) how you make beef tallow at home. Assuming you make it yourself. I’m sure it’s not difficult and I’m sure there’s plenty of videos out there but I promise no will is as fun to watch as you and your crew. You guys rock!!

[@christianp3674]

Love this show, can’t wait for more! Recently subscribed! Seeing Brad going off the rails is phenomenal.

[@ian2057]

"check out the big brains on brad" Brad making pulp fiction references will put a smile on my face till the day i die

[@GiiCintra]

I always wanted to learn how to make a smash burguer! Loving it! ❤

[@rebeccaammon9072]

This dude brings me so much joy. Thank you brad

[@loudd]

3 years later and still waiting for you and Matty to go tuna fishing....

[@allentastic]

After noodling I don’t think he’ll ever rope him in again 😂

[@loudd]

@@allentastic no beaver holes on the boat though lol

[@seanoreilly1832]

Forgot how much I missed Brad! Awesome!

[@ShannonAndy]

Looks so damn good. So easy too! Love the simplicity. Might have to give this one a go before the official end of summer up here in Massachusetts

[@alexanderattridge6898]

Fuckiny pissing it down in london, train was delayed for 40 minutes, and my umbrellais broken. But now i get to sit down and watch beautiful bit of brad.

[@kelliott1333]

These look amazing! No one has ever surprised me with a smash burger either…think I would love that! 😊

[@jox4mohya]

That Screenshot heads up for the recipe was 💯

[@robertferrier9536]

Love the content Brad. I’ve found you get a good crispy sear on your patty if you do onions on top of the beef. To each their own.❤

[@MCCENTx2]

Yep, I would not consider this a traditional smash burger. The onions will release water and steam the burger instead of crisping it. I actually prefer the way Brad is doing it. Like he said. cook it like you want to do it.

[@PaigeDWinter]

In Bradland, Wimpy became the Hamburglar and I'm ok with this being canon.

[@adrenazanetti3660]

Love this !yummy!

[@lightfighter540]

More content, Please ! What about your riff on a chopped cheese with maybe some lacto-fermented onions ? That sounds delish.

[@madi_oh]

i am so in love with your kitchen

[@amifterbifty]

6mins in and I subscribed. This channel deserves to be much bigger and I believe it will be.

[@user-ct5cg7dz5m]

No double patty - bold choice Mr. Leone. Love the new channel!. Forgot how much I missed Brad! Awesome!.

[@future.cadaver]

Love the ramps here, Brad. Good call!

[@vitaly6312]

Onion smash burgers are my favorite things to cook. I do it slightly differently and I put down my meat ball first, then cover it with thin onion and then press. I find that it’s one of those perfect things that doesn’t really even need sauce. Just a pickle and it’s perfect. Although that’s not a critique whatsoever. As someone who also enjoys a thick burger with sauces and toppings, these bad boys are simple and perfect. They’re actually perfect.

[@rjptrucking4598]

Your giving me my fix on burgers ty

[@Qkotoime]

I can't get enough of Brad's energy, but his video editor is Top G!

[@Druggid]

No double patty - bold choice Mr. Leone. Love the new channel!

[@DougBillian]

"That's how we're meant to live." YES!!

[@RacoonsAreJustForbiddenCats]

“I’m going to consume you…” can you imagine being locked in a windowless basement hearing that from someone with Brad’s positivity 😂

[@yooperdog]

We love our wild leeks, we also eat the tops like spinach cooked down. We also pickle them.

[@colinnewman1227]

A Brad Leone cioppino or bouillabaisse or seafood chowder would be amazing to see!

[@4evrfierce]

Love the channel Brad leone keep on cooking up the content

[@danaewright1069]

oh, brad!! picture perfect burger and now i need one👻🖤

[@jkroiss]

I love your videos keep it up

[@Verlisify]

Brad going "Peggy is inside. Peggy is my wife" while looking back at the camera is Top 5 Golden Retriever moments

[@Verlisify]

Brad's live experimentation is real and reassuring

[@johncarper9422]

Brad Leone is my spirit animal

[@JamesChurchill3]

That clip of Opus No.1 just gave me IT Helpdesk flashbacks.

[@cgault11]

Ctrl+f for the Opus#1 comment. cheers!

[@PrettyBoyKii]

I LOVE Japanese BBQ sauce on my fried eggs with a little chili oil over rice for breakfast. It's even better with some Sriracha mayo, I swear it's amazing

[@chandlerkrampe566]

We need a tuna salad recipe from the king.

[@joeydips3926]

tuna salad made by a guy with filthy hands.

[@virginiaf.5764]

Yes ... and hopefully his hands will be dirty while he makes it.

[@minchkin77]

love it!

[@briankelly434]

Great energy and editing. Looking forward to see what you put out with Buenolife.

[@REwind009]

Awesome editing!

[@catherinethecarnivorern8333]

Revisit restorative farm with the buffalo please, also some wild game recipes would be awesome!

[@user-vp7wt1xe5d]

hey brad... keep up the good work... 🙂

[@jdgonzo1982]

i'd like to see how you'd build/make a nice meat pie like Steak and Stilton...or Ham Hock and Leek...or however Brad would make a pie...i like pies :)

[@cmacski4066]

Hell yeah about the Land O’Lakes yellow, sliced thin! Best American cheese by far - although Cooper Super Sharp American is also top notch! Also, Land O’Lakes is by far the best cheese on a Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese!

[@Daniel-bt7be]

Brad!! Loving the channel as much or better than anything you did with BA bud!

[@lifeofbryan121]

Already love the video, didn’t see a brochure bun. 😂

[@ELF09_lpsolid]

Darn, that must be it. I've been putting the pepper on too soon that it burns. I'm freakin puzzled why the patties have that bitterness. To think I've been missing something that simple 😆Thanks my guy!

[@stephaniemoore-fuller9082]

Now that it's September and the tomatoes and peppers and eggplant are in season, I'd love to see your version of ratatouille!

[@ryot340]

Followed Brad over multiple channels for a while now & we must sound the same cause anytime he says "hey Siri" my phone responds, LOL, keep it comin' =)

[@c.a.7272]

The Ingredient Shrine definitely needs to grow! I would join the cult of Brad 🙏🏽

[@sakuraiblossom128]

we love you brad! ❤️

[@seraphale]

I don't like bread and butter pickles, but I can see myself enjoying this. I bet the contrasts are lovely.

[@ayewhy]

you stay gold. my friend.

[@1958Gpa]

Great video! How about making some Philadelphia Pepper Pot Soup.

[@FoieGwa]

6:06 Some old.time.hawkey vibe. There you go, buddy.

[@twelevensies]

Brad + pickles = 💚🔥💚

[@TheWhapow]

Brad! Please do a recipe using Pork Tenderloin! It's my favorite cut and I cook it well. I wanna see what your ideas are. :)

[@markanthmore]

Had no idea Brad has his own channel. Very exciting.

[@CanCountToFour]

Brad meditates to the Halo theme yeah! Also how did I not know you had a channel until now. Let’s go!

[@itsinternet5768]

1:22 that’s the hold music for my job. How dare you make me think about work on my day off!

[@vinnybag-o-donuts4362]

Brad I go hard with ramps in the Hudson Valley. Pickle those ramps and don't rush it.....hit that mayo with some lemon and red wine.....my dude. I make gourmet burgers everyday on the line, I would never steer another "chef" wrong my friend ❤

[@lockguy2652]

Our Kroger started selling that Japanese bbq sauce. My son loves it.

[@adeadcrab]

very cool Brad

[@Ritzer168]

1:19 as a person who worked with Cisco phones, that hold music is ingrained into my soul. Still though, great burgers mate!

[@adrenazanetti3660]

I add Old Bay seasoning to everything too just a dash though cuz it is spicy like caribbean spicy!

[@caitlinxxx7016]

Bob Ross of cooking

[@kevinjohnston4923]

Kissing the bun with some heat is a small touch that takes a burger to the next level. (Especially with some of that tallow on the griddle!)

[@jojobeanyetta9445]

I’m loving this channel. Peggy is a very lucky lady is all I’m going to say.

[@jessthoma2803]

Oh yeah, I *love* using a drywall mud knife in the kitchen... Home Depot is my favorite grocery store.

[@diggity1039]

Hey Brad!! I love your Morel candle and the base you put it on. Where can I get them?

[@GregCurtin45]

Thank you #Yeti for sponsoring this video. Love your lunchboxes! I really like the smash burgers made with the onions on the bottom. That is how I do it but with one difference. I do the smashing on the counter before it hits the grill so that I don't dry out the meat. Thanks to everyone involved with the production of this video.

[@TeddymanYT]

He's mashin it

[@Rondze]

Grew up eating Albondigas but have never made so would like to see you twist on it. Also some type of shrimp soup! Maybe a shrimp albondigas style soup

[@whiskeychicken]

Be like Brad. Be rad.

[@Jeremycook_]

I believe the eating a burger today and pay you Tuesday qoute was Wimpy from the Popeye cartoon. Yhe hamburgerler was never gonna pay you lol

[@m4cgr3g0r9]

I wish the Kenji-Brad Hinge top salt container could make its way to my kitchen!

[@benjamincarter3917]

Tad touch of pickle juice in that sauce woulda been noice too!
