White Castle is and has been the oldest continually operated burger chain in America since they opened in 1921. Very little has changed with regard to the sliders they make. I imagine a person from the 1920's would very much recognize the sliders they still sell today. That is pretty amazing really. I tried to keep this as authentic as possible with the exception of the mustard. White Castle uses Duesseldorf Mustard and that has Horseradish in it. Since horseradish would send me straight to the hospital I went with yellow mustard, sorry. Yes, this is NOT authentic but whatchagonnado? If you want to but the square burger rings I used to make the patties here is the link https://amzn.to/4aLWotg That is an Amazon Affiliates link and I do make a fraction of a penny if you buy them using the link.

Obviously, McDonald's Chicken McNuggets are a universally loved food item. What does it take to make them? I decided to find out the hard way by making a batch myself. Of course, you must have dipping sauces for this so I made the Sweet and Sour as well. That is WAY easier than you'd think and the recipe was a little tricky to come by. THERE IS NO MUSTARD IN THE SAUCE!!! Enjoy!

IN the mid 1990's McDonald's had a plan. They were going to "shift" their menu to a more adult audience. They hired chef Andrew Selvaggio and the Arch Deluxe was created. He also launched a more grown-up version of their chicken sandwich and the fillet-o-fish. Sure the price point was much higher but these were real sandwiches for people with jobs! Why wouldn't they buy it? I guess there were several reasons because this deluxe menu only lasted a couple of years. Now, it is just a distant memory and a cautionary tale. Know your customer and give them what they want...

Wendy's baconator is pretty much their most popular burger. With two 1/4-pound patties, tons of cheese and bacon, it's a titan! But will it burrito? Turns out yes, it will definitely burrito! I take it to the next level and chef up a couple of aspects of this modern classic to make the ultimate version of the baconator. Enjoy!

If you love onion rings as much as I do, you need to make these. I made this batch to go with the Carl's Jr Western Bacon Cheeseburger video I just released but these stand on their own. If you want a more traditional style breaded onion ring go with regular bread crumbs or cracker crumbs work great too. That is up to you. These techniques works great no matter what breading you use. Recipe is below and so is a link to the deep fryer I was using in the video. It is an Amazon Affiliates link so it helps support the channel a little as I do make a small amount off each purchase made using the link below. Enjoy!

Here is a bit of a more modern item from McDonalds but it was short lived and well liked. In the UK and other countries you will know it as the BigTasty.

I must confess, these onion rings are my kryptonite. They are soft and crispy. Light and airy yet so full of flavor. I really have only one secret, Old Bay seasoning. Add a teaspoon of that to the batter and prepare to be amazed! Chesapeake Bay Seasoning works great too, maybe better. Enjoy! Amazing Affiliates Link for the Deep Fryer shown in the video. I do make a little bit of money off the purchase of this item if you use this link to buy it. It does not cost you anything additional, it just helps the channel a little.

In the early 1990's Hardee's released the Frisco Burger. Their version of a patty melt. The 1/4 pound charbroiled patty, 2 slices of swiss cheese, tomato and bacon was served on a toasted sourdough bread. The sauce is a bit of a mystery. It may have just been mayonnaise or it could have been an onion mayo. I have heard rumors about the sauce but nothing definitive. I went with the onion mayo and it works well. This really could use some extra help though. The secret sauce from the Super Star/ Famous Star would be a great addition to this burger! Hope this video brings back fond memories of this classic menu item from the 1990's. Enjoy! Please share, subscribe and hit the like button if you enjoyed this episode.

Burger Chef is a very important chapter in the history of fast food. They innovated so many things, the flame broiler, combo meals, Happy Meals and the Big Mac. That list goes on and on but sadly, Burger Chef does not. They were bought out by Hardee's in 1982 and within a few years, all but one Burger Chef restaurant had closed their doors forever. This burger is a very important part of the history of the fast-food burgers. It deserves it's rightful place on the FF Burger Hall of Fame. Enjoy! Yes, I know all about the murders.

If you love the Bog Boy Burger and always wanted to know what the Red Relish was, this is the video for you. Ready for this? It's equal parts Ketchup, Chili Sauce and Sweet Pickle Relish. 1/3 of each and mix well.

Back in1936 Bob Wian would open Bob's Pantry and serve the first "Big Boy" burger. That burger would change the world. Inspiring those who followed and an entire generation to "Dream Bigger". OK, maybe it was just a burger but this is where the burger culture really took off and we have Bob to thank for that. Also, the Bob's Red Relish recipe is seriously hard t track down. There are plenty of copycat recipes out there but this is the one, the correct recipe.

Two guys took over Insta Burger King in the early 1950's and set out to take on McDonalds head-to-head. To do that they needed a special burger to wow the public. The Whopper was that burger.
