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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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! 😄👍🏻
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 👍👍🤤😀.
Its a shame Sam didnt even bother to comment on your video (its been 2 months). Awesome video ! Your doing a great job, Your recipes and videos are far superior to Sams (and im a fan of Sam's) keep up the great content !
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. :)
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Well, the burger look killer really good. A lot to go through to make a burger. I fell asleep watching your video though, and I can say I’ve never fell asleep, watching Sam’s videos.
You should redo the Bob’s Big Boy burger on this channel! I think your recipe of chili sauce and relish was the best for Bob”s red relish! I went to the Bob’s in Burbank and bought a container of red relish. So I compared it to your recipe and it was the exact same!
Just wondering why you have to increase the size to something that is too large to take a bite of in order to make "the best of" anything. Just look at the videos on RUclips, pretty much all the "best" food items are mainly made the best by increasing the size to ridiculous dimensions. This burger probably tastes good, but come on man (to quote a president, heh)
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.
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
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.
@@cwg73160 solid response in a calm, reasonable manner.. ive proved absolutely nothing of your point. 'Copycat' could be a catagorisation for the videos, y'know, so people can use keywords when searching. Stop acting like the entire world is using your definitions... champ
As i sit here watching the burgers fry and looking at my saltine crackers , i feel awful .... I think the only thing that could have made that better was seasoning with truffle salt...
Sup Greg, Happy Easter, awesome video, loved it, (RUclips kept freezing up🥵) 200 day dry aged🤯, never had but can only dream, don't worry that you have a smaller atomizer, I don't even have one 😂🤣, I saw sam's video, and made it better, but this I can't beat it lol. 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. I'll stop lol. My comments are already too long😂, sauce is great tho. Tyvm tc 🍔
I was using one of my old, "Ballistic Smashers" which is gauged off of the smasher used by "Smashburgers" restaurants. It's a little thicker than just using a spatula.
Personally, I don't like stacked burgers. It's like eating a Lasagna that has 80% cheese. Yeah I love cheese/meat, but too much of a good thing can ruin it. Also damn, I'm getting too old eating such a burger on my own.
@@BallisticBurgers Man.. you not keeping it together for that moment made me think you were high. And now I want to see you and Sam doing a collab after getting baked.
It's not the size of the atomizer that matters, it's how you use it! 🤣
I'll print that on a shirt!
It's the size of the bong hit.
You have to respect a guy who keeps fat trimmings for emergencies.
Ballistic is so modest just like the gun from men in black!
200-day dry-aged!!!! That is scary!
That burger was dripping! It looked too big, but I'd still eat it.
It's respect both ways when you both work on each other's recipe
I believe that Sam would love what you've done to honor his creation with some creative ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Classic Greg, you take an incredible burger and make it so much better.
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.
That would be cool! Thanks for watching my version of Sam's Best!
Totally agree!

I appreciate that! Cheers, Nick!
Sam and Ballistic make the best burgers on the net.
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!
LOL! Thanks for watching S.C.! I was laughing at myself when I edited this thing!
I love the burger channel, Greg! My God bless you and your family.
I think I would be fine with a two patty version
Sure miss the the Weber grill video's
Someone's on Sam's Nutz😄😄😄
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.
I hear that.
I love Ballastic Burgers 🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔
to see you break to laugh to urself was real it felt so geniune i loved it
These are so great. Sam's so fun to watch he's been going crazy with his burgers lately.
He's a pretty cool guy. Thanks for watching!
It's "smash month" or something like that over there.
@@mrmoshpotato yup. Smash month.
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! 😄👍🏻

that looks amazing!!! Sams was really good also!! both of them are perfect! Could you make a greek style burger Mr. Ballistic? 😃🍔
I love how Greg has gotten the "Today on Baliistic Burgers, I'm going to be making" down to less than a second. It's the Micro Machines guy.
Burger is way too big for me, but it’s not hard to you know, not use 4 pattys.
You and Sam should do a collab video!
I'd love to. Thanks PC!
Pellicle is the outside edge of a dry aged steak. Looks amazing Greg!
Thanks John! I was spacing out on the name!
I call it the pelican, although my local butcher is probably sick of me commenting on the pelican on his dry-aged steaks.
Really great looking burger and I love what you have done with it in your upgrade and I wouldn't hesitate to try it. Great job 👏💯
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.
You are killing me!!! "My Atomizer is a lot smaller then..." And cracking up
The atomizer part was pure gold lol
You are the world's foremost culinary authority on American burgers!
Please do a Panama City Beach Burger. Thanks!
That was pretty close. There was a joke in there somewhere. The burger looks awesome. Cheers, Greg! 👍👍✌️🍔
It's common knowledge that a 3 inch atomizer is plenty big enough
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.
Imagine being friends with you and Sam, oh what a glorious life that would be.
I was drooling on Sam's original video now I'm drooling all over again.
Thank you for checking mine out Chris!
My atomizer is a grower, not a shower.
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.
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?
Two patties was my first thought when I saw Sam's video.
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.
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.
While I appreciate a good meat mountain, no burger that completely lacks ANY form of veggies could ever earn the distinction of “best” in my book.
I love a good HARD SEAR on the Patties 🤙🏾🔥
Caught with the giggles 😂
Did I hear Astro barking back there?
all i got from t his video was the word sam

Better without pickles. Everything is.

I'm so glad you mentioned 2 patties - that is my gripe with the original idea.
Tell Sam he need to have a cook off now and then to compare his version with someone else's.
4.0, you should have cut it off the bone and into grind size strips before smoking. More surface area getting smoked.
You could be right. I was happy with the amount of smoke, so I'm good with it. Cheers, Christopher
