Does Deanna know Red Robin? It's a burger restaurant chain that's a sit-down place that specializes in burgers. I love their black and blue burger and I add mushrooms to it. It has blue cheese and black pepper on it. I think it runs about $10 and comes w/ unlimited fries.
Fun Facts: Usually the Restaurants Peter Pane und Hans im Glück started as Hans im Glück! Then in 2015 the biggest and only franchise owner got in trouble with the founder of Hans im Glück. The franchise Restraurants were bought by the francise company und were named "Peter Pane" ! Peter Pane was more in north Germany and Hans im Glück was more located in the south of Gemany. Till 2020 both Restaurants had nearly the same or at least very similar Burgers. They still had nearly the same concept. Then in 2020 the Original founder of Hans im Glück who had started all this, sold his company completely to the BackWerk founders ( big Bakery Chain) since then the quality of Hans im Glück Burgers went down extremly!
Another fun fact: The owner of Peter Pane, previously franchisee of HiG, is member of a baker family who own a large bakery chain in Northern Germany (Junge), where they also buy their bread from.
So funny I was in Germany a month ago and got addicted to cafe and kochen because of your recommendations. Now watching you the Peter Pan restaurant looked familiar so I opened google Maps and indeed I ate there in Dresden. I usually do not like French fries but I loved Germany pomes also when we bought them on the street. I loved the vibe of Leipzig and the zoo there is very special. Will see your Netherlands recommendation before I go there. Thank you
Morgen!!!! I think home burgers are always better because you can season them they way you like them. I like to chop onions and infuse them in the patty before grilling, along with black pepper! Enjoy your weekend! - Chuck
The "ZDF Besseresser" have done a video about Hans im Glück, you can have a look if you search for: Hans haut raus: Brisante Burger, uralte Dips und beeinflusste Bestellungen | Insider packt aus The guy there also said that the atmoshpere is what you pay for (it's really expensive) and not the quality of the burger (though they beat McD of course, would be bad if not)
I'm in US, & I think that is expensive for a burger. I'm with you, I make better burgers @ home. I make a lot of food better @ home, rarely eat out, b/c we're disappointed usually.
Extra points for the "Edeka" reference. Had one right across the street in my village. Many hungover Saturday mornings cured with Edeka fleischsalat, brotchen, and Coke.
The food always looks delicious in Germany. I would have absolutely no problem eating in Germany, I especially love the traditional German food. 👍🏻👍🏻♥️🇺🇸🙏🏻
I agree that the prices are high. Premium prices seem more than what you’d expect to get. I went to Hans In Gluck and was impressed with their fries, but not their burger. 3 places in Frankfurt I liked was Der Fette Bulle (more than one location), Heroes Burgers and What’s Beef. If you make it to Frankfurt, these 3 burgers impressed this American. If you make it to the U.S. and want to try my pick for best burger, head to San Diego and go to Hodad’s (2 locations + at the stadium).
Oh, that's fun and I thought we have the only theme restaurant,called. Egon. Named after the movies series. In Germany the danishversion was more known but , of course, we have our Norwegian version as well😀
We have two local burger chains in the Esslingen/Stuttgart/Waiblingen area that make really good burgers at fair prices. Pit's Burgers und Pop's Burgers. 😋🤤
I love the quality of your reviews nowadays. Have always enjoyed the travel and food aspects and the interactions between the two of you. But recently the analyses of different foods had been outstanding and very informative. You’re up there with the very best. Keep travelling and keep eating.
Interestingly, according to the online menues, the burgers of Hans im Glück are basicly around 1 to 2 Euros cheaper at the location in the Medienhafen than at the Kö-Bogen.
Seems expensive $$ for what you get. I'm in Austin, TX and we have a fancy burger place called Hopdoddy's. The quality is excellent with creative toppings. Their burgers start at US$8.75 up to $15.50 for the fanciest. I never thought of it as a bargain until now 😊 If I don't want to spend so much though we also just go to Five Guys of course! Or local P.Terry's. Interesting topic, really enjoyed seeing the burger offerings in Germany.
A BigMac menu here in Sweden is 89 Swedish Kronor, and other fast food chains are around that price or just above. The best burger chain we have is a fast food chain called MAX and they're a little bit more expensive than McDonald's but damn they're good! I personally choose MAX over fancier places even if having a burger, just because it's so good and more affordable. A burger menu at fancier places can easily cost 150 Swedish kronor or more. Upon checking the exchange rate, €1 is currently 12,62 Swedish kronor
I’m originally from NYC where the prices you paid were kind of normal. But I’ve been living in Florida for a few years, and a premium Angus restaurant burger (cheese and bacon) with fries is absolutely under $15.00. Love your videos! My grandpa was from Dierdorf, very near where you are in Düsseldorf!
Hi. It, s where you are in Germany.. In Metropole City, s (Muninch, Colone, Düsseldorf..) prices are higher, than the Rest of the country... And, Peter Pane,, is expensive We got one here in my hometown. Kiel. /try to watch :"Kieler Woche-von Kiel in die Welt" (we got a huge City Festival here in june, 4 Mio. Visiters..) normal price for a burger about 8 - 9$
My favorite burger here in the Hilton Head area is $19.25. Crazy. It's a black and bleu burger from Charbar. And wings? They're charging up to $2 per wing here and they look like pigeon wings. We make a lot of our favorites at home.
All Burgers looked very nice. But the prices are outrageous. Even the last one being the cheapest at €10 wants me to shout 'Who do you think you are?'😂🤦 I pay €6 for a top-notch Yufka with Schafskäse at my local Turkish cornerstone. I'm a bit flabbergasted about how these Burgerjoints justify these prices. And btw, putting crisps into a sandwich of any sort should be considered a felony, 3 to 5 mandatory😂😂❤ Love your videos, keep them coming😘
i think for germany the prices are high, but here in the Atlanta area, and we have good food in atlanta, that would be a normal price for a restaurant burger. Black angus is almost always worth the upgrade, good cheese, always bacon. Fries are usually good but not to german standard. salads basically always suck in the US.
If I am near a bigger city in Germany next month I will have to look for a Peter Pan store. I doubt there are any burger chains in the rural area I will be staying in. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
i think the german premium burger experience is quite similar to the US premium burger experience. Here in Atlanta i like BurgerFi for a premium takeout burger. they also do vegan and veggie. for fast food: Culvers.
If you get charged such prices (from the 1st and 2nd restaurant), you shouldn't be served frozen burger patties. I would only expect freshly made burgers at these price range.
Nice gentle BurgerTestingEntertainment, with a nicle couple, Subtitles in ComicStyle are very welcome !❤🔥 Beef, (fried)Cheese, Fries -> perfect for the middle of a party, when the "SuffHunger" kicks (hunger caused of a lot of Beer / alcohol)...
Hey guys! Love watching your stuff! I'm curious though - you seem to label burgers like 5 Guys or McDonald's as "American" burgers. The real, and best, American burgers are the ones that make their own patties from scratch on-site. Would love to show you some places if you're ever in the New York/New Jersey area!!
Living in San Francisco the prices are just as crazy, plus the burger is at least a third smaller than what you had there. Imho, they are definitely overpriced. Thanks Phil and Deana, always a pleasure.
I'm from the Netherlands and I was in San Francisco in June. I've been to the most well known burgerplace there In 'n Out burger, but I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted very nice, sometimes I think the lettuce is to massive, but there it was the right amount of everything. It was hella busy, nonetheless very kind employees. I'd go there again for a fast burger. It didn't taste like unhealthy fastfood😊
@bkm2797 wow really? I didn't know that. Here in my city in the Netherlands, we have a few. But I prefer homemade mostly. I wish they had in 'n out here, we used to have Five Guys, but covid19 ended that. It's still in a city near me. So next month or in October I will go there and get one. Their burgers are not very healthy but soooo good. In 'n Out burgers are more healthy
I've only eaten at the Hans im Glueck in Bonn back in 2018. We liked the ambiance of the restaurant (some privacy from the birch trees). It wasn't too loud like the one you visited. We had basic cheeseburgers with typical toppings.... nothing unusual. They were fine. Not the best, but not bad. I just with the US had some nicer burger restaurants that weren't our typical chains (from McD's to Five Guys)... just a nicer interior and vibe from what we're use to here.
Hey Deana and Phil, i don‘t live in Düsseldorf anymore, but for me the best burger were WHATS BEEF and BOB & MARY (approximately 6 years ago). This Restaurants were no Chains back in the days but i think they are available in a few towns now. Maybe you know them already. Greetings🤘🏻
We do like Bob & Mary for a nice sit down burger! We haven't tried What's Beef, but we see it often! Any burger recommendations there? The pictures always look good!
Kommt nach Oberhausen. Wir haben hier einige Burgerchains (auch Peter Pane, jedoch haben wir bessere). Im Vergleich zu den gefrorenen Patties bei Peter Pane gib’s hier frische/medium Patties bei Burger Nerds oder bei Piwys Burger. Könnt ihr bestimmt mit einem Besuch im Centro (eins der größten Einkaufszentren in Deutschland) verbinden 😊👍🏻
If you two go back to South Carolina to visit, you really should drive up to Landrum and go to the Hare and Hound for burgers and fries. My favorite is the Hen House burger. My husband really liked the sweet potato fries. My really favorite thing about this restaurant was that we could sit outside and bring our dog. It seemed like everyone on the staff liked German Shepherds and came by to pet our guy. They brought him a water dish with water and ice and some strips of bacon! Nice people, nice food.
You just reminded me of, that once I was in Peter Pann restaurant in Braumschweig, we had a dinner with our German colleagues and it was fantastic. Also it was a good test for German knowledge. :D
I tend to make my own burgers as it is difficult to find really good burgers at restaurants. My preference is a 1/2 pound patty, cheese - usually a mix of Swiss, muenster, and provolone, two strips of bacon, crisp lettuce, (NO tomato, I hate tomatoes), and sliced red onion. If fresh jalapeno's are available, I will definitely add them. I will put horseradish mayo, mustard, barbeque sauce, and sweet pickle relish (or substitute pickle slices) on it as well. I will use a toasted homemade pretzel bun or store bought brioche bun if I run out of pretzel buns. The beef patty is seasoned with salt, pepper, and some garlic powder and the burger is grilled with butter generously applied during cooking. I will frequently grate various cheeses together and blend the grated cheese with the burger meat. Sometimes I will make a small "pouch" in the middle of the patty and fill it with the cheese blend (this can be done "on the fly" when making burgers to order). Makes for a very cheesy and juicy burger. When guests come over for burgers, the basic choice is a burger with no cheese or toppings and a choice of buns. The guests are free to add anything they wish. I NEVER offer "veggie burgers" as it is my firm belief that a burger is beef and only beef, vegetable patties are not "hamburgers". If I can find a restaurant that has decent burgers on the menu, I will give them a try, but don't like paying more than $10 - $12 for the burger. I have had a nice burger at a local restaurant in Germany (Bavaria), but it wasn't "premium" nor did they charge a premium price for it (I think it was 8 EUR).
Y’all know I’m a burger person! That first burger looked great! So 2 of my favorite burgers in Texas so far cost $12 for just the burger. At both of these places we each order our own burger and then we will split an order of fries which costs extra. Idk if I’d call them “premium” burgers. But they’re pretty close! They are sit down restaurants with decent atmospheres. I’ve definitely paid up to $18+ for a burger at like a nice steakhouse or something. But that $10-$15 range seems to be the going rate for a good, quality burger.
Never saw Peter Pane before, but when I heard the intro of the video I thought of something like Burger Brothers, Hans im Glück, and my mind was unsure if there is a 3rd option so I thought of Kochlöffel but Kochlöffel looks more like a burger place for cheap stuff 20 years ago xD
Hello Deanna and Phil. Thanks for the in-depth review of the premium burger joints in Germany. Looks like Germany is really giving the U.S. a "run for its money." I'm planning on returning to Germany for another vacation next summer and I am looking forward to trying all three of these new burger places. Of the three that you reviewed, I'm voting for Burger Me as being the most "Guenstig" in terms of value. I also like the visual appeal and it definitely looked fresh and juicy. Of course, I also was impressed with the other two choices; Peter Pane and Hans im Glueck. Your cheese donuts reminded me of the fried cheese curds popular here in the Midwest and Northern Plains. Long time subscriber here and I enjoy your vlogs and content. I rarely comment, but this video got my interest piqued. Enjoy your weekend and Schoene Gruesse aus North Dakota.
Burgers in Germany? I just came back from a 2 week adventure in Germany with my 14 year old granddaughter, she absolutely positively loved the Thuringer and Bavarian bratwurst. Any idea where I can find such quality sausages here in the Chicago area?
The Thuringian sausage is one of Deana's favorite German sausages. I've never been to Chicago, so not sure where a good one would be. Maybe someone here is from Chicago and would know?
Look in your local grocery for wursts from Usinger. They are out of Milwaukee, but in many Chicago stores. In Schaumburg, I know Valli Produce and Tony’s Fresh Market carry Usinger. My wife is from Germany and likes Usinger. She is particular about ingredients and they have no additives or fillers, unlike Johnsonville is a a sad excuse for brats. There are also several online German stores that carry quality wursts. One we have ordered from is Schaller& Weber out of New York.
I'm Swedish and haven't visited USA for almost 20 years now (went for a week in late September 2003) but seeing Aldi is a German grocery store chain, it could be worth checking there if you have one close to you
I'd pay for the Burgerme food, The others were a overpriced for what they are. Also, I walk out if the music is loud. I don't like to have to talk over the music. Enjoyed the video guys, Love from South Carolina.❤
My partner makes excellent burgers, and coming from China, he says the best French fries he has ever tried were in his hometown in mainland China. For me, the best fries are to be found in Belgium, Netherlands and France (in descending order). Belgian mayonnaise is the best, of course! As for burgers, just go to South Africa.
Peter Pane seems like a good date place given all the attributes of the way more expensive burger. Maybe good for a special occasion. I would bypass the other 2 places and just go to 5 Guys as Deana said if you have that in Germany. And for price, if 5 Guys has a cheeseburger 9 Euros or less, great.
I was certain the third chain in Düsseldorf would be "Bob and Mary's Burgers". Never heard of BurgerMe, even though I am based halfway between Düsseldorf and Krefeld.
Living in Hamburg. We have other vegan favourites for burgers but Peter Pane is a must go for delicious burgers when eating in a large group of vegan/vegetarian and meateaters. Pricy but tasty and consistent! And loads of options. ETA:the restaurant theme and atmosphere including the toilet storytelling makes it worth a visit!
You really should try Burger Nerds. They have locations in Duisburg, Dinslaken, Bocholt and Wesel. They are the best! But beware, their English menu is poorly translated.
Nothing beats Five Guys. It's only fair that you had to come to Krefeld for your burger, since I had to drive to Düsseldorf so many times to get something from Five Guys or Frittenwerk (I love their poutine). Next time you come to Krefeld, wait for decent weather and try the Biergarten at Stadtwaldhaus. It has won a "Best Biergarten in Germany" award once against all the Bavarian competition.
As an Angeleno, even with our high cost of living, I’d never think to pay more than $20 for burger, fries and soft drink. And NEVER for frozen meat. I’ll use J Kenji Alt-Lopez’s smash burger recipe or get In n Out. But I love you both and your videos! Keep up the good work! Ausgezeichnet!
Tipp für einen besonderen Burger: Waldgeist in Hofheim am Taunus. XXL Restaurant mit Burgern mit 30 cm Durchmesser. Wäre bestimmt auch ein tolles Video 😂
I prefer non-chain Roadhouse-burgers. There are some great once now adays in Germany. The best I have been to is "Opa Joe's Roadhouse" in Lienen, NRW. Greatest burger ever! All bio, regional products, if possible. Awesome stuff and not that expensive. Biggest burger with 4 meat-pads is 20 Euro.
I would never pay those prices for a burger. I make my own Gourmet Burgers and home for $3 or $4. I love a good mushroom Swiss burger or a bacon cheddar burger, I also love a ham and swiss burger.
My experience living in Kaiserslautern for 7 years, there are some great burger restaurants- and when you find them, you get a fantastic meal. Most German ground beef is very lean for a decent burger. But a few places do it very right. I found a great place in Wiesbaden, a couple of good places in Kaiserslautern. BurgerMe was just ok in my experience. Not something I would go back to. Das!Burger in Wiesbaden is my top pick. Burger 16/57 or Old Station in Kaiserslautern are almost as good. I would expect €10-€12 is a fair price for a burger at a sit down restaurant.
Better you go in a local Gasthaus in your City or Village and eat Schweinebraten, Schnitzel, Rindsroulade or Schweinshaxe. That's better and much cheaper.
I prefer thick juicy beef with cheddar, mayo and optionally grilled onions. The fries should be thick and crispy outside but fluffy inside. Ketchup for the fries and Dr Pepper to drink
I‘m from Frankfurt and I also like the Burger Restaurants Jamys Burger, What‘s Beef and Chicago Meatpakers but I‘m not quite sure if they are truely german restaurants or american 😅
Five Guys is a bit pricey on their burgers and fries compared to other burgers and fries. The fries are fresh made from actual Idaho Russet potatoes. They are in bags stacked in the restaurant.
I swear the burger from the 2nd place looked like a veggie burger. It even looked like it had carrots in it. Are you sure you didn't accidently order/get served the veggie burger?!
Very strange I was just watching TIM LEE video yesterday and he was eating in an Alison in Wonderland themed restaurant in Japan. And now you guys are eating in a Peter Pan themed restaurant in Germany. What are the chances.
What is on your perfect burger? And, what price would you pay for it? If you enjoyed this video, you may like: Pancakes - German vs American! (ruclips.net/video/dfgfvJIH3mQ/видео.html ) or Pizza in Germany that Americans have NEVER seen! (ruclips.net/video/UW9u_CaLbc8/видео.html )
Jesus loves you ❤️ please turn to him and repent before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world.

Five Star burgers. $10-$12 - beef is ground in house every day, house-made brioche bun, tons of toppings to choose from. Never frozen.
the one in classic remise is very good.. also

I’m pretty sure we saw Hans im Glück in Nuremberg too, in addition to Five Guys.
Came to say that they both are super similiar. When I saw Peter Pane I almost immediately thought about Hans im Glück.
Came here to say this 😂

That Peter Pan looked great as a restaurant and the quality was top notch. If I wanted a burger (which I crave occasionally) I would just go there.
Honestly, the burgers that Phil makes at home are way better than these, but it was fun to try out different places! 🍔🍟
Morgen!!!! I think home burgers are always better because you can season them they way you like them. I like to chop onions and infuse them in the patty before grilling, along with black pepper! Enjoy your weekend! - Chuck
I was going to say that - if I can find good Irish beef patties I can make a superb burger on my grill.

Extra points for the "Edeka" reference. Had one right across the street in my village. Many hungover Saturday mornings cured with Edeka fleischsalat, brotchen, and Coke.
Phil: It's sooo good.
Deana: You say that about everything you eat. 😂😂😂
I think Deana is that typical American. They seem to grow up on chunk. Very addictive, yet, very unhealthy stuff.
And of course her hubby is right into it as well. Yea, looks like he really adopted some bad habit there of Deana.
The food always looks delicious in Germany. I would have absolutely no problem eating in Germany, I especially love the traditional German food. 👍🏻👍🏻♥️🇺🇸🙏🏻
Missed you both last week Deana and Phil. Glad you are back ❤
Interessant 🧐. Ich liebe das Restaurant mit Peter Pan Thema. Vielen Dank für das Video. Ich freue mich darauf, diesen Monat Deutschland zu besuchen!

Angus beef is the top 10% of choice, meaning it's graded between prime and choice, if cooked beyond medium it will be dry and a firm texture
We have two local burger chains in the Esslingen/Stuttgart/Waiblingen area that make really good burgers at fair prices. Pit's Burgers und Pop's Burgers. 😋🤤
Yummy...Burger comparisons! How could you possibly go wrong? Cheers Guys.

Hey Deana and Phil,
i don‘t live in Düsseldorf anymore, but for me the best burger were WHATS BEEF and BOB & MARY (approximately 6 years ago).
This Restaurants were no Chains back in the days but i think they are available in a few towns now. Maybe you know them already.
Greetings🤘🏻
Bob and Mary is still really good. There is a second one now but they’re both in Düsseldorf
We do like Bob & Mary for a nice sit down burger! We haven't tried What's Beef, but we see it often! Any burger recommendations there? The pictures always look good!
@@DeanaandPhil I don‘t like „fancy“ ones… just give me a Cheeseburger and i‘m happy. The Shakes are also very good.
@@isawrooka4 good to know, i will visit next time in Düsseldorf.
Kommt nach Oberhausen. Wir haben hier einige Burgerchains (auch Peter Pane, jedoch haben wir bessere). Im Vergleich zu den gefrorenen Patties bei Peter Pane gib’s hier frische/medium Patties bei Burger Nerds oder bei Piwys Burger. Könnt ihr bestimmt mit einem Besuch im Centro (eins der größten Einkaufszentren in Deutschland) verbinden 😊👍🏻
$16 for a frozen patty is criminal. The meat should shine above the toppings
If you two go back to South Carolina to visit, you really should drive up to Landrum and go to the Hare and Hound for burgers and fries. My favorite is the Hen House burger. My husband really liked the sweet potato fries. My really favorite thing about this restaurant was that we could sit outside and bring our dog. It seemed like everyone on the staff liked German Shepherds and came by to pet our guy. They brought him a water dish with water and ice and some strips of bacon! Nice people, nice food.
You just reminded me of, that once I was in Peter Pann restaurant in Braumschweig, we had a dinner with our German colleagues and it was fantastic. Also it was a good test for German knowledge. :D
I tend to make my own burgers as it is difficult to find really good burgers at restaurants. My preference is a 1/2 pound patty, cheese - usually a mix of Swiss, muenster, and provolone, two strips of bacon, crisp lettuce, (NO tomato, I hate tomatoes), and sliced red onion. If fresh jalapeno's are available, I will definitely add them. I will put horseradish mayo, mustard, barbeque sauce, and sweet pickle relish (or substitute pickle slices) on it as well. I will use a toasted homemade pretzel bun or store bought brioche bun if I run out of pretzel buns.
The beef patty is seasoned with salt, pepper, and some garlic powder and the burger is grilled with butter generously applied during cooking. I will frequently grate various cheeses together and blend the grated cheese with the burger meat. Sometimes I will make a small "pouch" in the middle of the patty and fill it with the cheese blend (this can be done "on the fly" when making burgers to order). Makes for a very cheesy and juicy burger.
When guests come over for burgers, the basic choice is a burger with no cheese or toppings and a choice of buns. The guests are free to add anything they wish. I NEVER offer "veggie burgers" as it is my firm belief that a burger is beef and only beef, vegetable patties are not "hamburgers".
If I can find a restaurant that has decent burgers on the menu, I will give them a try, but don't like paying more than $10 - $12 for the burger. I have had a nice burger at a local restaurant in Germany (Bavaria), but it wasn't "premium" nor did they charge a premium price for it (I think it was 8 EUR).
Y’all know I’m a burger person! That first burger looked great! So 2 of my favorite burgers in Texas so far cost $12 for just the burger. At both of these places we each order our own burger and then we will split an order of fries which costs extra. Idk if I’d call them “premium” burgers. But they’re pretty close! They are sit down restaurants with decent atmospheres. I’ve definitely paid up to $18+ for a burger at like a nice steakhouse or something. But that $10-$15 range seems to be the going rate for a good, quality burger.
Never saw Peter Pane before, but when I heard the intro of the video I thought of something like Burger Brothers, Hans im Glück, and my mind was unsure if there is a 3rd option so I thought of Kochlöffel but Kochlöffel looks more like a burger place for cheap stuff 20 years ago xD
Hello Deanna and Phil. Thanks for the in-depth review of the premium burger joints in Germany. Looks like Germany is really giving the U.S. a "run for its money." I'm planning on returning to Germany for another vacation next summer and I am looking forward to trying all three of these new burger places. Of the three that you reviewed, I'm voting for Burger Me as being the most "Guenstig" in terms of value. I also like the visual appeal and it definitely looked fresh and juicy. Of course, I also was impressed with the other two choices; Peter Pane and Hans im Glueck. Your cheese donuts reminded me of the fried cheese curds popular here in the Midwest and Northern Plains. Long time subscriber here and I enjoy your vlogs and content. I rarely comment, but this video got my interest piqued. Enjoy your weekend and Schoene Gruesse aus North Dakota.
These places definitely reminded me of Red Robin
@@coyotelong4349 I was just thinking the same thing!!
There was a Peter Pan restaurant close to me, they served seafood and steamed Maryland crabs.
I know Peter Pane from my 3 day vacation in Dresden. They have a great quality. I loved going there for dinner...
Burgers in Germany? I just came back from a 2 week adventure in Germany with my 14 year old granddaughter, she absolutely positively loved the Thuringer and Bavarian bratwurst. Any idea where I can find such quality sausages here in the Chicago area?
The Thuringian sausage is one of Deana's favorite German sausages. I've never been to Chicago, so not sure where a good one would be. Maybe someone here is from Chicago and would know?
Look in your local grocery for wursts from Usinger. They are out of Milwaukee, but in many Chicago stores. In Schaumburg, I know Valli Produce and Tony’s Fresh Market carry Usinger. My wife is from Germany and likes Usinger. She is particular about ingredients and they have no additives or fillers, unlike Johnsonville is a a sad excuse for brats.
There are also several online German stores that carry quality wursts. One we have ordered from is Schaller& Weber out of New York.
I'm Swedish and haven't visited USA for almost 20 years now (went for a week in late September 2003) but seeing Aldi is a German grocery store chain, it could be worth checking there if you have one close to you
Sometimes I just want to eat a burger. I don't really consider the cost, so Peter Pan with the ambience and cool drinks would be my "go-to".
BurgerMe!
We have that too here.
I thought it was a local burger joint.
At that price u have to use fresh patties, frozen or heavily processed ones just dont have a good taste or texture...
I'd pay for the Burgerme food, The others were a overpriced for what they are. Also, I walk out if the music is loud. I don't like to have to talk over the music. Enjoyed the video guys, Love from South Carolina.❤
Seems way overpriced for pre made frozen burger.
My partner makes excellent burgers, and coming from China, he says the best French fries he has ever tried were in his hometown in mainland China. For me, the best fries are to be found in Belgium, Netherlands and France (in descending order). Belgian mayonnaise is the best, of course! As for burgers, just go to South Africa.
Peter Pane seems like a good date place given all the attributes of the way more expensive burger. Maybe good for a special occasion. I would bypass the other 2 places and just go to 5 Guys as Deana said if you have that in Germany. And for price, if 5 Guys has a cheeseburger 9 Euros or less, great.
this is the weirdest august in terms of weather
Where I live weather has been completely normal
Ridiculous prices! Would not pay that!!! Rather make my own!
Good on you.
Honestly as a german myself i hate that so many restaurants use frozen patties they ruin the entire burger for me most of the time.
More than eur 10 for a burger not freshly made is ridiculous. Total costs of ingredients is no more than eur 3 to 3,50.
Definitely go to Karl Herrmann’s in Köln-Ehrenfeld. Phil will go crazy
I was certain the third chain in Düsseldorf would be "Bob and Mary's Burgers". Never heard of BurgerMe, even though I am based halfway between Düsseldorf and Krefeld.
Living in Hamburg.
We have other vegan favourites for burgers but Peter Pane is a must go for delicious burgers when eating in a large group of vegan/vegetarian and meateaters.
Pricy but tasty and consistent!
And loads of options.
ETA:the restaurant theme and atmosphere including the toilet storytelling makes it worth a visit!
LOVE Five Guys, as they are from my region. The DMV, District (Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia). Five Guys, so good, but so much.
You really should try Burger Nerds. They have locations in Duisburg, Dinslaken, Bocholt and Wesel. They are the best! But beware, their English menu is poorly translated.
Would never pay $16 for a burger, JMO
“Peter Pan restaurant” I have to give that a Go. 😍🍽!!
Brilliant!!!! love your Vids. Wish I could speak German as well as you. Danke shon tschus
If you travel to Hamburg, try Dulfs Burger - they got three of 'em in Hamburg.
Hans and Gluck I was standing on that roof last december damnit.
Nothing beats Five Guys. It's only fair that you had to come to Krefeld for your burger, since I had to drive to Düsseldorf so many times to get something from Five Guys or Frittenwerk (I love their poutine).
Next time you come to Krefeld, wait for decent weather and try the Biergarten at Stadtwaldhaus. It has won a "Best Biergarten in Germany" award once against all the Bavarian competition.
Juicy's Giant Hamburgers in Reno NV USA was the best I ever had. The double cheeseburger is $10.20 now but it used to be about $8.00 ten years ago.
As an Angeleno, even with our high cost of living, I’d never think to pay more than $20 for burger, fries and soft drink. And NEVER for frozen meat. I’ll use J Kenji Alt-Lopez’s smash burger recipe or get In n Out. But I love you both and your videos! Keep up the good work! Ausgezeichnet!
Did you tryed the Burgers from Big Boost Burger from Jp Performance in Dortmund, they are also very good . Greetings from Schimanskis Hometown
I ate a burger at the hardrock cafe in Innsbruck.. you should try it. Im Dutch btw
Peter Pan? You mean that Disney story about little boys being abducted and taken to an island? Where they never come back? Sounds great?
Happy Vlogging Day 😎 🎞 📹 👊
Fastfood Düsseldorf, i love Frittenwerk. Specialist for fries, so many kinds of canadian potine😋
Tipp für einen besonderen Burger: Waldgeist in Hofheim am Taunus. XXL Restaurant mit Burgern mit 30 cm Durchmesser. Wäre bestimmt auch ein tolles Video 😂
No burgers when I was in Germany from 1976 - 1980, but I did enjoy all the Germany food though.
I prefer non-chain Roadhouse-burgers. There are some great once now adays in Germany. The best I have been to is "Opa Joe's Roadhouse" in Lienen, NRW. Greatest burger ever! All bio, regional products, if possible. Awesome stuff and not that expensive. Biggest burger with 4 meat-pads is 20 Euro.
Mmmmmmm.delicious looking 1st burger!! That stinks about the 2nd one😢and 16 euros for a burger imo is crazy!!
I would never pay those prices for a burger. I make my own Gourmet Burgers and home for $3 or $4. I love a good mushroom Swiss burger or a bacon cheddar burger, I also love a ham and swiss burger.
My experience living in Kaiserslautern for 7 years, there are some great burger restaurants- and when you find them, you get a fantastic meal. Most German ground beef is very lean for a decent burger. But a few places do it very right. I found a great place in Wiesbaden, a couple of good places in Kaiserslautern.
BurgerMe was just ok in my experience. Not something I would go back to.
Das!Burger in Wiesbaden is my top pick. Burger 16/57 or Old Station in Kaiserslautern are almost as good.
I would expect €10-€12 is a fair price for a burger at a sit down restaurant.
The vegan sauce is very important to an angus meat burger haha
Germany is known for having such excellent meat, why on earth would anyone use a frozen beef patty.
Better you go in a local Gasthaus in your City or Village and eat Schweinebraten, Schnitzel, Rindsroulade or Schweinshaxe. That's better and much cheaper.
I prefer thick juicy beef with cheddar, mayo and optionally grilled onions.
The fries should be thick and crispy outside but fluffy inside.
Ketchup for the fries and Dr Pepper to drink
Augsburg - Beisser Burger - no chain , but awesome , even for my American Girl !
A gourmet burger at Hopdotties is around 10 USD. I'm okay with those prices.
Deanas gernan is ❤ love her accent. Been following u for years. ❤
I‘m from Frankfurt and I also like the Burger Restaurants Jamys Burger, What‘s Beef and Chicago Meatpakers but I‘m not quite sure if they are truely german restaurants or american 😅
Keep up the vids guys, I love watching!
Five Guys is a bit pricey on their burgers and fries compared to other burgers and fries. The fries are fresh made from actual Idaho Russet potatoes. They are in bags stacked in the restaurant.
Germany knows how to do fries, not like flaccid mcfries.
The Burgerme burger deserves a modeling contract!
Burgerme: „Big Angus“? Das Teil paßt locker in die Handfläche, also ist er nicht größer als ein Big Mac und dann so teuer? 😮
The premium burger shops pop up everywhere in europe. Is the same hype going on in the US?
I swear the burger from the 2nd place looked like a veggie burger. It even looked like it had carrots in it. Are you sure you didn't accidently order/get served the veggie burger?!
I rarely have room for desert. Would a typical US customer enjoy these? The prices seem quite high.
Very strange I was just watching TIM LEE video yesterday and he was eating in an Alison in Wonderland themed restaurant in Japan. And now you guys are eating in a Peter Pan themed restaurant in Germany. What are the chances.
No burger patty should ever be frozen ,,🤯
