Fire to Fast Food - WHOPPER VS BIG MAC 

Yummo! FYI...The reason that Burger King is called Hungry Jacks in Australia is because when Burger king first opened here there was already a small Australian owned chain with the same name. That chain sued Burger King and Burger King was forced to change its name.

"She hasn't had a Whopper in 15 years"...! Guessing you've been married for 15 years? Sorry Harry, couldn't resist.

Top tip - the large ice cube trays you can get that are marketed to people who want large cubes for spirits typically hold about 80-85g of meat in each section. Convenient way to store mince for burgers in the fridge or freezer. I use them to make it easy to take meat for smash burgers when camping.

"She has the palate of a six-year-old" (proceeds with the most unceremonious use of ketchup and mayo)

Alright, alright. You win, I see you’ve played knifey-spoony before.

The pulp fiction cut, perfect just perfect!

“Postman, or something” 🤣🤣🤣

As my nearest Golden Arches is either a plane or ferry trip to the mainland so glad you have done these burger vids. I once smuggled a Big Mac on the plane for my wife after being on the mainland for a Macadies fix but after your vids I've been making our own Big Macs using burgers from Macdonald's the butcher here on my island in the Outer Hebrides. Now I am going to have to make an island burger sauce for our Macdonald's

Nice video mate. One of the best things about your videos is the use of a tripod. People spinning their gopro around themselves about a foot from their face trying to sell me their merchandise is pretty grating.

That biolite is so sick!

Just found your channel, really enjoy the videos. Thanks so much.

I’ve had one of these for years - they are great!

So glad I subscribed to your channel today. Another great cooking and gear demo. Although I'm not so sure about charging electronics on the BioLite so proximal to the heat and food activity.

Nice clear picture mate. Casting to 75inch tv. love to see how that water hose is setup.

oh man! your content just keeps getting better!

Great video ..lol old bunji boy look like he was guna put up fight giving the burger back .

I’m out of the country and you tease me with this ...... dam you ..... two weeks to go and then two weeks quarantine before I can test your style...... thanks

Pretty neat product and very niché in my opinion. Great content mate keep it up

Need to do a sausage and egg mc muffin next.

The ole knifey spoony trick aye. Haha. Great vid mate. Got me hungry again.

I have the Biolite Campstove 2 and the none charging 1. I love them. I even use them to roast coffee.

Love it mate! Awesome

Nice vid Harry 👍 I've been getting into making my own burgers lately so will be giving these a go! Have you tried the smash burger? They are next level tasty 👌

Should have gone the crispy chicken burger. Two birds, one stone! Great vid Harry

BioLite saves the day. Another great video. also, loving the wok spatula. "whatever, this'll do"

"It tastes like a Whopper". That's because it was cold!

Gday Harry another great video always makes me hungry but this time you had my wife and I laughing our arses of with you comment " sam hasn't had a whopper in 15 years " we are to filthy minded lol please don't take offence

No cheese on the second whopper? Now I want a burger, :) Can't wait for your book to come out.

I worked at Hungry Jacks for many years, it did suck. But I can tell you how to make any of their burgers. A Whopper is meat first on the heal, 4 pickles, ketchup and onion. The crown is mayo, lettuce then two slices of tomato. The buns are also toasted, and if you ask for cheese the burger gets put into a microwave for a few seconds.

Damn! I gotta go out and get a big mac with extras now to try it! 🤣

Looks good, but if you put those green things in mine I'd flick them at your windscreen :)

Defined need to add the bio lite to my kit!

LOVE the pulp fiction reference! Best Do you mind if I have some of this tasty beverage to wash this down

Late comment sorry. I have the original bio lite which doesn’t have the fancy grill. I’ve found it good for boiling a billy or a coffee pot. Thought I’d point out that I put the wood in first then make an upside down fire lighting a smaller kindle bundle on the top. I think it’s a bit heavy and a bit of a novelty, I wouldn’t mind trying the base camp model. I think that is much more practical and developed for people who actually need to cook on a fire, but can’t afford the wood.

Looks bloody good mate. Well done. 👍❤🍺🇦🇺

A number of fast food places now do lettuce wraps which is nice since it is hard to find a decent bun anywhere when you’re a celiac.

How could you forget to restock the fridge with beers 🤣 ahahahaha was classic Also, restaurant idea🤔 Harry's brews and burgers or burgers and brews since you nailed the burger ahahaha

Good to see that you don’t have to go to a Pub to enjoy a great steak & fries 😉

you forgot sour cream in the mayo my man awesome vid mate

I noticed you got the air compressor on the biolite, was it not getting hot enough or just speeding it up? Really wanting to get one for biking/hiking. Would you recommend it for that?

As someone that worked at both hjs and Macca's as a teen your assembly of both burgers hurt me just a little haha looks good regardless

Hungry Jacks and Burger King are totally unrelated and do not share any same Menu Items other than The Whopper, its a long story with leasing the name etc, but in short as its a very long story, Hungry Jacks ended up suing Burger King and won.

For true authenticity you need to wait at least half an hour for it to be the correct maccas/hungry jacks temperature

Hungry jacks= yummo.....BigMac= boiled dog food. Going to try both tonight see what the misso and kids think cheers bloke.

Nice upload. How long would your special burger sauce last for in the fridge?

To stop the parafin smell from firelighters, I use curry leaves, rosemary or any other strong smelling shrub/herb that is edible on top of the coals/wood and that seems to get rid of the parafin smell...

He really didn't want to give that burger back 22:30 hahaaa

McClure’s Pickles is what you need for your Big Mac

My experience with Whoppers in Australia was disappointing to be honest. I had one in Melbourne and can say that they taste quite different than here in North America. My initial thought was that 1) the beef is slightly different and 2) the mayo wasn't the same. But hey, if it tastes like what you are used to- good on ya. For making Big Mac's, each patty shouldn't be larger than a yellow Post-It note (and not much thicker either!) Well done video!

The best thing about living out of town in the bush is not having places like macca's or hj's and it makes you need to cook your own real food.

Beautiful part of the world down there. Always cooler than Perth. I surprised Harry doesn't favor the flame-grilled whopper. Maybe flame grill the Big Mac patties. I bet that was a great holiday mate.

The whole of Australia call it hungry Jack's..

You didn't show the bit where you scrape the pickles off & fill it up with chips...

They do toast their buns actually! Atleast at hungry jacks they do, very lightly in an automated toaster 😅

I want to say how healthy you look! All things considered, you are one lucky man!! Steven

They looked lovely. The issue I can see is when you actually get a burger from those establishments they never quite look that good.

When we owned a take away shop, we found the best pattie was a 70% beef 30% lamb mix. Had to be made up by a butcher though.

No driving DPFs during fire ban.....

It’s called hungry jacks in Australia because someone already had the name Burger King when they brought the franchise here back in the day.

Made the big mac sauce,,, is epic made it at home chucked it all in than hit it with the Bamix ,, misses recons it tastes just like big mac sauce

Whoa whoa. The rhyme said "2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. Did I or you miss something in those ingredients?

@10:28 Ah i see you have played knifey spoony before. Bahahaha

Everytime I watch one of your videos, I put on another kilo😋

And also they put the cheese on and micro wave it to melt the cheese

Where’s the middle bun for the Big Mac’s?

The burgers are better at Harry joint then👍😎 Always try to attempt the big guys flavours with bbq and always do different but I think better, love the wee bbq, where can 8 purchase?

I would also call that a solid fuel stove, not a camp fire

Next week ... New improved bacon big Mac comes out.

F2F. A HJ's "Bacon Deluxe" is the best ! Less ingredients vs the BK Whopper and looking forward to your 'Tendercrisp' ? V.

Damn, now I have to go to Maccas and order a Bacon Big Mac...

Hungry jacks do toast there buns 😂 well they did when I worked there when I was a young fella

I just waiting for Sam to throw something at Harry, or make fun of him.🤣

I just saw this! Wow you have cracked secret of WOPPA!!!!!

Ever used a charcoal stove Harry?

11/10 Whopper... he sounds like a keeper Sam! PS: Aldi sell a great “LeBigMac” burger sauce for those that CBF to make their own 🤪

They look great but you REALLY need to consider food safety. Using the same board for raw meat and preparation of cooked foods is a Nono. The Biolite with the grill attachment is about $350 worth of kit; they’re great but pricey.

Next up, how to cook a rooster!

10:25 I see you've played knifey-spoony before

12:53 When a husband desperately awaits approval from his wife...

I see you’ve played Knifey Spoony before.

Your shop link is broken on this Video

Maccas do toast their buns, they just have a quick toaster

I make all this possible? Man, I just drool.

Fun facts....Hungry Jacks was bought to Australia by 'Jack Cowin'. Hungry Jacks is a franchise of the Burger king corp. Burger king did try to launch in Australia but failed this was after hungry jacks were already present. In 2001 burger king tried to pull their contract but the courts ruled in Mr Cowins favour. Interesting read

Still can’t help but think the draws and fridge would be better off swooping locations... yes I know you’d loose the door table when the fridge is pulled out I just can’t help but think it would be more user friendly the other way round

American burger cheese, AKA recycled polystyrene boxes

They had to change the name to Hungry Jacks as Burger King name was already taken in Australia. I believe there was a lawsuit as I recall Burger King when I was a kid

5:32 next weeks cook up.

Whopper is tastier. Hard to beat that smokey flavour and fresh salad. Mmmm

Shortcut is the devil. Streaky all the way

Harry. The Ingredients for the Big Mac sauce in the video differ to that of your book. Which is the correct one please?

You forgot the sesame bun still looked good though

Hey Harry have you tried toilet paper and vege oil to start a fire? It's all I use now. A trick from an old South African I worked with 😁

Fresh grilled burgers are always better than fast food. And yep in the USA

Cooking at 5.48.

Pretty sure the HJ's thing is due to them (HJ's) not bowing to commercial pressure as they were in OZ before Burger King. Fun fact they are founded in Western Australia

Burgers can’t be choosers

Damn now ya trying to get free burgers? ;)

Whens the ybs collab coming?

I must say, having been a butcher for 20 years, I can't believe that you guys either believe you are getting or actually specify the cut of beef when you buy mince. Mince is meat trimmings, and should only ever be. You can't get tough mince, so all you need to specify is the species (beef, pork, lamb etc) for the type of flavour you are after, and the level of fat. Fat is flavour but it also melts and runs away when cooked, and some mince meals prefer higher fat content than others. I could not imagine spending $20 per kilo on beef - then mincing it as there really is no need. Leaner mince, finely ground mince but not a cut - just not required. It is as ridiculous as buying an 'Angus' sausage - you cannot taste different breeds, certainly not after it has been manufactured into a sausage. I hope this helps, probs not!
