Making The Burger King Whopper Meal At Home | But Better 

This is making me feel like Josh needs to try and make his own sodas now. I'd love to see him try to recreate the recipe for Coca Cola

josh should do a bunch of drinks. like non-alchoholic cold drinks. that'd be a good vid. i feel like drinks are underappreciated

Usually these episodes make me want to go cook but this time i actually just want Burger King.

How the hell did you not include the char broiled aspect, it’s like literally the one semi unique thing about BK

whopper whopper whopper whopper

"they call this the king, we'll see who deserves the crown" is by far the most personal quote i have heard this dude utter.

My only issue with this is that the Whopper is always marketed as a flame-broiled burger, so not the same as a diner/smash burger. But other than that- looks great. And fries are surprisingly hard to make from scratch AND improve on what you can get in the freezer aisle.

Great burgers!

Wait. How are you gonna miss the char-broiled burger aspect of the burger? It's what defines a Burger King burger, my guy.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Joshua vs Guga Burger match XD You both make such awesome burgers.

The end product looks incredible but I feel like this but better episode was not so much of a replicate the Burger King meal and improve but more of a “ here’s a burger and fries that taste better than Bk’s”. The fries were made using a recipe you have for McDonald’s fries and you didn’t flame broil the burger.

I just found your channel a month ago and I wanted a cookbook to learn to cook and I was scrolling on amazon and seen your name pop up so I bought your book. Best decision ever!! &&& now you are making a second one ! :D I cant wait

Joshua Weissman is my spirit animal. I'll have you know, I make a great many of these recipes. My cooking game has leveled up so much over the past few years because of this guy.

You should try make a gourmet meal with only the ingredients inside a hello fresh box!

I think I speak for everyone when I say we need you to make a double-triple bossy deluxe on a raft, four-by-four animal style; an extra side of shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze; light axle grease, make it cry, burn it and let it swim... but better.

Just found your channel today. I’m an immediate fan and just ordered your cookbook! ❤❤

Whopper, Whopper, Whopper, Whopper Junior, Double, Triple Whopper Flame-grilled taste with perfect toppers I rule this day Lettuce, mayo, pickle, ketchup It's okay if I don't want that Impossible or bacon Whopper Any Whopper my way You rule, you're seizin' the day At BK, have it your way (You rule)

Watching him do but betters makes me think that I need some episodes of GMM Josh with JW Josh tackling a but better

Thanks for the great nut-topped salmon recipe in your *first* cookbook. Fiancée loved it! You're making me look like a pro in the kitchen! Definitely picking up the second book

I love seeing you make your own version of other things!! I would love to see you make your own fancy milkshake. Wendy's strawberry milkshake/frosty is good but I'd like to see your own version of it

Hey Weissman, I just wanted to comment a humble thank you. You and your channel along with a few others managed to re-ignite my passion for cooking and creating dishes for people. I finally decided to go and work in a restaurant, and I've never been happier at a job before.

I started salting my tomato slices a couple of months ago after watching one of your videos and WOW 😯 it was a game changer. So much better! Thank you 🙏

Josh, the fry recipe you made a couple of years back, is my go to!!!😎

All I want for my birthday is both of your cookbooks! Love your videos and so does my 3 yr old! He loves helping me cook and I'd love to recreate your recipes from your book

100% quality content 100% of the time! Delicious, entertaining, Josh is King! 👑

When I go on my break to eat my lunch, josh saves the day with a new video for me to binge to.

Love your work. Definitely my favourite chef. You should make a cook book

I’ve been making mayonnaise with that technique for probably 3-4 years now. You don’t really have to worry about being gentle with the oil pour. Just dump it in - it’ll be fine.

Your content is awesome! Love the dishes!

I keep on requesting this, but what do you think about a Jamba Juice 'But Better' episode? Jamba Juice was my childhood, and is what made me obsessed with smoothies to this day. :)

I don’t eat ever Burger King and rarely fast-food for that matter. Your videos gave me the ideas to recreate some of my kids favorites from fast food restaurants minus the nastiness lol. ❤

This will probably get buried, but I used to manage a BK. The one thing I always prided myself on was making burgers that looked like they do in the menu pics. I wasn't as fast as the guys who usually worked the board, but my sandwiches looked better and by default tasted better because I took a little extra time to make sure they came out right. If BK slowed down a little, their sandwiches would be so much better.

Hey, Josh, you should do Steak and Shake's Portobello and Swiss Burger. Or maybe some classic dishes from Denny's, like the Grand Slam or the Country Fried Steak. Just throwing those out there.

I take great inspiration from what you do in the kitchen Joshua. Much love all the way from Cape Town

Italian here, I love your videos, I’ve been following you for a long time and I’m a fan of your recipes. I think you’re a great cook and I appreciate the fact that you use grams, I don’t really understand cups and spoons 🤣🤣🤣 also, your channel gives me the chance to explore a culinary culture that is different from mine. 😊 Looking forward to seeing more videos from you!’ 😊

Are we just going to ignore the fact that my man strained boiling water and potatoes with his arm...

This looks so good 👌 Respect for the second cook book

I would love to see a but better for Frosted sugar cookies

I grew up in the 1960s and my mother had a French fry cutter. It made really thick-cut sticks of potato that she would fry in Crisco in an electric skillet on the kitchen counter. We'd eat them with ketchup. I don't remember her freezing them first. I really liked them. I don't know if I had a restaurant fry until a McDonald's opened in our town a few blocks away in 1966. Everybody was excited to try their 15-cent hamburgers. I didn't think their French fries were as good as my mother's. A year or two later an A&W opened a few blocks in the other direction. I thought their French fries were better than McDonald's. And they had great root beer.

Ok Josh now hear me out.. A cookbook!!! Of your “But Better” series! 🙌🏽🤞🏽🍽️

That looks like a damn good burger. The only thing I would change is I would cook the burger patties over charcoal to get that authentic BK flame broiled flavor, but understandable that it's not really possible to do that in your home kitchen.

Josh dunking on BK not once but TWICE for a Whopper convinces me that he was the kid who was teased for bringing his own lunch and swore vengeance upon the entire culinary world.

I can tell Josh is a fan of Bill Wurtz because I've been binging his videos and he does bits like when he sang 'container' quite a bit. I love it every time he does it.

I never grow tired of these But Better videos (cooked several as well). Keep 'em coming Josh! And I know this might now work (with competition and all), but could you do more collaboration videos w/ YT chefs? (Babish, Chef John, J. Kenji López-Alt, Pro Home Cooks, Ethan Chlebowski, Matty Matheson, etc.? I left out a lot, I know.)

Hmmm. Does Josh have a series for video game/television food? I mean, wouldn't that be awesome to have Josh have another cookbook purely for stuff like the Cake N' Bacon cakes from Fairly Odd Parents, or maybe the 'strange bun' from Stardew Valley?

Can you do Air Fryer meals for us Papa Josh?? 🥺

probably been said a million times but i will never get tired of the way he says b-roll

Trying out the pickles recipe! Never done it before but I was inspired by the fact you made your own for the burger.

The Pickle Rick had me DYING 😂😂

By "Your" McDonald's French Fry, do you mean to say you've discovered steps that Kenji didn't? I've been contemplating cooking the fries sous-vide for the first "blanch" before vaccum dessicating and giving the pre-freeze fry....

I've been binging these and I commented on an earlier video about american cheese belonging specifically on burgers and grilled cheeses. I feel validated now.

Steam the fries: dredge them in a starch them microwave them till softened, then fry. It's gives a pretty awesome fry: creamy, soft, and fluffy inside, and amazing crisp!

Triple double bacon whopper Whopper whopper whopper 😂😂😂😂

did those buns absorb the last 2? lol 😄Also that sliced cheese is awesome in korean instant ramen!

Dang. It's <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="741">12:21</a> AM and now I have to get up and go grind some meat for burgers. Thanks a lot, Weissman! Damn temptations.

I love how at the intro we always end up in the fridge

See, the thing is - I got your book. I've done a few of your recipes. I got the hang of the cookies and the bread. I've done other recipes and I make a good cheesecake. These alone have impressed girls/women (and some men) around me. BUT THE LITERAL MOMENT the McDonald's fries' recipe drops... You're just pushing women into every man's arms at that point. Can't wait to add that to my repertoire :D

But the burger isn't charbroiled...

I appreciate you giving the service guy that seemed like he was having a bad day a 10/10

@JoshuaWeissman I love your videos I almost posted this on the wrong playlist. Anyways I think you should do a but better Dunford chocolate cake donut. I would love to see a recreation of the recipe.

I know you made it your way, but I might have to disqualify you Joshua. You did not charbroil the burger patties which BK has been doing forever. Your burger might be amazing, but I respectfully don't think it can be called a BK Whopper without being charbroiled. I saw no open-flamed grill, you made a smash burger. Of course I'm joking, but sort of not really.

5 hours of time, dirty dishes and 100 bucks worth of food for a 10 dollar whopper meal? I'll take the easier option.

I got an ad for McDonalds just as Josh took a bite of the whopper and it made my day

I'm guessing one of the steps you changed with the McDonald's fry is a quick high temp fry before the freeze and a fry oil that will make the fries more crisp like beef tallow or peanut etc etc.

Wow, did you manage to do all this in under a minute? If so, amazing job beating Burger King. If not, you lost.

Double frying my french fries always gets them super crispy! no freezing needed.

Can you show us how you would host a dinner party? Like do you serve the food or go buffet style and what do you serve?

That looks so freaking good.

I already bought your cookbook before this video. I knew I'd made a great choice once you said American cheese only belongs on a burger and grilled cheese sandwiches. (It also goes well in scrambled eggs and omelets too though) I live in Wisconsin where 1/4 of my diet is cheese, I have 5 cheese houses within a 30min drive from my house but American cheese is important to my cooking.

the first time I saw your video, I thought your sense of humor was outdated, but then I saw your number of subscribers... now I find you very funny

Delicious bread that is good for breakfast in the morning while relaxing steadily

Thank you sooooo much 😍👍🏼You're the KING 👑

i really do not understand why you made this video, the WHOPPER is already absolute perfection, there is no need for such recreation of the beautiful product that is THE WHOPPER. thank you, LukeFlorp

Nice burger there Uncle Joshua. And I would love to see you replicate one of the best street food in Malaysia, the Ramly Burger.

I see the fitness journey is going well! Arms lookin swole my guy! Keep it up!

ayyyy lets goo another video!!

Wow...just wow 👌 great job!

I love Burger Kings whopper with cheese, its one of my favorite burgers 😋. Jousha yours looks delicious too 😋. I'd definitely try it.

in belgium we fry our fries two times, one time on 90°C and second time on 180°c to get ultimate crunchhh

Please do a video on how ypu store all the kitchen gadgets. It's getting crazy over here we bins and shelves in my office to store oversized pots, air fryers, souper cubes, etc..

Great video!

I don’t even like Burger King, but I watch this video exclusively for the delicious looking soda! And now the mayo recipe too

I dunno if this would help your french fries, but B.K have salt in the oil that they cook their (straight from frozen) fries in. Years ago when I worked there in N.Z, if someone asked for 'no salt' on their fries we would have to tell them that there's already salt on them because of the oil- but that we can leave off adding salt after cooking. Wether or not this affects the cooking temp and aids the crunch factor though, not sure? Cheers for the vids though- learning heaps since we've discovered this channel 😊

Oh how I love the "But better" intro ❤️

If I could easily afford it I’d cook almost exclusively from this channel EVERY. DAMN. DAY! 🎉

Hey Bud! I hope your week is kind to you. I was wondering if you could make a Kinder Bueno cake? That'd be awesome!!!!!

Josh, I so liked this Video Thank You!

We got the Texas double in Alaska too, and I'm convinced it's bigger like our state.

THAT LOOKS SOOOOOOOO YUM

Great now I’m going to have that song in my head for hours 😂

Wow thats amazing

Josh: here's my Mc Donalds fry recipe. Also Josh: while removing some steps.

I'm using this recipe for the build your custom whopper it sounds great

i dont even cook but i find this guy so entertaining!!!!!

At cooking school, eons ago. We used to deep fry till partly cooked and then leave them or freeze them and deep fry then after, very thick crispy crust. Beddy gooda.

You can use a few granules of butter flavoring instead of salt as well as the veg oil.

would love to see Josh recreate other condiments from scratch, we've seen the mayo a hundred times, but what about that mustard? ketchup, bbq sauce (especially if its a but better of the trader joe's sriracha garlic bbq), ranch, etc...

Please do Costco cake! I need to know how to make that frosting 🤤

Been teasing the macdonalds fries for a fat minute now. Release it and I'll buy your cookbook

I was really expecting Joshua to double fry the well .. fries lol , par fry them to get the starch out then fry again to get them krispy
