Sean is so host like, if you invite him to come over for grabbing a bite, he will show guests your kitchen, house and garage and will thank *you* for coming over.
The more we learn about Sean, the more he reveals to us, for me anyway, idk about anyone else, but I just love this dude more and more as time goes on.
Au Cheval is freaking incredible. The burgers are great but it's the fries with the cheese sauce and egg along with that bone marrow appetizer that really steal the show.
I'm from the south suburbs of Chicago, and grew up on the crispy-edge beauty that is the Schoop's hamburger. I could never figure out why these weren't more popular (but now, fast forward 3 decades, and . . .). As a kid, these burgers paired perfectly with a regional soda called Green River which , for the uninitiated, is like drinking a glass of lime Jell-O, but even sweeter (I think some Schoop's locations even make Green River shakes).
Yes! Green River is sold at most markets in Chicago around St Patrick's Day. There's a pizza joint around 95th and Cicero that had that stuff on tap! We'd always hit that place up after being at the bar across the street from there. $3 for a huge slice of mostly dough pizza and a small cup for infinite Green River. Good times.
"Hi everyone, for First We Feast I'm Sean Evans and you're watching Hot Ones. It's the show with hot questions, and even hotter wings. And today I'm joined by Chicago, it's known for it's deep dish pizzas and Chicago style hot dogs, but today we're taking a look at its burgers. Chicago, welcome to the show."
And i just wanna introduce you guys to my fat Chinese friend who thinks he's cool, please give him a like and subscribe, he eats lots of burgers and doesn't get nearly as many views as I do. Oddjob, welcome to the show.
Like, you can see that he's just such a shitposter. Honestly, maybe he's just FilthyFrank incarnate after Joji split from him, or just a timetraveling George Miller.
HEYYYYY shoutout to these three being among the best example of three powerful hosts ACTUALLY FCKING SHARING the mic and adding to each other without trying to pull attention from each for camera time ego boosts, too many shows and great podcasts struggle with what these are just cool with. Anyways
What's this crap about Chicago being a midwestern burger destination? I'm from the midwest, and the only food Chicago is known for is that soupy casserole, that they for some reason insist on calling pizza.
@@mranonymous7183 Ignorance is bliss. Keep that hate up. You don't need to understand anything if you can live in a bubble and be content being an idiot.
John Medved Nice! Grew up in Lynwood/Lansing. Shout out to Merrillville and Southlake Mall, that was our favorite as long as you didn't mind the RT.30 traffic lol . I'm pretty sure there's still a Miner-Dunn in Highland off Rt.41.
As a Chicago native I'm ecstatic about the 3 places you visited. The Region is out of this world and The Loyalist is certainly better than Au Cheval. Fatsos....that place is amazing, and even more so after you've been drinking. Great episode my dudes.
Ooof, a picture of the (former) John Hancock building calling it the Sears Tower? As a Chicagoan I'm heart-broken. Only a free hot sauce sampler package will be able to console me.
Northwest Indiana definitely birthed this style of burger. They need to do a show on burger spots from "da region" as us native to NW Indiana call it and go to Schoops, Miner-Dunn and Blue Top Drive and another show on other places like Lincolns, Miller Pizza and a few other places.
The best cheeseburger I ever had in Chicago was back in the 80s when a partner and I visited for the day. Just before leaving town, we rolled up on a food truck run by Latinas. He had a pork chop sandwich, I had the burger...best burger I'd had in a long time.
Yo, I'm so happy they referenced Schoop's in this video! We have one in my town and hot damn it's such a great 70's diner-esque experience. Can't beat the burger/milkshake combo.
The REGION! The owner Curtis has the BURGER game down! Cannot wait to go back there. His onion rings are hand dipped in a Budweiser beer batter! Insanely tasty.
This was my favorite episode of the Burger Show I've seen yet, but like it or not deep dish pizza is in Chicago's DNA and should DEFINITELY be on the radar of tourists. Lou Malnati's is just ridiculously good.
As a native Chicagoan for over 30 years we really only eat deep dish whenever tourists are in town or for special occasions. Tavern Style is what we eat 99% of the time.
Being an Illinois native, when "smash burgers" became a hot item, I was like "oh, so it's just a burger." For once in my life, I pitied people who didn't grow up here.
Grew up in the 80's and 90's so I had the 85 bears winning superbowl XX as Jordan was mending his bum foot. Then high school with the first 3 peat. Food was always awesome. People have always been great. City of broad shoulders. Miss my city!
Chicago used to have the stockyards. Fully 85 percent of North AmericA need went through them that's why our steaks and burgers are so superb. Chicago ride then now forever
I'm guessing the football names starting at 4:42 are an Easter Egg - Schonberger is Exec Producer, Honda is the Producer and McNamara does graphic design.
St Louis born and raised, took MANY a weekend trip to Chi-town to watch the Sox. The food there is truly like nowhere else. Chilli dogs, pizza, burgers....when I moved to the east coast, I was FLOORED that nobody knew what a smash burger was. All they had were these greasy lumps of hydrated meat sponges. Blech.
Curve Ball: Connecticut, the birthplace of burgers. Louis Lunch in New Haven for the OG, Ted's in Meriden for the steamed burger, Shady Glen in Manchester for the fried cheese.
Chicagoan here who goes to school in CT . I just had Louis Lunch and honestly it feels kinda boring. I respect the tradition and history, but the cheese wasn't too flavorful and the white bread brings the burger down in size and heft. Been meaning to try Ted's and Shady Glen tho
