What Guy Couldn’t Stop Eating

It is clear that the Spicy Three-Pepper Firehouse Burger is the signature dish since it captured Guys attention, so it is a safe bet. However, the majority of places featured on Triple D usually have more than one dish that stands out. Feel free to ask what the other popular items are.

The regulars usually tell you what is best. A good sign is if you see the same dish going to multiple tables.

Behind the Recipe

While the actual recipe for the restaurant is secret, the episode gives a decent idea of how to tackle this at home.

For the patty, use beef with a good amount of fat – 80/20 is a good target. Season simply, form loose patties, and do not press while cooking.

Regarding the sear, use a hot surface, don’t overcrowd the pan, and flip only once. The crust is where all the flavors are.

The assembly: Go ahead and toast your buns! Now think about where you want the sauce (on the bun don’t do it on the meat), and never hold back on what you think makes this version special!

Will your version look exactly the same? Probably not. But that’s fine. The aim is to be in the ballpark, not to achieve a pinpoint duplicate.
