  • (Upbeat music) - Don't mind me.

  • Just freaking out a little bit here.

  • Hi guys, it's Matt. (orchestral music)

  • - Welcome back to my kitchen.

  • Here on Tasty we've made tons of great recipes

  • on how to make your own fast food at home,

  • but there is one thing we've never been able to capture

  • and that is the speed and convenience of fast food.

  • So today, in order to put that to the test,

  • I'm going to attempt to make one of my

  • favorite fast food burgers, the Big Mac,

  • in the same amount of time it takes

  • to have one delivered to my house.

  • We'll see how this goes.

  • (dramatic orchestral music)

  • This is the most nervous I've been for a video,

  • because as soon as I start, I cannot stop.

  • Here we go.

  • Confirming order, preparing your order.

  • We are unable to authorize your card.

  • (beep)

  • Okay, McDonald's is preparing my order.

  • First thing I'm gonna start with is my special sauce.

  • I am going to add,

  • mayonnaise,

  • my pickle,

  • a bit of mustard,

  • and then onion powder,

  • garlic powder,

  • paprika,

  • and finally, white pepper.

  • This bowl is way to small.

  • You know what?

  • Just gonna mix it anyways.

  • They have assigned a driver.

  • I am so screwed.

  • Oh my freaking god.

  • Okay, special sauce is done.

  • Going to quickly dice up my onion.

  • Got my iceberg lettuce.

  • I'm only gonna use a quarter of a head for this.

  • And I'm just gonna shred this.

  • Finally, I just want to prep my bun.

  • Because it has that middle bun,

  • I just want to trim one of the bottom pieces to use for it.

  • Okay, John has arrived.

  • I gotta get the burner.

  • Where's the burner?

  • Prep my burner.

  • As my burner is heating up,

  • I'm going to butter my buns.

  • And I'm just using sesame buns for this,

  • but you can really use whatever buns you want.

  • Just let these get nice and toasty.

  • Everette, you're looking at me,

  • why you looking at me?

  • Is John on his way?

  • Okay, perfect.

  • Buns are almost done.

  • Set those to the side.

  • Alright, so for my patties I'm keeping it nice and simple.

  • I'm just doing 80/20 lean to fat content.

  • So I'm gonna put my beef down.

  • (meat sizzling)

  • And I'm just gonna smash.

  • Let's do salt on top.

  • Cracked pepper.

  • Everette, how am I doing?

  • He's still at McDonalds?

  • I could win this, I actually feel good about this.

  • Looks good.

  • And I'm going to flip.

  • Oh perfect.

  • Perfect.

  • You can see that it's a nice golden brown.

  • I'm just gonna top one slice with my cheese.

  • I'd say that's probably good.

  • Wobash and wobash.

  • Alrighty, so I think I'm in the clear at this point,

  • but before I jinx myself,

  • I'm going to start with my bottom bun,

  • add some lettuce,

  • some onion

  • couple little dill pickles

  • got my middle bun,

  • some of that special sauce, secret sauce.

  • Is it secret or special sauce?

  • Top with a little bit more lettuce,

  • little bit more onion,

  • top with my final piece of meat,

  • add two more pickles,

  • special sauce on my top bun,

  • and wobash.

  • Boom.

  • That is a homemade Big Mac.

  • Where's John at?

  • Yes!

  • I think I did that in under fifteen minutes.

  • (beep)

  • I'm gonna -

  • (meat sizzling)

  • (clock ticking)

  • We've got two Big Macs in the time it takes to order one.

  • (clock ticking)

  • (Dramatic orchestral music)

  • So right off the bat,

  • mine looks pretty good.

  • It's got a lot of vertical height to it.

  • Feels like a lot more burger,

  • and honestly it looks like a good comparison

  • to the delivery one.

  • So the moment of truth.

  • It's time to try my burgers.

  • It's good.

  • It's a Big Mac.

  • It's exactly what you'd expect.

  • Consistent.

  • You got he balance of the sauce,

  • and the lettuce, and the onions,

  • and the pickle.

  • So let's give the homemade a try.

  • The homemade one is awesome.

  • It's got the char from the griddle.

  • I feel like McDonald's burgers don't always get that

  • nice, sorta browning on them that you'd like.

  • Got the crunchy lettuce,

  • you got the fluffy bun.

  • This is a great homemade interpretation of it.

  • Any body want the one I took a bite out of?

  • Everette?

  • And there you have it.

  • In a race against my delivery,

  • I was able to make two Big Macs in the time it takes

  • to make and deliver one.

  • Let me know what you guys think

  • in the comments section below.

  • If you guys have any other ideas,

  • or any other delivery options you want us to try,

  • also let me know in the comments below.

  • And until then, take care.

  • Oh yes.

  • (joyful orchestral music)

(Upbeat music) - Don't mind me.
