Dairy Queen Burger -- 1st one ever
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2024
- This griddle burger is a replica of the very first Dairy Queen burger ever made - by a viewer’s Dad back in 1950-ish, before DQ ever offered any food. It’s a fantastic story, and this original Dairy Queen burger was great! With two unique additions that you typically don’t see on burger menus - sliced red cabbage and old-fashioned chili sauce - this burger is unique but also familiar! Because of the combination of mayo and chili sauce (which is like a rich, gourmet ketchup), I would compare it to a Whopper.
If you want to try a new burger recipe on the griddle, then give this “Dean’s Dairy Queen” burger a try! Now all that’s missing is a Blizzard on the side!

Neal and Amy, this brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for honoring my father, it means a lot. We had customers regularly tell us they would drive past 2 other DQ's for our burgers. Another funny story, when my dad watched a patty cook, he could tell if his meat processor was using too much fat, and on a couple of occasions he would grab a patty and say "let's go" and we would drive over to the place and he would make the owner test that fat ratio and my dad was always right. The other thing I should have mentioned is we let the first side cook until the liquid/fat pooled on the top before we flipped it. You might think it dried the burger out, but it didn't. Assembly-wise, you came real close to the original masterpiece. We used more onions, but your dice was pretty spot on. Up until his passing, my grandfather would dice up 50 pounds every morning. He loved onions and would eat them like apples :) I appreciate you guys!
We appreciate you…. Cheers from us to you.
Which corner? The ne corner I think is now apart of that jail, the nw used to be a car dealership for a while, the se corner I think was a drive thru chain for a while....
@@jarontaliman1 It was near the southwest corner. Gas station on the corner and then my dad's DQ. After AZ DQ ran it into the ground, it became a car lot, later a Mexican restaurant and I haven't stopped by there in 5-6 years, but I understand the building has since been torn down. Back in its heyday, the Kon Tiki hotel was across the street and the AZ mental hospital on the northeast corner. I can't remember what was on the southeast corner though.
I like how your wife is quality control. Keep you straight! Love this
I appreciate that...most people tell me to have her shut up etc...ahahahha we are a team and she has a whole different prospective than I do and helps me stay straight...cheers
This was pretty cool, I'll have to give this burger a try on my Blackstone.
Bottomings are better than toppings. Keeps the burger more stable while eating.
Brought back memories! Around here Dairy Queen and A & W were our fast food places to go.
hahahahah Hey we have the A and Ws as well...been at least 20 years since...heck i wonder If we still have em..
@@TheFlatTopKing As of 11/09/2023 there were 482 restaurant locations in the US. California leads with 59 locations followed by Wisconsin and Michigan.
@@floydhammond1461 Ha! my dad owned an A&W as well, though his true love was the DQ. For those old AZ'ers like me, it was on Indian School road. When my wife and I visited Napa a few times, one of the existing restaurants is located there and we would always visit it.
I laugh and learn from you both!! Always great videos! Thanks Neil!
The Flat Top King meets Dairy Queen. Good job, King.
hahahha
The ole fashioned way is lettuce, tomato pickles and onions to keep your bottom bun from getting saturated with juice from your burger. That’s just how it was and still works. I KNOW. BECAUSE I DID IT. great job on it.
try putting the tomatoes on the bottom bun first and then the beef with cheese,
lettuce , onions and pickles and top bun.
Omg!!!! Have to try this out for sure!
Absolutely
Pound Sand made me laugh out loud big time.
He didn't pay royalties on food sales! hahaha!
hahahah I agree...sounds just like something I would say...
I actually buy the precut salad mix which has about 10% cabbage in it and use it for my burgers, fish, and shrimp. The wife is growing kale. I even add it because it is a super food. Now as far as these people that don't like the healthy vegetables on the bottom, well tell them to flip the burger over and the healthy vegetables will be on top. "I'll be here all week". On another note when I was 10 years old I was cutting neighbors yards making $2.00 per yard, yea, you read it right $2.00. My mom owned an Arts and Craft store. It was on the corner of the main street with a side street and a bridge. There was a bayou behind her shop. When you crossed the bridge and came to the light there was a Dairy Queen across that road. During the summer I would go with her to her shop and help out. Every afternoon I would ask her if I could go out back and look at fish in the bayou. Little did she know I actually would walk to the Dairy Queen and buy something. Usually it was their ice cream cone. It was 25 cents. Today you can't even get just the cone for 25 cents. Man, the memories from a video, gotta love it. Great Job!
holy smokes...you ain't wrong...bell peppers at our local grocery store is $2 a peice...I know thats crazy....
That's a pretty neat story especially because I live about four hours from Phoenix in AZ. Hamburger came out pretty good. Next time l make a hamburger🍔 l will put the patty on top. Enjoy your day👍,.
I’m going to have to try it that way! Looks delicious!
Hope you enjoy
Made this again for Sunday dinner with steak fries. Seasoned it with Smash That and that was one great burger. Thanks for sharing!!
thats awesome....thank you...
Thanks for making this. It was great to hear a bit of local history too👍😊
Glad you enjoyed it Bobbi...
Once again. You guys are awesome.
Memories 🎶 Great video. TY.
Absolutely
Looks good, can’t beat a good burger and I like the chili sauce idea. I will be giving this one a try
I asked my dad about the Chili sauce and how he came up with the idea to use it instead of ketchup. He told me when growing up on the farm, that's what his mom used! It added a little something. Dang I miss those burgers!
Great story and great burger. I’d smash that any day!
So good!
Thank you for sharing.
I mix up where the toppings go depending on my mood, but always prefer pickles on top.
Awesome burger Neal! Great to hear some of your fmaily history. - Cheers!
It's funny, watching this in saying in my head "that's not but you do it" but stopping to think. This is not my burger. This is the way someone made an iconic burger and people loved it. It might be my way, but everyone can do what they like with food. I loved this, very nice interesting video
Amen....appreciate that....cheers
Good video, enjoyed seeing a different version and I guess a famous version of the classic American burger!
loved the history!! always loved a DQ burger!
Absolutely
You are right. Flavor profiles wanted is always how you stack So the tongue taste buds layer the flavors up through the bit. Very enjoyable Video Sir.
Right on!
Nice cook! Gotta be a good burger.
That looks delicious and took me back down memory lane. Thanks for sharing and enjoy those yummylicious burgers.
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved the DQ history and the burger looks great. Gonna try it. Thanks for another great video.
TY
I run two dqs so I love this video
Hey thats awesome....cheers...do you know this story
This was so neat. Love the story behind the burger. Thanx for doing it justice.😎👍
Absolutely....cheers
Outstanding job bringing back a true CLASSIC Brotha ✊🏼🧐! Set me up with a Double burg please 😉👌! Shoot all i need is some rings or fries and it’s a RAP! And maybe a blizzy for dessert to boot 🤷🏻♂️, but I’m good with just the burg. Great episode, Cheers y’all 👊🏼😎🤙🏼
Thanks Mike...cheers
Great backstory and food history is amazing 100%
I enjoy all your podcasts and you’ve help me become quite the flat iron chef!
Our pleasure!
I like the look of the little bit of the purple cabbage added to the lettuce
My mother had a Dairy Queen in 1956, and she decided to sell burgers because we lived in Eunice, NM, a small town in the oil field of NM. Dairy Queen revoked her franchise because Dairy Queen was only an ice cream shop.
Thats awesome Pop...didnt know that...cheers
A good looking burger! I remember DQ burgers. Stopped getting them when the one near where I lived switched to imitation cheese. May have to make this. As far as that red cabbage you can alway make some German Blaukraut!
Absolutely...thinking about doing pulled pork egg rolls...
@@TheFlatTopKing that sounds like a great combination!
What a great story and to see it come back to life on your griddle is fantastic. This looks exceptional and how can you not enjoy the history of a great burger with every bite including the cabbage. A great video!!
Hey thanks bud...cheers
Thanks for the Days gone Past of the DQ burger. Enjoyed the videos and both of your comments. Fred.
Our pleasure!
Love it. Very cool story 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent job honoring an old recipe Neal! Definitely
Would order 2 to go . Cheers brother 🍻✌🏻
Awesome, thank you!
Stick to the recipe, don't change it. Always a crowd pleaser. Unique. Folks ask "how to" all the time. Nobody expects the cabbage, sets it apart. Again, we enjoy both channels, y'all have great stuff. Big love from lower NE Ohio.
Can't go wrong with this one !
Love it, would cook the burgers at a much higher temp. But I'd eat that all day too
Fantastic!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I lived in the Midwest going through high school and have gone to DQ many times, I’m not sure I’ve ever had their burger, mostly sundaes …hahaha… the burger looks great, I agree with Amy, I like the idea of a little cabbage for extra crunch. Great story… thanks for sharing!
Absolutely
That looks amazing but my smell-a-vision is not running right now. Wish I could have smelled it. Keep doing what you and your wife are doing. Thanks for all you and your wife are doing for us.
burger topping setup is straight outta bizarro world.
Never seen this before but I would try it.
Matt's Show Notes:
1.Simple is best.
2. Always wrap and stand! This is such an underestimated move!
3. I'm definitely Pro-Bottom toppings!
4. Mayo and cabbage belong on burgers.
5. Kisses sweet thing! (and, Amy too)
Couldn't agree more! hahahaha
This is a good video guys that E mail was from that guys heart .( Thats awesome ) THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......
Thanks Frank...
Looks great Neal. I grew up on Dairy Queen but it was way after the start. lol. Keep um coming. GBO.
Thanks! Will do!
Nice video. I live near one of the first DQ's. Not one of the first DQ's in my area but one of the first DQ's opened. Today, it is still a DQ not a DQ Chill n Grill shop. Closed in the winter months. Never been a fan of their burgers. I had one many years ago. I was not the foodie guy I am now but thought it was just a frozen patty cooked on a flat top. Nothing I can't do at home. Now days they are trying to up their game in a the burger game and making them with fresh beef and flavoring them with I think Steak Sauce. They seem delicious. I need to give them a try.
Very cool...cheers
6.00 for a red cabbage? You gotta be kidding me! They're 2.31 here and I thought that was high. The DQ burger looked absolutely awesome! DQ is still one of the best fast food/ice cream places around. Most of the others have really gone downhill.
Yeah...crazy for sure....
All the time I spent with my grand parents in east Texas, Sulphur Springs to be exact, I took many trips down the street from their house to DQ. Great video. Brings back so many memories
I loved seeing the DQ Brazier burger. Looked awesome I am with Kim. I would miss the blizzard.
Awesome....
@@bobbibowes7886Blizzards came much later after 1977, though we did make milkshakes that were nearly as thick as a Blizzard. In terms of "events" my favorite annual event was the banana split sale. Over 3-days, we would crank out at least 3,000 of them. You couldn't even walk in the back room because we had bananas stacked floor to ceiling everywhere! My sister and I came across a newspaper ad for $0.35 cent banana splits. It was probably mid to late 60's that my dad had in his memorabilia. Pretty cool stuff!
Yum!!! Thanks for another fantastic recipe. I have a library of great recipes from your channel and a few other griddle channels. After going back and forth on which flat top griddle to purchase, i decided on non of the above. Too lazy to keep cast iron clean and seasoned to the extent required and too timid to make the leap for ceramic coating i finally decided on a LeGriddle built in 30in propane griddle🥳 The cleaning and seasoning will be so much easier. I am keeping all your great recipes and many thanks for them. My new LeGriddle will be here in approximately 1 week. Cannot wait!
Hey thats awesome....stainless is legit...keep me updated on yours...
If you think about the toppings on the bottom and where your taste buds are located in reality makes pretty good sense to me....I typically put my cheese on the bottom of my burger. Personal preference though. To be judged via your topping placement or to not be judged that is the question lol. Jeez people.
ahahahha true...just absolute hate ...its crazy what sets people off
You have...NO HAT!! Is this like Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit? Do you only take your hat off....for...one thing?😂😂
hahahahahaha
Looks great, now craving a burger at 0630
hahha
Love It Guys! These Old School Burgers Are So Good! Check Out Daly`s Resturant Or Bates In Both Livonia Michigan For Some Killer Burgers
I will....thanks
As a kid, my local DQ had something called a pizza burger. If memory serves me right, Patty was sweet italian sausage, with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. loved it
Awesome...we have something like that as well...cheers
In Oklahoma all toppings were on the bottom. A few years ago Sonic began putting toppings on top
😂 Five Guys also has toppings that are required to go on the bottom bun, and last I checked they are fairly successful. Anyone that would take the time to throw you under the bus, or unsubscribe over burger condiment placement is....... special. Bless their hearts.
Its embarrassing for sure...just the pure hate that makes me laugh....
I always ask for extra pickles so that I get one in every bite.
True....my youngest is the same way...extra pickles on everything
Cool story. I would like to see y'all do more copy cat recipes like classic stuff. Big Mac your version, cheesy gordita crunch from taco bell, mcgriddle sandwiches etc.
Yeah im on board...thanks
if you know Culver's they put the toppings on the bottom bun as well
oohhh we do...just amazing what people say and think...it doesn't matter how much we defend ourselves etc...if they think we are wrong we are wrong...regardless of the proof
@@TheFlatTopKing lol yep got to love the troll's
Toppings on the bottom…………..Bottomings???
Love your channel 👍🏻
hahahahah Cheers
I bet your burger is 10 times better than anything they make now 😋
hahahah Na...you got this...easy peasy
Love your videos .I'm from maine
Hey that’s awesome. Truly appreciate that
Top Notch Burger! 🍔 And, I'm on board with the "BOTTOMINGS" 😂
hahahahaha
I love that you always respond to comments. It shows the commitment to your fans, but I never expect to get one considering you've got a life outside of replying to everyone comment. I'm glad you made this video based on a comment and it was cool to hear the history behind it.
When I started....only a few subs here and there...i thought WOW...someone actually took time out there day to comment....since then I have made a commitment as much as possible to respond back...both good and bad...Same thing on my Seasonings and merch...every single order gets a hand written thank you...
@@TheFlatTopKingIt's why I love you buddy!
Nothing like dairy queen burgers in east texas patties are pre made and boiled they when ordered put on grill for a couple minutes.
That looks awesome. I can't seem to do the leaner hamburger anymore. It seems too dry in my mouth. I've switched to 75% and that seems palatable for me. Perhaps someone knows what's going on there.
I so love that your wife is filming and participating. She is a great addition to your videos.
I agree with you on the fat ratio, but being that it wasn't smashed at all, it really worked. Form the burger in a ring mold 1/2 in larger than the bun. Season liberally, and when it starts to juice up, flip it. Pull the bottom bun and when you get it dressed up the top is done. You'll be surprised just how juicy it is. I know because I probably ate 8,000 of them :)
Well we appreciate that...really do...cheers
Cool video! For anyone interested in food history, there’s a series called “The Food that built America” from the History Channel that is really fun to watch.
Absolutely
I wonder if putting the condiments on the bottom helps to reduce burger slippage when taking a bite.
When I did it..i was more thinking about all the juice from the burger making the bottom bun soggy...im sure like most things their are advantages and disadvantages...one person was saying how bad of an idea this is because the way we eat...it enters the mouth different....heck who really knows...
Nice little burger. Chilli sauce and cabbage, who new
agreed...fun to hear the story and recreate the burger..cheers and griddle on Bruno..
Have you got a link to your burger press?
On my website..theflattopking.com/
we are currently out but have some bacon presses leftover
Hey Boss, I'm not picking nits here, but it was Braizer, not Blazer. 😊 Keep up the excellent work guys.
haahhaha You are correct....told ya I cant speak clearly...
Nah, you do a great job. Keep up what you're doing . Love both of your channels.
good vid dood!!!
Thanks Harry
You had to work fast food the way you wrapped that burger in the paper. I'm 59 and still know the way from 3 years at Burger Chef!
hahaahha
Burger Time! 😋
Why chili sauce I wonder? I don’t think the DQ where I grew up put that on it.
Absolutely no clue...
My dad was off the grid in terms of what DQ came up later in their Brazier concept. I replied to another post, and the simple answer is it's what his mom put on burgers when he was a kid, so that's what he liked.
Hola! What "chef" knife do you recommend??
tough question...are you Japanese or German style steel...want a whole set to match or only one knife..price plays a huge part..colors and length...alot goes into that answer...i do have the knives I use listed below...I aslo have a dedicated knife video that explains my thoughts on knives and why I use what I use
@@TheFlatTopKing Thank you. I will watch your knife video.
👍👍
I like the mushroom and Swiss burgers they have at the Dairy Queen on this side of town the other two Dairy Queen’s in town are not very good
Interesting...you would think they would be the same...
A little more Dairy Queen culinary history. Texas DQ’s have a different menu such as belt buster hamburger, chicken fried steak sandwich and crunchy tacos since DQ sold a master franchise for the state. DQ purchased the master franchise around 1980 but the stores refused to change the menu. DQ has 2 apps for the US.
Interesting..definitely didnt know that..
@@TheFlatTopKing I discovered the different menus when I ordered a steak finger basket at an Ohio DQ.
👍👍👍👍👍❤️
Karma? He's making a DQ burger and now an ad for DQ comes on the TV. Big Brother?
I live in Phoenix, Arizona, and not too far from that street location that was mentioned; about an 18-minute drive. Thanks for sharing the gentleman’s story. The burger looked fantastic, by the way. 😋
Thanks for commenting...thats awesome so close...cheers
If the toppings belong on the top just eat it upside down.
ahhahaha i agree....someone said that ruins the mouth feel...hahaha people
Do you Deliver?
Always put toppings on bottom
heck yeah
Great video as always guys! Check out Greg’s channel called Ballistic Burgers. He recreates copycat burgers from restaurants. There’s just something cool about the history of burgers! Love it and thanks again!!
Thanks! Will do!
I love his channel too. Classic burgers and dogs. Great stuff!
Have you ever done a 5Guys burger. Would like to see that.
I have not...thanks for the idea
The “original smash burger “?
Not that I am aware of...this technology was not smashed...pre formed
@@TheFlatTopKing so maybe pressed so as to be 1/2” larger then the bun? A pre-smash burger
@@ericmoorehead1100 that’s the way I understand the instructions
@@TheFlatTopKingI'll clarify. The burgers were about 5" in diameter from his meat processor. Neal, I should have told you to ring mold it!! They were pretty thin, and cooked relatively fast.
who would order a burger at Dairy Queen ?
After every Saturday win in our undefeated 1971 Pop Warner football season, our coaches took me and all my 10-11 year old teammates to our local DQ for burgers, fries and shakes. We won the Seattle City Championship that year. Those coaches ended up spending a few bucks! Good memories of good, old-fashioned food (and football!).
The DQ was in White Center (Rat City) for those of you in the know...
Even modern DQ's are on par with five guys, shake shack, smashburger, etc. For me the question is why would anyone order a burger from McD's or BK?!
thats what its all about...cheers
The toppings/condiments on the bottom totally ruin it for me. It totally changes the textures in your mouth and how it affects one’s palate. Back in the day I used to go to Subway and all of the toppings were put on top of the meat, now they’re underneath the meat. Totally changed it for me. I like to feel the crunch of the lettuce etc soon as I bite into the bread, not after I’ve bitten all the way through the sammie.
Trust me, it worked. My son's a bottom hater as well, but it's a classic so you can't mess with history.
Flip it upside down>???
@@TheFlatTopKing one could do that but why try and reinvent the wheel when it’s been done the same way for decades?
@@richardedwin5980 but thats your opinon..plenty of successful restaurants spread all over the country do it like this...i laugh because I could care less how one or a company builds their burger....Look how successful 5 guys is...look at in and out burger...look at Culvers...all extremely successful....all toppings on bottom
Fun story, but you might want to do some research.
We did...whats up...
