Let me answer my own question - Steve Hall. Passed away in 2018. I am very sorry. I just arrived, and heck, it is a nice (small) consolation that he left all these warm, pleasant videos as his legacy.
Never have I ever watched cooking videos that were longer than 3 minutes! But you, kind sir, have a pretty addictive channel!!!! I'm binge watching your videos!
I was about to say how cute this man is! Then read the comments to find he passed....so sad. Condolences. He was absolutely adorable. I will make these burgers and think of him
Did Shotgun Red pass away? If so, that is very bad news because he was an excellent cook and a great video maker and entertainer. I've enjoyed watching him for quite some time now and It just sucks to that bad things happen to good people. God bless
i WAS also a driver and I did the same thing! It would be fun to compare spots. All those great places i see on Dinners-DriveIns and dives--god how I wish we could have parked at them.Every town had great mom and pop kind of places but alas no parking. remember brown paper sacks of shrimp and crayfish in LA. brisket by the pound in TX, tamales N.M. and AZ etc etc
My little place is quite rural but it serves as a straight pass from east to west in Central, NH. Went Trucker friendly and it was a great decision. We only have a handful of trucks at any given time but it has proven good for business and the community. I've learned that after a long drive any meal is welcome and appreciated..... you serve someone something that is actually delicious and affordable you'll make friends for life. And out of the few thousand that come through we have encountered maybe 2 or 3 wierdos. You find five times that at the local Walmart all day every day. Truckers.... good hard working people.
So happy to see you use real butter. I grew up on a farm in Ohio and my dad got so mad at mom for using oleo once! Real butter, real milk and real cheese! Mmmmmm😋
I'm really glad you turned the comments on, Sheila. I found your and Steve's videos early last year and even though I don't know you personally, I was devastated by Steve's passing. He was one of a kind and a genuine soul. I love your new videos but still take comfort in the fact that I can still watch Steve. Take care.
We are from British Columbia and last summer we travelled fairly extensively around northern Wisconsin and kept seeing restaurants advertising "butter burgers". We didn't get a chance to stop at a restaurant due to traveling with our dog and so missed out trying one, however now we can make our own! Thanks!
I go to this channel to figure out stuff. In addition, he did good job with all his work. All though he has passed he is still part of all of my family's heart, and probably all other's.
I like the idea of the cheese over the onions. Helps to keep the burger under control and not so messy when eating. A great tip I will always remember. Thanks red.
If my Mom (born in Milwaukee) was alive today, she would be 97. She started going to Solly's Grille at age 14 (opened in 1936), and when our family and extended family visited Milwaukee our first go to was Solly's Grille. This has turned out to be a family favorite including my Mom's grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Solly's is a must if you visit or are driving through Milwaukee. Next family favorite In'Out Buger in CA.
Me and my hubby just found this channel and fell in love with Reds recipes! I'm saddened to hear he passed. He was an awesome man. God bless his beautiful family!
He sure loves cooking. I love this UA-cam channel. Shot Gun Red is, just full of love, positive energy and down to earth human being that has a passion for cooking. I love it! Keep making more videos, I'm a fan of this channel.
Hello Ron! So glad you are here with us. Sorry to say Steve passed away December 29th 2018. Before he passed he had made 307 recipes fore this channel! He would have LOVED to know how you appreciate his cooking show.
My condolences, I just started watching a month ago and he's such a down to earth human being, so sad, love watching him cook. A fan from Nova Scotia. RIP Steve
I was born in Ohio and this guy took me back home during this video. I've been on the West Coast since 1985 and when he described a bar/night club as a beer joint at 17:02 it made me smile. Had not heard a bar described like that in YEARS! God bless your soul Red!
Just caught the title of this video on the sidebar as I was watching something else. I grew up in Whitefish Bay and Solly's was my Mom's, who was a fabulous "from scratch" baker and cook, favorite place to eat. We always had to go there when we went home. They are truly the best burgers. After she passed, we rented the restaurant on a Sunday night and had a wake for her with all of her friends from the area. And I just happen to have the Packer grille flipper from the video that was a present from my wife's daughter and son-in-law. Then to top it all off, I moved to Nashville 20 years ago so have that in common with Shotgun Red and love to ride Harleys. Sorry to read of his passing. It is truly a small world....
Steve Hall made the ordinary extraordinary, the mundane something magical, a great talent, he will be missed. And I loved his good ol boy country cookin! May his memory, and this channel, live on for ever!
I am saddened to learn Shotgun Red has passed on! I am going to enjoy his recipes, this Butter Burger is definitely a must. God bless each and everyone of you 🙏
He just brought back me home! I am from Madison and I eat butter on everything! I live in South Carolina now and there thing is Dukes Mayonnaise. I still eat butter on my hot dogs buns, PB & J, everything! Thanks for bringing the awesomeness of my beautiful hometown! Go Packers! I will always will be a Wisconsinite, Badger and a Packer fan. I fell in love with the Vikings when Brett Farve played for them.
That is awesome Brenda! You are so welcome! We love butter also. We spread butter on hamburger buns before mayo or like Sloppy Joes so the juice doesn't seep through the bread and make it fall apart.
SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANTS - order a Butter Burger Kit. Kenneth "Solly" Salmon had his cooks put the buns in an extra wide toaster set to a very light brown, today it would be a Bagel Toaster. And sear the meat on a really hot grill, they would not touch it until burger would begin to split the flat patty in the middle. Then they'd use a scraper to scrape all the good stuff right down to the grill. Cook for maybe 20-30 seconds on the back side, place it on the bun with about 2 T's of soft butter. It would be served immediately, that's why they only had counter seating. Your first bight was the best before the butter was fully melted. MMMMM......Goooood Been eating these since 1962.
A quote from a chef's recipe, "Time to Baste, the key to next-level steak flavor is butter (the answer to every question is always butter). spooning melted unsalted butter, thyme, rosemary, and garlic over the meat for about 30 seconds ensures a richer flavor and more sophisticated crust as the butter mixture and steak juices mingle".... It's starting to make sense.
Wife showed me a trick to making burger patties like this using a lid from a peanut butter jar wrapped in saran wrap. Grab a ball of meat and press into the lid then just flip it over and shake a little. Falls right out, with perfect edges and even thickness.
These look so good! I just found this channel yesterday, he makes everything look so easy to make! Saddened to learn he passed away, me and my kids just loved Shotgun Red in the 90s. Cool to hear his stories about Wisconsin, that is where I live!!
So glad you found this channel! Yes we miss Steve very much. Steve loved your area very much! There is a video on this channel called History of Shotgun Red. I think you would like it. Also you can type in shotgunred1000 and see a lot of random video’s of Steve out fishing etc...
I’m so sorry for his passing and am making these tomorrow or Monday as we need the buns! Go Pack! Thanks for the shout out from a native Wisconsinite now living in U.P. Michigan but family in Green Bay and Going to Sollys is a must try now. With our daughter and son-in-law next time we go through Milwaukee! TFS! RIP and God Bless your Family!
Just found this awesome channel. Tomorrow is Memorial Day, I can not think of a better meal for me to feed my friends and family for dinner. God bless all those who gave their all for our freedom.
We have butter burgers at Culver's, here in Wisconsin and also in upper Illinois. Super good, and this recipe is terrific! I never knew how to make them, so now....ready to go! :-) Better idea for making round, flat burgers: Go to a thrift store and look for those cookie tins. They have lots, usually, from Christmas, popcorn, cookies and whatnot. I make burgers with either 2-1/2 oz or 4 oz (weighed on a kitchen scale). So I bought two different sizes, based on eyeball view -- one a bit smaller. The important thing is to make sure the inside of the lid is flat! And that there's no imprinted, embossed "something" on that lid. Sometimes the lid is bowed a little, like a super shallow bowl. Don't buy that! Flat metal, flat lid, no weird bumps. When I found the right sizes for our buns, based on weights, I used a Sharpie, marked the numbers on the inside of the lid, and threw away the can. If I'm making a typical diner-type burger -- very thin, fast cook -- I use the smaller 2.5 oz lid. Lay a piece of plastic wrap in there, as a "remover lift," somewhat smoosh the burger ball into like a flying saucer, then just use your fingers and palm to make it a) flat, and b) get to the outer lid edge. You'll see how high an edge you prefer. If you don't like the first purchase, just keep an eye out and buy the right lid next time. When you've got the burger right, lift it out of the lid with the plastic wrap. I usually cut some wax paper squares and lay one on top of the burger in the lid, then pull up the plastic and flip the burger onto the wax paper. You can use the same plastic repeatedly. When you're done, you just toss the plastic, and there's no need, really, to wash the lid. You can if you're a germophobe -- up to you. Perfect, flat, round burgers, weighed exactly, with no extra cut off the edges from the bowl. The lids go in a little sandwich bag, ready for the next burger night.
In my home town we have a fair every summer that has this really popular hot dog stand. Their big draw are the mountains of onions they are frying on all sides of the kiosk. Their trick to give the onions a sweet tang is to periodically pour orange soda on. Anyone can do it and it tastes great. I've also tried maple syrup and a very cautious amount of wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
Hi Sheila, I’m so glad you keep Shotgun on UA-cam ❤. First let me say, I’m a HUGE Packer’s Fan like your Hubby was 🎉. Second, I’ve only known that CULVERS is the home of the Butter Burger!! I’m from Illinois and I believe Culver’s came around here about 10+ years ago. I’m so grateful that you shared this video because I’ve learned something, that I’m sure no one really knows!! I really enjoy watching Steve share his cooking!! I have made several of his recipes. God Bless you Always 💕🙏🙏
Hello from Milwaukee! Butterburgers are awesome! Had a Solly's burger a couple of times and even though I don't like onions I ate those and had no issues.
Sorry to hear that this great man passed away 😢! I have found this channel 2 days ago, thanks to him I have learned how to cook franch fries proper way!!!
Kroll's East hamburgers in Green Bay, WI have been serving butter burgers since 1935, hey it's WI...dairy. I haven't had one since the 80's, but it was pretty good back in those day's.
it was nice to come across this as my mother litteraly grew up in Solly's and so did i and ive made sure to bring all my kids ther as much as pos. even though we left mil
After you put paper above and below the burger. Use a pizza pan and push down and it makes it as thick as you like it. Works great to. That’s how I do them now. If you like thin burgers it’s great because you can get them very thin. I usually take 70 grams of burger mash it down to the size of a MacDonalds burger. (Or thinner) Then add 2-3 patties per burger. You can put onion, cheese, or whatever between layers.
Talk about some memories. I use to stay glued to the TV waiting for shot gun red to pop up on the ralph Emery show. It really takes me back to a simpler time. We will all miss u red
My Daddy always told me "never trust a skinny cook" and now I know what he meant. Shotgun Red, I totally trust you to have the best of the best. Thanks! Your the real deal!
What a great guy! Amazing recipe too. Thanks Shotgun Red and Miss Sheila! I’m subscribing and look forward to making lots of this man’s recipes. God bless you all!
This reminds me of a place in Canton, Ohio that serves their french fries in a bowl with a pad of real butter on top. It melts down into the fries and the taste is unbelievable! It would go so well with the butter burgers! Thanks
This video came up as recommended while I was watching a BBQ Pit Boys video. Checked it out and subbed immediately. I love this man's demeanor and upbeat attitude. Then I read the comments :( I will cook these in his honor. Rest in peace.
I discovered this channel about a year ago and I'm always comin g back! You live on through your awesome food which everyone is making now worldwide! I'm actually eating your pizza from the 2 ingredient base video right now, it's the fifth time I've made it! Cheers Steve x
OMG...Shotgun is gone?💔.....can't believe it....I have just been watching and loving all the recipes these last few months not knowing he is no longer with us...this is so sad....I am so sorry for your loss.....Please keep the videos running he is always so happy and makes cooking so easy....I have fed my family on many recipes from Shotgun....and we just love Miss Sheila.....GOD bless❤
"We're gonna add a quarter cup, no more than that". Proceeds to pore at least a cup. lol I love him! I was so sad to see had passed before I discovered the channel. He's my favorite to watch cook ever!
Steve mentioned lard, my grandma cooked with it all the time it makes some of the best food, I know it's bad for you but I still use it when cooking for myself. I've really come to love this channel, I watch at least 2-3 episodes a day. Rip Steve, gone too early!
Damn that looks good! I'm a 70 year old native Texan and a lifelong Packer fan. The hell with the Cowboys. I'm gonna try making this burger. So sorry to hear another Packer fan is gone, but hope he's hanging with Vince.
Looks good. have to try making one. I was taught to never press the juices out of a burger, but to each his own. This will be my next burger, thanks for posting.
The originator of the butter burger in Milwaukee was the Dutchland Dairy Store back in 1938. Dutchland had the best Custard, Chicken and Sundaes and was in business until 1980. Culvers now follow Dutchland's model.
First time viewer of your channel. I enjoyed this video and hit 'subscribe' right after. You are fun to listen to, and you have a nice relaxed attitude. I love your back drop too. It's fun to look at the items as you are cooking. Thank you from a neighbour to the north in Saskatchewan 😊
Again.. I’m totally amazed by Steve’s great tips&tricks on how to make those edges of the burger patties😱wow..Can’t wait to make these burgers..never had a butter burger..Love u guys🥰
I'm a vegetarian for religious reasons, but I come back to watch Red every now and again because I love his energy (I actually can eat meat but only if it was hunted, not trapped or raised on a ranch, I just don't happen to know anyone who hunts in the big city where I live). I also cook professionally which means I need an arsenal of recipes for meat eaters so there's that too. Thanks for everything you do!
This video showed up in my recommended and so glad that it did. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I subscribed to show my support. Look forward to watching more videos.

What happened to him ? 😥

Let me answer my own question - Steve Hall. Passed away in 2018. I am very sorry. I just arrived, and heck, it is a nice (small) consolation that he left all these warm, pleasant videos as his legacy.
What did Steve die from. I used to be concerned because of his choices of foods! Maybe not the healthiest.
Never have I ever watched cooking videos that were longer than 3 minutes! But you, kind sir, have a pretty addictive channel!!!! I'm binge watching your videos!
Wow, thanks! When Steve passed away he had made 307 videos. Now there is alot more to watch!! 🙂
Thanks, Sheila for keeping Steve's channel going he would be proud of you! and we all miss him
Your so welcome! Couldn’t do it without Jennifer!👩🍳👩🍳
Yaz...he seemed like a total sweetheart.
You know what, this guy seems like a one of a kind. I love his personality and his style. I will enjoy checking out his videos. Rest in peace.
Thank you so much!
Did this gentleman pass away
mark dalton looks like he passed away just a few months after this was published :(
Lloyd Bonafide Miss Sheila is carrying on Steve’s wonderful cooking tradition😋along with longtime friend Jen
I love this man. He is responsible for many of our happy family meals.
I was about to say how cute this man is! Then read the comments to find he passed....so sad. Condolences. He was absolutely adorable. I will make these burgers and think of him
Thank you! He would be glad your going to make them!

My deepest condolences 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Noooo.... He was a legend!

Did Shotgun Red pass away? If so, that is very bad news because he was an excellent cook and a great video maker and entertainer. I've enjoyed watching him for quite some time now and It just sucks to that bad things happen to good people.
God bless
I just found him too. Did not know that!! Had just found a lady cooking from the depression era. She was so sweet to watch, and she is gone too.
What?! I just found this video today :( I had no idea
Just found him today too!!
I would like to send my condolences.
Finally, something positive about my town... I have eaten at solly's my entire life!
Feel bad when I drive past there now and only one car in the lot. :(
Butter burgers are so awesome - especially in Menasha, WI at Mimh’s Charcoal Grill
From Milwaukee too
Is your town known for these burgers?
And your still alive? Lol
When I was a Trucker I would plan my routes around food.
I would always try to get loads that went to Wisconsin, New Orleans, and Texas.
THATS WHAT WE DO WEEKLY !
buns!
i WAS also a driver and I did the same thing! It would be fun to compare spots.
All those great places i see on Dinners-DriveIns and dives--god how I wish we could have parked at them.Every town had great mom and pop kind of places but alas no parking. remember brown paper sacks of shrimp and crayfish in LA. brisket by the pound in TX, tamales N.M. and AZ etc etc

Kroll's East hamburgers in Green Bay, WI have been serving butter burgers since 1935, hey it's WI...dairy. I haven't had one since the 80's, but it was pretty good back in those day's.
they're STILL great!!! eat there everytime I visit my kids in GB
Always has been and always WILL be my favorite burger~!!!!!!!!!
Krolls is way over priced.
I really need to stop watching these in the middle of the night I get so hungry watching these
Thanks for watching!!! :)
it was nice to come across this as my mother litteraly grew up in Solly's and so did i and ive made sure to bring all my kids ther as much as pos. even though we left mil
Great memories!
After you put paper above and below the burger. Use a pizza pan and push down and it makes it as thick as you like it. Works great to. That’s how I do them now. If you like thin burgers it’s great because you can get them very thin. I usually take 70 grams of burger mash it down to the size of a MacDonalds burger. (Or thinner) Then add 2-3 patties per burger. You can put onion, cheese, or whatever between layers.
I’m from WI. I thought everybody made them this way. Yay regional cooking 😃
Thank you John!:)
Everything Steve made was great. Yum Yum Burgers. Miss you, Steve.
Sorry to hear about your loss. I have enjoyed your videos.
Thank you Joyce! :)
Steve Hall is the man should be on the recipe Hall of Fame! Butter burgers hell yeah
Thanks for watching! Sweet comment! :)
Talk about some memories. I use to stay glued to the TV waiting for shot gun red to pop up on the ralph Emery show. It really takes me back to a simpler time. We will all miss u red
Thanks for your sweet memory! :)
My Daddy always told me "never trust a skinny cook" and now I know what he meant. Shotgun Red, I totally trust you to have the best of the best. Thanks! Your the real deal!
Your welcome... Steve passed away Dec 29th 2018
I looove the crispy edges on the bun. Love that first bite crunch. These look so good. 🌷
Thanks Red and Shelia ! You're awesome! Greetings from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
What a great guy! Amazing recipe too. Thanks Shotgun Red and Miss Sheila! I’m subscribing and look forward to making lots of this man’s recipes. God bless you all!
Thank you for subscribing!!!! We so appreciate you!!! Hope you enjoy over 500 of these recipes!!👍😅
This reminds me of a place in Canton, Ohio that serves their french fries in a bowl with a pad of real butter on top. It melts down into the fries and the taste is unbelievable! It would go so well with the butter burgers! Thanks
Sounds great!
3:05 -Add 1/4 cup of chicken broth (to the onions) no more? Where can I get a measuring cup that size. But that's no big deal. Looks amazing .
1/4 cup = 4 Tbsp.
Omg I made this and it was awesome! Hubby loved it didnt need any ketchup or nothing cuz it tastes good with just butter, stewed onions and cheese!
Glad you liked it!!
Thanks for keeping this show still on,I'm still a huge fan ! Of both of you guys . Much love bless you both great show !
Thank you Jack!👩🍳❤️👩🍳
I am crushed 💔, I have been just sitting here in awe. RIP my UA-cam friend and prayers to your family, God Bless!
Thanks for your kind words! :)
This video came up as recommended while I was watching a BBQ Pit Boys video. Checked it out and subbed immediately. I love this man's demeanor and upbeat attitude. Then I read the comments :(
I will cook these in his honor. Rest in peace.
Thanks for subbing!!! :)
I discovered this channel about a year ago and I'm always comin g back! You live on through your awesome food which everyone is making now worldwide! I'm actually eating your pizza from the 2 ingredient base video right now, it's the fifth time I've made it! Cheers Steve x
OMG...Shotgun is gone?💔.....can't believe it....I have just been watching and loving all the recipes these last few months not knowing he is no longer with us...this is so sad....I am so sorry for your loss.....Please keep the videos running he is always so happy and makes cooking so easy....I have fed my family on many recipes from Shotgun....and we just love Miss Sheila.....GOD bless❤
Thank you so much. We miss him. I know he would be so proud knowing his efforts didn't pass away also.
The bottom of a coffee can makes flat burger fast and easy
"We're gonna add a quarter cup, no more than that". Proceeds to pore at least a cup. lol I love him! I was so sad to see had passed before I discovered the channel. He's my favorite to watch cook ever!
And you want to eat like he did?
When did he pass? I just found his channel too.
@@donottakeseriously326 yeah! no sense living life if you're not going to enjoy it.
I thought the same. And the pepper at the beginning. Teaspoons must be massive over there. Still loved the demo though. Gonna give these a go.
Steve mentioned lard, my grandma cooked with it all the time it makes some of the best food, I know it's bad for you but I still use it when cooking for myself. I've really come to love this channel, I watch at least 2-3 episodes a day. Rip Steve, gone too early!
Oh wow James!!! We appreciate you watching! :)
Aloha, nice to hear from Wisconsin, my Dad was born in Shawno. Ain’t been back in a while can’t wait to make these burgers. TY!
Thanks for watching Betty! :)
I'm originally from Milwaukee and have had many Solly burgers. Can't wait to try these!
They are good! :)
I will make these burgers in his honour, and if I ever find myself in Milwaukee, I will definitely check-out Solly’s!👍🏻
I work across the street from Sollie's, food is excellent. breakfast or lunch ..
I just stumbled on this wonderful mans channel and learned he passed. I will honor him through his recipes. Rest in peace.
Thank you so much! :)
Thank you so much! :)
Thank you so much! :)
Damn that looks good! I'm a 70 year old native Texan
and a lifelong Packer fan. The hell with the Cowboys. I'm gonna try making this burger. So sorry to hear another Packer fan is gone, but hope he's hanging with Vince.
Looks good. have to try making one. I was taught to never press the juices out of a burger, but to each his own. This will be my next burger, thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
The originator of the butter burger in Milwaukee was the Dutchland Dairy Store back in 1938. Dutchland had the best Custard, Chicken and Sundaes and was in business until 1980. Culvers now follow Dutchland's model.
First time viewer of your channel. I enjoyed this video and hit 'subscribe' right after. You are fun to listen to, and you have a nice relaxed attitude. I love your back drop too. It's fun to look at the items as you are cooking. Thank you from a neighbour to the north in Saskatchewan 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
RIP, you looked like the actor William Conrad.
So glad I watched this. I love this guy.
So sorry to hear of his passing! My grandpa used to watch Shotgun Red on TV and got a kick out of him. RIP Shotgun Red
Awesome! Our grandparents can leave us with great memories! :)
Again.. I’m totally amazed by Steve’s great tips&tricks on how to make those edges of the burger patties😱wow..Can’t wait to make these burgers..never had a butter burger..Love u guys🥰
Our pleasure!
I'm a vegetarian for religious reasons, but I come back to watch Red every now and again because I love his energy (I actually can eat meat but only if it was hunted, not trapped or raised on a ranch, I just don't happen to know anyone who hunts in the big city where I live). I also cook professionally which means I need an arsenal of recipes for meat eaters so there's that too. Thanks for everything you do!
I only eat once every full and new moon. Would you be my wife for the next new moon feast?
They have veggie burgers at Solly's now. Delicious!
This video showed up in my recommended and so glad that it did. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I subscribed to show my support. Look forward to watching more videos.
Thank you so much for subscribing Clay!!!! :)
Thank you for turning back on comments. Rip Steve we love you
