You did an excellent presentation of Tommy's fare, they also have five other burger configurations as well as a Chili Tamale, a breakfast sandwich and a breakfast burrito. They give extra chili if you request it. They will hold the mustard or the chili also if you want. Truly a southern California institution. All family owned, no franchises. The person cooking the burger hears you give the order and the food is ready by the time you get your change. Realy fast food.
Well stated. Having a Tommy's nearby is quite a treat. The one restaurant that proves quality and service are still king.
Btw, more content to come... I Iove this place!
Glad I found your channel. You are very humorous 😅 I love that you teach us how to make our favorite fast food. I never would have thought to bake a hot dog! Great tip 👍 Happy to be a new subscriber.
Thanks and welcome to the channel. I have a lot more stuff to make so stay tuned!
I watched a video of Tommy's chili last night and that recipe was made a little different. They had a jalapeño that was also chopped up fine with the carrot. Theirs had different seasonings and barley flour. The flour was also toasted in a dry pan before mixing with water. And left to simmer for an hour stirring occasionally. No wait time for eating. He said that recipe was the closest to Tommy's that he has tried.
Tommy's stopped making their own chili several years ago. There is an "original" recipe and the new recipe. I was trying to recreate the original from the 1940s and '50s. That was greek chili and had very little Latin influence. The modern chili has a ton of Latin ingredients.
Going to cook this chili next week! I hate cooking but I miss my Tommy's Burger visits when I lived in Los Angeles for 48 years and now living in Seattle so I need to get it right 👍 I hope to repost my results
I think you are going to love it. Just give it time to rest before you dig in. That seems to make all the difference.
Got the chili in the fridge for the 24 hours wait for tomorrow taste test !!
@@chrisgruse3564how was it
@@Football7706 not Tommy's :( but hopefully try again and if anyone can find the real recipe of world famous Tommy's burgers 🍔 I will love to fine to help with me being away in Seattle Washington so far from a Tommy's
Now i take my son to the local Tommy's that has weekly promotions and specials . Thanks for posting this , we will try to make it . Though when they have the chili 32z on promotion for $7.99 its easy to buy 3 and freeze 2
Yup. Looks like Original Tommy's chilli. Yummy. Oh and by the way, I do cook my hot dogs in the oven. I also cook my Italian sausages in the oven, when I make Italian sausage, onion, and bell pepper sandwiches or pasta etc... I just jabb the skins with a fork, so they don't break, I cook them at 375 for about a half hour or so, but yeah, it works great. Thank you for sharing your video ❤❤❤
My Favorite and most delicious chili burgers 😍😋❤
Cant wait to try this! How about some cupids hotdog chili? For some reason no one even comes close they all use hormel as the base.
I'm not familiar with Cupid's Chili. I have been eating Tommy's since high school so I had some experience there. I will look up Cupid's and see if I can find some info. Thanks for the comment!
Mmmm chilli burger and hotdogs
Those look delicious! I suspect I gained about a pound, just watching you assemble them. I often do dogs and brats in the convection oven, and it crisps them up, nicely. I suspect one o' them air-fryer thingies would do so, too, but I don't have one.
I lost a couple of pounds just making this video. Don't worry, I found it almost immediately. My wife wolfed down that chili dog like it owed her money! Air Fryer is a great idea for cooking dogs. I also do not have one and my kitchen is maxed out for stuff... Some day!
The food tips are great, but the video narrative and story telling is awesome
What spices are you adding besides the carrots and hamburger
The recipes are always in the description, below the title. Look for the '...more' link and click that.
Somehow I can not find the description for the seasonings.
Just under the title is a link labeled more. Once that is open you will need to find the read more link and click that. That should show you the recipe.
I'm starting with the hot dog. But, I want it all. Good job.
Thank you so much. Their chili makes the best chili dogs, period!
A great and cleaner! way haha to get the ground beef really fine is to start cold and pour your liquid over it and work it with your hands.
That is how most "diner chili" is made and it makes great chili. This chili is a bit darker so I was trying to toast the spices before the water went in. The "meat mashers" you can get on Amazon or other places work great too.
I grew up in my party years going to the original Tommy's shack , after a night of clubbing in Hollywood in the 70s and 80s . We went to Rodney's B's for the latest English and Punk . Also the On Club for local reggae bands like Small Axe and Ital Roots . Then at 1:30 am to 3:00 am we would hang out eating Tommy's burgers and fries and a canned soda . The only bad thing is that the people were all different and didn't socialize or talk too much to each other
I spent too many nights seeing bad hair metal bands (and a few great ones) in the early to mid 80's in Hollywood. Seems like a distant dream now. How did that world exist. How did it turn into this one?
Wasn’t there either a pickle or a jalapeño on the fries? It’s been 40 years…..but I recall the best ever chile tamale with something sour and green on it. Delish!
Maybe. I have no idea. I didn't get a Tommy's near me until 10 years ago or so. It has changed a lot, even since then....
They have yellow chili peppers, but you have to ask for them
Yessss those yellow Chilli peppers are sooo good with it.
do you use 70/30 beef?
70/30 would work great, if you can find it. 80/20 works too but you don't want to go any leaner than that. Fat is not just for flavor in this. The recipe needs enough fat to get the correct consistency.
Their chili sausage breakfast sandwich is bomb!
Wow I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so openly hate on mustard. The top sandwich condiment there is to be had.
What can I say. I have to be me and me hates Must-turd! 🙃
I know LOTS of people who aren’t fans of “must-turd”. To each his own!!
Tommy's chili is fucking fire 🔥 thanks!!!
Mmm ima see if this tastes just like it but it's so damn gooooooooooood
Great video. I've watched quite a few Tommy's copycat videos, and the results always look too chunky... I think you got the closest. I've eaten and analyzed enough Tommy's chili to know the meat had to be minced to really get it right. One of the other videos took the cooked meat out and made a dark roux with the fat and masa, then added the meat back, but he didn't mince it. I'm going to try putting the cooked meat in the blender and making the dark roux at that point.
Thanks for your comment. You have a good eye. Getting the meat small enough really is key. It changes the texture and even taste of the chili. I finally got a "Meat Masher" off Amazon and that makes breaking up the meat really easy. No need to blend or chop it. $8 well spent!
Creating a roux is very important but there are a couple of ways to do it. "Diner" chili, and that is the style of Tommy's, can be done in the meat (as I did) or separately, as you described. A lot of times people will make a "slurry" and add that to the meat after the water or stock goes in. Masa is very different from wheat flour (ap flour) and is generally used to make a slurry (a little liquid mixed with the masa) and will thicken the chili further. It is also used to soak up the extra fat and adds silkiness to the chili. This is why Tommy's seems to use it. Others will use oat flour for the same reason but that is tasteless compared to masa. You can't really make a true roux with anything but flour. The gluten and such react with the fat and build the structures that thicken sauces and chili. Use a 1/4 cup of drained fat and the flour to make the roux and add the masa to the meat to absorb the rest of the fat. Should turn out great!
Almost! A finely minced jalepeno goes in with the carrot. HOWEVER, THE KEY INGREDIENT that makes the real deal what it is: MEXICAN CHORIZO SAUSAGE. The chorizo not only gives the unique sweet spicy twang but imparts the beautiful and distinctive orange grease. Not the real deal without the orange grease.
The great debate about the actual recipe goes on. There are a few things to keep in mind. Which era? The ORIGINAL 1947 recipe? The 1970's recipe? Or the current recipe? Tommy's no longer makes their own chili. They purchase it from RC Provisions. www.rcprovision.com/chili/ That version has no Jalepeno and no Chorizo in it. The 1947 recipe was a version of Greek Chili and is the one most people think of when they talk about Original Tommy's chili. Many people say they changed the recipe somewhere in the early 1970s and that recipe was much more "texas chili". Perhaps that version did have the items you mentioned but they quickly ditched it and started buying it, instead of making it in house. I was trying to make the 1947 recipe...
@@howtocooke Yup, guess I'm stuck in 1970s L.A. Other than the air quality it was the finest place/time ever! What a wonderous place it was. How it, like Tommy's Chili, has changed (read: really gone to sh*t)... Sad,,,
Have you tried to duplicate Wienerschnitzel chili?
I have not worked on that video yet. Hotdog Chili is a special thing and I will be certainly going into this very soon! Thanks for the comment and suggestion. I love it!
Why would anybody want to duplicate that garbage?
Weinerschnitzel chili is or was very close to the chilito chili. Wolf brand no beans is very close. A pinch if msg and mustard makes it super close imo. Ive tried many copy cats but cant hit the mark@@howtocooke
this guy funny looks good
$25 Tommys wants for their #1 combo . 1 burger fries and a drink $25
That's Insane! Good thing you now know how to make it yourself for a heck of a lot less!
Really? I was at the one in Monrovia two days ago and it was under $20! The #1 IS a double cheeseburger and their most expensive combo as I recall...Of course our sales tax in Monrovia is 10.25% so THAT adds up...I did notice the tamale( which I normally get) was up to aot $8- and I remember when they were under $2!!! Or is $25 the Uber Eats pricing?
did you just nuke the bowl of chili the day after or reheated on a stove?
It went back on the stove on low until it started to simmer. Give it a stir and let it heat another 10min or so and then it's ready to use.
@@howtocooke Thank you sir, I've got all the ingredients ready for tomorrow! cheers from Texas.
Your dog wants some
My dogs are so spoiled...
Good but not as thick as Tommy’s. What did I do wrong
I'm not sure. I wasn't there. When and how you add the thickeners makes a huge difference. Maybe that was it?
You can't do a Tommy's video if you don't eat mustard! It's sacrilege! Seriously though good video. Wish you had made it 5 years ago.
No cumin powder. I was told that makes chili.
You are correct but remember this was a greek chili recipe from 1948. I doubt they knew what cumin was.
@@howtocooke They knew what Masa was. And yes, Greeks use cumin in their cooking. You also left out a couple of spices, and you should add your spices in when you double grind the beef, toasted ,if you want. I used to work for a Greek chef back in the 60's.
@@howtocooke i never tasted any cumin in it. I use dried minced onions instead of powder. I also use more masa and liquid for more gravy.
You can bake or FRY a hotdog too.
The Ripper Dog! Forgot to mention frying a dog. They are amazing! I would say if you are going to fry a hotdog to not shallow fry them in a frying pan like I did the fries. Some dogs get a bit "energetic" and hot oil splashing around tends to catch fire and burn your house down. Use a tall sided pot if you are frying dogs for the first time. Thanks for the comment!
@@howtocooke In butter and olive oil.
@@howtocooke I did one in a skillet. I did not have the heat way up. I use ball park beef ones too.
@@rebelstudio2720 If you use good quality hot dogs it works great. The cheap ones have higher fat content that can get 'energetic' when they are fried.
Too lazy to make this good thing I live in LA.
Lazy dude doesn't know about Mexican Tomy's because he ain't from LA.
Wtf? I didn't make the tamales and now I'm lazy?
I have a trick to pulverize hamburger meat if anyone reponds to this comment
I'd love to hear that trick.
Followed your recipe to the letter….. sorry to say it’s NOT like Tommy’s.
Tommy's stopped making their own chili a while back and changed the recipe.
Switched off after 28 seconds of....stick to eating...
Thank you so much. A fat joke! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get with it stop talking so much
👍 I know and I'm sorry. I have been working on it and my therapist says I'm making great progress, when I stop talking long enough to actually let him speak of course...
Your rude he's doing fine glad he made this video if you yvonneperalta335 don't like it then don't watch it buzz off.....
