Excellent video chef! Great instructions on how to make the chilli! Looks tasty!
Thank you so much John!! It definitely was so tasty.
Looks amazing! I can almost smell it!
Dawnee!! Thank you so much. Even more cool I'm so happy to see you stop by my channel and comment on one of my videos. That put a good smile on my face.
Great recipe! Your voice sounds like those professional narrator voices in documentaries lol
Thank you very much!
Looks great!! Even if it’s not 100% the same, since every shack tastes a little different, it looks incredible. Well done!
Agreed 💯 and thank you very much!
[6:47] Hey, you forgot the 1/2'' thick, wide slice of Beefsteak Tomato!
I didn't forget it. I do not like raw tomatoes.
@@TheFoodExperience That's the best part of a Tommyburger.
@@HootOwl513 I usually order mine with extra chili. They will tip it on its side and give a couple more ladle fulls of chili on top. In my opinion, that's the best! Besides the best part for one person differs from person to person.
And onions
@@Oldchurchacct Yeah!
Thank you KJ Andy-O! Great vid 😎👏, LA native here, however temporarily on the E coast and I miss three things, Tommy's, the coastal/inland landscapes of Cali and In-N-Out, lol. Can't wait to try the recipe this weekend 💗 So iyo what is the 10% that is missing? Btw very commending to thank/shout out to the person responsible for the recipe, not a lot of ppl do that nowadays, honest is integrity and integrity is everything!
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for the kind thoughts. Yeah I think it's only right to give credit to who made the recipe. Otherwise in my opinion it is almost like theft. Plus I like to give credit where credit is due. Tommy's is amazing, I totally believe you miss it! In-N-Out Burger is great too. I recently did their double-double animal style recreation. Still needs a little work but I was pretty close. I posted a video for that. This chili is pretty dang close although I will say the chili at Tommy's is a big greasier. It could be due to the fat content in the meat. I used 80/20 ground beef. Thanks again and I hope yours comes out excellent!
Oh yeah I wish I could figure out the 10% that's missing. Could be the extra fat in the meat or perhaps an additional spice that the original poster of the recipe hasn't figured out. But it's close. It's really done close. Just make sure you have the variety of flour in addition to the exact two chili powders. I also believe the carrot in jalapeno is pretty important.
Thank you. Can you list the condiments pls
I'm not sure what you mean. If you are referring to the ingredients you could look in my description and it has a link back to where I got the recipe from.
Good burger man...kj andy o
Thank you so much!
Definitely the closest recipe to actual Tommy’s chili, couldn’t agree more with you tho, Tommy burger does have the best chili. 10x better than the chili from pinks. I usually go to Tommy’s when they have their 2.99 specials. Love getting the chili cheese fries and topping it with thousand island dressing.
Dude, what's with that beautiful piano in the background 😊
It's my dad's piano. It is really a beautiful piece for sure.
I always thought they added chorizo to theirs
That would be negative. Most chorizo that I know of is pork and there is no pork in Tommy's chili. There are beef versions of chorizo. I honestly don't think they use it though. I really wish I could talk to someone who previously worked there and knows about the chili making process. I bet they had to sign non-disclosures otherwise this should be well-known information by now. All I do know is what I made tasted pretty dang spot on.
Is barley flour optional? I cant seem to find it near me
It's part of the original posters recipe. I found it on Amazon.

@@TheFoodExperience thank you for taking the time to respond. I did find an alternative. I made my own barely flour so i didnt have to wait. It was super easy. And the recipe was really good by the way. It does taste alot like the tommy’s recipe
@@maleni6039 You are very welcome! That's awesome that you made your own barley flour. Yeah it's definitely very close to the way Tommy's chili is. Too bad we can't find someone who worked their previously that would be willing to reveal the real recipe. I would be so all over that!
Looks amazing, enjoy! 🍔 😋
I'll give you a hint. CLOVES!
I can certainly try experimenting without the next time I make this. Thanks for the hint.
Nice chili burger! But you forget the onions
Thanks! I usually do grilled onions. They would have been amazing on this chili burger.
i heard some use harina masa Flour
Yes I heard that as well
The OG one on rampart uses masa.
That's the best location for sure!
Double Doubles are In n Out
Lol most definitely! For some reason all of my friends and I since the '80s also call the Tommy's double cheeseburger a double-double as well. They're really just words. Lol
born and raised in LA, where?
I grew up in Encino. Lived in various places in the valley including North Hollywood, Chatsworth, & Canoga Park.
☝️😉🤤👉🍽
Very close. Substitute beef broth for water. ✌️
I will have to give that a try next time. Sounds good to me.
There is no AP flour in Tommy's chili, as they say it is is gluten free.
It's not my recipe. However bud I'll tell you it tastes pretty close to the original. You may want to pass that information on to the original poster with the link I provided in my description.
No tomato onion or mustard?
Usually I do mustard and onions however this time I was out of onions but I did use plenty of pickles which I really enjoy. That's the great thing about a burger, you could order it any which way you like.
No…. Who goes and gets it with mustard and tomatoes? lol
I don't eat raw tomatoes. My preference is mustard and pickles and usually onions but I was out of them. It's a to each their own deal. Lol
I’ve never seen anyone put flour in a dry pan. It’s supposed to be a roux. Make a dark(like dark chocolate) roux next time and you won’t have that unhydrated flour taste that I know you tasted.
Oh I'm very familiar with making a roux. Lol actually you don't taste the flour that's why it's cooked. It's not my recipe. I wanted to try it and make sure I could vouch for it. You may not like the idea of it or understand it but I assure you it is definitely pretty spot-on to Tommy's.
I just had to query the idea of toasting flour and there really is a use for toasted flour. Here is one of the links I found: www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/inside-our-kitchen/article/how-and-why-to-toast-flour
Tommy's is just a double cheese burger not a double double
Lol I know but that's what we always called it growing up in the '80s. Just is how it is man.
Yeah that's In n Out. Mixed messages. Lol
Bro, if you live there , just go there!,,,
I absolutely do go there! I was looking for a way to make it at home. All I could say is it tastes very similar just not 100%. I've been going to Tommy's for at least 30 years now. I grew up going to the Van nuys location and the one on Roscoe. I've been to the one on rampart a couple times, the real OG.
