Today on ballistic Burgers I’m going to be cooking up for you guys the Char Burger from Portillos out of Chicago Illinois actually they’re all over the nation let’s get going so portello opened their door around 1960 they’re very famous for their Italian beef sandwich as well as

The Chicago dog but they also have a killerb on the menu That’s we’re going to make for you today and if you want to see one of their hot dogs Check out my Ballistic Barbecue Channel I did a kind of a show off between or head-to-head

Between the New York dirty water dog and the Chicago style dog and I did it in the stylings of pellos anyway let’s get going with this burger Portillos Cooks up their burgers on an open grill so I’m using my Kettle Grill I have the ballistic Grill in place with just low

Heat little bit of charcoal in here just for toasting the Buns we’re going to kick this off with third pound of 8020 ground chuck little a little bit of kosher salt on board a little bit more salt their buns are toasted I’ll lay them down this is a white bun you know

White bread bun but it’s got like a wheat germ on top this just a little bit of a turn you can see how the top starting to look moist ready to flip nice right nice toast top of this bun the bottom bun here we’re going to place a nice slice of American

Cheese and on top of the crown lay down some mayo that nice hot hot Burger down down some iceberg Lettuce three rings of red onion tomato some dill pickle chips spiral of ketchup then that crown and I present to you Portillos Charburger with cheese this is just a a really beautiful classic American Cheeseburger look at that now I have to explain if you buy this burger at Portillos they they assemble it in two halves so basically in one side of the burger box you know little container they’ll have the bottom bun with the cheese and the Patty then on the other container they’ll have the

Top bun facing up and they’ll lay everything basically in reverse order that I did and then what they’ll do is they’ll take that bottom section and close it really quick then there’s your burger I didn’t have one those little boxes and I didn’t feel that that was

Necessary and I didn’t want to juggle a top bun with all those autant here but look at that all that color I I just love red onion I mean I I think it’s a beautiful beautiful color Accent on a burger and it adds that nice kind of a peppery bite cheers very

Juicy there’s nothing fancy about it there’s nothing pretentious about it um I think it’s a wellth thought out burger I I like a a barrier between the Patty in that bottom bun whether it’s a piece of lettuce or you know Mayo actually because you know there’s a lot

Of fat mayo or the cheese like that I think is pretty cool and it did melt which I’m happy about um but you know it helps that bottom bun maintain its Integrity I think the condiments are good the the Mayo and the ketchup and the onion that that again Red Onion it’s

Got a bite to it definitely cuts any of the sweetness that a lot of people complain about the ketchup I think is countered by that kind of spicy onion um it’s a nice sized Burger it’s not ridiculously thick so it maintains its moisture too you know you don’t have to

Worry about it over cooking and um yeah you get that nice Char flavor I mean it’s a good burger good burger wow anyway I did a Portillos hot dog and now hamburger today all back to back I’m full I’ve literally had like one New York style dirty water dog and the Chicago dog

Anyway I’m stuffed but I really appreciate you guys coming by it’s raining now it’s a good day to do a video uh if you guys have any requests please keep them coming in that’s what keeps this channel alive um I didn’t even mention it on my hot dog video this
