- When you find a menu that's devoted to bacon,
you run inside to eat before the interview.
Bacon cheeseburgers, bacon drinks,
bacon peanut butter banana sliders, bacon desserts.
Sebastian's in Brookfield has bacon everything.
How do we know that?
Because you told us.
We should probably go meet the owner.
(upbeat music)
- Well Cheers.
To kicking our day off with bacon in all the right ways.
- Hey, hey!

You guys have a motto,
that bacon is the worlds greatest food.
- Bacon, beer, sports, whiskey.
Who doesn't like all of those things?
- The bacon bar, its the salty, crunchy truth
- So we come to Sebastian's to have bacon.
- How was it decided that
bacon would be the star of Sebastian's?
- Bacon brings the world together.
- You're checking all my boxes here.
(funky music)
What are we making today?
- The bacon stuffed burger.
It is our number one seller, its the best burger around.
- The bacon stuffed burger is outstanding.
- Almost fits every single category that
your taste buds would want.
- Good, solid, meat, stuffed with bacon and cheese.
- If anyone can finish it, I'll be shocked.
- Oh I can't finish it?
- It's a man burger, but a lady will take it down.
- When you take a bite of this,
and make sure that you lean over when you do,
or you're definitely gonna wear it.
- You might have a chance.
- Yeah, I did take down those sliders.
- Put down the sliders pretty good.
- Cheers to bacon, and all of it's goodness.
- Cheers to bacon.
The only way to get to the kitchen,
is by dabbing.
(upbeat music)
- We have all the makings of our burger,
but I couldn't help but draw my eyes over that way.
- So we have bacon, bacon, and surprise, bacon.
- Bacon desserts!
- That is the bacon gelato brownie,
and we have some bacon wrapped Oreos,
and our bacon stuffed pecan twinkie.
- Oh my goodness.
Okay!
- All right, here's where all the action is.
So we have our house ground up round beef,
chopped up cooked bacon, and our shredded cheese.
We basically just smush it all together,
- Perfect - and just form it
in to a burger patty.
Looks pretty good, the we just walk on over to the flat top,
and we just let it--
- Ooh right, pass my dessert.
Emma, twinkie, twinkie me.
- Just slap it on the grill,
and we just, let it set for a few minutes.
- [Marley] Those are so good!
I totally forgot about the burger for a second.
(laughing)
- These are gonna cook three minutes on each side,
and we're ready to go to the next step.
- Three minutes huh.
This is amazing
- [Chef] It is flip time.
And then we just grab a couple pieces of bacon.
- [Marley] Ah ha!
- [Chef] Then we get our little hamburger bun.
- [Marley] Snap, crackle, pop.
- [Chef] Just like that.
- Just gonna make this life simpler here.
Chef, just holler when you need me.
- [Chef] All right.
(upbeat music)
- [Chef] Grab some cheese over here, two slices.
- [Marley] Yes.
- [Chef] And then just drop this down.
Then we grab our buns.
You have like no feeling in your hands.
- Just trying to look boss today.
- Yeah
- Bacon boss
- [Chef] Just put a little lettuce,
some tomato, and some onion.
You can put a little more lettuce.
- [Marley] Okay.
- We like to be healthy here.
- [Marley] Oh yes, very healthy.
It's basically a salad.
- Do the walk, the strut.
- The strut.
- [Chef] And there you go.
That is our bacon stuffed burger.
- Aw man!
That's really pretty.
Yep, that one will be mine.
Bacon wrapped cookies for the road.
Thanks Chef!
- You're welcome.
You want this to go?
- Got a lot happening here mike.
- [Mike] We got a whiskey, we got bacon,
we got beer, we got sports on the TV's,
we're good to go.
- Where should we start?
- Ah, lets start with the shot.
- All right, cheers!
- [Mike] Cheers!
- Just what I needed after those bacon wrapped cookies.
The bacon cheeseburger is a beautiful
piece of food on its own.
But because you get those bacon bits,
you get that extra bacon.
You get get some real crunch
in there too. - That's the whole point.
You got the crunchy bacon on top, with the bacon bits
inside, so it kinda throws it all off.
(tape reversing)
- I knew I'd wear it.
I had someone tell me I had to lean
forward while I eat this.
And I didn't listen,
and I spilled. - You gotta lean.
- Gotta lean
Why do you think Sebastian's is Chicago's best?
- Bacon runs the establishment.
Families are welcome, sports are a priority.
There's nothing else like it.
- Cheers to being the best bacon bar around.
- Cheers!
- Yeah, I'm definitely not gonna be able to finish this.
- That's fine.
Its really good though right?
- [Man] Yeah
