Chapters
Babish introduces the livestream, welcoming viewers and stating the focus on making quesadillas, a Tex-Mex classic.
The essential ingredients are oil, tortillas, cheese, and any desired fillings. The recipe is described as super easy and back to basics.
Babish gathers peppers, onions, and fresh corn for the vegetarian quesadilla, emphasizing that quesadillas can accommodate almost any filling.
He grates sharp white cheddar cheese, noting that yellow cheddar is often just dyed but looks prettier.
Babish demonstrates knife skills and recommends investing in a Victorinox 8-inch chef's knife ($45) and a large OXO cutting board for better cooking.
He sautés the diced peppers and onions in olive oil until soft, seasoning with salt to draw out moisture.
The marinade includes crushed garlic, lime juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne, cumin, salt, and pepper. He emphasizes crushing garlic to infuse flavor without burning.
Corn is charred in a hot pan with vegetable oil to get a grilled flavor, then set aside.
Using a cast-iron pan with a generous amount of oil, Babish fries the quesadilla slowly to ensure the cheese melts and the exterior becomes crispy and golden.
The cooked quesadilla is sliced into three pieces, and Babish demonstrates a cheese pull. He serves with sour cream and salsa.
The marinated chicken is seared in a nonstick pan until charred, then rested for five minutes before slicing across the grain to ensure tenderness.
Babish layers cheese, chicken slices, and sautéed peppers/onions, then tops with more cheese to bind everything together before frying.
The chicken quesadilla is fried similarly, achieving a crispy crust. Babish tastes it and confirms the chicken is moist and flavorful.

[18:06] we'll see am I missing any good
[18:10] questions any good stuff here Jake
[18:15] well I was just gonna say you know we
[18:18] obviously were able to see the super
[18:19] chats as best we can but were combing
[18:22] through the comments for any specific
[18:26] cooking questions or questions you know
[18:29] that we'd be interested in helping you
[18:31] out with and Ben and I are putting them
[18:33] together and we'll we'll get them out to
[18:36] you when he takes a break
[18:37] great in the meantime we've got some
[18:39] super chats here I can address with Sean
[18:41] Kerry just gave 20 bucks thank you so
[18:43] much was the last time you read Anthony
[18:45] Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential
[18:46] definitely not since he left us because
[18:50] it would make me way too sad but I've
[18:54] read it three times now it's it's
[18:56] obviously you know a favorite it's a lot
[18:58] of fun to read it's almost like reading
[19:00] an episode of his of his show it's
[19:03] written in the same voice obviously and
[19:07] I haven't heard that in a while but I'd
[19:09] love to read it again now I miss him and
[19:11] it'd be nice to I'm talking about him
[19:14] like I know him I've never met him but
[19:15] uh I mean that's one of the great things
[19:17] about him is that he really made you
[19:18] feel like you know you were there with
[19:20] him and I I do miss his his storytelling
[19:26] and I'd be excited to read that again we
[19:28] have thank you very much for the
[19:30] generous super chat we also have OGN oh
[19:33] three one seven gave ten dollars I want
[19:35] to say thank you for inspiring me to
[19:36] change my major to food science and
[19:39] would you ever be willing to try making
[19:40] us gluing the free dish as a person with
[19:42] celiac I'd really like to see that first
[19:44] off thank you for your generous super
[19:46] chat I'm very happy to hear that that's
[19:48] you're pursuing something that you're
[19:49] excited about and thank you for for
[19:52] saying something so nice is that I had
[19:54] anything to do with that but but
[19:56] congratulations and best of luck to you
[19:58] and yeah I actually have a bunch of
[20:02] celiac friends and typically I like
[20:05] making them things that are you know
[20:07] faked versions of gluttonous foods like
[20:10] gluten-free pizza or whatever because
[20:11] it's never gonna be as good there's so
[20:13] many great gluten-free foods out there
[20:15] that are just naturally free of gluten
[20:16] and that way everybody's enjoying it and
[20:20] they feel you know it's more inclusive
[20:22] it's it's that's the way I like to do it
[20:24] so what I should do is make a playlist
[20:27] of recipes that just happen to be
[20:28] gluten-free that seems like a good idea
[20:30] but also there are great gluten-free
[20:32] recipes out there for those with celiac
[20:35] and for those with dietary concerns so
[20:37] yeah we should definitely do that let's
[20:39] add that to the schedule for the next
[20:40] base basic spells so let's go to put
[20:46] this in the fridge oh that is very
[20:50] jittery which is probably a good thing
[20:52] considering its chair there we go
[20:53] alright that's in the fridge just so it
[20:56] doesn't get all greasy you know if you
[20:57] if you leave cheddar out too long it
[20:59] gets pretty gnarly we're gonna commence
[21:05] to choppin guys I'm so sorry I know that
[21:07] you're giving a super chest right now
[21:08] and I'd love to read them but I do need
[21:11] to get cooking a little bit so Vinnie
[21:14] and soy if there are any big pressing
[21:16] ones if there's anything you think I
[21:18] should answer right now ish I am all
[21:21] ears but other than that I'm going to
[21:23] commence to shopping so I love this
[21:30] knife Wow I got this knife in California
[21:34] and oh it's just a beast really guys you
[21:40] know that's the first thing to really
[21:41] invest in is a halfway decent chef's
[21:43] knife I've said it a million times so
[21:45] I'm not going to harp on it
[21:46] too much but you know we probably got
[21:48] some newcomers here and and some that's
[21:54] you know a good knife and a good cutting
[21:56] board are going to elevate your game in
[21:57] ways that you just can't really
[21:59] recognize until you just try it so you
[22:02] know if you're looking to invest in your
[22:04] abilities in the kitchen and you say you
[22:06] have a hundred bucks you can do a lot
[22:07] with that you can get a Victoria Knox
[22:09] five rocks 8-inch chef's knife for I
[22:12] think $45 it's wicked sharp but keeps
[22:15] its edge for a pretty good long time
[22:17] considering it is stamped and not forged
[22:20] it's a it's a great little knife and
[22:23] then you can get a really great cutting
[22:25] board you probably get a booze block get
[22:28] you know save save that for when for
[22:30] when you can you know really dump money
[22:31] into your kitchen
[22:32] maybe first get a knock so what's called
[22:36] Aqsa butcher board or carving board oXXO
[22:39] carving board is 24 by 18 s by a big and
[22:42] it's a it's just so nice to have a big
[22:44] beautiful work surface like this table
[22:46] I'm thankful every day for this table
[22:48] because you know it just just lets me do
[22:52] do it all I'm going with a finer dice
[22:56] than I did in the video because I want
[22:59] these onions to really be part of the
[23:02] filling mixture I got to figure out a
[23:05] better way to do that you know who I
[23:07] hung out with it with today folks is
[23:10] Alvin Kyle on I went over to his
[23:13] restaurant the usual here in New York
[23:14] City and we are we are scheming we are
[23:17] plotting something fun so keep an eye
[23:19] out probably in about a month we'll be
[23:22] releasing something very fun that I'm
[23:26] sorry for cutting so slowly but when I'm
[23:28] talking like this and when I'm trying to
[23:29] engage with you guys I really don't want
[23:31] to chop a finger up on live you know
[23:34] live streaming that would probably be an
[23:37] unfortunate blunder so I'm just you know
[23:41] focusing a little bit harder than usual
[23:43] because I make a snake like that well
[23:47] it'd be kind of funny wouldn't it well
[23:49] sort of be funny for you guys me it'd be
[23:54] a little sad it's also a good
[23:56] opportunity to show you guys you know
[23:58] good knife discipline keep your keep
[24:00] your fingers tucked in grab your grab
[24:02] your food like with a claw like this so
[24:03] if you graze yourself you just you just
[24:05] graze a little skin off instead of
[24:07] plunging a knife into your finger all
[24:11] right we got some super Chad's here I
[24:12] should probably okay
[24:14] we have $100 super chat from g-baby dub
[24:18] 11 thank you so much that is incredibly
[24:21] generous I can't thank you enough that's
[24:24] really really kind and to just tell me
[24:26] something so sweet is also like you
[24:29] could have said that with any amount and
[24:31] I would be so flattered and just thank
[24:34] you that's that's really really lovely
[24:36] I think I'm sorry all my prep bowls are
[24:39] in the yep all my pit bulls are in the
[24:41] dishwasher for me they grab these so we
[24:44] can you know really properly do our mise
[24:46] on+ meson plus for those of you don't
[24:49] know is French for everything in its
[24:53] place
[24:54] I think I think it's everything in this
[24:56] place or more place for everything I'm
[24:59] not entirely sure which one but it's
[25:01] it's just the act of getting all your
[25:03] ingredients ready and in the right place
[25:06] and in the right form so once it comes
[25:08] time to get cooking you know you don't
[25:10] have something on the burner you don't
[25:14] have something on the burner
[25:15] that's um you have to worry about and
[25:17] and and then you know why also have to
[25:20] chop an onion it's uh it's one of the
[25:24] fundamentals of cooking that like a lot
[25:27] of new cooks don't pay attention to and
[25:30] it's cuz its shores it's boring I get it
[25:33] I don't like doing it but that's uh it's
[25:36] really gonna make you a better cook I'm
[25:38] gonna try to go for an equal size of
[25:40] dice on these peppers for I want to you
[25:44] know cuz I'm probably gonna cook the
[25:45] onions with the peppers and we want to
[25:46] cook them at relatively the same rate I
[25:49] might start doing this first but also
[25:51] you know who cares this quesadilla is
[25:55] you know fun it's a fun thing it's not
[25:57] it's not about precision necessarily
[25:59] it's a it's about fun
[26:02] no can't anybody say quesadillas aren't
[26:04] about fun I won't listen
[26:07] oh wow that is such a generous super
[26:11] chat thank you very much gee baby dub
[26:13] it was incredibly nice Jason Jason lanky
[26:16] gave $10 said you were really awesome
[26:18] have went a lot from you that's really
[26:21] really kind of you Jake J I really
[26:24] appreciate it thank you for the super
[26:25] chat and thank you for saying something
[26:27] that like seriously that's music to my
[26:29] ears guys like that's that's one of the
[26:31] best parts of making this show is
[26:32] hearing that some you guys get
[26:35] information out of it you enjoy it and
[26:37] you it gets kickin like that's really
[26:39] you know the most important part to me
[26:42] no better way to chop a pepper I gotta
[26:45] learn how to better chopped peppers so
[26:48] this is not acceptable
[26:50] surely there's a better way gonna work
[26:54] pretty well but you know it's it's
[26:58] bush-league low-rent where we got going
[27:02] on fellas got a ten dollar super cheque
[27:07] from Luke diri
[27:07] I remember your name from earlier must
[27:11] must you emphasize the age in words like
[27:13] whisk yeah man that's fun it's funny to
[27:16] me I know people have a problem with me
[27:22] when I when I say saucepan instead of
[27:25] saucepan that's not how I say in my
[27:27] day-to-day life it's just funny to me
[27:30] and yeah I don't know but I don't always
[27:37] say though you know I say it usually
[27:40] when when it's a when as a verb you know
[27:43] like whisk that together but I never
[27:45] called tine it was that I never go tiny
[27:47] whisk or anything but now that I've said
[27:50] that I'm probably not to do it because
[27:51] that was a lot of fun to do just now it
[27:53] gave me great pleasure so okay we're
[28:00] getting a little punchy that's cool
[28:02] it's Thursday weeks almost over draft us
[28:07] tonight who's who's watching the draft
[28:10] tonight that starts at what like 7:00
[28:12] 7:30 don't worry we're not gonna or
[28:15] eight something like that we're not
[28:16] gonna keep you because this is a real
[28:18] easy one I would say that last week's
[28:21] was a really easy one tikka tikka masala
[28:23] was a was a breeze but we still went for
[28:25] like two hours
[28:26] I think so you know live streaming the
[28:32] longer the better
[28:33] generally I'm just I'm just gonna
[28:34] refresh this super quick guys just cuz
[28:36] I'm curious how many viewers we have
[28:37] right now because I can't see it on the
[28:39] iPad everything you did get my laptop
[28:41] back it's untenable six thousand all
[28:45] right that's pretty good thank you guys
[28:46] for coming and hanging out it's gonna
[28:49] get interesting soon once I get all my
[28:51] knees and its respective plots I got my
[28:56] green pepper all right I'm gonna I'm
[28:58] gonna burn through this a little faster
[28:59] cuz yeah we can't be here all day
[29:03] sorry has a sir has a wife okay and
[29:07] Vinny has a girlfriend and I can't just
[29:10] be keeping here for them here all night
[29:11] not on the night of the draft I'm just
[29:14] pulling the ribs out of that pepper just
[29:16] cuz that kind of hurt you it's just like
[29:18] kind of nasty yeah you just want the red
[29:20] stuff you don't know what the the white
[29:23] ribs this is how I usually do it off
[29:26] camera and I'll chop this up into slices
[29:28] and then just kind of mince them from
[29:31] there
[29:31] it's just not efficient like that this
[29:34] this vegetable doesn't want to be
[29:36] chopped I don't think it's it's
[29:37] resisting its resistant to being chopped
[29:44] as long as these are small enough to be
[29:46] bite-sized pieces you know I really
[29:48] should be marinating the chicken right
[29:50] now it only needs to go for about 20
[29:51] minutes but um the 20 minutes minimum
[29:54] but you know that's that's what we're
[29:56] doing tonight we're doing we're doing
[29:58] things fast and easy we're pretending
[29:59] you know it's a weeknight you just got
[30:00] home
[30:02] pretending it's a week there is a
[30:04] weeknight we don't pretend it's a
[30:06] weeknight and you know just got home
[30:08] kids are yelling kids are hungry you
[30:11] know and and you just gotta get
[30:15] something out fast like quesadillas is a
[30:17] way to go and it's way to get their
[30:19] vegetables in them you know like we can
[30:22] really you know obviously there's cheese
[30:24] but kids can eat it all the cheese in
[30:26] the world will be fun but um they're
[30:28] resilient like that but uh you can also
[30:32] load this guy up with vegetables that's
[30:34] really what I plan to do
[30:36] all right so we got some red and green
[30:39] peppers these aren't chopped really
[30:40] finely enough I kind of rushed the
[30:42] Thunder we're just gonna do the cheap
[30:44] the lazy thing which is just to run the
[30:48] knife through them again it's okay there
[30:55] we go
[30:55] and yeah there we go and I'm gonna saute
[31:01] these together with the on with the
[31:02] onions because you know peppers and
[31:04] onions when is that not gonna be a good
[31:05] combo when am I gonna be like I wish
[31:07] there weren't peppers and onions in this
[31:09] quesadilla never unless somebody's
[31:12] allergic which nobody is can you confirm
[31:13] that for me Jake are you allergic
[31:14] peppers nobody's allergic all right
[31:19] we're good here we go all right so got
[31:23] our peppers chopped up last thing I'm
[31:25] gonna do is D corn an ear of corn which
[31:30] I actually have fresh corn this time in
[31:31] the in the episode it was the dead of
[31:34] winter when we shot that stuff and you
[31:36] know I could have gotten fresh corn at
[31:37] Whole Foods or something but it's not
[31:38] gonna be very good not that this is
[31:40] gonna be what am i saying it's spring
[31:41] this is not gonna be any better what am
[31:43] I saying
[31:43] um this isn't gonna be any good but um
[31:47] get the silk off of here do you guys see
[31:50] the way I got the silk off the corn in
[31:52] that previous episode what was it
[31:54] I used a toothbrush which was very
[31:56] exciting for me and that became my
[31:59] dedicated silk toothbrush to get the get
[32:03] the corn off the ear we're just gonna
[32:05] you know make shallow cuts radially
[32:07] around the ear of corn just deep enough
[32:12] where we're getting correct kernels
[32:14] coming off there we don't want to cut
[32:15] down in your core too much maybe I'll
[32:20] have to do both here is that's not as I
[32:23] thought I have a very bad eye for corn
[32:25] immense
[32:28] yeah good stuff this is gonna be better
[32:32] than something out of a out of a can
[32:34] probably but it's still not gonna be
[32:37] very good I'm also from upstate New York
[32:39] where we pride ourselves on our sweet
[32:41] summer sweet corn so so so so does a
[32:47] lawyer in there and we're both from both
[32:49] upstate New York 585 boys and we have
[32:54] any Bills fans in the the chat today I
[32:58] saw a couple Rochester Ian's but I
[33:00] wanted to bring your attention to a
[33:02] fifty dollar super chat asking for more
[33:05] Sopranos episodes a you yeah music to my
[33:09] ears you got it Artie bucco does a whole
[33:13] bunch of the first off thank you very
[33:14] very very much for an incredibly
[33:16] generous super chat and for just like
[33:17] that's that's all I want to hear like I
[33:20] loved The Sopranos sort and I both
[33:23] Sawyer kind of got me on it like I
[33:25] thought it was good but then he kind of
[33:27] explained had the the the piratical is
[33:31] that the word the the sort of parody
[33:35] nature of it and the the satirical the
[33:38] satirical nature of it and just like how
[33:41] how messed up some of these people are
[33:43] and how messed up some these
[33:45] circumstances are and it's really it's
[33:48] got to be I always say it's my favorite
[33:51] show ever made but entirely sure it's
[33:55] it's it's probably a top three but like
[33:58] if you haven't watched frenzy I could
[33:59] get yourself an HBO Go password and get
[34:02] moving because you're missing out so I'm
[34:04] really special and it's probably gonna
[34:06] feel a little aged in a few years it's
[34:08] already feeling that way all the flip
[34:10] phones and whatnot
[34:12] okay thank you
[34:14] looks a little wet down here yeah these
[34:18] guys are very little stragglers okay so
[34:24] all right that's everything we need for
[34:26] our veggie quesadillas let's get the
[34:28] chicken marinating will make veggie KSD
[34:30] as well in marinades and we'll take it
[34:31] out and we'll make chicken quesadillas
[34:33] so that's some pretty sharp cheddar in
[34:41] there which I'm a little little annoyed
[34:44] that I got you know very sharp cheddar
[34:46] because you know it's it's hang up sorry
[34:52] I just need just because I don't know
[34:58] what so you have to clean yes and we're
[35:00] just we're just dropping it in the bag
[35:02] and when marinating it
[35:04] I do need a bowl to combine money here
[35:08] we go so everything's in the dishwasher
[35:11] my hands really sticky from the
[35:12] vegetables hang on a second folks every
[35:15] time a little rinse off okay all right
[35:21] so for the marinade we need first and
[35:25] foremost we need some fresh garlic
[35:29] they're being so gentle with this bag
[35:33] I don't know this bag anything here we
[35:35] go so you know we're here what you can
[35:39] keep going over basics with cloves of
[35:41] garlic you know you can just kind of
[35:42] print a turn and press down on the clove
[35:45] it's a little firm you have a hard time
[35:47] getting it apart and then once you start
[35:48] feeling a breakup press down on the top
[35:52] and there goes just breaks right up oh
[35:56] yeah these I love it when they do this I
[35:59] love them cloves like jump out of their
[36:01] skin spoke too soon oh well
[36:07] let's see what super chance we're
[36:09] looking at here thank you so much again
[36:11] for the sopranos suggestion and for the
[36:13] very very generous super chat Luke dear
[36:15] ease back don't do this if you don't
[36:17] want to it's entirely hypothetical but
[36:20] have you ever thought about
[36:20] reconstructing the entire two-door feast
[36:23] for him anything for any of the eight no
[36:27] I have not thought about that now I'm
[36:29] thinking about it I would have to do
[36:31] some research on that I assume that it
[36:34] is like dastardly complicated fiendishly
[36:38] so but yeah let me let me look into that
[36:42] I've always wanted to do a historical
[36:44] recreations thing but I don't want to
[36:45] step on what's the what's the name of
[36:48] that family that does the historical
[36:50] dishes I'm going to feel this a little
[36:52] faster here the town zis town oh yeah I
[36:55] don't yeah I don't want to step on their
[36:56] turf you know that's that's really what
[36:58] they're up to I don't think they do you
[37:01] know anything from that era it's all
[37:03] just like what 1817 hundreds kind of
[37:06] stuff American you know new American
[37:09] early colonial America kind of stuff but
[37:12] uh you know it'd be very interesting to
[37:15] see what food from that era was like
[37:19] especially you know but both both the
[37:22] food for the for poor and impoverished
[37:24] people and also the food for the opulent
[37:27] for the rich would be very very
[37:28] interesting to see I'm also doing
[37:32] something different this time I didn't
[37:34] do this in the video and I wish that I
[37:35] did I'm just crushing the garlic okay
[37:39] releasing that Alison as you know who
[37:41] would say as my as my man Brad would say
[37:43] and also by crushing it we're gonna get
[37:47] the flavor in the marinade but we're
[37:48] also not gonna have tiny little pieces
[37:49] of garlic all over the chicken that are
[37:51] going to burn because that's what
[37:53] happened you see you get get tiny little
[37:54] pieces you can't get off and we're
[37:55] trying to get the garlic off of the
[37:57] chicken when we after it's done
[38:01] marinating so I'm just gonna crush it
[38:03] which is gonna get the nice flavor in
[38:04] there but then we can very clearly see
[38:06] those in there and it's not gonna it's
[38:08] not gonna get in the way
[38:11] of searing and sauteing or taking our
[38:13] chicken so we got the garlic in there
[38:17] that's the most important ingredient in
[38:21] my opinion now I'm also gonna hit it
[38:22] with maybe like two to three tablespoons
[38:26] of olive oil the juice of one lime we
[38:32] only have a little bit of chicken so we
[38:33] don't have to go crazy with this
[38:35] marinade but the juice of one lime so
[38:39] what I'm doing right now is I'm just
[38:40] rolling the lime against the countertop
[38:45] before slicing it which is gonna make it
[38:46] a lot easier to juice it's basically
[38:49] just like free squeezing it for you so
[38:51] now one hand I can hello just got
[38:54] squirted yeah it's just it's much easier
[38:58] to squeeze and yeah try doing it next
[39:00] time you make yourself a margarita oh
[39:01] man I wish we had stuff in margarita it
[39:04] would be way better than scotch right
[39:05] now but I don't it's a Keela shoot I
[39:08] have an empty bottle of Coors Oh over
[39:11] there that's about it I love Korres oh

[41:43] might have guessed a nice smoky flavor
[41:45] to it some other important ingredients
[41:48] include but are not limited to a little
[41:50] shake of cayenne with my man chef John
[41:52] with you and a little shake of cumin
[41:56] which I just had to replace cuz I was
[41:58] fresh out so let me get the flavor seal
[42:01] off of this
[42:06] let's see let's see here let's go no
[42:12] with you guys just what I'm doing this
[42:14] some people I love this that they're
[42:17] having like conversations with me by
[42:18] given five bucks like fish
[42:19] appreciate you guys I stone cold silver
[42:25] I know you're trying to get me to say
[42:26] something I'm not gonna say it thank you
[42:27] for the super chat Walter M peacock gave
[42:30] wait is that a thing did you just make
[42:33] me say something Walter M pika
[42:35] I'm nervous now 1350 very very specific
[42:41] number thank you so much this is the
[42:43] first time I've ever gave money to a
[42:44] stream you should do a knife sharpening
[42:46] naps maybe with perfection who's not a
[42:49] good cook that has a channel on getting
[42:51] the best edge on a knife cool I'm gonna
[42:53] check that out I haven't seen perfection
[42:54] but I'd love to check it out ice with
[42:56] knife sharp thing isn't heart honestly
[42:59] and I did do knife sharpening in kitchen
[43:02] care and maintenance the the there's a
[43:05] basics episode on the kitchen care and
[43:06] we do touch on knife sharpening so check
[43:09] that out I'm definitely not going to be
[43:10] a master of it like like that gentleman
[43:12] or lady
[43:14] whatever it is you should do some dishes
[43:16] from Monster Hunter there's this big
[43:17] meat platter that I am dying to do from
[43:19] Monster it looks delicious
[43:21] alright so in here we've got you know
[43:23] all the all the ingredients we also need
[43:26] a nice pinch of kosher salt and I have
[43:31] some freshly penciled pepper here and
[43:33] anybody who saw yesterday's episode
[43:34] knows that my pepper grinder or
[43:36] Tuesday's episode knows that my pepper
[43:38] grinder is compromised and there we go
[43:42] this is a very very simple super
[43:45] flavorful marinade that is going to
[43:48] penetrate the chicken deeply within 30
[43:52] minutes that's gonna really hit it with
[43:53] a lot of flavor and I know what I just
[43:54] said but at least they're at least 20
[43:59] minutes if not up to 4 hours it'll go
[44:03] too long though because there is a lot
[44:04] of acid and this then the chicken can
[44:05] can get mushy I'm gonna rinse this
[44:07] chicken off real quick maybe Jake you
[44:10] can fill me in on some questions or
[44:12] anything just cuz I hate like all the
[44:13] chicken juice on packaged chicken so I'm
[44:16] just going to this off super quick cool
[44:19] yeah I see a request here for the curry
[44:24] from Naruto I think I remember that
[44:27] being delicious looking so that sounds
[44:29] like a great suggestion from Logan thank
[44:32] you very much for that Thank You Logan
[44:34] yes we have definitely seen Naruto ramen
[44:37] has had its fair share of requests and
[44:40] it just feels too similar to other
[44:41] ramens that I've done on the channel so
[44:43] I haven't been super open to it but I'll
[44:45] revisit it and take a look at it sorry
[44:48] go ahead Jake Jake Murray has a good
[44:50] question being a film fanatic does the
[44:52] channel make you check more movies out
[44:55] that you wouldn't if you weren't making
[44:56] these vids that's one of the best parts
[44:59] of this channel is that I have
[45:00] definitely been exposed to a lot of
[45:02] things that I might not have otherwise
[45:05] sorry for the gross ones just the sake I
[45:07] promise I've been exposed to so many
[45:11] things that might not have seen
[45:13] otherwise doing research and
[45:16] just you know generally trying to find
[45:20] new material and suggestions from so
[45:22] many people I really appreciate the
[45:25] suggestions guys it's really where most
[45:27] of the ideas come from for this show so
[45:29] what I'm going to do now let's start by
[45:32] putting these guys back in that bowl and
[45:35] then just going to take the bag and just
[45:38] to sort of prevent cross contamination
[45:40] too much obviously playing with fire
[45:42] here I'm going to fold down the top of
[45:45] the bag a little bit open up the gut
[45:47] nice gusset that's nice gusset guys you
[45:50] guys have watched Steve 1989 Mr info oh
[45:54] my god I love so much he he reviews MREs
[45:59] and he's got the most sophisticated
[45:59] palate and way of describing things I
[46:02] remember he was smoking a cigarette out
[46:06] of a world war two ration so this like
[46:10] you know this this the 70 year old
[46:13] cigarette that he's smoking and is like
[46:17] ah you know candles of this of this era
[46:20] or reminiscent of gardenias it's like I
[46:23] love you dude I love you so much
[46:24] um but uh I I say that in my day to day
[46:28] life I say nice okay like I say that
[46:31] like 10 times a day probably okay in
[46:34] goes the marinade normally I would
[46:37] butterfly these chicken breasts but
[46:39] they're really thin so they're already
[46:41] quite thin these are kind of wimpy
[46:43] little chicken breasts so we're just
[46:45] gonna we're just gonna hit them with the
[46:47] marinade I'll probably just fry them or
[46:49] a saute them sear them and then
[46:52] I could finish him in a low oven so
[46:56] there we go push all the air out give
[46:59] that a little massage we got here we
[47:04] have a $14.99 super chat from Diego guy
[47:07] Lindo he says you got a rolling on your
[47:09] wrist yes sir I am Oh kind of a watch
[47:12] freak and and I very I've never thought
[47:19] that I'd be able to get into watches in
[47:21] the way that I have and I'm very
[47:22] grateful for that obviously so alright
[47:26] we got fifty eight hundred people in the
[47:27] chat I was just uh checking world.we
[47:30] wraps
[47:31] besides this around I really want that
[47:33] garlic to have even coverage on there on
[47:36] the chicken chicken towels out of here
[47:39] and then I'm gonna put this guy back in
[47:41] a bowl so there's no chance of
[47:42] cross-contamination with other stuff in
[47:44] the fridge put him in the fridge you
[47:51] know thirty minutes now let's get going
[47:54] on our vegetables let's start sauteing
[47:57] some stuff yeah so we're gonna head on
[47:59] over to camera two so are you ready for
[48:01] this here we go camera two I always say
[48:07] that like it's the first time we've done
[48:08] it I'm sorry I'm not doubting your
[48:10] ability I just I just want to make a big
[48:12] deal out of it oh no a long time viewers
[48:14] will know I miss it sometimes pardon me
[48:19] sorry sorry if I just coughed in the mic
[48:22] I'm sure that just peeked and all your
[48:23] headphones a little bit olive oil
[48:25] probably should you use vegetable oil
[48:26] it's okay we're just sauteing with
[48:28] another matter and where's my torch yes
[48:32] a lot of people have asked why do I use
[48:34] the torch to light my stove and that's
[48:36] because it is a restaurant stove and it
[48:39] has a pilot light that is so powerful
[48:41] you know on these restaurant stoves the
[48:43] pilot light constantly runs so you can
[48:46] just turn it on and it's just going and
[48:48] it's so powerful that it just heats up
[48:52] the whole room and it's nice in the
[48:54] winter but not so much when it's
[48:56] starting to get nice
[48:57] like right now let me grab my drink and
[49:01] you know I love this pin I'm not
[49:03] sponsored by Tefal I just want to you
[49:06] know sing its praises if you're a new
[49:08] future it's got this great it's called
[49:11] the thermo spot indicator I guess and
[49:13] you can see there's some like circles
[49:15] and some T's on there and those will
[49:17] disappear once the pan is properly
[49:18] preheated so if you're learning how to
[49:20] cook and you don't really know is my pan
[49:23] I'm hot enough is it ready
[49:24] if you're just doing simple things like
[49:25] sauteing like this and you want to get
[49:28] oil to a good sauteing point but you
[49:31] don't want it to smoke that is gonna be
[49:33] the temperature at which you want to
[49:35] stuff you want to add your vegetables so
[49:36] I'm gonna grab my onions here and as
[49:38] soon as that guy threads solid red guess
[49:40] what's gonna happen with these onions
[49:42] the what do you think audience you
[49:45] choose we don't like like the
[49:47] Bandersnatch dump the onions don't dump
[49:51] the internet everybody selects don't
[49:54] dump the endings I'm like oh okay well
[49:56] what we do now anyway those are going in
[50:02] enough small talk
[50:05] this is also like the most powerful
[50:07] burner if I bring my hands or my arms
[50:10] too close to it singes the hair off my
[50:12] arms well the great chefs I just met sup
[50:15] Floyd Cardos the other day what he was
[50:18] kind enough to have us over to his
[50:19] restaurant for a tasting and he's going
[50:22] to be joining us on some future episodes
[50:25] of basics with babish showing us how to
[50:27] make some indian essentials and he has
[50:32] no hair on his eyes and you know he
[50:34] showed us the what's that Indian clay
[50:38] pot oven it's the
[50:43] you know attend or attend or he was
[50:46] shown his hand or and he was reaching
[50:49] inside it and grabbing bread and chicken
[50:51] and stuff just reaching right in there
[50:52] and I brought my hand near it like this
[50:54] close to the opening and I pulled away
[50:56] because like all the hair right here in
[51:00] fact you can still see it right like
[51:01] there you can see we heard it's singed
[51:03] off like half the hair on my arm chef
[51:06] sir you know there are otherworldly
[51:08] creatures there the different from you
[51:09] and I real chefs I mean all right so I
[51:14] just want to get these little
[51:15] translucent I just wanna give him a
[51:16] little extra heat before we add the
[51:18] peppers which I'm gonna add now I just
[51:20] wanted to give him like a minute cuz
[51:24] these guys are gonna cook : you know I
[51:26] really want to cook the onions down I
[51:27] want to get like them almost not
[51:29] caramelized Leonids I really want to
[51:32] cook them down I don't want them to be
[51:33] too crunchy but I do want some crunch in
[51:35] the peppers there we go for anybody
[51:39] curious how to learn how to do this I
[51:41] know that this is like one of those
[51:42] things that when you're trying to learn
[51:44] how to cook you really want to do you're
[51:46] gonna make a mess if you use food the
[51:49] best thing to do if you use a stainless
[51:50] steel pan not a non-stick pan because
[51:52] you'll scratch it but the way I learned
[51:54] was um I took a stainless steel pan and
[51:56] I filled it with them
[51:58] Ricola with cough drops and I just use
[52:00] that over my bed and you know obviously
[52:02] Rico let's go everywhere but you get a
[52:04] sense for the motion that you need to do
[52:06] you bring everything sort of down to the
[52:08] edge of the pan and then push it up and
[52:11] pull it back like that and as you guys
[52:14] will see on an episode of being tomorrow
[52:16] I messed that up pretty good in front of
[52:18] a group of students I don't want to give
[52:22] away too much about what we're doing
[52:24] what we did rather the
[52:27] coming episode of being for those of you
[52:30] don't know being with babish is my new
[52:32] show it's a travel and vlog and food
[52:35] experiential kind of show and every
[52:38] episode we try to meet up with a fan of
[52:39] the show and give them you know
[52:41] something that they need if they're if
[52:43] they're in need of something work we can
[52:45] sort of in in a culinary sense improve
[52:48] their life or their or their hobbies or
[52:51] whatever in some way we're just giving
[52:52] them a cool experience and we got to
[52:56] work with the teacher in Brooklyn and
[52:58] Brownsville who does a cooking class for
[53:02] his kids for these middle schoolers I
[53:04] won't say anything else that we do but
[53:05] it's it's it's a nice heartwarming
[53:07] episode 1 Rashid duro so my former
[53:11] roommate who a lot of you know and love
[53:13] makes an appearance so keep an eye out
[53:17] for him we give him quite a surprise hmm
[53:24] so also I'm going to I should have done
[53:26] this up front sorry but I'm gonna salt
[53:28] these just a little bit initially not
[53:31] not so fully seasoned them but to help
[53:33] coax some of the moisture out of them
[53:35] this also like it's gonna work less so
[53:39] in this context it's still it'll still
[53:41] help but really where that's gonna come
[53:43] in handy is with mushrooms mushrooms
[53:46] have oh my dishwasher is open how
[53:48] embarrassing mushrooms have so much
[53:51] liquid in them that you need to get rid
[53:52] of before you can before you you know if
[53:57] you're baking them into something like
[53:59] you can put mushrooms in a quiche you
[54:01] can't just put raw mushrooms in there
[54:02] because you'll ruin your quiche got us
[54:05] you got to get this liquid out and if
[54:07] you add salt just a little bit again
[54:09] you're not trying to season them you're
[54:10] just trying to help draw out the
[54:12] moisture
[54:12] it just helps them cook down and quicker
[54:15] in that way you don't end up overcooking
[54:16] your mushrooms
[54:18] something smells Bernie it's something
[54:20] like now these are looking almost done
[54:24] and last up I like really just want to
[54:28] heat the corn throughout let me get some
[54:29] color on this stuff actually actually
[54:32] you know I'm gonna do the corn
[54:33] separately because I want to have the
[54:34] the peppers and onions to all the
[54:37] quesadillas including the chicken one
[54:38] and
[54:39] to be cool in that one so don't ask me
[54:43] why
[54:45] he and corn we're not on speaking terms
[54:48] right now all right so that's looking
[54:52] nicely you know the onions are nice and
[54:53] soft you can see that they're not the
[54:55] same stark white that they used to be
[54:56] everybody's losing color a little bit
[54:58] everybody's melding their colors
[55:00] together so that's that's right where we
[55:02] want it to be we don't know lose too
[55:03] much color we don't wanna lose too much
[55:04] texture we just want to cut these down a
[55:06] little bit so you're not you're not
[55:08] fighting it for getting salad when
[55:09] you're when you're eating your
[55:12] quesadilla I know this still does
[55:13] everywhere I'm gonna do this over at the
[55:17] countertop sorry to make you switch
[55:18] cameras Jake but I just don't want to
[55:22] spill it all over my my cooktop and I
[55:24] know I'm gonna spill it see see what did
[55:27] I say what did I say here we go
[55:35] but I don't want to dig those out of my
[55:37] my my stove I know the burners still
[55:40] running I know people are probably
[55:41] freaking out right now that the burner
[55:42] is still going but don't worry I'm about
[55:45] to go right back over to it and I just
[55:47] want to sear this corn a little bit I do
[55:50] want to get some color in the corn
[55:51] almost almost like it's you know sort of
[55:53] grilled like a low tasters Street corn
[55:55] like you really want to char that stuff
[55:57] and you know obviously this is not
[55:59] obviously this is a poor substitute I'm
[56:01] also gonna go back to them I got a
[56:03] vegetable oil because we want more
[56:04] neutral cooking oils with with this with
[56:06] this F it sounds like you're about to
[56:07] say something Jake do we have we have
[56:09] stuff or was I just miss herring yeah
[56:14] you want to do a couple questions yeah
[56:16] let's do some questions this is an easy
[56:17] easy part here I'm just trying to get
[56:19] this really hot so we can really get
[56:21] some color on the corn
[56:22] anyway good okay first Jacob Finkelstein
[56:25] Andrew were you driving in New Jersey
[56:27] yesterday all caps no I know I wasn't
[56:31] was I no no no there was a conversation
[56:33] wasn't him so here's one cool hands 1983
[56:44] said future babish episodes need more
[56:46] sizzle sounds something comforting about
[56:48] hearing food
[56:49] cook as much as seeing it and I totally
[56:51] agree we've talked about it before is a
[56:53] great renovation he's right and we you
[56:56] know we actually recorded the scratch
[56:57] sound we did that on purpose for this
[56:59] most recent round of basic I don't know
[57:03] why we didn't use it I'm gonna have to
[57:05] talk with the boys in Nashville who
[57:07] helped me out with editing that show
[57:10] because it is a multi-camera show it's a
[57:11] bit more complicated and that just saves
[57:14] me a lot of time it brings me sound back
[57:18] because yeah isn't that lovely I'm just
[57:19] gonna my face very very hot this is how
[57:29] mrs. Doubtfire requires I need to be
[57:33] okay I really just want to get a little
[57:37] color on these guys so I'm gonna leave
[57:38] them I'm gonna leave them untouched for
[57:40] like almost an uncomfortable amount of
[57:43] time so the point where I'm sitting here
[57:44] like I want to flip on my wife but it's
[57:47] just gonna put a nice little char on
[57:48] them and that's really what we're after
[57:51] look here's my drink can I get you boys
[57:54] anything to drink in there yeah sure
[57:58] I'll take a drink didn't you want
[58:00] anything
[58:01] I got some bourbon here and I've got
[58:04] some experience and we're eating Mexican
[58:06] tonight it's probably the better way to
[58:07] go
[58:08] yeah I'll come get them okay
[58:11] come say hi to people ah see I flip it
[58:15] goes dumb I'm just trying to get the
[58:16] color in there it's almost there - I can
[58:18] see the little flecks of brown and stuff
[58:20] so don't move it don't touch it don't
[58:22] move it don't touch it and then after
[58:24] that we can make our first case - dia
[58:26] cuz we got everything got all the pizzas
[58:27] everything is a place for everything and
[58:29] everything is placed meson plus if you
[58:31] will so I'm resisting a real every urge
[58:34] which Kamri on right now
[58:36] it's probably probably this one come on
[58:39] come on hint say I if you like and yeah
[58:47] the beers all right over there yeah that
[58:54] guy just popped out you guys see that
[58:55] that the corn is popped out okay if it
[58:58] will flip Sidhu
[58:59] ah okay there's still not much color in
[59:02] here but it's smelling good and smelling
[59:05] like corn that's a good sign right so
[59:07] I'll take that off in a minute it's
[59:11] pretty hard to over saute corn
[59:13] definitely can the point where gets like
[59:15] crispy don't that we're chewy
[59:17] no good but I think we're well we got
[59:21] plenty of time before that happens I got
[59:23] a perfectly good prep bowl over here
[59:24] though my reuse for the corn you know
[59:27] reduce reuse recycle think globally act
[59:32] locally think locally act globally right
[59:34] that's the hell yeah guys remember that
[59:37] all right that's good enough for me I'm
[59:40] gonna kill the heat over here I'm gonna
[59:41] head back over to camera one and I'm
[59:43] going to try not spill any corn
[59:46] embarrass myself but I know I know D I
[59:50] can feel the inevitable and I'm not a
[59:54] control freak you know I think I'm
[59:57] probably gonna do the case of these in a
[59:59] cast iron van today it just feels better
[1:00:00] it honestly works just as well you know
[1:00:03] cast irons way cooler and and it's it's
[1:00:06] better for other applications like
[1:00:07] searing steaks but in this case honestly
[1:00:10] it's gonna it's gonna be it's gonna be
[1:00:12] very good no matter what kind of pain
[1:00:13] you use but I do recommend either cast
[1:00:15] iron or a non-stick pan I would not
[1:00:17] recommend a stainless pan because you
[1:00:18] actually this get the the tortillas
[1:00:20] would probably stick so hang on I'm just
[1:00:23] gonna I'm just gonna throw this in the
[1:00:24] sink it's hot so it's gonna yeah I mean
[1:00:28] I should just rinse this out no no don't
[1:00:32] be
[1:00:33] I've got a whole internet audience
[1:00:35] watching thousands all right so I'm
[1:00:38] gonna grab this fella
[1:00:42] grab this old cast-iron pan that I
[1:00:44] retired because it's got a couple little
[1:00:46] scratches in it but for ya that guy
[1:00:51] should really go in the trash you don't
[1:00:53] want to use scratched up cast-iron oh
[1:00:55] sorry Oh nonstick you don't want to do
[1:00:58] that
[1:00:58] where's my big there's sorry there's a
[1:01:02] lot of stuff in this kitchen folks
[1:01:03] you understand there we go okay so
[1:01:09] cast-iron let's give it a little wipe
[1:01:11] out because I was using it to store my
[1:01:12] bread in because that looks cool right
[1:01:19] and then you know I like to use a lot of
[1:01:23] oil a lot of oil when I'm frying in
[1:01:24] quesadillas let's head back over to
[1:01:26] camera one real quick cuz we're gonna
[1:01:28] have stuff on first so I'm gonna grab my
[1:01:30] tortillas the big ones if you will
[1:01:33] here they're right over here I already
[1:01:36] am so you know obviously this gonna be
[1:01:39] better if you use bad ass tortilla it's
[1:01:41] like you know locally made or whatever
[1:01:43] but some wow we're gonna be frying these
[1:01:47] you know if you were making a burrito
[1:01:49] I'd be bummed out if you made it on this
[1:01:52] because these are pretty flaxseed and
[1:01:55] flavorless and I'd far prefer you use
[1:02:00] some some cooler but then again I also
[1:02:02] understand not everybody can get that
[1:02:04] you're not always near places not
[1:02:06] everybody's in the southwest or in you
[1:02:08] know near near tortilla area dos
[1:02:12] hermanos in Brooklyn
[1:02:14] where the tortilla factory so I
[1:02:16] understand and everybody can get that
[1:02:18] but especially the quesadillas because
[1:02:21] we're we're essentially lightly
[1:02:23] deep-frying these I put a lot of oil in
[1:02:25] the pan not too much as I learned the
[1:02:27] other day but enough to lightly coat the
[1:02:31] bottom of the pan and that really you
[1:02:35] know that that really gives you this
[1:02:37] like incredibly burnished
[1:02:39] crunchy exterior that is just lovely and
[1:02:41] I I want that for you guys okay
[1:02:45] that's what I want for you and that's
[1:02:47] what we're gonna accomplish together so
[1:02:49] mm-hm I'm spreading cheese in a Halfmoon
[1:02:53] formation half moon rising
[1:02:57] whatever the modern astrological signs
[1:03:00] are that I was when I was when I was on
[1:03:02] when I used to be on tinder that's what
[1:03:04] I saw everywhere it was like I'm a Leo
[1:03:06] rising and I sound like an D rating
[1:03:09] right now selling an old man complaining
[1:03:11] about astrological signs but why don't
[1:03:13] we just leave it in cancer and Virgo huh
[1:03:16] what happened to good old-fashioned
[1:03:18] sorry um yes I'm coming apart here uh
[1:03:24] I'm not coming apart but I'm losing my
[1:03:25] mind
[1:03:26] oh here's the peppers okay so I got my
[1:03:28] peppers and onions and I got my corn I'm
[1:03:32] just gonna do a little bit of those at
[1:03:33] each the corners really what's gonna
[1:03:35] make this a you know I'm putting the
[1:03:36] peppers and the onions on everything but
[1:03:37] the corns what's gonna really make this
[1:03:40] vegetarian in case be it's gonna you
[1:03:43] know give it a little bit of variety
[1:03:45] flavor so just spreading these out a
[1:03:50] little bit make sure that is good even
[1:03:52] distribution because remember we're
[1:03:53] cutting this into three pieces so we
[1:03:54] want every bite to have a little bit of
[1:03:56] each and I like stuff in my quesadillas
[1:03:59] pretty good but not crazy I'm gonna just
[1:04:01] focus on here yeah that's better and and
[1:04:08] you know you know you can also do is you
[1:04:10] can sprinkle this with like taco
[1:04:11] seasoning mix but instead what I'm gonna
[1:04:15] do is I'm going to essentially make my
[1:04:18] own taco mix I'm gonna sprinkle it on
[1:04:22] there kind of like how I made um
[1:04:23] occasion seasoning oh oh that would be
[1:04:27] probably pretty good
[1:04:28] emeralds essence when these no let's not
[1:04:31] go crazy what I will do is hit them with
[1:04:36] corn going on the other guy
[1:04:38] to feel left out any big super chests
[1:04:42] that I'm missing any any pressing
[1:04:44] questions in here
[1:04:45] I just don't believe anybody be left out
[1:04:47] here I'm very sorry that I don't see
[1:04:49] everything guys yes
[1:04:51] Sean The Sopranos fan gave another 20
[1:04:54] bucks so appreciated crazy thank you
[1:04:56] and he asked what channels you subscribe
[1:05:00] to you know we talked about Townsend's
[1:05:04] and Steve MRE already dug Demuro got a
[1:05:08] bunch yes done
[1:05:09] yeah Doug tomorrow's a favorite around
[1:05:11] this household who else do I subscribe
[1:05:16] to it you can see over there hot let's
[1:05:22] say aunts Canada dance Canada of course
[1:05:26] thank you for reminding me of ants
[1:05:28] Canada Sawyer brought my attention and
[1:05:30] Canada last week and let me just say
[1:05:34] that I am enthralled even though I
[1:05:35] [ __ ] hate bugs
[1:05:38] thank you I really I don't like spiders
[1:05:40] not all bugs but I really don't like
[1:05:42] spiders
[1:05:43] I don't mind ants at all but I do said
[1:05:45] you I have I have a real problem with
[1:05:47] spiders and that guys love spiders so
[1:05:50] it's um it's a challenge for me to watch
[1:05:53] also just so just so you guys are you
[1:05:56] know savvy to what I'm doing I like to
[1:05:58] really press these down and make sure
[1:05:59] that they're well adhered these are very
[1:06:01] humbly fillings as I said in the video
[1:06:03] they're like the this stuff wants to
[1:06:05] just tumble out and we don't want that
[1:06:07] so so you know I'm just trying to make
[1:06:10] sure that everybody is well adhered and
[1:06:11] everybody's kind of pressed into a
[1:06:13] cheese patty kind of the way I did the
[1:06:15] grilled cheese some of the grilled
[1:06:17] cheeses when I was making a mix I
[1:06:18] pressed it into a patty and then put it
[1:06:20] on the bread and that way it just all
[1:06:21] sort of stuck together I'm a head on
[1:06:22] over to the stovetop here where I'm
[1:06:25] going to thinly coat the bottom of my
[1:06:30] cast-iron pan with vegetable oil this is
[1:06:34] going to be just enough once it once it
[1:06:36] wants it you know swirls around a little
[1:06:38] bit to me just enough to just have a
[1:06:40] nice slight layer on the body
[1:06:42] of my pan and that's gonna effectively
[1:06:46] like almost deep-fry our quesadillas the
[1:06:49] other thing you really want with this
[1:06:51] process I'll get back to YouTube
[1:06:54] channels in a second the other thing you
[1:06:55] really want with this process is a big
[1:06:56] strong spatula because these guys are
[1:06:58] big and you have to you know flip them
[1:07:00] and you don't want a Wimpy spatula for
[1:07:03] that especially it gets hot over here it
[1:07:05] gets crowded in there but you know
[1:07:08] YouTube channels like I you know I
[1:07:10] Oh chef John obviously in love Chef John
[1:07:13] you suck at cooking is one of the is a
[1:07:15] dear friend we did a crossover episode
[1:07:19] of collab a while ago Wow two two
[1:07:23] October's ago good lord we got a we got
[1:07:25] to talk again I still have never met him
[1:07:29] nor have I seen his face like that guy
[1:07:31] is so secretive I don't even know if his
[1:07:33] manager has met him or has seen his face
[1:07:36] he's like he's a mystery we want to get
[1:07:42] the top but we don't want to get it
[1:07:43] smoking hot and a little bit just to
[1:07:53] make sure it's evenly coating the bottom
[1:07:56] last thing we want is you know we're
[1:07:59] getting a influx of chicken comments I
[1:08:02] just want to reassert that this is the
[1:08:04] vegetarian and the chicken comes next is
[1:08:06] that correct yes yes yes we're doing
[1:08:09] chicken quesadillas after this guys this
[1:08:11] is the vegetarian quesadilla do not
[1:08:13] worry your pretty little heads about it
[1:08:15] we will get there I don't think we're
[1:08:18] quite there yet
[1:08:18] are we yeah the wheels just starting to
[1:08:21] shimmer I don't want to smoke obviously
[1:08:23] I'm just gonna see what happens here
[1:08:24] yeah it's sizzling barely but that was
[1:08:28] definitely a little too early so I'm
[1:08:29] gonna give that oh it's going what's
[1:08:31] going but you know you want you want to
[1:08:35] cook these not too quickly I mean you
[1:08:39] want the cheese to really melt sculling
[1:08:41] grilled cheese grilled cheese should be
[1:08:42] made pretty slowly like lovingly because
[1:08:45] you want all the cheese to melt
[1:08:46] you don't want toppings falling out so
[1:08:48] you know okay I got a nice sizzle here
[1:08:51] I'm gonna I'm gonna get in close so you
[1:08:52] guys can hear it
[1:08:56] yeah that's a good sizzle so I'm also
[1:08:59] gonna lower the heat a little bit
[1:09:00] because again I want to I do want to
[1:09:03] cook these relatively slowly not too
[1:09:04] slowly where they're sucking up a bunch
[1:09:06] of oil but um slow enough that the
[1:09:09] cheese can melt and the exterior can get
[1:09:10] brown because I read this article about
[1:09:13] how there's this grilled cheese
[1:09:14] restaurant that uses clarified butter
[1:09:16] and allows them to fry a grilled cheese
[1:09:18] at a very high temperature I'm like why
[1:09:20] would you want to do that like the
[1:09:21] cheese isn't gonna melt it takes time
[1:09:23] for cheese to melt
[1:09:24] I'm not criticizing I'm just curious why
[1:09:29] anybody would want to do that the other
[1:09:30] thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna rotate
[1:09:32] these the fact that they're sliding
[1:09:36] around like that means that the pan is
[1:09:37] good and hot turn this down a little bit
[1:09:40] I brought my quesadillas when I was
[1:09:44] teaching these kids I really don't want
[1:09:45] to do it here so I'll be very
[1:09:47] embarrassed yeah they're not even they
[1:09:50] don't even have any color yet so that's
[1:09:51] perfect actually I really want to cook
[1:09:53] them slow I'm gonna turn the flame up a
[1:09:56] little bit and the reason I'm rotating
[1:09:58] them is because you know cast-iron
[1:10:01] obviously it disperses heat very evenly
[1:10:03] but no pan is gonna do it perfectly
[1:10:06] evenly and I want super even color on
[1:10:08] these quesadillas I want I want them to
[1:10:10] to be matching you know so if we turn
[1:10:14] them every 30 seconds or so it's not
[1:10:16] like it's taking any extra effort it's
[1:10:17] kind of fun actually
[1:10:18] feel like a case of DJ and that's
[1:10:27] actually kind of funny okay we're
[1:10:33] starting to get a little color there but
[1:10:35] again we're taking our sweet sweet time
[1:10:38] because I'm not in a rush for
[1:10:40] quesadillas I'm gonna rush food I'm
[1:10:43] ready I'm willing to wait for good
[1:10:45] quesadillas
[1:10:46] you know this big difference okay I'm
[1:10:48] gonna clean off this workspace over here
[1:10:49] a little bit just so we can bring the
[1:10:52] quesadillas back here and slice them up
[1:10:54] without it being too gross even though
[1:10:56] I'll probably dump toppings everywhere
[1:10:58] accident
[1:10:59] I got the stuff of guacamole guys I'm so
[1:11:01] sad but okay that tinsel was moving
[1:11:05] behind me it scared me
[1:11:06] the here we go here I'll talk more about
[1:11:11] that basically Whole Foods delivered to
[1:11:16] me I didn't have time to physically go
[1:11:18] grocery shopping today so I did delivery
[1:11:20] which is what I do when we're under a
[1:11:22] little bit of time crunch which we are
[1:11:24] because being with babish comes out
[1:11:27] tomorrow and it's been a pretty complex
[1:11:30] episode and there's a lot of pieces that
[1:11:33] need to be perfectly put in place so we
[1:11:36] treated a lot of love and tender care
[1:11:38] I'm gonna grab a plate because it just
[1:11:41] makes flipping these easier like this is
[1:11:44] kind of a working move like you know if
[1:11:46] you're if you know what you're doing
[1:11:47] you're not gonna do this generally oh
[1:11:49] yeah all right so I'm gonna take this
[1:11:51] off and then simply yeah you can see
[1:11:55] that it's it's fried up nicely because
[1:11:56] it's rigid oh God okay yeah Ricky move
[1:12:01] I'm just gonna flip these
[1:12:06] don't need a stupid plate I was I was
[1:12:08] gonna suggest that you know if you're a
[1:12:10] little scared of flipping these because
[1:12:11] I know it's a little scary
[1:12:13] oh you don't don't do that don't do that
[1:12:15] it's a little skits a little scary
[1:12:17] because you're worried you gonna spill
[1:12:18] toppings I guarantee it's what I do
[1:12:20] right now and I'm just gonna turn this
[1:12:24] grab my binging with Tavish oven gloves
[1:12:27] which should be hittin the market
[1:12:30] sometimes in next few months and
[1:12:32] whoopsie deal there we go they're oily
[1:12:36] like they're not like swimming and oil
[1:12:38] they just have enough oil where they've
[1:12:39] lightly deep-fried and boy they're
[1:12:43] they're pretty looking and yeah the
[1:12:48] cheese is getting all melty problem is
[1:12:50] that there's a lip on these tortillas
[1:12:53] that is uh that is acting up and not
[1:12:55] letting it totally be flush with the
[1:12:59] bottom of the cook of the cooking
[1:13:00] service I'm gonna turn that down a
[1:13:03] little bit the cheese is nice and melted
[1:13:05] when I press it I can see it I can see
[1:13:07] it coming out a little bit yeah the
[1:13:09] other problem is that this is aged
[1:13:11] cheddar which is you know as I explained
[1:13:13] if you saw the grilled cheese toasties
[1:13:18] episode yeah oh that's good nice color
[1:13:22] if you saw the grilled cheese episode
[1:13:24] you will notice that I said you know
[1:13:27] aged cheese's exude a lot of oil they
[1:13:29] separate because of the crystallization
[1:13:31] I'm just just saying that like I know
[1:13:34] what I'm talking about I really don't
[1:13:35] uh-huh but if you say anything with
[1:13:38] authority people believe you um but no
[1:13:41] that is true it's because of the
[1:13:42] crystallization that occurs when you
[1:13:44] aged cheeses apparently once you heat it
[1:13:46] that causes the fast to separate and you
[1:13:48] end up with oily cheese and that's what
[1:13:50] we're happening here a little bit this
[1:13:52] cheese is definitely separating but it's
[1:13:53] still gonna be really good I'm not I'm
[1:13:54] not complaining they're definitely done
[1:13:56] by now so I'm gonna head on over to
[1:13:58] camera
[1:14:07] we got one that's a little bit bit
[1:14:10] thicker than the other this smells hot
[1:14:12] did I burn there make sure my stoves off
[1:14:16] no we're good
[1:14:17] in fact if anything it's nicer on this
[1:14:19] side look at that yep look okay we're
[1:14:22] not we're not gonna we're not gonna play
[1:14:24] with faith like that okay we're not
[1:14:26] gonna tempt fate I'm just gonna put
[1:14:28] these together so I don't slice them up
[1:14:30] I'd like to use a pizza slicer it's a
[1:14:32] little bit dignified but I only have
[1:14:35] this stupid teenage Mutant turtle slicer
[1:14:38] so we'll just slice them up normal oh
[1:14:41] yeah and then if you want to get a
[1:14:43] cheese stretch when you're you're poking
[1:14:46] it's hot when you pull these up just put
[1:14:48] them back together that's way the same
[1:14:49] thing I do for grilled cheese put them
[1:14:50] back together and press on the edges
[1:14:52] between the cuts and that's gonna let
[1:14:54] the cheese sort of flow back out if you
[1:14:58] really want to cheese stretch you cut it
[1:14:59] before you fry it but that takes balls
[1:15:01] man oh yeah but that's looking and I

[1:19:01] yeah thanks also I know I said that what
[1:19:08] okay let's clean up a little bit my
[1:19:11] clean up I mean just wipe these things
[1:19:13] away really all we're doing and I think
[1:19:16] you know I'd love to let that chicken
[1:19:18] marinate a little longer if there if
[1:19:21] there are questions I can take to give
[1:19:22] it a little bit more by it a little bit
[1:19:23] more time I'll do that what do you think
[1:19:25] what do you guys think yeah I mean I
[1:19:31] could ask you a couple more questions go
[1:19:38] for it all right
[1:19:40] Oh max was asking why you cook your rice
[1:19:45] that way I think he's referring to
[1:19:47] putting it in the oven it's a good one I
[1:19:49] take the rice yeah yeah I mean baking
[1:19:54] rice they it started with them an Alton
[1:19:58] Brown technique he recommended cooking
[1:20:02] rice in the oven because cooking rice on
[1:20:06] a stove brown rice on a stovetop is
[1:20:08] perilous and you can often end up with
[1:20:10] you know some really mushy kind of
[1:20:13] porridge oh no it's not not not nice
[1:20:16] fluffy individual grains of brown rice
[1:20:20] and by baking it you are effectively
[1:20:24] steaming it sort of not really but sort
[1:20:27] of you're you're you're cooking it more
[1:20:29] gently and letting it just sort of soak
[1:20:30] up water instead of you know it's
[1:20:33] constantly stirring it keeping it from
[1:20:34] scraping or keeping it from sticking on
[1:20:36] the bottom of the pan obviously doing it
[1:20:39] on the stovetop can be done correctly it
[1:20:41] is way more foolproof to do it in the
[1:20:43] oven if you bring the amount of water to
[1:20:46] a boil that it specifies in the
[1:20:49] directions and then add the rice and
[1:20:51] then cover it and then bake it for like
[1:20:53] five minutes longer than they would say
[1:20:55] to boil it on the package it comes out
[1:20:57] perfect every time it's not a
[1:20:59] traditional way of doing things it's not
[1:21:00] like a cool way of doing things it's
[1:21:03] it's it's it's an easy foolproof
[1:21:06] convenient way of doing things
[1:21:08] and for that reason I absolutely love it
[1:21:11] how Oh Nathan's gonna be here soon right
[1:21:14] I just want to make sure he has a hot
[1:21:17] fresh quesadilla all right so that's why
[1:21:20] I see my medicine sorry one question I
[1:21:25] saw a couple of times is do you know any
[1:21:27] Parisian recipes I don't know any
[1:21:30] Persian recipes um I I've had definitely
[1:21:33] had Persian you know there's a lot of
[1:21:36] great spots here in the city
[1:21:39] what's another place that one's yours I
[1:21:41] can't remember but there's a lot of
[1:21:42] great spots here in the city and but I
[1:21:44] personally do not know any Persian
[1:21:46] recipes I also see show and carry said
[1:21:50] do you order fish on Mondays and he gave
[1:21:52] me $20 super chat thank you very much
[1:21:53] Sean and doing fish on Mondays it's um
[1:21:59] I've heard that both that that is true
[1:22:03] and that that's a myth
[1:22:06] that that's a fish is fresher the least
[1:22:09] fresh on Mondays and I've also heard
[1:22:11] that it's Tuesdays I can remember which
[1:22:12] one Bourdain said because it all started
[1:22:15] with him in Kitchen Confidential but
[1:22:19] also that book was written like what
[1:22:21] like 15 years ago or something like that
[1:22:23] I I don't know the exact year that was
[1:22:25] written I'm sorry if I'm wrong but I
[1:22:27] thought it was written the early
[1:22:28] two-thousands at the latest
[1:22:30] and so like 15 ish did whatever how many
[1:22:34] years old and I'm sure that in that time
[1:22:37] shipping and refrigeration practices
[1:22:39] have improved and so I have heard like
[1:22:42] that's that's that's an old wives tale
[1:22:44] and I've have heard that that is you
[1:22:46] know biblical and you need to follow
[1:22:47] that if you value your life so no I
[1:22:50] don't or fish I don't know or sushi on
[1:22:52] Mondays if that's what it's the if
[1:22:54] that's the phenomenon that you're
[1:22:55] referring to I apologize that's if it's
[1:22:56] not I just saw fifty to fifty dollar

[1:23:27] me in making the show it symbolizes a
[1:23:31] lot of things for me just like following

[1:25:34] celebrities do you fall on Instagram I

[1:25:38] I followed the rock underwire buddy he's
[1:25:42] on there I do I do I do follow him I
[1:25:44] follow all Dan Brown get down here
[1:25:46] that's better
[1:25:48] I fall Alton Brown I follow who else in
[1:25:53] history I fall Maisie Williams uh-huh
[1:25:55] that's how we connected initially she DM
[1:25:58] me and said like are you cooking I'm in
[1:26:00] town for Fashion Week you mind if I
[1:26:02] swing by and eat whatever you're making
[1:26:04] and I was like I guess I'm making
[1:26:06] direwolf Breton eyes very quickly
[1:26:08] research to recipe I had like four hours
[1:26:11] I follow probably I probably follow a
[1:26:14] lot more celebrities on Twitter than I
[1:26:16] do on Instagram I don't know why Todd I
[1:26:20] don't know I guess I like hearing their
[1:26:21] thoughts more than I like seeing their
[1:26:23] lives I don't know I have nothing
[1:26:26] against it it's just like my weird
[1:26:28] preference $10 from Paul Arbogast if you
[1:26:33] had to pick just one cheese uh-huh
[1:26:37] just one cheese with the unfortunate
[1:26:41] reality is that it would have to be a
[1:26:42] melter like I can't imagine picking you
[1:26:49] know some four year old aged Gouda or
[1:26:53] cheddar or something you know something
[1:26:55] something really aged and then never
[1:26:56] being able to have an on a grilled
[1:26:59] cheese that isn't swimming in its own
[1:27:01] soup of oil I I can't imagine that so I
[1:27:04] would need to go with a melter and one
[1:27:06] of my favorite melters is Monterey Jack
[1:27:08] it's honestly what I was I wish I was
[1:27:09] putting in these in these right now
[1:27:11] because it's like it's super melty and
[1:27:14] it's got more flavor than it's not like
[1:27:16] as much flavor is a very mild cheddar
[1:27:18] almost it's like a very flavorful
[1:27:20] mozzarella almost I love it I don't care
[1:27:23] okay that's trashy whatever I love
[1:27:27] Monterey Jack and if I had to choose one
[1:27:28] cheese to say I know that's that's a
[1:27:31] not a classy answers but I would need
[1:27:35] something that could melt I suppose I
[1:27:37] could make you know the melty things
[1:27:39] that I made for grilled cheese recently
[1:27:41] but I don't wanna have to do that every
[1:27:42] time and I like the diversity of cheese
[1:27:45] if if I picked my favorite which is
[1:27:47] midnight moon by Cyprus something it's
[1:27:55] it's an aged goat Judah and it's
[1:27:57] unbelievable I love it so much it's like
[1:27:59] slightly crystalline and it's very funky
[1:28:01] but it's very palatable and and and and
[1:28:04] beginners can get into it and cheese
[1:28:06] lovers still enjoy love midnight men but
[1:28:09] I wouldn't if I could only choose one
[1:28:10] cheese I wouldn't shoes that I don't
[1:28:12] want to eat that for the rest of my life
[1:28:13] I want usually when I think cheese I
[1:28:15] think some melty and pull a party and
[1:28:17] all that stuff oh man coming in here
[1:28:21] have you ever thought about doing a
[1:28:23] brisket episode on basics we'd love to
[1:28:24] see you do more barbecue stuff expects a
[1:28:27] barbecue episode on basics soon I won't
[1:28:30] say what but it's it's Pig rather than
[1:28:33] cow but you know keep an eye out because
[1:28:35] it's coming
[1:28:36] mmm let's see paradox Omega gave $10 and
[1:28:41] said hey I've been watching since day
[1:28:42] one just curious on your favorite Thai
[1:28:44] food my favorite Thai food
[1:28:46] I didn't love it's actually not like a
[1:28:50] um an entree and I'm sorry fees are very
[1:28:52] Americanized Thai foods but I love I
[1:28:58] came over the the Thai word for it but
[1:29:01] it's the papaya salad the spicy green
[1:29:05] papaya salad that it's like sometimes
[1:29:08] it's intolerably spicy and I love it and
[1:29:11] then my other favorite thing my favorite
[1:29:12] way I've ever finished a meal I loved
[1:29:14] having coffee after a meal but the best
[1:29:17] thing I've ever had at the end of a meal
[1:29:18] we actually had it in LA and when we
[1:29:20] ordered Thai fellas at our Airbnb was
[1:29:24] that this mango sticky rice like dipped
[1:29:28] in this um wasn't milk but it was like
[1:29:31] there's it had like the texture or the
[1:29:33] consistency of milk but it was sweet so
[1:29:36] I assumed it was maybe a mermaid in
[1:29:38] coconut milk or something like that and
[1:29:39] it was you know it almost it was almost
[1:29:41] like mango sushi for most but it was on
[1:29:43] sweet sticky rice
[1:29:44] and they dip it in the president ha it's
[1:29:47] so good so but you know again that
[1:29:49] speaks my ignorance of genuine Thai I've
[1:29:52] definitely had you know some pretty
[1:29:54] authentic Thai as best we can do here in
[1:29:56] New York City which is pretty good but
[1:29:58] I'm dying to go to Thailand so I can
[1:29:59] have the real thing so I can really see
[1:30:01] what the cuisine is like because it's so
[1:30:03] wide and so varied and so there's so
[1:30:05] much going on and I want to see you know
[1:30:07] the hawkers and you know I want to do
[1:30:09] all this the it's not it's really street
[1:30:12] foods anymore because they if I remember
[1:30:13] correctly in Bangkok they've localized
[1:30:15] them at an indoor shopping mall it's not
[1:30:17] been conquer is that um I think that's
[1:30:21] Bangkok but anyway I think I'm speaking
[1:30:24] out of complete anger is here I don't
[1:30:25] know I don't know these things
[1:30:27] um but nothing and I would love to try
[1:30:29] more more genuine Thai food fort Nixon
[1:30:32] gave $10 and said since you're doing
[1:30:34] this show two questions what would be
[1:30:36] considered your guilty pleasure food and
[1:30:38] have you ever thought about doing a
[1:30:40] binging episode I'm recreating frozen
[1:30:41] slash TV dinners love your stuff thank
[1:30:43] you before next and thank you for the
[1:30:44] super chat what be considered your
[1:30:46] guilty pleasure food oh dear a lot of
[1:30:50] things you know this is a guilty
[1:30:53] pleasure food like it's it's not it's
[1:30:58] it's not like you know trashy or or or
[1:31:01] crappy food it's just not very good for
[1:31:03] you it's like a semi deep-fried cheese
[1:31:05] filled tortilla but uh guilty pleasure
[1:31:09] foods I allow myself to have one Big Mac
[1:31:11] every year that's a big one
[1:31:14] I probably talk about I love Taco Bell
[1:31:18] and I love their double decker tacos I
[1:31:21] love it but you know the Crunchwrap
[1:31:22] supreme oath all the cliche answers and
[1:31:25] I allow myself to have that stuff like
[1:31:26] once a year
[1:31:27] this might be my last meal so to speak
[1:31:30] before a major diet I'm thinking about
[1:31:34] potentially doing a 30-day intensive
[1:31:37] like no sugar no alcohol exercise six
[1:31:41] days a week two times a day like insane
[1:31:44] training program just to see what I can
[1:31:45] do in 30 days like what what's possible
[1:31:50] to do in 30 days
[1:31:52] so I don't know if it's something you
[1:31:54] guys would want to see I'd be very
[1:31:55] curious to see what would happen but I'm
[1:31:59] thinking about doing it and it would
[1:32:00] start tomorrow effectively or Saturday
[1:32:03] rather so this might be one of my last
[1:32:04] real bad meals for a month but we'll see

[1:34:25] do thank you very much I appreciate that
[1:34:26] especially because I don't have any
[1:34:28] training I don't I'm not going to call
[1:34:29] the culinary I didn't go to culinary
[1:34:31] school like our friend that I just
[1:34:33] mentioned is going to yeah no where'd
[1:34:38] you go okay Tucker uh um I'm not I've
[1:34:42] been gone to culinary school and I
[1:34:44] appreciate that because I don't and I'm
[1:34:47] just like you guys I'm figuring it out
[1:34:49] I've just been trying to figure it out
[1:34:51] for like 15 years now and I'm just
[1:34:55] starting to get to a point where I'm
[1:34:56] like okay I can make some food that's
[1:34:58] palatable and I really appreciate your
[1:35:01] guys support and you know keep cooking
[1:35:02] because that's the YouTube is such a
[1:35:04] great place to learn and I'm really
[1:35:06] happy to be part of the many voices the
[1:35:09] chorus of people that are teaching you
[1:35:12] guys so thank you guys so much for
[1:35:13] coming out and hanging out I'm not done
[1:35:15] here I'm gonna start making the chicken
[1:35:17] because I think we've probably killed
[1:35:19] enough time alright so I'm officially
[1:35:22] old just then I just made a noise
[1:35:24] getting up I'm now old that just
[1:35:27] happened alright oh my a to nothing my a
[1:35:39] alright ideally you know I should have
[1:35:43] flipped this about halfway through just
[1:35:44] to make sure that you know we're getting
[1:35:45] even dispersal of the marinade but it's
[1:35:49] fine we're just doing this for
[1:35:50] demonstration purposes today I am going
[1:35:52] to cook this in a nonstick skillet be
[1:35:54] just because it's just gonna be a little
[1:35:57] easier and also I just don't like I
[1:36:00] don't want to get stuff stuck all over
[1:36:03] my all over my cast-iron so I can't do
[1:36:06] the next case at the end there I don't
[1:36:07] have to wash it out so we're just gonna
[1:36:09] do it in here
[1:36:10] and same deal as the vegetables I'm
[1:36:12] going to mate it with vegetable oil this
[1:36:15] time because that olive oil really
[1:36:16] really gunked up the works but I want to
[1:36:19] have a fair amount of olive oil in there
[1:36:21] and I want to get this pretty hot
[1:36:22] because we I mean normally I would
[1:36:24] butterfly the the breasts and make them
[1:36:26] super thin and pound them out but you
[1:36:30] know these are pretty thin I'm just
[1:36:31] gonna just try to cook them as they are
[1:36:34] and they should cook pretty quickly but
[1:36:36] the idea here is that we want to cook
[1:36:38] the chicken quickly so it doesn't dry
[1:36:39] out because if you're cooking bare
[1:36:41] chicken breasts no skin to protect the
[1:36:44] meat you are going to have dry stringy
[1:36:47] chicken on the exterior of the breasts
[1:36:49] but if we get the interiors usually as
[1:36:51] juicy as possible and then cut the
[1:36:53] chicken into small pieces across the
[1:36:56] grain we're not going to have as much
[1:36:59] problems with stress or dryness so give
[1:37:03] it a shot just so I don't have to cuz I
[1:37:10] don't want to do a whole bunch of sink
[1:37:11] noises while you guys are waiting for me
[1:37:14] to get back in front of the camera it's
[1:37:16] not the most entertaining thing in the
[1:37:17] world that imagine what we're taking
[1:37:19] viewers pretty well right now if I am
[1:37:21] not mistaken what we do are we looking
[1:37:22] at here we got five point eight the last
[1:37:24] I checked nope that's that's the video
[1:37:26] that's not that's not the livestream
[1:37:28] okay we're down to 4,600 still thank you
[1:37:31] guys so much for for hanging out thank
[1:37:33] you guys for watching I hope you're
[1:37:35] trying this yourselves or if you're not
[1:37:37] the earth
[1:37:37] joining me with a drink or if that's not
[1:37:40] your baguette I just think you having a
[1:37:42] good night and thank you for spending it
[1:37:44] with me and my boys we love you guys and
[1:37:47] we love each other and all okay so
[1:37:52] getting the chicken out of here I'm
[1:37:54] trying to shake off too much I don't
[1:37:56] want tons of marinade on there but it is
[1:37:58] oil and lime juice so it's not the end
[1:38:00] of the world but um
[1:38:01] I also don't want any the garlic cloves
[1:38:04] on there
[1:38:08] yeah once I was going close you got a
[1:38:10] little fire with fire
[1:38:13] no nice go with garlic cloves gonna burn
[1:38:18] if I just put him directly in there make
[1:38:21] sure there's no garlic cloves down they
[1:38:23] go I don't want them crowded try to get
[1:38:25] them away from each other they don't
[1:38:27] [Music]
[1:38:33] yeah all right
[1:38:36] that's fun let's do that again that's
[1:38:40] what that's what it really makes your
[1:38:41] kitchen smell like a restaurant when you
[1:38:43] do that because that's what you're
[1:38:45] really smelling in a restaurant kitchen
[1:38:47] is you're smelling an aerosolized burnt
[1:38:49] soil because it'll do that over one of
[1:38:51] the keys to great food in restaurants
[1:38:54] why restaurant food is so good it's
[1:38:55] because they have such incredibly high
[1:38:58] heat to play with they have such
[1:39:02] incredibly high heat to play with and
[1:39:04] that's one of the reasons their food is
[1:39:06] so darn good it's that and a lot of
[1:39:08] clutter really yeah we're just trying to
[1:39:11] get a good shot see that got a little
[1:39:12] start of a char there I want that all
[1:39:14] over so we're gonna turn this a little
[1:39:16] bit these guys a little bit get them
[1:39:19] exposed to different parts of the flame
[1:39:21] and yeah so they're constantly just
[1:39:25] learning with so much you know really
[1:39:28] powerful blower burners like this one
[1:39:29] and then you know inevitable when you go
[1:39:32] like this the aerosol is oil it's gonna
[1:39:35] catch on fire and that smell I've worked
[1:39:37] in a few restaurants in my life and that
[1:39:39] smell is so singularly restaurant it's
[1:39:43] so singularly a restaurant kitchen and I
[1:39:46] kind of miss it sometimes but that life
[1:39:48] is honestly way too intense for me you
[1:39:51] know restaurant kitchens are
[1:39:53] such such high-pressure places and if
[1:39:57] you can handle it more power to you
