    You're my favorite chef of all time! You are the reason why I eat delicious food. I was sick and tired of over well done cooked steak with only salt and pepper growing up (when we could afford it). Also I was tired of just eating eggs and noodles all my childhood. You taught me to learn how to cook and how to cook with flavor 😂. You're my real life hero! Thank you for all your hard work and passion for food. If it wasn't for PBS channel 8 and you having your show my stomach and heart would never be satisfied ❤. You're the man!

    Well I have used flank steak before, but that’s because I couldn’t find a skirt.
    (I can’t believe a pro cut the 2nd one with the grain. The grain is easier to see on a skirt or a flank than literally any other cut. The master blew it here. I can’t believe he did it and I can’t believe it got past editing and got posted. Makes the master look like any other trainee making a mistake)

  • @SorryAboutYourMom
    @SorryAboutYourMom 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So in case anyone is wondering why you cut against the grain; it's so when you eat it, you're eating into the grain and it breaks easier allowing you to chew it to tiny pieces faster. All the tiny pieces can scatter across the tongue, and with all of the meaty surface area gets to be enjoyed. Works with all meats, especially fish.
