Hi James. It's me again. I did my trial in the kitchen and the 2 chefs really liked me. The owner, however, said he is reluctant tot take on a mature trainee... so after some back an forth discussion he said he would take me on as a formal apprentice chef. today we are going to continue the discussion... any advice?
I gasped pretty loudly when I saw her wash the beef. It was the last thing I expected out of all of the cooking reactions I’ve seen. It was such a tragedy
I actually got sick. There should be a fine for such a crime - 20 000 $ or so... But I really would like to see how the Chef of "The Hunger" would have reacted to this.
Chef James rocks that orange shirt he's wearing. Seems like he's really channeling Uncle Roger in this. May God bless him and everyone else around here.
Watching Chef James actually get mad was surprising and funny. I was with you the whole way and lost it too! Especially, once she puts the Nerds on that nasty pasta.
my fiancee is a cook and she caught me binge watching your reaction videos and she said your analysis of kitchen standards is on point. since then we always watch your videos. I even learnt the finger rule for measuring rice water from your video. tried it today and my rice cooked very well. not watery and not soggy. 🙌😄
Love your videos so far! I also used to not understand why vegans/vegetarians would want a fake version of the foods they avoid. And then in my late 20s I developed an allergy to shellfish and in my late 30s I developed an allergy to mammal meat after getting bit by a lone star tick. Even years later, I still crave red meat, especially bacon, steak, a nice juicy burger, and I miss a lot of the Chinese and Korean dishes I grew up with that contain oyster sauce or shrimp paste. So now I’m just grateful for people making vegan kim chee, and turkey bacon. It’s not the same, but it does help when I have cravings I can’t satisfy. The idea of developing a food allergy must be terrifying for a professional chef!
Yes I completely get it. I mean going vegetarian or vegan isn't supposed to be like some penance where you swear off a thing you enjoy. But you might feel that a particular food tasting good is not enough justification for killing a living creature. That doesn't mean that food doesn't still taste good, just that you can't reconcile eating it with your ethical principles. Perfectly fine to find a replacement. And I have to say as a meat-eater, some of those replacements are delicious in their own right and I will sometimes order them over the meat option.
Ticks always scared me, with lyme disease and all that. But after learning about that red meat allergy that they can give you, I'm even more terrified of them. However, I also heard that the allergy can wear off after a couple of years. And there's imitation shellfish that is pretty good too.
Vegans avoid food that end up harming animals because of ethical reasons but they still might like the taste of those kind of food, they just sacrifice that in order to be ethical. So it makes sense for them to eat something that replicates the taste. Although usually these imitation doesn’t even come close to the taste so most vegans don’t go for it.
Alpha-Gal is a horrible thing. I have friends (a couple) who both got it. I asked if they had tried Impossible burgers. They were excited. I told them to check with an allergist if the heme (a blood protein) would cause problems. It doesn't. Something you could use for the cravings. It's good tasting as well.
Congratulations on the 70K Chef! After watching you suffer through most of the Tik Tok videos, no-one can say that this achievement came easy. Thanks a lot for your hard work!!
@@ChefJamesMakinson Errr... so you are still living in Spain, if I get it right? Sigues en Barcelona? Debería pasarme por alli, hace tiempo que no voy... y respecto al sushi, habrás notado como han explotado los restaurantes de sushi en los últimos 5 años... como setas tras la lluvia! :D Un saludo, me gusta tu estilo
I also never noticed before how efficient Uncle Roger's filming setup is. I thought he was recording the nephew bits after the fact from a different location, but he's actually just got an asymmetrical set that looks significantly different from a 90 degree angle, and the cameras are not at the same offset from center, so it doesn't look like a mirror image when he turns to the other cam.
It's probably been mentioned elsewhere, but the reason why non-stick pots and pans, as well as good knives, should not be placed in the dishwasher is the fact that the detergents used contain abrasives (needed to remove food particles). As an aside, you can use a dishwasher to sanitize knives, bottles, post, and pans. So long as the dishwasher is clean, and you don't use any detergent (rinse solutions should be okay), a dishwasher can get MUCH hotter than what you get out of the tap, and will remove exponentially more microorganisms as a result. Fun Fact: When my lab is out in the field, we bring an Instant Pot Max with us to act as a makeshift autoclave. It can get to 15psi of pressure, and 121oC, so can sterilize most small equipment. Where I am (Ontario, Canada, just outside Toronto), sushi is incredibly popular, but a lot of it isn't what I'd call traditional. Pretty well every grocery store sells a variety of California Rolls, salmon, and tuna rolls, but a lot of it is things like fried shrimp. Now most cities will have a variety of casual sushi restaurants, and a few really good places in cities >100,000 people. They can range from mid-high in terms of price...with some cracking into the "I just paid $50 for 2 pieces of toro sashimi", but it's very widespread. Edit: Holy s#!t! Candy in whatever the heck that was? The only thing I can think as a positive is that Nerds are basically pure sugar with some citric acid and artificial flavourings/colourings, but no...just no.
That wasn't even grease she was rinsing out of the ground beef. Look when the puts it in the pan, that was VERY lean beef. She overcrowded the pan, so the meat boiled and all the water came out of it. She basically rinsed away water with water.
I'm from Poland and from what I've seen, Poles either love sushi or they hate it. Some people have great appreaciation for it and there are lots of sushi bars / restaurants, while others couldn't swallow a single piece. Also, Vincenzo has some great pizza-related videos you could react to.
Potwierdzam. Sushi is indeed a hit or miss in terms of Poles' likings. Also it depends on the bar, because one bar is pretty solid, while the other could be absolute piss.
In new Zealand sushi is very popular I would say. Especially chicken but we have some of, if not the best seafood in the world. So there are a few world class expensive sushi places here.
I always ALWAYS open my oven before turning it on. Apart from checking whether I've stored something there, it's also good to make sure the racks are placed on the right level for what you're cooking.
Vincenzo's plate has some really great pizza videos. If you are looking for pizza videos to review, then I would pick some of his. He is almost like an Italian version of Uncle Roger. He can be a really funny guy.
Sushi was everywhere in the Philippines when I was growing up. But we also had our own raw fish dishes called “kinilaw” - a Philippine ceviche. In Toronto, sushi is everywhere and is a go to dish by most people.
@@ChefJamesMakinson Here’s a kinilaw recipe if you’re curious. th-cam.com/video/WbVvHIuMhWs/w-d-xo.html Also, even though sushi is everywhere in the Philippines, it was more for middle to upper class due to the price. Regular everyday people had more local cuisine (like kinilaw which has many versions per region).
I love the combination of you and Uncle Roger. You balance out the hilarious reviews he does with a calm informative nature but still keep it entertaining. Very glad I found your channel through Uncle Rogers
Sushi exploded in my town a few years ago. I suppose it helps that we have an engineering college in town and a military base, so lots of people crave foreign food that's healthy. Our town even started a chain called "Fusian" where they make sushi "chipotle-style" where you pick the ingredients and they make the roll in front of you. Local supermarkets make sushi fresh daily, two sushi chains popped up and even the chinese restaurants in town started serving it. So, pretty popular, lol. Love sushi.
Congratulations on 70,000 Chef!!! Excellent review and your commentary as always very educational. I think it would be interesting if you review American pizza vs. Italian pizza. I'm in the USA and would like to see how our pizzas (ie: NY, Detroit, Chicago, L A. Styles, etc.) compare to Italian pizzas. Keep up the great work!!!
You should absolutely check out a ton of Guga's dry-age experiments. A lot of interesting results there. Also, another good one from Guga is his sous-vide 30 day brisket video.
The spray oil is for calorie counting, it’s a lot easier to use a small amount with the sprays. It’s quite common inn the bodybuilding community for cutting.
Sadly true, I have the Shredded Chefs books. I skip using it. The third edition is the best one. I love the Sage Mustard Pork Tenderloin one !! I also do the Cajun Veg pork but with seared PT instead of chops.
I was born in Poland and we eat fish a lot, because fishing is like the to go Hobby for a lot of dads. Of course most of the time we don't eat it raw, but fish Tatar was an exception. So after getting in contact with Japanese culture it came almost naturally to me to like sushi (1995 kid, growing up with dragon Ball, getting into more of it, after internet became more accessible). I find that Korean and Japanese cuisine fits my taste the most out of all Asian cuisine.
Chef James deserves to be awarded the Uncle title, we need Uncle Roger to review his cooking. :) Lookin at both of them wear similar orange tops is weirdly funny lol, had me giggling the whole video. Edit: and yes!! More guests on the channel would be amazing.
@@ChefJamesMakinson true, but I'm gonna comment every chance i get, i want to see u on his channel :) Maybe make the Jamie Oliver fried rice recipe for real with 100% effort and try it out ha ha.
Speaking of candy in hearty food: check out Mythical Kitchen, where Josh pulls off such weird combinations for fun (and profit). Snickers deep dish pizza looked phenomenal (while doing double-duty by being an April Fool's parody of Binging with Babish) and his fairly recent Skittles experiment graded by a food critic is also worth a shot.
also is no one gonna talk about the fact that the lady that strained the beef literally learnt it in her nutrition class (thats what it says at the start of the video)
Regarding storing things in the oven (usually spare baking sheets for me) I only learned like 2 years ago that the drawer under the oven was supposed to be for bread, not pan storage 😅
I love sushi myself (not a fan of tuna, but I love salmon sushi and sashimi), and it does seem to be quite popular here in Canada, and I would imagine in the US as well. I feel like I remember sushi restaurants started popping up everywhere, in my city at least, about 10-15 years ago. My city tends to be behind in those aspects though (we only got a pho place maybe 7 years ago for example, and only just got a second one).
Pho hit the US in the 1980's. They were everywhere. Less now, just like Thai the bad ones went away. Sushi has grown at a more healthy pace and may last. Even Costco has a daily supply and it is better than from any grocery.
12:30 I had veggie sausage at work bc they served it as a heart healthy option and it was very good. I like it when they add the same spices but make it with beans. I avoid pork so I like pork alternatives and sometimes its easiest to just get vegetarian options. Monologue here lol.
I appreciate Chef James' tips and explanations of the various processes/techniques to help achieve a better end product. Incredibly useful bits of information for those like myself that want to elevate their cooking game and develop better flavor in their meals. Awesome, thank you Chef.
I've had so many people say they don't like sushi because they don't like raw fish. When i made sushi i was able to get people to like sushi with veggi rolls. The look in some of their eyes when i told them i could make them something was great. It's so cool the happiness food can bring to people.
I would say Japanese cuisine in general, including sushi is quite popular where I am from (Singapore), and I understand it is also popular with our neighbours like Malaysia (I have Malaysian colleagues who really like Japanese food). Personally, I prefer sashimi to sushi though (I think it might be because in Singapore, restaurants have the tendency to put too much rice into sushi), and raw fish is actually quite common in East Asian food (some groups of south Chinese often have it during Lunar New Year, for example, and the Teochew and Hainanese (at least in Singapore, not sure about China and other diasporas) have it with rice porridge as part of a meal).
Where I'm from, it's not extremely popular but there are some Asian restaurants that serve it very authentically and they have pretty consistent crowd that comes to them. Even the grocery store near my house started to make it fresh daily. Not exactly like the restaurants but still fairly good.
Nope, the fish is old and stale, Costco's supplier die no❤tube old fish like groceries. Shops are still better but use o e that does NOTHING BUT SUSHI not just Japanese. Do that and you will like it. Just makes Sue the Wasabi is on the side like Costco does.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I'm a vegan who converted long ago because of factory farming and other ethical reasons. That being said, I used to enjoy the flavor and texture of meat. Looking back, I realize it was because of the fatty texture, salt, seasonings and aromas. I understand why some people try to recreate those flavors, textures and aromas. It makes it easier to transition and stay on the vegetarian/vegan journey. Over time, though, one's tastes change. I've happily adapted to plant based flavors and textures, so each dish stands on its own, without needing to be "meat". Thanks again for your engaging videos. Please, everyone, subscribe!
Was about to say the same thing, since I've already heard this hundreds of times. Funnily enough, after being vegan for almost sex years now, I can't even stand most meat substitutes because of this almost perfectly replicated taste. On the other hand, discovering different eating cultures and learning more about cooking, herbs, flavours and so on made me realise the sheer abundance of different tastes compared to before I went vegan.
@@Behindthejab Last time I checked, factory farming referred to animal acrigulture by definition. Or what do you think CAFO means? If you do have some deeper knowledge, please, do enlighten us, since you seem to have so many valid points
@@mariusmeyer3243 it is, but no healthier than monocropping which is how veg is grown which kills everything remotely close to the farm. If you want ethical sources of meat it’s not hard to find
Sushi is popular in certain parts of Canada, I find in Southern Ontario it is very popular, but the more North you go the less it is. It also depends on how much fishing each province is known for
From Thailand. Love to see your reaction that try to control yourself to not over laughing or disgusting but sometime hard to control. LOL. Also to get learn when you explanation from their mistaken. Very useful and fun together. Congrat to your 70k you deserve it!
Ragusea and Vincenzo both have pretty good pizza videos in general. One is obviously geared towards American style home cooks and the other traditional. Could be worth a review.
I'm Canadian, and sushi is popular enough to be sold at supermarkets around. At least in Ontario. Even rural markets where I live. That said, people who like sushi generally know better than to buy the stuff at the grocery store. If I want to enjoy my meal I'll drive to the city where a proper sushi place is
When I watched that woman strain the beef and THEN WASH IT WITH WATER, I teared up a little bit. Makes me realize I'm not as bad at cooking as others, which is nice lol... Spoke too soon, just now got to the nerd pasta. Dear god that's a crime.
That woman only missed one trick. She should have tossed a good 1/2 cup or so of cheap Vodka in with the meat while cooking. That way when she carefully rinsed all of the fat-soluble and water-soluble flavors out of the meat, she could have eliminated the alcohol-soluble components as well.
In the US, sushi is fairly popular. As many states and cities here I've been to, sushi is easily found at the store or certain types of eateries(fastfood college cafe's or sushi bar in a Chinese buffet). Most of the time, there's just a straight up sushi restaurant, usually treated as a bit of a fancy occasion for a nice date night.
sushi is relatively new here too (ca 20years?) and seen as somewhat fancier than chinese food here. a lot of people love it and a lot of people are afraid of the raw fish because we are closer to the mountains than the sea
2:24 Yes. I only used a commercial dishwasher because I was sick during a waitering class, then worked as a glassie in a bar. That said: I still don't use the dishwasher at home. It's full of spare plastic bottles. We do use the oven, though.
Daddy Noel is a South African bodybuilder who does a lot of fitness education, teaching you how to make low calorie meals (why he used spray) or how to do different lifts. This portion would have been small for him since he’s enhanced but for the majority of his follow who are much smaller than him it works as 1 of the 5-6 meals they’re eating a day
Sushi is very popular in the United States, at least in the coastal cities. There is a significant Asian population here which helps. I did have some trouble getting my Midwestern girlfriend to like it though 😅
Pac NW, my neighbors are 1/3 Asian / another 30 percent Indian and then the rest. Get your spices from an Indian Supermarket. Their herbs are not good except ones like dill that they use a lot. Their cilantro is always limp and old.
About rinsing mushroom: Fun trivia, in my native language (Sweden) the word for Sponge and Mushroom is the same, Svamp! (On the flipside, the word for Poison and Being Married is also the same, Gift)
I'm in a fairly rural part of Texas, we've got probably 5 sushi restaurants of varying quality between three small cities! Helps we live just a few miles inland on the gulf, and have some of the best seafood fisheries in the world! The point of draining beef like that is to get some of the fat/grease out of really cheap ground beef. When you're stuck using 70/30 or something to make something that's not supposed to be super heavy.... yeah, A LOT of people will drain cheap ground beef.
I'm not a trained chef although I wanted to take that path after working in many restaurants and really learning a lot through those jobs I've been doing home cooking for a lot of years after having changed career choices (manual labor work can be very taxing) I very much enjoy these videos because I appreciate your forgiveness of things excepting common sense I've also learned a lot Thank you 😊
“If you’re going to eat something, I don’t see the point of making it taste like something you want to give up.” THANK YOU!! I’ve been saying that for years, and it’s why I avoid “faker” recipes.
Its pretty simple: You give up on meat, because you want to reduce animal suffering and don't support slaughter or the conditions of factory farming, but you do like the taste of meat. Its a moral decision to give up, not because you don't like the taste! 90% of vegetarians/vegans don't give up on meat/milk products etc because they don't like the taste but for the animal welfare thought! Hope that helped clarifying. 😃
I am not vegan or vegetarian myself, but my girlfriend is. She actually likes meat - but doesn't eat it for moral reasons. Making something else taste like meat is something that would really help her out.
There are also people who don’t have a choice in not eating it People can develop allergies in later life so having alternatives without those allergies is quite useful
I was vegetarian for 8 months until two weeks ago (iron got too low, starting again soon) and I absolutely get the point of making something taste like meat if you're vegetarian, especially if you grew up with it. Like someone below said, you can like the taste of meat and not support it. Making something taste like meat can ease cravings and help someone adjust to the lifestyle. It can also help replicate dishes you miss.
Ncie reaction as always :D Love how educational these are. As for sushi... Five years ago it was just something you bought from random Asian restaurants but nowadays it is so popular in Finland that many stores sell pre-packed sushi and quite many hypermarkets have their own sushi-restaurant as part of the complex.
Sushi is ridiculously popular in Singapore (at least in my experience). Trays of ready-made sushi are available in almost all medium-large local supermarkets, and Japanese restaurants are beloved. I wasn’t madly in love with sushi in my teenage years, but have since warmed up to it 😂
Sashimi in Australia has been growing in popularity over the past 10 years or so, most supermarkets sell them and one supermarket chain actually make them fresh in store. I found another store chain is selling Don bowls which is beef or chicken with rice and vegetables ready to eat.
I live in Western Pennsylvania and my family uses the oven as a bread box. When oven is not in use we store the desserts, breads, and other snack stuffs
I use avocado oil in many Asian dishes because it's neutral and has a much higher smoke point than other oils. I do have a gallon jug of peanut oil meant to use for deep frying that might have other uses.
In Sydney Australia Sushi is VERY popular, and has been for decades. Basically impossible to not bump into take away or restaurant sushi if you are in any built up commercial area. I could plonk you down next to townhall, point you in any random direction and you would be able to find sushi eventually. Legitimately 4-5 places that serve sushi within 1 mile of where I live.
The spaghetti with Nerds reminded me of a fast-food "specialty" from the city I live in (Nijmegen, the Netherlands): it's called Discodel and it's a sausage that's normally served with mayo or curry ketchup, but this time with an extra of disco dip. The inventor was NOT sober at the time, but it has made its wey onto the menu of some snackbars
I'm from California and sushi is a staple here. Sushi is like tacos, pizza, burgers, whatever. It's like totally normal food. You can get it at grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, food trucks, etc...
In southern Germany, mushrooms are called "Schwammerl" (=little sponges). That's why we don't use water to wash them, instead, we mostly only use brushes to get rid of the dirt or the older generation puts the mushrooms together with flour in a bowl and Shake it well.
When it comes to sushi, as in sashimi or nigiri and not some fancy designer roll...I LOVE it. Definitely my favorite food. When I have family or friends visit from Europe, a lot of them are like "OMG! How can you eat this?" and then they turn around and ask if there are any Mettbrötchen available, which is raw pork on a Kaiser Roll. Yeah, I take my chances with raw fish vs raw pork any day of the week.
Im from Singapore and just recently started watchinf Chef James reacting with Uncle Roger vids and im addicted...lol....Im from Singapore and sushi is everywhere....
@@ChefJamesMakinson Singapore is a food paradise so im sure you will love all the varities here....Food from all over the world can be found here easily.
6:50 - I live in Poland, and here it's normal to have sushi. The convenience store 1 minute away from my apartment has a couple sushi sets available in the "ready packaged food" section :) Ok, I don't watch tiktoks, and now I'm happy I didn't jump on that weird train :D
I'm from the US, and sushi is EVERYWHERE. I live in a town with just over 500k people in it very far from the ocean, and we still have two really good sushi places in town
I like sushi. - Like almost everyone else I know. In my hometown Vienna (Austria) it is a quite common dish to order in restaurants or as delivery food. Even supermarkets sell fresh sushi as lunch snack.
Where I live in Minnesota there has only been one authentic sushi restaurant and unfortunately it got put out of business from Covid, but we all kinda knew it didnt have much longer anyway since they didnt get much service :(
Funny you asked about the Sushi thing, Here in the Netherlands it is still very popular. I was in Leon Spain in June, and there is a very good sushi restaurant in the Center, but people from spain are not really digging it, because it does not do Tapas style food. only complete dinner. It seems to be very popular amongst the pilgrim walkers that go up to Santiago. We looked at it for a few days and decided to go there, and I must say it was very, very good. Miu Japones it was called.
It's pretty popular here in upstate New York. We have a few resturaunts that mainly sell sushi and you can get a wide variety of sushi from any Wegmans around here. The California roll is my personal favorite.
Sushi is possibly my favorite food. I'm lucky to live in a techy area of the us, Awe have a huge number of highly skilled people from all over Asia, so we have lots of options for food and people are very sushi aware here (plus there is a rare Japanese market that I can buy fatty tuna from)
Adelaide, Australia. Sushi is *incredibly* popular. We have plenty of cafés for Japanese and Korean style sushi, we have hole-in-the-wall stands where you can just buy a roll or two to eat on your way, fried sushi at stands, etc.
I live in Southeast Texas, on the Gulf Coast, and sushi was unheard of here 20 years ago. In fact, the only person I knew who had eaten it was my Dad because he traveled extensively. It was something you heard about people in New York eating (for example) but not accessible here. Now, it's very widely available and popular. I love it. 😊
When I started culinary school my mom bought me pans and a cook book as Christmas presents for 3 years and the pans came in sets and i had nowhere to store them so they went in the oven also the "cook books" were the overpriced magazines at grocery store checkouts

However, I also heard that the allergy can wear off after a couple of years.
And there's imitation shellfish that is pretty good too.
Vegans avoid food that end up harming animals because of ethical reasons but they still might like the taste of those kind of food, they just sacrifice that in order to be ethical. So it makes sense for them to eat something that replicates the taste. Although usually these imitation doesn’t even come close to the taste so most vegans don’t go for it.
Alpha-Gal is a horrible thing. I have friends (a couple) who both got it. I asked if they had tried Impossible burgers. They were excited. I told them to check with an allergist if the heme (a blood protein) would cause problems. It doesn't. Something you could use for the cravings. It's good tasting as well.

It's probably been mentioned elsewhere, but the reason why non-stick pots and pans, as well as good knives, should not be placed in the dishwasher is the fact that the detergents used contain abrasives (needed to remove food particles).
As an aside, you can use a dishwasher to sanitize knives, bottles, post, and pans. So long as the dishwasher is clean, and you don't use any detergent (rinse solutions should be okay), a dishwasher can get MUCH hotter than what you get out of the tap, and will remove exponentially more microorganisms as a result.
Fun Fact: When my lab is out in the field, we bring an Instant Pot Max with us to act as a makeshift autoclave. It can get to 15psi of pressure, and 121oC, so can sterilize most small equipment.
Where I am (Ontario, Canada, just outside Toronto), sushi is incredibly popular, but a lot of it isn't what I'd call traditional. Pretty well every grocery store sells a variety of California Rolls, salmon, and tuna rolls, but a lot of it is things like fried shrimp.
Now most cities will have a variety of casual sushi restaurants, and a few really good places in cities >100,000 people. They can range from mid-high in terms of price...with some cracking into the "I just paid $50 for 2 pieces of toro sashimi", but it's very widespread.
Edit: Holy s#!t! Candy in whatever the heck that was? The only thing I can think as a positive is that Nerds are basically pure sugar with some citric acid and artificial flavourings/colourings, but no...just no.
Simultaneous shock face from Uncle Roger and you was priceless 🤣🤣🤣. Greetings from Chile!
It's great that you're getting sponsored! It's really nice to listen to your voice, I often play your videos while cooking. Cheers, Chef!
Thanks! 😃
That wasn't even grease she was rinsing out of the ground beef. Look when the puts it in the pan, that was VERY lean beef. She overcrowded the pan, so the meat boiled and all the water came out of it. She basically rinsed away water with water.
I'm from Poland and from what I've seen, Poles either love sushi or they hate it. Some people have great appreaciation for it and there are lots of sushi bars / restaurants, while others couldn't swallow a single piece. Also, Vincenzo has some great pizza-related videos you could react to.
Pretty much anyone can find something they like, far from all sushi consists of raw fish.
Potwierdzam.
Sushi is indeed a hit or miss in terms of Poles' likings.
Also it depends on the bar, because one bar is pretty solid, while the other could be absolute piss.
In new Zealand sushi is very popular I would say. Especially chicken but we have some of, if not the best seafood in the world. So there are a few world class expensive sushi places here.
More or less the same in the US, people either love it or hate it. A lot of people are also pretty squeamish about raw fish here too
Sushi is just another option like Indisn or Italian in the US. It is THE Japanese food in the Us.
I always ALWAYS open my oven before turning it on. Apart from checking whether I've stored something there, it's also good to make sure the racks are placed on the right level for what you're cooking.
Vincenzo's plate has some really great pizza videos. If you are looking for pizza videos to review, then I would pick some of his. He is almost like an Italian version of Uncle Roger. He can be a really funny guy.
Congrats on 70K, bro!! You are KILLING it!!
Thank you very much buddy! :)
Sushi was everywhere in the Philippines when I was growing up. But we also had our own raw fish dishes called “kinilaw” - a Philippine ceviche.
In Toronto, sushi is everywhere and is a go to dish by most people.
Very interesting!
@@ChefJamesMakinson Here’s a kinilaw recipe if you’re curious. th-cam.com/video/WbVvHIuMhWs/w-d-xo.html
Also, even though sushi is everywhere in the Philippines, it was more for middle to upper class due to the price. Regular everyday people had more local cuisine (like kinilaw which has many versions per region).
Hold up, we have our own ceviche?? God id love to try that.
I love the combination of you and Uncle Roger. You balance out the hilarious reviews he does with a calm informative nature but still keep it entertaining. Very glad I found your channel through Uncle Rogers
Sushi exploded in my town a few years ago. I suppose it helps that we have an engineering college in town and a military base, so lots of people crave foreign food that's healthy. Our town even started a chain called "Fusian" where they make sushi "chipotle-style" where you pick the ingredients and they make the roll in front of you.
Local supermarkets make sushi fresh daily, two sushi chains popped up and even the chinese restaurants in town started serving it.
So, pretty popular, lol. Love sushi.
Congratulations on 70,000 Chef!!! Excellent review and your commentary as always very educational. I think it would be interesting if you review American pizza vs. Italian pizza. I'm in the USA and would like to see how our pizzas (ie: NY, Detroit, Chicago, L A. Styles, etc.) compare to Italian pizzas. Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you so much Jeff!! :)
You should absolutely check out a ton of Guga's dry-age experiments. A lot of interesting results there.
Also, another good one from Guga is his sous-vide 30 day brisket video.
More importantly, salt the steak the night before on a grate. Trust me. I prefer using clarified butter with thyme.
The spray oil is for calorie counting, it’s a lot easier to use a small amount with the sprays. It’s quite common inn the bodybuilding community for cutting.
Sadly true, I have the Shredded Chefs books. I skip using it. The third edition is the best one. I love the Sage Mustard Pork Tenderloin one !! I also do the Cajun Veg pork but with seared PT instead of chops.
Sushi is my absolute favorite. It's extremely common to see it in grocery stores in the US. I eat it for lunch almost every day
I was born in Poland and we eat fish a lot, because fishing is like the to go Hobby for a lot of dads. Of course most of the time we don't eat it raw, but fish Tatar was an exception. So after getting in contact with Japanese culture it came almost naturally to me to like sushi (1995 kid, growing up with dragon Ball, getting into more of it, after internet became more accessible). I find that Korean and Japanese cuisine fits my taste the most out of all Asian cuisine.
Chef James deserves to be awarded the Uncle title, we need Uncle Roger to review his cooking.
:)
Lookin at both of them wear similar orange tops is weirdly funny lol, had me giggling the whole video.
Edit: and yes!! More guests on the channel would be amazing.
Thank you!! :) I hope so but I think my channel is too small for him. He only reviews very big channels so he can grow more.
@@ChefJamesMakinson true, but I'm gonna comment every chance i get, i want to see u on his channel :)
Maybe make the Jamie Oliver fried rice recipe for real with 100% effort and try it out ha ha.
@@coldnoodles2951 tag Uncle Roger then! Use his handle
@@ChefJamesMakinson I'm not sure tagging is possible anymore on TH-cam ha ha, but 100% gonna mention u on his comment as a reply!! 👍
@@coldnoodles2951 thank you so much!
Speaking of candy in hearty food: check out Mythical Kitchen, where Josh pulls off such weird combinations for fun (and profit). Snickers deep dish pizza looked phenomenal (while doing double-duty by being an April Fool's parody of Binging with Babish) and his fairly recent Skittles experiment graded by a food critic is also worth a shot.
also is no one gonna talk about the fact that the lady that strained the beef literally learnt it in her nutrition class (thats what it says at the start of the video)
Regarding storing things in the oven (usually spare baking sheets for me) I only learned like 2 years ago that the drawer under the oven was supposed to be for bread, not pan storage 😅
I love sushi myself (not a fan of tuna, but I love salmon sushi and sashimi), and it does seem to be quite popular here in Canada, and I would imagine in the US as well. I feel like I remember sushi restaurants started popping up everywhere, in my city at least, about 10-15 years ago. My city tends to be behind in those aspects though (we only got a pho place maybe 7 years ago for example, and only just got a second one).
Pho hit the US in the 1980's. They were everywhere. Less now, just like Thai the bad ones went away. Sushi has grown at a more healthy pace and may last. Even Costco has a daily supply and it is better than from any grocery.
You and Uncle Roger doing expressions in sync for some ✨tiKtAkS✨ is just funny! 😭😹
Hopefully this happens also in person.
12:30 I had veggie sausage at work bc they served it as a heart healthy option and it was very good. I like it when they add the same spices but make it with beans. I avoid pork so I like pork alternatives and sometimes its easiest to just get vegetarian options. Monologue here lol.
I appreciate Chef James' tips and explanations of the various processes/techniques to help achieve a better end product. Incredibly useful bits of information for those like myself that want to elevate their cooking game and develop better flavor in their meals. Awesome, thank you Chef.
Thank you!
I’m suddenly obsessed with your reviews- love how you stay on trend.
I've had so many people say they don't like sushi because they don't like raw fish. When i made sushi i was able to get people to like sushi with veggi rolls. The look in some of their eyes when i told them i could make them something was great. It's so cool the happiness food can bring to people.
I would say Japanese cuisine in general, including sushi is quite popular where I am from (Singapore), and I understand it is also popular with our neighbours like Malaysia (I have Malaysian colleagues who really like Japanese food). Personally, I prefer sashimi to sushi though (I think it might be because in Singapore, restaurants have the tendency to put too much rice into sushi), and raw fish is actually quite common in East Asian food (some groups of south Chinese often have it during Lunar New Year, for example, and the Teochew and Hainanese (at least in Singapore, not sure about China and other diasporas) have it with rice porridge as part of a meal).
Raw fish slices are good stuff, ye
Where I'm from, it's not extremely popular but there are some Asian restaurants that serve it very authentically and they have pretty consistent crowd that comes to them. Even the grocery store near my house started to make it fresh daily. Not exactly like the restaurants but still fairly good.
Nope, the fish is old and stale, Costco's supplier die no❤tube old fish like groceries. Shops are still better but use o e that does NOTHING BUT SUSHI not just Japanese. Do that and you will like it. Just makes Sue the Wasabi is on the side like Costco does.
Thank you for your wonderful videos.
I'm a vegan who converted long ago because of factory farming and other ethical reasons.
That being said, I used to enjoy the flavor and texture of meat. Looking back, I realize it was because of the fatty texture, salt, seasonings and aromas.
I understand why some people try to recreate those flavors, textures and aromas. It makes it easier to transition and stay on the vegetarian/vegan journey.
Over time, though, one's tastes change.
I've happily adapted to plant based flavors and textures, so each dish stands on its own, without needing to be "meat".
Thanks again for your engaging videos.
Please, everyone, subscribe!
thank you!
Was about to say the same thing, since I've already heard this hundreds of times. Funnily enough, after being vegan for almost sex years now, I can't even stand most meat substitutes because of this almost perfectly replicated taste. On the other hand, discovering different eating cultures and learning more about cooking, herbs, flavours and so on made me realise the sheer abundance of different tastes compared to before I went vegan.
Yeah cause there is no factory farming for veggies…
@@Behindthejab Last time I checked, factory farming referred to animal acrigulture by definition. Or what do you think CAFO means? If you do have some deeper knowledge, please, do enlighten us, since you seem to have so many valid points
@@mariusmeyer3243 it is, but no healthier than monocropping which is how veg is grown which kills everything remotely close to the farm.
If you want ethical sources of meat it’s not hard to find
Sushi is popular in certain parts of Canada, I find in Southern Ontario it is very popular, but the more North you go the less it is. It also depends on how much fishing each province is known for
From Thailand. Love to see your reaction that try to control yourself to not over laughing or disgusting but sometime hard to control. LOL. Also to get learn when you explanation from their mistaken. Very useful and fun together. Congrat to your 70k you deserve it!
Sushi is VERY popular here in Brazil, we have all kinds of places serving it. There's a ton of all-you-can-eat specially.
Ragusea and Vincenzo both have pretty good pizza videos in general. One is obviously geared towards American style home cooks and the other traditional. Could be worth a review.
I'll take a look!
Congrats, Chef! I'm really enjoying your content and looking forward for more ❤️🎉
Thanks so much!
I'm Canadian, and sushi is popular enough to be sold at supermarkets around. At least in Ontario. Even rural markets where I live. That said, people who like sushi generally know better than to buy the stuff at the grocery store. If I want to enjoy my meal I'll drive to the city where a proper sushi place is
When I watched that woman strain the beef and THEN WASH IT WITH WATER, I teared up a little bit. Makes me realize I'm not as bad at cooking as others, which is nice lol...
Spoke too soon, just now got to the nerd pasta. Dear god that's a crime.
That woman only missed one trick. She should have tossed a good 1/2 cup or so of cheap Vodka in with the meat while cooking. That way when she carefully rinsed all of the fat-soluble and water-soluble flavors out of the meat, she could have eliminated the alcohol-soluble components as well.
I have used a colander to hold sautéed items but rinsing after is indeed a bad idea. A non-mesh colander retains just enough fat.
In the US, sushi is fairly popular. As many states and cities here I've been to, sushi is easily found at the store or certain types of eateries(fastfood college cafe's or sushi bar in a Chinese buffet). Most of the time, there's just a straight up sushi restaurant, usually treated as a bit of a fancy occasion for a nice date night.
Uncle Roger is a legend. Uncle Roger helped James get to where he is today. Hehe
sushi is relatively new here too (ca 20years?) and seen as somewhat fancier than chinese food here. a lot of people love it and a lot of people are afraid of the raw fish because we are closer to the mountains than the sea
I believe it is common practice nowadays to freeze fish before shipping.
2:24 Yes. I only used a commercial dishwasher because I was sick during a waitering class, then worked as a glassie in a bar. That said: I still don't use the dishwasher at home. It's full of spare plastic bottles. We do use the oven, though.
"Aerosol can, don't lubricate the pan". The look on his face when realization strikes that he had made a rhyme (was super adorable hehe).
We need to see your take on egg fried rice Chef!
I know it will happen but I need a wok! :)
@@ChefJamesMakinson What was it Uncle Roger said about Jamie Oliver? "Professional chef and can't even afford wok"
@@ChefJamesMakinson Nothing as relaxing as a nice Wok, especially a nice evening Wok in the park.
@@Erndog67he has 25 cookbooks and can't afford one Wok, Haiyaa
Daddy Noel is a South African bodybuilder who does a lot of fitness education, teaching you how to make low calorie meals (why he used spray) or how to do different lifts. This portion would have been small for him since he’s enhanced but for the majority of his follow who are much smaller than him it works as 1 of the 5-6 meals they’re eating a day
Sushi is very popular in the United States, at least in the coastal cities. There is a significant Asian population here which helps. I did have some trouble getting my Midwestern girlfriend to like it though 😅
Pac NW, my neighbors are 1/3 Asian / another 30 percent Indian and then the rest. Get your spices from an Indian Supermarket. Their herbs are not good except ones like dill that they use a lot. Their cilantro is always limp and old.
About rinsing mushroom:
Fun trivia, in my native language (Sweden) the word for Sponge and Mushroom is the same, Svamp!
(On the flipside, the word for Poison and Being Married is also the same, Gift)
I'm in a fairly rural part of Texas, we've got probably 5 sushi restaurants of varying quality between three small cities! Helps we live just a few miles inland on the gulf, and have some of the best seafood fisheries in the world!
The point of draining beef like that is to get some of the fat/grease out of really cheap ground beef. When you're stuck using 70/30 or something to make something that's not supposed to be super heavy.... yeah, A LOT of people will drain cheap ground beef.
Brazilian pizza review! It broke KSON, I think it'll do the same here lmao
😂
I'm not a trained chef although I wanted to take that path after working in many restaurants and really learning a lot through those jobs I've been doing home cooking for a lot of years after having changed career choices (manual labor work can be very taxing) I very much enjoy these videos because I appreciate your forgiveness of things excepting common sense I've also learned a lot Thank you 😊
you're welcome!
“If you’re going to eat something, I don’t see the point of making it taste like something you want to give up.” THANK YOU!! I’ve been saying that for years, and it’s why I avoid “faker” recipes.
A lot of people don't see it that way.
Its pretty simple: You give up on meat, because you want to reduce animal suffering and don't support slaughter or the conditions of factory farming, but you do like the taste of meat. Its a moral decision to give up, not because you don't like the taste! 90% of vegetarians/vegans don't give up on meat/milk products etc because they don't like the taste but for the animal welfare thought! Hope that helped clarifying. 😃
I am not vegan or vegetarian myself, but my girlfriend is. She actually likes meat - but doesn't eat it for moral reasons.
Making something else taste like meat is something that would really help her out.
There are also people who don’t have a choice in not eating it
People can develop allergies in later life so having alternatives without those allergies is quite useful
I was vegetarian for 8 months until two weeks ago (iron got too low, starting again soon) and I absolutely get the point of making something taste like meat if you're vegetarian, especially if you grew up with it. Like someone below said, you can like the taste of meat and not support it. Making something taste like meat can ease cravings and help someone adjust to the lifestyle. It can also help replicate dishes you miss.
Ncie reaction as always :D Love how educational these are.
As for sushi... Five years ago it was just something you bought from random Asian restaurants but nowadays it is so popular in Finland that many stores sell pre-packed sushi and quite many hypermarkets have their own sushi-restaurant as part of the complex.
Love the Tank top Chef!!!
Me too!!
Sushi is ridiculously popular in Singapore (at least in my experience). Trays of ready-made sushi are available in almost all medium-large local supermarkets, and Japanese restaurants are beloved. I wasn’t madly in love with sushi in my teenage years, but have since warmed up to it 😂
Sashimi in Australia has been growing in popularity over the past 10 years or so, most supermarkets sell them and one supermarket chain actually make them fresh in store. I found another store chain is selling Don bowls which is beef or chicken with rice and vegetables ready to eat.
I live in Western Pennsylvania and my family uses the oven as a bread box. When oven is not in use we store the desserts, breads, and other snack stuffs
I use avocado oil in many Asian dishes because it's neutral and has a much higher smoke point than other oils. I do have a gallon jug of peanut oil meant to use for deep frying that might have other uses.
They should call that horrifying pasta in the end as 'creepy pasta' haha, geddit?
James I love how you hold back everything during the off putting jokes.... your respectful even during horrible tiktok videos... Props to you sir...
Thank you
In Sydney Australia Sushi is VERY popular, and has been for decades.
Basically impossible to not bump into take away or restaurant sushi if you are in any built up commercial area.
I could plonk you down next to townhall, point you in any random direction and you would be able to find sushi eventually.
Legitimately 4-5 places that serve sushi within 1 mile of where I live.
The spaghetti with Nerds reminded me of a fast-food "specialty" from the city I live in (Nijmegen, the Netherlands): it's called Discodel and it's a sausage that's normally served with mayo or curry ketchup, but this time with an extra of disco dip. The inventor was NOT sober at the time, but it has made its wey onto the menu of some snackbars
I'm from California and sushi is a staple here. Sushi is like tacos, pizza, burgers, whatever. It's like totally normal food. You can get it at grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, food trucks, etc...
In southern Germany, mushrooms are called "Schwammerl" (=little sponges). That's why we don't use water to wash them, instead, we mostly only use brushes to get rid of the dirt or the older generation puts the mushrooms together with flour in a bowl and Shake it well.
When it comes to sushi, as in sashimi or nigiri and not some fancy designer roll...I LOVE it. Definitely my favorite food. When I have family or friends visit from Europe, a lot of them are like "OMG! How can you eat this?" and then they turn around and ask if there are any Mettbrötchen available, which is raw pork on a Kaiser Roll. Yeah, I take my chances with raw fish vs raw pork any day of the week.
Im from Singapore and just recently started watchinf Chef James reacting with Uncle Roger vids and im addicted...lol....Im from Singapore and sushi is everywhere....
I would love to visit one day! :)
@@ChefJamesMakinson Singapore is a food paradise so im sure you will love all the varities here....Food from all over the world can be found here easily.
6:50 - I live in Poland, and here it's normal to have sushi. The convenience store 1 minute away from my apartment has a couple sushi sets available in the "ready packaged food" section :)
Ok, I don't watch tiktoks, and now I'm happy I didn't jump on that weird train :D
Those types of videos are my favourite.
Uncle roger humour and Chef James knowledge, the real men of culture culinary video.
I'm from the US, and sushi is EVERYWHERE. I live in a town with just over 500k people in it very far from the ocean, and we still have two really good sushi places in town
sushi is common here in Canada. we have all you can eat sushi chains here super delicious bro
In Indonesia sushi is quite popular but a bit expensive because we don't have a stable source of salmon...it doesn't live in tropical areas
I love your channel so much. All the different types of videos, but this one made me laugh the most 😂 love the reaction!
Thank you so much!!
That little rhyme was nice. Put it on some merchandise. More of a conversation starter than live, love and laugh.
I like sushi. - Like almost everyone else I know. In my hometown Vienna (Austria) it is a quite common dish to order in restaurants or as delivery food. Even supermarkets sell fresh sushi as lunch snack.
Where I live in Minnesota there has only been one authentic sushi restaurant and unfortunately it got put out of business from Covid, but we all kinda knew it didnt have much longer anyway since they didnt get much service :(
@Chef James Makinson : You deserve all the subscriptions. I'm gonna need more of your videos on TH-cam.
I will!
Funny you asked about the Sushi thing, Here in the Netherlands it is still very popular. I was in Leon Spain in June, and there is a very good sushi restaurant in the Center, but people from spain are not really digging it, because it does not do Tapas style food. only complete dinner. It seems to be very popular amongst the pilgrim walkers that go up to Santiago. We looked at it for a few days and decided to go there, and I must say it was very, very good. Miu Japones it was called.
We LOVE sushi in Australia. You can get it absolutely everywhere, which is great because it's one of my most favourite foods!
It's pretty popular here in upstate New York. We have a few resturaunts that mainly sell sushi and you can get a wide variety of sushi from any Wegmans around here. The California roll is my personal favorite.
In Toronto Canada, sushi restaurants EVERYWHERE! We are very lucky fresh fish traffic very high 👍😃
Sushi is possibly my favorite food. I'm lucky to live in a techy area of the us, Awe have a huge number of highly skilled people from all over Asia, so we have lots of options for food and people are very sushi aware here (plus there is a rare Japanese market that I can buy fatty tuna from)
10:38
"STOP! In the name of food. You can't win my heart!" (Cooking like this... I'm only semi creative.)
🤣
I live in Atlanta (a large metro area in the southeast US); and can attest that sushi is commonplace, popular, and of wildly varying quality.
10:13 Now your beef is going to have that delicious "chloramine flavor" . The best beef flavor in the world comes from marinating it in pool water.
Adelaide, Australia. Sushi is *incredibly* popular. We have plenty of cafés for Japanese and Korean style sushi, we have hole-in-the-wall stands where you can just buy a roll or two to eat on your way, fried sushi at stands, etc.
finally! a real expert making expert reviews. thanks for your videos 🤗
Glad you like them!
8:45 both of Uncle Roger and Chef James became Dr.Seuss for a second 💀
😂
I live in Southeast Texas, on the Gulf Coast, and sushi was unheard of here 20 years ago. In fact, the only person I knew who had eaten it was my Dad because he traveled extensively. It was something you heard about people in New York eating (for example) but not accessible here. Now, it's very widely available and popular. I love it. 😊
When I started culinary school my mom bought me pans and a cook book as Christmas presents for 3 years and the pans came in sets and i had nowhere to store them so they went in the oven also the "cook books" were the overpriced magazines at grocery store checkouts
