BA, just wanna say, I've been critical of the "takeout vs pro chef" series in the past, since I didn't see the point, but I appreciate the change in format. This new concept is so much better! I like the review of the various takeout spots in the beginning, pointing out what is typical, and what is ideal when it comes to the dish in question. And the rest is completely dedicated to making the best version of it, rather than all the focus on speed. Shoutout to whoever was involved in revamping the series.
That burrito sucked more than the trash you get at chiplote. Meat was too big, flour was wrong size, failed wrapping technique-just like the sad wrapping at chipotle.
@@BALLSOHARDU his wrapping technique was completely correct, he just put way too much filling in the burrito so he couldn't tuck it properly, also he was using a fake mission tortilla which doesn't help, as far as his technique though that was correct; you pull in the sides then pull over the longer side and tuck under tightly
Love Harold! So glad they hired him for this show, he's added much needed flavour and I love how he keeps to his own style and they just let him cuss on video and just bleep them out hahaha
@@joebaer1358 because he likes Harold? I'm honestly wondering. I know about the BA drama, so I'm assuming you're talking about that, but I don't see the connection. Possibly because I'm a bit tipsy, so do forgive me.
@@O2BAmachine I will say two things, 1. if anyone tries to make a burrito with mission “tortillas”, they objectively don’t know what they are doing. 2. It’s disappointing because Rick was such an expert at authentic Mexican cuisine, and BA didn’t pay him, so now they have this clown trying to fill his boots. That is all.
I haven’t been to this channel since before the pandemic started. This episode blew me away. The density of information was overwhelming. It was rich with ideas and inspiration, while using ingredients that are available in a typical grocery store. I’ll be keeping my eye out for Harold now.
@@jkaznosky Because I don't know why you said he sold out. So again I ask, why say that? What makes him a sellout? I wouldn't say that because I'm not aware of him being a sellout. Please enlighten me.
@@HireMichaelEverson I think a lot of people also have a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, so that probably didn't help. Lots of big opinions about cilantro.
I think he hit the nail on the head when he audibly exclaimed ‘$14!’ A huge price tag don’t mean the ingredients are better or seeing ingredients that are unobtainable.
You just did SUCH a good description, I was just thinking like, gosh, this guy is charming, but not, like smooth talker charming, I couldn't think of the right words, but loveable/real/down to earth is perfect, just intrinsically likeable.
Uncle Harold is a G! I'd get down with this burrito, rice or no rice. But come to SoCal, SD specifically. We'll show you how it's done 💪. Mexican food is also very regional. The way we make molé in Baja isn't the same way we make it in Oaxaca. Same goes for burritos.
I knew homie was legit as soon as he busted out the OJ marinade. Shout out to him for giving Lowkey Burritos a shout out too! I would have loved to have seen the asada diced prior to being put in the burrito, but as an East LA resident I would still gladly eat that burrito!
thank you for these types of videos, masters of their cuisine cooking authentic food. i loved the asian dim sum one and i love this mexican one as well
I support this chef. This chef is the reason why I am posting at all. If this chef had their own channel, I would likely support them there instead of here.. but it is what it is.
@@poopymcpoop9945 well if you make a trip across the border you definitely don't go for a burrito. A whole range of guisados, lengua/tripa/suadero/cabeza tacos, beautiful seafood....man the list goes on.
I know that the old BA team is going to start leaving and that makes me a little sad, but knowing they are getting good people like him makes me happy.
People get offended when I trash NY Mexican food. That Mission tortilla lost me. He was hitting it point by point until the end. That burrito roll was LAZY.
Unfortunately, I can't find anything bigger than 11" tortillas in any grocery store near me. Harold and BA can probably get commercial/restaurant sized ones (13-14") but I think he wanted to do this will all things we can get in a regular grocery store.
I share Harold's pain in not being able to get 'restaurant sized' tortillas at any grocery stores. Grocery store ones are at most 11" - restaurant ones are often 12-14", sometimes even bigger.
@@Jasontheguitarist87 There's no Walmart in my town - closest is about 45 miles away. None of the 5 grocery stores within 20 miles of me have them. There is a tortilleria about 35 miles away - I will try them first. Otherwise I will need to buy a big comal and make them myself.
1. Harold is the man and I love all his videos! 2. Mission tortillas are horrifying and don't need to be used ever 3. Dice the whole Serrano Harold! Don't be scared! 4. Do a California burrito next 5. Pinto is the superior bean
I completely disagree. This guy is disgraceful, sloppy, and has no personality. They clearly hired him to fill a diversity quota because everyone was angry (unrightfully) at BA, so they clearly said "Ok we need to hire more ethnic and size diversity..." and filled two of those qualities with this host. The videos he's in get very few views as well.
on the west coast, specifically LA and San Diego, we don't wrap our burritos in foil, they usually just come wrapped in like a white deli sandwich wrap.
Si ponen a remojar los frijoles una o dos horas saben más ricos. Cuando los pongan en la instant pot agreguen un poco de aceite y ¡No Pongan Sal antes! Eso los pone duros.

BA failed Harold though giving him those Mission tortillas
I agree!
Mission makes tortillas for people that like lettuce on their tacos.

Harolds a WIN 🥇 for Bon Appétit for sure
He’s a great teacher and explains well!! Such an awesome addition to this channel! Representation matters!!
this vid is so good! hope Harold is feeling the love he’s great at explaining and his food looks delicious
Harold is the only reason that I occasionally come back to this channel to see if he has a new video up. Love you Harold, BX all day.
Harold is the best think to happen to the test kitchen
not gonna lie that looks like the best burrito ive ever seen.
Yeah it's a little absurd
Lo you must be white
10/10 ; informative and entertaining. Almost feels bad watching it for free - more harold - cheers

Cmon man, you cant allow rice in burritos, thats how the terrorists win.
Best addition to the BA team. Hoping to see him get a million views soon.
I saw the title and said, “Uncle Harold better be in this”.
It's Unkle Harold*
The colour balance on this episode had me checking other sites to be sure it wasn’t my iPad. But I see Harold in a vid, I click.
Real MVP for keeping that hoodie and Apron spotless
I made just the rice and used the left overs to cook eggs in. The rice with some leftover manchego cheese and eggs was the best breakfast ever!
Blink twice if they ain’t treating you right Harold .
😂😂😂😂
I knew homie was legit as soon as he busted out the OJ marinade. Shout out to him for giving Lowkey Burritos a shout out too! I would have loved to have seen the asada diced prior to being put in the burrito, but as an East LA resident I would still gladly eat that burrito!
So proud of Harold on the BBQ Brawl. Goes to show he could always cook, and cook well 👍🏾
Harold is the only chef who never misses! Literally everything he makes looks so good???
My boy herold killing it. He's a great chef
Best addition to the kitchen
harold is the best thing to happen to this channel
thank you for these types of videos, masters of their cuisine cooking authentic food. i loved the asian dim sum one and i love this mexican one as well
Harolds burrito is hitting for about 16 in LA forsure lol
Unvle harold finally shooting in thr test kitchen. Love it.
He is starting to grow on me.
Harold - anytime that I can pick up 2 or 3 ways to boost my game, watching a vid like this, well, you have clearly knocked it out of the park brother.
Chef Harold is the best. More videos with him pls. Also you better be paying him!
Those blue gloves made that watch POP!
Now I'm craving all the carne asade burritos.
Tiyo Harold strikes again! ❤😋
Harold is in the test kitchen!!!!!!
Harold in the BATK: _Return of the Griddle._
We also supplement the tomato, garlic, onion mix with some consomé de pollo for the rice
My man needs his own TH-cam channel. Killing it!!!
take a shot whenever uncle harold says "situation" lol i love you uncle keep doing you!!!
Love the sachet idea! Give us more, Harold!
Unkle Harold is becoming my next favourite person i BA.
Harold is by far my favorite new addition
I support this chef. This chef is the reason why I am posting at all. If this chef had their own channel, I would likely support them there instead of here.. but it is what it is.
CHEF HAROLD IN THE TEST KITCHEN LETS GOOOOO!!
I absolutely LOVE Harold! He is so casual but packs in huge amounts of info. Love him.
Wooo!!! Kuya Harold!!! Let's go Filipino!!!
Not the mission tortillas 😂 but it looks good af
This guy is my favorite. Brads been the og but I need to see a cook off to decide who’s my new fave
Nice analysis of multiple burritos. And, of course, the final result looks delicious.
My dad’s name is Harold. Nice to see it out there. Not one I see very much.
LA represent!!!!!! Man I forgot to go to Lowkey when I was three.
Harold schools us. So many tips and goodness tricks. Boiling the marinade for safety. I never knew that.
This guy killed it! The real deal
LOVE … is the ingredient 🤤💯💯
7:38 😹 man you got me salivating
Nice touch making the beans inside a pressure cooker.
Just now coming back to BA , this is my first time watching any of his videos and he’s already one of my favorites
I love every video this guy is in!!
San Diego is where the true carne asada burrito magic is at.
Close to the boarder. It's a trip how uncommon the American burrito is in Mexico.
@@poopymcpoop9945 well if you make a trip across the border you definitely don't go for a burrito. A whole range of guisados, lengua/tripa/suadero/cabeza tacos, beautiful seafood....man the list goes on.
Real ones know! Don’t forget about a California burrito.
who makes the best carne asada in San Diego?
This is definitely my favorite video you have put out
nom central. love them being back in the test kitchen
I would’ve watched but I’m leaving due to the tortilla choice. That’s mind blowing.
I know that the old BA team is going to start leaving and that makes me a little sad, but knowing they are getting good people like him makes me happy.
Protect Harold at all costs
Looks delicious! Harold is my fav!
So happy to see Harold in the test kitchen at last
WE LOVE HAROLD
I love watching this man cook.
one of the best I ever had! thanks man
Bro, everything was a dub here until the Mission tortillas. I'm OFFENDED
"bro" learn to talk !
People get offended when I trash NY Mexican food. That Mission tortilla lost me. He was hitting it point by point until the end.
That burrito roll was LAZY.
It’s probably what was available :/ (however nothing beats handmade right?)
Unfortunately, I can't find anything bigger than 11" tortillas in any grocery store near me. Harold and BA can probably get commercial/restaurant sized ones (13-14") but I think he wanted to do this will all things we can get in a regular grocery store.
Harold is a great addition - certainly one of my favorite BA chefs right now!
We need these back!
Wowwww. Everything I've ever wanted. Spicy Mexican cooking. 🥲
New taking on take out with Harold?? Happy birthday to me
So A.... Thank you for teaching me how to make mexican rice, and b. That burrito looks good af and now imma gonna try and make it. Thank you!!!
Keep them coming love the series
A king! This dude is a STAR. Cherish him
Save to recreate later! Awesome vid
He is the greatest
I share Harold's pain in not being able to get 'restaurant sized' tortillas at any grocery stores. Grocery store ones are at most 11" - restaurant ones are often 12-14", sometimes even bigger.
They are everywhere in the southwest.
New york is weird. Lol
The Old El Paso brand makes giant ones. Walmart carries them, other stores probably do too. I think they are about 14 inches.
@@Jasontheguitarist87 There's no Walmart in my town - closest is about 45 miles away. None of the 5 grocery stores within 20 miles of me have them. There is a tortilleria about 35 miles away - I will try them first. Otherwise I will need to buy a big comal and make them myself.
He should have just made them 🤷♂️
1. Harold is the man and I love all his videos!
2. Mission tortillas are horrifying and don't need to be used ever
3. Dice the whole Serrano Harold! Don't be scared!
4. Do a California burrito next
5. Pinto is the superior bean
Agree with this whole comment 🤣

More of this, please. 👍👍👏👏
My favorite chef!
I just seen Harold for the first time and I want to see more.
Harold cutting these onions made me cry a little bit, it looks so easy to him!
on the west coast, specifically LA and San Diego, we don't wrap our burritos in foil, they usually just come wrapped in like a white deli sandwich wrap.
Central/NorCal I've only ever seen foil. Foil keeps the heat in, and off your hands.
My guy really did put love into this. He grated his own cheese and rolled up with a undersized tortilla
Went to Lowkey Burrito to get the original Cheese crusted Burrito. I assure you it is worth every penny for that fire burrito
If this dude have his own restaurant and he make these burritos like what I'm seeing! I'm going to eat there!
Keep em comin babeee
Lots of "love" funny, nice video , thanks
How long did he pressure cook the black beans in the instant pot? And was it on high or low?
Why are you trying to make this?
@@crystalkerstalwhy would you not
