Can you do muichiro diet please
Do pug diet
we need to get this man his food truck
*insert Black Panther meme* "Get this man his food truck."
Pugs
Noooo a restaurant!
I concur with this motion
While the "character diet" videos are more about exploring characterization, fitness, and meal prep, this (and its predecessor, the video comparing Yukihira and Nikumi's steak don) dives back into the culinary and restaurant expertise, explaining the reasoning behind recipe design. Always love to see the channel doing different things, sharing various aspects of your passions with us.
Glad you enjoyed this! I'm excited to do more of these, is there another comparison you would like to see?
Would still love to see the Autumn election 3-way final comparison someday!@@CHEFPKR
@@CHEFPKR I'm more excited to see what sort of food you might punch up that I'm not aware of. One of my favorite dishes from this channel is the deconstructed poutine.
@@CHEFPKRI’d love to see you do some of the dishes/baked goods from “Sweet Reincarnation”. A lot of them use apples so it’s even perfect timing (with autumn and all).❤
The gotcha pork roast inspired one of my go to cheap meals. I worked in a restaurant that made mashed potatoes daily, and would usually throw a good bit out at the end of the night. I started asking the kitchen to fill a to go container for me. At home, I'd press the potatoes onto a foil lined baking sheet, then cover with diced green peppers and a quarter pound of sliced bacon. Bake it in the oven until the potatoes are fully reheated, the bacon has cooked enough to eat and rendered some fat into the potatoes, and the exposed sections of mashed potato have browned nicely.
This is a great idea!
What's really fun about this challenge is that it's not only "cheap vs expensive", you make the more expensive version under a time limit so it could actually be served in a real restaurant. Just adds more challenge and gives us insight into a restaurant's day to day.
The time limit is interesting! But restaurants would just prep cutting the onions, mushrooms, etc.
The cat at 3:50 eyeing the bacon strips made me laugh
Not gonna lie I appreciate you talking about how Soma's original recipe for the Gotcha Pork Roast would've taken at least a couple of hours to make because I definitely thought that to myself when I first read the manga and it always bothered me.
My thought for trying to make it somewhat feasible for a restaurant to serve would be to do it as you do, but to only parcook it in the oven to the point that the bacon is somewhat cooked and won't completely fall apart when you slice it. Then you can chill it, slice it, and then finish off the slices in a pan when it's ordered. The presentation wouldn't be as good though if you slice it, but also that entire thing for one entree feels like too much food, although a lot of restaurants do have a shareables menu so I suppose you could put it in that section.
For a restaurant I would imagine you could mass prep something like that beforehand, or at minimum have cold mashed potatoes in the fridge ready. Yukihira might also have used a blast chiller, to cool it off faster.
I could see this as a sous vide then deep fried number like a faux porchetta
@@fluffles2415 Kinda doubt they had something like that in their restaurant.
@@MikaeruDaiTenshimaybe they have because of souma's dad
@@nurhadiadiandoyo8366 If I remember, their restaurant was kinda basic and simplistic. They didn't really have fancy equipment.
The timing is insane, was literally just binging your videos before dinner lmao
This just brings back the memories of watching your Food Wars reactions, keep the spirit alive as I hungrily reminisce those vids.
Good lord, Chef knows both Instant Transmission and Boogie Woogie?! This man is too powerful
After watching some episodes of the original Iron Chef. I can't wait for the day we get an actual Food War. It will be glorious.
This looks so good. Definitely going to try it!
Also, when my roommate told me I had a package and I saw your name on it, I almost cried! The cookbook is so good! Thanks for sharing all of your good good recipes with us!
That makes me super happy! Hope you enjoy it!
Having made this a few times, shitake mushrooms work best and i find making a bacon weave it the optimal approach for applying the bacon
I think you would really like this anime it's called "Nichijou" its one of the funniest anime of all time in my opinion but if you just want a glimpse look up principal fighting a deer
I love how Gandalf just sits on the fridge and watches
CHEFPK looks at the problems of an Anime Recipe to make it worthy in a restaurant setting IRL. Now that's dedication after reacting to an food anime.
Gandalf knows you're talking to your invisible people again, so he wants to make sure they know he is the boss of the kitchen.
my heart almost skipped a beat when I saw that metal spoons reaching in the non stick pot. Luckily, this chef is experienced and knows that every time it rains, the chefs in Heaven cry to other people scraping non stick pans. Edit: I thank you so much Chefpk for not scraping that pot, amateurs make that mistake often
Go figure, just yesterday I was thinking "it's been a while since CPK did anything Shokugeki" - The fancy version looked bomb! though the sides would've probably benefitted from having a whole slice covering it, although it would've made it harder for the diner to "Dig In".
Ive been waiting for a vid to compare this exact dish to expensive and cheap XD. Tysm for the vid chef!
Hey Chef, I used to watch your Food Wars reaction videos in one period of my life where I was really down and (clinically) depressed, along with my watchthrough of the anime (real shame they got removed), and it was one of the shining moments of my life then. Just seeing you at Prof's Shuffle Up and Play after years I haven't visit the channel and learning that you're also into MTG really made me feel even more connected to you and realize how much you make me happy. Just seeing you again filled me with joy - on behalf of that very dark time. Thank you for the gifts given. You (and so is any other person) don't realize how much even the smallest and "insignificant" things you do mean to people. So I just wanted to drop by and say thank you.
I appreciate the kind words, thank you!
I love that first episode on Shokugeki-no-Soma destroying that evil woman who ransacked their diner.
*He's going to be Joichiro with that awesome hairband*
You can make the whole thing ahead of time. In a restaurant kitchen you can have two or three of these fully prepped and then cut and serve and piece at a time heating in under ten by baking and then finishing in a pan. The sauce can be also fully prepped and ready to go. I'd pay 15 a for a think slice of the cheap version and you could probably get three servings on each. You could even use a mold to ensure even slices and keep the end pieces as a chefs portion.
I miss the Food Wars vids from back in the day. Your productivity now is so much better lol so revisiting some would be appreciated if you feel up to it. Also I like the idea of trying your hand at "one - upping" the show's recipe.
What I love the most about your channel is that you don't shy away from showing that you're just like us viewers, living that parasocial life with your own favorite TH-camrs 😅
I'm just a dude with a camera and a dream
Gandalf is just the perfect background actor for this video.
Oh heck yeah,I use Sho Chiku Bai for cooking sake too.
…it’s also really good on its own, warmed up…
dude this so cool. I really appreciate how you explain the method to your madness, not enough people do. and your ability to be resourceful is helpful to see. think you could cover your version of the gotcha pork roast if you had cooked the bacon a bit less, then put it in the ring mold before the potatoes so you could wrap it and cover the seams more.
I would love to see a reimagined version of the wyvren stew from campfire cooking. I’m not a huge fan of beef stew myself but I do value it as a winter kind of meal. Want insight of how to
I love the term "french butter" and how it is something more for you bcs 82% "butter fat" is like the minimum amount that something must have to be even called "butter" in my country (czech republic)
We have mixed (about 50-50 "butter fat" + "oil from plants" ) -not butter- stuff that's close to regular butter but it just can't be called butter by the law xD
you revisiting through and refining food wars' recipes would be interesting. you could all this the what if series. the idea is "what if yukihira and co were to remake their early dishes after graduating" or "what if i have to serve this dish in a restaurant". some of the dishes in the arc vs the elite ten could be fun to refine since it was a competition setting vs a restaurant setting
7:01 Gandalf reacted to you saying the word milk, this cat knows what's up.
Gandalf my favorite cat. It's aiming set and when he is not looking GOoooooo
This is funny! I just made Gotcha Pork Roast for dinner! And now you have this video uploaded.
Well... I gotta try this one next
I’m gonna have to try this. Yukihiro no soma was one of my favorite anime’s and I loved watching you react to it years ago.
One thing to remember is that Yukihira was only using ingredients he'd just bought at the supermarket because the thugs destroyed his restaurant's entire stock of food, if he were to put it on the menu, he probably wouldn't have been using such cheap ingredients, it was very much a last minute move of desperation.
Instead of shingling the outer edge of the fancy gotcha pork roast with bacon, what if you had trimmed and cooked off a slice of bacon in the ring mold beforehand? Maybe toss a loose foil ball in to help hold the bacon against eh inner edge of the mold. This way when you added the potato it would already be inside of the bacon, the fat would help it to release easily, and you would only have to top it with the leftover bacon to conceal the potato.
After thinking on it the food wars version might be more of a spin on a German potthucke than just a mashed potato loaf.
Very similar, but the potthucke incorporates egg to bind the potato and is a mix of finely shredded and mashed potato, it usually incorporates bacon or sausage and onion, sometimes mushrooms.
The texture would be more like a meatloaf and might fit the bill of being more of a "Gotcha" roast, especially if the roasts themselves were fully encased in foil so the bacon fat fries the outside of the potato, then air-fried uncovered to crisp and dry up. Using bacon fat or bacon fat and butter in a 50/50 mix along with the egg and potato would certainly help it taste "meatier" as well.
Soma !!! Give me your dish can make me say "YUMMYYYYYYYYY"
I laughed way too much at that One Piece drop.😆
In a kitchen setting you would pre Bake it, so it can start to roast and when its ordered you Just Put it in at 200°C for 15 Minutes
Really depends. You can prebake it but then if you cool it down properly you would still have to bake it to an internal temp of 165F which does take a lot of time.
The best option, imo, is making it much smaller. Maybe half this size.
CHEFPK making that push to 500K subs! Huzzah!
Soma out here thinking outside the box, which is fun to watch.
Gandalf eyeing and following that bacon!
Gandalf is the king of the fridge top.
The way Gandalf was looking at the bacon 😔😔😔 (The cat's name IS Gandalf, right? It's been a long time since i watched ChefPK)
I remember making this when the anime aired. Mine was a bit different from yours, probably because of the difference in potatoes and bacon used and available to me, but I can say, whatever bacon and potatoes and whatever else you use, his dish is still super super good. A tad much work for me personally though.
My mouth was watering this entire video...
Gandalf says "I have the High Ground Chef PK, prepare to feed me"
Followed by "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"
I've taken to doing my bacon in the air fryer, 10 min, 400 degrees, flip once, it's the done-ness we love.
Then I can just pour off the bacon fat to save for other dishes ^_^
I imagine as a "Plat du Jour", it wouldn't matter that it take so long to prepare.
Make smaller (about half the size) ones and put in freezer till cold
Now that is the real definition of fancy. No gold flakes and caviar needed to make it as such.
Have to admit, I hate when it comes down to a SINGLE ingredient inflating the price. Makes me feel cheated.
@@CHEFPKR and it has become a trend on some restos, sadly
Chef please get a scraper to scoop chopped ingredient the knife will dull if you keep using the sharp edge
this video just made me really hungry despite just finishing some teriyaki noodles.
also 1 of the purchases I made in preparation of moving (over a year ago at this point) is I purchased a dual drawer air fryer, because i had friends who swore by air fryers and they used them all the time, it got them to cook more. I have used my own air fryer I think 4 or 5 times in the year and 2 months I've had it, I will say, I regret buying that.
Have to admit...i now love using it for certain things like potatoes. Nice and crispy without much clean up. I use it in addition to making things on the stove while making dinner.
do a berkshire pork belly and turn that into bacon. that could potentially make it increase in price. if the purpose is to make with more expensive ingredients
Okay let's goooo hell yeah fire 🔥 I have been praying 🙏 to God you would on day make this form food wars 🙏 😊😊❤❤
I love your work and you make me want to be a chef
Applewood is overrated. On cheap version onions aren't even slightly cooked before you add the mushrooms. In order to get color and not have water-logged mushrooms and not waste time, waiting to cook down the onions and remove most of the moisture from them before you add the mushrooms makes more sense. On any sauce reducing sauce fully before mounting avoids any issues with breaking the butter.
Gandalf: "It's the Me show now!"
Chef, based on my experience as a professinal chef in germany, butter is around 80% fat, 18% water and 2% protein. Is that diffrent from the US?
Do you save all your meat drippings? We save our bacon fat and chicken schmaltz to use as cooking oil or to sauté vegetables for soups.
This bring back so memories
Great Video. Had to watch the first ten minutes a second time because the first I was paying attention to something else (🐱). *Cough* Gandalf *Cough* 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
Geez oh Lily❤❤❤ those look delish!!
My only question is if you're using the right "bacon" when you do this. Japanese bacon and American is pretty different.
I dunno if you've ever reviewed those animes but try to watch Isekai Izakaya "Nobu" and Isekai Shokudo. Both are very very good food animes.
I have watched it! It's super cute.
@@CHEFPKR IKR. The food in there looks very good, not flashy like Food wars but still worth a shot i guess :P
This looks delicious and I was really excited to see the four fats you said but I only saw two
Butter, cheese, bacon, salami/Copa :)
@@CHEFPKR oh ok the way I thought you said was cream milk and butter as three separate fats my apologies
Gandalf is omnipresent
I always thought the gotcha pork roast would be really good if made into mini appetizer versions. Never got around to it but I think I might soon.
100%! I think it would be great as a finger food
The Penguin Snacks/Emily Bushman channel did this!
Dude I wanna watch this IT LOOKS SO DOPE
$5 roast vs $50 convoluted mashed potatoes. Lol
Hey chef...I know you're busy with your other ideas and stuff but I just finished watching romantic killer and I was thinking that some of the food there will make for an "eating like this for 24 hours" video
I have made this it so yummy.
I would often just make pig and potatoes. It is just mashed potatoes with bacon and ham and on occasion cheese and onions. People loved it, mashed potatoes may be a weird breakfast but... statistically it is way better than a doughnut. You are going to crash way less on carbs and protein than would will on fat and sugar. Stop eating dessert or breakfast America.
how about a hybrid version of the two the mold is nice
people in Hawaii looking at the 8$ milk thinking man that's cheap
I assume this might have been recorded in the past a little bit. I already got my cook book that I ordered that was the combo of the first two.
This was indeed recorded about a month ago
Always fun to watch you son ❤❤😘😘
That is why i don't want a cat cause it will jump on the counter after using its litter box
Exactly disgusting
the coppa is not a salame, it is a meat piece, the salame a grinded meet and fat with spice dried in a bowel
me wondering if it is actual dutch gouda or just the stuff people call gouda in america because it is sort of alike 😮
Gandalf needs a go-pro for another video camera angle 💕
I just had an idea...
the cat on the fridge did it for me
Me too, it made me want to avoid eating his food
Kitten being vewwy naudy
Why the five dollar one look so much better? Jeez, the rich are not gonna like that concept!
This format of hop scotching between the two was kinda confusing
You should see a professional kitchen. It's wild.
@@CHEFPKR I'm sure it is, but I mean like in the context of a video intended for entertainment, it is hard as a viewer to keep track of how much progress each item is on if iy goes back and forth
Beautifully crafted food, cute kitties, gorgeous lady, and (saying this a straight man) a handsome chef.
*blush*
that luffy cameo in food wars
You can't fry foods in a air fryer, you need oil '😭 tell that to my doctor haha 😅'
I do wonder, have tou thought on making the Nato curry from the autum election preliminaries?
please tell me all the golden banon fat went into your fridge to be used to make amazing fried eggs for breakfast
I'm still using it
But Better might be taken, however, But Fancy (or Extra) is still up for grabs!
Ohhh we can go for Fancy... Or something anime?
@@CHEFPKR "Deluxe Anime", "Magnifique Anime Cuisines" and "Fancify my Anime" are like potential titles that I was able to think up.
i miss you reviewing food animes and reacting to them :(!!!!!!!
Unfortunately those won't be back, it's a big copyright issue.
Uncured bacon is called pork belly, chef.
I wamt you to make the dinner from baldur's gate 3 where you intend to make 80 units of food and then auto select 1200 units of food
LOL I've had that happen so many times.
Im just wondering do you chef do bakeries?
I worked in a bakery for about 2 years
new seasons? this man lives in portland? small world
Aw. No Food Wars reaction? 😂😂😂
I've been wanting to make this and I just haven't for some reason. Especially since it's so damned cheap lol
