Huge thanks to Chef Saúl Montiel for joining me for this video! Follow Chef: th-cam.com/users/ChefSaúlMontiel instagram.com/chefsaulmontiel/ instagram.com/cantinarooftop/ www.tiktok.com/@chefsaulmontiel And follow me: instagram.com/emilyslamduncan/
Saul is such a gem, everyone needs more Saul in their lives! I had an idea -- I think doing some kind of "hangout" vid with people like Saul, Gabi, Frank, etc. would be cool to watch, especially since it's Summer now and you could do a bbq and drinks thing. I love seeing this casual side to these chefs we're used to seeing in a formal setting.
Shes evolved to not use ketchup in everything. love it! Saul seems like the uncle that everyone just needs on the grill for any and all family outings lmao.
Haha “sweet and spicy” indeed! I love esquites, especially in the summer. Such a great video and Saul is such a fun guy/cooking grand master! Everyone should go to Cantina Rooftop!!!
He has one! He mostly posts shorts but you can follow his adventures @chefsaúlmontiel on TH-cam, same on insta, and see him at work at @cantinarooftop 🤗
@5:10 Green apple jolly ranchers :) also if you put a bunch in some vodka and let them dissolve, you got green apple jolly rancher vodjuiceka... life changer
Fresh epazote when cooking beans or with nopals really brings that mexican flavor. Dried is no comparison. It grows pretty easily like other herbs, flowers and will seed out but also is perennial. TH-cam recommended Emily so I feel it's important to give a comment and grow her channel. Thanks Saul and Emily. The best from Epicurious.
I Love Elotes, but didn't even know this existed. I'm definitely gonna try making this myself! I also adore both Saul and Emily's personalities. I Just Subscribed on this video alone. Keep up the great work, I look forward to watching more videos like this, and adding to my own at home culinary experiments!
Kewpie mayo also has MSG in it. The American produced stuff doesn't have MSG in it (because we're dumb) so check the label when you buy it. It's cheaper at Asian supermarkets anyways.
It's always tough finding UK equivalents to the US culinary experiences. Only just got Monterey Jack. Will have to go chilli hunting for this, as I doubt Scotch Bonnets will work.
8:53 I think the difference is that in Japan, the chicken egg yolks are a rich, healthy orange, instead of the pale yellow that american eggs have. Japan treats their chickens almost as well as their cows.
that's probably true, and also commercial American mayo like Hellmans uses whole eggs, whites and yolks (usually processed in some way), while Kewpie, at least, only contains yolks (no egg whites)
we used frozen corn (it was a bit early for corn season in NY when we filmed), but you could cut the kernels off cobs of fresh corn and proceed the same way
@@EmilyDuncanI apologize I wasn’t trying to say it wouldn’t everything Saul does looks magnificent and I’m a huge fan and love when you guys cook together. Was just saying that with yellow corn I find it too sweet so maybe if you ever find white you can try it.
Aww thanks!! I didn't think you meant any harm by it, just thought I ought to stick up for Saúl's choices because it tasted good, haha. He might even agree with you! I think the idea was to do it with an ingredient that's readily available (frozen yellow corn) to make the recipe more accessible, but don't get me wrong - I'd love to try it with white corn too!
Great question! Elote just means “corn,” this dish is esquites or elote en vaso (corn in a cup), the Mexican street corn you’d frequently hear called just elote uses the same garnishes but is a grilled corn on the cob 👍
Would love to try this but Mexican ingredients that are not Tex Mex are really hard to find Down Under, even in Sydney! It’s the MSG in Kewpie that makes it so yum! 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🤍🤎
Ah alas!! There are certainly substitutions you could make, but with too many swaps you might land pretty far from the original, haha. Dan and I have been watching an Australian show the last couple months (“Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries”) so we have you and your continent on our minds! 😂🫶💕

Frank coming out the side during the salt talk is about as iconic as this collab 🤣🤣🤣
Hahah thank you!! I am an artist and Premiere Pro is my canvas lol

STAY TUNED!! Not only is that a great idea… we might have already filmed something like that! 🫨
@@EmilyDuncan 👀👀👀
@@EmilyDuncan Great minds think alike!!
Chef Saul and Emily need more of these collabs!!!
You know, I fully agree :D
Shes evolved to not use ketchup in everything. love it! Saul seems like the uncle that everyone just needs on the grill for any and all family outings lmao.
he's truly the best!
Saúl is a treasure. True knowledge and grace. Fun to see with Emily.
Isn’t he just wonderful?
I thought Saul talking about food was the best thing ever, but hearing him talk about his family was even better
Right???
Agreed!
Love this version. It seems every Latin American family has their own recipe, and I am pleased to add this one!
Haha “sweet and spicy” indeed! I love esquites, especially in the summer. Such a great video and Saul is such a fun guy/cooking grand master! Everyone should go to Cantina Rooftop!!!
🫶🫶🫶😘😘😘
Quite the unexpected collab
Trying to keep 'em on their toes haha
I wish Chef Saul would start a youtube channel, I love that guy!!
He has one! He mostly posts shorts but you can follow his adventures @chefsaúlmontiel on TH-cam, same on insta, and see him at work at @cantinarooftop 🤗
@@EmilyDuncan Thank you!!

hahah omg cursed yet intriguing
I'm going to a BBQ tomorrow and was looking for a side dish to bring... I'm totally doing this!!!
Do it!! I can't recommend it enough!
@@EmilyDuncan Will do!
Thank you Chef Saul and Emily for this wonderful dish. Just in time for July 4th
Thanks guys - great collaboration! - Cheers!
Thank you!! 😄
Love this!
So many ways to make great esquites! Chef Saul's way is one of the best! But the spicier the better! (It IS a happy dish!)
My favorite epicurious personalities 🙌

Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe! Love watching you two cook together.
Thanks Frank!! You're the best!
Luv luv luv esquites.
Thank you for this. You are both talented and adorable!
If love these collaborations!
I added an epazote plant to my herb garden this year. I have been using the dried version for years, and am looking forward to trying it fresh.
Exciting!!
Thank you Chefs!
Thank YOU!! 💕
Yay! Always delicioso and heartwarming! :)

Can't wait! Hey from Yarmouth, NS :)
Hey hey hey!

Thank you so much!!! So glad TH-cam led you here 😄
Two experts!
Never heard of this dish before but it looks delicious! Love the tattoo
It’s such a great way to eat corn!
I Love Elotes, but didn't even know this existed. I'm definitely gonna try making this myself! I also adore both Saul and Emily's personalities. I Just Subscribed on this video alone.

SAUL!!! :D We LOVE him!!!
YESSS 🙌
Glad I found your channel! My non-vegan fam will surely love this! Thank you!

Ahh good point! The dried red whole chillies (about 3 cm long) you can get at most Indian groceries should work!
I waaaant this.
Expect the unexpected 😊
Always!
kewpie will never be as delicious as Best Foods - Hellmann's mayo.
8:53 I think the difference is that in Japan, the chicken egg yolks are a rich, healthy orange, instead of the pale yellow that american eggs have. Japan treats their chickens almost as well as their cows.

Another home rum!!!
Wooo!!
Minus the mayo and cheese, I make something almost exactly like this.
The ketchup lady has her own TH-cam channel now?
5:17 Is treated corn used in this dish or just raw corn?
we used frozen corn (it was a bit early for corn season in NY when we filmed), but you could cut the kernels off cobs of fresh corn and proceed the same way

I love Saul with all my heart and soul but I just can’t deal with esquites done with yellow not white corn… they are so sweet!
For what it’s worth, this might not be your style, but it did taste great!

What? No ketchup? I bet Frank grew the corn, barley for the beer and all other ingrediants in his garden.
I could sense good energy between you 😉💞💐☯️🌟
Isn't it elote?

@@EmilyDuncan yeah, where I am at we have vendors we call elotaros. It's really good
No ketchup? 😂😂
Ese NO es el maíz con el que preparamos los esquites en México. Ya de entrada eso no es aceptable.
Would love to try this but Mexican ingredients that are not Tex Mex are really hard to find Down Under, even in Sydney! It’s the MSG in Kewpie that makes it so yum!
