    I'm actually very happy with the way Matt slowly introduced us to Santi over time, bringing him in for more and more episodes, getting us familiar with him while also guaging our reactions to seeing him on screen and taking more leading roles. It really made this first video feel like just another food theory, nothing too off the mark from a typical video. Hats off to you, Santi! You made a really enjoyable video to watch!

    There's just something fitting about how Santi's first video, while being the host of the channel, is him finding the spiciest chicken sandwich. It seems that torturing yourself is a trait you inherent when becoming the host of one of the theory channels.

      Agreed! Different spices create different experiences, which can make it better or worse. For example, you don’t want nose-running spice like ginger if you’re gonna have a super saucy sandwich, cause you’ll need all the napkins you can for one thing, not both. Meanwhile, if you have a spice that makes your eyes water and cough, along with a lot of sauce, it’s a better experience.

      @NateyCat They are good, but I think what really did it was getting us used to seeing and hearing them long before they were slated to take over as hosts. We already knew and liked them, and so they have escaped a lot of the anti newness bias that can be unfairly levied at someone taking over from a beloved host like Matpat.

    You're doing great, Santi! The only suggestion I would make is to consider having others testing along with you. From an experiment perspective, you'll have more data and be able to include people with different preferences and biases than you. And from a content perspective, the banter between different team members always takes the fun up a notch or two! But this is a great first episode! Way to hit the ground running!

      Tomatoes and pickles are very close in acidity, so that was just him reaching for a reason, and the wateriness obviously wasn't a big enough issue for him as he gave multiple.. quite soggy chickens mid scores.
      The only issue is his bias, which is fine, except that it highlights the other bias problem that's like an elephant in the room... ONLY him himself tasted stuff.

    Food Theory was the first theory channel I saw. It slowly introduced me to the other channels but this always held a special place in my heart. And through many videos, you can see the love and passion Santi has towards food, and he's not afraif of trying new stuff out. I'm so excited for his takeover and wish him the best.

    I love Santi’s energy and jokes, I think they fit the channel very well. The one criticism I have is I wish he included a few more people in the testing to get a range of view points. Defining something as the best is a very opinionated matter and I believe that it’s best to take the average of several views in tests like these. It allows for the transference of ideas and allows a more unbiased ranking over all. No hate on Santi, love the work you’re doing and I’m excited to see you grow with the channel as its new host. Congrats on the position, and we’re excited for the next episode!

    • @stayf0rtea_939
      @stayf0rtea_939 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +35

      It's possible they're still building a team to figure out how things are gonna work in LA. It was easier for Matt to just call people to his house to make food or test soaps since they're all sort of in that location. I'm sure in a few episodes or more we'll start to see more people involved!

    • @grzegorzlewandowski3859
      @grzegorzlewandowski3859 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

      I came to say the same thing. Never noticed how much interaction between MatPat and Steph was heart of the channel before today. Not only one perspective subjectivity of single host for a test like this was pulling it down, but joy of food is such a interpersonal, if not communal thing, that one person trying all those sandwiches felt a little more sad than it should. Not Santi's fault, but episode concepts like this desperately needs at least one co-host. Especially with a spicy food, where suffering together could bring some energy and warmth (pun intended). We saw Santi dealing with how spicy things were maybe once, or twice, for a short moment. My guess mostly because there was no one to bounce against pulling up fun of the situation.

    • @cherriberri8373
      @cherriberri8373 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Exactly what I am saying! The whole tomato thing was maddening, the entire video was almost 1/10th dedicated to talking about how tomatoes don't work FOR SANTI on fried chicken sandwiches, and then passing it off as fact and never bothering to explain. If they don't bring back this key element of the channel it's genuinely not worth it, this video felt like a weird mix between a generic fast food review and a food theory episode that came out poorly.

      @cherriberri8373 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Yeah, but it definitely took more of a backseat. This felt more like a blend between watching a random, generic food reviewer and what is expected from food theory.
      I mean, the dude didn't even bother explaining why tomatoes don't go with fried chicken. It's obvious why, he's wrong, and so he doesn't have an explanation besides "it's my opinion!!1!" but passes it as a fact. Definitely, I'm personally not going to watch Santi food theory if he drops half of the good stuff and introduces bias I don't even think he realizes he has.

    I love how all the new hosts are starting off their debut episodes with "Hey, you may be wondering why MatPat sounds different" as if we didn't all hear about Mat's retirement. But I still appreciate what each of them is bringing so far and I look forward to watching the first Style Theory with Amy when it goes up.
    After watching the whole video, I kind of wish that Arby's buffalo sandwich had been part of the lineup, though that might be brand bias as an employee, and its ingredients are so simple that I don't know how it would hold up. I will say that the simplicity of the Arby's sandwich could've made it unique to what was used here. The spicy sauce is applied directly onto the chicken, it uses ranch instead of mayo, and the only other thing on it is lettuce. I'm not big on spice normally but maybe I'll run my own comparison between that and the Wendy's sandwich.

He actually seems excited to do this and not be forced to do these videos. I really thought I just wouldn't watch the new hosts, but man, Santi is killing it for his first video. Good job Santi!! :)

    Out of the three new hosts so far, I think Santi is the most comfortable with VO. Lee and Tom still seem like they're a little awkward and are still finding their groove, but Santi seems like a natural. Can't wait to see what comes of the new hosts! Good job 👏👏👏

      in tom and lee's defense, santi was on camera, and helping on episodes, a lot earlier then the rest (in the actual episodes). Tom or Lee to my knowledge never really did that. Style Theory is yet to be seen, but I think she will do well enough, as it seems it was always in the works that's she'd take over that channel at some point (she's always been present in the Style Theory episodes)

      @@MiniCerberus991 Tom has been on camera a lot of times too, specifically on gt live, but I'm not talking about them being filmed for the video, I'm specifically talking about the voice over. Talking to the camera for live scenes is a little different than doing voice over, specifically because with live scenes there's usually someone else in the room with you, so it feels more like a conversation with that person as opposed to voice over, which is usually done on their own, and can make it sound like they're reading straight from a script. Not saying that they're not supposed to read from a script, but you have a very distinct voice when you're talking naturally versus reading something. The ability to read and convey the emotion of talking to someone in front of you is a skill that takes time to master, and it's something that MatPat said he spent years learning how to do. Go back to a theory MatPat released years ago and you can see how he's developed his speech style.
      Tldr; the new hosts have to learn how to be able to express emotions while they're speaking in vo because the audience can't see their face, so it's not as easy to pick up on those emotional cues you normally get while someone is talking. I think Santi has done a really good job mastering that so far, and that Tom and Lee still sound a little bit robotic or too much like they're reading from a script. Nothing wrong with that though, just means there's room for them to grow.

    • @MissCaraMint

    Now that I think about it, Santi, you are the perfect person for this channel. Not because of any legitimate reason just because I swear when I was going to South Carolina we stopped that place called Santi’s kitchen. Like that sounds like it would be a local food chain and I’m pretty sure it’s just my imagination but as soon as you start talking about chicken… The thought came to mind and now I can’t get it out of my head. Santi’s kitchen.

  • @nikinator6070
    @nikinator6070 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +56

    Suggestion for a future episode:
    As I understand it, the calories marked on food are based on the heat that can be generated by burning it. But when you digest the food, what comes out the other end can still burn (in varying quantity ofc, depending on the type of food ingested), so it standard reason that you did not in fact consume all of those calories. So I think it would be really interesting to take a look at different foods and how much of those calories you actually digest and if there are some where it’s more and some where it’s less.

    • @wmdkitty
      @wmdkitty 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The spicy oils in peppers don't digest, they pass thru completely unaltered. And they DO, in fact, burn the _entire_ way. 'S why spicy food gives you the runs, your body wants to get rid of it.

    • @pianoman4204
      @pianoman4204 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The heat you feel from spicy foods is just the capsaicin in the pepper triggering your taste buds, making them essentially feel like they're on fire. It's not actual heat in a way that we measure for caloric numbers. Just the illusion of heat, it's a defense mechanism of the peppers like a poison. I forget why, but they also trigger heat receptors on the other end. So you aren't consuming less calories when the food burns on the other end, that's just some of the capsaicin surviving for round 2.

    • @CassiusStelar
      @CassiusStelar 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      It should to a fault, your breath starts at your body temperature and cools as it touches the air in the room around you, leaving most of the cooling effect up to the movement of the air itself and not the temperature.

    • @DreadKyller
      @DreadKyller 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      So it's not that you're imparting a cooler temperature on the food, but the food is hotter than ambient temperature, and thus it tries to heat up the air. However air isn't the most thermally conductive material, so what ends up happening is that the food becomes surrounded with a layer of hot and warm air, and since the transfer of heat is based on the temperature gradient, or the difference in temperature between two points, the food releases heat slower. Blowing on the food pushes that hot later of air surrounding the food away allowing the food to be in contact with more ambient temperature air and repeat the cycle. This is the same reason why wind can feel so much colder even if the air is the same temperature, because the air isn't colder, but your body heats up the air nearby and how fast you cool down slows. That layer of air is referred to as a boundary layer and effectively acts as a form of insulation, and similar to the case of food, it feels colder because the wind pushes that layer of warmer air away.

There's a restaurant at the Morgan St Food Hall in Raleigh called Katsu that does a fried chicken sandwich that they pound the chicken flat for and its really good, and we have a family recipe for a brine that has salt and sugar in it that makes chicken taste amazing. There's another place in Raleigh called Soo Cafe that does a Korean fried chicken that's awesome, too!
