tried them,they all taste like fake sugar,,,,,yuck
You should rename your channel name to nate from the internate
Next time you should use a cheep pan and an expensive pan
When you left TKOR I was so mad. But, I like these videos!😊
It's $10 for BOXES OF CEREAL! Dude I swear TH-cam advertisements are turning into The as seen on TV stuff. You can literally buy keto cereal at the store and it tastes better.
I think heavily seasoned foods like this need the seasonings to be tested too. Cheap vs expensive seasoning on both cheap and expensive meats. Could be the biggest difference
Agreed… cheap meat seasoned well could be better tasting than expensive meat seasoned poorly…
absolutely true. The seasoning should be part of the ingredients and there's a big difference in cheap vs expensive spices in my cooking experience and I'm level 100 cooking.
Especially since super cheap seasonings can sometimes contain things like sawdust :D
I think you need to try out hamburgers. I know many of the components are the same as tacos, but given it's processed or sliced cheese and not shredded, the various condiments as well as a blind taste test of a basic bun vs a brioche bun to see which ingredients really make a difference. I think the beef will matter even more without it swimming in seasoning.
I second this
Third 😀
Fourth
I don't think it's a fair comparison to change the type of bread that is used for the buns
@@mrIsakifymaybe do same type (example: potato roll) but different brands?
How odd that we saw Calli so briefly. I hope she'll feature more substantially in one of your next few videos.
Maybe a whole two seconds next time!
I appreciate he took a moment to make the distinction between the tacos at the beginning because too many people think of this kind of taco when they talk about tacos
I would love to see you do this with more "hard" consumables.... such as paper towels, Paint, car wax... stuff like that... Love how you do the different videos... Enjoy the cooking, but also enjoy seeing the different knives (and goggles) you have made !!
Nate you should do a cheesecake! I really want to see how that compares between cheap and fancy ingredients!
Plus it's a good job for Calli.
^^ agreeeeeeeed
oo yes i 100% agree with this i love cheesecake and i also love tacos lol i do soft shell but i didnt think there would be much difference in the filling im surprised of this out come tbh
I agree
When it comes to dairy, thats where restaurant chefs buy high quality instead of generic. Things like flour, salt and sugar, pantry staples, generic makes no difference
I think that The King Of Random was bought out in a way, and that your channel is a continuation of what Grant had. Grant would be proud of you.💙👑
I agree wholeheartedly and you hit me in the feels.
The bite at the end had me rolling! Should’ve done it on a park bench in a pink hoodie. Lol
I think you made the right choice with the wagyu. The whole point of it is being a different class of beef not just better quality
It’s not like it’s any more a different product than the difference in the tomatoes. Wagyu beef still comes off a cow or steer just like the cheap stuff. It’s not like it’s horse.
Glad to see the sponsorship, happy this channel is going so well 👍
You should try toasting your shells in a toaster oven or oven. It really improves the texture and crunch, unless you burn them then not so much.
If you burn them enough they become super crispy
Happy to see the improved legibility of all the on-screen text! Thanks for taking the suggestion into consideration and making the improvements.
I’d be curious to see a Brand vs Basic for Bolognese Sauce. It’s a lot of meat with veggies and wine so could imagine the meat might have a similar effect as the tacos but am curious what difference the wine makes after it gets cooked down in the sauce?
Came here to suggest the same thing.
Do Americans know what bolognese is though?
When we do our burritos we use 80/20 beef that seems to be perfect
I'd like to see a Brand Vs Basic with baking bread
Not to much difference I use King Arthur brand flour and have used cheap flour. Fresh eggs from my chickens over store ones even real butter over cheap. It taste the same.
@@timeverhartofficial 🤦♂️
I think a twist on this idea would be comparing home made to restaurants dishes. Maybe even copycat recipes of popular dishes.
I was thinking about doing a series like that, but I'm not really interested in becoming a content creator. I just think it would be fun.
ngl, the ending got me, thanks for the laugh Nate, keep up the good work!!
edit: I enjoy the twist you`ve put on this, whereas you can see many other creators comparing cheap products to expensive products, food and otherwise, but I like how you put your own spin on it to compare entire meals, very entertaining to watch
I like to see how as you continue to do more videos on your own, you're learning things and listening to input from your community, and as you go the videos just get better and better quality. I believe you will be very big someday, just keep doing what you're doing and having fun with it, cause that is what really matters.
I've said it before, but I've gotta say it again. I love that you have the professionalism of someone who has worked in the youtube industry for a while but the energy of someone who's getting started. I'm really enjoying this channel!
Shout out to Magic Spoon for sponsoring our man Nate🔥🔥🔥
I love the comments from the editor. Keep it up!
For the next meat based dish to do Brand vs. Basic, how about chili? Or, if you want some non-meat options, how about grilled cheese, hot fudge sundae, or hot chocolate?
Also, I'm curious about the difference the taco seasoning made. You noted when you opened the package that the aroma was noticeably different, and the sauce stuck to the meat better, which likely made a big difference. I might have to experiment!
I love the way you break this down ingredient by ingredient. It makes it a lot easier to see what is actually worth paying more for, and what is just hype.
One thing that could make this more interesting would be to taste test each combination of all the ingredients. This would have made that a bit easier, but the real question is what are the changes that make the dish as a whole better?
Also, we all like ground beef tacos, but do people prefer ground chicken or ground pork? Sometimes you gotta save money or follow a dietary restriction, so what's the best runner up? I know I have my vote
the thought of ground chicken makes me feel ill
@Nate From the Internet
There's a few recipes I'd love to to see compared!
The first would be a stew as I'm curious to see how flavours develop between cheap and expensive when it comes to something that is cooked for a decent amount of time. Something like Coq au vin would be good but feel free to choose any stew that uses any other meat, be that lamb, chicken, turkey, beef, pork, mince... etc. Gulasz/Glouash, Gulas, Beef bourguignon or something like that would be great too!
The other one I would suggest is a Chili con Carne, but do it WITH beans & tomatos (purists will hate us!).
Nothing makes me happier than sassy editor notes. I laugh so damn hard every time.
Using tap water for this videos is a good way to keep it consistent, unless you buy cheap and expensive bottled water. Because tap water flavor changes from area to area
As Integza says 'tomatoes are disgusting.' a quote that Nate and I both agree with.
Honestly, to me the most interesting part of this was that there was no noticeable difference between the cheap veggies and the expensive organic veggies.
I love the editor's commentary throughout the video.
Nate eating a taco backwards is just… perfection, and well worth all the subs.
What a way to celebrate Friday! Guess I'm having tacos for lunch!
I believe the seasonings played a huge factor in this one.
Been loving this series, and I’m sure your friends have too! 😂 Keep it up!
Watching the magic spoon ad read really makes me wonder if made out of rocks because I have no clue what else could be in it
Definitely liking this series of video and I like the editor messages, adds some extra humour spice. It's like funny footnotes in a book.
I think the editor commentary makes it feel like "popup video" from back in the day. I love it
Feels like watching old youtube again, nothing feels super staged, just a plan and some action, the awkward moments are the mucky muscley gristle that holds everything together :)
Try a prepackaged vs. scratch with prices and effort required. As an example, it would be interesting to see the same taco challenge where you are using the prepackaged seasonings vs. seasonings you came up with from scratch with a report on the cost differences and amount of time it took.
You uploaded this on the day I was so sick that I could barely stand up. So that would explain how I am just now finding this. Gotta love em. Tacos, and these cheap vs. expensive videos.
You guys!!!! We’re getting b|a test kitchen level editing snark! We’ve officially leveled up!
😂❤️
Pulled pork, Ragu, Egg Omelet, a Chip-Dip of some kind, Instant Ramen with upgrades, Chicken Wings, ect. It's a fun idea for a show.
I freaking love these videos. You should add a version 2 of every test, trying to mix cheap and expensive to get the best tasting to the most reasonable price
Your editor deserves a raise. I love the hilarious little interjections he adds. XD
Siete makes really delicious high-quality food. They don't use any filler or food-coloring in their products. I highly recommend any of their products.
Also I think it would be cool to see you mod an off the shelf offset smoker grill or build your own horn metal supplies you can source and weld.
I enjoy these comparison videos. I think that you are giving a greater service then you know. I especially like the breakdown at the end. p.s. I like your other videos too.
I would love to see the same video concept but with farmers market vs Whole Foods vs Walmart produce/meat!
Good to see more of these, and I like the editing of the videos. Keep it going.
Burgers, Lasagna, and maybe a “steakhouse” type dinner? (Steak, potatoes, and a veggie?). I think those would all be awesome
These videos are one of the most important part of my day, decided the moment they come out
I like how Nate even used expensive vs cheap slow cooker.
I’ve really enjoyed these videos so far! One thing I’d like to see is a “best” option at the end where you price everything separately with the acceptable cheap ingredients with the necessary expensive ingredients to make the overall best bang for the buck. I’m a budget shopper but add in higher quality items here or there, so seeing your official breakdown on price at the end would be interesting to me. Thanks Nate!
Love the fact you started doing this definitely a cool idea keep up the good work nate
I bet BLT's would be a pretty interesting one. Between the massive variance in bread and bacon, I suspect the difference would be significant.
Huge fan of the series and this video, Nate!!
Just the tillamook cheese will make it better😍 if you ever get a chance definitely go to the tillamook cheese factory and sample all the different curds🥰
Tillamook is amazing. I’ve never gotten a bad product from them. Their cheese is delicious. My local grocery store started carrying their ice cream recently, and it is AMAZING.
@@settheworldonfire94 yummy lol. Have you tried the marion berry ice cream from tillamook? If not, i highly recommend 😇
Had just fixed myself some tacos, sat down and turned on TH-cam and this was the first video that popped up on my feed.
If you want to cut onions without crying, don't cut off the roots. If you're dicing them, cut it in half from top to roots and then do your cross pattern starting at the top of the onion. Gordon Ramsay has a good video demonstrating it.
Nate, I find after cutting the ends off the onion I run it under cold water and it seems to not burn or as bad. Really works for me.
Poo in the freezer for a bit before cutting.
I’d be curious about cheap vs expensive cookware as well. Like knifes, pans, microwaves, etc. doesn’t have to be too crazy or anything
Chicken Parm would be interesting to see as it showcases a poultry as the primary protein, love this series.
Loving this series! Thanks for another episode.🌮
I'm literally eating the best alfredo I've ever had thanks to the episode that was dedicated to alfredo. Now in regards to what should be done next I say ice cream
A basic beef stew
- chuck, potatoes, onions, carrots, canned tomatoes, stock (or water, or go with homemade stock), seasonings
I'd like to see how a brand v basic with Lasagna would turn out
Nate, your editor kills me with the comments. I freaking love it!
love your videos. good luck Nate ..
YAY! 🌮 wagyu beef tacos needs to happen 😂 some video ideas! -
Milkshake or smoothie
Chili
Macncheese
Cheese fries
Nachos!
Just Binged all the episodes of your podcast on Discovery. Good job, both of you.
When doing a meal, if you know which part of the meal is the star of the show, go extra on those items and the other can be basic. Makes a big difference knowing which part is worth it
I'm just gonna say it, I love the editor's n screen text jabs at Nate 😂😂
So happy to see Nate and cali again!!!!!
Tip: Any item that comes in a powder and requires a liquid added with it, mix in the powder (as in add it and mix it in with what's already in the pan) first then the liquid. Mixes better.
Now this is the kind of video id like to be in. You get fed one of my favorite meals and give an opinion.
I’d be interested to see some sort of casserole -
Like a Mexican Chicken Lasagna or a copycat Olive Garden Soup (like pasta e fazole or chicken gnocchi)…although it might just be BECAUSE I am hungry right now…lol!
Or even a baked broccoli (fresh broccoli chopped up, coated in olive oil, tossed with diced garlic, roasted in the oven, sprinkled with lemon juice. Salt and pepper.
Way to goooooooooooo. Nate I love you and your videos. Please don't stop making videos.
I've been watching each of these as soon as they come out. Please keep up the good work Nate, and editor person too.
I do still wonder how much of the weight the taco seasoning was pulling vs the meat itself. Maybe if you do something like this again, after the big reveal you could have 4 preparations of meat for everyone to try separately. A small amount of each meat with each seasoning. That would clear things up even further.
Since I've seen burgers mentioned in the comments already, and I feel like your judges may be able to guess a cheap hot dog on sight, why not think about brats? You could have cheap vs expensive bratwurst (maybe even cooked in cheap and expensive beers), buns, sauerkraut, relish, mustard, etc.
Also I know it's not remotely the right time of year, so maybe keep this idea in your back pocket for 6 months or so, but what about a full Thanksgiving meal? It would be a lot of work to do two of everything, but you would have a lot of options for sides. Just a thought.
Love this series.
You definitely should have done the Wagyu. It is also ground beef, just expensive!
Maybe go for Wagyu burgers vs cheap burgers?
only an idiot would grind waygu
I don't think he wants to spend 150.00-200.00 a pound for Wagyu for a few tacos.
Just buy a pallet of expensive water, to have it for future episodes where you need the expensive water.
Also, please make an episode with taco wrappers and tortilla wrappers, or an episode with each.
we love you nate, never stop uploading
Should do a brand V basic with making ice cream. It is starting to get hot enough to be summer, so it would fit the time of year.
Your videos are awesome keep it up Nate! TKOR is definitely missing you and you definitely know your worth!
at this point nate's editor needs a raise or treating to a dinner or sumn nice cause they have me cracking up !!!!!!!!!!!!!! And i am not even half way thru the video yet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pro tip. If you learn the bougie onion cutting technique and use a really sharp knife, the crying is lessened because it doesn't burst the onion cells as much.
Love this series
I'm in love with your editor.
I really do find these videos of yours interesting. I wonder about the possibility of some revisits in the future to see if you can narrow down which single ingrediaent makes the most difference or possibly couple of ingredients and racos look to be a viable option as you have to build them so could select from each. That's just a tought based on the fact that I tend to spend a little (ot a lot) more on meat and veg tends to be from a farm shop as it's generally fresher for around the same price.
Hi Nate
Was that one of your knives you were using? Just thought it could be a good selling point for you. How would you go with a basic v expensive Charcuterie board? Would love to see this done with cheese toasties/grilled cheese. Home made springrolls, sushi, beef casserole and maybe home made "cowboy" beans. I would get any of your left over taco meat and make a jaffle out of it.
Oh I like that. Charcuterie boards are neat.
Great experiment Nate!!!
i can fully appreciate the dilemma of trying to calculate cost-per-taco
Very cool, keep up the great videos Nate! One suggestion I may add, in future videos you should do some research (or maybe you're already doing research) and mention what you find at the beginning of the video.
Example: "today we're testing if more expensive ingredients make a better taco! Before filming today I found these taco recipes from 'this' creator/this chef, they recommend doing ’thing' to get the best results when making tacos. We're going to follow those steps in the recipes today
4:40 a very good thing... use that "bloody" (it's not blood, just meatjuice stuff that has alot of red blood cells) juice for sauces. it's SO good for sauces and that extra kick flavor imo.
When you're making tacos at home... buy a jar of the hottest salsa you can find. When the beef is about 90% cooked, pour in the salsa. (Plus the seasoning.) You want it to be very hot because the hotness will be diluted by the beef and in the end it won't be spicy/hot, just flavorful. Also adding the salsa adds moisture and you can break the meat up more in it so the texture is improved.
Also have scallion as one of the available toppings.
Also get flour tortillas, and fry them lightly (not to crisp, just to slightly browned) before serving. Use butter or lard. I get burrito tortillas because they're big and when folks come to a taco party they want lots of stuff.
After the party, I throw all leftovers together and I have lunch for days. It's good on top of salad too.
When I saw that code... I couldn't help but think it should have been "Internate" so it's Nate and the internet.
You will now forever be InterNate....
Chili would be great, there are so many different ingredients and different ways of making it. My chili is ground beef, kidney beans(drained), chili beans with the juice, onion, a can of corn, noodles on the side so you can add what you want. For a large gathering I left out the corn, and created a chili bar of different additives.
Using a tortilla and cooking it crispy is an overall better experience then taco shells (lots of butter can make them more crispy)
Egg fried rice using the Uncle Roger recipe.
Pasta again but making your own marinara sauce perhaps using directly fresh ingredients vs using canned ingredients as fresh will likely cost more. You may have the extra work of blanching and peeling tomatoes but it's actually pretty easy. Not a lot of ingredients either so it can help narrow things down. Use vine ripened tomatoes however as normal ones may not be sweet enough for a sauce vs chopped or pureed tomatoes in a can.
Loaded fries. Maybe bacon, cheese, sour cream, jalapenos or something like that.
Ice cream sundaes.
Pancakes.
Homemade bread.
Spaghetti and meatballs. (Good use for marinara sauce)
Meatloaf
Omelettes.
Love the East Bound & Down reference! 😂
"FIXXINNNNNS"
Since you've got the slow cookers, a stew would be interesting. The way everything mixes together would make it even harder to judge the impact of any one ingredient than with the tacos, but you'd be mostly or entirely eliminating dairy at the same time.
Love the editor participation!!!!!!
