    Chef John" you are one COOL DUDE !! I'm 71 yrs. and from a family of "CHEF'S", "COOKS". I love your video's, and most of your recipes. Your "high", "low", and even a little "WIMPY" voice ADDS to your ALLURE.!! Great sense of humor, and delivery.!! Love watching your video's, as a side note, I have been using your "EASIEST PIZZA DOUGH" recipe since first coming across it.!! It really is a NO FAIL RECIPE and more than satisfies my pallet. Keep up the great video's, and VERY well wishes to you and loved ones.

    I used to love jelly sandwiches when I was a kid. One morning my mother was making French toast, and I had her French-toast my jelly sandwich. Delicious. And I also love the heels of the bread - my father and I would argue over who got to eat the heel. But a loaf has two heels...

    For the cuban sandwich, I have found that heating an empty cast iron Dutch oven on the stove, and heating a large cast iron skillet as well. When you place the sandwich in the skillet to grill, placing the Dutch oven on top works to both press and toast the top side.

      I would assume you don't use an enameled dutch oven. I would think a dry heated enameled pan would be terrible for the enamel. I would only try this with an old school lodge type oven, not a le creuset type.
      Perhaps I'm wrong, but I wouldn't risk ruining an expensive Dutch oven, for the cost of a cheap panini press.

    Popeye's is my favorite chicken sandwich. I always thought they added baking soda to the batter. I personally have not liked ANY spicy chicken sandwich I have tried, from any fast food joint. I love spicy, but I find all these places make it so hot your taste buds burn and you can't taste anything else. Also, I find that the spicy chicken seems to come out drier and seems to always be a smaller piece of chicken. Love your show, Chef.

    I'm kind of a Chick-fil-A aficionado. I can tell you right now, you need to press the chicken into the flour mixture. Lean your whole body into it if that's what it takes.
    When you flip it, repeat the process. That's the technique they use to really embed the crust

    • @WastelandRenovations

    Inside out grilled cheese reminds me of one I make. However, I would disagree (which I know I should never do when it comes to Chef John) with only using white bread. I make mine with sourdough (I thought you were from the Frisco area) and then parmesan on the outside. Absolutely the best grilled cheese ever.
