Late night chorizo grilled cheese
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- I made a grilled cheese sandwich. The chorizo I keep in the freezer (along with a stick of pepperoni) so that I can grate it on a box grater and add flavor to fillings for things like grilled cheese, quesadillas, or pizza toppings. It's cooked on a Baking Steel Griddle and the tool is a mortaring trowel from home depot, which is my favorite press (and cheap!)
To answer a few frequently-asked questions:
- I’m using Spanish dry-cured chorizo. It is meant to be eaten raw, like salami. Do not do this with Mexican chorizo or any other chorizo that must be fully cooked before consuming.
- the herb is cilantro.
- the cheese is tillamook sharp cheddar.
- the bread is a sourdough batard from Backhaus in San Mateo, CA (disclosure: I am a board member/silent partner there. I don’t have anything to do with day to day operations.)
- the flat surface is a Baking Steel Griddle, mini size.
- I hold the sandwich down with a mortaring trowel from Home Depot.
- the two hot sauces are Inner Beauty (a mango and mustard-bases Caribbean style hot sauce invented and scribbled on the back of a napkin by Chris Schlesinger at the old East Coast Grill in Cambridge, now owned by a company called Todd’s, and Secret Aardvark, a mustard and habanero-based hot sauce from Portland. Both are great for grilled cheese.)
- this was shot with a GoPro 4 with a head mount. It’s an older camera hence poor stabilization. I use better cameras now.
- I was definitely a little bit buzzed, this was made after what used to be my weekly karaoke night at the Swinging Door in San Mateo.

Holy shit I thought this comment was from two years ago instead of two hours
Oh shit 2 hours ago
youre about to get a whole lot more views
Why not use Mexican or other chorizo for this?
This man was silently making this masterpiece at 2am with a camera taped to his forehead
My favorite part was when feeding the dog
His dogs be like " we've gotchu on surveillance"
Lmfao
No way this happened sober.
I think he was biting it down.
This guy recorded himself making a sandwich with a go pro attached to his head then ate it. Legend
He ate the go pro? Was that a deleted scene?
Not Just any sandwich
@vegeta420z shut upppppppp

Whenever this pops up in the recommendation you just have to watch it, no matter how many times you've seen it.
i agree i seen this so many times
so true, doinf it now, i have watched it multiple times in the past but never got tired of it
getting a life was not an option i guess xD
Someone once asked me what is the best RUclips comment I have ever seen. I told them the top one on this video. It is such a great comment man.

This whole video just feels so strangely comfortable, almost akin to that one cooking scene in howls moving castle. Just kind of nothing else in mind, just moving on with everything, just staying constantly in the now, and feeling what that exact moment presents to you.

GRATED
This is the most replayable video I have ever replayed
This is one of the most genuine food prep videos I have ever seen. The fact he got the beer. The way he tasted the cheese. How he looked for the perfect knife. The hot sandwich. The way he savors the toasted buttery bread. And last but not least, the bite with the crunch.
Thanks so much for explaining that for us, I had absolutely no idea what was happening. I was in sheer bewilderment.
@@joshchapman4753 thank you for explaining that Silenced1010 was explaining that J. Kenji Lopez-alt was being genuine, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. I was in sheer bewilderment.
I love your description of this video.
The way he mixed the cheese and cilantro together, paused to think, then went to go grab the chorizo to also add that was the most relatable thing on this website
the tasteful thickness of it..
It’s tradition to come back to this video once a year and marvel at this masterpiece.
There is no way he gonna just make chorizo grilled cheese late at night
edit: holy shit

Fucking crazy
That's the best edited comment I've seen
*spits cereal*
I ate cheese yesterday at night on purpose.
Eating right off the cutting board is the only way to late night snack. Good stuff!

Crazy how much happened in the world between him making the sandwich and me watching him make the sandwich.
Binging with babish sent me here after he *Continuously* praised your cooking skills.
I like Babish, I've kind of tried to adopt some of his style recently. Its not easy, i think hes done incredibly well. Kenji is my all time favorite though. Just today i recreated and uploaded Kenjis Late night chorizo grilled cheese on my channel.. It was effin delicious
@@Mreffindelicious even Babish's basics are a bit inaccessible to home chefs. I still love him though. Kenji's setup and approach make me feel more informed and confident than a Basics with Babish
@@Rnbowbne yes I couldn’t agree more. I think babish is great and very entertaining but with Kenji I actually feel like I’m learning real handy tips. (Like grating chorizo lol)
@@mfbf6440 he literally gives credit to his sources in his videos

Some inexperienced cooks might think the reason he's opening that beer is he's starting to drink. That's a huge misconception, as this recipe only works when you're already wasted, preferably one beer from collapsing to the ground.
Can confirm, tried this sober and my stove spontaneously disassembled itself.
Ye man I cant find cheese so I used the head of the neighbor's dog

@@codywiebe34 amen
I was here because of recommendations
Once again I have been recommended the late night chorizo grilled cheese video, once again I will watch it.
I can imagine someone breaking in late at night and they just see kenji with a go pro on his head making grilled cheese sandwiches
So nobody is going to talk about his elaborate knife collection ;)
and look how much sauces he've got
You are a saucy boy
He's probably a chef
That man's pantry and fridge is incredible. Hes got a huge kitchen that's stuffed with ingredients. The man only has a wife and two kids, good grief
Johnny Scissors Hes also a professional chef with a restaurant though
I bought this as my first propane grill. It's been a fun, learning experience ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I think it's a bit too pricey after looking at other grills, but it wasn't hard to put together and it works really well. I love the side burner option for heating food during a power outage. I have an electric stove and live in the South (Hurricane season), so this was a bonus. I also bought a cover for it and it has protected it nicely (the Char Broil All-Season Grill Cover 3-4 Burner: Large). Every few grill sessions, I take the rack (or grate) and burner covers off and clean them with a non-abrasive scrubby and mild soap. I wipe the excess off of the bottom as well, taking care to avoid the gas and pilot lines.
I’ve watched this at least five times now. It’s so quick and short and satisfying to watch. I need to actually try this myself one day!
This is the type of video you get in your recommended from time to time and you gladly watch it again.
