Townsend cooking video 18th century cooking - Stewed Crab - a cooking video that does not end with "Delicious." ruclips.net/video/xfRpxj29RXE/видео.html
Guga is one guy that admits to taste lol
I would definitely eat your servings
Have a tesla, autopilot makes his driving safe.😊
Nick's Egg Fried Rice looks better than some of the others You and Uncle Roger have reviewed. And Nick's is interesting with the rice combo.
You and uncle Roger fit perfectly together, he is the funny one and ur the serious one 🤣
haha
Umm.. do you remember me from last time ?
Chef james is the type of kid in school who brings an entire kitchen for lunch haha
@@ChefJamesMakinson I prefer to think of you as "matter of fact". You have the "toothy" smile at times when appropriate humor occurs.............I thoroughly enjoy your commentary style. don't change!
@@farmalltomf James is honestly my favourite reviewer on all of YT. Unlike other, "reaction," video makers, James is a GOOD guy. He's respectful, and breaks it down for the audience, instead of just cutting people down.
I always love having your more serious counterpart to Uncle Roger's deadpan roasting, but I also really enjoy whenever you end up giggling at his antics, haha! Thanks for another great video, Chef James!
Glad you enjoy it!
Noticed he didn't scrub the new wok, there's normally a coating to prevent corrosion in the shop which you need to remove first. You'd also season your wok in advance and "burn" the oil on to change the colour of the pan.
Must have had that industrial taste. I noticed that to. Not seasoning a wok is just a no no.
Thanks for the info. I had no idea about the coating.
cant we just have a colab already?
James and Uncle Roger commenting on stuff...that would be hilarious!
Also we have to get James his uncle title, since he's been cooking for many many many years. :D
#UNCLEJAMES
We have to spam Uncle Roger's DM on Instagram and RUclips 😂
@@ChefJamesMakinson I'll just spam the hashtag everywhere on his Yotuube Comments ahahhahahahaha
For a regular new wok from a grocery store, one shall wash it with hot water and soap before seasoning because most wok come with industrial wax on the surface to prevent erosion.
In my family (we’re part Indonesian) we do add crispy rice, not all the times but a lot, and a lot of them do try to crisp up the rice a lot on the pan as well. Sometimes we leave some white crispy rice in chunks sometimes not. The reason being that Indonesian fried rice is extremely intense and packed with flavour so it offsets the intensity and makes the following bites more interesting rather than every bite being the same. But it depends! Also depends on the dishes and sambal were using around it. So I don’t have much of a problem with what he did, though I can imagine other cuisines would.
My African dad sometimes does it too, yes a lot of times being lazy but it makes for very interesting contrasting bites.
Uncle Roger's reactions to bad cooking are pretty much like my reactions when I saw some americans trying to cook what they thought was Mexican food 🤣
😂
Some of the worst attempts are chucked chicken breasts...not seasoned...stuffed...in flour tortillas with tomato sauce for " enchalades"... not a Chile to be found....horrifying
You should see the one with Uncle Roger and Joshua Weissman reviewing Big British Bakeoff where they were TRYING to make tacos. Oh boy.
@@RJH_LIL yes I saw that one...horror
@@RJH_LIL As a half mexican living in the southwest. that video made me cry :(. I couldn't even imagine what an abuela would be doing
Steak master GugaFoods ate at Salt Bae's restaurant. He declares it the biggest waste of money a man could spend money on when you could order a wagyu steak delivery instead.
I need to see it!
I have eaten at SatBae’s restaurant back in October 2019. It honestly was a fantastic experience. Sat Bae himself cut our steaks in front of us and it was incredible. At the time it was the best steak I’ve ever had. The service was fantastic and I honestly loved the vibes at the restaurant. However, the bill as expected was expensive. For 2 people it was $300 without any alcohol or tip. The Istanbul steak as it was called was $100 per person. The baklava dessert was amazing but $25 is a little steep. $9 for water is insane. A side of asparagus alone was $15. Before this experience I used to order my steaks well done and I asked for medium well to well done and it came out more medium-medium rare and it switched me over. Now won’t ever order well done again. I’d be open to going again to see if the quality has changed. The fact that he took tips from his staff and the whole World Cup thing made me loose a lot of respect for him.
I'm glad to hear that you had a good experience but it does seem quite expensive
$9 for water? Did it have gold flakes in it?
@@FishOnCrackMC no lol. It was a big bottle of Voss. Total ripoff especially considering this was in New York which has amazing tap water
Nothing better than watching a guy watching a guy watching a guy making fried rice.
😂
Recently binged your content chef James, and I gotta say, one of the most rewarding things is when you chuckle a lot!
thank you!
You are an amazing creator Chef James. I especially love when you react to Uncle Roger because both of your personalities are so contrasting. You are quickly becoming one of my favourite food related RUclips channel.
Thank you for your hard work (and yes, shooting and cooking at the same time is very difficult. Hopefully you will soon develop the cameraman intuition or better, would be able to justify hiring a cameraman)!
Thank you! I hope so too! :)
Love your videos. I was wondering what would a Spanish inspired fried rice taste like and what would the ingredients be?
Great suggestion!
My guess would be adding tomato!
That would probably be quite tasty.
My first thought would be to start with a traditional soffritto as the base, then add Spanish chorizo, tomato, and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and saffron. The rice...I'd want to incorporate something akin to the socarrat from paella, but that might just end up being more paella than fried rice.
@@eng-eq7xy By definition it will still be "fried" though. It doesn't need to be strictly a paella or be exactly the same as Chinese style fried rice
@@Checkmate1138 I think there is something called "western fried rice" (西炒飯) in Hong Kong, which has ketchup and diced tomato. The vegetable part usually just some mixed vegetables, sometimes chopped onion bits too. Then for the protein part you can add ham strips, sliced sausage, prawns or seafood mix.
Chef James Makinson. Now I know why you are so successful. Because not only do you have the talent to be an excellent cook and chef. You also have one of the dreamiest and smoothes voice I've ever heard. Asides from charming your way into the hearts of your viewers. You can charm your way into the hearts of the Olympian Greek gods themselves.
Thank you! :)
We appreciate your effort and hard work, Chef James. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, I will! :)
I can’t begin to tell you how much I was looking forward to your next video. I know you’re probably super busy working but me personally, I would love to see more reaction videos. Your attention to detail is phenomenal. I can’t wait for more of your content thank you for always being kind.
Thank you so much Julio! When I can I will make 2 a week but life is a bit busy.
It's very cool how you interact with both Roger and Nick to make a very useful and fun instructional video. I'm eager to watch more of your stuff in the future. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ChefJamesMakinson Cheers!
I think only Guga and his crew will straight up tell you if something tastes bad
I would also trust Chef Jean-Pierre telling the truth.
Nice video James. You say everyone says the same thing: delicious! So true, but other one exception I know is Food Wishes. Chef John will often say it's the tastiest xyz he's had in a long time, but will also definitely tell you when his recipe hasn't gone to plan or met his expectations. I really value that authenticity, and that he puts out those videos anyhow.
In my mom's recipe, while the fried rice is still cooking and unseasoned, we will simply "do not stir" the rice for a minute or two. This will make the bottom rice have a little bit of crisp. Once you get the rice kind of toastiness for your rice, that's when we start adding the seasoning to the rice.
didn't know nick was half persian
james if you can share some videos on persian cuisine, i would be really happy
there is almost no videos on our cuisine in proper english
It's Lunar new year in my place Vietnam, happy new year! Love your new vids, can't wait for your next upload
Happy new year!! I will post an extra one this week! :)
Here in the Philippines one cup of rice from a takeout/fast food costs as much as a half a kilo of rice(raw) so its kinda expensive for nick to buy and pick up a takeout rice rather than just cooking rice maybe its different in the us idk 😂
really?! 😲
@@ChefJamesMakinson in a fast food/takeout one cup of rice costs around $0.55 or 30 pesos and a kilo of good quality rice in the Philippines costs around a dollar or 50 pesos
I would like to see both James and Uncle Roger watch and rate a video together in person.
that would be fantastic! 😁
@@ChefJamesMakinson One thing I love about you in these videos is that you are trying to hold back extreme laughter by covering your face and mouth. Just let it out man. 😆 🤣 I bet you will if you ever review with Uncle Roger in person.
@@ChefJamesMakinson You both live in Europe, maybe he has a show in Spain and there is some time for a cloab? Would be nice ;)
Such a fun video to watch. Three great fun personalities all in one video
You are so kind!
I never imagined I would enjoy watching a video of someone reacting to another person reacting to another video. But the reasoning you bring to the comedy that Uncle Roger brings is such a great combination.
Wow, thank you
@@ChefJamesMakinson Hope you reach your 500k subscribers so we can see you do your own version of an egg fried rice! More power to your channel.
It is so cool that you loosened up a little bit! I love it.
Professional Nick gesturing at the end! :)
And always nice to see and listen to you.
Thanks! 😃
Been loving your videos man. Great personality and knowledge. Watching so many now. Great job
I appreciate that!
Greetings from a warm Northern Alberta 🇨🇦! Absolutely love the vid!! I like how you always look for a positve reason for um..unique cooking choices. 😊
Thanks so much!!
Love your reaction videos! Keep it up. You are correct about how difficult it is to manage a camera and cooking at the same time.
Thank you so much!!
I tried separatieng egg yolk and white twice now. It does seem to ensure that the egg bits are tiny and spreads in the rice in a very nice way. Not totally convinced yet but definitely worth a try.
I sometimes cook my fried rice like a crispy rice with just salt and garlic on it. I am oriental Asian, i grew up eating fried rice, and there are a lot of ways to cook fried rice that suits your palate. If a Chinese is imposing his own standard, that's up to him. You are free to cook whatever style you want.
Chef James is laughing so much!!!!
#Adorable!!!
James - That was very funny. I can't get too deep into it at the moment, but I appreciated it.
Thank you!
"Ehh, so he's ½ Italian..." lol
Man you are so soothing to listen to when I'm having a bad day
I hope you have a better day!
Entertaining, Educational and Informative as always🧐👍
Well done, Chef James!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely enjoyed this video, Chef James! I am shocked you do not have fire alarms ... although here in over-regulated California we have alarms for everything (fire, CO2 detectors, etc). A fire alarm might not be a bad idea!
Your videos are always so good, but this one was especially funny! Really enjoyed it. 😊😅
Thanks! 😃
Loves your video chef, fun and educative !!
Thanks so much!
When Vincenzo took on Uncle Roger's challenge to make egg fried rice (which Uncle Roger then reacted to, which you might like to watch), he also made a "bastardized" Italian-style egg fried rice, and he did not in fact say both were great, so the RUclips cook not being satisfied with their own food does happen once in a blue moon. 😄
I love how after watching all uncle roger videos, i can still rewatch them with you and have a blast for the second time. Thank you for your videos man.
And yea i think those Teslas are self driving lol
I'm glad to hear that! :)
Uncle James! Always enjoy your videos. You'll always be a uncle in my heart.
I appreciate that!! :)
l suspect that the "crispy rice" is inspired by a Persian rice dish called "Tadig" - which is par-boiled rice; and a small quantity of that rice is mixed with yoghurt and cooked on the bottom of the pan with remaining rice placed on top. The cooked rice is served on a platter with the (now) crispy rice scraped from the base of the pan and broken and scattered on top of the rice platter. Eating Tadiq with Persian food is a memorable experience.
One of my favorite things in rice dishes from the Dominican Republic is the concon, the crispy rice at the bottom of the pan, but it absorbs all the flavors of the dish as it cooks.
awesome video as always. love uncle roger too of course! you should go make videos of you taste testing as well as criticizing the food :D
His fried rice looks a little dry, adding in the crispy rice at the end without adding a bit more soy sauce I think made it that way. Still looks and probably tastes very good though.
I love your reactions, James. 👏
Thank you!
As a fellow Italian I understand him speaking with his hands. If I couldn’t use my hands I would be rendered mute😂
😂
I was gonna say, with a last name like DiGiovanni it would be weird if he DIDN'T gesticulate constantly. After their food, that's like the thing Italians are most famous for lol.
What i do know is that the basic Autopilot is that you still need your hands on the steering wheel but every minute you don't touch the steering wheel it will beep and warn the driver they have to put their hands on the steering wheel
The contrast between you and Uncle Roger's approach to the cooking is hilarious lol
I love Barcelona, especially FC Barcelona, but i also love that regional food, hope to taste your dishes in restaurant soon. Great Channel, very educative.
I hope so too!
Also I will add that you absolutely rock that turtleneck sweater!
Thank you! :)
Looks like he did a good job with the rice, excellent reaction once again Chef!
Yes he did! :)
Another solid video by Chef James commenting on an Uncle Roger video. I wonder if you two will ever collaborate in person. That would an epic pairing.
yes it would! :)
Guga definitely with his experiments have had a few he had to be honest about 😂
We need to see a video of your own version of fried rice chef 😃 it will be great 👍
Modern cars have different levels of autonomous driving. One feature is where your car is able to see the road lanes and it is able to turn the wheels for you. It is not supposed to be used for hand free driving, but allows you to not touch the driving wheel for a few seconds even in a curve.
The whole self driving car for the average citizen is actually a whole controversy in itself. Tesla isn't the only one with self driving vehicles, they're simply the only ones selling them to anyone who has the money to buy one of their cars.
The thing is that even if he does have the self driving feature on, it's still not entirely safe to take his hands off of the steering wheel or his eyes off of the road.
Uncle Roger and Sir James are really good team A Joke and a Education ❤️ perfect
you and uncle roger must be masters at fried rice now. decided to make my own tomorrow but i have no wok or msg. lets hope all that binging on fried rice reaction videos helped
Best of luck!
If you're American, look for something called "Accent Flavor Enhancer". It's in most stores in my area and it's literally just MSG!
I've been to Salt Baes reasturant in Beverly Hills it was super dissappointing, for how much they charge you expect something spectacular but it was just a okay steak. I don't understand how he has over 20 reasturants I can't imagine people going back there once they had it the first time.
This is one thing that I can't understand why would someone want to spend so much money on a stake that you can literally make it home for a fraction of the price instead of going to a three Michelin star restaurant where you cannot easily replicate everything and it will cost a lot less in comparison
@@ChefJamesMakinson Yeah for my birthday went to Benu here in San Francisco, it seems like it would cost more cause its like 400 a person but that includes everything at Salt Baes place drinks and everything added up real quick and it ended up being more and yeah the food wasnt anywhere close in comparisson.
U guys turned this video into safe driving, good manners, no gesticulation lesson lool
Very cool enjoy all your video reaction chef thanks 😎😍
Just to quote this on Ethan Chlebowski and this is also my preference, regarding the no seasoned crispy rice pieces, it is not a bad idea to have heterogenous flavor (and ofc texture), it is similar to garnish with salt flake on protein or even icecream. Instead of a homogenous experience, you can have different bite everytime even with a dish like fried rice. It is only a problem when the main of the dish is unseasoned.
My recipe kinda like Nick, but I put 2 portion of garlic one in start sizzle with oil and more garlic(sometimes grated garlic ) after the egg is done, seasoned with just soy sauce, pepper and MSG .
New subscriber. And one thing. The manny with bunny hat makes me laugh so hard man. 🤣
🤣
One Asian chef I used to watch on television as a kid, and he used peanut oil in a lot of recipes. Of course some people are allergic but if you’re not it’s a nice flavour.
As usual,another great video chef 👍😊
So nice of you!
I made rice in a pot, with my own chicken stock, ginger and garlic for Saturday’s fried rice and Japanese chicken tempura, I even learned how to make a Prik nam pla sauce to dip the chicken in and maybe add to the end of my fried rice?
at 9:24 , funny story: for Xmas this year, I decided to make some Yorkshire Pudding. If you ever made pudding, the temperature is so hot. The fire alarm went off with every batch 🤣
Talk about inception. The first two minutes are James reviewing Uncle Roger reviewing Nick reviewing Uncle Roger reviewing Nick's ramen.
Spanish guy here: there's almost no fire alarms in Spanish flats, unlike in Finland, where I live now, where they are mandatory.
Regarding the Fire/Smoke detector, in Germany for example, every room needs to have one by law, EXCEPT the kitchen and bathroom. Else they would go off in the kitchen all the time.
There are 2 type of Fire Alarms - Smoke and Heat detectors. Usually in a kitchen it’s a Multi Detector. Turns on when the heat in the room reaches a particular temperature or if the smoke reaches a particular threshold. :)
I haven't seen one in years! haha 😂
Cold day old rice is the best one for fried rice. I use lard for frying
I don’t live in Spain, but also in Europe and in an apartment block, and many such blocks have fire alarms inside of the ventilation
In the older buildings in Spain you don't have ventilation like you do in a normal house we have openings inside the building where all the pipes and everything else go down and that allows a bit of airflow in the interior part of the building sometimes you can also see your neighbors haha
I love your videos 🎉🎉🎉i am waiting for the collab of the century uncle roger ,nick digiovanni,and James makinsin, the perfect trio but really i love your videos ❤❤❤❤
I would love that so much!!
3:24 There are some newer cars that has this lane holder assistant stuff that allows you to remove your hand from the wheel for a little while and keep balancing the steering but eventually starts to beep like hell
Very interesting!
In the last 10 years fire alarms have gotten a lot better at differentiating between house on fire and food on fire.
Your story about the chef hazing a new crew member made me think of a restaurant I used to work at, the new guy would go in the walk-in, and the chef would bring a hot saute pan with hot oil in one hand and a fistful of red chili flakes in another. He would throw the chili's in the oil, put it in the walk-in with the new guy and hold the door shut laughing.
🤣🤣🤣 i really have a good time watching this video. Chef James you really complemented Uncle Roger's reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ChefJamesMakinson i really am enjoying it Chef James 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey James, try a Sorted Food video particular their pass it on series!
love your vid sir, you just got a new subs
Welcome aboard!
I really love this trio.😊
I understand the crispy rice. Not always, but sometimes texture trumps over flavor. I love love me some soccarat, Persian rice , crispy rice!
You are a very kind teacher! I would be screaming at some of the knumskulls you review. You're a good and kind dude.
This is what I go through, I have no one else to film for me or teach me editing. I knew how to edit 4 years ago when I started my cooking channel, but got creators fatigue as a simple recipe that takes normally 30 mins take 3 hours, stop film, chop film, stop film, drain water film, stop film…
Then my camera broke so my only uploading has been done on my tiny iPad.
I just recently got a new video camera, now a mic and I’m learning an editing program.
I did put it out to the community for photographer and editor
Also 1 last thing, this fried rice, I am doing something special with the eggs that will take my rice to a new high
Editing can take a lot out of you
the “hit like” train tho 😂😂
😂
the 'like this video' train cracked me up and gotta say it worked on me :)
Good to hear! 🤣
re. Salt Bae : Guga hates Salt Bae , as much as Uncle Roger hates Jamie
XD
I always like how you explain something and you have a pencil in your hand as if you were writing something important, it's just a pity that it can't be seen :)
It's mostly notes and cut times I have to do a lot of editing
I'm driving a Tesla for 5 years now which has autopilot. The thing is it can't handle all traffic situations. But.... if you are driving on a road with good street markings, without junctions comming in the next moment, it will keep in lane without a problem and also brake for other cars in front of you very reliable. I'm so used to it that I do exactly the same like he did in the video. Especially if it is a route you are used to. You know the limits of your autopilot like for example construction zones that will confuse it, which is the moment you just take over. You really have to check where you are at the moment, don't stop looking for where you are going (at least not longer than some seconds) and you are fine.
Thank you for the explanation! I would love to get to drive one!
The triple "hit like" totally killed me 🤣🤣🤣
😂
On the other hand in my dorm room in America there's two fire alarms and a Cardbon Monoxide Alarm in a 10 by 11 ft room
Tesla cars auto drive feature can pretty much drive itself to a destination you choose, but it still has issues and should be monitored at all times, so you can take your hands off but not your eyes incase you have to manually take over. This is the models with the auto drive feature that I’m talking about.
New subscriber from Bali… I like Spanish cooking
welcome!
Here as always, broski! =)
Thank you buddy! I hope you are doing well! :)
Wow chef james. First time noticing you laugh a lot in one of these videos
