      His videos are also recorded and cut that way, so I think the editor that does it also exaggeres on this behavior. I think it's about intentionally trying to emulate "chaos in restaurant kitchen" kind of cooking. After all, Gordon as media person is a character, the man Gordon in reality is, must have some same qualities, but he's not this character as he's on camera.
      It's the same with most celebrities, many develop a character unintentionally. And sometimes it's intentional exaggering behavior to produce something that sells. No human is immune to this, and every individual has multiple roles in their lives, where they behave differently depending on surroundings, social setting, work expectations etc...

    I think Gordon obviously botched his grilled cheese in the video with the high heat and thick ass bread... BUT the idea of cheese and kimchi is something that is quite common in the Korean cooking sphere and is commonly seen in Korean comfort food actually. The spicy, acidic kimchi lends itself quite well to something greasy like cheese. Love the video as always, James. Wishing you all the best.

      We RV and the sheer variety in terms of cheeses stocked at *Walmart* in different areas of the country is fascinating. You'd think they'd all be quite similar, right? But no. Not at all. There was one Walmart we went to where you legitimately couldn't even get a half-decent cheddar. It was American slices or the "cheddar" equivalent or nothing. That was weird.

    • @jishani1
      @jishani1 Месяц назад +3

      @@chrissolace that's not entirely true. Yes, there are lots of varieties of pre-shredded cheeses on the market, they're more expensive than just buying the blocks of cheese and shredding them yourself. Walmart has blocks of cheese, they make their great value branded ones, and then there's generally cabot, sargento and cracker barrel as well in the same section as the shredded cheese. They have more specialty cheeses up by the front in the produce section. Any grocery store with a deli counter is more than willing to cut you a slab of cheese off one of their blocks or sell you an unopened one as well.
      Every step of processing that goes into food increases the cost. Compare chicken breasts and chicken breast tenderloins. Same cut of chicken, one has been cut into strips, almost $1 per pound difference in price. Same with the shredded cheese. It's more expensive to buy the bagged stuff than to buy the blocks.. it's just a lot more convenient and not prohibitively more expensive so people do.

    What I find I like most about Chef James...zero pretentiosness. There was a cooking show around when I was a kid called "The Frugal Gourmet." In this case frugal did not mean inexpensive. His show would go something like this "Go get yourself a nicely dressed and prepared pheasant." Chef James' approach "I'm using a pheasant, but if you can't get that grab a nice size chicken or duck." It's refreshing that I don't feel I have to scour the universe for rare ingredients, like Kraft American singles.

    Highly recommend chopping and pre frying your kimchi before you put it in the grilled cheese. Will intensify the flavor, remove a lot of the water, help the cheese melt. I would also dice up a sweet onion and fry that with it. It will be a completely different sandwich (one you might actually be excited to eat)

    Koreans have a whole thing called 'korean street toast' which is basically elaborate toasted sandwiches that are a hugely popular breakfast - kimchi and cheese is actually common there. I'd use different cheese though. At home a favourite toastie is white bread, mayo on the outside; with either canned tuna or poached chicken, kimchi, sliced red onion and raclette (sometimes I go for sharp provolone instead). It's really delicious, and putting kimchi in the sandwich makes you feel super virtuous. Kimchi is really good when you cook it, I love putting it in an omelette as well

It's got the taste and almost the texture of bacon, but without all the fat (I don't like squidgy fatty bits in my bacon). Then he'd put that in the middle of a grilled cheese sandwich as he was making it. Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, with that salty fried Spam flavor to balance it out.

    I have to say, learning about using mayo instead of butter for grilled cheese was a real game changer for me. I think I saw it on an episode of Good Eats (Thank you, Alton Brown, for getting me into cooking all those years ago!) and have never really looked back.

    On the topic of putting butter on bread: In Swedish, a sandwich is called "smörgås" (butter goose) and of course typically has butter spread on it.
    The "butter goose" was originally a lump of butter that floated to the surface as you churned milk, which was often picked out and eaten as a treat with bread.

    I didnt grow up with cheese toasties, we had cheese on toast, so pretty much open faced. My dad made them. I don't know exactly what he did to them or what was in the cheese mix, but I still have fond memories of that thick piece of white toast with a thick, golden, bubbling layer of cheese. I know that it had finely chopped onion in it too, but no idea on what else was in there, but I know that there was something. It was rich and tasty and I both wanted to eat one after another for the whole day, but also couldn't because it was rich. That it is one of my best memories of my childhood tells you how gorgeous it was.
    I would ask him to make some nowadays, but I can't eat bread, butter, onions or cheese now, so it would mess me up, but it was really good.

    6:38 I think the reason the mayonnaise works is more to do with the egg yolks it contains (as opposed to the oil). The amino acids in the egg react with the sugars in the bread and do a nice little Maillard dance together. The oil obviously helps with heat transfer, and using a tight crumbed bread as suggested makes the surface-area-to-volume ratio quite a bit higher, enabling maximum crisp.

    • @TrappedinSLC
      @TrappedinSLC Месяц назад +2

      It's sort of a 'cheat's' French toast/eggy bread concept. It doesn't soak into the bread fully so you don't get the custardy insides but you get the same sort of crust on the outside.

    • @DiamondCake2

      @@DiamondCake2 Says on the package that it contains 8.9% egg by weight (free range, apparently, although I have my doubts about that particular claim). That's actually a slightly higher egg content than a lot of homemade recipes, which generally use the ratio of one egg yolk per cup of oil.

    I have to admit, Gordon is absolutely on to something, and I tend to do a mix of all of these styles.
    A nice country bread, buttered on the outside, a touch of mayo on the inside, with some shredded cheeses of your choice, with shredded kimchi, cooked in such a way that you do get all that crispy overflow as well, makes for an amazing sandwich. I'll also not infrequently add a little bit of sriracha, sambal, or another hot sauce on the outside as well. Sometimes for flavor, but quite frequently as a marker so I can tell them apart when I'm cooking several with different fillings and such.

Since I started making mine with mayo, I have never gone back to butter. It's less greasy and I enjoy the flavour better. I also use my homemade sourdough bread. As for the cheeses, I use whatever melty ones I have on hand. The smashed one looks delicious; the bread-less one, not so much. And I'm confused as to the purpose of the 'crown' on Jamie's sandwich.
