BA, just wanna say, I've been critical of the "takeout vs pro chef" series in the past, since I didn't see the point, but I appreciate the change in format. This new concept is so much better! I like the review of the various takeout spots in the beginning, pointing out what is typical, and what is ideal when it comes to the dish in question. And the rest is completely dedicated to making the best version of it, rather than all the focus on speed. Shoutout to whoever was involved in revamping the series.
That burrito sucked more than the trash you get at chiplote. Meat was too big, flour was wrong size, failed wrapping technique-just like the sad wrapping at chipotle.
@@MrDW72 his wrapping technique was completely correct, he just put way too much filling in the burrito so he couldn't tuck it properly, also he was using a fake mission tortilla which doesn't help, as far as his technique though that was correct; you pull in the sides then pull over the longer side and tuck under tightly
Love Harold! So glad they hired him for this show, he's added much needed flavour and I love how he keeps to his own style and they just let him cuss on video and just bleep them out hahaha
@@joebaer1358 because he likes Harold? I'm honestly wondering. I know about the BA drama, so I'm assuming you're talking about that, but I don't see the connection. Possibly because I'm a bit tipsy, so do forgive me.
@@O2BAmachine I will say two things, 1. if anyone tries to make a burrito with mission “tortillas”, they objectively don’t know what they are doing. 2. It’s disappointing because Rick was such an expert at authentic Mexican cuisine, and BA didn’t pay him, so now they have this clown trying to fill his boots. That is all.
I haven’t been to this channel since before the pandemic started. This episode blew me away. The density of information was overwhelming. It was rich with ideas and inspiration, while using ingredients that are available in a typical grocery store. I’ll be keeping my eye out for Harold now.
@@jkaznosky Because I don't know why you said he sold out. So again I ask, why say that? What makes him a sellout? I wouldn't say that because I'm not aware of him being a sellout. Please enlighten me.
@@HireMichaelEverson I think a lot of people also have a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, so that probably didn't help. Lots of big opinions about cilantro.
You just did SUCH a good description, I was just thinking like, gosh, this guy is charming, but not, like smooth talker charming, I couldn't think of the right words, but loveable/real/down to earth is perfect, just intrinsically likeable.
I think he hit the nail on the head when he audibly exclaimed ‘$14!’ A huge price tag don’t mean the ingredients are better or seeing ingredients that are unobtainable.
Uncle Harold is a G! I'd get down with this burrito, rice or no rice. But come to SoCal, SD specifically. We'll show you how it's done 💪. Mexican food is also very regional. The way we make molé in Baja isn't the same way we make it in Oaxaca. Same goes for burritos.
People get offended when I trash NY Mexican food. That Mission tortilla lost me. He was hitting it point by point until the end. That burrito roll was LAZY.
Unfortunately, I can't find anything bigger than 11" tortillas in any grocery store near me. Harold and BA can probably get commercial/restaurant sized ones (13-14") but I think he wanted to do this will all things we can get in a regular grocery store.
thank you for these types of videos, masters of their cuisine cooking authentic food. i loved the asian dim sum one and i love this mexican one as well
I knew homie was legit as soon as he busted out the OJ marinade. Shout out to him for giving Lowkey Burritos a shout out too! I would have loved to have seen the asada diced prior to being put in the burrito, but as an East LA resident I would still gladly eat that burrito!
I know that the old BA team is going to start leaving and that makes me a little sad, but knowing they are getting good people like him makes me happy.
I support this chef. This chef is the reason why I am posting at all. If this chef had their own channel, I would likely support them there instead of here.. but it is what it is.
I share Harold's pain in not being able to get 'restaurant sized' tortillas at any grocery stores. Grocery store ones are at most 11" - restaurant ones are often 12-14", sometimes even bigger.
@@Jasontheguitarist87 There's no Walmart in my town - closest is about 45 miles away. None of the 5 grocery stores within 20 miles of me have them. There is a tortilleria about 35 miles away - I will try them first. Otherwise I will need to buy a big comal and make them myself.
Si ponen a remojar los frijoles una o dos horas saben más ricos. Cuando los pongan en la instant pot agreguen un poco de aceite y ¡No Pongan Sal antes! Eso los pone duros.
on the west coast, specifically LA and San Diego, we don't wrap our burritos in foil, they usually just come wrapped in like a white deli sandwich wrap.
Burrito Big as a Baby -- two of those honkin' big quesadilla tortillas, overlapped, filled and rolled. My friend, who's 6'3" carried it nestled in his arms, hence the name. No point, just your comment about the first burrito being small made me think of the giant one. ;)
1. Harold is the man and I love all his videos! 2. Mission tortillas are horrifying and don't need to be used ever 3. Dice the whole Serrano Harold! Don't be scared! 4. Do a California burrito next 5. Pinto is the superior bean
@@poopymcpoop9945 well if you make a trip across the border you definitely don't go for a burrito. A whole range of guisados, lengua/tripa/suadero/cabeza tacos, beautiful seafood....man the list goes on.
this is the first i've seen chicken stock broth in mexican rice? Though I assume thats the sub for dry chicken stock/consome and us putting a little water in it. Oooh I'll have to try it this way. I'll make use of the leftover chicken stock I have in the fridge, ty!

Agreed. This was much better than the timed ones.
you mean uncle harold?
@@Alahandrino tito harold the goat
This man just did 5 recipes in a 16 min video. I love it
That burrito sucked more than the trash you get at chiplote. Meat was too big, flour was wrong size, failed wrapping technique-just like the sad wrapping at chipotle.
@@MrDW72 100k+ people disagree with you
@@MrDW72 "flour was wrong size". good troll game.
Married to a Mexican. Every aspect of 1 Mexican recipe involves at least 5 separate recipes lol

Harold is by far my favorite cook on BA. He keeps it real and I love it!

BA failed Harold though giving him those Mission tortillas
I agree!
Mission makes tortillas for people that like lettuce on their tacos.
@@HireMichaelEverson what?!?!? Lmfao I never realized that most authentic tacos don’t have lettuce.
@@crystalkerstal yeah a lot of people thought cilantro was too spicy so they switched it out for lettuce.

Harolds a WIN 🥇 for Bon Appétit for sure
He’s a great teacher and explains well!! Such an awesome addition to this channel! Representation matters!!
this vid is so good! hope Harold is feeling the love he’s great at explaining and his food looks delicious
not gonna lie that looks like the best burrito ive ever seen.
Yeah it's a little absurd
Lo you must be white
Harold is the only reason that I occasionally come back to this channel to see if he has a new video up. Love you Harold, BX all day.
Harold is the best think to happen to the test kitchen
10/10 ; informative and entertaining. Almost feels bad watching it for free - more harold - cheers
Uncle Harold is a G! I'd get down with this burrito, rice or no rice. But come to SoCal, SD specifically. We'll show you how it's done 💪.
Mexican food is also very regional. The way we make molé in Baja isn't the same way we make it in Oaxaca. Same goes for burritos.

Cmon man, you cant allow rice in burritos, thats how the terrorists win.
The colour balance on this episode had me checking other sites to be sure it wasn’t my iPad. But I see Harold in a vid, I click.
Best addition to the BA team. Hoping to see him get a million views soon.
Best addition to the kitchen
My boy herold killing it. He's a great chef
I made just the rice and used the left overs to cook eggs in. The rice with some leftover manchego cheese and eggs was the best breakfast ever!
Harold is the only chef who never misses! Literally everything he makes looks so good???
Real MVP for keeping that hoodie and Apron spotless
I saw the title and said, “Uncle Harold better be in this”.
It's Unkle Harold*
So proud of Harold on the BBQ Brawl. Goes to show he could always cook, and cook well 👍🏾
Blink twice if they ain’t treating you right Harold .
😂😂😂😂
Unkle Harold is becoming my next favourite person i BA.
Bro, everything was a dub here until the Mission tortillas. I'm OFFENDED
"bro" learn to talk !
People get offended when I trash NY Mexican food. That Mission tortilla lost me. He was hitting it point by point until the end.
That burrito roll was LAZY.
It’s probably what was available :/ (however nothing beats handmade right?)
Unfortunately, I can't find anything bigger than 11" tortillas in any grocery store near me. Harold and BA can probably get commercial/restaurant sized ones (13-14") but I think he wanted to do this will all things we can get in a regular grocery store.
thank you for these types of videos, masters of their cuisine cooking authentic food. i loved the asian dim sum one and i love this mexican one as well
Those blue gloves made that watch POP!
Now I'm craving all the carne asade burritos.
Carne Asada Burrito - Flour Tortilla, Carne Asada, Guac, Pico
Come through to San Diego, we'll show you how it's done
you putting pico on your carne asada burrito smh
I knew homie was legit as soon as he busted out the OJ marinade. Shout out to him for giving Lowkey Burritos a shout out too! I would have loved to have seen the asada diced prior to being put in the burrito, but as an East LA resident I would still gladly eat that burrito!
Harold in the BATK: _Return of the Griddle._
Harolds burrito is hitting for about 16 in LA forsure lol
My man needs his own RUclips channel. Killing it!!!
Unvle harold finally shooting in thr test kitchen. Love it.
He is starting to grow on me.
I know that the old BA team is going to start leaving and that makes me a little sad, but knowing they are getting good people like him makes me happy.
Love the sachet idea! Give us more, Harold!
Nice touch making the beans inside a pressure cooker.
I absolutely LOVE Harold! He is so casual but packs in huge amounts of info. Love him.
one of the best I ever had! thanks man
Harold - anytime that I can pick up 2 or 3 ways to boost my game, watching a vid like this, well, you have clearly knocked it out of the park brother.
harold is the best thing to happen to this channel
Just now coming back to BA , this is my first time watching any of his videos and he’s already one of my favorites
We also supplement the tomato, garlic, onion mix with some consomé de pollo for the rice
I support this chef. This chef is the reason why I am posting at all. If this chef had their own channel, I would likely support them there instead of here.. but it is what it is.
Chef Harold is the best. More videos with him pls. Also you better be paying him!
I love watching this man cook.
Harold is by far my favorite new addition
Nice analysis of multiple burritos. And, of course, the final result looks delicious.
This guy is my favorite. Brads been the og but I need to see a cook off to decide who’s my new fave
Tiyo Harold strikes again! ❤😋
take a shot whenever uncle harold says "situation" lol i love you uncle keep doing you!!!
I would’ve watched but I’m leaving due to the tortilla choice. That’s mind blowing.
Harold is in the test kitchen!!!!!!
Yummy! Who's craving for a burrito now?
Not the mission tortillas 😂 but it looks good af
nom central. love them being back in the test kitchen
Save to recreate later! Awesome vid
This is definitely my favorite video you have put out
Went to Lowkey Burrito to get the original Cheese crusted Burrito. I assure you it is worth every penny for that fire burrito
CHEF HAROLD IN THE TEST KITCHEN LETS GOOOOO!!
We need these back!
My dad’s name is Harold. Nice to see it out there. Not one I see very much.
Great job. More of this guy please.
So A.... Thank you for teaching me how to make mexican rice, and b. That burrito looks good af and now imma gonna try and make it. Thank you!!!
Harold is amazing.
Harold is a great addition - certainly one of my favorite BA chefs right now!
I love every video this guy is in!!
LA represent!!!!!! Man I forgot to go to Lowkey when I was three.
Love Harold. This looks amazing
I share Harold's pain in not being able to get 'restaurant sized' tortillas at any grocery stores. Grocery store ones are at most 11" - restaurant ones are often 12-14", sometimes even bigger.
They are everywhere in the southwest.
New york is weird. Lol
The Old El Paso brand makes giant ones. Walmart carries them, other stores probably do too. I think they are about 14 inches.
@@Jasontheguitarist87 There's no Walmart in my town - closest is about 45 miles away. None of the 5 grocery stores within 20 miles of me have them. There is a tortilleria about 35 miles away - I will try them first. Otherwise I will need to buy a big comal and make them myself.
He should have just made them 🤷♂️
LOVE … is the ingredient 🤤💯💯
7:38 😹 man you got me salivating
Si ponen a remojar los frijoles una o dos horas saben más ricos. Cuando los pongan en la instant pot agreguen un poco de aceite y ¡No Pongan Sal antes! Eso los pone duros.
True
Looks good! I think I'll try this but as tacos with beans and rice on the side.
Lots of "love" funny, nice video , thanks
Looks delicious! Harold is my fav!
This guy killed it! The real deal
Wowwww. Everything I've ever wanted. Spicy Mexican cooking. 🥲
So happy to see Harold in the test kitchen at last
Protect Harold at all costs
Love this dude!!! Such an authentic dude and killer fookin chef!!!
New taking on take out with Harold?? Happy birthday to me
He is the greatest
I just seen Harold for the first time and I want to see more.
on the west coast, specifically LA and San Diego, we don't wrap our burritos in foil, they usually just come wrapped in like a white deli sandwich wrap.
Central/NorCal I've only ever seen foil. Foil keeps the heat in, and off your hands.
WE LOVE HAROLD
More of this, please. 👍👍👏👏
