I just found your Channel, watching for the past 2 days I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Thank you for doing this❤ I'm not cooking with Jack but I do just mix stuff together. My little brother is a self-made chef and I pretty much make his brain explodes every time I tell him what I put in something but then he taste it and says it's pretty good which is good coming from him. Hope you have a good day
@@Matthew-LAMF The dude is constantly eating raw chicken that looks like the only cooking it got was being breathed on. I am surprised it was only 4 times.
What I love about Jack is that he has the super equipment. He has a good cutting board, lots of knives of all kinds, from Santoku to Chef's, he uses good raw materials. But somehow, EVEN WITH ALL THAT, his dishes are horrible to look at.
I think his ingredients are gross. everything he makes has canned stuff or processed food as ingredients. like he made a different stew and it had a can of soup as an ingredient?? pls no its bizarre. good cooking starts w good quality fresh ingredients, meat, fish, vegetables, herbs, spices. mixing processed food outve cans and heating it up w a kilo of horrible cheese on top isnt cooking.
I've used a slap chop before. They do actually work. The problem is you already have to partially chop an onion to even fit it into the slap chop in the first place, and they're a bitch to clean, so it's one of those specialty kitchen tools that honestly just make things more complicated in the end. Just learn how to dice an onion. I've worked at restaurants that use special tools for cutting onions, tomatoes, or cutting potatoes for french fries, etc, and those tools are also a giant bitch to clean, but the difference is that it's worth the extra effort to clean when you're making 50 pounds of french fries or slicing 50 pounds of onions. You wouldn't bother with the effort for cooking a meal for one person.
To be fair, I think the Slap Chop is more for people with dexterity issues who maybe can't handle a knife all that well to be able to successfully dice an onion.
@@SeanStrife That's a good point, but it's much better to just get a food processor. A cheap one is the same price or cheaper than a slap chop, easier to clean, and it's more versatile and easier to use. And if you shell out for an expensive one you could do whole vegetables and tons of other stuff. Pie dough, hummus, sauces.
In reference to the moment Jack opened the can of pork and beans, you mentioned how dirty the cans are. Back in the day, I used to live in the Caribbean and in the tropics, two things are true: it is hotter than a mofo and with tropical heat, there are ugly creep crawlies to match. I had to get my house sprayed every six months to make sure I wasn't overrun with cockroaches. My exterminator had a biology degree and when I tell you the look of absolute elation and joy he had on his face when he would talk about how to get rid of termites would border on "mad scientist" levels, it would be selling it short. He once told me, however, that you should always wash soda cans before opening them because rats would get into warehouses and pantries and would urinate on them. Someone he knew got incredibly sick from the subsequent infection after drinking from a dirty can. Didn't need anymore details than that to start washing all my cans and have been doing it ever since.
That's common knowledge where I live - don't trust cans to be clean, that's a good path to the hospital. I wouldn't worry too much if you'll cook the canned food in question, but those beans went straight to the fridge. Jack barely dodged the ER there.
Theoretically, you should be washing ALL of your ingredients before use. Rat droppings are literally an FDA allowed thing up to a certain amount, because it is literally impossible to insure that rats and mice aren't present at all stages of packaging. You think the farms that grow the produce/livestock, the trucks shipping them to the packing plant, AND the plants have zero mice? It's pretty much guaranteed that rodents and bugs have gotten access to ALL of your food at some stage of the pipeline, and it is literally impossible to 100% avoid and be certain of it.

@@joyceneal6169 I think you can get by with relatively amateur knife skills if you have a better sense of flavor profiles and how to cook food to an internal safe temperature. My knife skills basically suck, but I know how to use a good recipe, a thermometer and am willing to wait however long it actually takes for the food to cook properly. I had to stop my mother in law from lifting the lid of my crockpot earlier today because she would have lowered the temperature of my stew and dinner wouldn't have been done in time. She DID wait, and after a few hours, got to see what it was like. Delayed gratification is challenging for some people, especially hungry people. But it's better to be a little hungry than food poisoned and dead 👌😎.
lol, I feel for you. I had totally blocked this from my mind (I had watched Uncle Roger's review) and when I clicked here, ugh, the flashbacks... Thanks for taking a hit for the team. Great video, great reactions.
I'm not usually one who likes reaction to reaction videos, but you actually add so much to the videos in that you say how they could have made the dish work. I am so glad I found your channel!
just love the contrast between uncle's reaction and yours we get the pov from a normal asian guy and then the pov from an asian who is a pro chef and give some explanations, contexts, the ideas and everything in-between, super educational kinda balanced it out, like ying and yang ☯️ love to see more of these videos
Agreed. One of the things I also like about these videos is that we get the perspective from a professional chef who’s worked in both Asian and European style kitchens, so he’s able to add extra info to compare and contrast that from Western cooking.
We have a recipie my grandma started making during the depression...hot dog soup. Hot dogs, potatoes, onions, water and some spices. There.'s a trick to cooking it but it's cheap and actually pretty good if it's made right. Even at today's prices you can make a big pot of it for about 10 bucks. Feed a family of 4 for 2 or three meals.
Someone could make a whole cooking channel dedicated to Jack. Just take all the ingredients he uses in a recipe and make a better dish out of them. With the amount of videos he has you would never run out of content.
AugustTheDuck is nearly there. Dunno how many years of vids Jack has left in him though, he is recovering from yet another stroke and has had Salmonella 4 times.
10:54 in Polish cuisine, they do have something similar, they don't use hotdogs like soft frankfurters, but they do use kielbasa sausage (which is a lot firmer and meaty) in some some soups and it's actually good.
The best meal my grandmother use to make was what she called garbage soup and it used leftovers, (Nothing like this mess) but it always tasted the same. She always added stewed tomatoes, celery and some macaroni noodle to it. I was a fussy eater back then and soups were never something I liked except this soup.
fritzl is a guy who had his family locked in the basement and made more family with his family so to speak. He kept his own daughter locked up there for 20 years.
17:14 That man is Josef Fritzl. He’s known for having built a dungeon “apartment” in his basement in which he kept his teenage daughter. She was held hostage & ultimately wound up giving birth to her father’s child in that basement dungeon. Pretty f-d up stuff…but that's who Uncle Roger was referring to. 🥴
I would love to see you use the same ingredients to make a stew. Like you said there was so much potential. I'd love to see how it comes out when done better.
I heard bean salad and I thought, oh, like my mom used to make with kidney beans, blanched green beans, gabanzo's, cucumbers if she hadn't made cucumbers and onions, and some olive oil, herbs and lemon or maybe a vinegar instead. Nope. This is nightmare fuel bean stuff.
Would love to see a reaction to some of the cooking on Max Miller's Tasting History channel. He attempts recreate historical dishes, sometimes with very bare bones "recipes" using historical sources and art to fill in the gaps. Some standouts I can recall were an ancient Roman recipe for "Parthian chicken," several Victorian era desserts, and many cocktails and drinks as well. Each one is served up with a side of history discussing either the dish itself or the culture that made it.
Yeah half the Coleslaw and Potato Salads at the market use Miracle whip to mark it Vegetarian/Vegan... The other half use bad quality Mayo. Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Cole Slaw, Broccoli Slaw all easy to make fresh exactly the way you like. Have it your way, Spicy and raw like Jack, Or boiled for an hour for Kay's sensitive stomach, in the end you're the only one who has to eat it.
Hi, Chef Brian! Another great video!👍🏻 I would love to see you do a “but better” stew video using the ingredients from this video. I was really intrigued when you mentioned using different types of root vegetables in a stew. I’d love to see your recipe for a stew based on root vegetables (some sort of winter stew?) As always, love and appreciate the work you do.😊
Probably something similar to that dirty lid of can sinking into the pork and beans juice. Probably had rat droppings or cockroaches walking on them in the factory/shelves.
I feel like there could be a whole genre of people reacting to other people's videos reacting to other people watching jack cook and all of them sharing a collective feeling of disgust through time and space.
I've heard of garbage platters served in some places. I don't know what it traditionally is, but from what I saw, the term garbage is in reference to series of food items on a single plate even if they don't exactly go together. The idea can work, just depends on how people handle the idea.
Jack is the only channel I don’t care people coming down on. What he makes is dangerous and may actually land you into the hospital if you follow his directions
I feel like "there was so much opportunity here" sums up a lot of Jack's videos pretty well. In terms of ingredients and flavor combinations, a lot of the recipes he uses seem like they're pretty solid on paper. Not all of them of course (I don't know if anything could save his party cheese salad), but plenty of them. And there have been plenty of times where I've used leftovers that I don't think will last much longer to scrape something together, so I definitely don't fault him for that. It's just his method and lack of anything resembling kitchen safety/hygiene that tends to bring his results down. Seriously, just because you're using the things you want to get rid of before they go bad doesn't mean you have to make the stew equivalent of prison loaf.
I’ve had hotdog soup before, but that was because we were poor and didn’t have a lot of protein to throw in except for hotdogs (we got a ton from food banks)
In regards to the (literal)garbage stew, with those ingredients, I feel like you could make something that's very Brunswick stew-esque. It'd be absolutely delicious, especially with a piece of freshly made cornbread served alongside it. I feel like Jack could be a pretty good cook; it's just a matter of someone getting in the kitchen with him and teaching him some proper techniques.
I can't speak for other regions, but mayonnaise salads are so widespread and popular in Central Europe that we simply call them "salads" (without mentioning mayonnaise). Nowadays, many people try to eat healthier, so they "dilute" the dressing with sour cream or even yoghurt, but still... My English friends once asked me what our traditional Christmas dishes were. When they heard that one of those was "fish with potato salad", they were surprised and impressed, how healthy our cuisine is. Until I explained to them that the fish is deepfried in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs coating and the salad besides boiled potatoes, carrots, peas and pickles contains a megaton of mayonnaise 🤣🤣🤣
Kidnapper stew reference from 17:09 - A very famous kidnapping-incest case from Austria. Josef Fritzl kidnapped his own daughter when she was 18, and held her captive in a custom basement he built. She was basically his sex slave (and she was abused by him for years before this) and then mother to seven(? unsure of total number, as one infant died) of his kids. They were trapped there for a total of 24 years, until in 2008, one of the kids got really sick, so Daughter and her kid were allowed outside to get actual medical attention. She quickly alerted the authorities and Fritzl was arrested, freeing her family and reuniting with her mother. Sorry for the NSFL story, but it was massive news when it broke. (Fritzl's wife was given the excuse by him that their daughter ran off to join a cult, and during that time adopted three of the babies Fritzl had 'brought home'. She never knew they were her own grandchildren until the case broke.)
I've combined two foods... like beans and roast chicken or pork, or even three things, like a Calzone or Meatlover's pizza if I had the right components... Nobody told Jack that one rotten Apple spoils the bunch, better off throwing away some leftovers then mixing them all into an inedible mess and tossing them all out.
Budae Jjigae (korean army stew), got hotdogs, spam, and even instant ramen noodles in it. good stuff, but then again the hotdogs are also much better quality than what he was using lmao.
I love your reaction videos cause you explain a lot of food science and techniques, and at the same time I love when you burst out laughing. And I agree with the hotdog stew thing, I loved it when I was a kid. My mom would make it because ground beef was expensive.
Mayonnaise in salad can be delicious! One of my absolute favorite salads is Piémontaise, which is basically just potatoes, cubed ham, pickles, hard boiled eggs and tomatoes, mixed with a nice homemade mayo. Works well in a tuna salad also, IMO. Would def not put mayo anywhere near canned beans though, that sounds... really fucking nasty.
I'm with Brian on premade combined salads. I will not eat or buy prebought salad, you can't save that garbage. Seriously, how can you trust a potato or macaroni salad where one of the first ingredients listed is SUGAR?!! Love the reaction, Brian.
That's what I was going to say. The store bought versions of macaroni or potato salad are so disgusting because of all the sugar in them. I do actually like both of those, but not with sugar. It makes them so disgusting.
P.S. Open cans correctly and it wont fall in... Supposed to be perpendicular to the can, not parallel... the can opener should be on top, blade in the side under the lip.
I would love a redo attempt to see what you can make. Being able to stretch out scraps on a budget is really helpful and it's good to take a positive 'what can I actually do to make this as good as I can and still use this up' take.
That fitz guy built a dungeon basement and kept his daughter hostage and did horrible things to her, forced her to have his children. Saying even he wouldn't feed someone that garbage stew is HARDCORE 🤣
Yo! Kimchi stew with hot dogs! You rock. I was thinking I was a trash bandit for doing this. First time I had it with hot dogs was from a vendor. RIGHT NOW I have leftovers of this that I made sitting in my fridge! (BTW, I made a double recipe of Maangchi's kimchi and canned it so I can have kimchi jiggae anytime.) I do prefer it with pork belly, though.
chef here and i used to work with breweries doing beer dinners. you do not wanna cook with IPAs: the hop nuances cook out and you're left with only the bitterness of the hop
I would be interested in seeing how you could make those same ingredients into something decent. The technique to turn left overs into something good is something we don't often get to see, despite it being an important skill. Some side by side comparisons of your version and his would be interesting.
You're not being too hard on him. This is a guy that has been making cooking videos for like 10 years and has not learned a single thing about cooking. It's actually kind of amazing. Even the dumbest of people will learn something after that much repetition. I can't imagine where his confidence comes from considering every video comment section is just trashing him. Maybe he doesn't know how to read? Would explain why he can't follow a recipe.
Dude i would like to see u personally react to more jack videos like i know other do too lol the man unlike kay is a bad cooking trying to make peolpe think hes a great cook the exact opposite of her so i think hearing a reall chefs talk on his videos would be amazing. Just in case i gotta recommend his mccormick bag n season vid its legit one of the worst things ive ever seen along with his aunt myrna cheese salad recipe i know for fact u could have a field day with them.
As funny as watching you and Uncle Roger roast this video is, I know there are people who eat some pretty nasty food just because they don’t have a ton of money and don’t know how to combine the ingredients they do have. Would love to see a video about how a chef like you could take these types of ingredients and make something better with them.
My parents and in laws cook stews like that; throw it all in and boil the hell out of it for a while. My mom is slightly better than my mother in law with some soups and stews, but not by much. They all have money BTW. For them it's more like they genuinely believe soup and stew is just cooked that way. I'm not sure if my grandma cooked stew like that? I'd like to think not but idk. Maybe it's because my mom and mother in law did many stews and soups in a crockpot and they were just "dump and go" kinda meals? I love a good crockpot meal, but my soups and stews in the dutch oven are superior because of the methods I use. If you actually brown your aromatics and spices in fat before adding the soup or stew ingredients and boiling and then simmering, it's way better. More hands on though. I think a lot of people just want a shortcut. And I think probably an InstantPot, especially with the saute function, is the only shortcut 🤷♀️.
Yep, I think most know. 3 strokes in fact. He never learns though, and keeps up his unhealthy life style. Wouldn' t be surprised if the 4th wil be the final one...
The one thing I'd say: complaining about this isn't really that entitled imo, if you're blessed enough to have all sorts of ingredients to cook with, do it justice and make something decent, and not this lol. Also please do your own version of the stew, it would be an excellent video :D
Hey… At least she made cupcakes that actually seemed safe for consumption. This guy’s food is ALL dangerous. Actually on the Kay part, I think I figured her out since I know someone who she reminds me of. I think when people give her recipes they have to be as specific as possible down to minuscule details, because I think she takes the recipe as literal when she reads it. The person I know who we do this for is a friend of my mom’s and she honestly tries and it breaks her heart when she messes up. So we take her recipes and write them in FULL detail with every minuscule step broken down. She has made some phenomenal meals since we began doing that. So I think Kay just needs that, because in the cupcake video the recipe was broken down a lot for her.

just love the contrast between uncle's reaction and yours
we get the pov from a normal asian guy
and then the pov from an asian who is a pro chef and give some explanations, contexts, the ideas and everything in-between, super educational
kinda balanced it out, like ying and yang ☯️
love to see more of these videos
Glad you liked it and thanks for leaving a comment! Appreciate you!
Agreed. One of the things I also like about these videos is that we get the perspective from a professional chef who’s worked in both Asian and European style kitchens, so he’s able to add extra info to compare and contrast that from Western cooking.
Uncle R: "Have you ever had hot dog stew?!!?"
Me: "Yes, lots. In Germany hot dogs in a lentil or pea stew are quite common!"
We have a recipie my grandma started making during the depression...hot dog soup. Hot dogs, potatoes, onions, water and some spices. There.'s a trick to cooking it but it's cheap and actually pretty good if it's made right. Even at today's prices you can make a big pot of it for about 10 bucks. Feed a family of 4 for 2 or three meals.
Lentils with onion and sausage as a stew is great. Bacon if you have any leftover, but not worth making at the moment of cooking
That is cool to know my mom from mexico and she make the same thing lentil stew with hotdogs
Oooh yes. Lentil stew with hot dogs is the best!
Someone could make a whole cooking channel dedicated to Jack. Just take all the ingredients he uses in a recipe and make a better dish out of them.
With the amount of videos he has you would never run out of content.
😂
AugustTheDuck is nearly there. Dunno how many years of vids Jack has left in him though, he is recovering from yet another stroke and has had Salmonella 4 times.
@@Telthar i wonder why....
@@alexanderzack3720 it is a mystery 🤔
Epicurious on RUclips kinda does just that. 3 different levels of "chefs".
I actually remember a Japanese channel that took Jamie Oliver’s green curry recipe and salvaged it, so there’s no reason you couldn’t do the same.
Oh cool!
Tomadachi Table
I would watch your version of this dish 100% no cap
🤘
Hotdogs in stews can be really good. Armybase stew(Budae Jjigae) with kimchi, teok(rice cake), ramyun, spam, hotdogs and american cheese is amazing.
100%
I love how even garbage stew video can be used to educate and improve our own cooking. Great tips.
Thanks for tuning in!
10:54 in Polish cuisine, they do have something similar, they don't use hotdogs like soft frankfurters, but they do use kielbasa sausage (which is a lot firmer and meaty) in some some soups and it's actually good.
The best meal my grandmother use to make was what she called garbage soup and it used leftovers, (Nothing like this mess) but it always tasted the same. She always added stewed tomatoes, celery and some macaroni noodle to it. I was a fussy eater back then and soups were never something I liked except this soup.
Moms cooking is always best!
fritzl is a guy who had his family locked in the basement and made more family with his family so to speak. He kept his own daughter locked up there for 20 years.
I don’t think even Fritzl would give that to his daughter
Brian likes making salad -> salad makes Uncle Roger sad -> Brian likes making Uncle Roger sad 💔
😂😂😂
BUT FIRST IT'S TIME TO THANK TODAY'S SPONSOR,
17:14 That man is Josef Fritzl. He’s known for having built a dungeon “apartment” in his basement in which he kept his teenage daughter. She was held hostage & ultimately wound up giving birth to her father’s child in that basement dungeon.
Pretty f-d up stuff…but that's who Uncle Roger was referring to. 🥴
I would love to see you use the same ingredients to make a stew. Like you said there was so much potential. I'd love to see how it comes out when done better.
Video to come!
I heard bean salad and I thought, oh, like my mom used to make with kidney beans, blanched green beans, gabanzo's, cucumbers if she hadn't made cucumbers and onions, and some olive oil, herbs and lemon or maybe a vinegar instead. Nope. This is nightmare fuel bean stuff.
Would love to see a reaction to some of the cooking on Max Miller's Tasting History channel. He attempts recreate historical dishes, sometimes with very bare bones "recipes" using historical sources and art to fill in the gaps. Some standouts I can recall were an ancient Roman recipe for "Parthian chicken," several Victorian era desserts, and many cocktails and drinks as well. Each one is served up with a side of history discussing either the dish itself or the culture that made it.
Very cool! I’ve added one of his episodes to my list to check out!
The "Fritzl soup" joke is one of uncel rogers darkest ones. Big ouf from germany.
Yeah half the Coleslaw and Potato Salads at the market use Miracle whip to mark it Vegetarian/Vegan... The other half use bad quality Mayo.
Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Cole Slaw, Broccoli Slaw all easy to make fresh exactly the way you like.
Have it your way, Spicy and raw like Jack, Or boiled for an hour for Kay's sensitive stomach, in the end you're the only one who has to eat it.
The 4 HOURS LATER with that boom sound reminded me of the movie The Shining.....lmfao
😂
Kimchi stew with hot dogs and spam actually sounds pretty good to me. Especially if you crisp that spam up
Hi, Chef Brian! Another great video!👍🏻
I would love to see you do a “but better” stew video using the ingredients from this video. I was really intrigued when you mentioned using different types of root vegetables in a stew. I’d love to see your recipe for a stew based on root vegetables (some sort of winter stew?)
As always, love and appreciate the work you do.😊
Video to come!
So let me get this straight... I'm watching someone, who's watching someone, who's watching someone. What have we become?
Probably something similar to that dirty lid of can sinking into the pork and beans juice. Probably had rat droppings or cockroaches walking on them in the factory/shelves.
Fun
man this donut can even mess up trash can soup because he done it all wrong
I feel like there could be a whole genre of people reacting to other people's videos reacting to other people watching jack cook and all of them sharing a collective feeling of disgust through time and space.
I've heard of garbage platters served in some places. I don't know what it traditionally is, but from what I saw, the term garbage is in reference to series of food items on a single plate even if they don't exactly go together. The idea can work, just depends on how people handle the idea.
Def
Jack is the only channel I don’t care people coming down on. What he makes is dangerous and may actually land you into the hospital if you follow his directions
I feel like "there was so much opportunity here" sums up a lot of Jack's videos pretty well. In terms of ingredients and flavor combinations, a lot of the recipes he uses seem like they're pretty solid on paper. Not all of them of course (I don't know if anything could save his party cheese salad), but plenty of them. And there have been plenty of times where I've used leftovers that I don't think will last much longer to scrape something together, so I definitely don't fault him for that. It's just his method and lack of anything resembling kitchen safety/hygiene that tends to bring his results down.
Seriously, just because you're using the things you want to get rid of before they go bad doesn't mean you have to make the stew equivalent of prison loaf.
I’ve had hotdog soup before, but that was because we were poor and didn’t have a lot of protein to throw in except for hotdogs (we got a ton from food banks)
In regards to the (literal)garbage stew, with those ingredients, I feel like you could make something that's very Brunswick stew-esque. It'd be absolutely delicious, especially with a piece of freshly made cornbread served alongside it.
I feel like Jack could be a pretty good cook; it's just a matter of someone getting in the kitchen with him and teaching him some proper techniques.
I can't speak for other regions, but mayonnaise salads are so widespread and popular in Central Europe that we simply call them "salads" (without mentioning mayonnaise). Nowadays, many people try to eat healthier, so they "dilute" the dressing with sour cream or even yoghurt, but still... My English friends once asked me what our traditional Christmas dishes were. When they heard that one of those was "fish with potato salad", they were surprised and impressed, how healthy our cuisine is. Until I explained to them that the fish is deepfried in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs coating and the salad besides boiled potatoes, carrots, peas and pickles contains a megaton of mayonnaise 🤣🤣🤣
budae jjigae (army base stew) is the ultimate "what the hell is in my pantry" stew... hot dogs, spam, canned beans, ramen *chef's kiss* amazing
Couldn’t agree more!
While technically correct, I have zero idea why chefs use words like carcass in a cooking process and video. Very appetizing
Cannot imagine why he had a stroke 8 months ago
"The only thing you should pull out is your dad from your mom." Damn. Jack got roasted more than he ever roasts his chicken.
Kidnapper stew reference from 17:09 - A very famous kidnapping-incest case from Austria. Josef Fritzl kidnapped his own daughter when she was 18, and held her captive in a custom basement he built. She was basically his sex slave (and she was abused by him for years before this) and then mother to seven(? unsure of total number, as one infant died) of his kids. They were trapped there for a total of 24 years, until in 2008, one of the kids got really sick, so Daughter and her kid were allowed outside to get actual medical attention. She quickly alerted the authorities and Fritzl was arrested, freeing her family and reuniting with her mother. Sorry for the NSFL story, but it was massive news when it broke.
(Fritzl's wife was given the excuse by him that their daughter ran off to join a cult, and during that time adopted three of the babies Fritzl had 'brought home'. She never knew they were her own grandchildren until the case broke.)
😨
@@ChefBrianTsao Sorry again. ;_;
At least people can joke about it? :"D
I've combined two foods... like beans and roast chicken or pork, or even three things, like a Calzone or Meatlover's pizza if I had the right components...
Nobody told Jack that one rotten Apple spoils the bunch, better off throwing away some leftovers then mixing them all into an inedible mess and tossing them all out.
Haiyaaa, you talked over the "Sorry Children" part!
I love how you were trying to be positive, and find something good to say, only for you to realize there was nothing redeeming about the video 😂
😂
17:15 dont google it, youll be happier not knowing
“Whos your family?! A pack of stray dogs?!” 😂
😂
This dude has had like four heart attacks or strokes
Budae Jjigae (korean army stew), got hotdogs, spam, and even instant ramen noodles in it. good stuff, but then again the hotdogs are also much better quality than what he was using lmao.
🤤buddae jigae all day!
That look Roger gives the camera as he starts the next video is one of pure, genuine concern
Jack and Kay are treasures to behold .
Chef Brian needs to come through with that legit Garbage Stew video
I love your reaction videos cause you explain a lot of food science and techniques, and at the same time I love when you burst out laughing. And I agree with the hotdog stew thing, I loved it when I was a kid. My mom would make it because ground beef was expensive.
Thanks for tuning in!
Chef Brian... What I saw was not garbage stew... It was just pure garbage, maybe boiled but just pure garbage!
Mayonnaise in salad can be delicious! One of my absolute favorite salads is Piémontaise, which is basically just potatoes, cubed ham, pickles, hard boiled eggs and tomatoes, mixed with a nice homemade mayo. Works well in a tuna salad also, IMO.
Would def not put mayo anywhere near canned beans though, that sounds... really fucking nasty.
Jack is the gift that just keeps on giving, happy holidays 💝
I'm with Brian on premade combined salads. I will not eat or buy prebought salad, you can't save that garbage. Seriously, how can you trust a potato or macaroni salad where one of the first ingredients listed is SUGAR?!!
Love the reaction, Brian.
Thanks for tuning in dude!
That's what I was going to say. The store bought versions of macaroni or potato salad are so disgusting because of all the sugar in them. I do actually like both of those, but not with sugar. It makes them so disgusting.
I'm one of those weirdos who likes those store-bought versions, but I do prefer homemade.
P.S. Open cans correctly and it wont fall in... Supposed to be perpendicular to the can, not parallel... the can opener should be on top, blade in the side under the lip.
I'm all for not wasting food,but DAMN!!! I would love to see your take on this Brian.
🤘
I would love a redo attempt to see what you can make. Being able to stretch out scraps on a budget is really helpful and it's good to take a positive 'what can I actually do to make this as good as I can and still use this up' take.
Working on it!
You don’t want to waste any food. You don’t have to pile all the things into the same dish. 😂
That fitz guy built a dungeon basement and kept his daughter hostage and did horrible things to her, forced her to have his children. Saying even he wouldn't feed someone that garbage stew is HARDCORE 🤣
When he lifted the lid I instantly said "Is that HALF the red bell pepper floating on TOP?!" I can't.... 💀
😂
i had a bean salad with baked beans and it never looked like vomit like this
This is like if Kay was on Chopped with the random assortment of ingredients💀
😂
LMAO
You, Frenchie and Guga should try to "fix" this guy's recipes. Lol that would be an amazing video!
Yo! Kimchi stew with hot dogs! You rock. I was thinking I was a trash bandit for doing this. First time I had it with hot dogs was from a vendor.
RIGHT NOW I have leftovers of this that I made sitting in my fridge!
(BTW, I made a double recipe of Maangchi's kimchi and canned it so I can have kimchi jiggae anytime.) I do prefer it with pork belly, though.
🤤pork belly
"Have you ever had hotdog stew?!" Yeah, sadly sometimes I'm reminded that the dude behind Uncle Roger likely never struggled in life.
man what
he was born and raised in malaysia, hotdog stew is incredibly foreign to pretty much anywhere in that general region
unfortunately i wont be able to be there for the live stream but looking forward to seeing the video when i wake up. tear him a new one Chef!
🙏thanks buddy!
You can tell you're looking at a world class chef when he's got one of Vinny Offer's Slap Chops! That, I can tell you!
You should review The Wolfe Pit. I feel you would respect his cheap budget meals playlist.
chef here and i used to work with breweries doing beer dinners. you do not wanna cook with IPAs: the hop nuances cook out and you're left with only the bitterness of the hop
I would be interested in seeing how you could make those same ingredients into something decent. The technique to turn left overs into something good is something we don't often get to see, despite it being an important skill. Some side by side comparisons of your version and his would be interesting.
🤘working on it!
Jack closing his channel down sadly so funny
You're not being too hard on him. This is a guy that has been making cooking videos for like 10 years and has not learned a single thing about cooking. It's actually kind of amazing. Even the dumbest of people will learn something after that much repetition. I can't imagine where his confidence comes from considering every video comment section is just trashing him. Maybe he doesn't know how to read? Would explain why he can't follow a recipe.
Its beautiful how disgust is a universal language we can all understand.
Whats sad is he has okay ingredients to make a variety of dishes...
100%
the worst thing is not the canned beans or the mayonnaise, but the fact he mixed canned bean slime and mayonnaise together...
🤮
Dude i would like to see u personally react to more jack videos like i know other do too lol the man unlike kay is a bad cooking trying to make peolpe think hes a great cook the exact opposite of her so i think hearing a reall chefs talk on his videos would be amazing. Just in case i gotta recommend his mccormick bag n season vid its legit one of the worst things ive ever seen along with his aunt myrna cheese salad recipe i know for fact u could have a field day with them.
McCormick video is on the way!
14:57 I still love coming back to this moment when Chef Brian first realized what he was dealing with when it comes to Jack’s cooking 😂
As funny as watching you and Uncle Roger roast this video is, I know there are people who eat some pretty nasty food just because they don’t have a ton of money and don’t know how to combine the ingredients they do have. Would love to see a video about how a chef like you could take these types of ingredients and make something better with them.
Working on it!
My parents and in laws cook stews like that; throw it all in and boil the hell out of it for a while. My mom is slightly better than my mother in law with some soups and stews, but not by much. They all have money BTW. For them it's more like they genuinely believe soup and stew is just cooked that way. I'm not sure if my grandma cooked stew like that? I'd like to think not but idk. Maybe it's because my mom and mother in law did many stews and soups in a crockpot and they were just "dump and go" kinda meals? I love a good crockpot meal, but my soups and stews in the dutch oven are superior because of the methods I use. If you actually brown your aromatics and spices in fat before adding the soup or stew ingredients and boiling and then simmering, it's way better. More hands on though. I think a lot of people just want a shortcut. And I think probably an InstantPot, especially with the saute function, is the only shortcut 🤷♀️.
If it hasn't been said (I just learned....)
Jack is a stroke victim
Yep, I think most know. 3 strokes in fact. He never learns though, and keeps up his unhealthy life style. Wouldn' t be surprised if the 4th wil be the final one...
Oh It very bad the title speak for itself
Lol
You should show this to Frenchie just for the laughs if you haven't already lol
The one thing I'd say: complaining about this isn't really that entitled imo, if you're blessed enough to have all sorts of ingredients to cook with, do it justice and make something decent, and not this lol. Also please do your own version of the stew, it would be an excellent video :D
That’s why I use the can opener from the top instead of the side. Lid doesn’t fall inside the can and doesn’t leave a sharp jagged edge
oh boy, one of the CTK's hidden gems of fun 🤣🤣 same level as Kay's cooking
🤦♂️
Honestly... Kay is the superior cook. Sure she will overcook, but at least she won't serve you saw chicken.
@@Nionivek Also, there's a wholesomeness to Kay's Cooking that's just lacking with Jack. I... WISH I had the level of confidence Jack has.
Hey… At least she made cupcakes that actually seemed safe for consumption. This guy’s food is ALL dangerous.
Actually on the Kay part, I think I figured her out since I know someone who she reminds me of. I think when people give her recipes they have to be as specific as possible down to minuscule details, because I think she takes the recipe as literal when she reads it. The person I know who we do this for is a friend of my mom’s and she honestly tries and it breaks her heart when she messes up. So we take her recipes and write them in FULL detail with every minuscule step broken down. She has made some phenomenal meals since we began doing that. So I think Kay just needs that, because in the cupcake video the recipe was broken down a lot for her.
