@@meliagant1650 Yes but no... Vicram said that he had been cooking more since he joined the channel so he is "familiar" with cooking. I see it as a somewhat even trade.
Jesus I remember when this dude had 50k and smol kitchen and now he's at 5 mil and I saw his cookbook at the bookstore yesterday. I feel like a proud parent
Joshua makes everything look so easy that I believed I could do as well as him if I followed his videos exactly. Then Vicram is showing me exactly why I’m wrong haha.
Can we get like a “myth busters” series? For example: Is it better to dry brine fried chicken or is buttermilk? Reverse searing/Sous vide a steak vs pan sear and butter baste, etc… Edit: Thank you to all the people suggesting channels that do something similar. However, it would also be nice to gain Josh’s perspective. Gaining different perspectives on food is the best way to level up your cooking imo.
Neither one seems to stand up straight for long enough, but I would say that he's around 5'9" (give or take 0.5") since he's about up to Josh's eyes (Josh is 6'1").
Josh gets to use the larger cutting block and work surface, new high grade induction top, higher end knives, and poor Vic has to use all the older hand-me-downs. Way to level the playing field! 😂All good, boys...great video as always, congrats to you both!!
Josh, my dude you gave yourself a few advantages man -he clearly didn't know the layout of his kitchen. -bigger cutting board -more accurate measuring device -bigger, broader bowls -near the stove Give the Challenger the handicap next time :)
Imagine watching a course of anything for a living. Then editing that course, meaning watching it over and over again. Do that for years. Then realising that you have absorbed almost no information of said course in front of 5 million people. Maintaining a good mood while being shamed by the boss evaluating your absent skills publicly. Then having to watch that nightmare in editing repeatedly. Respect to Vikram for being a good sport. I would have lost my cool.
noone: Josh: has to do a subscriber special every other month, because his channel is growing faster than my confidence behind the stove. Love you Josh, keep coming up with amazing recipes and video ideas
Vicram is a boss! I sincerely appreciate the friendship the two of you have! This was such a good video. Oh and the last 5 seconds with the ghost moment. Classic 🤣
I feel like Josh was much more accommodating to his mom, gf, and Emma and just went full speed to fluster Vicram lol. also, I had been mentally spelling his name Vikram this whole time. glad for the title to clear that up lol.
Always kind of feel bad for the other person when Joshua gives super brief description of what to do, then works at chef speed and moves on to the next thing without waiting or checking in. Kind of want to see it reversed. Have one of the team give him instructions blind, or a guest chef?
Yes!. How about a 'home cook / guest chef' challenge?! Home cooks send their challenge video for a shot at the title. Home chef picks what they make. Get some real deal challengers on this.
@@knndyskful Anyone getting near Gordon Ramsey already has cooking skillz. Josh is for the average Joe who has the potential to be a good cook. I do like your idea tho. Josh gives two cooks blind instructions. Cuz him cooking? It's a flex we KNOW he can cook, but could someone else do it? I'd watch that.
@@losolosonsky I wish I learned that at 7 years old, props to your elementary school. Unfortunately the American school system refuses to teach anything outside of imperial measurement
I want to see somebody do this exactly kind of challenge with Josh, but instead they know what they're cooking and Josh is in the dark. He has a distinct advantage each time...
I think it would be cool, if Josh put his skills up against random restaurant chefs around the country. (Not famous people, like Babish or J Kenji, or Guga.)
Congratulations on your subscribers plaque. I also really enjoy your team and how well they all work and seems they really enjoy each other to make your channel what it is today. Congratulations again 👍🏾🎉🎊
Fun fact: 5 million subscribers is roughly 1.66667% of the United States Population, and 0.0625% of earths population. Congrats Josh! Looking forward to receiving my cookbook! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@pawangurjar9173 I thought that too haha. But then I put it in the perspective that most people only affect a few hundred people in their lives. Hopefully if Josh sees this he understands 😅
I feel like Josh sets people up for failure by not having all the kitchen tools ready and then doing stuff like a brand new bottle of cooking oil and still proceeding through the directions as quickly as possible, lol
I think he’s trying to show people at home that you do not need all of the tools and experience to cook a great meal at home. You have to start somewhere.
Love being here since before you had 500k. I got you cook book and did absolutely everything you said to make the shoyu ramen. And it came out amazing. I was so proud of my self. And proud of you absolutely killing it in the game josh. I rock your hat all the time. Love you dog. Thank you
You should really do a mystery basket cooking challenge where each person makes their own thing , not many ways to lose when you're making your own recipe and your opponent is just trying to do the same
Your one of the few RUclipsrs I truly enjoy you don’t force your personality your just yourself and that makes it enjoyable you don’t brag you do what you love and have great people on your channel
Dear Josh, I literally saw all your videos that you made. Great job, I made many of your recepies at home and they turn out outstanding. Congratulations and thank you for this amazing content. PS: What happend to those potatoes? 😂
Utmost RESPECT to Vicram - damn, he didn't know the recipe. Not like he had a chance to watch and re-watch a video to repeat at own pace... Great job being on the spot like that, I doubt I could do that
I am a new subscriber but I can see you have made tons of efforts for your channel! Congratulations for 5M😍✨Love brito btw. It would be so great to have it in the morning!💕
Me and my brother used to watch your vids since the early days. I've been a subscriber since you had like 50k subscribers. I'm so so so proud of you Josh!
You deserve it bro. I love watching your videos. They aren't just good, the humor is enriching and it's always better to make your own of everything when it comes to food if it's possible or time allows.
Don't know about the off-screen Weissman, but the on-screen one is a really good manager. Humour on the screw-ups, encouragement on the mistakes, and praise on the proper efforts... 10/10
See I realize that Josh is assuming what he’s saying is being understood by the recipient; evident in the “cut your potato in half” as Vick paused because there’s 2 ways to cut something in half, Josh is already cutting into cubes and that’s why the other person gets so far behind, it’s not literally step by step instructions, it’s just regular instruction, if this were to be fair Josh would have to be a lot more descriptive and precise in his instruction
would def love to see a version of this where the challenge is to see how well josh can guide the other person to make the dish just as well as he does and a comparison/feedback at the end!
This is beyond mind blowing. I remember when this channel was at 100K and then we made it to a soft milly in a short stride. Then I blinked and Papa got the channel to 5 mill!!!! Congratulations to you and your team mate. More success your way! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Another great video guys. Love the transferable cooking techniques that are the basis of lots of dishes 👍 I’d be interested to see a video for any traditional/popular dishes we don’t usually get in UK takeaways that are common in Asian restaurants/takeaways.
Well done. You have expanded the world's appreciation that - with somewhere between a little and a lot of effort - everyone can make good food and this is an important thing in today's world. Thank you.
congrats, you really know your stuff... the things you cook are a simple as the people that enjoy watching by skill mostly I guess... so you got it all figured out and deserve your success very much, tons of dedication and hard work... unimaginable.
Next do an editing challenge, Joshua vs Vicram, where Vicram yells vaguely useful instructions for each step as Josh fumbles through the process.
The difference is that josh is familair with editing. As he said: in the beginning he edited his videos himself
@@meliagant1650 Yes but no... Vicram said that he had been cooking more since he joined the channel so he is "familiar" with cooking. I see it as a somewhat even trade.

If you haven’t gotten it yet, go do so. I ordered mine and got it on the release date.
As someone who has also seen his channel grow and is not his parent, I too feel like a proud parent
Vicram being confident right before starting the recipe and then almost immediately getting behind and flustered is such a mood
@Galactic YT lmfao why did i read that first line in Gordon Ramsay’s voice💀
@R. in the subtitles it spells his name as Vikram
@R. Everybody can see how its spelled in the title so what are you on about?😂 we see bro…

sous vide then fry anyway
Josh : gets eggshells in his eggs
Vicram: im calm *perfectly cracks an egg with just one hand*
I swear that was such a boss move
Thank you for acknowledging my egg cracking skills 👏
4:25 I love how Kendrick comes over to offer Vicram encouragement. Best dude.
Everyone: That leaves you, Kendrick (for the cookoff).
Kendrick seems like the nicest guy and I wish he was my friend. He's so wholesome
Protect Vikram at all costs. This was the most I've laughed today. He genuinely was terrified😂😂😂😂
Vicram, you're not short - you're "concentrated", like OJ but better.
Neither one seems to stand up straight for long enough, but I would say that he's around 5'9" (give or take 0.5") since he's about up to Josh's eyes (Josh is 6'1").
16:36 - There seems to be a difference of between 4 and 5 inches (Vicram's scalp == middle of Josh's nose)
heck yeahhh
pun intended?
11:47 Vicram: “I’m calm” with a one-handed egg crack following Josh’s shell oops.
Can we appreciate Vicram’s directing skills over the years. Great work. 👍
