      I always split bellpeppers in half and then rip out the internals with my hand. It seems quicker to do so and you have more of the bell peppers. Why is that not the preffered way of chefs?

    I've been watching your videos for about 6(ish) years. When I first got my cat as a kitten, 5 1/2 years ago, we would watch you together. I recently had to say goodbye forever to him. This was the first video I've watched since then and it's been hard doing it. I just wanted to thank you for giving me so many good memories with him, while watching your videos.

      I was thinking that. Maybe just throw the corn on a griddle or cast iron pan and char it a little if you can't grill it. It'll be leagues better than throwing regular canned corn in

    • @susansparke3462
      @susansparke3462 Месяц назад +1

      America's Test Kitchen made a recipe for Esquites and they demonstrated a good technique for getting great char on the corn kernels in a skillet. The chef also explained how and why this technique is actually even better than grilling whole corn cobs over a direct flame on a grill. The recipe is on their RUclips Channel in case anyone is interested.
      This Cowboy Caviar recipe looks fantastic! Perhaps I'll have to make a batch for the next family gathering! Thanks Chef John! ❤

    My aunt brings this to every family function and everyone loves it. We don't do it with chips, just have it as a side for burgers and dogs.

I love your recipes. Thanks so much! I’m definitely taking this to my next barbecue as the 7 layer dip is getting old! Although I do make a version of 7 layer dip but I add cooked crumbled ground beef that I’ve seasoned with taco seasoning mix. Then with some pita bread I can call that dinner!

    3:27 I would suggest to try black-eyed peas in some Hoppin' John as your first time trying them. I used to eat just black-eyed peas, ham and cornbread for good luck on Jan. 1st, but for many years it has swapped to Hoppin' John and I eat everything I fix. Since it focuses more on the peas and it isn't as hidden like with Cowboy Caviar. My mom has actually been wanting to find a good recipe for this since my bro always brings some Cowboy Caviar Salsa from Trader Joe's when he visits.

    Thanks chef John .. I’ve been making this dish for many years . Definitely a crowd pleaser that I didn’t think could be improved…
    but I think a couple of your choices better .
    I use fresh jalapeño peppers, but I think the tangy taste of pickled ones are a better idea… using grilled peppers sounds nice.
    I use red wine vinegar but think the rice wine vinegar would be better.
    One suggestion from me .. if not using fresh grilled , canned corn is way better than frozen.
    100% agree that fresh diced tomato is much better then chopped canned .
    Scoop corn chips are a must.
