I agree with Frenchy about the cheese. Soft cheese is best like Brie, Camembert, Mozzarella, even goat cheese, Provolone like the version of Cheddar. But the hard cheeses is a definite no.
BRIAN! Gordon made an attempt to redeem this "grilled cheese" and you gotta watch it...'Cause I bet it's gonna bother Frenchy. ruclips.net/video/RCqns11E_9M/видео.html
@@anngcampbellbower4385 You can use hard cheese. You just gotta grate it, or blend it with a melting cheese (or emulsifiers via 'Kraft singles' type cheese), or cover it with a cloche to retain the heat...There are ways to make less melty cheeses work despite themselves. Cheddar's a hard cheese and it's great for grilled cheese (I'm enjoying a smoked cheddar grilled cheese at the moment, cut with some mango-habanero-infused cheese I forgot what it was called). Gruyere even. But the bigger problem here is that Gordon cut big damn slabs of cheese on big damn slabs of bread, giving everything the worst possible chance...
This grilled cheese is something I'd expect a French chef with rapidly-progressing dementia to make one morning when he wakes up and thinks he's back in Paris in the 40s.
I thoroughly disagree. It's still a grilled cheese it you have a single accent ingredient. It only gets muddy once you start adding more and the cheese ceises to be the star of the show... But something like kimchi, or some thin sliced seasoned tomatoes, or even a little bacon can absolutely be that accent ingredient. Also, grilled cheese doesn't require american cheese. Something like gouda is perfectly acceptable and certainly more palatable than something like craft singles
My favorite thing regarding this infamous Gordon Ramsey Grilled Cheese Massacre is when Mythical Kitchen (Josh specifically) did a whole video on it and actually got the attention of Gordon in response - leading to a beautiful friendship between them xD
So pleased to hear you mention grilling both sides of the bread @13:12! The cheese melts faster, and there's those extra layers of toasty texture. This is the way!
I love when yall watch good videos, and I love when yall watch bad, but what I love most is when yall talk technique. Any random person can react to a video, but experts reacting and explaining what is good and what is bad and why is what keeps me coming back. Frenchie may get bored, but thats just the extra ingredient that is entertainment, lol. Another great one in the bag.
The idea that you can put Kim Chi on a grill cheese is INSANE. That crap would completely overwhelm the cheese and the bread. And some of us find it disgusting.
If there's one thing I love about this video, it is 2 professional chefs talking about keeping a grilled cheese simple. Nothing beats cheap bread, butter, and American cheese.
@@SpicelordI always love this argument from Brits, you're all from Britain, you're all British, it's like an American saying "I'm not an American, I'm from Texas/California/New York!" Like dumbass that's all in America
My personal favorite grilled cheese is sourdough bread with a mix of pepperjack and sharp cheddar. Make sure the heat is on low and use a lid to get a nice melt.
Grilled cheese is a very melty cheese in between two slices of buttered bread on a griddle. Maybe add some ham if you are feeling fancy. Don't understand chefs wanting to upscale a grilled cheese sandwich.
@@DrHDoofenshmirtzphdI love the egg taste it gives the sandwich and not getting as soggy as butter does. both are fire tho, it's just a matter of taste.
I like to use one slice of American and one slice of another nice cheese. I find that the American combines and melts well with other cheeses and can even make another great cheese even more flavorful.
'American cheese' combines and melts well because it's blended with emulsifiers for that exact meltability. But you don't even need that if you just don't cut ridiculous slabs like Gordon did here. :x
My go to grilled cheese is melted butter in a pan place two slices of texas toast white bread into it then a slice of Kraft American cheese on each slice. then after about 45 seconds sandwich them together and flip every 30 seconds till color you like. Then serve with a simple mug of campbell's tomato soup made with a tbs of butter and milk.
My favorite grilled cheese is a jalapeño popper grilled cheese with bacon , and more cheese grilled on the outside of jalapeño cheese bread from my local baker ❤❤❤
I agree with him on that, but I disagree with him on other things like grilled cheese has to be American cheese. As long was the bread is cooked to a crisp and the cheese is melted and only has cheese, then it's a grilled cheese, the cheese doesn't matter as long as it's melted and it tastes good.
@_Yoda1990 'Grilled cheese has to be American cheese.' is a backwoods ass take. Hate to see it. 'Grilled cheese can only have cheese on it.' is a less totally wrong take but still wrong. Even the original grilled cheese allowed for tomatoes and/or onions, both being decidedly non-cheese. It's more of a ratio thing. Cheese has to be a majority of the total filling. This WOULD HAVE BEEN a grilled cheese because of the massive slabs used...If he'd actually grilled the cheese.
Man we used this cheese with everything. Macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese, hamburgers, hot dogs, queso dip..... That's the one thing I actually do miss about getting that cheese back in the day.
Larry Lawton did a prison grilled cheese episode. He said the prison had the block cheese. The best part was them getting the iron to cook the sandwich. That cheese still melted perfectly.
You should watch Alton Browns: 'Grilled Grilled Cheese Sandwich' as a counterpoint to this. I even believe it's to be found on the tubs. I found it interesting.
Agree with Frenchy...Mayo all the way! Though, I DO sometimes add some wasabi powder to the mayo for a little bit of spice. It does char a little faster, but done right it adds just a slight smoky flavour! All that said...Wonderbread and american cheese is my normal go-to, especially with homemade tomato soup!
5 seconds in and Paul already sniffed Gordon's BS out! 👏🤣 BTW That "Acid Trip" book at 17:01 perfectly describes our experience watching him fvck up so hard. 😂
That's just not true though. Even the original grilled cheese allowed for tomatoes and/or onions, both being decidedly non-cheese. It's more of a ratio thing. Cheese has to be a majority of the total filling. This WOULD HAVE BEEN a grilled cheese because of the massive slabs used...If he'd actually grilled the cheese.
I will allow up to one quarter of the contents to be non-cheese and still consider it grilled cheese, but after that you're right: it becomes a melt. The extra ingredients also have to be bound together inside the cheese and not allow it to be opened up after cooking
Frenchie, you are correct. Cheap white bread with American cheese is a grilled cheese. Anything else is a pretentious "reimagining" that was never needed. (And may taste great, probably does, but it's not a grilled cheese)
Hearing Paul go all Rain Man with "It's not a grilled cheese" just made my day. 🤣 Best grilled cheese I've made had a core of American, thin slices of Gruyere on either side of that, and finely-grated Parmesan on either side of that. And the special trick: after you butter the bread, sprinkle some smoked paprika on the butter, then grill it in a covered skillet, low & slow. Parm+Gruyere+American+Gruyere+Parm
I love grilled cheese, but I’m also lactose intolerant. I can only eat hard cheeses, so when I make grilled cheese, it’s with cheddar or Jarlsburg. I grew up with Jarlsburg on Jewish rye anyway. But I’m not serving it in a restaurant. EDIT: And yes, we sliced it thin.
I am British and I love British Cheese on toast, it is something we all grew up with. The way we had it it was usually made with white sliced bread, cheddar chese and some Worcester Sauce or Hendersons Relish (a locally made sauce) lightly drizzled on. I also loved a grilled cheese but Gordon's seemed to be going for posh for the hell of it. I love Frency's reactions it has made my evening.
Perfect grilled cheese for me is Texas Toast, toast both sides first so the cheese melts fast. American cheese melts the best. But a slice of cheddar or pepperjack mixed in; delicious.
Grilled cheese growing up was "rat" cheese on Mayo coated Mrs Baird's (inside the sandwich) butter on the outside. Cheese toast was made when someone didn't feel like fighting the cast iron.
ShopRite sandwich white bread is the best store bread I've found for grilled cheese it's freaking great. It's got larger bubbles that stand up to the butter
My parents used to insist on putting bologna or salami on it. I love salami but I dunno about putting meat on a grilled cheese. Not really a grilled cheese anymore. But I do want pepper on it! Pepper on everything!
Since Chef Josh from mythical Kitchen called him out on it Gordon “remade it”. It also got roasted just as bad as it is also not a grilled cheese. You guys should review that!
Havarti + Cotswold is my mix when I want something other than American. Throw a little bit of pepper and old bay in. If I'm feeling *real* fancy I mix the butter with some gorgonzola, so it's an extra cheesy grilled cheese
Tune in next week, when Chef Brian shows Chef Paul that the French have been doing pain perdu incorrectly this entire time by reacting to someone's HK French Toast video.
Great simple easy grilled cheese: Place frying pan on stove. Turn on medium to medium-high heat. Add butter and let it melt. Place normal sandwich bread in frying pan let it toast to your wanted level of toasting. Take toast out of frying pan. Add more butter to frying pan. Let the butter melt. Put bread back in pan with untoasted side down. Place American cheese on top side. Once bottom is at wanted level of toasting take the toasted cheese out and combine the pieces together with cheese on the inside. When you add the American cheese you can also combine the two slices of toast together and finish cooking like a normal grilled cheese. When you add the cheese you can also add ham or other types of sandwich meats to have a grilled meat and cheese sandwich. Also pairs well with soup of choice.
My aunt got a cheese sandwich in UK and expected a grilled cheese sandwich. Instead she got shredded cheddar cheese on white bread, untoasted and uncooked.
Just like to thank you Chef Tsao, i barely ever cook anything meaningful, mostly just like ready meals. Mostly due to health and general inability. However today I've decided to make some chicken adobo, i mostly followed Joshua Weissmans recipe. Ive got the rice cooked ready to fry tomorrow, and the chicken is in the fridge in the marinade. Whether or not it actually goes well is another thing
My favorite thing to do with grilled cheese is to put garlic, pepper, and powdered psrmesan cheese into the butter. The parmesan helps protect the bread while still letting heat through to melt the cheese. It also adds a ton of flavor and texture.
I also do a light butter inside, I'll have to try toasting the inside first. Agree this didn't look good. crusty bread would be too hard to bite. Do enjoy a grilled cheese. I occasionally use a lid over the sand while cooking to ensure cheese melts correctly, keeps the heat in.
You guys are a riot! (But you probably wouldn't care for my grilled cheese sandwiches either;-) ) And I'm not above using a torch to do a bit of pre-melting when needed ... and I'll put weird stuff in but we don't even buy commercial bread or cheese slices... but, yeah, that's a toasted cheese sandwich. Fun video (as usual)
Gordon's responded to the criticism sometimes. He blames his producer for springing this on him so close to a deadline, which explains a couple things. He’s also made a redemption grilled cheese on the Hexclad channel, so that’s fun.
i'm not buying that excuse, the final product being what it is still falls on him not pushing back when he can just look at the end result. Not to mention, in all the reality shows he appears on where he/his producers just love setting short deadlines in unfamiliar conditions, he still yells at people when things turn out under/overcooked a bit.
Except that in that "redemption" video he failed again. He made a short rib sandwich with cheese in it and called it grilled cheese. I'm pretty sure at this point he has no idea what a grilled cheese even is.
A grilled cheese sandwich can be made in less than 10 minutes with 3 ingredients (bread, butter and cheese). It takes longer because Gordon doesn't understand what a simple recipe is. His recipes always have 30 different ingredients which require extra time being prepared. No wonder he complains about the deadline. You're making a sandwich Gordon, not a 3-course meal for a restaurant.
Nobody in California puts avocado in grilled cheese, because we know that heat ruins avocados. If you want to make a real California-style grilled cheese, you should use sourdough bread, preferably one that's not crusty and not in thick slices.
Actually lactose intolerant people can eat many hard cheeses that are aged for more than a year and there are special tablets you can take to assist with it. Also I am lactose intolerant and I constantly tell people that if cheese takes me out then fuck it. I'm not living without cheese. I feel that there might be a language difference as well. What you call a grilled cheese, we'd call a jaffle. To us a grilled cheese is one slice of bread then the cheese on top and you bung it under a griller and the cheese goes all melty and slightly browned and incredible.
I too am a butter purist. And the type to toast both sides of the bread so it's crispy on the inside and out. I've also put pickle chips in between slices of american cheese if I want something extra. Provolone is nice for a grilled cheese if you want a slightly different flavor. The fanciest I've done is use mild cheddar instead of processed american.
Smoked cheddar with mango-habanero cheese (I lost the label and don't know what it is; One of those paler blander ones; Asiago?) is my current go-to 'cause it's fucking delicious. There's not even a need to be limited to the Kraft Singles sort of cheese. Just grate or chop the harder stuff and put a lid on the pan.

I really had a good time laughing on this one. I love when frenchy gets indignant and Brian just rolling laughing about it. Y’all are a good pair.
My husband and I love the fact that Gordon cant make a basic grilled cheese. He legit cant do bread and cheese without fancifying it. 😂
there are plenty of ways to fancify a grilled cheese, but this wasn't it. This was an abomination to all that is bread and cheese.
He can't make frito pie either

And i use butter on both sides.
So you mean just a regular french onion soup.... With a slice of American cheese.... Come on man...

I also do a light butter inside, I'll have to try toasting the inside first. Agree this didn't look good. crusty bread would be too hard to bite. Do enjoy a grilled cheese. I occasionally use a lid over the sand while cooking to ensure cheese melts correctly, keeps the heat in.
You guys are a riot! (But you probably wouldn't care for my grilled cheese sandwiches either;-) )
And I'm not above using a torch to do a bit of pre-melting when needed ... and I'll put weird stuff in but we don't even buy commercial bread or cheese slices... but, yeah, that's a toasted cheese sandwich.
Fun video (as usual)
Love the vids!!! Keep up the good work!
Fontina and Havarti on wheat for me. SLC airport has a grilled cheese stand that sells kimchi grilled cheese sandwiches. So awesome.
Gordon Ramsey actually admitted on Mythical kitchen that he fucked up this grilled cheese, saying he was in wildernesses and against the time.
No commentary on Gordon oiling his pan before he puts the sandwich in it? Gordon: The BUTTER is the lubricant!
Gordon actually admitted to screwing this up in an episode of Mythical Kitchen, lol.
Watching this while eating a grilled cheese hits different. Lol. I used smoked tallow with some smoked salt flakes instead of butter/mayo though.
Gordon's responded to the criticism sometimes. He blames his producer for springing this on him so close to a deadline, which explains a couple things. He’s also made a redemption grilled cheese on the Hexclad channel, so that’s fun.
But that’s still not technically a grilled cheese 😂
i'm not buying that excuse, the final product being what it is still falls on him not pushing back when he can just look at the end result.
Not to mention, in all the reality shows he appears on where he/his producers just love setting short deadlines in unfamiliar conditions, he still yells at people when things turn out under/overcooked a bit.
Except that in that "redemption" video he failed again. He made a short rib sandwich with cheese in it and called it grilled cheese. I'm pretty sure at this point he has no idea what a grilled cheese even is.
A grilled cheese sandwich can be made in less than 10 minutes with 3 ingredients (bread, butter and cheese). It takes longer because Gordon doesn't understand what a simple recipe is. His recipes always have 30 different ingredients which require extra time being prepared. No wonder he complains about the deadline. You're making a sandwich Gordon, not a 3-course meal for a restaurant.
For lunch today, I made a grilled cheese with Tillamook Cheddar on sourdough. It came out quite well.
“Wait wait wait wait wait wait. Those are the cheeses he’s gonna use?” 😂 my exact reaction the first time I saw Gordon do this.
Nobody in California puts avocado in grilled cheese, because we know that heat ruins avocados. If you want to make a real California-style grilled cheese, you should use sourdough bread, preferably one that's not crusty and not in thick slices.
Actually lactose intolerant people can eat many hard cheeses that are aged for more than a year and there are special tablets you can take to assist with it. Also I am lactose intolerant and I constantly tell people that if cheese takes me out then fuck it. I'm not living without cheese.
I feel that there might be a language difference as well. What you call a grilled cheese, we'd call a jaffle. To us a grilled cheese is one slice of bread then the cheese on top and you bung it under a griller and the cheese goes all melty and slightly browned and incredible.
I too am a butter purist. And the type to toast both sides of the bread so it's crispy on the inside and out. I've also put pickle chips in between slices of american cheese if I want something extra. Provolone is nice for a grilled cheese if you want a slightly different flavor. The fanciest I've done is use mild cheddar instead of processed american.
Smoked cheddar with mango-habanero cheese (I lost the label and don't know what it is; One of those paler blander ones; Asiago?) is my current go-to 'cause it's fucking delicious. There's not even a need to be limited to the Kraft Singles sort of cheese. Just grate or chop the harder stuff and put a lid on the pan.
All of these dos and don’ts - Just cut to the chase- use a toasted sandwich maker - perfect every time 👌😋
I use pepperjack for my grilled cheese and put in sourdough.
Also uncle Rodger just uploaded a review on this video yesterday.
Frenchie pulling out all the stops today... now @19:08 gordon has a big head, he could fit that in there... 😆 lmfao
