Yeah. They are drop biscuits. I've got to say that this recipe didn't do it for me because it's nowhere near the same thing. Would I still make it for alternative biscuit reasons? Yes. Absolutely. It's probably delicious! But it's not a better version of the same thing.
Definitely drop biscuits. I had a copycat recipe using jiffy baking mix that was pretty good. This was years ago, before the boxed red lobster mix came out.
I would make these biscuits at red lobster when I worked there. It was easy, you would just open up a bag of pre seasoned flour, add some shredded cheddar, water, and then baked. After baking you would smear some really thick and gooey seasoned butter on the biscuit with a brush. The secret to making them taste amazing is to be generous with buttery liquid u brush on top of the biscuit.
I was making the box Red Lobster biscuits one time, and I used an entire stick of butter (1/2 cup) accidentally, instead of 1/4 cup, and they were a little bit too buttery... it also meant that I didn't have enough seasoning in the butter, since there's only enough seasoning in the box for the 1/4 cup of butter... I just added way too much butter... I just wasn't thinking, it was one of those brain fart moments... LoL
I worked in the kitchen at Red Lobster (Darden iykyk). They’re drop biscuits, we used an ice cream scoop. Then they’re brushed with scampi sauce when they come out the oven. Try them with jelly if you haven’t yet!
Bless his heart. He has never made the cheddar bay biscuits from the box (he’s a chef why would he) but I was waiting for him to add a garlic, herb butter to the top of those and he simply ~didn’t~ 😧 bruh, that’s what MAKES them
If I could suggest typing in Cedder biscuits and look for Divas Can Cook channel (she may be closer to the top) hers look a little better and she uses that White Lily flour.
Perhaps there should be a "But Easier" version. Everyone saying these are supposed to be drop biscuits is right. Heck, you can make these with Bisquick. The key is to take them out of the oven a few minutes before they finish baking, brush them with melted seasoned butter, and then stick them back in the oven.
I use Bisquick as a base for these cheddar bay biscuits, too. I brush with a mixture of dried parsley flakes, Old Bay seasoning and melted butter a few minutes before the biscuits finish baking or immediately after removing them from the oven.
Yeah he talks about the shape of RL biscuits like he doesn't know (which I'm sure he does) that they are drop biscuits. Though I have to say that cook RUclipsr: Divas can cook made Chedder bay biscuits on her channel and they look a little better than Joshua's.
I make my own as well but, I also add in dried partly and 2 tbsp. Pressed garlic and I don't process the cheese. I leave it whole grated pieces and use an ice cream scoop and drop on greased cookie sheet. When they are nice and golden brown I brush them with melted butter mixture of butter, fresh garlic, parsley, and old bay seasoning or paprika. Every time I make these I have to make double, and they never last because everyone gobbles them up. These are also great with soups as well.
Just an FYI in the US we make two types of biscuits. One is made from a stiffer dough that is rolled out and cut into circles with a biscuits cutter, which is what you see in this video and the other is called a drop biscuits, what you were served at Red Lobster. I'm sure this recipe is divine but the biscuits will have a different consistency than what you had at Red Lobster. Drop biscuits not only easier to make but the clean up is a breeze as everything is simple combined in one bowl then drop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto a cookie sheet.
@@Ugottabekiddinme All you need to make these into drop biscuits is to add more buttermilk until it's wetter, like a really thick pancake batter. Then drop them onto a pan like he has and bake the same.
I just want to say this channel is amazing. I have made countless recipes from your channel and is my go to when I am looking for a recipe. I really appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos and honestly most channels don’t compare in my opinion. Keep up the hard work I respect your grind!
Don't hurt me, commenters! I avidly watch every one of these videos and love them dearly. I feel like Josh is benefitting from the original product being cold and stale by the time he gets it home . Josh - how about adding a taste test while you're in the car? Second - this video is apples to oranges since Josh is making a rolled and cut biscuit and comparing it to a drop biscuit, then touting superior chew and texture. A fresh drop biscuit is crispy and crumbly, as opposed to the flaky chewy texture of a rolled biscuit. It's not the same thing at all and it's unfair to make a subjective quality judgement on that basis.
I absolutely agree, two totally different things. He also didn't put the melted butter on top with the herbs in it, and that's one of the things that make Red Lobster's biscuits so good. So, I think without that they just wouldn't be the same, and they definitely wouldn't be better.
I think the entire point of "but better" Is more entertainment than anything else. I don't think it's supposed to be taken as literally as some in these comments do. Most of time he is taking all day to slowly craft by hand using premium ingredients food that major chains mass produce 1000s a day.....it'd not a even fight. If you like red lobster biscuits fine....but his probably do taste better.....no RL could mass produce his using that exact process

He said he would pay for ALL of the ingredients if I make this for him again! Next month I'll be doing just that for his Fathers day gift!

Seriously. I actually worked at Red Lobster making these and while I do have baking-PTSD from making these I still love them. On a slow day I would make probably somewhere between 500-800 and on a weekend or holiday it would easily be over 1000. Also while the batter is obviously pre-packaged everything else, the herb-butter and cheese were fresh.

Yeah I’m pretty sure he does - you can see the biscuits wrapped in tinfoil which will help keep them warm.

They're drop biscuits, not rolled, which is why they look so different... Also you really gotta eat them when they're hot if you want the full impact from them. You even pointed this out for your own biscuits. I don't even doubt yours taste better, but sometimes you come off a bit mean spirited while hyping up your own version by comparison.
yeah he does come off that way these are getting worse tbh, he made toaster strudel but it was whole different pastry at that point the whole point of a toaster strudel is that you could put in a toaster,(toaster not toaster oven). And these look like a whole different pastry as well, i rather josh make cooking videos and tutorials about new recipes to cook.
I made my own version of these just the other day. But I used sourdough discard, and I definitely brushed them with garlic-and-parsley butter just before pulling them out of the oven.
I literally just lit a candle in the dark room and pulled a reheated biscuit out of the oven, lovingly brushed it with butter and garlic salt, and snuggled into a blanket on the couch... this is heaven
Hey, Josh! I really love your videos! You're an incredible cook with an incredible heart for people! Thanks for doing what you do and continuing to make quality content. We all appreciate it! Keep being amazing!! Seriously!!! Love you man!
as an employee at a red lobster, who's made those biscuits, I guarantee you its literally not that complicated 😂 The garlic butter topping is whats makes the biscuits amazing though
Joshua I don’t know what Red Lobster you went to but those biscuits looked dried out with little to no seasoning. The biscuits we get here in Michigan are hot, garlicky, salty, crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. 😋 This is why they are so popular.
I have to say, and for the first time, I much prefer the restaurant version to his. I made both versions last night and asked my partner to taste. He liked both biscuits, but preferred the ones from Red Lobster as they had way more flavor.
My grandmother and my mom made a Red Lobster biscuit dupe. It's a cheesy drop-biscuit that gets topped with garlic and herb butter after baking. They are sooooo good.
I think "better" cheddar bay biscuits is a logical fallicy. There is not room for "better." It is the ideal. It is the absolute zero of flawlessness. Any deviations only take it away from that point. The parsley/garlic/butter spread on top, the craggly bits, the fluff inside that turns gummy... It's goddamn magic. Adding lamination here, I say without exaggeration, it's like killing my god and sodomizing it.
Joshua is supposed to be a professional chef, yet didn't know theses were drop biscuits. Also, they are a mass-made FREE item (dine in only), that is from a mix with custom butter and cheese added. Anything a chef makes at home is/should be quite better.
yeah, thats the point of the "but better" series, to make a better version of a mass-produced item beyond any reasonable measure. i mean apparently they were drop biscuits and he fucked up but, still.
@@renhascake obviously don't know what stores are around you so I'll go with the most likely, Walmart has it. Most stores around me does. Try looking around the baking aisle. Walmart.com definitely has it if you can't find it locally.
@@LockeTheCole awesome, thanks! I just moved to US last year and tried Red Lobster recently too, didn't even think they will have their biscuit mix in stores 🥰
Cheddar Bay Biscuits are drop biscuits, also after they're done they're coated in herby garlic butter. You made some nice biscuits, but you didn't elevate them, you made a different thing altogether. Try the box mix version in the baking aisle to see what it is you're trying to go for, it's more like what the cheddar bay biscuits used to be like anyway. That would give you more of any idea of how they were made and a better baseline to work from.
I've been wanting to try to make something like these with sourdough discard. The sourdough discard biscuits I've made in the past almost taste cheesy on their own, but actually adding cheese and spices to them sounds amazing.
The RL recipe is just bisquick and cheese. The reason everyone loves them is that they get brushed with their "scampi butter," which I think is actually some kind of butter flavored oil with garlic and herbs in it.
Does anybody know if he has other videos about biscuits where he makes a drop biscuit? I was hoping for drop biscuit techniques and this is just another cookie cutter biscuit. Red lobster makes drop biscuits.
Not gonna lie... I was so glad he made these instead. I love the buttery layers involved in these biscuits. Drop biscuits are always so dry. I have to drink water after every bite. Not super pleasant. 🤷♀️ just my opinion. 😊
Drop biscuits are super easy. Follow his recipe right until the addition of the buttermilk. Add a bit more buttermilk, maybe 1/4 cup so it's wet and scoopable but holds its shape. Drop by large spoonfuls onto a pan (I recommend parchment paper) and bake just like he does. Might take an extra few minutes if your drop biscuits are large, which they should be.
@@Jdemonterey yeah we know what it is because in uk and australia it’s called a “scone” not a biscuit because a “biscuit” is what americans call “cookies”😌 haha that was so much to explain
They’re fairly similar with ingredients and prep, but biscuits here are more buttery and fluffier than scones. Also, for whatever reason we often cut the scones in triangles vs circles.
I think scones are much dryer than a biscuit. Biscuits in the US are typically softer, buttery, and about the size of a hockey puck um... about 7-8 cm maybe (I'd say 3-4 inches) They're usually served with gravy, meats, guess with savory things, never heard of them with something sweet like scones. kind of has the texture of a soft buttery flakey bread roll when it's a drop biscuit, or layered like a croissant when doing a cut one. I've had scones before, and maybe I've just had bad ones, they're usually a little hard, kind of like a flakey cracker almost or crumbly cookie. They tend to have sweet things such as jam with them instead of butter.
The sonic chili dog is an easy dub for josh, he could literally get store bought hot dogs and canned chili and win. I like sonic but the chili dogs a wittle gross.
When I was a caterer, I would make those biscuits regularly. All I would do is thaw frozen biscuit dough, add cheese, parsley, green onions, and seasoning. Very simple and people loved them.
When I make homemade biscuits and want to reheat them. I cut in half and put a small smear of butter and put them face side up in a toaster oven on broil for 1-2 minutes and they perk right up!!!!! Keep and eye on them so they don’t burn
Damned delicious has a really good copycat recipe for these biscuits. I make them all the time. The big thing josh is missing on this is the seasoned butter to go on top when the come out of the oven. Oh and the fact that he cut the biscuits. That’s a problem too.
Red Lobster was my first long term job. Don't care for seafood anymore after smelling of it for 8 years straight but those biscuits are everything. Even if they are basically just Bisquick with shredded cheese and a garlic butter on top. They are even better when you dip them in blue cheese dressing. Though they don't really carry, they have to be pretty fresh.
I used to be a cook at redlobser. This was the recipe. 1 lb. Bisquick 4 ice cold cups water 1/3 lb cheddar In the oven. Then scampi sauce on top to give it the salty taste
Except that he's not wrong because the premise of most fast food is "MSG makes everything cheap and tasty". Seriously, if more people learned to cook at home, food in general would probably be far cheaper because MORE PEOPLE WOULD BUY REAL FOOD.
@@Bungusmcbean It's not. It's loaded with all kinds of garbage to make it "shelf stable" or "freezer stable". There's something to be said for a hamburger that can sit under a car seat for several months and show no physical signs of rot.
@@gabudaichamuda2545 eh it’s a thing you eat that gives you nutrients there may not be much good stuff in there and there’s other garbage in there too but it can still be classified as food
@@gabudaichamuda2545 it’s been tested. Those videos are bunk. Burgers do that because of salt content and dryness, not because of any weird additives. Also, fast food recipes have to be replicable and standardized across thousands of outlets. Of course making it at home will be better. Weissman isn’t really proving much. If he wanted to try to mass produce his recipe at a comparable price... well then I’d be impressed. But obviously that’s impossible.
Josh: that doesn't mean we can't make it so astronomically better, that it's on a completely different existential plane. Me: it's a biscuit, big whoop
I used to work at Red Lobster- those things made me gain 15lbs. Lol There is nothing in them but instant buttermilk biscuit mix and cheddar cheese, then when they pull them out of the oven, they cover them in butter that has fresh parsley in it.
Video: "I get why people like these they do taste good." Description: "Everybody loves these biscuits... I don't know why" lmao Great video by the way!
I’m pretty sure Red Lobster’s biscuits look like that because they make drop biscuits as opposed to the traditional flaky looking biscuit
The boxes kind you make at home, definitely drop biscuits.
Yeah. They are drop biscuits. I've got to say that this recipe didn't do it for me because it's nowhere near the same thing. Would I still make it for alternative biscuit reasons? Yes. Absolutely. It's probably delicious! But it's not a better version of the same thing.
Yeah, that’s what I thought they are drop biscuits, I think that’s what makes them good, have texture to it, rather than a standard biscuit
Definitely drop biscuits. I had a copycat recipe using jiffy baking mix that was pretty good. This was years ago, before the boxed red lobster mix came out.
Homeboy fixated a little too hard on the "Biscuit" part of the biscuit and just wanted regular biscuits

I agree, sometimes an attitude of superiority comes out that turns me off from watching the video.
You're defending the honor of mass-produced garbage food sold by mega corporations. I'm sure their feelings will be fine.
@@MattAlgren What are you even talking about? That has so little to do with what I said, I'm honestly at a loss.
Bru they just biscuits it's not like he is making a god level food and calling it trash like chill a little bit
I made my own version of these just the other day. But I used sourdough discard, and I definitely brushed them with garlic-and-parsley butter just before pulling them out of the oven.
I literally just lit a candle in the dark room and pulled a reheated biscuit out of the oven, lovingly brushed it with butter and garlic salt, and snuggled into a blanket on the couch... this is heaven
"they look like turds" my man has never heard of drop biscuits before?
Drop biscuits do look like turds though
Drop biscuits are also delicious and you don't need to flour a countertop to make them
@Meghan Shitty texture. Yeah right. LOL.
@@king_ltc_ chile she literally said it's her opinion
Hey, Josh!
I really love your videos! You're an incredible cook with an incredible heart for people! Thanks for doing what you do and continuing to make quality content. We all appreciate it! Keep being amazing!! Seriously!!! Love you man!
These biscuits have a cult following. It’s scary
And don’t you dare insult Old Bay
Says the guy making people follow his cult
They have their place in my face, for sure.
Old Bay has its place there, too. Just, uh, not by itself. I'm not THAT huge a fan!
Yea old bay is a regional staple. It’s a region-defining flavor, honestly.
I just got told I was trash for not liking old bay not a few days ago
@@TalenkauenTV you ARE trash
I literally love red lobster biscuits. Josh would have to really blow me away to prefer his
as an employee at a red lobster, who's made those biscuits, I guarantee you its literally not that complicated 😂 The garlic butter topping is whats makes the biscuits amazing though
Delicious!
That’s the recipe please 😋
Joshua I don’t know what Red Lobster you went to but those biscuits looked dried out with little to no seasoning. The biscuits we get here in Michigan are hot, garlicky, salty, crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. 😋 This is why they are so popular.
Guys were are definitely not social distancing in this cabinet.
He should atleast move us in the storage
shut the fuck up with this social distancing bullshit
Well we all live here so we're just one big household
Who stepped on my foot?
Sorry it was me, Josh scared me when he opened the cabinet.
Not a better version of the same thing. It's a delicious other type of biscuit.
BUT it’s BETTER
@@Twittig33 but it's not a red lobster biscuit
I have to say, and for the first time, I much prefer the restaurant version to his. I made both versions last night and asked my partner to taste. He liked both biscuits, but preferred the ones from Red Lobster as they had way more flavor.
Add MSG to the biscuit mix.
when i tried it i definitely liked josh's version more but everyone has different taste buds
Is it against the law to say husband or wife anymore LMAO everything just partner now
@@toren2099 Not everyone is married.
@@PettyMayo then say gf or bf
My grandmother and my mom made a Red Lobster biscuit dupe. It's a cheesy drop-biscuit that gets topped with garlic and herb butter after baking. They are sooooo good.
I think "better" cheddar bay biscuits is a logical fallicy. There is not room for "better." It is the ideal. It is the absolute zero of flawlessness. Any deviations only take it away from that point. The parsley/garlic/butter spread on top, the craggly bits, the fluff inside that turns gummy... It's goddamn magic. Adding lamination here, I say without exaggeration, it's like killing my god and sodomizing it.
I wanna speak like this, so articulate
well said
Joshua is supposed to be a professional chef, yet didn't know theses were drop biscuits. Also, they are a mass-made FREE item (dine in only), that is from a mix with custom butter and cheese added. Anything a chef makes at home is/should be quite better.
yeah, thats the point of the "but better" series, to make a better version of a mass-produced item beyond any reasonable measure.
i mean apparently they were drop biscuits and he fucked up but, still.
Restaurants Josh Hasn't done yet: Outback Steakhouse, Chilies, Cracker Barrell
Has he done Texas Roadhouse?
Is there anything at Chilis worth doing a "But Better" on?

If Joshua has a child they are super lucky to have a chef like him for a dad
Ehh. I had a dad who worked 80 hours a week in a kitchen too. Its overrated.
If Josh has a son they’ll end up like Soma from food wars trying to out do his dad.
So ture
Me: *buys the red lobster biscuit mix from my grocery store*.
You'd get something more accurate than what he made here.
@@LockeTheCole you are correct.
Which store? 😱 I need it!
@@renhascake obviously don't know what stores are around you so I'll go with the most likely, Walmart has it. Most stores around me does. Try looking around the baking aisle. Walmart.com definitely has it if you can't find it locally.
@@LockeTheCole awesome, thanks! I just moved to US last year and tried Red Lobster recently too, didn't even think they will have their biscuit mix in stores 🥰
Cheddar Bay Biscuits are drop biscuits, also after they're done they're coated in herby garlic butter. You made some nice biscuits, but you didn't elevate them, you made a different thing altogether.
Try the box mix version in the baking aisle to see what it is you're trying to go for, it's more like what the cheddar bay biscuits used to be like anyway. That would give you more of any idea of how they were made and a better baseline to work from.
The first video I've ever screamed "HERESY" at when he said they don't deserve the clout
BLAM
Joshua.. been a fan (and subscriber) since before you quit your job you loved.. and this rocks.
Red Lobster makes a box mix for these that’s actually...good
I have genuinely never been more excited to see a biscuit in my entire life
Imagine but Better Oreo's!!
Like that'll ever happen.
Joanne Chang has a homemade Oreo recipe. They’re amazing.
reverse psychology moment
Dude anything is possible
Check out Gourmet Makes by BA (RIP) they have a pretty solid oreo recipe
waiting for this as well!
I've made these a few times now. The family love them. I usually put in a marinated chicken fillet with some salad and cheese. Go down a treat.
Love that you properly dispatched the lobsters! Bless your ❤️
I've been wanting to try to make something like these with sourdough discard. The sourdough discard biscuits I've made in the past almost taste cheesy on their own, but actually adding cheese and spices to them sounds amazing.
That sounds really fun. Biscuits all the time. 😀
Astronomically better sounds just fine for me 👍 who wouldn't want a bite of this?
Just one bite? Come on, I want them all!
Stop trying to sell your channel
The RL recipe is just bisquick and cheese. The reason everyone loves them is that they get brushed with their "scampi butter," which I think is actually some kind of butter flavored oil with garlic and herbs in it.
I always saw them as drop biscuits. that's why they aren't uniform and have those pully peaks - which i love.
We literally made this in foods class the other day and I was thinking “I wish Josh would make a but better on this”. Hahaha thanks Josh.
As usual Joshua, you have outdone the original. Well done! You are on a roll.
Nah, he's on a biscuit. Ya, know, bc he made a tradition defying lobster biscuit. I'll stop now 😅
“Till you ain’t got no more scraps left brother” 😂
I literally just made these and they are fantastic. I chilled the dough overnight.
Thank You for your recipes . Always learn somethi g from your works .
Does anybody know if he has other videos about biscuits where he makes a drop biscuit? I was hoping for drop biscuit techniques and this is just another cookie cutter biscuit. Red lobster makes drop biscuits.
Not gonna lie... I was so glad he made these instead. I love the buttery layers involved in these biscuits. Drop biscuits are always so dry. I have to drink water after every bite. Not super pleasant. 🤷♀️ just my opinion. 😊
Drop biscuits are super easy. Follow his recipe right until the addition of the buttermilk. Add a bit more buttermilk, maybe 1/4 cup so it's wet and scoopable but holds its shape. Drop by large spoonfuls onto a pan (I recommend parchment paper) and bake just like he does. Might take an extra few minutes if your drop biscuits are large, which they should be.
@@kjdude8765 my man!
me, an australian, confused af about a biscuit when it's just like a weird scone
It’s basically a butter based bread roll 🤪
@@Jdemonterey yeah we know what it is because in uk and australia it’s called a “scone” not a biscuit because a “biscuit” is what americans call “cookies”😌 haha that was so much to explain
They’re fairly similar with ingredients and prep, but biscuits here are more buttery and fluffier than scones. Also, for whatever reason we often cut the scones in triangles vs circles.
@@erinquinn2628 cool, want a cookie? 🍪
I think scones are much dryer than a biscuit. Biscuits in the US are typically softer, buttery, and about the size of a hockey puck um... about 7-8 cm maybe (I'd say 3-4 inches)
They're usually served with gravy, meats, guess with savory things, never heard of them with something sweet like scones. kind of has the texture of a soft buttery flakey bread roll when it's a drop biscuit, or layered like a croissant when doing a cut one.
I've had scones before, and maybe I've just had bad ones, they're usually a little hard, kind of like a flakey cracker almost or crumbly cookie. They tend to have sweet things such as jam with them instead of butter.
Furthermore. How about a request for Blooming Onion, as seen at Outback Steakhouse?
I love red lobster cheddar biscuits. They are so yummy and your recipe looks yummy as well!
Brushing brown butter to the top of these are absolutely bomb
Joshua, you have never heard of a drop biscuit?
You ain't from "round here, are ya?
Rolled biscuits are better though. It is what it is.
@@michellemcgough7476 I agree. I roll mine like my dad taught me. Just saying that some like drop biscuits better.
But better suggestions:
White House Hamburgers
Popeye’s Shrimp
Sonic’s Chili dogs
DQ’s Blizzard
The sonic chili dog is an easy dub for josh, he could literally get store bought hot dogs and canned chili and win. I like sonic but the chili dogs a wittle gross.
Love this series " but better "
No that's lie, i love everything in this channel 😁 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When I was a caterer, I would make those biscuits regularly. All I would do is thaw frozen biscuit dough, add cheese, parsley, green onions, and seasoning. Very simple and people loved them.
When I make homemade biscuits and want to reheat them. I cut in half and put a small smear of butter and put them face side up in a toaster oven on broil for 1-2 minutes and they perk right up!!!!! Keep and eye on them so they don’t burn
I forgot your from the Austin area until you mentioned Torchies tacos. I can walk there from my apartment.
HE FINALLY DID IT. I HAVE BEEN ASKING HIM TO DO THIS FOR MONTHS!!! 😆😆😝😝
Same!
Damned delicious has a really good copycat recipe for these biscuits. I make them all the time.
The big thing josh is missing on this is the seasoned butter to go on top when the come out of the oven. Oh and the fact that he cut the biscuits. That’s a problem too.
Red Lobster was my first long term job. Don't care for seafood anymore after smelling of it for 8 years straight but those biscuits are everything. Even if they are basically just Bisquick with shredded cheese and a garlic butter on top. They are even better when you dip them in blue cheese dressing. Though they don't really carry, they have to be pretty fresh.
I used to be a cook at redlobser. This was the recipe.
1 lb. Bisquick
4 ice cold cups water
1/3 lb cheddar
In the oven.
Then scampi sauce on top to give it the salty taste
*grabs the box*
Josh, immediately: Why Does It Smell Like Pee??
Me: Here we goo
Are you sure he ment pee I thought he said Pea? 😅
@@Nico-od4yv that would have been “smells like peas” 😂 not a single pea.
lol he’s so negatively biased towards fast food places...
like he can say he’s making it better without shitting on it in the process
“It’s not bad” or “it doesn’t deserve the clout” translates to “I like this flavor, but it would undermine my premise”
Except that he's not wrong because the premise of most fast food is "MSG makes everything cheap and tasty". Seriously, if more people learned to cook at home, food in general would probably be far cheaper because MORE PEOPLE WOULD BUY REAL FOOD.
@@gabudaichamuda2545 fast food is real food, also msg is used in home cooking because it tastes good
@@Bungusmcbean It's not. It's loaded with all kinds of garbage to make it "shelf stable" or "freezer stable". There's something to be said for a hamburger that can sit under a car seat for several months and show no physical signs of rot.
@@gabudaichamuda2545 eh it’s a thing you eat that gives you nutrients there may not be much good stuff in there and there’s other garbage in there too but it can still be classified as food
@@gabudaichamuda2545 it’s been tested. Those videos are bunk. Burgers do that because of salt content and dryness, not because of any weird additives.
Also, fast food recipes have to be replicable and standardized across thousands of outlets. Of course making it at home will be better. Weissman isn’t really proving much. If he wanted to try to mass produce his recipe at a comparable price... well then I’d be impressed. But obviously that’s impossible.
Josh: that doesn't mean we can't make it so astronomically better, that it's on a completely different existential plane.
Me: it's a biscuit, big whoop
Hey, Maine resident here... Not mad with the treatment of your Lobster biscuit creation.
I used to work at Red Lobster- those things made me gain 15lbs. Lol
There is nothing in them but instant buttermilk biscuit mix and cheddar cheese, then when they pull them out of the oven, they cover them in butter that has fresh parsley in it.
Day 5 of asking Josh to make a series where he shows us all of his mishaps and gone wrongs to help us when we make his recipes
Never in your life could you surpass those biscuits i still like you tho.
Video: "I get why people like these they do taste good."
Description: "Everybody loves these biscuits... I don't know why" lmao
Great video by the way!
Ur not even that fucking hot
Adding fresh rosemary to the cheddar biscuits takes them to another LEVEL
Ok you may have made the BEST lobster roll ever. I don’t care what New England thinks they have. Yours is amazing!
The mad man has finally gone and done it......
Going after the piece of perfection that is Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Hell yeah just in time to make for Thanksgiving
Josh stop hating, red lobster biscuits deserve all the clout they have obtained. Doesn’t matter if yours are better.
i also think theyre overrated as well
thank you man for the recepi it make my tum so easy to the food i love it and is good you do and is cheaper than the shop!!
dude I love how joshua can be childish sometimes and I love it sooooooo much
