Is fast food actually that fast? Today we put Popeye's Spicy Chicken Tenders to the test as I have to make them before they get delivered. I also did a Q&A wrapping up 2022.

The deep dive on canned tomatoes was probably my favourite video from last year. Other deep dives that would be cool to see done or expanded on are: Rice brands / types Marinades (when to use them, and variations) Turkey/Chicken Stuffing (best cooked inside the bird, on a stove top, etc) Steak cooking methods (grill vs pan fry vs sous vide) I'd also love to see more done with spices, especially ones that are less common.

I agree. I really wanted to know if the premium I was paying was worth it but instead found out I’d been duped by the “San Merican” ones. I see that can in so many cooking shows so I thought it was ok. Plus, their brand name on all the grocery store apps near me (and on Amazon) is “San Marzano”. I don’t know how they are able to brand themselves like that but when I saw the video I went straight to my pantry and saw the small print. They got turned into salsa and I restocked with the good stuff. Thank you😂

Second this. There seems to be two worlds- "normal" recipes that have zero dietary concerns and will use 5 cups of oil if it makes it taste better, and "bodybuilder" or "fitness" meal prep like chicken, broccoli, brown rice, tilapia etc. There's a serious lack of resources for a good middle ground- health conscious recipes with smart substitutions. You have such a great wealth of taste and food science knowledge that I'd be very interested in seeing how to make high protein /lower calorie versions of meals for fat loss.

Buy your herbs from places with a high turnover, so they're as fresh as possible, as flavour in dried or fresh herbs (or spices) dissipates the longer they hang around. Buy little and often for the same reason. Store dried herbs in a cool, dry place. Sunlight and air destroy the essential oils that provide flavour. For dishes that are uncooked, like salads, dried herbs won't work very well. Heat and liquid, and fats all extract flavour from herbs the best but, I would add dried herbs towards the end of the cooking process. When can you sub dried for fresh? When it won't impact the texture or flavor of the finished dish. For instance an omelette aux fine herbs, needs fresh herbs, because the dried herbs don't have the time to rehydrate properly in the egg.

I think deep dives like that on rice types, marinade types, dried vs fresh herbs, instant/powdered food like milk, mashed potatoes, noodles, spices and how they compared to their whole counterparts would be cool videos to see. Seeing more Southeast Asian or Middle Eastern food would be great as well!

Both sauces are super simple to make, Honey-Mustard use spicy brown mustard & it's just a 50/50 mix. But if you want it really spicy add some or use all chinese mustard, tastes DAMN GOOD. Buffalo Wing is also 50/50, melted butter & Red Hot, but people do add a tiny amount of white vinegar, and/or add a hotter hot sauce, or you can always add some honey to your wing sauce, and/or ketchup if feeding to children, or just those that do not like the zing or heat of the the hot sauce. I just use 30% butter & the rest Red Hot since I buy it in the gallon jug, along with a little of Natural Nate's Honey, it is a national brand & tastes better than fancy gourmet honeys at a third or less the price.

Hi Ethan, I've been enjoying your videos for the past few months while also learning a lot from them, so thank you so much. What I love about your contents is : - how we can learn so much about daily cooking on a fundamental level (it allows me to truly understand the ingredients and apply the principles as I see fit) - how there is little to no preprep/post edits and you just show how you typically do stuff (which is super helpful as we get to see and learn the whole process of cooking and kitchen maitainece itself not just the recipe) - how your explanations are clear and organized (you seem to really enjoy your work and care about the quality of the infomation shared) The content I enjoyed most are : (in order of enjoyment) 1. ingredient deep dives (especially the tomatos and parmesan reggiano) 2. faster then series (its really persuasive on how easily you can replicate fast food and how far better it could potentially be) 3. and of course weekday meals (these feel more lighter and I just get to enjoy seeing you cook something new) What I would love to see added are : videos on how you maintain your stock (having a small family makes maintaining various ingredients all at once a hard task ; When I want to cook something there's always a couple of ingredients missing, when I buy the various ingredients for things I want to make I end up with leftovers which a large part of gets bad before use) I imagine seeing how you do it would be of tremendous help. eg) How do you manage your fridge/pantry?, What are the staple ingredients that you always have ready?, How do you store large portions for the longer run?, etc. Maybe even a small tour of your fridge/pantry will help me grasp a general idea on how to deal with mine! That's all for my extra long rant :D Thanks and keep up the great work!

Over time I've found those sorts of videos a lot more interesting than straight recipe videos (although the kind you do are really good too, where you dive into the reasons why each ingredient works and cover possible variations, like the pasta videos you did earlier in the year). These fast food videos are great for some lighter content too, a good way of showing quick and healthier home fast food, to stop me ordering as much takeout. If I had to pick one though, maybe biased from recent memory, the meal prep video you did a couple months ago was really useful, and helped me re-evaluate how I make food for the week. Future ingredient videos: Oil might be an interesting one, you've touched on the ideas in past videos, and gone in depth on olive oil but a deep dive on the whys and hows of using different types of oils would be good. I see lots of videos and articles talking about high smoke points and how olive oil shouldn't be used for frying, but then a fair number who say it's overblown and doesn't matter so much. Blind taste tests of different oils for deep frying, roasting, stir fry, salad dressings etc might have some obvious results, but maybe not as much as we think. Other cuisines: I was going to say Mexican, but then I remembered you did that a couple years ago. I'm a big fan of Asian cuisine, US chefs often miss a lot of the details when doing recipes and videos, while native chefs and people can be a bit overly traditionalist about there only being one right way to do it, with ingredients that aren't readily available in the west. I think you'd do a good job of balancing between the two, explaining why they use certain ingredients and techniques, what effect they have, and how we can best replicate it in our kitchens. So my vote would be for Thai or Japanese. Love what you're doing, I've learned way more from these sorts of videos than most other cooking channels. Definitely agree on the long form content vs the trend of more short form videos on KZfaq and other social media these days.

Ethan - this was a most enjoyable video to start my Monday morning with! Got a few points/questions/suggestions... 1) Firstly, this was the most relaxed "can I make this faster" video I've ever seen. Loved the chill vibe, good music, good and thoughtful answers...and the fact that even you were trying to make something fast, you weren't rushing around madly, but just did your thing and didn't get flustered when Popeyes beat you with their "sitting on warming rack" chicken in 21 minutes.. 2) Would def appreciate a video on BtB! I've just started using this lately and have appreciated the boost it gives and so would definitely like to see more ideas in how to use it. I forget where I got this hack from, but recently made some taco meat for burritos. Before I've tried mixing all my own spices together (standard onion powder/garlic powder/cumin/paprika/cayenne/pepper/salt/etc) but it just lacks the pungency and depth and deliciousness that the McCormicks (or whoever) packet gives. So other night, used my spice mix but instead of salt, added a tablespoon of beef BtB and it was delightful!! That stuff is where it's at (although maybe I should use low-sodium one next time hah) 3) I follow a few food youtubers and you're definitely in my top 5! You're also the only one I enjoy who is also a fellow Texan, so I appreciate seeing HEB products pop up and your references to things I'm also familiar with. That being said, would love to see some videos on things that are more Texas/local specific. Maybe visits to some genuine taquerias and an analysis into what makes a great breakfast taco (me and my friends have had so many debates on this. We have come up with three pillars - fillings, tortilla, and homemade sauce/salsa. If a taqueria excels at 2 of the three, it will be a great taco.) Also on that same point, would love to see a deep dive into the green sauce that so many taquerias make. I know you had a great multi-part series on hot sauce (which I greatly enjoyed!!), but the green sauce here is its own animal (not fermented but actually oil-based and...very addictive). I've spent countless hours doing my own experiments to fine-tune a recipe to try and mimic a local Mexican restaurant here in Houston and I'd be interested to see your approach. Anyway - more Texas content and things that we do here that most other places don't...and that I'm sure people would be fascinated to see! That all being said, this is far longer a comment than I meant to make. One more thing before I close. Have really appreciated your deep-dive videos into ingredients and questions that I always wonder. Especially the ones on tomatoes and vanilla have been huge for me, as I use these things all the time and now I'm actually aware of what I should be looking for when I'm at HEB. So...very much appreciate the insight and education your videos have been giving me. Appreciate you, man!

@@FunctionallyLiteratePerson A video in celiac disease would be especially challenging and potentially problematic, if one doesn't do one's research. A lot of people think that just staying away from foods with gluten in the ingredients is enough, but cross-contamination is a *big* issue with celiac disease. Ingredient statements can look fine, but companies aren't legally required to disclose whether their food is made on shared equipment with gluten ingredients. The FDA doesn't even consider gluten an allergen that needs to be declared, only wheat, so it's up to the company, whether they list something like barley malt as an ingredient. It's messed up and dangerous. Then, there is the whole issue of most oats not being purity protocol, even when the package states that the product is "gluten-free". Example: General Mills uses sorting methods for their "gluten-free" oat products, and they have had to recall cereals because they contained too much gluten. In Canada, Cheerios aren't even allowed to be labeled as gluten-free, because of the cross-contamination risk. Plus, some people with celiac disease don't seem to tolerate oats because of the avenin in them, and no one knows which celiacs tolerate them and why or how much is safe. Anyway... I could go on for hours. Long story short: I'd rather not have people who don't have celiac disease or who aren't medical professionals with extensive knowledge make a video on gluten-free foods.

I loved all the science/deep dive videos. Not only were they entertaining, but they explained how the ingredients (and how they were used) impact the foods they are used in in a way that I can apply it to other meals, especially when trying to cobble something together with what I can find in my pantry that still tastes good. I'd love to see a deep dive on how substituting different fats can impact food and why - for example substituting lard, Crisco, butter, etc in baking recipes. As for what cuisine I'd be interested in seeing, I'm going to pick something less popular and going to say central/eastern European (Czech, Polish, etc) cuisine. A lot of attention is given to French, Italian, Spanish, and German cooking when people talk about European cuisines but Slavic cooking rarely gets looked at.

I love the deep dives, with the flour one probably being my favorite. I think they set you apart from a lot of other channels. Maybe you could do something on different kinds of butter. ie: Regular, Uncultured American (maybe even salted and unsalted), vs Cultured Butter, vs a higher-end butter like Kerrigold or Smjor or something even fancier, vs something plant-based; with taste tests of just butter on toast, and in a sauce like a buerre blanc, and maybe something baked? Or maybe one comparing different types of chocolate... That being said, the most useful single video for me was the healthy weeknight meals video with the spicy garlic noodles recipe. I've made that several times for myself and others and it's been great each time. (I even bought the noodles you advertised with your code.) I have several other recipes from your weeknight meals videos I'll be trying in the near future. Thanks for all of the great content!

Like your channel. Like these "can you do it better and faster then fastfood"-series. But to give something completely different, have you ever tried Swedish food? And I dont mean just classics like IKEA Swedish meatballs and potatoes, mashed potatoes or stewed macaronies. I Mean stuff like "Palt", "Makaronivälling", "Flygande jacob" och "Kalops" (among others). Sweden also often make "swedish" versions of other cultures, like Pizza and Kebab, and also mix different cultures into various frankenstein dishes. Food-wise Sweden is inspired by a multitude of countries, almost to a level that classic Swedish food is forgotten or abandoned. Just a thought. Cheers.

I know you already did a video on ramen, but taking a deep dive of umami and the ways that it affects ramen and how to make one's own tare and how different ingredients affects the overall bowl would be a great topic. Given that tare is literally the secret sauce of ramen where shops hide their recipes, it's hard for homecooks to know how to experiment with so little information available on what's being used and how it will taste. A recipe lasts through multiple bowls and we can't really compare one batch to the next as they last for so long and we won't make a new one until it's done and have completely forgotten the actual taste. And as a result, a trip to Japan for this topic would be a great addition to your places to visit
