This is the first time I’ve ever put cucumber pickles on pizza (pickled peppers of various sorts is a staple topping for me - especially jalapeõs or banana peppers), and it’s also the first time I’ve put what’s basically ranch dressing on pizza (I.E. a mix of mayo and sour cream).
To be honest, the idea of ranch on was something completely foreign to me until I moved to the West Coast, and the idea still kinda grosses me out.
That said, it was delicious so now I’ve got this whole cognitive dissonance thing going on that I don’t know how to deal with, but it’ll probably be dealt with through pizza.
I mentioned slathering mayo in places where mayo generally doesn’t belong. Here is a video of Kevin Bacon talking about me getting him to slather mayo on things where mayo generally doesn’t belong: • Kevin Bacon Gets Kidna...

Best pickle pizza I had was a falafel pizza. Rosemary garlic oil, falafel, parmesan, tomato, pickles, fior di latte, and tahini sauce.

@@OsamaRaoPK It depends, most of what you learn in culinary school in the west is based on specific precepts.

You have no idea how excited I was to see you post this video. We've been seeing pickle pizzas pop up in Pennsylvania since around 2012, and it's become one of my wife's favorites! I manage a deli for a small grocery chain and occasionally make these to bring home (and very, very occasionally make them at home). I use a premade store brand ranch base, Dietz & Watson pickle barrel pickles, pizza cheese, and then i hit it with dill at the end after it's done. It's a glorious pizza.

Pizza Friendly Pizza here in Chicago had a seasonal pizza a few months ago that had thinly sliced potato, dill pickle, and cream sauce similar to yours and it was incredible. Also, they're a Sicilian-style joint, too, so the crust is on point. Seriously worth a stop if you're ever around these parts, Kenji. Highly recommend the Miso mushroom slice. I dream about it.

Potato is interesting! I may try that at home. Did it look like they were prepped at all before being put on the pie? Seared or otherwise cooked or boiled prior? Or did it seem like all their cooking was done on top of the pizza? I guess I can experiment myself and see what works best but I figure I'd ask anyway.

@organizerbmo 9 ай бұрын

Yeah wtf is going on with the potatoes if you're putting them on pizza? Maybe I could imagine it if you made the best roasted potatoes ever recipe, in smaller chunks, with heavy rosemary seasoning or something interesting. But otherwise it sounds like Mac & cheese on pizza: too much starch with no redeemable/meaningful flavor addition to balance it out I need answers plz

I always place cold acidic things on hot melty pizza I make - I usually go for a slightly thinner - but same hydration - of a Detroit crust. I like summer tomatoes lightly salted with good balsamic, cold banana peppers, cold jalapeño slices, diced spicy pickles, or sometimes just balsamic dressed arugula and tomatoes. I LOVE cold crunchy acidity next to hot, crispy, cheesy, savouriness. I would go for this but would also wan cold crunchy ones on op with some greenery. When I make buffalo pizza, I make some diced celery quick pickles with peppercorns, dragon chilis, white wine vinegar, and red onions to chill and top the finished pizza. Hot and cheesy + cold acidic crunch is my favourite combination.

Kenji,you have to come to Syracuse and try Toss & Fire’s pickle pizza. They do Neapolitan-style wood fired pizza, and the pickle one has a garlic olive oil base topped with mozzarella, cheddar, dill pickles sliced thin, and applewood smoked bacon. After it’s out of the oven they drizzle the whole thing with ranch. It’s really something else.

Hi Kenji, I would love a fridge tour, please! I am nowhere near a professional, but my fridge is always so packed with condiments and things like that that it’s ridiculous and doesn’t leave much room for real food. I would be fascinated to hear your thoughts on what you keep and, if your strategy is to just dispose of specialty items after you use some for a recipe instead of storing the leftovers? After the fridge tour, maybe a follow up video could be a pantry tour, because I have way too much there too.

You mentioned in beef bowl video about layering onions, putting them in at different times so you get the best of both worlds. Same here with raw & granulated garlic. Could you expand on any other nifty ways to do this, or other ingredients it works well with? I've been adding tomatoes in like 3 stages for sauces so I get bright on top of deeply savory flavor, & same for onions/garlic: once at beginning so it gets caramelized, midway for sauteed/roasted texture, and some right before plating so it's barely softened & still sharp. Heck maybe even pickled onions on top or fermented honey garlic if I'm okay with my sweat smelling rancid. But it takes a long time when simmering. I'm just curious if there any dishes or techniques that center this or faster ways to get that complexity
