His videos are also recorded and cut that way, so I think the editor that does it also exaggeres on this behavior. I think it's about intentionally trying to emulate "chaos in restaurant kitchen" kind of cooking. After all, Gordon as media person is a character, the man Gordon in reality is, must have some same qualities, but he's not this character as he's on camera. It's the same with most celebrities, many develop a character unintentionally. And sometimes it's intentional exaggering behavior to produce something that sells. No human is immune to this, and every individual has multiple roles in their lives, where they behave differently depending on surroundings, social setting, work expectations etc...

@TrappedinSLC Ай бұрын

We RV and the sheer variety in terms of cheeses stocked at *Walmart* in different areas of the country is fascinating. You'd think they'd all be quite similar, right? But no. Not at all. There was one Walmart we went to where you legitimately couldn't even get a half-decent cheddar. It was American slices or the "cheddar" equivalent or nothing. That was weird.

@jishani1 Ай бұрын

@@chrissolace that's not entirely true. Yes, there are lots of varieties of pre-shredded cheeses on the market, they're more expensive than just buying the blocks of cheese and shredding them yourself. Walmart has blocks of cheese, they make their great value branded ones, and then there's generally cabot, sargento and cracker barrel as well in the same section as the shredded cheese. They have more specialty cheeses up by the front in the produce section. Any grocery store with a deli counter is more than willing to cut you a slab of cheese off one of their blocks or sell you an unopened one as well. Every step of processing that goes into food increases the cost. Compare chicken breasts and chicken breast tenderloins. Same cut of chicken, one has been cut into strips, almost $1 per pound difference in price. Same with the shredded cheese. It's more expensive to buy the bagged stuff than to buy the blocks.. it's just a lot more convenient and not prohibitively more expensive so people do.

I think Gordon obviously botched his grilled cheese in the video with the high heat and thick ass bread... BUT the idea of cheese and kimchi is something that is quite common in the Korean cooking sphere and is commonly seen in Korean comfort food actually. The spicy, acidic kimchi lends itself quite well to something greasy like cheese. Love the video as always, James. Wishing you all the best.

What I find I like most about Chef James...zero pretentiosness. There was a cooking show around when I was a kid called "The Frugal Gourmet." In this case frugal did not mean inexpensive. His show would go something like this "Go get yourself a nicely dressed and prepared pheasant." Chef James' approach "I'm using a pheasant, but if you can't get that grab a nice size chicken or duck." It's refreshing that I don't feel I have to scour the universe for rare ingredients, like Kraft American singles.

Same with a fried Spam sandwich. My dad used to thin-sliced Spam and fry it crispy. It's got the taste and almost the texture of bacon, but without all the fat (I don't like squidgy fatty bits in my bacon). Then he'd put that in the middle of a grilled cheese sandwich as he was making it. Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, with that salty fried Spam flavor to balance it out.

Koreans have a whole thing called 'korean street toast' which is basically elaborate toasted sandwiches that are a hugely popular breakfast - kimchi and cheese is actually common there. I'd use different cheese though. At home a favourite toastie is white bread, mayo on the outside; with either canned tuna or poached chicken, kimchi, sliced red onion and raclette (sometimes I go for sharp provolone instead). It's really delicious, and putting kimchi in the sandwich makes you feel super virtuous. Kimchi is really good when you cook it, I love putting it in an omelette as well

I didnt grow up with cheese toasties, we had cheese on toast, so pretty much open faced. My dad made them. I don't know exactly what he did to them or what was in the cheese mix, but I still have fond memories of that thick piece of white toast with a thick, golden, bubbling layer of cheese. I know that it had finely chopped onion in it too, but no idea on what else was in there, but I know that there was something. It was rich and tasty and I both wanted to eat one after another for the whole day, but also couldn't because it was rich. That it is one of my best memories of my childhood tells you how gorgeous it was. I would ask him to make some nowadays, but I can't eat bread, butter, onions or cheese now, so it would mess me up, but it was really good.

On the topic of putting butter on bread: In Swedish, a sandwich is called "smörgås" (butter goose) and of course typically has butter spread on it. The "butter goose" was originally a lump of butter that floated to the surface as you churned milk, which was often picked out and eaten as a treat with bread.

@VoIcanoman Ай бұрын

6:38 I think the reason the mayonnaise works is more to do with the egg yolks it contains (as opposed to the oil). The amino acids in the egg react with the sugars in the bread and do a nice little Maillard dance together. The oil obviously helps with heat transfer, and using a tight crumbed bread as suggested makes the surface-area-to-volume ratio quite a bit higher, enabling maximum crisp.

@TrappedinSLC Ай бұрын

It's sort of a 'cheat's' French toast/eggy bread concept. It doesn't soak into the bread fully so you don't get the custardy insides but you get the same sort of crust on the outside.

Nice theory but commercial mayo contains barely any egg yolk, it’s packed with thickeners, flavourings and even sometimes water.

@@DiamondCake2 Says on the package that it contains 8.9% egg by weight (free range, apparently, although I have my doubts about that particular claim). That's actually a slightly higher egg content than a lot of homemade recipes, which generally use the ratio of one egg yolk per cup of oil.

I have to admit, Gordon is absolutely on to something, and I tend to do a mix of all of these styles. A nice country bread, buttered on the outside, a touch of mayo on the inside, with some shredded cheeses of your choice, with shredded kimchi, cooked in such a way that you do get all that crispy overflow as well, makes for an amazing sandwich. I'll also not infrequently add a little bit of sriracha, sambal, or another hot sauce on the outside as well. Sometimes for flavor, but quite frequently as a marker so I can tell them apart when I'm cooking several with different fillings and such.

Hi James - great decision to create your videos in such a way that you show your preparation of the sandwiches right next to the original ones. This makes the processes much more interesting and easier to understand. Well done.

Loved it, one thing I really like about your videos is you are able to tease recipes like Gordon's and Jamie's chutney (of course he had some chutney on the side lol) but you're never mean just funny, and suggest ways to alter or improve. I was really looking forward to this one thank you!

My personal fav is sourdough with mayo for toasting, but I think the best aspect of a grilled cheese is it should remind you of your childhood or home or w/e good vibes. So, what's best to use is whatever _your_ favorite thing is.

@RJGrady 23 күн бұрын

I like a sourdough with big bubbles in it. You don't have to make a silly crown, the cheese will just ooze down and touch the pan, giving it some delightful crusty spots.

@dillionedmonds5736 18 күн бұрын

My favorite grilled cheese is sourdough round, mayo, sharp cheddar, shredded parmesean, and Monterey jack cheese. Spread mayo on sourdough, 2 slices of Monterey jack one on each side, then a little bit of parmesean cheese on one side, sharp cheddar on the other side. And bake then on a low heat until the cheese just start sweating and melting, then fry on high heat for a crunch. The baking gets the mayo to permeate the entire slice of bread, while the Monterey jack cheese melts great, and the sharp cheddar and parmesean add great flavor. Then either a little tomato soup to dip it in, or a little ketchup.

Low and slow with mayo is highly recommended. The oil in the mayo provides the fatty heat interface, and the egg in the mayo adds a ton of flavor.

Good stuff. I think you did them all great. I like Ramsay's and Ragusea's the most.

I like watching your videos and I like the fact that you will give a try to new recipe to get new perspectives, I think good chef should bring harmony when adding new food ingredients to old recipes. I understand many famous "chef" always want to make some wierd twists to the recipe because they want to look different and get more reaction from other youtubers, which completely fix my low blood pressure problem. When watching Chef James videos, I feel I'm really learning something.

I’ve had a kimchi grilled cheese sandwich at a restaurant in Milwaukee. I thought it worked well. The sour and spicy of the kimchi countered the richness of the cheese and butter, just as the crunch of the kimchi countered the gooeyness of the sandwich.

I like to toast both sides of my bread on the pan. I toast 1 side of each piece, then assemble with toasted sides inside, and flip once the bottom is also yoasted

As a celiac, I cant actually eat grilled cheese but I love making them for my people. my favorite is using fresh Black Russian bread, Mozzarella and jalapeno Havarti with a slice of sweet onion between the cheese in the middle. butter the pan well, put the sandwich in the pan on medium low and put a lid on the pan. check often and when the bread sounds scratchy in the pan, flip it and repeat. once the cheese is melted, remove the lid and keep flipping as needed to caramelize the bread. let it sit on the board for a moment to settle then slice and serve.

Hi Chef James, Just wanted to say that you have a great channel. I recently stumbled across it and now have been viewing a lot of the older videos. I currently live in Washington (Go Hawks), but I used to live in Rota, Spain. I really miss living there.

I enjoy the standard grill cheese but I also add roast beef slices or smoked meat and let it cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

@provi480 22 күн бұрын

Frying a bit of shredded cheese on the outside of the sandwich has been my go-to since I discovered it. Absolutely wonderful. Have to get it nice and crispy, though, so it's like the cheese on the outside of a pan pizza.

I'm a huge fan of the cheapest Jorge Forman grill you can find(basically a 15$ panini press) for making grilled cheese sandwiches. My two favorites are 1) you skipped but a pan bimbo with fake cheese is amazing and 2)brown wheat bread, aged cheddar, and a dash of sweet hot mustard(microwave 15-30 seconds first to ensure full meltyness) mayo spread on the outer bread because butter will be difficult to spread after the microwave.

I love grilled cheese so much, from being sick and it was grilled cheese with chicken soup, when I was in high school in the cafeteria and it was grilled cheese day, in adulthood living on my own fancying it up with different breads, brioche buns removing the top crust to make it more like bread texture for buttering, but all of the attempts my 2 favourites are normal 2 pieces of bread with a slice of cheddar (not the plastic wrapped style) and a slice of jalapeno havarti toasted to a golden brown, or my all time favourite which with the disappearance of this cheese from local stores is with Colby cheese and very thin sliced onions, so delicious.

When I make it, sourdough rustic bread (like the one you had creating Gordons), butter on the outside, inside, before adding the cheese, one side with mustard, and the other with cucumber/paprika-mix, then cheese (my fave is Jarlsberg!) on both sides, in stead of kimchi, slices of smoked ham... yum! 5 minutes on each side... oh, now I have to make one....
