I don’t think it sounds crazy at all. Frankly food has a clear issue with diminishing returns as you go up in price. Often the most expensive things aren’t even that good, but they garner a lot of defense from those that already paid for it, and don’t want to feel foolish. I’d take an average meatball sub over an average Michelin star dinner any day. Even if the Michelin star meal is better, it wouldn’t be by enough of a margin justify the cost.

This is bizarre, I've been wondering in the past few days about why some of my favorite meatballs have a slightly acidic taste and have been mulling the idea of adding sour cream and/or lemon juice. This is the first such recipe I've seen include them. The stars have aligned, keep up the great work!

I made the rolls a second time for a sausage sub, and they came out wonderfully well -- they rose so high they were touching!! On the subs we put your jardinere (from the Italian beef, if I remember correctly). Tomorrow night it's going to be our second Detroit pizza -- so you have substantially improved our meals!!

I have a local pizza shop that does incredible meatball subs. They hit the sauce with a bit of oregano (that's not particularly unique) and some nutmeg. That pairing is incredible and the added complexity is just another level. I recently started doing this when I make meatball subs for my lovely wife. After the first time I did it, it's all she wanted to eat for the rest of the week! The addition of giardiniera here looks incredible. I gotta try that.

Most people that can't find buttermilk are probably from outside the US and if they're in europe there's a good chance they can find something called kefir which is very similar. Conversely you can also add a bit of vinegar or lemon juice to whole milk and let it sit for 15 to 20 min and get a close approximation to buttermilk.

@SRT392-MUC Жыл бұрын

I can't speak for whole Europe, but here in Germany you can find Buttermilk in every grocery store, even in the smallest shops. It's well know and common here. But yes, Kefir could be a good alternative.

Would I just use 250g of buttermilk instead for this?

@flamemasterelan Жыл бұрын

@@peoplepeople21 If you haven't done this yet, the general substitution method is 1 cup buttermilk = 3/4 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup sour cream, which is almost exactly the amount of whole milk / sour cream Bri is calling for in this recipe, so I'd just measure by volume for that.

Your experience with food is unmatched in the KZfaq space, as far as I’ve seen. Between you and a few others, I’ve been able to thoroughly understand cooking techniques, and make any dish, whether they be fully , or partially homemade, taste spectacular. The main takeaway from all of the cooking videos is: For sauces: make sure it’s emulsified when it has a fat and liquid component, with something like a starch or even anything with stabilizers, like cream cheese. I’m a sauce kinda guy and it’s the main thing I spend most of my time on, aside from making sure the dish is seasoned to taste. Sorry this was such a long winded comment, I’m a mix between drunk and grateful for people like you, who make it easier to make homemade shit!

Thank you.

It's been super cool to watch Brian's channel grow even in the short time I've been subbed (up 200K+ subscribers since I first saw a video in May, which is insane), and going back to the earliest videos on the channel it's awesome to see the growth in terms of delivery/format as well as more technical pieces like camera work and editing! One of my favorite parts about this channel is that he presents stuff like this while also being a pretty notable chef before leaving the restaurant scene - the fact that he was a sous chef for a James Beard winning spot and also helped launch another well-regarded restaurant gives him a ton of credibility, and the recipes he posts (from bread to 30 minute things to multi-day commitments) absolutely back that up. I've made multiple recipes of his (a few are go-to weeknight meals at this point), and every time I roll one out for friends/family they're floored by how good it is.

We made your meatball subs on the weekend, and holy moly, these are fabulous. Had leftover meatballs and sauce with some pasta last night and thoroughly enjoyed that meal as well. The tomato sauce in itself is going to be our go-to. Finishing the sauce in the oven really seems to add flavour that isn’t achieved on the stove top. The only thing missing for us was the giardinera (can’t seem to buy that in our neck of the woods in Atlantic Canada) but I found a recipe and plan to pickle my own so we will have it for next time we make these, which will be very soon. Thanks for the recipes!
