"..it really does give you total control. I don't mean like of your life or destiny, I mean in the context of this sandwich" Love ya chef John!!

It's 11pm and I'm still seriously considering going to the store for groceries so I can make this right now.

I love tuna melts! My great grandfather, a WW1 hero, made these for me when I was young boy. Thanks!

Made this for lunch today (genius touch adding the bits of mozzarella). No potato chips, but had a cup of tomato bisque with it. Yum!

At my restaurant, we serve it open faced, with smoked cheddar and pickled red onions on top

Adding mozzarella is genius! I made a triple batch yesterday and it is spectacular! I have cooked up prolly close to 100 Chef John recipes and this is top 10 for sure on how tasty it turned out to be. Though I am saddened to have live 46 years on this planet thinking my canned cat food tuna recipe was good. And adding insult to injury, I've always had these ingredients in my fridge!! Capers, hot chili paste, mozzarella, etc. Please forgive, for I have sinned! Thank you Chef, you are a life changer!

I had a really bad tuna melt experience that we won't talk about but I think this might make me try it again! Looks delicious

"Probably prevent diseases". I'm pretty sure Chef John would slide in cayenne to any edible substance. Hell, he must carry a small hip flask filled with cayenne in case the occasion calls for it.

This honestly gives me inspiration to grow older and become a chef myself. It makes me want to improve me grades and become a successful person in the life of the culinary arts. Thank you

Gotta love this chef. Normally when watching cooking shows i always think it needs more salt. Here everytime i think that chef john says, add a nice pinch of salt. My mannnnn

My great grandfather; a WW1 veteran made me tuna melts when I was young boy, in the late 70's, early 80's. I love melts! thanks!

I've never in my life wanted a tuna sandwich more than I do now after watching this video!

I love when Chef John make "basic" foods... its just 1000x better than how we normal people make it :(

As a latchkey kid, when I got home from school, I used to take tuna salad, spread it on a piece of white bread, throw a slice or 2 of american cheese on top, microwave it, then throw another piece of bread on top. That was over 20 years ago. I used to love it; not sure why I haven't made it since all these years later. This looks like a grownup version that I'm definitely gonna have to try! Thanks!

I'm a YT subscriber to several channels and there's NOTHING I look forward to more than a new video recipe from chef John! The bizarre thing is that I've NEVER tried ANY of his recipes but I just enjoy hearing him describe what he's doing and the funny comments he makes ... truly entertaining!

Waiting for the turkey to come out of the oven. I'm starving! Why do I always cruise John's cooking videos when I'm STARVING!??!?! This looks sooooo good.

why do i keep watching your videos in the middle of the night??? i m hungryyyyyyyyyy

comedy-wise, this is my favourite chef john performance. have been subscribed for years. would promptly risk my life for him.

I made these and they were AMAZING! crunch bottom and tuna melts in our mouth. SO YUMMY! Thank you!

I have not had a tuna melt in forever! Now I want one!

A little adds a subtle bitterness that brings out the sweetness in the fish and bread.

Watching ur videos while starving is such a bad idea😭😭😭😭

you sir are stealing all my sleep and making me hungry. *-*

I really love your videos and find them immensely helpful, DON'T EVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS!

Why would anyone say fish with cheese is bad? I love Tuna and cheese!

On AllRecipes I always thought Chef John's were basic and boring but in this forum getting to hear his peculiar way of speaking and sense of humor he sells it.

I can't tell what is better, your sense of cooking or your sense of humor.

Total control of your life / destiny would be useful with forks though! Looks great, just watching before heading to bed due to time difference and now I want a tuna melt!

As always your recipes never disappoint. We had this for dinner today - delicious!! 👏👏👏 Thank you Chef John. 😊

I don't know how anyone can thumb down these videos...tasty recipes, great video editing, and the nice, mellow narration...it's almost therapeutic

I've made this since I was a teenager in the 70s and your version is on tomorrow's menu! Thank you.

I've never seen a tuna melt that wasn't open faced and I don't really want to. Mozza in the tuna salad mix equals heaven.

I look forward to every “enjoy” at the end of the video.

Def be giving this a try, I lived off tuna cheese & tomato sandwiches for 6yrs or so while I was paying off my house lol

The extra seasonings that you include in your vocabulary make your videos as fun to watch as your recipes are to eat!

I just made one of these with a ciabatta roll and pickle instead of caper and I'm so fat and happy ! Thanks for the vids chef

I'd add a small amount of lemon juice or vinegar. You won't taste it, but it will cut the 'fishy taste' way down.

I made these sandwiches for dinner tonight and served them with Clausen pickles and Lay's Jalapeno chips. They were absolutely delicious and looked great too! Thank you Chef John.

I made your Caldo Verde soup tonight, Chef John! I had to use some freezer burned sweet italian turkey sausage, some nice andouille sausage, some semi-wilted kale, and frozen homemade turkey stock left over from two Thanksgivings ago, plus fresh potatoes and a nice onion. Sounds awful but actually it turned out to be delicious! Everyone ate lots and I used up the oldest items in my freezer, so THANK YOU! I will make this TUNA MELT for lunch tomorrow! Keep up the good work helping us feed our family!

Cheese and beer, combined with anything, is the most Wisconsin combination you can get.

I've had several beers. And I can say that looks great right now.

A quality Tuna melt recipe, one of the best I have seen. Only change I made was garlic and mayo to toast the bread. I can see why you a so popular with these no nonsense, quality ingredient recipes ❤‍🔥

I used sourdough bread and pickles instead of capers. It came out fantastic! Thanks Chef John.

Hey Chef John I make mine close to this but I use bread and butter pickles as my crunch to make it a touch sweet as well as dill and mustard. I as always enjoy your videos!

Your voice is amazing, also captivating

Fantastic recipe and so easy to make. Chef John, your videos have made a big difference in mine and my children's lives over the years. Thank you.

And I can tell you that you're not the only one! Never tried a recipe either but i just enjoy hearing his jokes and learn new stuffs about cooking! Thank you chef John!

I'm sure you've heard this 293843 times, but you sound JUST LIKE John Ratzenberger. SUCH a comforting voice! i watch your videos just because i like YOU. ....And because your food is delicious.. :)

This is the best food porn channel ever.

I've made these several times since I saw this video. I've really enjoyed the flavour and the portions of this dish. The celery and cheese are a great combo. Made it for some friends one time, they loved it and asked for a recipe.

i've been watching your videos for four years this is the first time i actually make something xD mistakes were made but it still came out delicious

One of the best sandwiches ever.

I swear this guy has such a bobs burgers antagonist voice. "Only the best tuna."

I love your videos because you don't have to add extra comments about the flavor notes like some chefs on tv and on here Thanks!

You’re the best Chef John!!! I love tuna melts so I’m definitely doing this one!!! 😁😋

Next time you make this, make sure you put sliced tomato on--you want to do this before you sprinkle the cheese. Then broil, you will yeah angels sing if you do; that's why I do it, but it tastes good with the tomato too!

Add a splash of chipotle tabasco or other chipotle hot sauce and this is just perfect

Chef John is the best at what he does! I would be wandering the kitchen lost if it wasn’t for him.

One of my favorite videos yet! Great job Chef John!

replace the capers with dill pickles and throw in some sriracha mayo for an amazing alternative.

I'm going to use the 2-fork method on my life :) Take that!

Chef John, I love your videos! I appreciate the recipes, and they're very relaxing when I'm having anxiety.

really loved this recipe! the mozzarella was a great touch and since i didn’t have any celery, i substituted zucchini. will definitely be making again.

I was 👌this close to quitting my fast.

I'm totally making this with dill pickle chips && boracho beans(:

Excellent, one of the best go-to recipes for an amazing crunchy quality Tuna Melt sandwich--a keeper. Bon Appetite!

I did this today for lunch, but I substituted crab for Tuna and used Old Bay for Cayenne and it was awesome. Chef John! You are da man!

Yay 🤓 Irish Cheddar is the best 👌🏼👍🏻👌🏼👌🏼 probably biased being Irish 🍀 😁

Chef John, how should I get total control of my life?

You're killing me again. Tuna melt is in my top 3 or 4 sandwiches, and you just upped my game.

hands down the best tuna melt I have seen and seriously planning on this for Friday night in front of the tv

The cayenne makes it kosher. That is what my rabbi told me.

"It doesn't look like cat food." He says... while in the process of shredding it with a fork producing a cat food-like appearance.

I think foodwishes is the only food chanel on youtube that is worth watching

Chef! I am addicted! This is by faaar the best tuna sandwich I've ever eaten! Thank you!

has anybody else noticed he drags the last syllable of every sentence?

Watching this during Ramadan and dying T_T

I like how this guy's sentences end with a kindergarten teacher like inflection. "Ok childrennnnn. Let's go outside for play timmmme. No biting pleassse" Very comforting and makes for an inviting cooking lesson.

Love your videos especially your splash of witty. Never change, chef!

y do I always watch cooking videos and want it when I don't have the ingredients??

Lol I was thinking "where the hell are the chips"?!

Tuna melts,one of my top pregnancy cravings! I like this recipe and especially like the capers. I must try this!

My favorite tuna that I learned from my Mum is white meat, definitely minced up with celery and green onions. My secret ingredient John is not chili sauce but a tsp. of HP sauce or worchie. Makes a huge difference.NO added salt but pepper of course or you can use white and light tuna. I like it packed in water. Have never added cheese to the mix except for sprinkled on the bread first before toasting or just on top. Try it! Love your show. Tks.

Thank God you did not say tuna fish. Why do people say that? Is there a kind of tuna that's not fish? Drives me nuts.

Had that at the Koolina Hotel for lunch with side of the best crispy potato wedges and a greed salad w/dressing and it was a hit...different strokes for different folks and respect everyone's choice to eat it how and when they want to...I enjoyed it. Make it for my family and they love it...thank you food wishes...now with Fukushima and spent depleted uranium in our atmosphere and oceans, we need to help clean it up, so we can eat fresh tuna instead of out of the can...although not picky, will eat it either way...I did not get sexually aroused by this sandwich...different strokes for different folks I guess, goes for that...Aloha.

Chef John, your videos and cheerful voice always make me a little happy.

I've made this recipe a few times and it is excellent. Today I had no tuna in the house. I did find a tin of Costco chicken. I added a touch of olive oil to the mix using the mayo, celery, onion, cheese and capers. The results were just as good only different. No one even commented when I served this up.

where can i find good looking bread like that? im so sick of orowheat and all those wimpy presliced stuff

Thanks Seth Rogen !

BEST. SANDWICH. EVER. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

I'll stick with my cheap cat-food Tuna

ur videos are great but ur high pitched end of sentences and how u sing ur words makes me lose focus smh

I made this last season on my grill, it was amazing. With the larger briskets coming out Im doing several again

your humor is as delicious as your creations. much love

Fantastic, chef John. Love it. Very much like I cook every day but extra ideas. Thanks.

This is such a delicious food! we made it twice and love it. Thank you Chef !

I wish my dad was still alive to make this for him. He made us tuna casserole often, he would have loved this. Hope my girls like this when I try it

Made this without the capers and it was fantastic and incredibly easy to make! :D Thanks Chef john, I have made over 10 recipes from your videos (which is pretty good since I don't usually cook non-asian food)

Looks really amazing! I really prefer the open-faced version for this particular sandwich--there's just a lot going on. IMHO, the addition of capers is a genius move, 'cause it imparts some complex brininess/nuttiness to it, contrasting with the mozzarella in the mix as well as the sharp cheddar on top. Thank you, Chef!
