4 Levels of Pulled Pork Sandwiches: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 08. 2021
- We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Jerry, home cook Kit, and professional chef Saul Montiel from Cantina Rooftop - to make us a tangy and tasty pulled pork sandwich. Once each level of chef had served up their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way - both good and bad. Which pulled pork is pulling your attention?

Level two chef: I used avocado oil because it’s a little less in calories.
Level three chef: I’m going to use five pounds of lard.
😂
Yeah, Saul isn't pulling any punches 😂
and thats why shes only a level 2
Thats how you put your heart in cooking. All of it
ha ha ha ha ha
I loved him so much! Ha
Literally everyone: "We want to keep our fingers, be careful"
Saul: "I'm going to close my eyes" hahaha
I love Saul so muchhhh hahaha
I mean.... I wouldn't say everyone. If you're using proper knife handling, you won't cut yourself even with eyes closed.
Saúl it's a absolute Chad no 🧢
he closed them so the onion wouldn't make his eyes tear up
U don't have to worry about me honey cause I don't want to touch u as long as I been on this earth
" I saw an old lady do this way so that's how I do it " And that's when you know Saul cooks from his soul
you know old latinas know how to cook when an 18 year professional chef changes his way of doing things just by seeing one do it
I need to see Frank and Saul cooking together - They are both great chefs and even nicer people! I reckon it would be 100% pure delight to watch them cook something epic together :)
I second this!
I'd like them to switch ingredients. And then taste each others food.
I love this idea. I kinda want to see them judge the other level 3 chefs. I still remember when Frank kinda rolled his eyes after hearing about the one level 3s sweet interpretation of Mac n Cheese and it made me so happy to see him essentially be like "yeah, you don't need to do that to prove you know how to cook."
Yes
Petition to add a panel of judges for a blind taste test. Also, we need more Saul content.
This needs to be a top comment
Exactly this!
I volunteer to be on the panel!!!
Comment to make this comment top
Yes sur we need this
Every time Saul cooks I’m dazzled by his personality
What personality? He's a robot with a Spanish accent.
@@ModernGamesSuck you're a white person with no personality at all so shut up
@@gk6387 I'm Spanish. I just chose this name out of a hat.
We need a Saul and Frank video !!
I am Spanish too and I think he's witty and has great sense of humour. He doesn't come off as forced or awkward in camera either. The accent only adds to it.
Jerry: “I don’t like that much spice”
Saul: “Only a Sith deals in low spice tolerance”
@TCG657 this comment is cancer
@TCG657 I think you need to find a way to cope with the unhappiness you have in your life 😂
My man Saul! I've talked with him a few times and almost got a job at the Rooftop Cantina, but getting in and out of NYC from NJ is more expensive than what I would have been making. Really awesome guy with a wonderful family. Solid to the core
Saul being the only one to toast his bread hurt.
Nothing wrong with that it keeps the bread from getting to soggy
@@nancymarin4603 yeah that’s what I’m saying, it should be toasted( in my opinion) and Saul’s the only one who did that . It hurt seeing that beautiful brioche bun neglected like that. /j
@@ashleigh6192 i know right
I know right ! /srs /j /lh /dream
@@hand__banana I love
*adds two peppercorns
“I’m a bit spice sensitive”
Saul: *sighs in Mexican
literally I laughed so hard. dude gets spiced out with just a little bit of pepper what 😭
yes, people have different spice tolerances. weird, isn't?
@@AndersonFerrara peppercorn bro, peppercorn.
@@nonstopqs4188 brooooo chill he is joking
@@artschool2213 maybe he is, it still made me laugh lol
Gotta admit, jerry made me chuckle. Just throw a bottle of sauce on the meat, chuck a little onion in there and let the machine do the rest.
chef Saul is HILARIOUS soooo entertaining every single episode he is in he continues to impress me not only with his amazing cheffing skills and techniques but with his humour too!! massive fan of his
Saul really needs his own show. He's got such a great personality and I'm sure the stories he could tell will work our abs like no other.
Saul: "what's better than pork?? ..... more pork! Lol
Shhh! The last time somebody said that We almost lost Frank! 🤐
@@mrclueuin *le gasp*
they should name it better call saul. oh wait
Better cook saul??
I never realize how much I miss Saul until I see him and think to myself “it’s been too long Saul. Too long.”
Hahaha! I feel the same
What happened to Saul?
Is Saul okay?
Kit seems so sweet! Has she been on other videos? If not, I definitely need more of her!!
Saul is amazing. Him and Frank are my favorite level 3 chefs.
“Try your ingredients, get to know your ingredients”. That was rather genuine and salud!!! 🍻😁😅
He was adding a little bit of beerness to the recipe...
I gotta embrace the ingredients!
I gotta sniff the ingredients!
I gotta lick the ingredients!
I gotta wash the ingredients!
I gotta date the ingredients!
I gotta BE the ingredients!
Saul has one of the best personalities
"Get to know your ingredients" - swigs the beer. Then proceeds to open a Coke with a massive knife. I love this guy!!
I made Kit's recipe today and it was ... absolutely mouthwatering!! Love the spiciness and tanginess and all the layers of flavor and texture 👏👏👏
And Kit appreciate’s your kind words be thrilled you tried it
the one comment not about saul 😭
wish she didn’t criticize just about everything that jerry did
Can we acknowledge the injustice in the fact that they edited out the moment Saul opened the Coke bottle with a chef’s knife! Major skills
Hahaha original!
I noticed that. It was also a Mexican Coke. It’s a narrower taller bottle and tastes much better than standard because I believe it has natural ingredients and cane sugar
At min 18:09 you’ll see him open the beer bottle with the knife
@@sebmitubeu Thanks!
Latin default skills baby
Ok so Saul’s winning this thing.
Well yeah duh he’s the the professional lol
He even drunk on camera, that’s a cool person.
Saul doesn't just win the cooking, he wins our hearts.
Level 1 literally just seasoned his raw meat with a “sprinkle” of pepper so it’s not spicy (???) and cheap bbq sauce, level 2 was good but still it’s Saul of course he’s gonna win
@@godisdead6611 she put that horseradish in and ruined her whole sandwich. I was so sad
Level 2 and Level 3 chef: *Intense lettuce and onion chopping to make coleslaw*
Level 1 chef: Alright imma just go and buy a premix
Didn't know Saúl existed, from now on I won't settle for less.
Finally a realistic level 1
Saul Has a Day of the dead 💀 on his chef jacket. That’s got to be a great sign
Damn didn't notice it till now!
That's the design/logo for his restaurant
@@minimila3 ohh no
@@minimila3 The name of Saúl's restaurant is called Cantina Rooftop
That’s called a sugar skull bro !
When Saul started cooking the peppers I eas like "This man is strong, he's not even coughing. He's got a grandmas lungs"
Kit: I like something with a little crunch.
Saul: *snaps*
"Find something that is crunchy from the outside and soft on the inside, like my heart."💖
A crunchy heart 😂
There should be a "youtube addict who doesn't cook that much" category. It would be fun to see someone who has about as much knowledge about food as a level 2 but less practical experience than a level 1.
Lmao me.
The time I spend watching video's about cooking is like 10x the amount of time I spend cooking 😂😂
This called me out
Hahahahaha literally me...mom tells me that if someone saw me watching that much of cooking and baking shows they would think I'm always making some in the kitchen.....i raaarely cook and I'm not proud of that....but the knowledge I've accumulated comes upfront when i RAAARELY COOK hhhhhhhhh
This level one "washed" her meat so I would say we're already there.
Crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. Like my heart.
I love Saul.
I’ve never been a huge fan of solo chef cooking shows (they don’t hold my attention) but I would 100% watch Saul’s cooking show. His cooking is gorgeous and he is hilarious & oh so talented.
And Kit is just a doll! This was just a fun bunch of chefs in general.
He has a beer and a soda to drink while cooking I would definitely hang out with Saul at a cookout lol
Me wondering why Saul seems so familiar (besides the videos ofc) and I realize now I have literally been to his restaurant and its right by me in NYC! Small world :)
What's the name of his restaurant I live in NYC as well
@@jordyjimenez1092 Cantina Rooftop, can I come crash for a weekend? lol jk
Omg I was gonna ask if anyone knew where his restaurant was because I need to eat this guys food it all looks so damn good
Tell him I love him please
Saúl's subtle, dry humor has made my day! He is the best!
Must be because the three chefs are super friendly, but this has to be one if not the episode I enjoyed the most. Thank you all :)
Saul = favorite chef alongside Frank
I love how most of sauls recepis come from his family
I'm amazed by how casually he goes for the knife to open the cola 🤣
Saul opening that bottle of cola with a knife was level 99
"I'm going to use 5 pounds of lard"
I've never heard something so enticing in all of these videos.
kit: always go slow bc we want to keep our fingers
saul: im going to close my eyes
Crunchy from the outside...soft in the inside 😭like my heart..I love that
I would not be surprised if Saul pulls the trick where he pretends to slice his finger on his new students in culinary school on their first day just to screw with them
SAUCE:
Jump cut of Level 1 making sauce
Jump cut of Level 2 making sauce
Jump cut of Saul drinking beer 🍻 🤣🤣🤣
Love the "real" level 1 chef---mayo based cole slaw using cole slaw package and pulled pork uses barbeque sauce out of jar. Level 2 chef is great--but "I'm using avocado oil because it's less calories" Okaaay. I love the sandwich and the one I'd most like to eat. And Saul is a gem of course. Nice combo of chefs and interaction is so nice.
I thought the level 2 chefs samdwich could rival sauls. Both were very entertaining to watch too
Really the benefit of using avocado oil it has a very high smoke point so you can get the pan really hot and don't worry about burning the oil
What you don’t like her just because she prefers avocado oil? Oh no what a monster
@@godisdead6611 No, it's because what she said is just wrong: avocado oil has as many calories as any other oil. Also she doesn't seem very good, Lorenzo is way better at cooking even though they should be at the same level
@@godisdead6611 very important to save those 10-20 calories in comfort food! (besides from the fact that isn't the biggest advantage of avocado oil)
Saul is my fav chef on this show,
more of him please, thank you.
Idk when but I can only hope Emily and Saul will grace my screen in the same episode
PLEASE THEY ARE EVERYTHING TO ME
i love that this level 3 chef wasnt afraid to use basic ingredients like soda
He used the good coca cola too.
Que viva la coca cola !
Chef Saul is slowly becoming my fav lvl 3 chef. Sorry Chef Frank
Saul is like a mixture of Frank + Lorenzo
Frank is busy raising his own pigs to make pulled pork one day, he had to sit this one out
A torta ahogada… Man! I sure as hell do miss that! The sauce can be spicy or not, you can tell the man “drowning” the sandwich if you want it spicy or not, so children can enjoy it too!
Saul putting beer in his dish and drinking it "try your ingredients" : Cheers! HAHAHAHA
What’s better than pork?
More pork
-Professional Chef Saul
When he said "more pork" I thought he was referencing the three cooks themselves 🤣
Hahahaha
I knew he was kidding when he "cut himself" but still got jump scared by the scream
Yes Kit!! I need to make your recipe!
Saul, love that man. Hard from the outside, and soft from the inside, like my heart.
Frank couldn't make it because he is still raising his pigs
Yes ofc
@Joshua McKay you sound like a fun person
@@pacc9116 joshua is right it is an overused joke and I’ve seen this comment 3 times on this video already it doesn’t make him not a fun guy
@Joshua McKay in your opinion
@@pacc9116yeah your right, people can see it fun in their own in someways.
i will never ever get tired of chef saul
Loving Jerry and Kit! Both so charming and likable.
I love that Saul is becoming a regular.
I find it funny how Saul had to explain the lemon situation 😂🤣
can we get all the chefs in one series? just them creating any dishes lol
them drunk asf just vibing, maybe burning something >>>
I can't remember what video it was but a year or two back they had a video where they asked everyone who ever was on the channel for this series a bunch of questions and "How would you do x" type tests and cut it all together, it was interesting to see who didn't know what was being asked of them (not knowing which tool was which or which to use for instance).
"I like something with a bit of crunch" and then the instant cut to Saul breaking a giant chicharron. lol!
"Touch the meat, FEEL THE MEAT!" Yes ma'am, ON IT!!
I usually don't like the level 3's, but Saul is a mood LMAO
Is this a food show or a sitcom? Every chef was so funny and likable! All 3 chef's food looks good too!
Not surprised to see the Saul love, he had me smiling from ear to ear..
Can we get more Saul please, this man is a gift.
Honestly, this is kinda the first time, all the three levels did follow different procedures.
Sometimes the diff bw lv 2 and lv3 is technique and aesthetic.
Not this time eh?
Someone needs to tell Kit that to sear meat, the pan has to be super hot to start with. Also, as someone who lived in Tulsa Oklahoma, no decent food comes from Tulsa. It comes from people who already know how to cook when they move to Tulsa.
Yep that was a bit worrisome
It wasn’t even seared at the end of it🤣 I was like…okay so it’s grey…
Saúl needs to be on a food network cooking challenge show. He’d be so good
Saul deserves EVERYTHING i stan one man.
I like how she said she browned her meat when it's the greyest thing I've seen
Pan wasn't hot. Unacceptable!!
She was horrible. Horseradish sauce, gray meat, very little salt. And to boot you don't wash meat. That's what caused bacteria
Facts
All three of them are so fun
Saul is my favorite chef. He needs his own segment. Dude is funny and everything he makes looks incredible
Saul is the best thing to ever happen in quarantine
Kit is my spirit animal. However, Saul is always my fave
Saul love him, my best #3 chef he’s funny and very knowledgeable.
Rose 🌹 😍❤️
We need a face off between saul and frank. Imagine they're having a cook off on a cliff near an ocean.
13:41 this man is GOATED 🤣 "like my heart"
Collaboration of Frank and Saul please. They are so cheerful
Saul absolutely ROCKS! I learned by listening to him, and was massively entertained while it happened....
I almost never enjoy the Level 3 chefs, but Saul was exactly what the doctor ordered. We need to see more of him....
Torta ahogada , mmmm veo que saul es un hombre de cultura
Saul has an amazing personality and I love both him and his mother in law.
saul comin' in hard with those dad jokes.
Saúl Is an international treasure: PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS!!
i love how the comments are flooded about Saul . it warms my heart 🥺💓
Just gonna say, in this particular episode, all three chefs were next-level. There was nothing here that didn't look absolutely scrumptious!
Other than Saul... I don't think you understand how real pulled pork should actually be done then
I love each and literally everyone of your cooks on this show. Whenever someone new enters it, I kind of (unconciously) look if they "fit" in. And - oh boy - you guys have a good eye for people. I loooove Kit so much, she is so amazing. Please please please give her some more episodes! Amazing woman, amazing cook! Greetings from germany to best cooking show in the world ♥
I still can’t get over her name being Rosemary Trout.
So happy to keep seeing Saul in these videos:)
Every time I watch these videos and I see either level 2 chef Julie or Level 3 chef Saul, I'm hooked. They're so entertaining 😊
Kit is basically the female version of Lorenzo.
Love both of them!
Lorenzo wouldn't use avocado oil "because less calories".
@@ErebosGR true
Nah Kit isnt insufferably annoying. She's much more endearing
@@fuzzysham88 imo Kit is a little too over exaggerated
Saul is the man! :D Jerry is doing a good job of what we all do, Kit is trying so hard to make a pork for Nobel, but Saul just chills, throws stuff cut in half into pots, yet knows exactly what to do :D
First time witnessing this legend that is Saul and holy moly he’s a riot. I couldn’t stop laughing and enjoying this episode 🤣🤣
You can use Spanish onion, leftover onion... Saul you're the funniest!
I think this is the first time I've seen a Level 3 Chef's recipe and thought, "I HAVE to make that". It looks sooo good
I've been feeling sad and watching this episode, especially watching Saúl cook definitely put a smile on my face. I 💜 this series!
Saul! ❤️ He's great, I'd be honoured to taste his cooking!
I totally believe the chef Saul when he says the rest will be his lunch. He looks like he can eat, and he said it with such delight.
