I just want to let you know that everytime you said "a tablespoon" you added approximately 4 tablespoons of ingredients. The sign of a true gourmand
Fun fact: any spoon that you find on a table is a tablespoon
@Eye yesssss
"add ~2~ shots of vodka" - he's truly a prodigy of the master
My chemistry teacher used to call it "bucket science" whenever we used approximate amounts of chemicals instead of measured amounts.
I'm trying to make "bucket cooking" a household phrase.
@@tortus333 when i first started working in kitchens i would ask things like "how much of that do you use" or "how long does that cook for" and my boss got increasingly annoyed at me every time lol. "enough for it to taste good", and "until it's done" were always the answers. i miss that lady very much, she taught me a lot lol
you *could* say "i was eating lunch meat and shredded cheese out of the fridge at 3am" OR "last night i enjoyed some late-night charcuterie". the choice is yours
Put the cheese in the lunch meat, add some mustard, then roll it up, and now you have some *_new wave sushi._*
Thanks, Cap. Price
You mean "early morning"
Dr. Oz moment
Before the sun arose, I enjoyed charcuterie in my own presence
"Congrats, you're ramen now" is my version of your pizza restoration. In a boiling pot with instant noodles and an egg, everything (even soup) can become ramen.
Boiling noodles in soup? That's... that's brilliant. The starch from the noodles will enhance the soup's texture, and the soup will flavor the noodles!
pizza
Bread in it…
*turns soup into a pizza and then turns the pizza into ramen*
Chicken ramen prepped as normal (siphon off broth with the lip of the cooking vessel so you don't need a colander)+Thai Sweet Chili sauce+ Chicken Nuggets. Sweet Chili Chicken ramen.
As someone who cooks for a living, thank you for eating something probably overpriced and thought "I could just do this at home." You raise the standard for the industry.
I think that... every time I eat outside my house
The bastard will make my salary drop again. Industry is survival simulator for most, and he's raising standarts! The gall!
WOW Thank you for introducing my channel :)
I will try to cook more interesting things 🔥감사합니다!!
It sounds like you are a leader in this field!
당신의 채널이 너무 좋아요! 당신처럼 잘 할 수 있도록 노력할게요. 고맙습니다!!
I just watched one of your videos... it's like a champion driver narrowly avoiding crashes at every turn. Truly magnificent
Just watched both this video and your channel, no longer wasting money on take out when I have so much to use in my house already! Thank you for the inspiration!
For the lazy and non-Korean, BDG's comment translated by google: "I love your channel! I will try to do well like you. Thank you!!"
I appreciate Jeremy for never listening to BDG's requests for cuts. Jeremy just doin' cuts that feel right, like a midnight editour.

In addition, I appreciate BDG desperately and repeatedly screaming for those cuts and edits, as though the edit is happening live in the room.

I like how he makes the weirdest "pizza" from junk and points out spam as one of his staples but also has home made kimchi jigae in the fridge.
miidniiiiiiiiiight gooouuuuurrrrrrmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaannnnnnd
I mean... His partner is Korean, and every single Korean person i know has some variant of kimchi in their fridge.
Also: in these ten months I discovered ancient forbidden knowledge: THE DEPRESSION TRAY! You put easily edible things in the tray and then when you're hungry, you just eat from there.
all my groceries are Depression Foodᵀᴹ fr fr
It’s been fun watching BDG’s look go from “scared substitute on his first day” to “that man in the neighborhood who’s everyone’s uncle basically-the fun uncle your parents don’t totally trust”
Sometimes I feel I'm that uncle
He really went through at least 3 separate lives since unraveled started. Substitute, 70s dad, now the dealer from pulp fiction...
@Eye I physically recoiled at ya boi pouring a pip into the sauce.... czcams.com/video/Zw00bKa5P-k/video.html
so much effort was expended only to completely throw it in the home stretch
He’s rapidly approaching a “hipster jesus” look, no?
i honestly thought he was cosplaying as a bee gees member
Brian does a worryingly decent Hozier look

I detest how correct u are
the handsome and smart edit is what hit it for me
Our household has recently gotten into "Lao Gan Ma-chos" - nachos made with cheddar and mozzarella, healthy scoops of fried chili crisp, and fresh green onions. It rules.
Oh my god that sounds incredible
That sounds amazing
Another important rule is "definitely won't set the fire alarm off" I forgot this one while frying an onion at 2 AM yesterday and probably pissed my neighbors off.
my college Midnight Gourmand experiences taught me 2 things so far
1. any sauce can become an aioli if you're bored enough
2. making fried rice should qualify as a kind of alchemy
I felt that fried rice statement lmaooo
Fried rice is like 5% of my being. It doesn't even feel like a joke to say that.
The anything aioli pairs perfectly with an anything sandwhich
I pour my soul into fried rice. It adds a nice flavor.
I’ve found that with enough determination, any sauce is pasta sauce if you put it on pasta.
Watching BDG's videos is like watching someone manifest my ADHD into the physical world
Wouldn't/shouldn't you be the physical manifestation of your ADHD? The body is just a meat shell for the mind after all. 🤔
@@noonie6872nah, I like to say that my adhd makes it so my mind, my body, and my consciousness are three separate entities inhabiting the same physical form.
@@dylansickinger545 And sometimes, only sometimes, they're in sync. And the only thing they do when they're in sync is scream.
I'm a daywalker gourmand - my midnight gourmand energy goes to my breakfasts.
However, rather than make it a pizza (which I may start doing now), I make it an omelette.
instant noodles? Cook it up, cake it in egg, then fry that. Leftover stew? Egg it, omel it. Leftover rice tends to make the best omelette material. You can even salvage over-spiced food by making it into an omelette, since it softens the spice.
Omel-it is an incredibly powerful verb phrase
Chip omelette is god tier 10/10 Tanzanian Stree food
Ah yes, the mid morning gourmand
leftover french fry omelette is my fav version of this
Tomorrow morning, by your inspiration, I will omel the hell out of it
3:04 Karen admitting she saw Brian eat the whole thing implies that not once did she ever try to convince him to stop
There is also the possiblity that maybe she tried to convince him to stop but couldn't
there's also the possibility that she was on board with it the entire time.
There's also the possibility she tried it
I don't think that's how they works
There's also the possibility BDG begged to stop and Karen held him accountable.
"No. You will eat it.*
BDG in his pepcorn video: I'm probably never gonna do another cooking video.
Also BDG: *makes like five more cooking videos and will likely make even more*
this is my favorite bdg content
I truly hope he does.
Honestly, I think he's got a fantastic Chef persona! Let's hope to more cookin' vidz.
BDG is 2020: The only food video I'm qualified to make is about making special popcorn, I'll probably never do another one.
BDG now: I AM A MIDNIGHT GOURMAND! EVERYTHING CAN BE A PIZZA!!!
Not even kidding, this inspired me to push myself in the kitchen and I've been stepping my game up for the past week, so thank you, Horses Trident.
More specifically, getting creative with leftovers. A veggie rice bowl had extra rice, so I made chicken wings and fried rice. Leftover wings made a chicken stock for a bolognese. A chain reaction of great dinners made with leftovers. So for real, thanks!
@BensRightBrain that's awesome and inspirational!
Maybe it's the millennial in me, but this feels like slightly higher effort than a good ol fashioned "depression meal" and you know what, I am HERE for it
Honestly my family regularly eats the depression-era recipe my grandmother used. They are simple, cheap, few ingredients that make a lot. A few pounds of ground meat, an onion, tomato sauce, and any salt and pepper you want will make a big pot of moist taco meat. Put in more tomato sauce and you've got a meat sauce for spaghetti. Stick it in a corn tortilla and pour red sauce over it plus some cheese, you've got an enchilada. Super versatile base recipe.
as a recent college graduate a lot of these hit a liiitle close to home, especially the Mixture of a Thousand Sauces Because That's All That's in My Fridge(tm) 😅
The only difference between a depression meal and a midnight gourmand experience is Vision
Brian: “rice, egg, and spam”
Me: “that’s literally musubi”
Brian: “we’re making musubi”
Me: *validated smile*
@Eye no one enjoys your company
Im sorry you had that, jack werner . . .
The egg isn't necessary for it to be musubi, but certainly doesn't detract. I see it pretty often at convenience stores with their breakfast stuff.
I love musubi so much
As a vegetarian, if you just replace spam with tofu and add some soy sauce, the triumvirate works just as well!
THANK YOU I was wondering how to substitute it
I just want to say that the bit in the kitchen where it goes all cramped and chaotic really spoke to me and my partners as what it looks like when we get overwhelmed. We check in with each other now by asking "wrong rice?" so thank you so much for that genuinely helpful shorthand
The fact that brian is both embracing Karen's cultural food and learning Korean fills me with joy.
Every time he does something funny he looks over at Karen to see how she reacts...
Why
@@mrpengoat because people being kind of each other makes them happy, i dunno why this is weird lol.
There's some pics on his Instagram from a while back where they went to Korea together and Karen wanted to rent hanboks and Brian "didn't want to look like a disrespectful tourist" so Karen stood in the background of his photos and gave a thumbs up for him
parasocial weirdo
Jeremy did an incredible job, give him a gentle gourmand kiss for being a great editor
Yo, if you want to, you could you get your clown on!
He really did!
His channel is also hilarious
"Midnight gourmand" sounds a whole lot better than "i'm high and want an indulgent snack". Thank you, Brian!
Brian with beard actually seems chill asf, like i wanna just hang out with him and make gross lemon-mint soup
I like how BDG’s journey went from 12 year old child, to father, to Victorian scholar, to 1960s radio show host, to 80’s workout leader, to actor lookalike you found in the middle of the Amazon rainforest who seems to have time traveled but is denying it as much as possible.
the fact that Brian is learning Korean and he just got engaged with Karen is so sweet
me, not knowing they were together: 👁👄👁
but honestly so happy for them!!! though man do i have to play some catch-up!!!!! 💖
I didn't knew they were engaged, that's wonderful
Wow, they're such good friends.
@@Chazbc the irony that I did literally think they were roommates x.x
@@evalineblair4034 “and they were roommates!”
So all these years of me slapping together random crap from my fridge at 2 in the morning wasn't me being a filthy little goblin, but instead I was a MIDNIGHT GOURMAND. Thank you for this correction
For thousands of years humanity was forced to midnight gourmand in darkness or candlelight, with minimal spices. We are truly enjoying the golden age of the midnight snack.
Midnight Gourmand sounds like fancy depression meals but is actually very good to use up leftovers
"Midnight gourmand" is such a positive spin on what dinner looks like for me when I'm depressed. This was unsettlingly relatable, I feel like I looked too far behind the curtain somehow. Like I was seeing how others see me when I'm high. Minus stuff like cracking eggs into my mouth, I hope you're not doing that when the cameras aren't rolling 😛
yeah! this video helped me realize that dinner doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to feed you. im going to college soon and im gonna have to feed myself so im saving this video for future reference.
The best thing i ever learned is that im not required to “make” something. if i want to eat two slices of bread and handfuls of sandwich insides I dont have to assemble it
Between pepcorn, ice creams, cookies, and now this, this really has become a full fledged cooking channel huh
Wouldn’t have it any other way
I'm planning on doing the sesame icecream soon, so I can't complain either
he's giving the people what they want
It's the one cooing channel where I can really follow the recipes.
A late night classic is “spice rice” buttered leftover rice, garlic powder, cumin, s&p… if you really wanna take it up another notch add chicken broth powder (like the kind from ramen) and a few glugs of teriyaki sauce
I actually loved the dramatic reenactment of the lemon-peppermint conundrum, thanks BDG
BDG's pizzamagedon has the same chaotic energy as my dad taking literally every leftover in the fridge, frying them together in the pan, and saying "don't worry, I'm just making bubble and squeak"
Ok but is he wrong tho
bubble and squeak?
@@steegen101 British food
@@Scorpio7500 Not at *all*. I'm always the one joining him and getting side eye from the rest of the family 😂
The “don’t worry” is what’s really makes this
Karen is so enthusiastic and supportive to everything he does and it’s so sweet
did you see that they got engaged???? it's always so lovely when two silly people find eachother and get to be silly together
@@babyleafsaladd5322 that's awesome for them! i had been wondering about the nature of their relationship, I didn't know if they were a couple or just friends/collaborators/roommates
@@hannahbowman259 Me too. Really happy for them. They're a perfectly chaotic duo.
a shame about the laptop though
@@legatelaurie what's a laptop?
Cucumbers with your decadent sauce has pretty much become my go-to snack since I saw this last month. Literally make it like every other day.
Going from "My Weird Ice Creams" to this is hilarious. He either went insane or achieved enlightenment.
brian is very correct in his assumption that a lot of college students would be watching this. thank you for your food advice so i don't starve
Yeah this is a legit godsend and reinforces my fuck it we ball actitude towards cooking
I was at first like "Ha! I finished college 5 years ago! You're wrong Brian" and then I remembered I actually got back to school two years ago and now I feel stupid
Literally watched this while making a strange little college student pasta with all my leftovers
Literally avoiding the last of my work as I watch this
I literally finished college today but I still really needed this 😂
In my mind Brian still only has 200k subs, and I'm constantly surprised he has the audacity to be original after all these years
Right?! He should be doing cringey skits with minor celebrities in a studio kitchen somewhere.
I was so thrown by this comment I had to go check his subscriber count. Wow.
@@Sednethal I know right? I've followed him since the polygon days, and I didn't realize he had grown so much
Thanks for the reminder. I didn't realise I wasn't subscribed yet.
My go-to midnight snack would be a "lazy pokè bowl". All you need is sushi/any sticky rice, smoked salmon (preferably the pack from Costco since it's cheaper, mayo, and siracha. You take 1 1/2 parts of mayo to 1 part of siracha to make the spicy mayo. All you do now is assemble it together. If you want to be a bit fancier then you can make it into onigiri and store it in the fridge for later. The best part about this is that you can put anything in it such as kimchi, canned tuna, egg, etc. Similar to bibimbap, any leftover side dishes; throw that shit in there! I hope this is enough to qualify me as a midnight gourmand!!!
1:47 The scream after this internal conversation is the most real thing on youtube I've seen in a long time.
How I became a Midnight Gourmont was the classic 'What's in the fridge' borrito. Where you combine any number of items imminently visible in a tortia, oil it, air fry it, enjoy it.
I do this but with pita bread. Just throw it in the toaster, cut open one side of it, dump every edible thing in the fridge into it, monch
I do this with pasta, you take whatever pasta you have in the fridge, any sauce you've got lying around, cheese and whatever meat you have, can be bacon, can be chicken, can be shredded ham, voila, midnight carbonara.
@@Xael2nd Ladies, gentlemen and others, I believe what we have discovered here is that if you take a starchy substance, and add pretty much any kind of fatty things and any kind of sauce, it's probably gonna be pretty good
Damn literally just commented the same thing. The number of times I have turned leftovers into a prize winning burrito is astounding.
I cherish any and all BDG video but the cooking ones are particularly nice
i really like them since it makes some things feel a lot more platable to me, as someone who has a lot of issues with food because i'm autistic
rice*
The cooking videos are particularly … He Nice
I love cooking but never have the energy so these are life blood for me
he nice
Watched this with my wife. She hasn't been sold on your content in the past, but she really enjoyed this one and was ready to give you another chance.
And then the egg.
10/10
Brian declaring "I should use tools" while wielding an air fryer basket containing a chicken korma pizza(?) reeks of something ancient and primal. I love it.
I love "Jeremy, make me handsome" and then Jeremy's edit makes him look like a "we have Hozier at home" version of the Irish lad
I thought it was literally just Handsome Squidward’s bone structure used as a template ahaha
Jeremy turned this boi into a man in desperate need of one's strongest potions
@@qwitchyy😊
One variation on the pizza rule is if you have no sauce, and you have chips instead of bread, you can make nachos. You can turn almost every kind of leftover into nachos, especially if you keep nacho seasonings around like onion powder, garlic powder, chili/chipotle powder, paprika, cumin, and cayenne powder
If you're high, plz sit down before you continue reading....
You can make pizza nachos. You can also make nacho pizza.
Beautiful addition to this video, thank you
this is my version of meal prep for the week. I prep a variety of ingredients that could go on nachos, burrito, sandwich, tacos, etc. It's surprising how many dishes can basically have the same 5 or so ingredients. Then all I have to do is toss some stuff together, maybe heat it up, presto! i'm eating something tasty.
I feel like a corollary of this rule is that leftover soup can be turned into a pancake-thicken with flour and/or another starch and fry in a pan. I’ve done it w leftover kimchi soup to make kimchi pancakes. I feel like it would probably work with other soups, although I’ve never tried lol.
The rules I live by are that any leftover can get into an omelette and anything can be fried rice.
7:48 I do a very similar dance whenever I cook. Essential for Midnight Gourmands.
This video inspired me to make a pizza out of leftover carnitas, ranch, sriracha, and cheddar cheese on a tortilla.
It was, indeed, a pizza.
I cannot explain how happy I am that these videos are regularly 15+ minutes now (the shorter ones are also great, but the more bdg the better, ya know?)
@beyond your imagination why did I think the pfp was jerma
@@owenmeier sadly its brett cooper, who is infinitely less interesting
I was once like you. Espousing hubris towards the pizza gods. At first I thought I was free from the rigid crust of society. No longer bounded by a pan or stretched so thin I cracked.
But, little did I know that the beauty in front of me was nothing more than a cheap siren's song. Now I know how quick that beauty turns into nightmare. For you see, when you put pizza on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime.
"When everything is a pizza... nothing is."
@@AbramDemski "Pizza" is merely a label. But when the same label is applied to everything, what good is it?
I'm gonna need a dramatic narration voiceover of this.
And if you can have pizza any time, you will.
But pizza bagels are a real thing. You can get them frozen at a grocery store
For a healthy lunch/snack, cut an avacado into slices, put it over some hot rice, and top it with peanut sauce and peanuts. That’s it. You can switch out the peanut sauce and peanuts for spicy mayo and Panko flakes if you want a lil kick.
Thank you, Jeremy. Some of the biggest laughs I had were wild edits like the confetti.
I have so many things to share because my household has accidentally made a culture out of Midnight Snacks. First off, any meal past midnight that has more than one course to it is what we call "The Dark Feast" in our household. We have a holiday in our house called "Gooben Knoct" or "Goblin Night". A holiday that falls on a different random night every year and you celebrate it by eating a feast of snacks you find in your fridge (like shredded cheese from the bag) and you eat them while sitting on your kitchen floor with your housemates. Channeling Goblin Energy!
And Finally welcome to the "anything food either a soup or a salad" philosophy. A debate that goes beyond "is a taco a sandwich". A pizza is just a salad in an organized order. Happy Snacking!
I LOVE the idea of Gooben Knoct omg, that’s so fun!!
Why cant my family be that both functional and goblin-like.
thank you, fellow goblin, for sharing your wisdoms
This is amazing, I love this!
The Dark Feast...I love that!! Brilliant!!
On behalf of the Italian people I deem this pizza cooking acceptable under the rules of the midnight gourmand and, on a personal note, commend you for your efforts in soup pizzafication. Bravo!
Yes, it is acceptable as long as the Italian pizza gods are asleep.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 They haven't been the same since they lost the war to keep tomatoes off of pizza. I mean, they were _really_ routed.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 and that’s why you do it on midnight
@@41-Haiku I do hate tomato on pizza
I would further posit that Brian's bold exploration in pizza-craft harkens to the beginnings of pizza, when in the Aeneid Virgil described possibly the first pizza - a flatbread with fruits piled on top:
Aeneas, handsome Iulus, and the foremost leaders,
settled their limbs under the branches of a tall tree,
and spread a meal: they set wheat cakes for a base
under the food (as Jupiter himself inspired them)
and added wild fruits to these tables of Ceres.
When the poor fare drove them to set their teeth
into the thin discs, the rest being eaten, and to break
the fateful circles of bread boldly with hands and jaws,
not sparing the quartered cakes, Iulus, jokingly,
said no more than: ‘Ha! Are we eating the tables too?’
pizza was originally recognised as a food for peasants so putting random shit that you already have together so that you don't have to buy more is oddly paying tribute to its origins
This inspired me to marinate some marbled steak at around 8-9, where I waited a bit before cooking it in a skillet, having shin black ramen, mushrooms, and bell peppers. I would’ve made an egg but I had 2 beers and forgot cause I was quoting kiryu from Yakuza 0, making me quite distracted.
Ramen + whatever hodpoodge of sauces and vegetables and leftovers you have = perfection.
Everything is a pizza and everything is noodles.
Ok mood actually, noodles are ridiculously versatile and a lot of my lunches are basically just fucked up noodles.
Ramen with a couple slices of individually wrapped cheese and a quarter cup of salsa. The cheese melts so well, it incorporates perfectly into the broth.
you can also poach an egg into ramen, it's easier than you'd expect and delicious. Egg, cheese, a pat of butter, some green onion, and you're in business
“Hamburger Soup”
Ramen + hamburger seasoning + crackers
This! I was literally coming into the comments to say the same thing, ramen noodles combined with almost anything you've got on hand is always gonna be a banging midnight meal
There are currently 4,759 comments, but I want someone to know that I made butter chicken pizza with leftover butter chicken and it was incredible. I had butter chicken pizza at a buffet years ago, and I remember it being pretty good, so I had been thinking about pizzafying my leftovers. When I saw Brian making his pizzas with (what I believe to be) the same Costco naan and mozz that I have at my house, it felt like the gentle hand of fate pulling back the curtain of time to show me my future. It opened the curtain, and I stepped through.
pizzafying leftovers is the secret key to everything
The curtain was delicately pulled back by BDGs hair clips.
Does that make the curtain of time bdg's hair? Because that... feels right.
You know as soon as I saw that part of the vid I was thinking....hey, I have some homemmade butter sauce in the freezer that I have no plans for...
@@LunarRocketeer let us know how it goes!
god everything brian comes out with is a banger. food? horror? music? who else can do it all and with such incredible vibes
this is late comment but listen. chicken nuggets, mac n cheese, shredded cheese of choice, and a zesty little buffalo ranch chipotle sauce to taste; wrap it in a tortilla, air fry for like 2-3 minutes? golden
The dawning realization of making garlic bread from just toasting bread, butter, and crushed garlic. Thank you, O wise Midnight Gourmand
I do this all the time, sprinkle some Italian seasoning on top and it’s divine
add some parm and mozzarella on that and you’ve made yourself garlic bread pizza, S tier midnight snack
Bonus points: Use garlic naan bread as the base and add parmesan cheese.
two 3-ingredient recipes that will unlock feelings of joy you never knew you had:
1. sourdough bread. butter. crushed garlic. _use broil setting on toaster oven until it begins to brown._
2. sourdough bread. ranch dressing. the sharpest cheddar you can get your hands on. broil in toaster oven until cheese is melted and bubbly.
bonus: spread Nutella on a warm, toasted English muffin. pretty dang good
You can really feel the love in this video--the love of food, the love of education, and the love of giving your editor absolutely golden raw footage with which to forge a truly magnificent video. Well done Brian, well done Jeremy!
Karen, well, you need to step it up a bit.
The love of gochujang.
and well done Karen!
my go to is a boiled brick of ramen, dump out all the water, no seasoning packet, and put peanuts and sweet chili sauce on the noodles. boom, super easy, got texture, spice and sweetness. so yummy
Every funny long haired CZcamsr eventually becomes brutal moose. I'm so glad BDG has made the transition! Love the content.
i was thinking that!

Shout out to Jeremy Nativebirds for going absolutely HAM on this video
I was just about to make a similar comment! Man am I impressed with the editing in this video. So much, that I didn't even think it was edited by someone else until halfway through, when he mentioned Jeremy, and I looked at the description.
It's almost identical to how Brian edits videos himself, but I'd say it might even be a bit better. Like there were so many gags that were enhanced from the editing. Hope to see Jeremy editing more on this channel, even though I love Brian's style too.
more like going SPAM on this video eyyyyyyy
The "play that funky music" bit really solidified the relatability of this video's vibe. I too have sung that song while running around, feral in the night, collecting food to eat. Dancing as well.
As a college student, thank you so much Brian!!! Unfortunately I am out of cheese and have nothing but pasta and rice. But I'm sure I can get midnight gourmand-ing with those!
Those lemon peppermint-stick things are so darn good, if you haven’t had one you’re missing out. Heaven on earth, those were my childhood
Jeremy didn't gave to go so hard with the spam in oven animation but I appreciate him so much for it
(Drawfee voice) Jeremy... is this Blender?
20:21 I audibly gasped and said "BRIAN" as if I were his mother watching this
that’s not brian, that’s his alter ego Sal Manella. he loves eggs :]
Me too!!! XD I was just like "don't do that!" >;0
ik US eggs have to be refrigerated but can you also not eat them raw?
@@mollymauktealeaf It's not as bad as it used to be, but there is still a reasonable salmonella risk from raw eggs in north america. People still do it though.
@@Roswend It's okay, he's got health insurance lol
"everything needs a little garlic" is one of my only mantras
I was like “what could the triumvirate of endless possibilities contain” and then it was rice, eggs and spam and I was like yeah that makes sense. That’s the kind of stuff we take with us on scouting camps and it’s always pretty good
(We’re usually limited to spam and dry salami in terms of meat since we can’t/aren’t allowed to take things that need to be refrigerated with us (for the Americans - I’m Dutch, we can keep our eggs non-refrigerated). We need to cook on actual woodfire too (at least during our biggest camp each year) so rice is always useful and easy to do, and eggs are also relatively easy)
I adore the idea of becoming a midnight gourmand. I just made some fried rice at 1am and I have never felt so decadent. Thank you for your wisdom Brian David Gilbert
In college I made "fried eggy ramen" and it was a hit for my roomies that woke up to the smell at 2am lol! Just cook some instant ramen, then drain, and add in some soy, teriyaki, ginger, and a touch of honey. crack an egg or three in there, salt, pepper, garlic, and agitate it while frying. it creats a crispy, savory, eggy coating on the noodles and tastes really good! A nice change from fancied up soup ramen
ooooo I will absolutely be trying this
oh wow we have the same braincells. i've done this too
Instant ramen is a type of magic.
I made a delicious dip recently (yogurt, lime, garlic, salt, unidentified Japanese spicy paste) to be enjoyed with cucumber as a direct result of watching this video, and my life has been officially transformed. The flavor! The experience!! And it was healthy?? Truly one of the greatest late night snacks I've made, 11/10 gourmanding
my current favourite midnight gourmand snacky snack is a giant tub of Chobani yogurt mixed with as many chia seeds, honey roasted cashews, (insert fruit treat like strawberry or banana), and raisins as you can mix in, put it in a Special Bowl/Dish, mine is a palm sized oyster shell, and going to TOWN with a side of cucumber to dip it. yes i also eat it for breakfast. splendid source of protein and you only need a knife and maybe a spoon if you don’t want to get your knife all yogurty. 13/10

8:45 i hold the inexorable belief that no human being with a beating heart can resist the primal impulse to do a little dance to the rice cooker song
I think the rice cooker song is some kind of secret hypnotic message that Zojirushi uses in its plan for domination of all the rice in the world.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721you guys know it’s the alphabet song right? Or twinkle twinkle little star? The nursery rhymes? Every single kid learns them? (At least in the UK)
@@lucasrobin2788 we all know. doesn't matter. we must dance!
I'm sad because all mine does is shriek really loudly at the start and finish. One day I gotta get a fancy machine that'll do a little song for me.
Karen is the best straight man archetype in these videos. I hope Karen will always be present ❤️ love yall
Oh how far we've come from pepcorn. So glad you continued to make cooking videos. This, and all the rest of them, are things I genuinely would cook, instead of just watching and then eating ramen.
It’s very BDG that the reveal of him apparently always being able to grow a beard like this comes during like his 7th radically different Bowie-esque incarnation
An English muffin, tteokbokki, and a slice of American cheese has to be the most deranged food combo I have heard of in my life. Literally the Frankenstein's Monster of food. You're a madman BDG, your wax wings have taken you too high. I would also like to try it.
To be fair, american cheese slices have a way of showing up frequently in Korean instant noodles. So it is part of the customary diet.
@@SlavicCelery The army brought over cheese slices and spam during the war and they became a staple
Careful, Icarus.
13:08 no, no, you're on to something there!!! I've had glorious egg bakes that involved a bacon-lined ramekin and simply making the ramekin out of Spam is brilliant! It solves the issue of the bacon slumping down the sides of the vessel.
All the cookling videos have such Unus Annus energy to them, this is excellent
“Midnight gour-mindset” is a joke that hits me like a train EVERY TIME
Adore Karen giving lil support backstory to Brian and also this late night drip.
@Chad 007 no it isn't Chad.
No one knows what you're talking about Chad.
I’ve watched this video so many times. It might be my favorite thing on CZcams.
1:41 "nearby ingredients" *points to a tray that has, among other things, 2 jars of Lao Gon Ma Spicy Chili Crisp*
I love the moment when he feels like he’s explaining it to college kids, then immediately remembers what a large percentage of his audience is
Taking off the robe was giving me "Anime protagonist removes his weighted training gear" energy and I'm here for it
for those who know:
this video but Winter King.
I've watched this video like 3 times already but it took until now for my brain to acknowledge that Brian just straight up cracks an egg in his mouth at the end. Not sure how I missed out on that detail.
in my college years, when i was trying to pack as much protein as possible into the day for the purpose of gains, i would mix pesto, garlic dip, sun-dried tomatoes, shredded roast chicken, shredded mozzarella, and half a sliced red onion in a bowl. sometimes i would mix it up and replace the pesto with bbq sauce and sour cream. surprisingly tasty i cant lie
Hm
You forgot to put the whey in it 3:)
I've heard of everything BUT garlic dip, and this sounds delicious! My husband and I would both devour this.
can we appreciate how great of a job editor Jeremy did here
He made Brian look so smart and handsome!
Do more cooking videos! They're so much fun! And the concept of "oops you're a pizza now" has truly opened my eyes
Jeremy’s editing style works so well with Brian’s energy
