- Sohla and Ham are back! That’s right, it’s a brand new episode of Mystery Menu. Here’s how it works: We give them one hour and one surprise ingredient. They turn it into dinner and a dessert. Today’s secret ingredient is … bacon! What will they come up with? What does a bacon dessert look like? Watch to find out.

This is the best cooking content around - absolutely love how creative they are in planning and then we get to watch them execute and critique their work. I’d happily watch an hour long version of this. Sohla and Ham are phenomenal!
Agree! I'd watch an hour or more! I love them and their teaching style. Clear, concise, knowledgeable, relaxed and interesting.
Plus the menu/recipes they come up with are amazing.
It really is incredibly entertaining to watch these two professionals at work
Omg yes! Hour long videos would be awesome!
Agree 100% hey we all get our vote. Also hoping to get a decent gespacho
ITS A GOOD DAY WHEN SOHLA AND HAM CONTENT COMES OUT WOOOO
😊yes!
You are so right!
Facts
The way Sohla and Ham look at each other and work together, you can just feel that it's true love. They're energy is unmatched. Love watching videos with them!
I love that! The way they talk to each other is always so kind, fun and encouraging, they really do have such a beautiful energy between them.
Yes, the teamwork and the respectful/constructive creative process where they bounce ideas until both are happy with the final plan.... just truly a joy to watch. They both love food and love one another and it comes through in such a lovely way.
I'm always impressed by how much they manage to get done in just an hour. Maybe some day they get like 4 hours or something to just go nuts, for a special or season finale or something like that.
I've been thinking the same thing! It boggles the mind!
I'd love to see full tasting menu for end of season with whichever ingredient and maybe even drinks
@@RubyJamez heck yes
wow you're naïve. it is called editing hun.
That's basically the ginger bread house contests they've had.
NYT: Okay so you have one hour to make two courses about bacon.
Ham and Sohla: pull off 4 courses, successfully braise bacon in a slowcooker, make grits, make their own sausage, paint the cistene chapel.
I think maybe the producers worried initially that giving them more mainstream ingredients would lessen the excitement or the creativity. I'm glad that this episode shows how that's clearly not the case.
Grew up watching Iron Chef and just realized that that's what Sohla and Ham are doing but with much less help. They're truly brilliant and such great partners. Love how Ham made sure Sohla had what she wanted in the dish, the BLT.
Made me tear up a little because he listened to the unspoken and wanted to represent what she really needed to have.😢
It's all the fun of the creativity of Iron Chef but collaborative rather than competitive
Ham is so sweet, he could tell Sohla reeeaally wanted that BLT sandwich even after his tomato juice shot BLT idea so he tried to defer back to the sandwich, and she chose to compromise so they can have both. Love it 😍
So great! I'd love to see more episodes with real ingredients like this. I'd totally make a tasting menu centered on bacon, but never on Halloween candy, Hot Pockets, or Jell-O. They're so excited about bacon. Delicious-looking final product. Thanks again, Sohla and Ham!
Agreed. I actually learned from this. I'd love to see them with real ingredients to see their true skills. I'll watch this again.
Hope the producers see this comment. As fun as it is to see them work with crazy ingredients, this video has been more educational than anything they’ve put out before imo. I learned like 5 new techniques and suggestions because they were working in their wheelhouse and not grasping at straws!
Jello episode tho ended up being an art piece after all the struggle
It should be a mix of both. I love seeing Sohla and Ham get extremely creative when the ingredient is unconventional
These episodes are always so much better when they get a real ingredient instead of something processed. They even say they prefer it too. It makes it so much more fun
I do not normally “like” videos. I do not normally comment. But I learn more from 20 minutes of Sohla and Ham cooking then I do anywhere else. And therefore I will support their content in any way possible.
Sohla and Ham are so brilliant. They really should have their own cooking show. Show us poor schlubs how to cook brilliant meals. Pantry staples, one ingredient three course meals and the like. There would be so many grateful fans!
I love the one that Sohla does on Food52's channel where she makes a main dish and then shows you how to riff off of it and take the dish in another direction by changing key ingredients! It's called Off-Script with Sohla. I think it's an incredible idea because the best way to go from a good cook to a great cook is learning how to adapt base recipes using your own favorite flavors, methods, and ingredients.
@@table4glasses I REALLY hope Food52 didn't can that, I haven't seen it lately. Sohla and Ham are a WEALTH of knowledge, can't wait for her book!
I can totally see Sohla and Ham running one of those restaurants that have a rotating menu with what's in season, they are such a great team and so skilled at their craft. Everything they make sounds so good.
YES!
Lol. They ran a restaurant into failure almost instantly.
I love them individually but love them more as a couple. They are creative, they work together, they praise each others work, they never snap with each other even under duress.
Always an absolute joy to see Sohla and Ham doing their thing!
not to get too heavy, but as someone in recovery for an eating disorder seeing people so knowledgeable and excited about food is really, really helpful for me. it makes me feel more excited about things as simple as a BLT, and reminds me that i can have fun cooking and eating. food can be fun and exciting and experimental and joyful. plus, it’s always so fun to watch people who are good at and love what they do get to be as creative as possible. these videos teach me so much and make me actually want to cook something
One of my favorite parts is at the end waiting to see if Ham or Sohla is the first one to say "Who knew?" Watching them surprise themselves is truly a joy. This is my favorite series online, thanks for bringing it back!
Sohla and Ham are my favorite duo. You can tell how much they love and appreciate food as they describe it. Watching them work together in the kitchen is pure magic. ❤
Every "woah" makes me smile
It’s like watching an Olympic sport watching these two cook!! It’s a skill I think we all aspire to have!
Every time a new episode comes out I go "this is my favorite episode so far!" I just love all of these videos so much
Hearing Sohla and Ham saying "it's gonna be okay" and "no matter what happens we'll be having something tasty" immediately makes me feel better about the shit in my life. The seasonal booster we've all being waiting for. (and the not-so-subtle suggestion of another episode of gingerbread showdown yay!!!)
OUR FAVOURITE CULINARY COUPLE IS BAACCKK
Lol Ham saying “on paper this is really simple stuff”
For the love of God, please give these people more time!
Give them their own TV show.
Can we get a Ham and Sohla cook at home in a chill way they actually eat for dinner?
Yes! Ideas for cooking at home together. 🎉
Honestly, I would watch them just microwave takeout.
Sohla's "Off-Script" series with Food52 is probably a lot closer to what she cooks like at home. But iirc she said in a "what I eat in a day" video that she doesn't do as much cooking for herself as one would expect, since she juices every morning and then tastes her cooking as she works lol
Nothing to say other than I missed Sohla and Ham and I’m glad they are back 🤗
Not only are they fabulous together, but their explanation allows me to almost taste everything through their words!
The way Sohla and Ham bounce off of each other's idea is so amazing. Totally shows how amazing chefs they are
God they really are so impressive! Love the El-Waylly’s 🎉
Please never stop providing us with Sohla and Ham content! I love watching their chemistry and how they plan everything out. They are such a great team and I'm so happy every time I see a video with them pop up on my feed!!!
“We don’t go to Brooklyn.”
-Sohla
Nice.
Lmao does anyone know more about why that is? Figured it was a reference to what happened with their restaurant
@@jorb1903 pretty common for manhattanites to not go to the boroughs, that's how i interpreted anyway.
i love her for this 😂
This comment actually disappointed me. Sounded snooty.
I love the way Sohla and Ham always go above and beyond what's expected--not to show off but for the love of food and the love of each other. Their level of communication and the degree to which they inspire each other is something I aspire to!
Sohla and Ham are A+ food-tainment. They have all the showmanship (with lots of thanks to the camera work and editors, lest we forget!), and still manage to usually get some teaching across. I always learn new things, even if they're kinda small. That's really hard to balance! Especially in a way that appeases the CZcams gods.
Keep up the good work you guys!! NYT, I'd LOVE if you included some proper captioning. It'd really help.
"we barely used any salt" - cut to 11:05 and him toughing fists of salt at the grids XD
And I still love them!
An episode where Sohla and Ham have to incorporate the food ham into a full meal would be hilarious, solely because at one point somebody would get confused about whether it was Ham or ham being talked about.
This was such a good episode I wanna smell that kitchen so badly.
Bacon was a fitting choice, I’d like to see more “regular” ingredients because it still takes a lot of creativity to make something cross the sweet-savory boundary and still be balanced. Give them turnips or rhubarb or foie gras, something weird. Idk but keep ‘em comin!
Do I eat bacon? No
Did I like this video before I even finished watching? YES!
It's clear that they fundamentally understand the BLT - it's a tomato sandwich. Everything else on it is an accent to help boost the tomato.
I have been WAITING for this! Yes to more Sohla and Ham!
Love the creativity and the cohesiveness of these chefs! More Sohla and Ham!
I love these two, how they brainstorm and solve "problems" together, really lovely to see. And the creativity is just phenomenal!
the best cooking show ever has returned!!!
they’re back!! my comfort cooking couple!! 😭🤍🖤
I ordered sohla’s new cookbook. and I’m really excited to be able to see how all that works and I am so glad that they’re back with new Contant. I just love the way these to work together and it’s fun. I have been a fan for a long long long time. What I would like to see is maybe one of these times when you get an ingredient see what you could do for somebody who has diabetes.
That’s me! Diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure, so low fat low sodium and no sugar. There’s still inspiration that can be found in some recipes though this one with bacon is difficult. There are still variations of each dish here that could be created
I enjoyed this much more than episodes that use silly ingredients like 4 courses of jellybeans. (Don't remember if one was ACTUALLY jellybeans.) My takeaways are Tomato Knorr and Peanut Bacon Crumble. I WILL be putting that on SOMETHING.
I personally love the drawings
I cannot believe they got it all done in an HOUR !!! 🤯 The dishes looked phenomenal ❤
“I barely used salt.”
Cut to Ham throwing handfuls of salt into the grits.
(Seriously the most fun cooking content on the web today. Looking forward to more!)
Who decides that there has to be 4 season only.. we want 10+
THE INTERNET'S MOST WHOLESOME COUPLE IS BACK
for the love of god these episodes need to be longer. I want every minute of this. it's just one hour and then some, why can't it be all here
Wow, that was amazing! So many fun elements & creativity. Definitely want to try making each dish, one at a time! 😂

I haven't even watched the video but SOHLA and HAM ARE BACK!!! Yippeee!!!!
I was literally thinking to myself today that "I'm gonna need Sohla and/or Ham to put our a new video soon or I'll call them out on Twitter" 😂 so this makes me very very happy 😁
“elvis on fire” is a dish i’d pay a GREAT deal of money to eat outside!!!!!
I love these two. Didn’t realize how much I missed them.
Bacon. Bacon. Bacon and eggs. Bacon and grits. I died and went to heaven. Thank you guys!!!
god god if iron chef didn't take itself so seriously i would be so on board with sohla and ham going on it but this is a very good alternative
IM HERE I NEED SEROTONIN AND YOU UPLOADED JUST NOW THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 😢❤
BABE WAKE UP NEW HAM AND SOHLA CONTENT
it takes me an hour to fry chicken wings, i am so amazed at how much you get done within an hour and how coordinated you are!!
"I was trying to go as fast as I could but, like, everything got done in the last seven minutes."
It's final project season as a college student, so, yeah, I felt that.
So fun!! All the food looks so delicious!! Also I'm obsessed with Sohla's t-shirt lol
about shirt..it gets better and then it gets worse: I googled and it's a limited edition shirt that has sohla's death by chocolate cake recipe in the back and its totally sold out.
"girl that's a full blender!" is my favorite line, i love the way they talk to each other with so much love and laughter!
Couldn’t be happier this series is back
I love these two humans and their creativity and love for food so much!!❤❤
Electric chemistry and creativity!!!!
it’s so much nicer to watch when they enjoy the base ingredient!
these two could make cereal and it would still probably be worthy of a fancy restaurant they're so fun to watch
Usually I watch these with an appreciation of Sohla and Ham's skills and mastery and a knowledge that I will probably never make any of these things myself, but holy crap am I going to experiment with those crepes this weekend.
Yay! More Sohla! She is a light and a joy. Ham is a bonus.😘 PLUS watching these two work together... seriously, relationship goals.
FINALLY!!! I’ve missed Sohla and Ham 😭😭😭
Love the way they just JUMPED straight into brainstorming as soon as they knew the ingredient. The excitement was so contagious.
Give Solah and Ham more ingredients like this! Truly a joy to watch. Beautiful chemistry, delectable dishes!
3:57 These two are the personification of “yes, and..” perfectly synchronised back and forth collaboration to create something beautiful
These are the pro's people need to be watching! These Sohla and Ham are it! (So glad to see Sohla again 😊)
I had to watch this in a few sittings to savor the good that is Ham and Sohla!
so excited for more sohla and ham content
I’m so glad you’re back! I have missed you both🥹
YAY! YAY! We need more of Sohla and Ham!!!!!!
Sohla always surprises me with their sketches, I love them, they are great at it ❤
FINALLY SOME SOHLA AND HAM!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So glad to see Sohla and Ham back again! I wanted everything on this menu.
I think we need a full 1 hour unedited episode of this
Love them and their work. Video editing a little different, i feel like I didn't get enough of them.
I'm so, so happy to see this series back. Sohla + Ham forever!!
Super fun to watch these two work together and be creative. Fantastic!
Wohoooo! Can’t wait for the new season! Watching you guys together in the kitchen and figuring things out and the way your brain works with ingredients and techniques is sooo inspiring! I always can’t wait to cook or bake after I watch the show! So so fun! Thank you so much ❤
I couldn’t agree more about cooking with coke- Coca Cola chicken wings are brilliant and dead easy!🥰🥰
So excited to see these two back on my feed!!!
I love this series so much because it’s such an exercise in play and joy of food - always inspiring and excited to see more eps this season!!
This series just feels so special, it truly is a treat and always makes me smile💕
The creativity is through the roofs with those two - always! Absolutely amazing end results!
they complement each other so well😊
So love this and so glad they had such a great mystery ingredient to work with! Sohla and Ham are the best!
I'm so happy this is back! They are phenomenal.
ugh i love them so much, such a genuine connection, calmess and kindness surrounding both of them
i am very happy to see ingredients that the chefs enjoy using! it makes it more fun as a viewer
I almost didn't watch this, because watching people cook a bunch of bacon seemed really boring to me, then I remembered the creativity and knowledge Sohla and Ham bring to the table, and it turned out pretty fun!
