I remember one of the first videos I saw by Chef Lee where his son asked him to make a $200 wagyu steak gourmet. He looked dead into his son's eyes and said, "It's $200. It's already gourmet." I've loved this man ever since.
son, its already gourmet

Gourmet the gourmet
Panda express should sponsor this because I would give them mad respect.

UNCLE FINALLY REVIEWED THE IRON CHEF
And I just watched the actual video first before this lol.
Uncle Roger should give him the uncle title
I know right, this guy is awesome 😊

I remember a while back I brought up the idea of Iron Chef Dad doing a collab with Uncle Roger and people didn’t like the idea but now I see Uncle Roger react to one of his videos. Who knows maybe they will do a collab.
Ah, but if you look really carefully, _he never lets the metal fork actually touch the pan._ This is the skill of an iron chef. He's so good that he _actually can use metal with nonstick cookware._
This.
He needs to comment at least something otherwise it would be flagged for copyright.
@@cromrinthe creator can claim it regardless of the commentary if they want. CZcams doesn’t do that unless a channel owner wants it done automatically (and I think only music channels can have things auto claimed)
Incorrect it hits the pan
Are you deaf? there was no scraping sound. @@badtiger7471
I’ve eaten at one of his restaurants. Had the 12 ingredient coleslaw and then the Peking duck main. Just nuts how good it was. Truly modern Chinese / Asian fusion
Making gourmet meal is one thing but turning crappy food into gourmet meal is another cool skill. Chef Lee is one of the greatest chef out there.
bro spends his whole life directing someone to another video
nothing about panda express taste bad. its it traditional or the best no, but theres nothing bad about it
In my place I have many local Chinese restaurants. They are fast food chain btw. Tastes better than Panda express@@lethaltatics9523

I've watched a lot of his and his son's videos. That man is legit one of the best chefs I've seen. Definitely deserves the uncle title 100%.
factss put some respect on mr. susur lee. Him and levi are the goats, from cooking to life in general
@@Sosa_handlesseriously, I also like how you can tell his son kinda grew up spoiled but not in a seemingly arrogant way.
ok
@@Mnkeys because all of his sons worked in his restaurants like they were cook, dishwasher and everything. Hence, kai, levi and jet are all humble
@@Sosa_handlesha! humble my _ss
Uncle Roger complains about fork on nonstick pan doesn’t realize chef is too professional and doesn’t even touch the pan
Love Susur, my family is from Hong Kong on my mother's side and watching him reminds me of growing up with a great grandfather who was a chef. I also love how Susur shuts down his son's ridiculousness 😂
That man is one of the best chefs I've ever watched. I hope he gets an UNCLE title
uncle iron chef dad? only missing son and he's the whole family.
I don't think he'll ever need one. He went over to Japan, became the number 2 Iron Chef on that program, came back to America and became an American Iron Chef, and then became the best one we had here. His uncle title was earned a long time ago. He more like God-Uncle now.
Guys do your duty please and report spamers
@@therkokid215Uncle Roger is just a foody asshole giving out arbitrary titles. If he can take it from Gorden Ramsey he can take it from any professional chef 😂
@@Xenaman the spammers are bots they will never end dude.
Uncle Roger making a comment about exorcism on Panda Express and comparing Panda Express as a demon to authentic Chinese Food is priceless. 😂
www.google.com
True words indeed, could not have said it better!
😭😭💀💀💀
Demon of mediocrity maybe. Asian people usually excel when they come to the West. Panda Express excel only at making mediocre restaurant be everywhere. Excel at making money off of westerners who think rice comes out of baggie and big chunks of overcooked fried meat covered in battered sugar is good food. There isn't enough MSG in the world to make it palatable but they try anyhow and dump loads on it to cover up the mediocrity..
Chef Lee is one of the most original and creative chef I have ever seen on CZcams.
I met this guy several times when I was delivering produce in Toronto. He was one of the nicer Chefs out of 100s that I met.
Chef Lee definitely knows what he's doing
One of the best cheif in the world ❤
Notice he never touches the non stick pan directly with the fork.
Nice ❤
Nice update
Nice
Jamie opening his restaurant in Malaysia international airport is honestly the check mate move he won the beef 😂
Right, we can only hope it will be reviewed badly and not received well so uncle roger can get on the return route then🫠
It doesnt mean anything, you just pay the rent. Which is very high. But still doesnt make you better?!!!!!
@@prity777 Jamie never responded at all to uncle roger’s call outs and stuff we thought he admitted defeat but his come back with the restaurant is honestly the most badass response to uncle roger. I’m not saying anyone is better I just said Jamie clearly wins the beef here
Jamie Oliver opening a restaurant in an airport is like Gordon Ramsay coming out with a line of frozen dinners.
Which he actually did!?
Every soul has a price I guess.
@@steakknives The reviews were ok so I don’t know what do you mean by that.
Daaamn!!
UNCLE ROGER is on a ROLL with all of these videos of him cooking with these other Chefs from Social Media!!.. So awesome!!
🙏😎🙏
I'm so excited for this video. Iron Chef Dad is in my top 3 favorite online cooking channels.
I'm surprised that it took this long for Uncle Roger to have a crossover with Chef Susur Lee considering that he's a pretty viral sensation in the cooking YT scene.
I mean it's been almost 2 years and he did not even responded to Chef Michel Dumas who made a "Uncle roger fried rice video" and he got more than 1 million sub
Right!!??
@@HelpAnimalsPleaseEthe f*ck are you at?
@@YatsuraHeadOnTo be fair, there aren't even any subtitles on that video. Uncle Roger can't speak French lmao
He can't speak chinese either but somehow hired someone to add subtitle to the video of chinese Chef he's a 15millions sub channel he can afford to pay someone to add subtitle to a 5 minutes video lmao@@Medbread
Chef Lee is not only one of the best chefs I've seen but also one of The best dads on the internet! He deserves to be crowned Uncle Lee
true
He's that one dad that makes beautiful arts that's edible, but the twist is that his art is actually tasty
ngl he looks so cool and I don’t know why
but he does
Look up how he treated his restaurant staff, he's a dog
Chef Lee is so super chill. Love him! Deserves Uncle title because this man knows how to cook!
u need to review more of this chef's video and give him the uncle title he deserves it a lot of dishes he make gourmet
"Use the right amount not the white amount" is still my favorite and most used Uncle Roger quote by far
"Egg fry rice very simple dish, only three ingredient: Egg, Fry, and Rice!" -ultimate Uncle Roger quote.
Looks like aunty roger haiya
@@svbarryduckworth628 bro forgot the MSG
11:38 That's not a beetroot, it's a watermelon radish. It has the right texture and flavour to accompany something this flavourful. It's more of a pallet cleanser.
yes, the skin of it is kind of green and shows that it's not a beetroot. In Chinese, it's called 心裡美
😑 exactly what I was going to say - how the heck is that beetroot? Makes me wonder why is uncle Roger so white in this case
@@kyle0091000 I think the radish usually grows at higher latitude? so that's wht
I thought it wasn't quite the right colour. Not that I'd mind, as long as it's not raw beetroot isn't actually that bad.
@@bravery2047 To be fair, watermelon radish can be found in Asia (seen them in China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia - places that I’ve been to that is), as well as North America (seen them in USA and Canada). Calling watermelon radish as beetroot is like calling shallots, onions (heck, shallots and onions are in the same family, whereas radishes and beets are not). Also, beetroot is purple & reddish throughout (from the outer layer of skin to the centre) - it’s a dead giveaway🤷🏻♂️
My dad asked for his glasses WHEN it’s ON TOP OF HIS HEAD
12:04 Uncle Roger utters the word "fancy" without it being echoed by cute k-pop girls... I need to go rethink my life.
You can use a metal utensil on a non-stick pan as long as you don't directly scrape on the pan with it. The iron chef didn't scrape the bottom he was kind of folding the top.
he's a pro chef who's done it so many times that walking over to get a wooden spoon or spatula or whatever is a waste of time
@@jamescheddar4896 exactly 💯
I was thinking the same thing I never actually saw his fork touch the pan
I do the same thing honestly😊
He scraped it with the metal spoon when plating tho
My girlfriend and I ate Panda Express for the first time the other day. I'd say for Americanized Chinese food it wasn't half bad. I was just shocked that they actually had to wok stations in their store.
Yeah Panda Express is not bad at all, especially when the food is fresh. If the staff is friendly you can ask them what’s being cooked in the wok right now and order that. I don’t know why anyone orders their noodle or fried rice, they’re both bad. Just get plain rice. Their Kung Pao chicken is the best Chinese American KPC I’ve ever eaten; it’s not sweet like at almost every other restaurant. All of the chicken dishes are decent actually. Orange chicken is sweet af, so avoid if that’s an issue (I do). Their limited run shrimp stuff is good also.
@@ckannan90 I get the greens instead of the usual rice/noodles base. Much healthier, though bland, but voluminous amount of crunchy goodness. Helps offset the health sins of the rest of it.
@@ckannan90you are correct I personally don’t like Panda Express much the chow mein is dry the fried rice has a taste i don’t really like the only thing I kind of like is maybe the black pepper beef. I would instead go for a local Chinese takeout and not a chain
Panda Express has been popping up in my area I was curious. But if it's really sweet I'm going to pass trying it.
I add sweet & sour sauce to my fried rice that's sweet enough for me.
@@Sparkfist what I got wasn't sweet, but I'm guessing that something could be sweeter depending on how long it sits in the serving dish and how often they stir it.
3:21 Jamie took it personally ☠️
Im from malaysia im pissed off too
In one video, he shows his method for cooking a steak. He uses shallots in that video. I tried cooking steaks the same exact way and now it's my preferred method. So good.
Nigel's podcast is why I can't drive around with my car windows open while listening; it's all going along fine and then, BAM, out of nowhere, some kind of dirty (though hilarious) scenario flies out of his mouth. If I'm stopped at a light, I could get arrested for public disturbance! Family friendly indeed...
Roll up the windows if you're afraid. Or just watch some boring pc comedian
Uncle is downgrade to chef or dad. Both together is already superpower to weak weak uncle title.
@@janoslaszlovasik9161 Bro, 'twas a joke, lol. I love Nigel Ng's comedy!
@@ebellyfish4256 it'd be funny if ppl saying this like this wouldn't actually exist. Hard to tell from a comment. Sorry tho, my bad
@@janoslaszlovasik9161 No worries, I guess my sarcasm doesn't come across well in text; oops. You make a good point though, I didn't think about the fact that there are some people who say that and mean it, but you're totally right!
I'm going to vouch for Bokksu actually, I was subscribed to them awhile back until I switched to Keto for a good while but while I had it it was awesome. There was one seasonal one that came around the time of the Sakura festivals and such and had a ton of awesome treats and all the things included are from locals. I'm not subscribed currently, but for anyone that's a fan of Japanese treats I highly recommend. Tempted to actually see if they're doing anything fancy now as reminiscing for this comment has me craving 🤔😅
I loved Bokksu when I had a subscription too. I stopped my subscription only because I couldn't afford it anymore, but I still think about their yuzu sake candy. It was so good.
I'am going to get one for my wife. She grew up there.
8:40 "This not white noise this Asian noise" 😂😂😂😂
I had a really bad joke, but I don’t wanna get banned so if you put too and to together youl get it, if u know you know
This is one of my favorite chefs to watch. His talent and creativity are so masterful.
The fact that uncle roger calls chef lee "chef" instead of "nephew" or "uncle" is already impressive to me
8:00 “Uncle roger trying to run family-friendly”
Uncle roger - Lit swears almost everytime ☠️😂
3:49 this one seemed quite genuine.
What you hiding Uncle Roger
Iron Chef Lee is legit, his shorts always come up in my feed, he's the man
I’ve eaten at his restaurant and my buddy also had Susur cater his wedding. his food is not hype, it’s amazing.
I agree!
Best experience, and food, I've had at any restaurant here in Toronto!
Uncle Roger: *have a lot of positive review for him*
Also Uncle Roger: *doesnt give him uncle title*
Me: *confused screaming*
Yeh that got me confused as well, literally his only mistake is the metal fork in pan, I guess that is a REALLY BIG deal.
and there are now non-stick pans that are usable with metal utensils. I would think/assume that he has those type of pans.
he's already got the title of iron chef dad, no need for uncle title
He already got another almost equivalent title: Dad
I feel like Uncle Roger is holding the olive oil against him.
Susur Lee is a legend. Very talented genes in his family
Glad you shouted out their channel!
"Don't take it out on utensils, Take it out on children too. That's what Asian parents do"
-Truer words have been spoken
Which words are truer?
@@wetnoodlexindeed, when someone uses a saying they don’t understand and
therefore misquote it. A not like the US saying “could care less” instead of couldn’t
He had to put his glasses on so he could see panda express' disrespect in HD.
It’s not white noise it’s yellow noise 8:49
This is like watching my my uncle and my dad arguing over the grill. I've been waiting for this for ages.
Just a little comment: best nonstick pans are ok with metal, but only blunt hits.
No scratching or cutting.
And i think ICHD used it just right.
(Not sure what red pan is, looks more like cast iron)
Love from Czech Republic
❤
It also looked like he was just touching the food when he was moving it, not touching the pan.
@@nerrickk9024 You can pretty clearly see pan contact at least a couple times. Not a big deal though. And I think the red pan is ceramic coated cast iron, at least that's what it looks like to me.
@@Mad-Lad-Chad It's a Staub enameled cast iron skillet.
True. If you can control it, you will barely touch the pan.
also if he noticed, Chef never even touched the inside of the pan with it.
Bokksu is $65 for one month sub, so with the code, it's $50 with free shipping from Japan if anyone was wondering.
"Good one, Jamie" 😂😂🤣
Modern non-stick is tough stuff and you can use metal utensils in it provided you're careful. Scovill stuff is wonderful.
3:08 i did not see that one coming XD
How did I miss this video. One the fact you mentioned Martin Yan…swoon. Two Sursur knew my late father well ❤ He used to frequent Sursurs tiny restaurant before he got iron chefy famous and he is a phenomenal chef. Enjoyed this immensely
Dude love it chef Lee is one of my favorites along w his son and uncle Rodger of course
Chef Lee and Uncle Roger is the crossover we need!
+99999999
Jet and his iron chef dad making it to the big scene makes me happy.
Susur lee used to charge his kitchen staff for food mistakes and until the laws changed he was very exploitative.
What the fuck are you even on about? "Big Scene"? Susur Lee was famous even before CZcams. He literally owns several restaurants and is widely renown in the restaurant industry lol. Do you NOT see his house?
They’re already big enough bro😂
So, being in charge of 6 restaurants, being a millionaire, and being on a show with millions of viewers isn't "the big scene"? It's being reviewed by Uncle Roger?
@@rustler08 correct.
I use to work for Panda Express a long time ago. Sometimes if we didn't have enough white rice cooked we would just use the brown rice.
Also some times the cook can put a lot of soy sauce in the fried rice which makes it look like brown rice.
ABOUT TIME I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG 😂
I usually don’t like Panda Express, but I ate it at an airport in Mexico and it was surprisingly amazing
Probably infused with Mexican seasoning 🤣 actually has flavor
It's mostly sugar and fat, so of course it would taste amazing.
@@McKillaboy it’s also fat and sugar in the US Panda locations, but they just made it better in Mexico
Panda express is amazing
Panda Express tastes good not healthy too sweet it seems that the fried rice sucks so it depends on what you get
Really diggin the background Final Fantasy
music remix.
i watched a lot of their videos, the dude is epically impressive. I would love to see a colab
8.5 million? It swore it was just yesterday that I saw the 4M wejio. Real world possibility that 10M is around the corner?! I remember when you hit your FIRST 1M. You sir have conquered the algorithm, you did in 2 years what it takes most to do in 10. Hats off to you Uncle Roger 🎉
Iron Chef Dad is the best! He's like 100% wholesome and great chef and great dad like it's so heartwarming watching his channel
Nah lol. He was abusing his restaurant staff before he became widely known online from this channel. He's an asshole lol. Not gonna hate on him for past mistakes, but he's hardly a nice guy. Those guys don't make it in the restaurant biz.
He basically hid the Panda Express under great his food after fixing all their mistakes. Love this man.
YES. I've been waiting for Iron Chef and Uncle Roger collab. Hope Iron Chef gets his Uncle Title.
Love Chef Lee! Watched him on Top Chef Masters years ago and was amazed by his skill.
at least give him credit for the fork not hitting the pan :D
This is one of my all time favorite videos they did xD when he started washing the noodles I was dying laughing xD
Yes! It's finally happening. I hope they both can have a meeting one day. I am sure Uncle Roger and the "Iron Chef" would have a great time.
Fun fact, in Indonesia there is a dish called Magelangan. It's basically a combination of fried rice and noodle. The food ain't suppose to go togather un everyone's mind but it did. And it was really good. If you go to Indonesia I suggest trying it as well as a lot of other foods from there especially the street food
Where does it served? Never heard of it, nwver seen it. For me it is bad idea to eat both rice and noodle at the same time (except in this video). I'm amazed how some Indonesians like to have overload carbs. It's imbalance diet!
@mayaparamita2254 Well, Magelangan, I forgot the origin. I think maybe it was from Central Java or Yogyakarta, but correct me if I'm wrong. You can find the food in Java like Jakarta, Bandung, or other places (I don't know outside Java if it sells them). I have to admit it might sound weird, but trust me, it was good. The different texture of fried rice and fried noodle really stands out.
Though I kinda agree that overloaded carbs are bad. But compared to American portion foods, we are still healthier, in my opinion. Fun fact, there is a famous brand of noodle in Indonesia called Indomie. We Indonesian eat the fried noodle with rice. Sounds strange, but it was good. It really is food that I usually eat when I don't have money. The noodle kind of became the topping with rice
@@mayaparamita2254 it’s called nasi goreng mawut in my place. The portion of the noodle always very small like they use it just for texture. My mother used 1 pack of noodle to make 5 portions of fried rice.
Engga jir mana ada, magelangan itu campuran nasgor sama bakmie di mix ga di pisah, kalo di jkt disebutnya nasgor mawut. Kalo yg divideo emang pure cuma kaya nasi ayam mentega + bakmie gitu lah
@@Goxut kalau waktu gw dibandung saat beli namanya magelangan. Apa beda tempat beda nama. Ga tau ya
Tapi gw ingat nasi goreng mawut keknya sama sih nasi goreng + mie
I love how thrilled uncle roger became
Susur Lee is in my home town Toronto and while I can't afford to eat at his restaurant he is a great chef and I'm glad he calls Canada his home. He can grab a quick fork any time he wants imho. I don't eat Panda Express but I would gladly eat what he did to it.
11:54 the fnaf fandom calls something else a "purple piece of sh*t" 😂
I’m sure uncle roger doesn’t even know what fnaf even is, plus this is a cooking reaction and criticism not fucking fnaf.
@@bream1755 okay? So chill out lol, I thought it was funny. This is a comedy channel too after all
@@bream1755Dude chill out

I love how thrilled uncle roger became when chef lee ignored his son lol
I thought he’ll going to roast Susur Lee, not that man Nigel. Everyone loves him he’s cooking skills is really talented.
about metal fork in non stick pan: you can see clearly he is not touching the bottom of the pan, no scraping noise. he is well aware what he is doing, true iron chef

It is an honour to be reviewed by Uncle Rojer
oh for my life. that transition to sponsor was soooo smooth XD
The video we've been waiting for!!
Uncle Roger, those are Watermelon Radishes, not beetroot .They have a texture and bite similar to daikon but a bit sweeter
I was looking for this - as it was def not beetroot. It looked like "majroe" - But I think this sound more right, as "majroer" arent usually pink inside too.
8:16 Kind of reminds me of the monks tapping on their wooden fish during a scene in 36th Chamber of Shaolin. The one with the abbot reciting the sutras.
that transition into the add was a 10/10
Love his videos. I learn while being entertained! 😎👍
Jamie Oliver opening his restaurant in the Malaysian airport is such an absolute FLEX on Uncle Roger LMAO! 😂😂😂
Nigel's "Sorry children" is better than Uncle roger's "fuyohhh"
your videos are so amazing
3:27 I saw the restaurant at the airport and I was like " hey isn't that jamie olive oil? The one Uncle Roger hated bc of his use of chilli oil."
Chilli jam and olive oil in Asian food haiyaaa
10:13 really got me. Ha ha ha
Uncle Roger just flawlessly transitioning from vid to ad 😂
Love this video, hello from Toronto!
Susur and his kids are very polite and low key irl
I had the pleasure of eating at Lee restaurant in Toronto, in the back room off the kitchen. The food was incredible, I'd definitely recommend.
1:20 Never let anyone know your next move. Was expecting a roast 💀
i've seen so many of these videos on TT and never put together the dad was an iron chef XD
When you slow it down it looks like he is swiping the food but the pan isn't actually being touched by the fork. There isn't any scraping sound either.
I think he need to make Jamie's food gourmet
Impossible
Great video!
If you don't like purple beets, I recommend trying golden beets; milder flavor and no purple mess everywhere. Not in fried rice, though.
I love the chow mein, orange chicken, and string bean chicken although since we moved we are 1 hour away from the nearest ( the last time I had it, it wasn’t greasy and not crispy, it was freshly fried and super crispy and delicious sauce! ) .
I subscribed to his channel long time ago. His son always asked him to turn everything into gourmet 😂
