Ok, but I don’t have telegram, never used telegram, and I would think this is a scam because you never responded to my first email about “telegram.”

Thank you guys for putting out great content. Always looking forward to your videos!! Have a gallery of saved videos to rewatch and cook with! Thanks again!!

[@Sparky12002]

Hope you guys do a thanksgiving video soon. That way we can plan and get ideas prior to the week of! Keep up the good flavors.

[@alantanner3397]

I love the California Burrito! Is so yummy. But I adore the great hot sauce available at most places around here in San Diego. Hey Sam, why not do a special that represents the great hot sauces available to accompany this plus a STCG amped up condiment bar with pickled spicy carrots, jalapenos, maybe even some grilled peppers. That would be awesome because I want to see how these things are made so we can make our own at home. Love your work!

@Sam, I'm a bit obsessed with your amazing outdoor kitchen setup. Have you ever done a tour showing the layout, manufacturers, who built it, and perhaps even some build photos?

[@that_flab_to_fab_life]

Never had one and I guarantee that's my new favorite burrito! Missed you guys on Monday. You're the best part of our week!

[@lonniet.2816]

I WANT THAT BURRITO RIGHT NOW FOR LUNCH!!

[@narekasadorian]

there's an interesting variation at Rigoberto's (SD) where they put enchilada sauce in the burrito too, it really works

[@TheWolfsniper700]

looks so good carving set looks great also

[@Craig-ib7gk]

Gorgeous. I routinely make this, only varying the sauces. and roll it a little different. Building the pile bottom-up: 1. Half the cheese 2. Half the meat 3. Half the sauces 4. Half the guacamole 5. Fries 6. Remaining guacamole 7. Remaining sauces 8. Remaining meat. 9. Remaining cheese Then roll. Building+rolling this way you get everything in every bite, and don't end up with half your burrito loaded with meat but no guac, or all fries but no meat, etc. Try it.

[@donridgeway5894]

I am cooking this recipe this weekend. Thanks

[@mercedesmor2196]

This is something I've never tried ...looks amazing ...

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Fantastic! Those sauces are definitely the star of this burrito. Cilantro, garlic and beef 😁 Yum!

[@scottamori3188]

Great video, as always. One of my favorite cooking tools is a commercial weight french fry maker. The beast is cast iron with several grates for different size fries and I have it screwed down onto an old wooden cutting board. It wasn’t even that much to buy.

This sounds amazing. When marinating with soy sauce, I sometimes use one part water with one part soy. This helps minimize the saltiness (from the soy sauce) when I'm marinating overnight.

Im definetly taking notes to make this. Sauces look amazing. There isn't many Mexican places here where I live so I'm definetly having to learn how to make Mexican food. I love Mexican food. I could definitely eat it it every day. I've already got the refried bean and pico down. Working on perfecting corn and flour tortillas and then meat marinades from scratch. Good luck everyone on the sweepstakes. Thanks Sam for another great recipe.

[@bunns420]

As a mexican born and raised in southern california, this is not mexican food. The only "authentic" thing he made was the guac.

[@FizzyCape]

if youre trying to make it the actual mexican way, look up a carne asada marinade recipe, because sams is almost insultingly inauthentic.

@@ronreneau437 of course that matters. I hadn’t thought about that but you’re right.

[@ronreneau437]

@@NauticalYoshi I want to apologise if I came off as accusatory. That was certainly never my intent. I inquired to the staff about where the knives were made and they responded, rather proudly, that they were imported from China. That just got my hackles up. I love his channel and his cooking and I am always looking for good knives. My search continues and I hope yours will also.

[@NauticalYoshi]

@@ronreneau437 I completely understand where you’re coming from. From one STCG fan to another; I can honestly say I had never given it a thought. It’s always important to know how and where the product is made. My girlfriend bought me the STCG cast iron pan and the quality is terrific! In my mind I hoped the quality would translate over to his other products. Still would be cool to win!
