How Los Pollos Hermanos "Chicken" Is Made | Kafkaesque | Breaking Bad

[@juanjoyaborja.3054]

You know, for a fictional restaurant, Los Pollos Hermanos has some really good ads. They actually make their chicken seem delicious.

[@whiteuncleruckus]

With spicy new sauce called Blue Magic!

[@MauiWowieOwie]

binging with babish did a recreation(I think with the recipe the showrunners provided) and it did look amazingly delicious.

[@Fluctlight15]

It is delicious, i go there with my gf every sunday but my only complaint is that one day I found a blue crystal on my order. Dont know what it was tho.

1:47 I just realized the reason why they pass it through the curtain instead of just giving it to the shipment guy is so that he doesnt know which barrel has the blue in it, and is thus one less loose end in case the cops ever stop him.

[@peoplez129]

The curtain is there for food safety, or at least, the appearance of such. The sauce is actually real, they might even still use the sauce after moving the product, so they have to generally keep it as clean as possible. It reaches its location and is then removed, and then truck goes on to actually deliver the sauce. The reason being is they can't exactly create twice the amount of sauce production without raising suspicion if someone were to ever look closer, and that would also be an extra expense. The trucks have to appear normal, so they have to actually distribute the sauce in case anyone is investigating them.

Gustavo would have killed walter anyway

[@wu2166]

I really hope this is a joke comment and not just an oblivious assumption. Gus was trying to replace Walter with Gale because he knew Gale would be obedient but Walt was power hungry. He would have killed Walter once Gale learnt his recipe, which is why Walt ordered Jesse to kill Gale first. Even if Gus was willing to keep Walter around, it would have still been perilous for Walt’s family, as seen when Gus literally states that he is willing to kill his infant daughter. So no, Mike was wrong, it wouldn’t have ended up good even if Walt kept his head down, either Walt or his family would be dead. Edit: Even if Walt didn’t run over the 2 drug dealers, and Gus didn’t think of him as a threat, that would still result in Jesse’s death, since it was a two-against-one gunfight. So there was still never an option for Walt and Jesse to “keep their heads down” and continue working for Gus. Either one of them would end up dead.

In the little village where I was born, life moved at a slower pace, yet felt all the richer for it. There, my two uncles were known far and wide for their delicious cooking. They seasoned their zesty chicken using only the freshest herbs and spices. People call them Los Pollos Hermanos: the chicken brothers. Today we carry on their tradition in a manner that would make my uncles proud. The finest ingredients are brought together with love and care, then slow cooked to perfection. Yes, the old ways are still best at Los Pollos Hermanos. But don’t take my word for it. One taste, and you’ll know.

[@Steezboy3000]

Really bothers me that the guy at 1:07 didn't close it right

[@henryjosecaffierotorres9909]

gus who literally came out of a sewer: you are not up to los pollos standards *cutter sound*

[@mquininfrnl3362]

I remember there was a pollería (chicken shop) in my neighborhood, and around 2012 they changed their name and image to that of "Los Pollos Hermanos" it was shut down in 2 weeks.

[@laserbeamlightning]

Something about the way Walt moves his head at 0:52 is so satisfying

[@iwenttoohio5045]

Ik. thank God I'm not the only who thinks it's satisfying.

[@talkaboutwacky]

Gus looking off at the trucks you can see how proud he is of his operation

[@browhatthatinsane34]

As one of the daily Los Pollos Hermanos customers. I can confirm this is the way to make our fine chicken

[@oldculi]

This is weirdly satisfying. Also this background music is better than it has to be.

[@postmellon8138]

I love the way the sound effects are in beat of the song

[@pepito_5815]

I don't know why, maybe because the transitions are amazing in this scene, it will always remain one of my favorites. Bravo Vince !

[@NormalChannel95]

1:03 never has that rolling sound effect sounded so good along with the music

[@JordanWylde_]

Another reason to appreciate BCS is showing how Gus got to the point he officially had his drug empire. In BB, it was said Gus had been doing it for 20 years and building his own distribution over that time but most of the time he was under the Cartel’s thumb with his influence growing with the Salamanca operation declining, the Cartel relying more on Gus, Gus constructing the Superlab, Gus running the North Valley under Bolsa’s supervision. With production on his territory and causing pressure on the Cartel by having the Cousins and Bolsa killed, Gus officially had his drug empire. That’s why the Cartel attacked his trucks in Season 4 and wanted Gus to work for them again which resulted in Gus destroying the Cartel. Final step was Lydia’s idea with the Czech Republic but Gus died before it could be finalised. Walt went on to use Lydia’s idea for his own drug empire, which is why Walt’s operation is considered bigger than Gus’ operation.

And it all ran like clockwork.

[@lauchsuppedeluxelauchsuppe1803]

anybody know the song?

[@Icetea-2000]

Would’ve been amazing if they just aired this straight up in the super bowl commercial break as a trailer for season 3

[@WoodenCross]

You know it's just really cool, all the same. All details in this show. For example, this "ad" says that Los pollos hermanos is from Mexico, despite Gus being the founder. Gus was born in Chile

[@artstsym]

"slow cooked to perfection" overtop falling fried chicken still makes me laugh to this day also, there's a lot of overhead at this drug packing plant, I'm pretty sure you don't need at least 3 or 4 of those guys on the line

[@Sheikh_Speare]

Take it up with Gus, I'm sure he'll appreciate your input on how to run his business.

[@artstsym]

@@Sheikh_Speare He's not returning my calls for some reason.

[@Sheikh_Speare]

@@artstsym odd, the man is very punctual. 🤔

[@artstsym]

@@Sheikh_Speare It's true... although you know what, I think he did mention at some point that he visits an old friend on days like this, so I'm sure he's just busy reminiscing.

[@petermgruhn]

@@artstsym You have legitimate criticism but he can't face up to it.

[@markanthony4546]

Gus is legit probably one of the best Restauranteur’s ever. Dude has a standard for quality and he sticks too it.

[@rafa-dv2ur]

One of the best cold openings ever

[@KaiserClownLXXXI]

I'm pretty sure the music that plays while they are packaging the product is an instrumental version of the song "La Negra Tomasa"

[@mrshadow4007]

"What do you do for work?" "Oh, I work for Los Pollos Hermanos and weigh drugs into bags."

[@toyland_f]

Studio Ghibli always makes food look delicious.

[@tangerinedream8987]

I love how 1:36 and 2:03 have the packaging process and trucks handbrake being released in rhythm with the song.

[@rycanlase3639]

ASMR

[@fritzman6483]

How nice of Gus Fring to authorize a glass disposal business in the basement of his properties. It protects everyone

[@shaunadamson4634]

1:36 Did anyone else instantly pick up on the mallet tapping the lids firmly closed in time with the beat of the music?

[@wiliee69]

when i found this, i was expecting a normal historical cooking show. but instead i got the to see the best cooking show with a beautiful process while eating my dinner

[@NevanSlone]

“And it all ran like clockwork” -Mike

[@Hip.Hip.Hurray]

The fictional commercial is so much better than the real ads.

[@libra_v3]

props to the editor for managing to keep the hard cut into the breaking bad theme instead of just fading out the clip and fading in the video outro

[@u235cereal]

That’s crazy i had no idea the seasoning they use for the chicken is blue, that’s kinda wild

[@SpaceCase132]

I think it’s some kinda flint corn. It loses its color when fried, but it helps to give the seasoning a nice sweet undertone that compliments the chicken.

[@CookieThug]

Hammering to the beat is so good

[@dac5782]

Not just the hammering, just about every sound effect is going to the rhythm of the music.

[@Holliday0089]

I absolutely love the music in this scene.
