Uncle Rodger 100 percent professional. Great spirit and personality among chefs so to speak. Very awesome

[@LogicalNiko]

There is living in the country, and then there is living in the Texas Oklahoma idea of the country. I grew up in Illinois and spent a lot of time in farm country and you'd drive 1.5 hours to shop, 3-4 to get through the state (I also lived on the east and west coast were everything is relatively close)... But then there is Texas country...where you take trips driving 12-16 hours in a straight line within the same state. Cowboy Kent lives in Hollis, Oklahoma which is about 2.5 hours drive from Oklahoma City; which has some great Asian markets, bakeries, etc. The closest place of any size to his place is Childress TX about 20-25 mins away. However Childress really only has your basic grocery store, hardware store, fast food places, etc and is pretty much just the place you drive through when going from Amarillo to Dallas. He could also get to Amarillo in about 1.5 hours, and we have a few good Asian markets, but OKC is better. That disk is probably a cultivator disc, or harrow disc, it's a large steel disc that usually come in 10-30 inch diameters. They sit vertically and are used to plow and till up hard ground. One this large is probably 1/4 thick or more and made of a high carbon steel that's probably a higher quality than any pan you'll find. So that thing is probably as good or better at retaining and distributing heat than most professional blacktop grills.

[@arthurmoore9488]

The mass likely helps significantly with the variability of a wood stove. One thing people don't realize is how much things on a farm can cost, so re-using what would otherwise be scrap is always valued.

[@DrFrankLondon]

Could clearly see that you really enjoyed this one, James! It was a really good video and great work. Great that Cowboy Ken got his Uncle title!! 😀😁 Have a wonderful rest of your Sunday, mate!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you are well Frank!

You're right, it's very wholesome! I love how Uncle Roger just couldn't stop eating too lol

[@Appulaal]

It seems Uncle roger likes the cowboy style fried rice very much he couldn't stop eating it.

[@newp0rt]

noticed that too. it mustve been GOOD or he was hungry cause he just kept going spoon after spoon.

[@TheEternaut]

It is quite usual in the Argentinian countryside what we call "cocina al disco", which means cooking on a plough disc. I've tasted it several times, and it is exquisite! Just onions, potatoes, red peppers, chicken pieces, salt and pepper, and a good woodfire and it's a feast! By the way Chef, what do your neighbours think of your pipe practises? 🤣

[@fredfable5655]

Cocina "al disco" que termina no siendo al disco, sino en una cacerola chata con borde de cuatro pulgadas de altura y "CON TAPA!!!"> Una Falacia. Argentina esta llena de falacias.... En fin...In fine....

Been watching Kent for years and years. I have all his cook books and seasonings. Uncle Kent is the best. Been watching Uncle Roger for about a year now. Great seeing these two together.

[@tatoenguyen1876]

Anyone else enjoy that clip of Chef James rocking that piper?? Amazing!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you!

[@mareneaufrance5096]

I was surprised to see Chef James being a piper. It was really cool to see him play the bagpipes. If you like outdoor cooking, I suggest Men with a Pot. Kinda a asmr but fun with the scenery. They're cooking next to the creek, using twigs as a whisk, precooked wood as cutting boards. It probably would be hard to review on the channel, but it's enjoyable to watch.

[@XBluDiamondX]

I enjoyed the vids from that collab. I found it creative Kent Rollins fashioned himself a wok like that. I lived in a rural area before, and my father who did welding for a living, liked to fashion all sorts of things out of the metal junk one might find. Also, that asian store he visited is located in Oklahoma City, so I'm sure he drove a couple hours minimum from north Texas to get there.

[@sharabha1111]

[@edwozniak6381]

I think the powder on the outside of the wok was white pepper. When Uncle Roger put it on the food the wind got a hold of it.

[@mikecrabtree8200]

I like that uncle Rodger mellowed in to the whole scene. Mis understandings happen, especially when you are not there to see the original intent of a video. I'm glad they were able to get together and share cooking knowledge and have a good time.

[@rocketsauce5067]

I knew it. A lot of passionate cooks are also musicians. Women take note cooks and musicians are a score.

[@Komatik_]

Try a historical recipe from Tasting History or Townsends! Or go through Townsends' video How We Cook: Then and Now. Could be an interesting contrast with your modern restaurant kitchen experience: How much you can control in an environment like that vs. how little you used to be able to.

[@bochapman1058]

The funny part of him saying “ not all Asian people look the same” is technically true, but I ask a Chineses people while in China if all white people look the same and they said yes. My wife got mistaken for Angelina Jolie multiple times, and she looks nothing like her, except for maybe brown hair.

[@Satire-Gaming]

Yes that was wood ash on the wok, in the states it is very common to say cheers with drinks and food and has been that way for as long as I can remember. It is the sentiment that is important.

[@MrDeVooluff]

It was the one collaboration I've been waiting for. Never picked you for a piper... nice work man.

Garlic is an outstanding antibiotic. It's also a good preservative, and it helps clear sinuses.

"Cackle berries are not the same thing as dingle berries"... 🤣🤣🤣... I got tears on that one! And then, you are a piper!!! Okay, love bagpipes and everyone thinks I'm a bit strange because I'm American and live in Texas. I don't care, love the music and sound. BTW, the tandem disc being used for a wok is also great for making fajitas. Pole dance and Texas/Oklahoma two step, priceless. Loved the video.

i loved this video. it was two very different cultures meeting up and becoming best friends over an interest in the same thing, food.

[@fauxtaux]

“Piper James” the Makinson you didn’t know you neeeded :) I have inherited from my father what he called a “grub box” that looks much like the cowboy’s chow box. We used to fill it up with kitchen gear and food when we went camping. It was heavier than *you know what*, filled with old cast iron and carbon steel pans that I have since restored. A heavy duty plywood memory box, complete with the smells of camp fires past 😊

[@williamhauber8622]

You should totally check out the other half of his trip, Cowboy. . . I mean Uncle Cowboy Kent shows him how to make a real country recipe.

[@bmo1878]

Uncle Cowboy is now rated higher than Ramsay it's official.

[@ffwast]

Well that's because he's a better cook.

[@HoshikoStarz]

I'm glad that you had so much fun reviewing this video

[@Barreloffish]

For me, the real reason we cut scallions or other vegetable at an angle is that they give the appearance of the larger pieces. Good trick when you have little amount of ingredients.

[@RaccKing21]

Grew up in a relatively small town, a bit rural but nowhere near a ranch. My grandpa had something like Big Bertha, a bit smaller though. It had four legs, used to be a disc from a farm implement that's used for ploughing (looks similar to what Kent has, but it's more gear shaped). People here make barbeques out of everything, from propane tanks to barrels. My mom used to roast peppers for a sauce/relish we eat here, and the stove was an old steel barrel that had a big plate welded to the top. Why spend a bunch of money on an expensive grill when you can get a stick welder from your neighbor and cobble together one for free?

[@Bassmaster1256]

The Uncle Roger and Cowboy Kent video was one of the BEST videos either one of them has ever done by far. Awesome of you to review it and comment on it. OK James, when are you going to do a fried rice video with Uncle Roger?

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I don't know yet

[@randomlittlewaffle]

Everyone in the comments giving him is uncle Kent title is making me smile.

[@bohemiansusan2897]

That was a lot of fun to watch. My Dad used the same slang as Kent. The white surrounding the edges are bits of rice. In my opinion, they used awful spatulas. However each of us has our own preferences when we cook. How they decided to create wok hey is funny. The side about Hoosier cabinets was fun. I always wanted one. Years ago, I saw Hoosier style built in cabinets online.

[@rosynwhyr5778]

Oklahoma almost constant wind lol we're used to it.

[@user-neo71665]

Even with that stove it's wood fired and the wind still messes with it. You have to try to face the narrow side without the vents towards the wind in the summer or it will burn way too hot. In the winter you face the vent into the wind to help heat it up. You put the broad side to the wind it cools the stove down. You don't want to be trying to move a 300 pound plus burning hot wood stove around because you placed it wrong. Kent is a really cool guy. I've met him at a book signing and we talked for about 30 minutes. I' not a ranch chuck cook but I regularly do BBQs and cook on a wood stove kinda like his.

[@Grumpyoldman666]

Ken always has great content and you can tell he truly is a great person

[@dnnbsc]

As an Oklahoma native that grocery store is in Oklahoma city just north of downtown its a cool place haven't been to in years

[@michaelsamu7082]

Chef James, you should listen to Allie Walker "when the Whiskeys gone" she's a country singer who plays the bagpipes.

[@jozefmercier2781]

Belgian piper & DM here! I love your reviews and recipes!

[@Suraht]

I do feel the need to add that there is a fairly large Vietnamese population in Oklahoma, so you can find Asian Markets fairly easily. In the two biggest cities, you're rarely more than a five minute drive from one.

[@blackdragoncyrus]

There's something very heartwarming about watching a cowboy dive into making Asian cuisine.

[@Jor-El-Earth1]

"Wi-Fi is basic human right." LOL

[@fay6786]

you know the fried rice is good when uncle roger can't stop eating it xD

[@LilyStarstrider]

Honestly, country cooking like this: You use what you have. A disc from a farm implement is a solid iron that is hella sturdy ( i mean, if they can take a rock to them at speed, then they can take Uncle Roger's wit). I've made grilled cheese with a blowtorch before because... Well, it's what I had. XD

[@oteliogarcia1562]

Big Bertha is pretty common in English, I think. Anything big and well, hot. There was a WW1 German cannon named Big Bertha IIRC.

[@batslav]

I agree about the "cheers". Here in Bulgaria we use it mainly when we drink not for food.

[@IrukunTheTuna]

They didn't say bon appetit because it was a food cheers! Haha! They're clinking the spoons together like drinks. I don't know who started it necessarily, but I know it became a tradition on Buzzfeed's Worth It series. The hosts used to do it whenever they tried a new food.

[@wilderwisdom]

14:15 they're saying cheers bc they're clinking their spoons together like beers, moreso than like bon apetite imo

[@scimatar5]

First, that wasn't a little windy . . . well, it was only a little windy for Oklahomans, but those gusts cutting over the mics were going about 30-35 mph, maybe a little faster, (45-55 kph for the rest of the world). So those white flecks on the edge of the pan were almost definitely ash. But fortunately, that Asian market is located in Oklahoma City, which is fairly centrally located in the state, so he didn't have too much of a drive by Midwest US driving standards. It looked like this was filmed in the fall, so he might have even stopped by that market while he was in OKC during the State Fair.

[@bmo1878]

Thats the nice thing living just outside the San Antonio city limits, got the country on one side and the city on the other. 15 minutes for groceries/fast food, 30 for a Korean market and a Thai market, 35-45 mins to all the expensive restaurants I can't afford.

[@flyerbluedog]

Yes! I’m a Piper too! 1st summer job when I was 16 was Piper with the 78th Fraser Highlanders on St. Helen’s Island in Montreal. Love your channel Chef James! Pierre in Montreal 🇨🇦

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Really?! Haha Small world, my teacher was in SFU They won the worlds a few times with Jack and Terry Lee

[@flyerbluedog]

Ah, but SFU and 78th Fraser Highlanders are 2 different bands, one is the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band and mine is a re-enactment of a Highland Regiment part of the British Army that was here in Montreal back in the 1700s. Our vis-à-vis regiment, the one we shared The Old Fort on St. Helen’s Island with, was the Compagnie Franche de la Marine, a French Army regiment that was stationed here during the same period. It was really fun for young lads like us, we had 4 representations a day, one was raising of the flag, one was Massed Piping, one was Highland Dancing, one was firing musket volees! (we had period accurate Brown Bess repros!). So, my 1st set of Pipes were Grainger & Campbell, which I loved, then sold them in exchange for R.G. Hardie, which I didn’t like, sold them for a set of Gillanders & MacLeod which I adore (still play them to this day) and just bought a set of David Naill on a whim a couple of years ago which are exceptional. P.S. first time I wore the kilt, I was "regimental", and an updraft blew up while I was up on a stone wall at the entrance of the fort. On that stone wall was a row of flagpoles and my job was to hang a flag to all of them, alternatively city, province, country, etc. and while my kilt was floating up in the air à la Marilyn Monroe over the subway grid in ‘7 Year Itch’ a group of Japanese tourists had just come out of their tour bus and walking by me... I could hear their cameras going ‘click’ ‘click’ ‘click’... Jeez-a-loo! Hahahahaha!
