Identifying specific brands, staging camera angles, clarity of script: all these details go a long way in separating your work from the ocean of other stuff. Great work.

​Popeye's spicy chicken sandwich *sauce* 🙏🏽. I haven't found anyone that gets the exact favor right yet!​@@farmageddon & Great work! I really appreciate your channel, and my family really enjoyed the chickfila recipe. I used yours as the basis to replicate the honey pimento summer sandwich.

[@erictreadwell9522]

As someone who worked at chipotle for a year and prepped/grilled the steak every day, I have a few notes for how it was prepared in the restaurant. This video was super close, but there are a few details that differ and some of these things may be harder to achieve at home vs in a commercial kitchen. 1. All the steak in the restaurant arrives ready to eat, they sous vide large pre-sliced 5-10 lb cuts of beef to medium rare/medium in vacuum sealed bags at distribution centers and deliver them still fresh. Those large pieces then get separated into smaller cuts (about half as thick as the ones in your video) and marinated once they're in each restaurant. So while the steak is marinated for 12ish hours overnight, once it's being cooked for the line it's only on the grill for 3-4 minutes max since all you're really doing is just searing the steak. 2. For searing the steak, chipotle actually does use oil for everything put on the grill, since cleaning would be so much more difficult without it. Usually it's applied with a spray bottle to coat the blacktop as thinly and evenly as possible before throwing the meat on it. You could also have put even a bit more salt on the steaks as they grilled, the operating term I was told to follow was "snow on the peaks" for how much to salt any grilled meats. 3. For cutting the steak after grilling, letting it rest probably does make it taste better but for full accuracy you should cut it almost immediately after pulling it off the grill. And the official cube sizing is 1 1/2 inches, though most people on grill aren't gonna be measuring super closely as they have to cut all of the steak as fast as possible to put it out on the line. Not sure how much any of that really affects the taste compared to your way of cooking it since everything else was spot on, I just figured some people would like to have even more context for how it's prepared.

[@ChipChapChop]

Great insight! Thanks!

Super excited to see both branching out from PF Changs to other restaurants, and to see the channel closing in on 350k subscribers. Well deserved!

[@Dina_tankar_mina_ord]

an important step when roling the bouritto is the pinky tuck at the end. Love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@philochristos]

The pinky tuck makes a big difference in the aesthetic and functionality of the burrito in the end.

[@The_Original_Big_Daddy]

Jason, you never fail to impress me with your depth of research and teaching skills for noobs. Excellent work!

[@farmageddon]

Thank you!

"I'm quite good at rolling other things. *ahem*" There's so much to love about your channel, Jason: your intelligence, your dedicated research, your sense of humor. Thank you.

[@farmageddon]

Thank you, David! It's so nice to see you again! I hope you are well!

[@poldetson6596]

I've made four of the recipes that Jason has presented and they have all resulted in outstanding food.

[@philochristos]

Which ones did you make? I made the burrito bowl from the last video, and the chick fil a sandwiches. They both turned out great.

[@poldetson6596]

@@philochristos I checked my recipe bookmarks and it turns out that I've actually made five: Chick-fil-a's Spicy Chicken Sandwich Chinese Takeout Crab Rangoon Chinese Takeout Egg Rolls Chinese Takeout General Tso's Chicken Chinese Takeout Fried Rice The one that delighted me the most was the General Tso's. When I ate it a day later and the chicken was still crispy was like discovering that I had cast a magic spell. Mad props to Jason for the intense research and dedication to trial and error until success.

One of our favorites! Thanks for doing this recipe. Still hoping to see your take on the Barbacoa. The internet recipes are good but no where near what Chipotle's Barbacoa tastes like. Theirs is nothing like an authentic version but it's great nonetheless.

[@cmellowdee]

1:00 Thank you, thank you, God bless you for this excellent point about the canned adobo sauce so many online recipes refer to. It’s precisely why I have yet to try any of them. I’m so looking forward to trying yours!

[@todddaniel6539]

Fantastic combo video Mr. Farmer!! Tip of the hat to you, the consistency you maintain across your videos really REALLY shines when you make videos like this and it is difficult (neigh impossible) to see where you (or your editor) merges those clips. Great work as always, and this one shows off your(and or your editors) top tier technical expertise too!

Seeing HEB in your video and fan girling as a fellow Texanite! After 2xing through your whole video and then going to your other list of videos and seeing CHIK-FIL-A replica (drool), I was just like omg this guy has a video for my top outdoor favs!!

I’ve experimented a bit and if you can’t get morita chipotles, 2oz of Meco and 6oz of ancho gets you in the ballpark. The adobo leads to a nearly identical version of chipotles steak provided its left to marinate for long enough and you cook it correctly

[@farmageddon]

Chipotle is waaay past its golden era. The food I get there now (on the rare occasion I end up going there) is a sloppy mess. Your rolling skills are WAY better than their employees.

[@alechall7082]

Chipotle as a buisness did really well this year. From a quality standpoint, only one of them out of about 5 in my area is still worth going to. The rest of them can't even cook the rice, nevermind the chicken.

Have you ever experimented with a barbacoa recipe? Most recipes online call for chipotles in adobo, and I agree with you, they don't quite cut it in any of the barbacoa recipes I've tried.

do you still need to wash the rice if you're cooking it via the pasta method? wouldnt the extra water absorb the surface starch?

[@farmageddon]

I still do it. But it's probably not necessary.

[@pretendtobenormal8064]

Looks like you used the Gaba Brown setting on your Zojirushi (I have the same model). Is that the best setting for nailing the Chipotle rice's texture or will the regular Brown setting work as well?

[@farmageddon]

I would use the regular brown rice setting if you have it. I think mine just auto selects the GABA setting. I need to look into that because it sprouts the brown rice. Which is fine, but the brown rice at Chipotle isn't sprouted. It's just cooked regular.

what is difference between tomatillos and tomatoes is it tomatillo raw form of tomatos

[@CarelessForce]

They come from different plants, not just the same thing picked at different ripeness or whatever.

[@aSentientJarOfEyes]

a tomatillo is a green, unripe tomato. they cant really be eaten raw but theyre very good when charred/grilled. theyre alot less sweet than a ripe tomato, more savory/sour

[@lamemechose7072]

Tomatillos are not tomatoes, and they’re really not even close. It’s one of those very misleading names (see also: horseradish). They’re apparently related to the gooseberry though. Some places/seasons I can’t get tomatillos, so I sub plum tomatoes. The flavor is definitely different- and I think nowhere near as good - but it’s definitely better to use plum tomatoes than to skip the salsa altogether.
