GORDON FAILED A GRILLED CHEESE?! | Uncle Roger Reaction

[@Malcorpse]

I'm like 90% sure this video was a producer going to Gordan saying they messed up and needed an upload for youtube and this is what they came up with with what they had on hand.

[@marianarobles7735]

That's kinda what happened actually, during an interview Gordon did on the Mythical Kitchen youtube channel they talked about that sandwich and Gordon said it was his media manager's (or publicist, I don't remember) fault, they told him it looked great and was going to be ok, Gordon wasn't sure to post it but they did anyway

[@myphone4590]

So the Jamie Oliver "shelf" problem.

[@AlbertoMartinez765]

He later said the sandwich was awful, it was a last min deal and he had to use whatever was on hand at the time😅😅

[@marianarobles7735]

@ No, they talked about this specific grilled cheese sandwich video since this it the one that became a huge meme of him, as me and another person already said, Gordon explained in the interview with Mythical Kitchen that they were in a rush because they needed to record a video for social media and they had very little time to do so, it was a brand deal and had to use whatever he had on had because due to time constraints they couldn't go on to get more stuff and after the video was done his social media manager told him it was fine and even though Gordon wasn't sure of posting the video, his team did anyway which led to all this.

[@somedudewatchintv5297]

I'm pretty sure there are meltable fancy cheeses too. I believe chef Brian Tsao brought up an example or 2 when he reacted to this.

[@GeatMasta]

he explained it on an episode of mythical kitchen (the good mythical morning spinoff) i think it was that he had to film something for the channel that day, and just used all the ingredients in the air BNB to make something.

[@Heiryuu]

@@GeatMastaI don’t believe that for a second. Considering when he went to make a grilled cheese as a redemption he fucked it up even worse.

[@IONATVS]

@@somedudewatchintv5297yeah most soft cheeses-gouda, gruyere, provolone, cheddar, mozzarella, fontina, taleggio, raclette, etc will melt at least decently, and any cheese can be MADE meltable with the same process and additives used to turn Cheddar into American. He just seemed VERY rushed in this video.

[@MessyGamer616]

honestly he could have used the exact same cheeses and just grated them, mix em together, cut that bread to about half the thickness of the slices, and done it on the stovetop over medium low without the kimchi and it would've turned out perfectly fine. maybe trim a bit of the edges off the bread near the sides going in contact with the pan so that the crust doesn't keep the bread from pressing on the surface.

[@-Offstar]

Gordon actually talks about the grilled cheese in an interview he does with Josh from Mythical Kitchen. Video is "Gordon Ramsay Eats His Last Meal" I suggest watching it. Anyways basically he was confronted by his social media manager saying that they needed a video and they needed it fast. So he didn't have ANY time to prepare and had to make it with whatever he had on hand. And so that was what came out of it. Gordon was actually against using it but was told no it's fine and they used it.

[@dragonbretheren]

22:08 to answer Alicia's question of why would Gordon post this video? Gordon did a series called Ramsay Around the World where he travelled to other countries and cooked their local cuisine. For example, his very good Nasi Goreng (Indonesian fried rice) came from this series when he visited Indonesia. I think Tasmania didn't really have an "iconic dish" in this same manner, so he did a grilled cheese with local ingredients instead as a sort of placeholder. I think he acknowledged he knew it wasn't good. Thus, I think he probably only posted it to be able to justify the expense of the trip to Tasmania. Edit: yeah, just went back to the original video to double-check. The concept of the Tasmania episode was Gordon stayed at the house of a local cheese maker, so this sandwich was intended to spotlight their cheese. I do think the flavors of the rustic bread, the pepperberry and assiago cheeses, and the kimchi would have made a delicious hor d'oeuvre, framing it more as a cheese toast. But because he called it a "grilled cheese", we're all evaluating it on a different mindset.

[@Heiryuu]

The best part is Gordon keeps doubling down and even when he admitted he fucked up he still fucked up by claiming the pan wasn’t hot enough

[@KarmasAB123]

When the actual problem is that the pan is TOO hot XD

[@nathanielrotskull2349]

Gordon does this from time to time. He tries to be extra fancy and destroys everything in the process.

15:17 chat: "I don't like Gordon whispering on my ear about grilled cheese" I do, next question.

[@josephthiel9695]

If you have never tried it, tips for a good grilled cheese. 1. Toast the inside of the bread too, the oil from the cheese will have a harder time getting into the bread and it will not get soggy. 2. I recommend Colby and Edam cheese for a good flavor with a creamy cheese pull. 3. While the cheese is in the sandwich and cooking toss a lid on to steam it and get the cheese fully melted. 4. If you want something extra put a little garlic powder in the butter before to toast the bread it will add another layer to your flavor.

[@mournwood]

Something to add: if you are going to do the lid, try cooking the sandwich open-faced, with cheese on both sides. You can get in double the cheese, and since the cheese is exposed to the heat directly, it will melt faster. You can also toss a tiny bit of water at one edge of the pan before putting on the lid and the steam will accelerate melting even more (but only if you have a pan where the water will stay put, don't want it sliding over to the bread)

[@redspyke8227]

I need you to make all of my grilled cheeses

[@siukong]

I've heard good things about using Gruyere for a nice gooey grilled cheese, if you're going fancy with it. Though I haven't gotten the chance to try it for myself yet.

[@izzy1356]

Seconding 4. I sprinkle seasonings on the buttery side *all the time* before cooking it, and have never looked back. 💕 It's also a super easy way to get creative with flavors as well if you're not interested in experimenting with the cheese.

[@milesclayborne]

for anyone who's curious: American cheese is just a cheddar blend with an emulsifier added. the reason it melts so easily is because chemically it contains more water than other cheeses and because it is an emulsion, the oils don't separate out of it when it's heated, like other cheeses.

[@apexprimebest]

You may not have noticed but you have just explained why it is not a cheese.

[@Jaker788]

Legal definition of non processed cheese, but still cheese, it just has to be called processed cheese because it has additional ingredients that change it's properties for melting and stuff.​@@apexprimebest

[@DavidRomigJr]

Good American cheese is technically a process cheese but looks and feels just like others hard cheeses and is quite good. There’s also versions of American cheese that are process cheese food such as “Kraft Singles” which are an artificial looking softish cheese that has a high amount of added water and/or oils whose slices are individually wrapped. I don’t think they taste bad but they are a different beast, more of a cheese flavored product than cheese.

[@andrelee7081]

​@apexprimebest no, it's basically a cheese sauce so thick that it's solid at room temp. But that is very different from calling it fake cheese as many are wont to do.

[@apexprimebest]

@ cheese sauce is still not a cheese ffs. It is made from cheese but it is no longer a cheese. Will you call a pasta carbonara a cheese just because it has pecorino cheese as one of the ingredients?

He talked about it in an interview IIRC. Probably didn't even source the ingredients himself, was just like, all he really had in the place and had to fake it.

[@voxorox]

Anybody else remember the Alexa commercial where Gordon tore into a guy over trying to look up the "recipe" for a grilled cheese?

[@voxorox]

Also: The only way I've ever messed up a grilled cheese is if I couldn't get the cheese to melt right. Still a good sandwich though. And I love to add garlic on mine, like making the two slices of bread into garlic bread and putting the garlic on the inside of the sandwich against the cheese. Also also: For anything that grills or toasts the bread... Give me Brioche every time. There's a brand that sells sliced loaves of brioche. SO good. Cheddar, brioche bread, butter and garlic, and lots of times some tomato soup on the side.

[@devonm042690]

If Gordon was served his 'Ultimate Grilled Cheese' on one of his shows he would throw the plate at the wall when he went back to the kitchen. It's burnt _and_ raw, and has a clashing flavor profile. Also, he spoke of adding kimchi for the acidity, but the cheeses he used were aged, sharp cheeses. Aged and sharp cheeses are acidic, so adding kimchi for acidity is overdoing it.

[@1saak1]

just going to leave this here. Gordon Ramsay on a TikTok response circa 2021 "Oh hold on a minute, girl, I was in Tasmania! They don't have grills in Tasmania" "OK, maybe I didn't put it in the pan long enough. I was in a rush."

It's literally just cheese that they added some water/milk to and a tiny amount of emulsifiers so that it doesn't break. It's literally like saying a pan of mac & cheese doesn't use cheese because you made it into a cheese sauce first. It's one of those internet overcorrections.

[@gamemule2929]

The difference is between actual american cheese, and american "Cheese" that is often called the same thing but is not. In America there are many brands of pre-packaged brands that call it "Pasteurized Processed Cheese Food" it's a "Cheese Food" not actual cheese. Or worse, "Pasteurized Processed Cheese Spread"... "Cheese Spread", not actual cheese; it still comes pre-packaged in slices, but it's absolutely foul and leaves a nasty residue on the roof of your mouth.

[@oblivious8868]

A nice grilled cheese paired with a hot soup is such comfort. It's not really something that needs to be all fancy, though I will say that using mayo instead of butter for cooking the bread really does elevate it, and I say this as someone who don't like mayo. It lasts longer than butter, has a higher smoking point so harder to burn, and helps any seasoning you add to the bread adhere way better. Also, poor Alicia's mom took psychic damage from that alleged butter chicken. Also also, Taka jumpscare was great. Lastly, don't have faith in chat. We enjoy schadenfreude way too much.

The constant wet weather that ruins the ability to, historically, save good food. That he would do that to grilled cheese... when it is a simple: 2 slices of store bought wheat/white/sourdough bread, covered in butter with a 3 slice mixture or any of the following: Provolone (personal favorite due to the melting texture and the ability to add seasoning during or a condiment AFTER cooking) American Cheddar Motz (processed slices) Pepper jack Gouda (Processed slices) Munster (Processed slices, normally 1 with other cheeses) AND I'M AWARE, that is OVER-COMPLICATING it right there.

To be fair at Gordon it's just a regular grilled cheese sandwich at least it's not like a national dish like curry rice or something else

[@thewestfire9729]

I’ve found a new way to make grilled cheese. Do as Roger says and toast both side of bread so that the cheese starts to melt, but then flip the cheese directly on the pan until it starts to sear. Then combine with the other half of sandwich. The cheese pull is amazing.

[@bernieburton6520]

British people try to make grilled cheese way too fancy. It's just cheese, bread and butter. That's literally all it needs to be perfect.

[@salk-e8346]

He doesn't do it that way because he's British, he does it cause' hes a gourmet chef lmao

[@bernieburton6520]

Sorted Foods had British chefs doing the exact same thing. Trying to make fancy grilled cheese sandwiches.

[@FroggerbobT]

Burning a sandwich is truly one of the cooking skills of all time. I don't think even Jamie Olive Oil could fuck up that badly.

[@Gantzz321]

I love that Roger didn't even call him out on the SANDWICH SWAP OUT. Different sandwich on the 2 cutting boards than it was just 2 seconds before at the fireplace.

[@amashizaino]

There's a meme about some old Nana calling it a 'Carcoochie board', and I've heard others call it a 'Shark Coochie' board too. Makes me laugh every time! XD

[@redrovaeden5143]

imagine being able to make so many complicated dishes masterfully that you completely forget how to make simpler dishes? 😂

2:40 How I make my grilled cheese (It takes longer, but the result is, IMO, far superior): Ingredients - 2 slices of sourdough bread, sliced 1/2" to 3/4" thick - 3/4 tbsp to 1 tbsp butter for each slice of bread - 1 slice of havarti cheese (herbed havarti is best, but all I can ever seem to find here in Wyoming is dill havarti.) - 1 slice of swiss cheese - 1 slice of sharp cheddar (or Gloucester if you wanna be fancy) 1. Melt the butter for 1 slice at low heat. 2. When melted, soak one side of the sourdough bread slice. Then set it aside. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second slice of bread. 4. Trim the cheese slices so they will fit on the bread. Eat the leftover cheese trimmings. 5. Make the sandwich with the cheese. 6. Keep the pan at low heat and add the sandwich. 7. Flip the sandwich every 4 minutes until you see melted cheese oozing out. You might need to turn up the heat if you prefer a grilled cheese that is not-quite burnt. Optional: I've heard that adding mayonnaise makes a better sandwich. I don't like mayonnaise, so I've been meaning to try Boar's Head Pub Style Horseradish Sauce, but I keep forgetting about it when I make grilled cheese.

The only acidity a grill cheese needs is with it's favorite companion, tomato soup

[@Tarodan]

To the people saying this was a troll video, this was filmed during one of his Natural Geographic travel shows. I 100% guarantee this was the producers handing him stupid shit.

[@wargboyz]

that was the best/funniest intro I've seen in a minute. so cheese

[@dustindurham6825]

Another tip to protect the bread while also giving some crunch and flavor is to, after buttering the bread, coat the butter side with powdered parmesan. The parmesan is harder to burn but still allows the cheese to melt.

[@Flamquill]

Funny that Taka jokes around with the word "pho" for a moment since I know a restaurant that's called Pho King Eggroll.

[@Vincisomething]

As a kid, there was this local place I used to go to with my dad and brother that made grilled cheese. They put pickles in it, which I didn't like as a kid but tried again as an adult. As someone who is also half Korean, putting kimchi in grilled cheese would be gross to my child and adult self. If you want acidity just use pickles if you want to be a little extra with it. I don't know if putting pickles on grilled cheese was just that restaurant, but it was near Portland OR lol. I don't think I ever knew the name of it.

[@Force2reckonVods]

Also, after this event Gordon had a lot of (genuinely it seems) fun taking the piss out of himself online and eventually made a new Grilled Cheese which "redeemed" him (though it was more of a melt)

[@myphone4590]

Quick and dirty grilled cheese: toast two slices white bread, put 2 slices american cheese between them, microwave for 10 seconds. You can butter the toast if you're feeling posh. (Toasting dries bread out and microwaving makes it soggy, the two cancel out here.) The whole prep time is like a minute and if you microwave it on a paper towel there aren't even any dishes.

[@AlbertoMartinez765]

Making that right now ty

[@sogesunkun9671]

YES! She's reacting to Gordon's Grilled Cheese video! YES!! She's doing her adorable intro! I am happy.

[@PrivateDevilZenchannel]

he didn't make a grill cheese, he made a portable Shartusary board.

[@franciscopenajr3909]

1:56 And his excuse for the failed grilled cheese is that he was in Tasmania and that they didn't have any grills there.

[@ImmortalbornStarclad]

As amusement, jamie Oliver's grilled cheese video was actually good.

[@Xenobears]

I usually hear it as Shar-cutter-ee board when people in Florida say the word.
