It's always great to see what Uncle Fester and Eddie have cooked up!

[@StrobeFireStudios]

What's up, dude! I was told by my butcher that ground beef is just all the left over trimmings when they butcher the animal into clean cuts/portions. It all gets ground together and you end up with the ground beef. Sometimes it's fattier, sometimes it's leaner. I love that about ground beef. It's so versatile. Thanks to you and the team for your hard work. Really means a lot to watch you cook stuff I love to eat

[@scottdalon801]

I'm from the New Orleans area and can confirm Hum Bruh is a saying that can mean many things. It can mean disappointment, it can mean yes, it's a lot of things. You used it perfectly in your video.

[@monkeygraborange]

OK, that second recipe with the pita looked life changing!

[@jonmsimpson]

Areyas is an awesome way to eat up some ground beef, even more amazing with lamb. As Sonny mentioned, fill the pitas to about 1/4 inch and you can just fry them completely in the pan with no oven time needed. Great way to have a quick cooking dinner in the hot summer months. Highly recommend grating your onion to a fine paste over the beef so all the enzymes in the onion help break down the beef giving it an almost meatball like texture. I usually pre the beef mix in the morning and let it chill out in the fridge for a few hours or even overnight to really get all those flavors developed. Really good with tzatiki as well if you don't care for tahini.

Thank you for explaining how to wash rice in ALL of your rice videos! Some might find it repetitive, but my sister just watched you for the first time with me and she was like, "How do you wash rice?" and you're like, "Glad you asked let me show you." You deserve a TV show for real.

[@andrewsparkes6275]

There's honestly no need to anymore, unless you're specifically trying to reduce the starch content (at which point soaking it for a few hours does a better job than a quick wash anyway). With how it's processed nowadays, rice is already one of the cleanest ingredients in a kitchen.

[@becki_booo]

Nah he's has 2 million followers ..tv is unnecessary.

[@PinkTigger33]

Finally, someone who has the proper ratio of rice to water!!! The directions on the bag always yield soggy, sticky, mushy rice. Thank you for getting it right, and for not using an InstaPot or rice cooker.

[@rdek99]

I felt so vindicated the day I first heard Sonny explain his rice to water ratio ... people always looked at me funny when I disagreed with their 1:2.

[@maevrik]

It really depends on the rice you're using. The longer the grains are, the more water you need

[@McNasty43]

Depends on the type of rice you're cooking and WHAT you're cooking it in. My everyday go-to is Royal basmati rice, which I do 2:1 on the stove, but reduce the liquid to 1 3/4:1 for a pressure cooker or sealed rice cooker since there's less evaporation taking place.

[@justina.6769]

Ya'll need to quit washing your onions! That onion punch makes you feel alive! 🤪😆🤣

[@lisag8610]

[@picho74]

So for the Arays, I take the liberty to comment as this is a local dish for me. First - the tahini does not need yogurt, not acceptable here sorry… and always use ice water as it will keep it light instead of yellow. The meat mix must contain lamb fat for flavor, and definitely more fat. We use a grill, not a pan, fluffy fat pita bread - not the skinny one you use and we brush it with olive oil and cover it with paprika, cumin and sumac. The combination of meaty pita, fat filling and oily spiced external comes together to a crispy crust that locks the fat in the pita, which is fluffy enough to absorb the meat juices. A combination of flavor and textures. Hope this was helpful!

[@ratiquette]

Definitely do the stovetop rice video! I recently gave my rice cooker away because I found myself cooking rice in a pot most of the time, and I didn't want another appliance cluttering up my space. If I'm making at least one cup of rice, my pressure cooker does it faster. If I'm making less than a cup, I get more consistent results from a pot.

[@STV-H4H]

These three recipes make me want to try them asap. Deciding whether the first or third should be the first is the hardest part. Both look outstanding. The middle one would be the last to bother with since I’ve experienced that pocketless pita pocket problem and see no reason to go to the effort. That dirty rice, mmm.

Excellent recipe in the Larb. Flavors rock. However, I just couldn’t get into the toasted rice flour. I ground it, pulsed it in a food processor, and sifted it and it still felt gritty. Maybe toasted and cooked rice would work better for my western palate. Overall tastes like summer, just like you said (like I’m eating it at the beach and got a bit of sand in there LOL). Seriously, it is good!

You can absolutely cook dirty rice in a single pot. There's no need to pre-cook the rice. Just mix the stock with your ground beef/veggie/roux mixture, then add the uncooked rice. That's the traditional way to do it.

[@arak2551]

Lebanese style pita is very thin, usually larger (10 to 12 inches in diameter), and should separate easily. Also, it is made with flour, yeast, salt and water. The ones you showed looked industrial and probably contain tons of additives. Also, the layer of meat is typically thinner, which means you don’t need to put them in the oven. BTW, arayes, in Arabic, means “brides”. I’m not dissing thicker pita from Jordan and Palestine, btw, but this is a Lebanese dish.
