I watched this video before I started cooking 4 years ago. Until today, those are the most perfectly diced onions I’ve ever seen in my life.

[@partykrew666]

no joke, that is the most perfectly diced onion I've ever seen.

[@17teacmrocks]

for real

[@vladimirvaynkhadler8726]

3 mich star bud

[@BentLeey]

Years & years of experience lead up to....perfectly diced onions! Lol jk Chef David Kinch is amazing!

[@CaseyRuleMusic]

I believe this should be titled "Polenta with Strawberry Sofrito"

[@ItumelengS]

two years on and the title has not changed

[@maniswolftoman]

“Wabi sabi. Beauty is in the imperfections.” I believe you have never made a sofrito and don’t understand how much the flavors get intensified in the cooking process...

[@twiggy695]

Chef Kinch looks at Chef Fox like his so just graduated with honours. Love them both

[@HansKoch]

Nice to see you both back in the Kitchen together ;)

[@Gourmet_Goon80]

I don't know if anyone got the "slow and low" reference, but I can assume that David Kinch is a Beastie Boys fan.

[@wheelerlight8541]

Love Kinch, but him and Fox together create this really interesting dynamic. Very wabisabi dish.

[@MikeEswed]

beautiful!

“ Butta make it taste mo betta “

[@bovko1]

"Buttah make it taste more bettah"

[@SiaAyrom]

The flavor combination of pine nuts and strawberry is a tip of the hat to the ancient Persian flavors of Fesenjoon which is typically made with pomegranate and walnuts

[@MusikAlltid]

Those things taste worlds apart though.

[@100nujabes]

MusikAlltid he prob means that from the conceptual aspect

[@Warhammer416]

@@MusikAlltid not after they've been cooked down for that long

[@mmm37221]

Nope

[@markkannon884]

what knife is David using at 0.53? i really want it or something very similar

[@jd5787]

Mark Kannon looks like a 4" utility knife

[@adog7474]

Mark Kannon hard to tell but looks like a misono ux10 petty based on the angle of the heel/bolster.

[@rubenbari]

soffritto it's with double f and t. Nice idea for a dessert.

[@MalakianM2S]

That depends, it could be with singe f and t. Sofrito is not an exclusive italian word, nor original.

[@jays1752]

Jay S 0 seconds ago Finally! someone has figured out what to do with the strawberry... "turns it into something delicious"? What?!?!

[@marleyreagan297]

High Level Dish

[@sundarpichai940]

For some reason, I'm not convinced that that would taste good

[@DroPsyDro]

vid labeling:...takes ripe strawberries....and turns them into something delicious. Are you serious?

[@vladimirvaynkhadler8726]

waynes world reference no wheyyy whey

[@DroPsyDro]

can somevody explain what "seperated oil in it" means?

[@a_pet_rock]

If you look at the sauce, it's slick and oil drips off of it. The oil is separate. In classic French sauces, this is always a flaw.

[@bluevomit2361]

Exactly, the fat is not emulsionated but broken

[@Matzes]

Blue Vomit * emulsified

[@bluevomit2361]

No, this is just an awful idea, as an italian the idea of polenta and strawberry is just way too off. There is not a main ingredient here, polenta is a side like a potato mash for example and soffritto as well...i can't see the subject in this dish...i mean: What is that??

[@tmv866]

The comment about the strawberries being cooked down and transformed into something savory, similar to tomatoes, lends itself to something more like shrimp and grits from the American south. Using polenta rather than grits is more of a texture thing.

[@zacablaster]

You haven't tasted this dish, how can you pass judgement on it?

[@joedavies50]

zacablaster No no you don’t understand, they’re Italian!!

[@Kuchenrolle]

He already told you how. Just be Italian.

[@ItumelengS]

What a piss take, you Italians with this knowitall attitude are boring asf. Stick to your boring tomato, others are going out there to explore new dishes, whilst you latch on to your old ideas. Pathetic really
