"Dirty like dis." (Smiles)

[@gmdod10]

+Darwin's Beer Reviews you could see the excitement in that smile. My favorite onion soup memories as a kid (probably still now) are of chipping that cheese off the crock.

[@glipglobs6679]

His passion for food is priceless, that part where is says: " the plate should be dirty, like this😏😏." hilarious😂😂😂

[@cupcake702]

“If you don’t have a broiler, just use your commercial grade blow torch”

[@colbymorillo9977]

Jackie QB anyone who is serious about cooking has one

[@Gravy_Master]

Standard hand-held blow torch. $15 at any department or hardware store.

[@dm7066]

This guy is awesome I love that people still pay attention detail and treat food as a form of art

[@Marinette007]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! tres, tres bon. O.M.G. so good. Thank YOU!! I am going to go to my kitchen and try to make the ONION SOUP just like you -Mr. Super Chef- did it. Merci bien!! January 14, 2018

[@kitkat586]

This looks SO good!

[@Bdubsy]

hate to be the dishwasher washing that bowl. looks good though

[@solidkingcobra]

(THERE WILL BE CHEESE) sounds like an awesome movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis.

[@Amozmusicmaker]

I DRINK YOUR ONION SOUP

[@zolkination]

Perfect 👌👌👌

[@vacationboyvideos]

I would ask for a layer of these before the bread

[@sparksoffyou]

At home,if you don’t have a broiler, just use your blow torch.

[@TTalksVA]

now THAT is union soup :O

[@chrismorris8196]

Don't have a broiler but luckily have my flame thrower right here

[@wellivea1]

Crunchy (not caramelized) onion soup?!

[@matthewtait7740]

What type of oil? Olive? Vegetable?

[@sillysallyceli]

Mmmmm yummy buy I wish he would have gone over the beef broth

[@fleshmoreblood]

I understand now why french people don't want to speak english. :D

[@linlupin]

It doesn't sound good the other way around either. But it sounds really funny when my dad, who is somewhat fluent in French, speaks in Spanish(he's learning) with a French accent XD

[@thrillerinvincible]

O N I O N S

[@khristiankhouri8732]

lol at home if you dont have a broiler just use a blow torch

[@xHighPotencyx]

Did I just watch a Frenchman use pre-sliced cheese and blowtorch the top of his soup?

[@linlupin]

It's not hard to slice cheese, he probably did it earlier for aesthetic

[@intractablemaskvpmGy]

He wasted a good third of the cheese! A lot ended up on the baking sheet. Food cost! And the recipe is a little more complex than that right? It's just not beef stock but there's stuff like white wine and cognac etc in there. Maybe that part didn't make it through the editing.

[@Char12403]

Having cheese coming off the side of the bowl is part of the soup. It's expected for the soup to have too much cheese on it and I'm sure they're not undercharging for it.

[@rabshakattack]

they slice it in their restaraunt for easy application.

[@skyraven89]

His French accent is the most origins thing I’ve ever seen it almost feels like it’s made up😂

[@ericdavanzo8177]

Did anyone miss the nitro canisters next to the oven?

[@bpcpforever]

does chicken stock work?

[@shanebonanno5961]

Not traditional, but i don't see why not. Just avoid using store bought if you can.

[@silog21]

He couldn't be more French.

[@MeDmAnQcA]

This man been out of france a while. Those onions weak af

[@Max112023]

his accent is so french it almost sounds fake xD

[@pierepierouu3617]

The guy is like heyyyy i am french notice me , did you hear my accent Or he is getting payed by how french he sounds

[@thyduck7542]

You make blowtorching soup sound fancy.

[@birdieoutofnest]

I HAVE THE SAME LAST NAME

[@TheBeautifulDisaster]

Birdie Out Of Nest I

[@noemiepaul4434]

I'm french french and I didn't understand half the words I said

[@user-hm9mj1hc3j]

Appetizing, but I don't waste cheese like that, cheese is good, cheese is life.

[@aldolopez9564]

Do I have to pay for the cheese he wasted?

[@adrianaoliveirasantos]

Deliciosa!!!!

[@greggwllms]

The look on his face when he says to get the bowl dirty is the creepiest thing I have seen in a long time

[@Pamelatralala]

I'm not going to clean that mess!

[@jayfeath3r566]

jesus christ that accent is killing me lolol

[@emilymakai]

Somehow his accent totally distracted me from his full tattoo sleeves. God damn he's fine.

[@lemonminus1589]

Emily Dufty wow you're thirsty. I mean me too. But yea hes fine

[@justagerman140]

you do not want the bowl to be 'dirty like dis' - ever!

[@seanmcdonagh6237]

Is this guy French?

[@samuelapril-fiederer4880]

Sean McDonagh yes i recognize i am too

[@Manueleme1987]

this soup there is great but it has WAY TOO MUCH pepper

[@WzrdKing]

proof that not all french people can cook

[@DrinkWater713]

Proof youtube has world class "experts" in the comments of every video

[@jinjuujii2152]

Looka delicious, must be a fucker to clean.

[@cineplecks]

he's so cute with his sound effects but still hot as fuck

[@-alcalpy-1578]

on yawn

[@philj212]

what a waste of cheese

[@louisa420]

for art!

[@user-pp5ri9dq4y]

he wasted so much of that cheese.....it was all on the baking sheet and the side the bowl.....I would demand every last bit of that burnt cheese on my plate!!!

[@MarkWoodChannel]

Really not a how to, the stock is the key. Use a pre-made box stock and it will suck guaranteed,

[@KountryStateOfMind]

we use bigger bowls we want to eat the damn cheese not scrub it off the pan and bowl

[@phillipsmom6252]

swampmammytheone ... Sorry, but that's classic French onion soup. Picking the cheese off the side of the bowl is the best part.

[@huguesdoriane]

My arrogance is going to be as french as his (exagerated) accent, but this is a VERY bad recipe for oignon soup... He misses flour, butter, thym, wine, Armagnac (or Cognac) and good quality cheese. This is just oignons in stock.

[@LoveGixx]

.. who TF chose this ridiculous theme song!?.. sounds like some sort of a mission to save someone like you see in film..

[@idkidk1433]

I’m sure it tastes fine but dude, no butter, no herbs, no wine, and CRUNCHY ONIONS?! Also your finger was on top of the knife... no one who knows what they’re doing in a kitchen does that. And here I was thinking it would look amazing just cuz of his accent lol
