CATERING a taco bar for 100 PEOPLE? ...not easy...

I was hired to cook tacos for 100 gamers at Casey Neistat’s 368 for the release of EA’s Battlefield Firestorm. I’ll take you behind the scenes of how I shopped, prepped, cooked and served an authentic Mexican-style taco bar and fresh churros for a 100 hungry gamers and creators. Follow the journey…and the drama as I tackle one of my biggest feats yet.

8+ hours of random footage turned into a 22 minute video...its a new kind of video for me. You guys like this kind of format? Let me know what you think!

[@notavegan4722]

I loved it! More please😊

[@debbiemarquis3231]

Nice...

[@CatboyCooks]

Great video! Cool to see behind the scenes of what it takes to pull off the food for an event like this.

[@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW]

Catboy Cooks needed the little guy as my Sous chef! Lol

[@jesusmorillo1149]

Please bring more like this it’s interesting and more content

[@craigbain1645]

Bro your definitely a chef. You wrote, procured, and executed the menu. Much props on that. I know from experience the stresses of that. Quick thinking on the broiler. Ive known many a line cooks that would have crashed under such circumstances. Congrats dude

[@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW]

That's nice to hear dude. Thank you for that! Much love

[@TokyoBlue587]

NOT ANOTHER COOKING SHOW I agree! This experience should give you confidence to call yourself a professional chef, not just a cook. Not many people could have pulled that event off so well, and with a dodgy oven no less!

[@luandyelam6097]

Definitely agree with you. I just can't imagine doing such thing. This guy is awesome in many ways!

[@GKizer]

I've worked for a caterer (Kellogg Catering). All the planning changes the moment you hit the event location, always ;). Grats on thinkin on your feet with the broiler!

[@Berdymadafakas]

the way you pulled it off in the end even though you were procrastinating and put the work in motivated me to write my school papers lmao

[@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW]

Hahaha so glad I edited the way I did. I thought that would be relatable to someone. Glad that someone was you! Thanks my friend. Hope you ace it

[@littlesammyh]

Mate, I reckon you added a bit too much egg to your Choux pastry. if you make again mix just enough egg to get the batter to a dropping consistency... with it being a bit thicker you'd get the star shape pattern from the piping tip when you're piping it! 3 years as a pastry chef at a Spanish restaurant means I crack out hundreds of churros a week!

[@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW]

Yea that’s what I realized. I basically just took a recipe and tripled it. But it didn’t really translate. I’ve researched since then...wish I had that back a bit but they still tasted good. They were more like zeppolis in cinnamon sugar

[@elizabethgao9403]

Jesus man. I cooked for 50 people with 2 other people and I was dead. I dont know how you did it man. Youre awesome

[@nickzalan4762]

You and the churro dilemma😂 "We'll get the guacamole going. Wanna start making the dough for the churros?" "Yea" *works on guacamole*

Amazing! Congratulations on shattering your own mental barrier! Love the videos and genuine energy you bring. Best of luck in all your future endeavors!

Looks like you did a great job considering the obstacles you had to deal with. You adapted well and still got the job done. That's the sign of a motivated person. Great job!

[@Ena48145]

Why aren't there more views? This video is incredible. My mouth is watering as I type this Edit: I'm back after the video. I had no idea this was your first big gig and wouldn't have had a clue otherwise. The presentation killed and you handled everything like such a pro and it was led by your passion for food. I have that same passion but I would have crumbled. Congrats and I hope you have many more to come

[@wallacesmith8634]

It’s not how much you know, it’s how much you love what you do know . Congrats Chef

[@allenlukas5315]

This was cool. Food looked banging. Congrats! I hope you do more videos like this.

[@NiueanSuperMan]

Coming in a bit late but this was amazing to see! The amount of work and care that went into that is amazing. Please keep these up if you can!

[@stluanne]

I relate to your worry and your sense of responsibility as a "home cook"who loves to cook for others and I understand the feeling of "I really want to get this right." And then when you nail it, the feeling is so wonderful!! I really love your videos AND your incredible recipes. You inspire me so... thanks!

[@MrOttomobile7]

Loved it! love your passion for coking and perfection!

[@SalehAlderazi]

Steve! God bless you and Jen for getting through that! And to be able to trim hours of footage into 20 minutes and still not let us feel like we're left out of what looked like a kick-ass party! All power to you. The food looked great, and as far as churros go, you can roll rocks into cinnamon sugar and people will still devour them. I think your churro dough looked too runny, which might have been why they didn't take to the ridges of the piping tip. I usually pipe them out into a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze them for about 20 minutes to firm up and then fry them at 350° F and they come out great. But honestly bro, that looked amazing, and great to see you laugh at the end, that shows how much you loved it. Oh, and please try to get that lady from the supermarket to come cook with you, would love to see Caribbean food on the show!

[@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW]

I actually wanted to pipe them oout first and then freeze them but logistically that became and issue and I had to just do it. I'm gonna try and nail them on my show though.

[@aks1951]

The main thing I learned in this video is that there’s cooking in your kitchen for yourself at your own pace then there’s cooking for a group of people. It’s a completely different game. You killed it 💪🏼

[@Robertoell777]

Wow man! this ended up on my recommendations and what a great video. I got stressed just thinking about the whole logistics behind it and man you owned it properly, also foreseeing that any inconveniences could come up and you could prepare for it really proves your work ethic. Props man.

I just found you about a week ago. Its a pleasure to see a person who cares and really tries to make things good. Simple idea. lot of work. I did the same in my restaurants. And everything I do. Its almost sexy watching a person put together something well. It doesn't matter if its a great mechanic, a cook, or even a programmer. It's wonderful to watch a skilled person who cares.

[@itslikethat5456]

How does this dude stay so slim. I quit smoking, found a love of cooking and food and gained ten extra pounds. In a way, I wish food wasn't so damn good, but then, when you cook and eat a new creation, you're really glad it does. I could do without the extra pounds.

No small feat cooking for 100, you did well! Felt like I was there, watching the entire time great video quality. Improvisation in cooking is key I think, so great workaround for the mushrooms. You ARE a chef in that your passion for food is clearly evident. Kudos all around!

I can't imagine the joy in making food everyone loves every day. Must be so fullfilling.

Recently discovered your channel and have already cooked some amazing dishes under your tuliage. Cooking is my hobby and it's one thing I can do to "Disconnect" from life's problems. You NAILED it under intense pressure and issues. I have to mirror what many in the comments have already said.....You are a Chef not just a cook. And a Chef that I lean on to learn how to make amazing dishes. I still have to work on the confidence and the most I have cooked for was 15 for a Christmas dinner. Standing Rib Roast and many sides. The anxiety was through the roof but when I watched everyone enjoying what I created.....That was GOLD!!!!! Thank you for sharing your art!

[@primedirective00]

What a cool opportunity.. I can't even believe you filmed while you were doing all of this. Sopapillas would have been the easy route but you went 100% full speed ahead into the unknown with the churros and I have all the respect for the effort and willingness to take the risk. You killed it.. can't wait to see what you come up with next.
