2 Chefs Try To Make A Meal Out Of Peanut Butter | Mystery Menu With Sohla and Ham | NYT Cooking

[@andrineslife]

The fact that they're doing all this in an hour while narrating it is so impressive!

[@maxpowr90]

Make Sohla and Ham an Iron Chef duo!

[@shammerHammer]

I think to some extend it may be helpful to narrate this. Potentially makes it easier to stay focused

[@user-kn2yk2qt9r]

We just witnessed two people open a Michelin star restaurant in one hour. Tweak this and that, get some more tables, and I’m gonna be lined up to eat!

[@pedroazevedoyamin9136]

And they had to wash some dishes meanwhile 👌

[@DuyNguyen-yx2vd]

This is easily my favorite episode so far. Not only did their creativity just explode over all the possibilities, but it really broke away from the "Ham does the dinner and Sohla does the dessert" pattern. This is full last-minute-high-school-project mode right here.

[@salintilley4406]

I also like that they had someone else taste their food and just slump over in foodgasm. I think theyre so technically gifted that they just critique

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

The fun bit was how they came up with a theme for themselves. Peanut butter could be a normal episode, but the PBJ angle was really creative.

[@ishtara9470]

Last minute high school project that somehow managed to score higher than that group over there that started working on theirs a week prior.

[@karu6111]

Yeah, this was reaaallly inspired. Like the ideas just pile on each other spontaneously. I’m a third of the way tho, so I’m not sure yet if they succeed lol

[@liriebora811]

these two are SUCH a joy to watch, I would love to see many many more episodes of Ham and Sohla just vibin together and being creative and bouncing ideas off of each other :')

[@savingpyro]

I'm so glad they decided to go with this format. I think after season one with Sohla going over time but also using Ham every episode, they gave this a shot and it was money. Like you said they're fun to watch, and they like to take thing completely over the top and it's hilarious.

[@CatsAndPokemon]

@@savingpyro Yeah their relationship really feels like "I married my best friend" lol

[@gabl1459]

Yes but vegan because now a days I feel like meat is a cheat in the creative process of food these days, kinda like a shortcut of deliciousness and would be for of a challenge for sure. A great learning experience at the least?

[@evafrade9366]

OMG please give me more of these two! Haha. To see them brainstorm is life.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

@@savingpyro There's a production team that knows what people want.

[@toadwartx]

The fact that this is the first episode where Sohla and Ham seemed remotely stressed or really pushed for time shows just how incredibly talented they are.

[@Awesumpye25]

Never stressed.

[@user-kn2yk2qt9r]

They weren’t even stressed in the gingerbread competition! Ham went home to walk their dogs halfway 😂 They are so talented and skilled. I always imagined this is how people trained for those Iron Chef or MasterChef competitions.

[@underthekevinfluence8079]

I want a never ending season of this. Sohla and Ham are the best!!!

[@ashleybernstein7786]

Yes! 1 million episodes please.

[@alisaishere]

I imagine them in their 90s, barely able to move, and still doing this, just maybe a 2 hour limit instead of 1.

[@nanamiharuka3269]

forreal! its like they were made for this type of show

[@PianoDude78]

There were made for each other

[@stacie2555]

Sohla calling raisins 'later grapes' was so entertaining. Love watching this duo in action!

[@PandaBearNead]

Over the last couple of years of watching sohla and thinking, “her husband has to be awesome because she is such a vibe” and I’m so happy Ham has gotten some air time because he is such a vibe too

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

And the two of them together are a double vibe.

[@PandaBearNead]

@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 An ultra vibe if you will.

[@horngatekeeper]

@@PandaBearNead a resonance.

[@stefansigurjonsson]

An interference pattern

[@Lyndonology]

There's something really cool about seeing people who are really good at their jobs, just showcase their skills. The talent and creativity of these two are amazing. To make so many dishes, that looked really good and might actually taste well in such a short space of time is mind-boggling. I don't know what else to say about them, except I hope to get a invite to dinner from them one day 😁

[@CT1010101]

For sure! That's how I feel about watching professional ballerinas and gymnasts too.

[@Lou-Mae]

"I felt very supported by you" - aw man, Ham is so lovely!

[@LucGendrot]

I feel like their restaurant experience really came through in this one, with the sounding off and just the sheer level of multitasking going on. Really great!

[@evercuriousmichelle]

I have learned throughout this series chefs are seriously efficient, fast, wizards of multitasking and speed! Holy cow that's hard work!

[@alisaishere]

@@evercuriousmichelle I wish more people got a look inside of a well trained restaurant kitchen. These two give a great example of it, but it goes beyond that. Because they are only working on "one ticket" (aka one table), the communication is just about that one ticket. But when you have multiple tickets and multiple stations (aka grill, sautee, fryer, garde manger, etc), you have to memorize what each of them say about the tickets you are working on so everything is timed correctly. No good kitchen wants to serve food that's had to sit waiting under the heat lamp because somebody messed up their timing.

[@AMES942]

this series brings me SO much joy to watch. Sohla is so fun to watch on her own, but watching her and Ham bounce ideas off each other and get really excited about every creative foodie adventure is just like a big warm hug

[@bonnie1303]

And love each other! Seeing them work together is so cozy and fun

[@titania642]

I think my favorite part was the beginning where they were bouncing ideas off of each other. You can see how much food excites them. But my actual favorite part was watching them cook together in such perfect harmony. And also my favorite part was when they debriefed at the end and gave each other sweet compliments. This is an excellent series!

[@lizh8041]

i LOVE how they really lean in to the challenges!!!! like sometimes i feel when people do challenges like this they really try to 'get around it' in some way - like when rie does 'make it fancy', sometimes it feels like its a lot of other ingredients to hide the thing she's making fancy. but here they're just like. this is PEANUT BUTTER. they really highlight that it's peanut butter and they are INSANE and make five courses instead of two. i LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!

[@tiacho2893]

Not leaning would be boring to watch. Sohla and Ham have energy and talent that makes this amazing to watch. And being able to eye ball a lot of this stuff? WOW!

[@oliverscales4484]

This show is so good yall better keep giving sohla and ham their coin for this magic!!!

[@sunblock8717]

After the Bon Appetit debacle, I'm sure their contract with the New York Times is air-tight

[@RowanStella]

I'm so glad the producers and everyone involved were smart enough to say 'Hey, this works better. Let's bring Ham into it.' Honestly, I love these two together.

[@robversus]

This hit like 24 straight minutes of Sohla and Ham speaking in their primary love language. More of this please!

[@behringerm]

I loved the closed feedback loop communications they used to accomplish this.all the other episodes were casual and fun. This is the first time we have gotten to see them interact and perform as commercial chefs. It was eye opening (in a good way).

[@littlenikke]

Keys to great tasting menu: "Everything needs to look a little bit stupid and really pretentious, and everyone's hungry at the end." 😂

[@kimberlyhallett7691]

The classic move after enjoying a tasting menu on a special occasion is to hit up the drive through on the way home still in your formal wear.

[@maplelump]

She's not wrong! The one time I did a taste menu thing, I ended up going through a Taco Bell drive-thru on my way home.

[@DavidChong]

It's a funny quote but I feel like the hungry part usually isn't true unless you skipped a meal in preparation for it or something. Like yeah, each course is tiny and they're stretched over a pretty long period of time, but they're also likely a lot richer than what you'd normally eat and when you're talking about 12 courses it tends to be a lot, sometimes even too much.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

Now that's what I call fancy.

[@gwennorthcutt421]

reminds me of a really fancy chinese banquet where you end with a big bowl of rice or noodles to fill up at the end. i think tasting menus could take a page out of that book and give you a heap of fries or something to load up on

[@C3B5]

I love how Sohla just casually mentions she has a peanut allergy at the end!!

[@parkersweeney6891]

I too have a tiny peanut allergy, would still eat this meal

[@jacqueline1769]

i have a minor peanut allergy too, but might risk hives for a few days to eat a peanut butter tasting by these two. 😅

[@videoket]

@@parkersweeney6891 Would you have to use an epi pen afterwards? Or just feel gross for awhile until it wears off?

[@parkersweeney6891]

@@videoket No epi pen, but would have messed up my energy and digestion. Maybe given me throat/tongue irritation. I'm more allergic to mango, no epi pen, but will give me itchy throat/tongue immediately. Naked swapped their green juice blend and I knew after the first sip, massive mouth/ back of the tongue irritation.

[@Rebecca-zj4wq]

​@@parkersweeney6891 i just have a peanut intolerence. So heartburn and nausea, not hives and itching. Would definitely be worth it.

I love this show because it really showcases the skills of both these chefs whilst tapping into their creativity. The perfect package, I can’t express how talented these individuals are.

[@merinawww]

They did not have to go this hard, they could have easily stuck to the 3 course formula, but that's the kind of people they are, and I think that is so cool.

[@anitas8189]

This is by far the most elevated food video I’ve ever seen on the tubes. Sohla and Ham are themselves are the epitome of symbiotic food pairing.
