[@Dumass88]

mad respect for posting a failed experiment, few have the balls to own up to thing like this.

[@nachoijp]

You didn't add cayenne, that would've fixed everything

[@OlivierDeSillegue]

So, bottom line: less rosemary, add chicken stock (or other stock, or perhaps even a little white wine?), and we have a winner? Please still think of this as a success. It's a successful lesson :) You're awesome as always, Chef John.

[@jimbit22]

Add it as a stick /twig with the shallots and remove it after 4-5 min in the pan. in the end after the sauce is ready add some dried rosemary. Its like oregano, if you cook it too much it makes everything bitter.

[@chantgoose]

No cayenne??? And you wonder why this fell flat...

[@gingermoore7247]

Alfred Deakin LOL

[@jgfunk]

Lol! Good one!

[@MsKK909]

LOL!!

[@teacherinthailan6441]

The sign of a true man and professional. Not scared of showing mistakes shows trust and credibility for all the excellent recipes that did come out great! Bravo chef John!

[@obdormable]

This made my day! I absolutely LOVE that you chose to show us this, and your sense of humor is great! :D

[@spartan1010101]

you're just human; I'm glad that was confirmed because all the other recipes were done without fail hahaha

[@Magmaster13]

And you garnished it with yet even more Rosemarie. XD

[@hootypatootie]

Maybe you just needed a little more rosemary...

[@infxmhc]

This is one of the main reasons I watch Chef John. He always shows mistakes that he makes instead of cutting it out. Great chef & great teacher!

[@Tomatoman857]

I've done the rosemary overdose myself, Chef John. It takes a great chef to admit - no - a great person to admit a mistake. We're fooled by the color of the herb, is all. No green anymore? Add more! If we don't try anything new, we don't grow. Cheers!

[@21dumpstreet93]

Well failing never looked so good.

[@joshuablair7963]

I have now finished the binge of the worst videos 🙌🏾 love chef John.

[@AriyeleRessler]

absolutely brilliant prestige building move. as if we did't love and trust you before!

[@lesnyk255]

I use rosemary with extreme caution, but for an entirely different reason. I was reaching into a jar of the dried stuff to sprinkle into an Italian chicken dish I was making, and one of the leaves jammed itself under my fingernail & broke off flush! I had to undergo a procedure at the clinic to remove it. Learn from my pain... use dried herbs only in desperation.

[@Cookedbyjulie]

I'm still making this

[@badenielsen]

Maybe cut back a bit on the rosemary^^

[@haydnpierce7409]

Well he said the Pork Loin was cooked well so at least that's something to take away from this disaster. I'm nothing of a cook myself but I could spot that amount of Rosemary from a mile away.

[@MsheridanZ]

omg you watch foodwishes! Yasss!

[@NarschoolVlog]

But i guess when you will make it Julie.. it will contain Soy and garlic.. BUT WHAT HAPPEND TO CHEFJHON.. i know why the sauce was a disaster.. where is the cayenne?

[@sherryo360]

Aside from the obvious, I’d add a splash of balsamic when you add your grapes to the pan.

[@gimpdoctor8362]

thank you for uploading a fail! I rarely cook (i like the channel to watch the food and listen for the puns) but now i'll know!!

[@planetdo0m]

It isn't really a recipe fail, just a sauce fail. My grandma always told us if you screw up a pan sauce beyond recognition just put enough wine in it so nobody can tell.

[@Emimilykity]

I just made pork tenderloin tonight! I decided to wing it except for the temperature I had to google. Salt, peppered, herb du provenced the pork loins and browned in 3 tbsp butter, couple splashes of some rose wine hiding in the cupboard, popped it in 425 degree oven for about 30-35 min. Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and moist bork tenderloin. And it was my first time making it all by myself! So happy!

[@MsDreamcakes]

Oh Chef John, this video made me love you 10 times more than I already did! =}

[@katherinemaas6712]

My exact thought!

[@lebarron9089]

Msdreamcakes seems likeu wa na bang chef john

[@j1mdunb4r]

I'm so glad you posted this, so that we could not only learn from your mistakes but also see that even the best (and most entertaining) chefs make mistakes too!

[@carolineb7121]

This makes me feel immensely better about my FAIL today in the kitchen. I made citrus blueberry cake, and was very careful to fully coat the blueberries in flour and they still ALL sunk to the bottom and completely ruined the cake! It's nice to see that even very experienced chefs have their screw-ups! I am making a second attempt right now so I don't lose my confidence! Thanks, Chef John!

[@wufflemann]

Enjoyed watching this, as everyone has had something fail, and a good way to learn. I find that rosemary is one herb I have to use such a light hand with as it is so strong. But it is so easy to over do like you showed. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThanhHangDinh]

he is not afraid to show his mistakes, love you Chef John!

[@fazrinuha8775]

So many cooking videos tell us the right thing to do, but we hardly ever learn the things NOT to do. Thanks for this lesson, John!

[@theescapeartist23]

I think you are the only person who makes 'inedible' food look incredibly delicious. I love these fail videos! Would love to see another one. Not because I am into schadenfreud, but because I feel like I'm not the only one who overdoes it with rosemary.

[@Lalleepd]

That was too funny. Thank you for sharing. It is a frequent mistake of mine (now much less since I started watching your videos) - I'd make something fantastic and then at the end (call it hubris) I'd add one last EXTRA ingredient and ruin the whole thing. :)

[@TizianaTina]

Thank-you for sharing. It's good to know that I am not the only one who occasionally has failures in the kitchen. Live and learn.

[@nov51947]

Yes, we LOVE to see the pros fail occasionally!! LOL Just points out that we are all cut from the same cloth (burlap, maybe??)

[@rillip3]

I think you should turn this into a sub series. Every few months show a behind the scenes where you goof up and show how (if) you corrected it.

[@theEumenides]

I really do enjoy it when you share your kitchen disasters. Not that I am happy that it turned out poorly, but it is comforting to know that we all experiment with recipes that really just turn out.

[@PrplRabbit]

So the sauce was the main problem, not the pork. Thanks for still posting this Chef John! I learned a lot :)

[@brightpurpleviking]

Aaahhh. Rosemary. A little is faboo. A lot is soap. Anyone who has used it has done it, too! Kudos for transparency!

[@Engineer_Heathen]

I mess up my recipes whenever i make them for the first time lol. That's one of the great things about cooking, there's always room to improve! Whenever i make the recipe for the second time, it's sooo much better. You live and learn.

[@DayOwlify]

Fennel! Very instructive. I often learn more from the mistakes than the successes.

[@summers2861]

Chef John, you're honesty is refreshing!

[@katoom129]

It's actually kind of refreshing to see this video. Kitchen recipe disasters do happen and to see it happen with a culinary expert is honest and as much a learning experience as a well executed dish. Thank you Chef John.

[@aethiops007]

Hey Man, it happens to the best of us! You're still the MAN in my book. ;)

[@nblax41]

Blend the grapes and use them as a sauce with the pork

[@AshyGr33n]

My guess is if you reduce 90 percenr of the rosemary with mushroom and bacon - and cayenne - everything will be fixed.

[@FoodstonedMpls]

Loved this! I wish more bloggers/chefs posted their testing fails. They're a better learning tool for a lot of people.

[@joanmariepat4221]

It's great to see that even someone as talented in cooking as you are can have a disaster. Thanks for sharing! It's rather uplifting.

[@mastocytoma1]

Even when you fail, you do it with style! When I first tried Rosemary, I fell in love with the flavor. Needless to say, I let that love fool me on many recipes that should have been made sans rosemary lol! Love the idea of grapes with pork though!

[@tgamagedon]

Not sure if this is just not a thing in the us, but I always have some dry broth at home. It's great if you wanna add the flavor of stock to something that already has liquid and that you dont want to cook long enough to reduce stock. It's also great in marinades and lasts forever, it only clumps eventually. I know it's not as good as proper stock, but in a pinch it's still fantastic.

[@chinua12345]

Hahahahaha, I LOVE IT! now I know I am NOT crazy... To know that even chef john fails at times makes me feel better about my own recipe failures... good learning moment

[@Areezaintheaisj]

Seriously appreciate you posting this. You tell 'em Chef John! I think it's beautiful that you post the mistakes too. Lots of love from Australia!

[@CorporalPoon]

not really a pork recipe fail. just a sauce fail

[@AzaJabar]

#AddMoreRosmary

[@EvanC0912]

Pork and (white) grape are surprisingly a very good combination. I found out accidentally when eating roasted ham hock and snacking on white grape at the same time. The sweetness and tartness of the grape adorn the savoury taste from the pork and make it somewhat lighter. Very pleasant

[@heathermeagher6]

About the time that you said that you were not drunk, I was just about to ask if you were stoned. I feel for you! I thought lemon chicken! That sounds delicious! I managed to add three whole lemons to one chicken and roasted what became the nastiest thing I've ever made in my life! This was probably five or six years ago and it still gets brought up!

[@truckerspike]

Thank you Chef. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who beats myself up over minor recipe decision. The truth is, to you, it may be flat and one dimensional. But to someone with a less developed palette it may be the tastiest thing they have ever tasted. Thank you for sharing and baring your culinary soul for us.

[@MrNguyenTD]

Oh y chef ! My favourite chef ! You failed this recipe but you have never fail to entertain me with your recipe.

[@mooglesama]

I appreciate you sharing this, as we all have culinary misfits...

[@AmalgmousProxy]

I admire your fortitude and humor throughout this video.

[@AngelusDlion]

thank you for doing this. some people think chef means infallible...

[@mattswift5443]

This was SO much fun to watch!! Everything you make is terrific and your absolute favorite, we can barely sort out all your very favorites to know what to try. This was really fun even I know that very much rosemary is akin to eating a Christmas Tree. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@kbonds3000]

Much respect for sharing this video. Always hard to admit to our mistakes, but they are the best ways to learn sometimes. Great job!

[@isaakXP]

Hmmmm to make this recipe better the water could be replaced with a bit of white wine, and you could slice the grapes to bite sized pieces and use just a pinch of rosemary and a bit of thyme.

[@isaakXP]

He did not mention adding white wine or thyme, however everything else he did mention, I was just providing a little insight to the dish for those who wanted a little more info on how the dish can be better.

[@MichaelFinkCMT]

Thank you John! :) You're one of my favorite channels to watch on here. Still haven't stepped foot in the kitchen to make a meal... BUT when my BF does such a great job, why would I? lol

[@Rhevina]

I had a wicked grin on my face while watching this-- because of the learning experience, of course ;D ILY Chef.

[@BigMeatSunday]

A little sherry to deglaze would a been a savior i bet... I still Like it Chef, great work !

[@TheBradleyt100]

I added way to much basil in my spaghetti sauce, tasted like ee were eating pine trees....love your show!!

[@yucelgunaydin]

Chef, You are amazing! To watch your videos is not only educational, but also always funny. As always, I enjoyed.

[@thinglikejack]

This. This is why I god damn love you. Seriously, I watch several KZbin chefs, and I can say with earnest that I have never seen any of them claim their mistakes. They've made them. Don't tell me a KZbin chef with hundreds of videos has never made a mistake. They just always behave like everything they cook is the best thing they've ever eaten. Even worse is the Vitale route, which is claiming that every other thing they create is "one of my favourites". Edit: Don't get me wrong, I like Laura Vitale. It's just that you could turn the words "this is one of my favourites" into a dangerous drinking game with her videos.

[@GardenNoviceFarm]

Well, look on the bright side, I now know not to use more than a teeny tiny bit of rosemary....LOL! I so enjoy your cooking video's...

[@c.shakeshaft2582]

Hilarious! I did pretty much the exact same mistake yesterday with my sauce. It was awful. Thano you for showing this John.

[@vanmoorehead1836]

Love your channel John. Your courage to show your mistakes definitely makes you more endearing to your audience. I've tried several of your recipes and everything has come out extremely well except for my murdering of your Zabaglione.... which I cooked too long and did not add enough sugar to since I was using "sweet" marsala. I know, my fault for not tasting while cooking. Mea Culpa. Please keep sharing.

[@floordior33]

Thanks for sharing, Chef John. We still love you.

[@Lizi1243]

You forgot the third type of viewer! Those of us who just really enjoy listening to your amazing puns.

[@kathyberken5755]

I'm totally impressed that you posted this fail. Your humility is charming. I think the worst was the excess rosemary and water, right? Should you maybe slice red and green grapes so they are more user friendly? The cream does look good, however. I might try making this anyway. At my own risk, of course. I hope you re-do this sometime when it turns out better.

[@crayasiankid]

So I guess you may try again with this recipe? Then post the update?

[@danielaustin953]

Well at least you didn't garnish it with... oh wait...

[@gingermoore7247]

Daniel Austin LOL

[@caribbeanspice19]

lmaoooo

[@woozie09]

thanks for this video chef john. always love learning more from you.

[@isaaclowe8177]

I do enjoy what chef john calls a failure is what I routinely call a lovely dinner.

[@KuraiMuin]

Thank you Chef John! It's very honest of you and very helpful for your viewers to be able to see your mistakes, why they didn't work and how you would personally improve them. I think it helps you as a chef, as well c:

[@MissSkyWatch]

Lol!! 💕 luv that I found this!! Chef John, you’re simply the best 💥

[@Vacheresseb]

It's okay Chef Jon, I burnt my toast this morning.

[@tommiskey]

I learned to cook through trial and error, and I still experiment with new ideas that way. Sometimes you are pleasantly surprised, other times you just have to say "Ok, that went badly", figure out what went wrong, and try again.

[@violentinstincts]

i applaud you chef john. you have integrity.

[@cutemushroomhead]

Highly entertaining. Thank you !!!

[@ravenclanx]

Well chef thanks for sharing

[@AvihuTurzion]

We love you! Thanks for sharing :)

[@Gairuntee]

thank you for making me feel better about my cooking fails.

[@semagarcia8652]

This was a unexpected but very funny video and informative! Thanks for this video! Your other recipes are wonderful!!

[@nursevsfood]

Not that bad of fail the grapes I'm sure made a difference I will try and make a grape sauce for one of my video ^_^

[@alim.7239]

Wow. A chef who shows his mistakes. CJ, you're great.

[@Sczelag]

Thank you very much for the opportunity to watch a master fail. It does make me feel better when I foul things up. It is also brave of you to let us watch it happen. Now we have all learned. Not everyone would do that. You should have added some awesome; it might have helped. God knows you have plenty of awesome.

[@O2BSoLucky]

I made the best rolled pork loin for Christmas. Stuffed with onions, garlic and apples. It was great EXCEPT for the mysterious science experiment that turns out to be the combination of the onion garlic and apple - turned bright GREEN like a leprechaun. Lucky I had a pork belly that I made for the extra crackle.

[@choochalah]

this makes me love you even more, Chef John!

[@rairaiohyeahwow]

This happens to me a lot of time since I'm not the best in cooking hahaha it's ok chef! We still love you!

[@rainisnotforever]

Thank you Chef, for teaching us not everyone is perfect! Very humorous and WOW that pork loin does look mouth watering by itself! Another great video as usual. =)

[@Pinkstarclan]

Oh my god, could you IMAGINE drunk Chef John? That would be beautiful. John. Please get wasted out of your mind and make a meal. Film it. It would be so beautiful.

[@keetrandling4530]

Rofl!

[@MJTRadio]

Watch at .5 speed, you get something along those lines.

[@rg689]

Just bought a pork roast and got home to look up Chef John’s recommendation. I have rosemary growing on the deck and I will leave it out there Don’t have any grapes which is good. I watched until the end to see if he said “enjoy”. I guess that’s his signature I will try to learn from his errors as the pan sauce sounds like a great idea without rosemary 🤞

[@tsscap]

Great video. I really got a kick out of it. I made some chili a few weeks back and added too much brown sugar to it. Same type of result. It's comforting to know that this happens to truly talented chefs like you too.

[@dgillespie13]

we all have failures, but not all of us have the roasted grapes to post them on KZbin. I am in the crowd of Rosemary haters here, love the pork loin, but can't take the pine needles, I leave those for decorations at Christmas, never in my food. Thanks for the giggles, proud of ya.

[@maxb3rry]

fail or not, you're still the best chef in my opinion.

[@sarahconnors4929]

OMG THIS IS WHY I LOVE CHEF JOHN!!!! GOD YOU ARE THE BEST BEST BEST!!!!

[@MsKK909]

Thank you! Great teaching mistake. This is why we love you❤️

[@allthingsanime13]

I actually made this for a soccer banquet and it came out great. I cut the grapes smaller used less Rosemary and a bit of thyme. With some lemom water

[@arjnsdca]

Thanks for sharing this Chef John.
