Hi James. It's me again. I did my trial in the kitchen and the 2 chefs really liked me. The owner, however, said he is reluctant tot take on a mature trainee... so after some back an forth discussion he said he would take me on as a formal apprentice chef. today we are going to continue the discussion... any advice?

my fiancee is a cook and she caught me binge watching your reaction videos and she said your analysis of kitchen standards is on point. since then we always watch your videos. I even learnt the finger rule for measuring rice water from your video. tried it today and my rice cooked very well. not watery and not soggy. 🙌😄

[@Kateresa42]

Love your videos so far! I also used to not understand why vegans/vegetarians would want a fake version of the foods they avoid. And then in my late 20s I developed an allergy to shellfish and in my late 30s I developed an allergy to mammal meat after getting bit by a lone star tick. Even years later, I still crave red meat, especially bacon, steak, a nice juicy burger, and I miss a lot of the Chinese and Korean dishes I grew up with that contain oyster sauce or shrimp paste. So now I’m just grateful for people making vegan kim chee, and turkey bacon. It’s not the same, but it does help when I have cravings I can’t satisfy. The idea of developing a food allergy must be terrifying for a professional chef!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you!

[@diarmuidkuhle8181]

Yes I completely get it. I mean going vegetarian or vegan isn't supposed to be like some penance where you swear off a thing you enjoy. But you might feel that a particular food tasting good is not enough justification for killing a living creature. That doesn't mean that food doesn't still taste good, just that you can't reconcile eating it with your ethical principles. Perfectly fine to find a replacement. And I have to say as a meat-eater, some of those replacements are delicious in their own right and I will sometimes order them over the meat option.

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

Ticks always scared me, with lyme disease and all that. But after learning about that red meat allergy that they can give you, I'm even more terrified of them. However, I also heard that the allergy can wear off after a couple of years. And there's imitation shellfish that is pretty good too.

[@princejoseph8280]

Vegans avoid food that end up harming animals because of ethical reasons but they still might like the taste of those kind of food, they just sacrifice that in order to be ethical. So it makes sense for them to eat something that replicates the taste. Although usually these imitation doesn’t even come close to the taste so most vegans don’t go for it.

[@bcaye]

Alpha-Gal is a horrible thing. I have friends (a couple) who both got it. I asked if they had tried Impossible burgers. They were excited. I told them to check with an allergist if the heme (a blood protein) would cause problems. It doesn't. Something you could use for the cravings. It's good tasting as well.

[@FabbrizioPlays]

I also never noticed before how efficient Uncle Roger's filming setup is. I thought he was recording the nephew bits after the fact from a different location, but he's actually just got an asymmetrical set that looks significantly different from a 90 degree angle, and the cameras are not at the same offset from center, so it doesn't look like a mirror image when he turns to the other cam.

[@eng-eq7xy]

It's probably been mentioned elsewhere, but the reason why non-stick pots and pans, as well as good knives, should not be placed in the dishwasher is the fact that the detergents used contain abrasives (needed to remove food particles). As an aside, you can use a dishwasher to sanitize knives, bottles, post, and pans. So long as the dishwasher is clean, and you don't use any detergent (rinse solutions should be okay), a dishwasher can get MUCH hotter than what you get out of the tap, and will remove exponentially more microorganisms as a result. Fun Fact: When my lab is out in the field, we bring an Instant Pot Max with us to act as a makeshift autoclave. It can get to 15psi of pressure, and 121oC, so can sterilize most small equipment. Where I am (Ontario, Canada, just outside Toronto), sushi is incredibly popular, but a lot of it isn't what I'd call traditional. Pretty well every grocery store sells a variety of California Rolls, salmon, and tuna rolls, but a lot of it is things like fried shrimp. Now most cities will have a variety of casual sushi restaurants, and a few really good places in cities >100,000 people. They can range from mid-high in terms of price...with some cracking into the "I just paid $50 for 2 pieces of toro sashimi", but it's very widespread. Edit: Holy s#!t! Candy in whatever the heck that was? The only thing I can think as a positive is that Nerds are basically pure sugar with some citric acid and artificial flavourings/colourings, but no...just no.

Sushi was everywhere in the Philippines when I was growing up. But we also had our own raw fish dishes called “kinilaw” - a Philippine ceviche. In Toronto, sushi is everywhere and is a go to dish by most people.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Very interesting!

[@celletoronto]

@@ChefJamesMakinson Here’s a kinilaw recipe if you’re curious. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZO5p3t_qrKbjdU Also, even though sushi is everywhere in the Philippines, it was more for middle to upper class due to the price. Regular everyday people had more local cuisine (like kinilaw which has many versions per region).

[@coffeenecessity9312]

I'm from Poland and from what I've seen, Poles either love sushi or they hate it. Some people have great appreaciation for it and there are lots of sushi bars / restaurants, while others couldn't swallow a single piece. Also, Vincenzo has some great pizza-related videos you could react to.

[@Wehra96]

Pretty much anyone can find something they like, far from all sushi consists of raw fish.

[@piorun7903]

Potwierdzam. Sushi is indeed a hit or miss in terms of Poles' likings. Also it depends on the bar, because one bar is pretty solid, while the other could be absolute piss.

I've had so many people say they don't like sushi because they don't like raw fish. When i made sushi i was able to get people to like sushi with veggi rolls. The look in some of their eyes when i told them i could make them something was great. It's so cool the happiness food can bring to people.

[@joannh.3061]

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I'm a vegan who converted long ago because of factory farming and other ethical reasons. That being said, I used to enjoy the flavor and texture of meat. Looking back, I realize it was because of the fatty texture, salt, seasonings and aromas. I understand why some people try to recreate those flavors, textures and aromas. It makes it easier to transition and stay on the vegetarian/vegan journey. Over time, though, one's tastes change. I've happily adapted to plant based flavors and textures, so each dish stands on its own, without needing to be "meat". Thanks again for your engaging videos. Please, everyone, subscribe!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

thank you!

[@mariusmeyer3243]

Was about to say the same thing, since I've already heard this hundreds of times. Funnily enough, after being vegan for almost sex years now, I can't even stand most meat substitutes because of this almost perfectly replicated taste. On the other hand, discovering different eating cultures and learning more about cooking, herbs, flavours and so on made me realise the sheer abundance of different tastes compared to before I went vegan.

[@Behindthejab]

Yeah cause there is no factory farming for veggies…

[@mariusmeyer3243]

[@Jerorawr_XD]

Sushi exploded in my town a few years ago. I suppose it helps that we have an engineering college in town and a military base, so lots of people crave foreign food that's healthy. Our town even started a chain called "Fusian" where they make sushi "chipotle-style" where you pick the ingredients and they make the roll in front of you. Local supermarkets make sushi fresh daily, two sushi chains popped up and even the chinese restaurants in town started serving it. So, pretty popular, lol. Love sushi.

I was born in Poland and we eat fish a lot, because fishing is like the to go Hobby for a lot of dads. Of course most of the time we don't eat it raw, but fish Tatar was an exception. So after getting in contact with Japanese culture it came almost naturally to me to like sushi (1995 kid, growing up with dragon Ball, getting into more of it, after internet became more accessible). I find that Korean and Japanese cuisine fits my taste the most out of all Asian cuisine.

I would say Japanese cuisine in general, including sushi is quite popular where I am from (Singapore), and I understand it is also popular with our neighbours like Malaysia (I have Malaysian colleagues who really like Japanese food). Personally, I prefer sashimi to sushi though (I think it might be because in Singapore, restaurants have the tendency to put too much rice into sushi), and raw fish is actually quite common in East Asian food (some groups of south Chinese often have it during Lunar New Year, for example, and the Teochew and Hainanese (at least in Singapore, not sure about China and other diasporas) have it with rice porridge as part of a meal).

[@crowdemon_archives]

[@jiggy.pop.phantomkell9453]

In the US, sushi is fairly popular. As many states and cities here I've been to, sushi is easily found at the store or certain types of eateries(fastfood college cafe's or sushi bar in a Chinese buffet). Most of the time, there's just a straight up sushi restaurant, usually treated as a bit of a fancy occasion for a nice date night.

[@nathanlawrence2484]

Where I'm from, it's not extremely popular but there are some Asian restaurants that serve it very authentically and they have pretty consistent crowd that comes to them. Even the grocery store near my house started to make it fresh daily. Not exactly like the restaurants but still fairly good.

[@toriless]

Nope, the fish is old and stale, Costco's supplier die no❤tube old fish like groceries. Shops are still better but use o e that does NOTHING BUT SUSHI not just Japanese. Do that and you will like it. Just makes Sue the Wasabi is on the side like Costco does.

[@andreethier816]

I love sushi myself (not a fan of tuna, but I love salmon sushi and sashimi), and it does seem to be quite popular here in Canada, and I would imagine in the US as well. I feel like I remember sushi restaurants started popping up everywhere, in my city at least, about 10-15 years ago. My city tends to be behind in those aspects though (we only got a pho place maybe 7 years ago for example, and only just got a second one).

[@toriless]

Pho hit the US in the 1980's. They were everywhere. Less now, just like Thai the bad ones went away. Sushi has grown at a more healthy pace and may last. Even Costco has a daily supply and it is better than from any grocery.

Its pretty simple: You give up on meat, because you want to reduce animal suffering and don't support slaughter or the conditions of factory farming, but you do like the taste of meat. Its a moral decision to give up, not because you don't like the taste! 90% of vegetarians/vegans don't give up on meat/milk products etc because they don't like the taste but for the animal welfare thought!

I was vegetarian for 8 months until two weeks ago (iron got too low, starting again soon) and I absolutely get the point of making something taste like meat if you're vegetarian, especially if you grew up with it.

It can also help replicate dishes you miss.

That woman only missed one trick. She should have tossed a good 1/2 cup or so of cheap Vodka in with the meat while cooking. That way when she carefully rinsed all of the fat-soluble and water-soluble flavors out of the meat, she could have eliminated the alcohol-soluble components as well.

Sashimi in Australia has been growing in popularity over the past 10 years or so, most supermarkets sell them and one supermarket chain actually make them fresh in store. I found another store chain is selling Don bowls which is beef or chicken with rice and vegetables ready to eat.

Sushi is ridiculously popular in Singapore (at least in my experience). Trays of ready-made sushi are available in almost all medium-large local supermarkets, and Japanese restaurants are beloved. I wasn’t madly in love with sushi in my teenage years, but have since warmed up to it 😂

Where I live in Minnesota there has only been one authentic sushi restaurant and unfortunately it got put out of business from Covid, but we all kinda knew it didnt have much longer anyway since they didnt get much service :(

I'm in a fairly rural part of Texas, we've got probably 5 sushi restaurants of varying quality between three small cities! Helps we live just a few miles inland on the gulf, and have some of the best seafood fisheries in the world! The point of draining beef like that is to get some of the fat/grease out of really cheap ground beef. When you're stuck using 70/30 or something to make something that's not supposed to be super heavy.... yeah, A LOT of people will drain cheap ground beef.

In Sydney Australia Sushi is VERY popular, and has been for decades. Basically impossible to not bump into take away or restaurant sushi if you are in any built up commercial area. I could plonk you down next to townhall, point you in any random direction and you would be able to find sushi eventually. Legitimately 4-5 places that serve sushi within 1 mile of where I live.

Hey, James! You asked about sushi. I'm from Russia and sushi is very popular here. But generally they are so far from original ones. It's usually ***-maki rolls, not just sushi itself, and they are so various going far far away from traditional recipes. But for me, I like the classic ones with red fish, and I really love red fish when it is raw. Sometime when I buy frozen salmon, usually I get some slices, defrosting it a bit and eating just like that or with a drip of soy sauce. It's incredibly tasty for me, but should admit it might be dangerous as well, but still it looks like I have been really lucky all this time. Like your videos, and it looks like you're reading all the comments - really impressive!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you! :)

Growing up in the US in the 80s, I heard about sushi but never had it until I moved to Boston for college in 1990. Now I've seen it at grocery stores in the middle of rural Maine.

[@ghanyymn2722]

james don't lie about regret to review this video especially in the last video, so natural😂

[@kurohikes5857]

I'm from California and sushi is a staple here. Sushi is like tacos, pizza, burgers, whatever. It's like totally normal food. You can get it at grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, food trucks, etc...

[@ritajaklitsch7559]

I like sushi. - Like almost everyone else I know. In my hometown Vienna (Austria) it is a quite common dish to order in restaurants or as delivery food. Even supermarkets sell fresh sushi as lunch snack.

[@CicutaLupus]

For the ground beef, and draining the grease, it's because people are told by nutritionists and doctors to drain the grease from beef and most meat. So when you've been taught to do so, it's difficult to not do so, because in some cases keeping the grease can actually cause stomach issues due to not being used to it.

[@wamblipaytah1600]

@ 11:02 that is Calphalon! I make that! Metal safe is not knife and fork safe but you can use a metal spoon or spatula. BTW nobody uses PFOA anymore so no cancer from the nonstick hiyaaaa!

What uncle roger meant with oven and/or dishwasher used as storage for pots and pans in asian kitchens is - they never use ovens at all. Oven is simple not part of their kitchens or need it for their foods. So having to be careful to empty it before using does not matter. Asians for Asian cooking do not need or use oven. Nothing to do with lack of storage Or having to worry about emptying it before using.

[@nobrainsnoheadache2434]

10:05 did not see that coming lol that's right up there with washing the chicken with dish soap. also here in Canada sushi is popular and fairly affordable, I have a good restaurant near me :)

[@Angelina14799]

I live in Southeast Texas, on the Gulf Coast, and sushi was unheard of here 20 years ago. In fact, the only person I knew who had eaten it was my Dad because he traveled extensively. It was something you heard about people in New York eating (for example) but not accessible here. Now, it's very widely available and popular. I love it. 😊

[@alanlujan8955]

Chef James YOU could literally be telling me that the world is ending and I'm about to die a really horrible death. But with your dreamy voice the end of the world would sound so heavenly.

[@NotGoroMajima]

Sushi here in the Philippines is more common in city areas where it's being sold in restaurants, buffets, supermarkets, and even food stands alongside iconic Filipino food and desserts. What I've noticed though, is that California Rolls are more commonly sold, pre-packeged, than something like Nigiri, in which case Sushi that has raw fish is reserved for restaurants and buffets that have trained chefs that handle them. Sometimes there'd be an exception, where you'd find the likes of Sashimi being sold in the supermarket as well, but I've only been to one that does this. Amazing video as always, Chef!

"Aerosol can, don't lubricate the pan". The look on his face when realization strikes that he had made a rhyme (was super adorable hehe).

The spaghetti with Nerds reminded me of a fast-food "specialty" from the city I live in (Nijmegen, the Netherlands): it's called Discodel and it's a sausage that's normally served with mayo or curry ketchup, but this time with an extra of disco dip. The inventor was NOT sober at the time, but it has made its wey onto the menu of some snackbars

[@wcagee101]

It's pretty popular here in upstate New York. We have a few resturaunts that mainly sell sushi and you can get a wide variety of sushi from any Wegmans around here. The California roll is my personal favorite.

[@serialplayer3880]

i like how u put some good food footage at the end of the video to get us rid of this nightmare

[@shawnmccammon]

Regarding sushi: One does not need to travel far to get sushi at my hometown in Kansas. People tend to have a love/hate relationship with sushi, but the diehard fans like myself greatly appreciate the efforts of the nearby quality sushi artists.

[@zhihuang9049]

For the sushi question, I’m from Shanghai, China, and live in Florida. Sushi restaurants are quite common and popular in both places. But I have read an article about sushi, especially salmon sushi. It was not popular or even existed until 1990’s in Japan. I may remember wrong, but the reason was a traditional thoughts on salmon that it was poisoning in Japan. Then some fishermen imported Norwegian salmon and changed the name. Finally salmon sushi and some other sushi have become the way we enjoy today. So, traditional sushi was quite different.

[@jamesfoo8999]

Another great video, thanks! Also love that you wore an orange tank top too 😄

In southern Germany, mushrooms are called "Schwammerl" (=little sponges). That's why we don't use water to wash them, instead, we mostly only use brushes to get rid of the dirt or the older generation puts the mushrooms together with flour in a bowl and Shake it well.
