We really just have one goal - to make your food life better. Ok that, and be entertained at the same time. And have you learn a few things along the way. So let’s make it 3 goals then.
If you only want the steps to make something, like those vids shot from above with no people, no conversation no nuthin - then we are absolutely not for you. But if you wanna a little fun while you learn, then this is the place.
Cooking doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be delicious.

THANK YOU ❗️

[@user-xw7lv7os1z]

You should do a mystery box that Max puts together and you have to put it together in the moment. Would be fun to see what you make and for you two to argue about it haha

[@jameshanks4062]

Good idea

[@manuel9714]

Love that idea!

[@joeconwayr]

The British sailors will use the limes to prevent scurvy. They may have used them to preserve food, but I’ve always heard that they use them to prevent the scurvy disease because of the vitamin C.

[@osric1730]

Yep. It was added to the rum ration in the preparation of grog to prevent scurvy. Its not very effective as a preservative, they used salt for that.

[@Ohsnapski]

You would be correct, “grog” is simply a mixture of water and lime with a decent amount of rum in it to keep it from spoiling. Roughly 1oz dark rum 1oz lime juice and 4 oz of water is roughly what they’d be drinking if ya ever wanna try it. Sometimes they also added cinnamon(antibacterial) as well as other citrus in place of limes

[@piefingers1369]

@@Ohsnapski God damn it - now i have to try it, now where's my bottle of Wood's 100 hiding.

[@damienlu7318]

The Simpsons taught me that.

[@Arrjaayyy]

Whoa...British sailors still get scurvy?

[@missmoo5621]

Max, you guys HAVE made a surf and turf crunchwrap! It was labeled under "The Best Crunchwrap Supreme at Home." You're welcome, Sam!

[@erichooper9858]

Even Max can't find his own videos because of his naming convention. lol

[@imnotsmartbutimdumb]

I watch and I make, you guys inspired me to start cooking actual food, before it was just like scrambled eggs and that was it. I’ve branched out so much and it’s all thanks to you guys. Thank you.

[@wolfwoman47]

Great quote from Jimmy Durante "Goodnight Mrs. Calabash. "

[@froggie6608]

"Good night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are." Fond memories!

[@jakestaaaaaa]

Sam, You missed what makes the most important ingredient for the breakfast crunch wrap. The Creamy Jalapeno sauce! It is not on the California version which just came out and is the worst one, but the bacon and sausage one have it and you have to order extra sauce for it and it is life changing. been eating and making my own version for years!!

[@the_real_student179]

Curious what your version of that sauce is? Definitely my favorite thing at Taco Bell as well since I always crank the customization option for it to Extra (or add it and set it to extra if it's not already included).

[@Mike-In-O-Town]

Shoot, I was just trying to figure out how or where to work some hot sauce into the build. Can't eat eggs without hot sauce.

[@Inversiondude]

@@the_real_student179 There is a copy recipe on the website key to my lime, it is spot on! I've used it for the past few months. It's also the sauce they put in quesadillas!

[@Sergeantgrunt]

It's the "crunch" wrap for a reason and Sam missed the crispy element that covers the top before it's wrapped. No big deal though cause do you really need more tortilla?

[@cruejones742]

These terards thought a Bacon cheddar from Arby's had BBQ sauce on it so........

[@borgman151]

Limey - a derogatory term for a British sailor. It originated from the British navy's practice of adding lime juice to the sailors grog...giving the sailors a much needed addition of vitamin C to their diets preventing scurvy. Loved the video!

[@BenMossWoodward]

Thanks for this, as a Brit I felt oblitagated to explain where limey came from - that said I don't get why it's seen as derogatory... I mean it seems pretty smart to me!!

[@DerekBolli]

Now do "Seppo" LOLs 🙂

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

@@BenMossWoodward Limey isn't really derogatory. Neither is Brit, but that did not/does not stop other cultures using it that way since they see or saw the English/UK population as invasive or 'bad for them' That is not meant as judgemental on either the 'Brit's/Limey's' or on the cultures that they met. It IS meant as a judgement on the instinct of ALL cultures to slap a derogatory term on anything new. All prejudiced views should first stop and ask 'Did we ever do that to someone else?' before screaming 'Burn the witch!'

[@jamesrudsenske7269]

Thank you for creating these videos! To answer your question, yes I have made a few different of these recipes and I do plan on doing this one for the wife!

[@Feebeeee]

I have always loved cooking especially for people I care about. I enjoy experimenting with different flavours, I like to try new things & your vids are great for that & so entertaining too. Btw I swore I wouldn’t buy any more recipe books & ordered & received two of yours last week 🤣 So good for ideas with leftovers & quick meals for camping or whatever! Thanks Sam & crew, love your style. Oh & please add metric measurements to any future books, converting is a pain in the bum 😂 Thanks from Australia

[@themidnightjudge]

The best videos from you guys are the ones with Sam's trivia questions and the banter between Max, Chance, and Sam. You guys made amazing dishes, but you are also amazing to watch. Never a dull moment!

[@sulpher9]

I've added soo many of your recipes to the rotation. Looks like another winner!

[@ahum333]

3:39 Oil does not prevent butter from burning. It just changes WHAT is burning the butter (i.e. the hot oil instead of the hot pan)

[@firemoon5734]

Watching & Making Things! Ive made many of your recipes, but mostly I get alot of ideas & inspiration from your videos & then make my own things from it. 😁 Ive always been good with cooking, but certain things I thought I'd never be able to do, (working with dough/etc) & yet came out successful after your teaching. You absolutely give encouragement & so much more. Also, the fact that sometimes things aren't perfect/messes happen/cant figure something out/etc, makes me feel so much better that it happens to everyone & even the professionals cuz no one is perfect. But thats how we learn so we CAN make great food. I am honestly truly grateful that you guys show that things arnt always perfect, (like the Italian sausage & cheese bread braid) & (the Chinese strainer making a mess of your sauce for the roast beef dip). I used to just get frustrated, upset, & give up when that type of stuff happened to me. And I rarely would try anything I thought I couldn't do. But over time through watching your videos, Ive become a better cook, & gained more knowledge & confidence in myself & my skills. Now im not afriad to make something different & can trust my own skills & taste to know that whatever Im making; even if its new, that its probably gunna be good. Ive made up several of my own recipes, trusting myself with the ingredients I wanted & they've come out AMAZING! Thank you for being real, being hilarious, giving knowledge, giving time & great recipes, teaching us, & helping me build more kitchen confidence! 😁🥪🥣🥩🔪🥬🍴🥑🥝🍽️🍱

[@nicholasdunn6158]

I watch for inspiration and to try different cuisines. Not necessarily for recipes but good ideas.

[@ejesposito2618]

This looked so good! Could you guys do a video cooking scollops different ways, like deep fried or pan seared and maybe make some thick cut fries (chips lol) I love scollops!

[@kayredfield6717]

Excellent idea for Fathers Day Breakfast! Thanks, Sam!

[@SidViscious]

I have tried a lot of what you make. When I retired I took over cooking and shopping. I have learned a lot, a lot more to go, but I love doing it. Don't ever let them make you stop talking (swearing) like I do....love your show.

[@charleshopper5462]

I love you guys, thanks for brightening my day!

[@christa_graham]

We love making crunch wrap variations at home! We typically use our air fryer and they come out perfect.

[@Kurly005]

Yum ! I’m Excited to make that ! I Will pickup ingredients tomorrow ! On a stay vacation, that Will be a breakfast for sure !

[@jena2122]

I have definitely made some of your recipes! And used some of the techniques. I love the pizza crust and hashbrowns videos! I also love the seasoning blends and different ways to flavor meats (sou saaauce)

[@rogerberry889]

I'm definitely watching and many many times making. I made your chicken teriyaki taco with charred pinapple salsa as a wrap today. My girl and I loved it!!! Thanks for the great content and entertainment!!!

I'd make this on my flat-top griddle! Sometimes I make things right away (within a day or two) & sometimes it's a month or two down the line or never depending on the recipe!

"Goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are" was Jimmy Durante's signature closing line of his performances. No one ever knew who he was referring to, and he never told. There are lots of theories, but it'll probably remain one life's mysteries forever. So goodnight, Jimmy, and goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are. RIP

[@yeaalrightthatscool3048]

I would absolutely make this. I made a crunch wrap with birria one time, absolutely delicious.

I am definitely making this…I have the ingredients already in my pantry and fridge…it is GO TIME!

[@cdarbanvee]

I'm making this for dinner this week, no doubt. I love making unexpected foods into burritos or quesadillas (or, in this case, a crunch wrap). My favorite is the classic Reuben, quesadillafied. Good stuff. Thanks for making good food fun and accessible and thanks for that little bit of "The Way You Look Tonight." Always missing my dad at Father's Day; we danced at my wedding to that song (his choice). Sinatra's version, of course, so thank you for a very fond memory, too. You're great. The Boys, as well. Cheers.

My kids and I watch every video and we make a ton of your recipes. We will definitely be making these.

[@pmcmva]

See, I would call that the "back side" not the "front side" back on the flat-top. Looks fantastic anyway. I love breakfast and I need some variety for my flat-top breakfast game. I think this'll do. I stayed to the end ("just thinking of you... tonight") and my response to your question is I am mostly watching and commenting and enjoying these days. I used to make probably about 50-60% of everything you posted for a couple years. My household is smaller now, I cook for just my son and that's meal-prepped menu for work/school. Y'all are an encouragement to get back to it. For enjoyment and relaxation if not for necessity. Thanks!

I'd have to try it to believe it, one of the reasons why the breakfast crunchwrap is so good is the creamy jalapeño sauce(which I always get extra).

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Limes = Vitamin C = a lack of Scurvy. Hence limes on ships of old to keep bouts of scurvy to a minimum. Brits were known for carrying limes on ship. Ergo... limeys! "Good night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!", Jimmy Durante 's patented sign off!

Chance is clearly winning the most attractive award, as an empirical straight guy it's not even close

[@gregpit1964]

The term ‘Limey’ had its heyday during the early 20th century where it was used as a shorthand reference for English emigrants arriving in America, South Africa and Australia. Its roots come from the British navy’s use of lime juice to cure scurvy during the late 19th century.

[@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342]

I've made a few things that you've made, and every single damned one of them has been an absolute BANGER. Before I found this channel I pretty much just made the same like 3-4 things all the time. Now I branch out and try new stuff thanks to you. I was not a good cook before, but I've learned a lot from watching your stuff. The most important lesson I think I've learned from you though is that it's OK to screw up. I wouldn't try things because I was afraid of making a mistake, and you helped me get over that, and I appreciate you for it.
