Life is sweeter with Ketchup - future shirts 🏀

He sells these shirts now on @protocooks, for any interested parties!

THIS IS THE BEST! What a crossover!

[@chicken2jail545]

Wait...Emily AND Frank?! Checkmate Epicurious.

[@Adarsh_Tiwari]

Emily not having chocolates and other snacks with ketchup is heartbreaking.. and Why is Frank not making his own wine glasses?😭

[@TheMrCC21]

Whose to say he doesn't?

[@SkaterBlades]

He's busy making his own water

[@khangtruong98]

He needs to finish aging his sand first before he can blow it into glass.

[@justylex]

My kids and husband LOVE All Dressed. I like them but prefer Dill Pickle. I would say that Coffee Crisp is one of the most popular candy bars in Canada. It has been around forever. I am 50 and can remember eating them as a small child. I like them cold, so I keep them in the fridge.

[@cathylee5173]

As a Canadian, I'm surprised how many of those things are not available in the US.

[@everybodylovesducksauce7158]

Yep. And I thought the ketchup chips were now available!

[@ntvonline9480]

Canadians have better taste than Americans.

[@mic7504]

As a kid I was blown away that they didn't have Coffee Crisp at the gas station when traveling through the states. I then searched the first Wall-Mart we stopped near. No one knew what I was talking abooot. Madness!

[@ive._0127]

we have had emily and lorenzo, emily and frank, now we need emily and rose!

[@continuousself-improvement1879]

Emily and Beth.

[@ninjazmbeegrl396]

coffee crisp is my favorite chocolate bar! definitely a favorite here in Canada

[@Anyone290]

Salt needs Frank.

[@EmilyDuncan]

it's mutually beneficial relationship

[@justmutantjed]

This is a long-overdue crossover! I'm going straight from this video to the one over on Frank's channel next!

[@MGD313]

Every beverage is better when poured into a goblet. Also, every beverage is better when sharing one with Frank and Emily.

This is the crossover that does it right. Honda, please sponsor.

Cool channel. Came over from Frank's. Glad to see that the ketchup theme was only for the first few episodes.

[@angbotash]

"What is this, a crossover episode?" :D

I live in the Annapolis Valley and I have to say that the first time I saw Emily on Epicurious I was reasonably sure she was from Nova Scotia.

[@EmilyDuncan]

haha I’ve got NS vibes ✨🦞

[@kburdy]

I’ve been to Vineyards in Annapolis Valley as well by Wolfville. Very beautiful area.

[@nishantjoshi1027]

OH MY GOODNESS! This channel has been such an incredible blessing during quarantine and I am so thankful for it

[@nishantjoshi1027]

Emily going from a level 1 chef to the main character of the Epicurus cinematic universe is the plot progression I live for

[@jgomezmoreu]

This gotta be one of my favourite crossovers

[@ashe1317]

COFFEE CRIIIIIIISP 😍😍😍 i'm American, but my dad and his whole family are Canadian, so whenever we'd go up north to visit, we'd always come back with bags of Coffee Crisps (and those maple sandwich cookies. and the good maple syrup because of course). but Coffee Crisps are undoubtedly the best candy bars ever, no contest. i have been able to find them stateside in the past few years, but it's not quite the same, though, 'cuz the label's half in Spanish instead of half in French hahaha

[@515aleon]

"They're super salty which feels right."

[@barrybritt2210]

love wine gums!

[@jenns3625]

You need to be in the okanagan in bc, best wine. But I love sleeping giant winery, they have fruit wines. And on Vancouver island, little qualicum cheese works has great cheese.

[@randallanderson6340]

What a joy to see you and Frank together! Thanks for scratching my Canadian itch. I've been away from the Stratford festival for two years. When I finally get back I'll head straight to Dollarama and clear their shelves of All Dressed, Mr Bigs and Wonderbars, then back to the hotel room and have a snackcident. Much love from Milwaukee.

[@EmilyDuncan]

Ahh Mr Big bars are also excellent

[@kevinstruke1031]

Oh Henry!

[@randallanderson6340]

@@kevinstruke1031 Solid choice! Respect.

[@catherinetodd5163]

All dressed is a combination of the four original classic flavours. Bbq, salt and vinegar, ketchup and sour cream and onion. Some later copycats only use 3. I have loved wine gums since I was a kid in Canada only then they were shaped and stamped like coins. They took longer to chew so lasted longer.

[@incensejunkie7516]

The bagged ones seem to be different than the ones in the rolls. I still get the rolls, love wine gums!

[@rudolfpunt3286]

Assome, well done Emily.

[@defaultuser1447]

A guest spot by Frank. That should help his career.

[@msgypsyqueen]

Loooove Coffee Crisp .. Next time, bring him a Wonderbar and a Mr. Big... and an Oh Henry 🤓👍😍😍😍🍫🇨🇦

[@sandramacpherson9739]

What a dream team!

[@ConniMiller]

My MIL introduced me to Coffee Crisp Bars a few years ago. She buys them for me all the time.

[@CL4MP]

Emily, Frank, booze and junk food.. four of my favorite things in the world 😊

[@rwlewko]

There are three things that I would love Chef Frank's reaction to that are Canadian recipes: - nanaimo bars, these are baked in a cake pan, cut into bars. They have three layers - chocolate-coconut cookie for a base, a custard in the middle and chocolate ganache on top. - butter tarts are a pastry shell filled with a caramel like filling made of eggs butter and milk often with raisins added (guaranteed to give you hyper-glycemia) - beaver tails, are flat pastries about twice the size of your hand made of doughnut batter, deep fried and covered with cinnamon sugar. PS. Its too bad that you are located in the east. There's a berry local to the prairies that is called a Saskatoon berry, although the Americans may call it a service berry. Its kind of like a cross between a blackberry and a blueberry but its flavor is stronger and a little more tart. I'd love to see Frank's reaction to eating a Saskatoon berry pie. If I made any mistakes describing these I am more of a consumer of these treats than a baker!!!

[@tannerolafson3619]

I live in Saskatoon and love saskatoon berry pie

[@Mrvandepeekjes]

Discovered your channel just now from Frank, gotta leave that subscribe ofcourse! Amazing :D

[@justylex]

Live within walking distance of a Canadian Tire but have never tried their chips. Did not even know they had their own brand. Lol

[@maryamtara2934]

17:17 Loacker is soooo popular here in Egypt and it’s soooo tasty

[@aputsasana343]

Love both of you so much!

[@Sylent35]

I love both of you! The first time I had ketchup chips I was in Machias Maine. No one believed that they existed when I got home to NJ. Still some of my favorites!

[@christinadisco1]

You should get some Covered Bridge chips when you're back in NS! Some of my favourite chips.

[@Moxx3]

As someone who lives on P.E.I., I must say that apron looks great on you Frank :D

[@EmilyDuncan]

Looking sharp, right? 😄

[@halfsoul1111]

such a good combo

[@AveryPowers77]

Great video, been to Canada twice myself and I loved the ketchup chips. I went to Vancouver Island though, so opposite coast. I don't know if its exclusive but down here in Georgia All-Dressed chips are sold in the grocery stores and have a little Canada stamp on them. Anyways, great video!

[@marshabailey772]

Love you guys!

Hi!! Thanks for watching!

[@mottorcycle2559]

Ketchup chips and my favourite . They’re purple because they use beet powder as well as tomato powder.

[@norxlor]

I love you guys! You are the best! Glad that I found your channel! You guys make such a great team!

[@NCRmama]

My favourite all dressed chips are Covered Bridge (from NB) crinkle cut. Covered bridge also sells their seasonnings in packets.

[@jc3drums916]

Frank needs to go to a Japanese market and get a bag of Kasugai white peach gummy candy. I got a little nervous when I saw the kettle chips - thought the bag said they were marmite flavored. Maybe you and Frank could make poutine next time, or would that be too banal?

[@EmilyDuncan]

hmm... not writing that peach gummy name down for myself or anything...

[@katinapactol-baez1317]

Oh! I haven't had those in FORever! Yum

[@EastSider48215]

The Marmite chips are very good.

[@Mach1127]

Canadian here 👍 very fun

[@EmilyDuncan]

🙌🇨🇦

[@dachandewuffsteiger]

I love all of this, except the ketchup chips. I had them when I was camping in Ontario, and did not care for them. But I do love the variety Canada has to offer as well as some of the BEST craft beer and game sausage I've ever had. Oh and All Dressed is the ultimate chip flavor, we've briefly had it down here in the south west of America and I want more of it.

[@TheMrCC21]

In Canada, it's punishable by death to not like ketchup chips.

[@lynnstlaurent6789]

I am surprised they aren’t Covered Bridge Ketchup chips since she’s from out east.

[@kurto2745]

In my opinion I would say caramilks are something that can be enjoyed on a more regular basis without growing tired of them. Coffee crisps however, are something that is enjoyed sparingly but has a greater satisfaction (at least if your somebody who enjoys coffee flavours). Great vid BTW :).

[@EmilyDuncan]

excellently put!

[@Ozzborn85]

As a gummies fan I will from now on will bo on the look out for the Fuzzy Peach - so need to try those - might not be very easy to find in Poland but we have a lot of "World cuisines" kind of stores with imported, highly overpriced junk food, so keeping my fingers crossed! :D Wine gums are also cool - I remember trying them when I was in England for the first time.

[@Romi_Zii]

This is sooooo much fun! 💗❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎

[@joshuajohnson2216]

Here come Frank 🤣😂

[@andyzhang9110]

Really enjoyed watching you on Epicurious, and here with Frank together! Made my day

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

Coffee Crisp is definitely big I would say. It's a nice light snack!

[@TheMrCC21]

You need to try Dutch Crunch all dressed chips by Old Dutch. Another great all dressed chip. If you want a salt and vinegar chip with more vinegar flavour, get Miss Vickie's sea salt and malt vinegar. Ketchup chips are my all-time favourite chips. Loved them growing up. Coffee Crisp is the only coffee thing I will eat. I don't like coffee at all.

[@EmilyDuncan]

Miss Vickie’s are the salt and vinegar GOAT!

[@abenorma]

Sour wine gums are my fav!

[@EmilyDuncan]

Yum!

[@davemroz8503]

[@dwaynezilla]

Really good choices in the selection of flavours! No surprises in Frank's take on each of these. Though now he's gonna be constantly craving fuzzy peaches like the rest of us!

[@ianchase8758]

After the both of you raved over the "All Dressed" Ruffles.....I paused the video and ordered a bag off of Amazon. :) And Emily needs to be promoted to "Level II" chef. :)

[@continuousself-improvement1879]

Nooooo! Promoting her to Level II chef would take away her privilege of putting ketchup on random food that has no business of being paired with ketchup. 😆

FYI, Caramilk and Coffee Crisp are very popular in Ireland. There have been many ad campaigns about “how do they get the caramel in the Caramilk bar?”

Ahh, we have those ads about Caramilk too!

@@EmilyDuncan I’m Irish-Canadian and I spent 3 years living in the US a long time ago before I moved to Canada. I was delighted to find many Irish favourites on the supermarket shelves in Canada. Right now I’m snacking on a Jacob’s Cream Cracker with a slice of Kerrygold Reserve Cheddar.

Tip from a Canadian, Lays is not the best ketchup chips, try Old Dutch instead.
