the cooking with booze challenge (vegan) | hot for food

[@WildChloeAppears]

im not even vegan but this is by FAR the best food channel on youtube

[@sashashvarts2421]

soon

[@morticiapompom]

same here! i love how they love food and their videos are perfectly edited

[@hotforfood]

[@ssulc5933]

same

[@sophia-es6wk]

I think the reason John keeps winning is because he chooses simple recipes with easily accessible ingredients, while Lauren likes to go the extra mile and do something very interesting that requires a bit more effort with ingredients that are harder to find. Still, I loved both the recipes and they both looked amazing!

[@160Days2Lose2]

I'll be honest. I've voted for John on the last three challenges, but Lauren's recipe this go 'round looks so tasty! I hope those sunchokes aren't hard to find. I'm going to try this dish and bring it to my NYE get together. So glad my best friend just turned vegan. We can smash these dishes together!

[@fadlyram7709]

CharyJay i'm with you for this challenge. I think Lauren's better!

[@DevAhmari]

CharyJay hey charyjay! I love your channel! ❤️

[@DimeDesigns10]

CharyJay You know we're gonna have to see you do this on your channel 😜

[@allesiakrank6234]

I'm not vegan but see my self slowly working in that direction. Finding this channel has made the idea of not eating meat seem so much more possible. I've made a few recipes for my fiance and even he cant tell the difference and really enjoys it! So thanks for sharing such awesome recipes. I think we can all say we really appreciate it!

[@hotforfood]

YAAY! That's amazing and all we hope for! Happy to hear you're making some small steps! xo

[@nettyspeaks]

before the year ends I want you both to know that finding you on KZbin has been the best thing that has happened to me this year. you both have changed my life. I feel more comfortable being a vegan and just look forward to eating especially knowing no animals will be harmed and it'll be yummy. you both are inspiring individuals w wonderful spirits and hearts. Lauren you are amazing, you've provided a genuine person for me to admire as a woman and have shown us strength, growth, along with vulnerability. you also have perfect hair doll. lol. thank you for those days I know you're exhausted but you still post a video, for vloging (which I know it's a hassle), and for letting us asking you interesting to obnoxious questions. lol. THANK YOU!!!

[@hotforfood]

awww girl... I am actually crying reading this. I think I am getting my period (this is Lauren obvs haha) BUT it's also very touching. Thanks for sharing that here and for letting us know. It means a lot and you're the reason we want to always post videos. How long have you been vegan? SO HAPPY for you xo thank you and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@nettyspeaks]

hot for food it'll be a year March 3rd!! you're welcome! lol

[@kimcote8653]

Congrats.. I am a year on Feb. 14 !! How awesome.

[@TheTastyVegan]

Being vegan it's such an awesome expierence in so many ways. You get to know awesome new food, new people and just have a much better life. That's exactly what we try to achieve doing our vegan recipes videos, people like you who show how much power there is in youtube videos!💪🏽😁

[@HANSONromysox]

AGREED. Well said, lady!

[@sha8808]

I love that it's competitive but you are always so polite and complimentary to each other :)

[@paolabueso]

Lei Anz I love that about them too! 😀👌

[@whitney3258]

The Jerusalem artichoke, also called sunroot, sunchoke, earth apple or topinambour, is a species of sunflower native to eastern North America, and found from eastern Canada and Maine west to North Dakota, and south to northern Florida and Texas.

[@whitney3258]

BTW my vote Lauren, yummy!

[@millacabral9475]

Whitney So it has nothing to do with Jerusalem? Classic naming.

[@elizabethjackson9088]

Today's challenge is so hard to choose! that beer cheese dip looks soooo good. i think this challenge series has done amazing things for John to blossom as a cook. I love yo guys!!!!

[@hotforfood]

I will agree with you there... since I def cook more often than him!

[@emadowney9003]

this might be the best battle you have done. I can't choose what to make first... but I did vote!

[@maddielc204]

Why do I always watch these when I'm hungry?!!?!?

[@tatilopespt]

even if you aren't hungry it will make you hungry, I learned to always watch their videos with snacks next to me :D

[@maddielc204]

I'll have to start doing that XD

[@anonymouse692]

Hungry is the only way to watch these! I watched this one on a full stomach and wasn't feeling either until the 7:46 mark.

[@bananamonkeys2322]

When John said, "We're good" I burst out laughing. So true, though!

[@daypsiequartz]

I love the good vibes in this video

[@AmyWhitehouseVlog]

That dip looks amazing but, wow, the jerk chicken was the winner. So creative. You guys are the best.

[@hotforfood]

thanks for watching

[@kendrak2096]

Ok johns face when Lauren first tries his dip and says "it's outstanding" is so cute! Such pride hahaha

[@LadyDeutza]

Best challenge I've seen from hot for food! Way to end the year with a bang!

[@losre191]

I love how excited you both get about each other's dishes.

[@mariannacasas2518]

They both look delicious but oh my goodness Lauren's

[@chaneastanley3783]

Love you guys. Laura's got my vote. new veggie- can't wait to try

[@ChrisJohn_444]

Who's Laura? ;)

[@ChrisJohn_444]

And, you think Chanea is talking about you? Self-important much? jk

[@chaneastanley3783]

omg. my phone auto corrected lol. so sorry Lauren ❤

[@ChrisJohn_444]

lol, surrrrrre, a likely story. jk I'm just messing with you. Lauren seems chill...I think we can safely assume she understands and didn't take the misnomer personally. But, even if she did, it wouldn't be your fault, it'd be hers for not being chill. ;)

[@tashap.3117]

I can not decide who did it better! you both did amazing.

[@angelac.almuete8312]

lol john's comment "were good! yeah were good at this!" hilarious. love your channel.

[@milyydoll]

I could not find sunchokes for the life of me, but I went ahead and tried this recipe with some jackfruit! Still tasted amazing. Hopefully I can get my hands on some sunchokes soon because your version looks much better!

[@hotforfood]

so just teh sauce on jackfruit? That would also be good! Someone used potatoes, but those might be a bit mushier.

[@milyydoll]

yes! I was also thinking of trying this recipe using yucca in the future because I'm more familiar with it and I think the consistency will be similar to the sunchoke.

[@bbybear712]

"We're good at this." Best commentary on the video! I cannot wait to make that beer and cheddar dip for the super bowl this year!.

[@readbycoco]

Oh my god that dip is making my mouth water! Thank you for blessing us with this.

[@Thevietvegan]

Hahah the face you made when you first tried the marinade XD They both look AMAZING! Also I'm glad you boiled those sunchokes beforehand cause they are notorious for making ya gassy. Haha. 🙈💨

[@Thevietvegan]

Also both of you have the same look when you try something good ahha. It's awesome XD

[@kgracec7468]

This is one of my favorite channels. You two are so creative and original.

[@laurasantacruz7994]

John's beer and cheddar dip looks like the PERFECT New Years recipe. I super wanna try it.

[@bernitaccooper]

"Maybe I'm a little Jamaican inside." I love it! You guys are awesome! 😊

[@stephaniehas1]

you both are killing it! love both recipes but I had to go with Lauren on this one because of the use of a new ingredient. good job!

[@BarbieChick2011]

John: White girl approved. Lauren: I'm not even white. 😂😂😂

[@CheriseDaly]

Chante McDonald Favorite part 🤣😂

[@rayannlau7908]

Chante McDonald is Lauren Asian?

[@AtomicPeach]

skankhunt42 _ Yea Japanese I think she mentioned it on her personal channel

[@susunslatky9278]

Wonder why John said that if he knows his girlfriend is Asian?

[@NaturallyChaotic]

He was saying that because she can't handle foods that are too spicy. Twas a joke

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

Omg. I am a huge queso fan but... Damn. What Lauren made looks so amazing.

[@Kate-rr7jv]

haha honestly I can't vote anymore your dishes both turn out so amazing looking everytime

[@theHanilu]

Dayyyum, I didn't expect this to look so delish. Aaaah, I can't decide!

[@priscilajmarquez46]

Wow! Lauren you really knocked it out of the park with this one! You can just tell it's soooo goood!

[@indiraj7968]

Just wanted to let you know that your thanksgiving roast made my Xmas.Thanks!

[@evaboyd2947]

You guuuuuys! These both look INCREDIBLE!

[@chocolatnoir93]

[@saskiamellows]

[@Kianaonyoutube]

[@hotforfood]

[@JenniferKelly]

[@TylerSmith-cm2sw]

[@espressofletch]

You guys ROCK! Y'all make it harder and harder to pick only one. I am totally obsessed with this channel 😍

[@ChelBUMM]

[@AMTO1834]

Both are of you are awesome, great people. Loved cooking with you this year. ❤

[@j_me_k8]

"I have to eat before we eat" ... It's like she's speaking directly to my heart.

[@ladyann7001]

Every time I make your recipes it gets eaten so fast and thoroughly enjoyed. Pictures become an after thought.

[@patierazo1215]

been vegan for 5 months now and you two have been such a big part of it. thank you for what you do, can't wait for the cookbook. your cander and lovely spirit keep me coming back for more. God bless and here's to a prosperous ans fruitful 2017. much love 💕🍏

[@Ehealey121]

The cheddar beer dip looked amazing but seemed a little simple (not a bad thing). The sunchoke recipe was inspiring for me to try something new. Both look amazeballs!!!!

[@ambarrios2303]

Loved this video! You both are very talented!

[@JackieShiu]

Can we skip 2017 and get straight to 2018 so we can get that cookbook?

[@hotforfood]

IKR! :/ hahaha

[@TheTastyVegan]

I'm sure it's gonna be awesome. Hope we can do one with our recipes one day!😊🌱

[@lovinlife108]

Your OG cheese dip, ranch, buffalo wings, and apple spice cake are the favorites among my non-vegan friends. I get asked to make that stuff all of the time. You guys always knock it out of the park. I haven't ever been failed by choosing a HFF recipe!!!

[@Scummer711]

you guys always out do yourself in every video. love, love, love!

[@nikavopilova8876]

Love to watch you guys to offset those super healthy (can-I-replace-the-oil) vegan channels. Haha Keep it up!! ❤🔥

[@hotforfood]

[@sdaud94]

Binge watching these challenge videos in 2021

[@ArmaniKastro]

I'm not even vegan but you guys have me trying out your recipes. They're so delicious.

[@infinitelovegratitude5789]

Thank you John & Lauren! Wishing you both a very Blessed New Year! XO Big Vegan Hugs from Michigan XO

[@ShelbyDazed]

omg these both look SO GOOD i'm literally drooling.

[@smithesque]

Oh my goodness both of those dishes look so incredible and delicious how will I choose! You guys really hit it out of the park this challenge, I put both recipes on my to-make list immediately!

[@katiea4906]

I don't know which to choose! 😩🤔 they both look AMAZING!

[@zo3o99]

This year has been such a roller coaster ride tbh and your videos are such a breath of fresh air. Much appreciation and admiration for everything you do and thank you for showing the world that vegan does not mean bowls of kale and green smoothies. You're such an inspiration and you both have beautiful spirits and are SO FUN TO WATCH. I hope you have an awesome New Years and keep them videos coming! Love you guys!

[@jimmiejimmiesam]

best challenge that you've made yet! So difficult to decide... love you guys xx

[@ymb6987]

The last (but best) challenge for 2016! You had me at those rice and peas - the spiced rum jerk sunchokes just took it to another level. Ready for 2017!!

[@yu2946]

Omg both of those dishes look so good! I've had a jar of jerk seasoning sitting in my cupboard for a while... Maybe now I'll finally use it!

[@impossibleclf9166]

beer and cheddar, the Wisconsin essentials

[@candidlyclaudine1070]

ImpossibleClf eyyyyy Wisconsinites are the best! I mean it's a terrible place to be vegan, but it's still pretty great

[@NaturallyChaotic]

I was taken aback when John said "Texas" for the beer cheese bowl. This is obviously wisconsin's domain

[@MilissaMagwood]

So excited to try both of these! I think I found my New Years dinner and dip to bring out to share. Love your recipes! Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing.

[@taylornienhuis]

That beer cheese looks awesome but Lauren takes the cake in this challenge!! I can't wait to try both🤗

[@leelsbless]

You both have outdone yourselves!! This is the hardest one to vote for yet

[@aCompendium]

These look amazing! I can't wait to make both. :) I'm so thankful to have found you guys this past year. You've helped me become more confident and comfortable in the kitchen as well as helped me make amazing vegan foods for my non-vegan friends and family. THANK YOU!

[@hotforfood]

omg that's so amazing. THANK YOU!!!! We're happy these videos have helped so much

[@noeliaguzman4840]

I found your channel like 2 days ago and I´ve been binge watching all your videos! you guys are awesome !

[@nlwolslegel]

I voted for Lauren :) by the way I made those ceviche tostadas with hearts of palm and it was so amazing, I think especially because I marinated them for about 3 days. I didn't spiralize the squash or add cashew sour cream but there was so much flavor there was no need. Thank you so much!!

[@hotforfood]

YAAAY! Thanks!

[@jamiepage9046]

You guys ended the year with a bang! Happy New Year and wow both looked amazing, but have to go with Lauren..love rice and beans and anything with jerk spices!!! You killed it Lauren!

[@vsnessaciranni9883]

[@hotforfood]
