Lol I literally just realized this channel wasn't just Ben and Brent because they're the only episodes I consistently watch every time. 1000% this is the best duo and show on Eater. Don't ever change. Or if you do change, make more Prime-Time!

[@sheckjesus7476]

Nothing lasts on this channel. Soon, they're gonna try to go solo like OG Solares.

[@sirdouglashowel5thseat776]

lol, i've been watching these two for awhile and just realized the name of the show isn't Eater... thanks for the headsup lol

[@ashamancito4630]

I am somewhat sceptical about eating pork belly at that temperature. I would try it, though there seems to be a lot of unrendered, barely warm fat, which is, when compared to a traditionally roasted pork belly, not what I am looking for.

[@benvo3944]

Ya it looked great but pork belly needs to be slow cooked to fall apart tender. I think they were on a time crunch.

[@Fattony6666]

It was only barely warm when you ate there?

[@Whalebone471]

Love your passion for good food !

While I love steak just as much as the next guy, particularly ribeye, , no meat can compete against a pork belly with crispy skin. Its texture and its luxuriant juiciness is just sublime.

[@nicholascecere4335]

You haven't eaten great beef. No pork is touching the best beef.

[@punkem733]

@@gavcom4060 LMAO! That's why the best beef can cost hundreds of dollars a pound and the best pork is what? 10-20 a pound. come on if people are gonna make comments like this, look yourself in the mirror and ask, is this a stupid comment as this one is.

[@gavcom4060]

@@punkem733 You pointing out my “stupid” comment is ironic considering you think money is the defining factor of whether something is superior or not. Only a narrow minded person would think such a way. Markets change all the time. Just because something right now is cheap doesn’t mean it’s inferior whatsoever. For example, the oxtail used to be considered “trash” meat only a few years ago and was cheap as hell to buy, same with lobster. Nowadays, oxtail is one of the more expensive cuts you can buy, since people realized that oxtail is delicious as hell, and lobster generally is the most expensive seafood item that a person can buy. There’s a stigma around pork which makes it a bit less popular than beef, but I would confidently put a good fatty piece of Iberico pork next to wagyu and say that the iberico would be better. I’ve had A5 wagyu before and I thought it was quite bland

I’m from Rome and for anyone interested in porchetta: if you come around Rome, head towards Ariccia, 30 minutes drive. That’s where porchetta was created and I can guarantee it’s worth it, simply amazing,

Hahaha. You say its created in Rome? Do you know how many different cultures and countries make rolled pork breast? But hey, another Italian claming something is invented there. Cooking over open fire is invented in Italy as well I hear.
