Which YouTube Chef Makes The BEST Grilled Cheese?

[@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW]

Love ya bud, thanks for taking me back down memory lane. See ya in a month

[@AdamWitt]

My pleasure, mate. Well deserved W.

[@blepnir]

you made 4 really great melts! Now on to the grilled cheeses

[@DavidBMaas]

The worst grilled cheese is Gordon Ramsay's, and that's not a joke. If you want supreme entertainment, Google Gordon's grilled cheese and prepare yourself for a wild horror show.

[@AdamWitt]

I've seen it. Legendary.

[@WTFHAX93]

And then after that, I recommend watching his "redemption" (it's even worse somehow).

[@Timmycoo]

lol I remember I said it was the worst cooking vid of his and had people argue that Jamie Oliver has worse ones. My argument was that a grilled cheese is not supposed to be difficult (hence J. Kenji Lopez Alt doing his late at night after partying) lol but Gordon just truly messed his up.

[@Jay-sg7rf]

His was better than any of these, most were sandwiches not grilled cheese.

[@redeye1016]

I mean he could clearly cook a grilled cheese correctly, he’s an incredible chef. I think it’s just too simple for him that he can’t get it right 😂

[@amberford300]

Dude your frankencheese looks like it beats them all, its the one I wanted to eat. So yours is the winner in my eyes. Do you have your own special way of making a grilled cheese? Also have you done a video of your top five favorite things to make and eat

[@AdamWitt]

Tbh, it's not something I make often, but I could definitely throw my own spin on things. I make more Tuna Melts than grilled cheese in my adult years it seems.

[@quaidrasmussen4151]

[@redeye1016]

Minus the chives and agave I’ve been making that exact green sauce for years and I made it up 😂 that’s wild! I’ll have to try it with cheese now

[@aaronfriesen7557]

One of the best KZbin food channels. Love all your videos. Keep up the great work!!

[@Timmycoo]

I think Babish said the key to getting a good cheese pull on his grilled cheese was to wait a little bit after cutting it and then pull. Just for the camera's sake lmao. Stephen's won me over, though. Thing looks amazing.

[@GregCurtin45]

Thank you sir for the inspiration and to your cinematographer for his amazing camera work and close ups! As someone who loves cheese but has no interest in "grilled cheese" or "mac & cheese" I think J. Kenji Lopez-Alt won based on being the most traditional? He might also win for 'ham & cheese' sandwich as well. Your Frankencheese (minus the avacado) was my personal favourite. I love this feature of taking the best of KZbin and creating the Ultimate. (Shout out to Tyler Florence's Food Network show) Appreciate all of the time and thought put into your channel.

[@ParisTNT]

That frankencheese looked like one delicious monstrosity 🤤 Great video as usual! Happy about the winner 🥰

[@littlemax2012]

Where's the grill? LOL! Honestly man, your FrankenGrilledCheeseMelt is the next one I'm going to make. Great artists gather inspiration from their peers, and you've clearly captured that approach. Keep on collaborating, we celebrate that you guys and gals of the foodtube are constantly sharing the love and the food! This is way more entertaining than watching the budonkadonks go shopping in SoHo or whatever other impractical stuff is out there to poison the eyeballs. Keep it up and keep feeding us! #respect

The avocado pit removal thing made me laugh entirely too hard :'D The same thing happened to me while I was trying to teach my GF how to do it, just a couple days ago. I felt so humiliated. Thanks for validating me :D

Cilantro and avo for the knock out win. That is what makes baja mex food so good. Hard to beat that combo

[@Tiggler80]

The frankencheese cheese looks diggity dank

[@chaddierkes]

I’ve been watching cooking stuff on KZbin for years and some how I’ve never seen one of Stephen’s videos. The algorithm has failed me.

[@KSGomez88]

You will be binging his videos in no time. 😅

[@AdamWitt]

He's the man. Makes great stuff.

[@lisaboban]

Me too!!!

[@Timmycoo]

@@KSGomez88 He has a bunch of ~5 min vids too of great takes of simple recipes. Also his tomato sauce is outstanding and I make it all the time.

[@Lucysmom26]

As someone who actually makes a lot of the stuff i see on food KZbin, I can vouch for that dude's recipes being legit. He has another sandwich on his channel and a salad that kind of changed my life.

[@mellytempest]

Excited to be one of the first to watch this video! Love your work, man.

[@AdamWitt]

Thanks homie. I hope you dig it.

[@PaperScarecrow]

Can't recall who did it, but someone on YT made a french onion grilled cheese with smoked guda and a couple other cheeses. It looked and tasted insane.

[@TimFavorite-ql8si]

Bonus points for the Wardruna shirt.

[@jamesmassillo7460]

Always look forward to your vids!

[@dzarsos]

I want to think I'd pick Kenji's, because it appeals to me conceptually, but I make my own grilled cheese with tomato and pesto, so I'm pretty sure I'd be right there with ya.

[@M.d.h3333]

The “rare-bit” is actually a dish from wales normally referred too as Welsh rarebit off the west side of England so not English but close and is usually made thick with lots of cheese and ale on sourdough topped with Worcestershire sauce it is delicious

[@Sklikucs]

It's pronounced rare bit (rare as in steak) and (bit as in bits and pieces) it's a traditional dish called Welsh rarebit, and its uses a lighter bitter ale.

[@insidiousengineering]

Sorry bro. Chef Tyler for the win.

[@australopithecus_lucis]

Aye

[@redeye1016]

It’s pronounced “rare bit”: Welsh Rarebit 350g Mature Cheddar, grated 1 large egg, lightly beaten 2 tbsp beer (preferably stout) or milk 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp English mustard pinch cayenne pepper 2 thick slices white bread, preferably from a bloomer loaf Set aside 1 heaped tablespoon of grated cheese. Mix the rest with the egg, beer (preferably stout) or milk, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and cayenne. Preheat the grill to high and toast the bread on both sides. Spread the cheese mixture on top and then sprinkle on the reserved cheese. Grill until the cheese is melted and starting to turn golden brown. Serve immediately. Delicious!

[@HeratH13]

I'll never forget my grandad confusing the hell out of me by telling me he caught a welsh rarebit and then serving me cheese sauce on toast.

[@fcernig33]

it was a dig at the Welsh because the Brits believed they were so bad at hunting that they'd call a grilled cheese a rabbit

[@norvelled]

A bit sad you didn't reference Chef Tyler. He specializes in grilled cheese sandwiches.

[@matty2timez708]

Okay-Try this one. My parents are from Peoria. I have no idea if this is a "mom" concoction or if is a mid-west thing, but my mom always made us grilled cheese with honey...The cheese was (I am a kid from the 70's-80's---OLD) always from the "brick". I think all Gen X'ers know what I mean, but if not. It was that good ol' go too called Veleeta. Not the slices you get today, but the 12 inch long, by 4 inch by 4 inch brick that she cut to our liking..Sometimes, the cheese was a 1/4 inch thick...But hey...Back in those days no one died from fatty processed food...Anyway, not saying try velveeta, but any cheese will do...OH, white bread is a must with salted butter on both ends...then once melted and browned, peel it open and pour honey on it....close it up and enjoy....Or, just have a side of honey to dip it in... Another-Side note...Toasted white, with peanut butter, honey, and bacon....I think that was a true mid-western thing...My sister loved it...

[@nolans3026]

when Adam post, I click. I'm a simple man.

[@AdamWitt]

Thank you dood.

[@KSGomez88]

Stephen Cusato for the win

[@clint4951]

Mayo to fry the bread in... nooooooo... Bah. No no no. I've done a taste test with this. 10 people involved. Didn't even tell them I wasn't using butter. It looks beautiful when done, even browning. And it doesn't taste bad. But every one of those 10 people (and myself included) immediately knew a difference and it's inferior to butter.

[@samgrant83]

The rarebit sauce should have some English mustard in it really, rather than the Dijon in the butter, plus some cayenne pepper too - it needs much better British cheese, eg some Caerphilly, real Cheddar, and Wensleydale - it should have some bite! Rarebit doesn't need serving on top of a sandwich - it's fantastic just served on some toasted bread. I'd go with Stephen's as the best of the bunch, hand's down.

[@hugobranca]

I really like you Adam. One can see from space that you love food. If I walked into a place and saw you in the kitchen I would be ve very comfortable. I think Stephen is great also, and I agree that looks amazing. Well they all did. I do mine with salami, made one last night actually.

[@erikhanson9391]

I'm definitely going to make the Frankencheese but add the rarebit sauce with sodium citrate to smooth it out (thanks Kenji)

[@isaiahbaker4910]

The composition of that frankenwich seemed a bit much. If it were me (granted you are the creator of the video), it should have gone; For the cheese blend, shredded red cheddar from Babish, shredded fontanella from Stephen, and the shredded Tillamook cheddar from J. Kenji, mixed with that grated chorizo he had as well. Then thinly sliced avocado, and the bacon cut into strips on the bias, and place the two in alternating layers on one side of the sandwich, place the cheese and chorizo on the other with a liberal dose of Stephen's sauce, of which replacing the oil with the bacon fat. Do the dry method, which you did, and then the dijon compound butter, with a slight touch of the kewpie to help with cohesion, and then the weights on it after applying the compound butter.

[@vivakatrob13]

Love you Adam, but the way you said TillaMOOOOK unironically is killing me 😂 I’m from Oregon, it’s TILLA-MUK. ❤😅

[@cenkarson777]

I always add dry mustard powder when making mac and cheese, so it makes sense here.

I made Stephen’s grilled cheese today. wasn’t a fan. the fantinella cheese over took the flavor of all the other ingredients and it was all I could taste. he recommended 1/2 cup and that’s exactly how much I used. I would cut that in half or less. maybe replace with a mozz if you want to keep it cheesy.

Kenji for me- Babish looks delicious but a little too much messy (close second though) Stephen’s cosmetically looks the best, but just from myself I don’t dig avocado unless it’s cold or macerated like guacamole.. That sauce though, I can’t wait to try that looks like it could be and every day use item

[@Geekd]

You said it yourself, avocado sandwich... That isn't a grilled cheese. I bet it's delicious, big it's just way too focused on other ingredients and so really isn't a grilled cheese.

[@BlackHULK1389]

This may sound weird and I've heard it is weird but does anyone put mustard on their grilled cheese?

[@michaeljanas1708]

I wish you had eaten Kenji's sandwich without the hot sauce unless the sauce was part of the build. Outside sauces skew any of the results.because you aren't judging the sandwich on just its own merits.

[@kathrinlancelle3304]

I may not be a KZbin chef, but I will make you a damn good grilled cheese sandwich. Every time you come over for one, it will be different. The only constant will be bread, any kind of bread, and cheese, any kind of cheese. I love adding all sorts of things depending on what's in the fridge or in the pantry. Grilled cheese is just one of those things that's endlessly adaptable.

[@carllyngholm5568]

Can't imagine there are many people who watch this channel who aren't (at least somewhat) familiar with Kenji's as well, but I think you may have give those people who aren't, a slightly incorrect impression of his channel. You mentioned he doesn't talk at all in that particular video, but normally he IS quite talkative in his videos, basically non-stop actually. Not a big deal, but just felt the need to chime in and point that out.

My grilled cheese is better than all of these. 2 sliced white bread, buttered, 1 slice guda, 1 slice cheddar, in-between add garlic powder, cayenne pepper, light onion powder and paprika. Consistently flip untill cheese is melted i eat tf out of these.

[@Blueberry-sk7kg]

Anytime you add a meat or significant ingredient (for example an egg) it is no longer a grilled cheese. It is now grilled ham and cheese or grilled egg sandwich... A spice/herb or two is fine but an entire sauce (especially this one) takes it out of the "grilled cheese" category. Great video Adam, as always.

[@JDoors]

To me, a grilled cheese sandwich is cheese, bread, and a fat to toast it in. Those are not grilled cheese sandwiches, but ... whatever. I was mildly interested, and amused, by the three contenders. I didn't pick a "winner" since none were grilled cheese sandwiches. Bacon, avocado, chorizo, bunch-o-stuff with cheese, sandwiches maybe? Until your Frankencheese creation: Drool-city man. Whatever you call your not-a-grilled-cheese sandwich, it looked incredible.

[@DONphantasmo]

None of these are grilled cheese sandwiches. They are sandwiches with cheese as an ingredient. But, all the superfluous stuff like meats and sauces, by definition make it NOT a grilled cheese, Adam. Do you agree? I don't eat pork. If I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and it came out with chorizo, summer sausage, or other meats in it, I think I'll be ready to fight!!!

[@tanikokishimoto1604]

A restaurant would say what the ingredients are. So you could avoid ordering pork in your grilled cheese.

[@mnstorm99]

You rated these based on how often I do one of each of their recipes. Can't say I have done any Babish recipes, but they are often a bit crazy and fun to watch. I use Kenji's info as a bit more of a guide than for specific recipes. Stephen has many recipes I have done, including his Pasta with Prosciutto and Peas that I did last week.
