- Hello! And welcome back to our Friday fun.
- Now, this time we have superstar chefs
from the restaurant, Fallow. It's Jack and Will!
(crew cheering)
- What an entrance.
(crew laughing)
- Now, guys. Same rules as always.
You've got our base burger ingredients
and you're gonna try and cook up a sub-ten minute burger.
But you have also brought with you
three special ingredients to jazz it up.
What are they?
- Well, tonight we have Fallow sriracha, of course.
- Pluggity plug plug!
- [Will] Yeah, exactly.
And then we've got a beautiful nduja
which we make in-house
- Homemade nduja?
- About a month old, like all of the fat
from outside, out, the outside of the pig.
Stop waving that thing around, please.
(crew laughing)
And then we've got a little bit of marrow
which we're hoping to cook the burger in.
- [Barry] Okay.
- If Crofty smashed it.
- Now, this one's a little bit different.
Because there's two of you,
one of you will be answering the questions.
The other will be cooking.
Who's doing the questions?
- So, I'm gonna answer the question
and my beautiful assistant is gonna cook.
(crew laughing)
- Excellent news.
(energetic music)
- [Barry] Partaking in today's challenge
is Fallow restaurant's William Murray.
Will is 30 and from the great Bolton.
His favourite dish is the classic Sunday roast.
He's also known as Mr. Mushroom Man!
And speed appears to be his thing
with his unique skill being that he can sink
a pint of ale in under three seconds.
What a lad!
- Three ingredients up for grabs.
Quick fire questions. Question number one.
You met each other at Dinner by Heston
at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
On what London Square is the new Mandarin Oriental Hotel
opening this year?
- [Crew] Oh!
- [Barry] Oh, he's stunned! Oh!
- London Square.
- Grosvenor Square?
- It is not. It's Hanover Square.
- [Crew] Aw!
(hand slapping)
- That was a hard question!
- You have. Guys. Can we, can we swap over please?
(Barry laughing)
- It's a tough question.
If I'm honest, I wouldn't have known either.
- This thing here.
Nduja. This one's been made at home.
But where did it originate?
If you can get the town? Top marks.
- Calabria.
(hands clapping)
- We'll give it to you, yeah!
(Will cheering)
- And final question.
Popular sriracha brands are typically made
from red jalapenos.
But what is the Scoville rating for jalapenos?
Is it A. Two and a half thousand to ten thousand Scoville?
B. Fifty thousand to a hundred thousand Scoville?
Or C? 350,000 to 750,000 Scoville? A, B, or C?
- It got quiet.
- Let's go for B.
- It is not that punchy. It's A.
Just two and a half thousand to ten thousand Scoville.
which means, boys, you've got one of your three.
Which of your three ingredients?
The sriracha, nduja or the bone marrow?
- Oh, we can choose?
- [Ben] Which do you want to add?
- It's meant to be a spicy burger.
- What ingredients do you want?
- I mean, I want all three, but.
You messed up, didn't you? So.
(crew laughing)
- And that right there is teamwork.
(Will laughing)
- We're gonna have to go.
- Which one do you want?
- Nduja?
- [Jack] We'll go. He wants the nduja or the bone marrow
so we'll go with the sriracha, please.
(crew laughing)
- The sriracha hot sauce. Right!
- I've already got four condiments!
(crew laughing)
- It's gonna be such a plain burger!
- Okay. Fifty percent of the team in the kitchen.
Are you ready?
- Can't wait. Can't wait. I'm ready.
- Have you got your fingers crossed?
- Ah, no.
- [Barry] Ready, steady, burger!
- Let's go!
(crew cheering)
- [Barry] Right, shall we?
Seasoning straight away!
- Yeah?
- [Barry] Interesting, interesting!
- [Ben] He's loading the pepper cannon.
- [Will] Get that going first. Oh Lord! Touch to this.
- [Crew] Oh!
- Already?
- [Will] Yeah, just a little bit.
Just a little soupcon.
We'll get rid of this straight away. Don't need that one.
(crew laughing)
- Excellent cheese, but no place in a burger.
- Not for an American-style burger.
We're gonna do two patties.
- [Barry] Okay?
- Double stacked.
- [Barry] Before they go into the pan?
- [Ben] Squishy squishing into a hot pan. Nice.
- [Barry] So what's, what's the vision
in your mind here, then?
- I'm just gonna go for it, mate. To be honest.
It's, it's all gone to (bleep), hasn't it?
(crew laughing)
- Okay. You hoped for the nduja.
You hoped for the bone marrow.
What would you have done with those?
- Well we was gonna run the bone marrow through the burger.
So we had like, layers of moistness.
- [Barry] That would've.
- [Ben] They were, they were tough questions.
Instead, we're going for onion.
Where's that gonna go?
- [Will] We're gonna do a bit of caramelization
on the old onion.
- [Barry] Oh!
(burger sizzling)
In the pan with a burger! Straight away!
- [Will] In the pan!
We're not rewriting the rule book here, you know?
- Okay.
- [Will] Not too crazy.
- [Barry] Don't. Get your finger!
Get your finger in there!
- [Crew] Finger it!
(crew cheering)
(Barry laughing)
- He'll have that and a martini in no time.
(Barry laughing)
- [Ben] Excellent colour on at least half.
- [Barry] Oh!
(Will chuckling)
Right? Fine dice if you're gonna.
- [Ben] So what's, what's your burger sauce
or garnish gonna be?
- I'll let you know in a minute
but it's definitely gonna have sriracha in it.
(crew laughing)
- [Ben] So we've got the mayo, we've got the ketchup,
we've got the cornichon and we've got the mustard.
- It's saucy!
Does it need more wetness?
- [Ben] Nice! Cheese is going onto the beef
in it's final seconds of cooking.
- [Barry] A casual four slices.
- [Crew] Oh!
- Steam, seems to be a running.
- He's cloched the pan!
(crew laughing)
- How much sauce?
Just a bit.
- What are you doing?
- [Ben] The sriracha sauce goes on so many
of their menu items.
- Oh (bleep).
(crew yelling)
- [Ben] Plenty of time to go again.
And he's warming it in the oven.
- [Crew member] Nice.
- [Barry] Yes, yes yes, yes, yes.
- We're gettin' there, we're gettin' there,
- [Ben] Sweet. Little switchy route.
Yeah, that's fine.
He's going for the lettuce.
The tomato he's going for as well. Excellent use.
He's using it all. Amazing colour off that side.
- [Barry] Just a bit of sauce!
- [Ben] Little bit of freshness.
All still to play for as it comes out.
- [Barry] Oh oh oh oh oh oh.
The pan, sticky onions. double patty.
- [Crew member] Oh, lovely!
- [Ben] Yes.
- [Crew member] Come on!
- [Ben] Yes! Yes, yes, yes.
- [Barry] Cheeky bit of tomato in the middle.
(crew laughing)
- [Ben] And those onions cooked in the beef fat.
- [Crew member] Yes!
- [Ben] Sticky onions. As soon as you are happy.
- [Barry] Oh, Will!
- [Ben] With your finished burger,
we need you to ring that bell.
- [Barry] More sriracha!
- Yes.
- [Barry] Why?
(Barry laughing)
- [Ben] And ring the bell!
- [Barry] Ring the bell!
- [Crew] Ring the bell!
- [Ben] Yes!
(crew applauding)
That, Will, is a very sloppy, excellent timed burger.
Let's get into the sexies.
(crew cheering)
A few weeks ago, myself and the food team
went on a food safari to Croatia.
It was all part of the Vlog Fest competition.
Six content creators all exploring the country
and showcasing it with a single short video
through their own lens.
Ours, obviously, food and drink.
The competition is now live and only for another day or so.
So we'd love you to watch our video
and, even better, vote for us so that we are in
with a chance of winning.
You'll need to register to vote.
And in doing so, you'll also get entered into a competition
with a chance to win seven days in Croatia for yourself.
The link to the video and all the details are down below.
Thanks for your help!
(energetic rock music)
Excellent job.
- It's ridiculous. You proud of yourselves?
- I'm slightly concerned about the integrity
of the bottom of the bun.
- I, I, I think that is a valid concern.
It probably should be served with the spoon.
We're gonna hack into it, right?
- Say, wait.
Can he, can he, can you? Cut it up?
Yeah, we're gonna need spoons?
(Ben chuckling)
- Hold!
- Or bibs at least.
- Pivot! Oh, cuisson!
(crew laughing)
- I mean, you're gonna need at least a napkin.
Dig in.
(Barry laughing)
- I got. The bottom is so soggy, I can't even feel it.
- Juicy.
(spoon clattering)
- It feels like one of those, mush it like a child.
- Get your thumb through it.
- Oh, I'm in. Right.
- Cheers, boys.
- Cheers.
- Yeah, cheers.
(upbeat music)
- Mm!
- That sriracha.
- Oh!
- Mayo combo. That is really good.
- If I'm honest, could do with some more sriracha
If I'm honest. You know, mate?
(Barry laughing)
- Well, you can find it in our online shop.
- He has actually mellowed out.
- Yeah, hasn't it?
That's absolutely delicious!
I mean, no offence, it looks horrific.
- [Crew] Oh!
- No, no! No no!
- Disagree, Baz. Disagree, Baz.
- No it's, it's, it's, horrifically good. Right?
- Oh, nice save, mate!
(Will laughing)
(Barry laughing)
- I like. I like the fact that it had the nod to the lettuce
and the tomato. It looked fresh
as well as the sriracha dribble.
- [Will] Freshness is key, yeah.
- And on top of that, you said it yourself
that the burger's really nicely cooked.
A little bit of char, still slightly pink in the middle.
- Touch more seasoning, if I'm honest.
(crew laughing)
- It's almost like you planned that.
- That that was the nduja, mate. Actually, yeah.
- Baz thinks it's disgusting, but I think it's great.
So it definitely makes the leaderboard.
- You're not welcome at the restaurant.
- I don't, I, I did not say that!
- I'd, I'd say double patty was a way to go.
I think that was a good tact.
Getting a little bit of acid reflux
on the old sriracha right now
So I think maybe just a touch less, just a touch.
(crew laughing)
But yeah, rounded off very nicely with a beautiful
fresh salad. And I mean, look.
That's the money shot right there.
- Is it? Is it?
(Barry laughing)
- And that's what the spoons for.
(Will laughing)
It definitely makes the board.
There's probably no secret
in the sense it was definitely sub ten minutes.
So again, definitely makes the board.
But before we give you your time, what you calling it?
- It's gonna be the Fallow Fireball.
- Fallow Fireball.
- Fallow Fireball. Okay, cool!
But as for your time, Ebbers, do the honours?
- An impressive four minutes, 28 seconds.
(crew cheering)
Which as it stands, Put you number three on the board.
So way up there!
- Of how many?
- How many? We won't go into that.
- Seven? Seven?
(Will laughing)
Third's pretty good.
- Boys, thank you so much for coming down.
That is a disturbing looking burger
but absolutely delicious.
- Done it again!
(Crew laughing)
What?
- [Crew member] Stop talking!
- What?
- We invite nice guests in. You're so rude to them!
- But I'd love to, I'd love to have you back
and I'd love to visit Fallow restaurant one day. Please.
- Well, no, if it's both of you.
- Be a bit nicer.
(Barry laughing)
The good news is we have done another video
if you haven't already seen it with the guys.
So check that out and check
out the YouTube channel where there's loads of video
including the best POV chef.
Thanks gents.
- Thank you.
