What's going on guys I'm Tyler and there is NoPerfectMovie! But movies are not
the only important thing in my life. As... I don't think that many people really know-
because I don't really talk about my personal life in my videos but
I actually work as a cook for a living and in our weekly group ZoomChats my boss has
come up with this 'Black Box Challenge' kind of like the shows "Chopped" or
"Beat Bobby Flay" or "Guy's Grocery Games"-shows which my family and I just love to sit
together and watch where each week my co-workers and I have to use three
specific ingredients and come up with a certain dish. Last week it was; eggs,
club soda & ketchup and I made what I consider to be a really good-looking
'scrambled egg in a nest' with a smile of ketchup that I felt like I owed people after
five and a half years of working there. And this week was much more of a
challenge we had to use; hot dogs, Tostito chips or just plain old corn chips and a
pear which... at 1st I felt like I didn't have that many options and my original
plan was to make 'spider dogs' with nachos drenched in pear salsa and before I get
too specific in what the end result ended up with I'm gonna show you
firsthand how I prepared the ingredients for my salsa!
Now originally the plan was to make nachos with the pair of salsa to go
along with my 'spider dogs' but my dad (who's a huge fan of Food Network
competition shows) had seen something on "Guy's Grocery Games" where somebody used
chips as breadcrumb as opposed to panko for deep fried food and he suggested
"Why not deep-fry something like your hot dog or these pickle chips that we bought" and
I thought "That'd be a-that'd be a nice idea"-I wasn't originally gonna deep-fry
anything because last week a couple people that I work with had deep fried
stuff and one of them came close to accidentally burning her kitchen down
and I didn't really want to repeat that- especially when my landlords are both in
here but eventually I got more comfortable with the ideas and the two
of us began to prep our work stations and some of this footage we didn't manage to
get the entire process and that's mostly because we were coming up with some
stuff on the fly, but you know what- that's one of the great things about
cooking; you never really know how your dish is gonna turn out in the end so I'm
gonna show you guys how we made deep-fried pickle chips and a deep-fried
corndog that my dad had this great idea to make for himself!
I'm not a super big fan of pears and this didn't really changed my
mind when I made the salsa but my dad's not a fan of pears either and he thought
it was really good, so it really depends on your palate or in terms of what your
taste buds are-Mine are significantly different from my folks so
that was kind of a given anyways, but I'm happy to say the deep-fried pickle chips
taste exactly the same way that you would want a deep-fried pickle; nice
texture, nice flavour of course, perfect seasoning-the fact that we had flour
mixed in with salt & pepper definitely added the seasoning that you would
expect from a pickle and that's really all I can say it was just really
delicious! And the only real problem with the 'spider dog' was I did let it get
a little too cold by when I was prepping the other stuff but other than that
I was really happy that it turned out so well for a 1st try and... yeah-
I gotta say I had a lot more fun with this dish than I thought I would! Guys, thanks
as always for watching! Sorry for the delay with the reviews but I did get
busy with some other stuff and I thought I'd make up for that by showing a video
that kind of Illustrated some of the things I've learned from work and I've
always want to give that a try... I was going to give that a try on my week off
which was the week that we got the stay at home order... I was really looking
forward to making videos where I got to binge with babish on some other stuff
but we still that plenty of time. Either way, thanks as always for watching!
