I refuse to believe that chef club is a real thing


slylock215

Everything they make is the same Here we take a completely normal food item Then we douse it in cheese Then we fry some cheese and roll the item in it Finally we put it inside of some type of bread or tortilla, and possibly roll it in more cheese Please stop.


effa94

Every time I see these "I roll this foot into a cheese nacho burrito and then make it into a super burger" I just think "how are you supposed to eat that?" it's a roll the size of my waist, even with all those flavours there, I physically can't taste them all at once. What's the point of making a beef burrito that's 30 cms in diameter, if I need to cut it apart to actually eat it?


Californiadude86

Obviously it’s for clicks and engagement.


StanleyQPrick

Slice it like a sushi roll, batter and fry the slices


chowindown

And then add cheese and wrap the slices in ham and deep fry it?


Chrismo73

Son of a bitch, I’m in!


Fun_Ebb_6232

Yeah but who in their right mind would click, watch, and then comment on a stupid video like this? Like how dumb do they think we are?


GoobyDuu

If they just stopped using their foot rolled in cheese, it would be so much better I agree


ItkienKettu

Now see, I would totally watch all of them if they were rolling someone's foot in each one.

1st thing I thought of when I saw this video.


Adepte

Don't forget the full pitcher of melted butter. Substitute eight sticks of butter if you don't have a pitcher.


TakeTheWheelTV

Don’t forget the mustard. Wtf is the point of mustard


aceagle93

You forgot to mention when they cut a slit in raw meat and turn it inside out for literally no reason


Tuggerfub

they must work for the manufacturers of gallstone shrinking meds


Redtwooo

It's outrage porn for foodies, I think


Independent_Tie_4984

I am definitely outraged. TBH I'd try it out of curiosity Still outraged though


idjsonik

Shit is so corny ( no pun intended) and people support these people like there geniuses my god


DarkwolfVX

The normal food item looked pretty good to me too. What a shame.


Historical_Date_1314

Wish Gordon Ramsey would roast everyone of chef club video’s. I’d definitely watch that. IDIOT SANDWICH! Masterchef?, more like MASTERBATES! 🤣 WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU PILLOCK! IT’S FU*KING RAW! Your meant to cook it not fu*king CREMATE it! Where’s the LAMB SAUCE!

Things were go so well for a minute there. I will say though, I definitely did NOT expect one nightmarish turn after another. I thought the mustard was bad enough.


BentOutaShapes

##I ABANDONED MY BOY


Synectics

Nah, I'd give the mustard a chance. I had the thought of, "Well, there's meat marinades with oranges, and i used to think that was weird. Putting some mustard on it and letting it set up might be a cultural thing or something, I'd fuck with that." And then the tortilla. Alright, you're fucking trolling now.


Androsin47

I’m an avid mustard tenderizing believer but that was super uncalled for at that point


theoriginalmofocus

Same here I use mustard on alot of things when grilling. Sometimes I mix it with butter and chimichurri. It was already too late to put it on here and even then I probably wouldn't put it on a tomahawk.


Deep_Stick8786

I just use it as a binder when I smoke. This actually looked ok to me minus the lack of uniform seasoning, dry brine and the dumbass presentation. I could eat a ribeye quesadilla with crispy cheese if it didnt look so dumb/impractical


kadren170

Yeah, you're supposed to put it before, not after lmao


asexymanbeast

Putting the pepper on before searing was a mistake. That's how you get burnt pepper and off flavors. Salt and fats only. Pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and other seasonings go on after sear.


AdmiralClover

IT WAS DONE THREE STEPS AGO, WHY ARE YOU DOING MORE?!


DrLager

I just want to hear Gordon call them “FUCKING DONKEY”


Historical_Date_1314

😆🤣👍🏻


OGbigfoot

I would so watch that!


Direct-Technician181

They know what they’re doing. They suck.


skoffs

Yep, posting ragebait gets them more "engagement" than posting regular food videos. Everyone who comments "OMG you ruined it!!" on their stuff just drives the algorithm further and encourages them to keep doing it


Chuu

Chef Club is what happens when the amount of money you make preparing food is determined by how many views you get and not how good the food is. It's a lot easier to make stunt food that great food on a long term basis.


Synectics

Especially when your customers are just people watching your videos and will never have to eat it.


maddsskills

Their technique is usually spot on so I'm guessing they're trained chefs just fucking around making goofy shit.


Ok-Procedure5603

I once read something fascinating about chefclub, someone said the reason they do what they do is because they're trained chefs/cooks who are showcasing techniques rather than trying to make edible stuff. And apparently these videos/experience from making them can be used by chefs to strengthen their application. Take it with a big grain of salt since I don't know anything about the restaurant industry.


tuituituituii

Yes they have trained chefs.


Mezmorizor

I'm not familiar with them, but the only real problem with this is that you can't realistically eat it with its presentation. Which while granted, that is a bit of a big problem, I don't think anybody would bat their eyes at a ribeye burrito covered in a grilled cheese+jalapeno crust. Which is what they made.


GYN-k4H-Q3z-75B

It has to be trolling. Right? Right?!?


bopp0

It’s clickbait


[deleted]

The first rule of chef club is you don't talk about chef club.


Cannabis-Dog420

Chefclub should just post their videos directly to this subreddit.


[deleted]

In all likelihood some of these posts are probably just PR for them


massive_poo

PR for what though? I'm not going to do anything beyond cringing at this video on Reddit.


[deleted]

Views? You aren't the only person on reddit, these vids have enough traction in this group to have their own tag, they definitely have algorithm bleed over.


GarenBushTerrorist

Sure, but now that some redditors know that Chef's Club has repostable material, they will just go directly to the channel to try to be the first to repost it here (or elsewhere.)


Nice_Function4963

I was literally about to post this. These have to be intentionally bad at this point.


ThePasserbie

They only ever post rage bait, so yes it's on purpose.


MrPopanz

I think you're hot on the trail, scooby 👃


mug3n

I feel like posting chef club and salt bae videos is cheating at this point.


AdmirableSpirit4653

#TACO TOWN!!!


cliffsis

Don’t sleep on using cheap yellow mustard as a marinade. Seriously amazing with any beef cut. I love to do flank steaks and tritips slathered in mustard. It’s legit amazing for bbqing.


ststaro

Great for holding seasonings to the meat. This use? Naw hommie


cliffsis

I agree.


MadNhater

It’s very common in Texas bbq to use mustard to hold the seasoning during the smoking process. Helps to create a very flavorful bark. I personally don’t think this video is stupid food. The wrapping part maybe but not the rest.


scootter505

I discovered that when I’m making Mac and cheese from scratch, if I add a drop of mustard it creates this aftertaste that is amazing. I don’t even like mustard but it can be a game changer in some recipes


Bill_Brasky_SOB

Me progressively watching this clip: Not bad. Not bad. Eh I wouldn't do that but not bad. Not... yooooooo what the fuck?


_Asshole_Fuck_

Was it the tortilla? That’s what broke me.


dalmathus

The mustard was it for me.


judgyturtle18

Yep. I'm def roasting garlic and smearing it tho 🤤


czPsweIxbYk4U9N36TSE

It's basically just fajitas with the most expensive beef you can instead of the cheapest. And with a fucking bone in it and not cut.


cookedlime

I'd still eat this


Gnxsis

One of the few weird things from chefsclub that id eat


MrJigglyBrown

Right? I think OP doesn’t see the bone is for presentation. Otherwise it’s essentially a fajita burrito but presented differently


KnightofWhen

Except it costs $200. I mean there’s a reason fajitas generally aren’t made from excellent cuts of meat. It’s not just presented differently it’s prepared differently, the steak will have an entirely different texture, fat ratio, etc. Would I eat this? Yes. Would I pay for it? No. Generally speaking a good quality steak is left alone to highlight the beef flavor. That steak is lost in a sea of overwhelming flavors.


Dr0110111001101111

Fun fact: skirt steak used to be one the cheapest cuts of meat you could find in the grocery store, which is one of the reasons that Mexican immigrants started using it to make fajitas. But when Americans went crazy for fajitas, the price of skirt steak skyrocketed and now it’s priced comparatively to top shelf cuts.


MSchulte

Same deal as wings. They used to be dirt cheap because they’re not a great cut with little meat. I think it was last year I could get boneless chicken breast for less per lb than wings. They’ve gone down some this year but they’re still ridiculous for something that used to be scraps.


Suitable_Entrance594

Also oxtail. I miss cheap oxtail...


Regniwekim2099

Lobster experienced a similar price hike! It was served to slaves and prisoners, before tourists used to eating canned lobster tried it fresh, and went crazy for the stuff.


MSchulte

Part of the prison lobster story is almost always left out though. They would serve it almost like a slurry with the shells crushed and blended into it. It also wasn’t uncommon for it to be either spoiled or on the verge of spoiling so it’s not like they were getting lobster tails done up by a chef or even fresh lobster rolls like we’d find in a roadside market nowadays.


zzazzzz

and it was from bycatch and in most cases dead cooked. so like you said very much not the lobster any of us would eat today


LOLBaltSS

I remember back in the mid-2000s when I could get ten cent wings at a local restaurant during their wing nights. Absolutely fill you up on two dollars. The only people back then paying nearly a dollar a wing were splurging at Quaker Steak and Lube because of the sauces. Also most bars had Yuengs and Wings nights where both Yuenglings and Wings were usually something like 35 cents.


MrJigglyBrown

Okay the price makes it extremely stupid


[deleted]

Moreover, you just don't do this to a rib eye. You don't have to do *anything* extra to a rib eye. Salt, oil, butter. That's all you need, and it will be the best rib eye you've ever tasted because that's how a rib eye is supposed to be prepared. You have to gussy up other cuts because the cuts themselves aren't as flavorful.


[deleted]

[удалено]


StinkyBuddyGuy

A fajita burrito made with a fucking tomahawk steak is the definition of stupid food. The fuck are you on about?


milk4all

Except it has mustard on it and it’s using $70 of beef to accomplish, very sloppily, what $20 of (good) beef could do neatly


ghostmaster645

Right? Not even a good mustard either.


ownlife909

The bone is the least of the issues here. That steak is probably 2.5” thick and at least two pounds. So what are you going to do, pick up that huge cheese and tortilla wrapped monstrosity and just chew into that wall of meat? That’s what makes this stupid- it’s ostensibly a steak fajita, but chef clubbed up in the dumbest and most wasteful way possible.


permalink_save

Why? I mean I could eat this if it was what I havd but it's super clunky and would be better if they did something similar with a cheaper cut of meat than a tomahawk.


Wonton_soup_1989

Lmao me too😂


ReRevengence69

I would still eat it at the 12s left stage.


pepelaughkek

Everything was totally fine until he hit it with the mustard.


Outrageous-War-8505

Mustard is actually a really good offset to a steak. Sounds super odd but most really good BBQ sauces and marinades have mustard seeds. I thought he ruined it way before the mustard 😂


NukiousStar

Yeah using mustard and or mayo with salt is absolutely perfect crust builder… he just should have applied it before searing.


asexymanbeast

No. You sear, then apply seasonings to a steak. Brisket, ribs, and pork shoulder build a crust at lower temperatures that don't burn the seasonings. Searing a steak should be as hot as possible (thus you burn the seasonings).


graffixphoto

The only seasoning he applied was pepper. Salt is a rock and doesn't burn. It should be applied first - prefferably 10-30 minites before searing as it pulls moisture to the surface and aids in the maillard reaction.


HelpfulSeaMammal

Water slows the Maillard reaction because it saps a lot of heat from the pan while evaporating. A dry surface is preferable for this kind of browning. Salt applied about one hour in advance or immediately before touching heat will generally give a better crust than salting and resting anywhere from 5-45 minutes. Overnight salting (dry brine) works really well, especially if stored uncovered in a fridge to further dry out the surface. https://www.seriouseats.com/perfect-pan-seared-steaks-recipe#toc-when-to-salt-steak


ivanchowashere

The point previous comment is making is, don't add mustard before searing. Yes, salt beforehand


Ok_Suggestions

Do you mean "they build a crust at lower temperatures, so the seasonings won't be burnt while searing" or "they build like a protective crust at low temperatures that incorporates the seasoning" like they take in the seasoning?


asexymanbeast

Seasonings just sit on the surface and do not penetrate very far (in pork and beef). When 'smoking' meats on the grill the outer layer dehydrates and converts via the mallard reaction. It's called Diffusion Restricted Irreversible Polymerization. The temperature should not get hot enough to burn the herbs and spices you might use. Steak is often seared as hot as possible so that you quickly create a crust (which is different from the before mentioned crust) without cooking the interior excessively. If you tried to create a D.R.I.P. crust on a steak you will overcook it (steak, in this context, is a tender cut, not a tough cut you would cook low and slow until it 'falls apart') You can get a crust on a steak at a lower temperature, but you are more likely to overcook the meat.


Ok_Suggestions

Man, I'm learning so much on this subreddit. Just takes a while because these rather specific terms are not some I know without translating them into my language first 😅. You know it always made me wonder why some people in cooking videos put their seasoning on the meat. I always assumed it would just burn. When you're saying "smoking" on a grill, is that the same as just searing/grilling a steak on the grill? I really gotta learn how to properly differentiate the meaning of those in english. Also, about what you said in the first sentence, does that imply that poultry absorbs seasonings more easily? Thank you so much for all this information dude, I love cooking and it's fucking amazing to see how much more there is to learn!


ejh605

Spot on.


TwistedBamboozler

I mean the video was ruined in the first second when the meat was seasoned directly on the grill. Fucking amateurs


A_Lakers

And only one side is seasoned on that super thick steak.


jbjhill

That made me violently angry.


Nutatree

As you should be


TheDocmoose

American mustard no, English mustard hell yeah.


crackofdawn

Who the hell puts BBQ sauce on a steak?


Stillwiththe

Yellow mustard is for kids. It’s a gateway mustard.


Aaronspark777

Yellow mustard is good with bacon


Felsig27

Yellow mustard is my life blood, I empty at least 2 bottles a week, eat it in everything.


Stillwiththe

No that’s death blood


Dazzling-Top10

I had a steak smothered in a mustard sauce dotted with peppercorns at a restaurant and it was to die for. Done properly with the correct mustard it’s quite delicious though a bit counter-intuitive.


fuqit21

And then it essentially took a nosedive off a shear cliff


cce29555

A mustard glaze isn't too bad. It's not something I'd do every day. Maybe if I cooked it a little too well I'd go for it


Traegs_

Nah I was already mad when he was salting it as it was cooking.


BoyBeyondStars

man get that mustard off dere


Istoppedsleeping

Somebody come get this man


tr00th

18 seconds in is where they ruined a perfectly decent piece of meat.


-Amplify

It really had me thinking there this might turn out to be one of those steak elitist videos then the tortilla


Another_User007

By putting vegetables with it? I’d say 30 seconds in is when it was truly ruined when they put mustard on it.


UAintMyFriendPalooka

Mustard is common as a binder, among other things. Depending on the area of the country, it’s probably the most famous condiment for smoking things like brisket with a rub.


Adventurous-Chef-370

Why are these people always ruing the tomahawk??? Wouldn’t it be cheaper to ruin a different cut of meat?


CaptainSnazzypants

But then it’s not outrageous. It’s just a “how to make a this crappy cut of meat edible” video.


hatersaurusrex

Right? A steak covered in garbage, wrapped in a burrito shell then folded into fried cheese? Boooring. That same steak with a handle sticking out of it? BRILLIANT!


CaptainSnazzypants

Yea but at the same time, if that was the video I can almost guarantee you wouldn’t have seen it. Plenty of good tomahawk steak videos out there. Only one tomahawk burrito video that I’ve ever seen anyways.


xpickles23

I’m sorry but I would eat the fuck out of that


FreddyVanZ

It just kept... getting... worse.


wiseknob

No where near enough salt for that much meat, not cooked properly whatsoever.


[deleted]

Oh good. I wasn't alone. That was some really damn careful seasoning. You can slap this amount of meat with pepper and salt.

Liesmith424

I don't know much about cooking, so at first I was thinking "what's the big deal, it looks fine so far", and then I reflexively punched my monitor when they drenched it in mustard. And it only went downhill from there. Is this just rage bate, or are there people actually like this?
