Confit duck is my favorite way to eat duck, not that a perfectly cooked duck breast isn’t enjoyable but confit is king 👑 and the duck fat roasted potatoes are absolutely unforgettable!! Just got back from LA where I voiced a character in a animated movie 🎥 I’m back at it now and am looking forward to making some great content!!
One thing that really impresses me about him is the fact that he's also great at identifying and wild foraging plants and mushrooms. He's been doing this stuff for years, long before he adopted the funny persona that he uses now in his videos.
I like you man. You’re a cool dude, your content is fun to watch and you’ve got mucho culinary knowledge. You seemed a little “less excited” at the start. As a content creator, it’s best to take a break when you feel you need one man, not saying you do, could’ve been an off day, but if ever feel like you need to, stray away from the camera for a bit my dude. Your fans really seem to appreciate you for you. Even if you’re less animated, I’m sure everyone would be just as involved and appreciative. Just food for thought mang. Much love!
Take a look at some of his older videos before he started pointing out the shorts. He's actually very laid back most of the time. He just adapted his persona to accommodate the high energy, personality driven style that works well for short videos. His persona is really funny, and it's obviously opened doors for some other opportunities, like the voice over he mentioned. But if you scrape the surface of the persona, he's legitimately knowledgeable about food and cooking techniques. I've watched a lot of different UA-camrs doing food content, and Sonny is one of my favorites. He doesn't use his cooking channel to sell unnecessary products or gadgets, he doesn't make things unnecessarily complicated, he respects his viewers' intelligence, and despite his over-the-top and funny presentation, he is very approachable and ultimately very humble. He wants his viewers to be able to do what he does, and that tells me he has a lot of respect for his viewers.
His channel is the best! He has such an inviting, down-to-earth personality! Not to mention, he’s really good at simplifying recipes too-great instructor. Thanks!
I've got a jar of rendered duck fat, and I've been using it to help sear my steaks, absolute game changer for sure, great flavor and helps get that gorgeous crust on it.
How many people immediately googled “giant tub of goose fat” before watching the entire video? I sure the hell did!That duck and potatoes look amazing Sonny. Congrats on your voice over cameo!
Sonny, I love your videos. You’re inspiring me every day to follow my passion for cooking. I don’t know that I’ll ever make a transition to pro chef but at least my family gets to enjoy a lot of what you’ve taught in your uploads.
Sonny, you are wonderful! I'm 70 years old, have my first cookbook from my 7th birthday and never fail to learn from you! Plus, you're so stinking entertaining!! Hope you're happy in Colorado but maybe you should do some cooking shows in Phoenix!?
Sonny, that entire dinner looks fabulous. You had my mouth watering! Love your videos so much keep them coming. And yes rest when you need to and take time off because it is extremely important.
You do put alot of time and soul into what you fix... can't always keep giving giving and pushing forward without taking some time to refuel and recharge the ole energy tank up... can't run on empty, glad that ya took some R&R. Those potatoes look super good, as well as the duck which I've neevr tried before.
You are straight up the best culinary UA-camr. You clearly know you stuff. Just don’t burn out. Take care of yourself, bro. Ps I’m gonna try this duck confit - I’ll let you know how I get on:)
This Thanksgivings I did this with our turkey, using lard. Duck and duck fat might be the apex experience, but meat and fat are the common denominator. I did cut it in sections, because I didn't have a way to do it whole. In the last hour before dinner, I sliced it cold from the fridge, put a tiny bit of broth in the baking pan, covered the pan with foil and warmed it to serving temperature. Most tender turkey I ever made.
Seriously love your full length videos! You teach chef level technique to the home cook and I love it! Every video I pick up one or two techniques from you! Small tips like letting the duck sit in oil for me what makes your channel an instant watch!
Duck is one of my favorite meats, for years I have wanted to make this classic dish and have been to intimidated to do so. Every time I have heard a chief talk about it, they made it seem super hard. The way you explained it, made me have the confidence to take it on. Well that and say to myself that chief's make it sound complicated so we won't put them outta work lol
Lucky is the person who gets to dine on food like that all the time. It always looks fantastic and probably tastes even better. I think I saw the fridge trembling earlier knowing you had greatness on your plate once again.
Last time I was this early I was born 3 months premature and ruined my parents plan to go a Led Zeppelin show... They ended up going without me, so my grandma says.. I don't blame them.
Dudethatcancook, I find your content entertaining and informative. It’s the cooking show we wanna see, with very simple explanations and preformed by an entertaining person.
Of you can’t come up with enough fat to submerge, I have found that sealing the duck parts in a bag and using a sous vide cooker can be a pretty close approximation. Then once it’s cooked through you can just crisp up the skin under a broiler or a torch.
For your rosemary salt for duck, why not switch the lemon for orange zest? They are both citrus but the later is a natural pair Also I nearly nut when you put shallots into a pot of pure goose fat.
That seasonings, if yah know yah know right. Duck is intimidating. Your exciting attitude towards your work reminds me of the great Paul Prudhomme. Good work Blessings.
When you see the proof of Sergeant Gilbert’s contribution to fridge-hitting, you definitely know that another compilation video is coming. 👌👌 Please don’t transfer his consciousness to another vessel, it’s proof of his existence that we’ve come to know and love!
Marco makes some pretty fabulous roast new potatoes in clarified butter flavored with cube and knorr vegetable stockpot- but of course its YOUR choice 😆
I think i could watch a load of these vids and I would be prepared for the first few rounds of master chef! amazing content, you are giving everyone cooking lessons!
I have a red dutch oven just like your blue one and Sonny let me tell you I COOK EVERYTHING WORTH COOKING TO LONG PERFECTION IN THIS! you're right best cookware EVER!
Remember when Sonny showed up on his videos in an arm brace? The fridge did that.. This inspired Sonny so train jiu jitsu and eventually he became strong enough to put the fridge in its place. Sergeant Gilbert obviously needs to train, too.
If gordon ramsay doesnt invite this man soon for a cooking video duet I dont know what to say anymore your a good cook man and I love how you keep the instructions nice and simple
That J. Kenji Lopez baking soda trick is the only way I make roasted potatoes now. I like to do the "infuse your oil with your aromatics and strain them out" trick, too. think I like them better than fries.
Confit duck from the can is amazing, i can just imagine how awesome this must have tasted. *I made the mistake of commenting before i saw the whole video, and I must say, this looks amazing. Excellent job.
I made duck confit for my family and my adult kids threw half of the duck away, they thought that the crispy skin was part of the bone. As I was clearing up the kitchen, I was quietly crying inside.
I watch a lot and of cooking shows. You never cease to amaze me with your side knowledge of cooking and classical techniques as well as on the fly thoughts. This duck dish is so good. The work that went into it caused me to bitch about it. But the outcome was alarmingly good. Now what I do with about a pound of goose fat? 😂 Great videos man.
You giving me the vibe that you need a vacation and someone to cook for you once lol. So that being said I'm in California and when ya get here we gonna do a catch and cook trout edition and you get to watch and eat. I'll be waiting
Just a question no hate intended but why not dry all the ingredients needs for rosemary salt and blend that together instead of using fresh herbs and have to refrigerate it?
Add ginger and orange peel on top of your seasonings and...trust meee....and juniper berries should be there .. anyways, Thanks for the video!! A fan .
0:15 He really does hate that fridge
He nearly sacrificed an expensive steak to hurt it, yes he does lol
Ok what did the fridge did to him? I hate the fridge too but what did the fridge do?
@@deity4919 this made me laugh out loud and wake my partner up late at night
Ur health is important sonny if u need a break we are patient
Yeah i could sense something right off the bat.. he wasnt himself! Everyone needs a little reset once in a while!
Especially when dealing with professional chef and waiter. Their job is incredibly tough on the moral and request an insane amount of devotion.
He lools enthusiastic to me but maybe its the cooking process coz hes always having low voice during that period of time.
He's not as enthusiastic in the long cooking videos, he's completely fine
And so is the duck confit
Confit duck is my favorite way to eat duck, not that a perfectly cooked duck breast isn’t enjoyable but confit is king 👑 and the duck fat roasted potatoes are absolutely unforgettable!! Just got back from LA where I voiced a character in a animated movie 🎥 I’m back at it now and am looking forward to making some great content!!
What movie was it?
@@hammyhamsters9210 it’s called a piece of cake and comes out this fall
@@thatdudecancook so excited!
Noice bro.
Use lard for the fat. It's cheap and probably better than oil
So happy that you’re not just a showman like most of cooking UA-camrs, but an amazing chef. Great job buddy
I appreciate that! I’ve put some serious time in
An amazing person all the way around! Def my fav. UA-cam channel, keep being you!
This is SOOO true
@@thatdudecancook can you please do dog treats, my hooman can eat too.
That way we can see your pooch again! ❤️❤️🐕🐕❤️

Hmm fair call. Life's a b.
I love this man. His passion and enthusiasm is illustrated with such great humor. It's ear catching and I love it
You HAVE to make a video encouraging people to buy whole chickens and butcher it their self! It’s so easy to butcher and so cost effective!
Huge, ready made chicken at Costco for $8 big ones.
@@blaXkgh0st not just that but it’s so easy to cut up and use individually

Be yourself, Sonny. It‘s not as exhausting for you in a long term and the fans will understand
Can’t wait for that fridge to get a two hour long monologue plotting it’s revenge on you
LMFAO monologue
Yep.

That is the best video on duck ever ! Thank you, millions !
excellent video, unlike other cooks, you took your time, bravo

Really nice to have an experienced chef doing free youtube content
Love your videos dude don’t ever stop
Maan!! You are truely the best!! I enjoy watching you a lot!
Last time I was this early I caught my wife with the mail man
😆😆😆😆
Last time I was this early I was born 3 months premature and ruined my parents plan to go a Led Zeppelin show... They ended up going without me, so my grandma says.. I don't blame them.
Now let’s go!
I thoroughly enjoy your long form videos. I prefer fewer videos of higher quality than more frequent videos that just quickly go by.
You're clearly one of the most knowledgeable chefs on UA-cam. Can tell straight away you know what you're talking about.
Dudethatcancook, I find your content entertaining and informative. It’s the cooking show we wanna see, with very simple explanations and preformed by an entertaining person.
Tons of love from Lebanon Middle East! Thank you!
What baking soda does is increase pH level of the surface of potatoes, making it easier for maillard reaction to happen (browning of potatoes)
Of you can’t come up with enough fat to submerge, I have found that sealing the duck parts in a bag and using a sous vide cooker can be a pretty close approximation. Then once it’s cooked through you can just crisp up the skin under a broiler or a torch.
words don't work to tell you how happy you and your videos make me
EVERYTHING YOU MAKE LOOK SO FREAKING GOOD LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Ellen!!

Good to see back from LA Sonny... Keen to see your voice over part in the movie. Well done Mate.
I genuinely loved this recipe...You kept my interest cause you must love Duck.. I do.
I'll be right over!
Well done!
my goodness sonny. this was a good one. what a stupendous chef you are. my oh my.
Le Creuset is expensive, but you'll never need to replace it. And they do almost any pan/dish you could want.
True, but like you said, they are heirloom quality. I use my grandmothers saucier every day almost
I love your method of presentation. Subscribed!
Great job SONNY!! U can tell the effort u put in on this one, it shows.
That seasonings, if yah know yah know right. Duck is intimidating. Your exciting attitude towards your work reminds me of the great Paul Prudhomme. Good work Blessings.

looks AMAZING. and so glad to see sergeant gilbert back in action
I think i could watch a load of these vids and I would be prepared for the first few rounds of master chef! amazing content, you are giving everyone cooking lessons!
sonny make my day sunny ☀️
I am the terror that quacks in the night....
I really love youu and your cooking videos and the poor fridge too. Your efforts into entertaining us is very much appreciated. Stay amazing.
I have a red dutch oven just like your blue one and Sonny let me tell you I COOK EVERYTHING WORTH COOKING TO LONG PERFECTION IN THIS! you're right best cookware EVER!
I like the transition, he literally went from being beardless to have a beard and a mustache
Came across your channel by accident and I've been hooked ever since.
Yaassss! Love the longer episodes!
Great video, I really liked the yukon potatoes with the baking soda trick
Dude has become my favorite chef to watch on UA-cam
Love the longer content
amazing dish dude! love your content!
take however many breaks as you need you are the nicest person i know✌🏽
Him: makes vid
Fridge: this my last day man I’m bouta go hom-
Him: noo
Fridge: damn
One day that fridge is gonna fight back
Remember when Sonny showed up on his videos in an arm brace? The fridge did that..
This inspired Sonny so train jiu jitsu and eventually he became strong enough to put the fridge in its place.
Sergeant Gilbert obviously needs to train, too.
If gordon ramsay doesnt invite this man soon for a cooking video duet I dont know what to say anymore your a good cook man and I love how you keep the instructions nice and simple
Great video and recipe Sonny. I've have pressed duck confit before and it was wonderful. Your dish looks fantastic.
i love the part after he takes a bite and slams the utensils on the table, hilarious
I had duck confit in Paris. Best meal in my life.
Never had duck but this looked good! The potatoes.....out of this world!
I always used to take meat directly out of a braise. Never again! I'll let it rest. Thanks Chef.
Great go! and thanks for the baking soda tip.
That J. Kenji Lopez baking soda trick is the only way I make roasted potatoes now. I like to do the "infuse your oil with your aromatics and strain them out" trick, too. think I like them better than fries.
So many awesome tips and treasures in ur content Sonny...and always remember that health is #1
The rosemary salt sounds great but the lemon zest, garlic seems like it'd burn easily at high heats
You rocked in "Gone in 60 seconds "!
Oh man this is the best duck dish I’ve ever seen
Great job master sonny 👏👏👏
I love these longer videos. Much better content!

This dude is a wizard I swear
😂why
This was super interesting video never heard of this technique thank you! Also ur adorable salad was adorable
The potatoes you cooked are like the technique of Chef H. Blumental! Nice dish, 👏
That lodge grill pan you used as a weight looks like a good product.
Fun to watch. Show some love to the frig, touch love! Good stuff.
I just made the rosemary garlic salt.
I love the longer videos!
I love all my la cruisette pots. I even use a large one for my dog's food dish
As a Chef UA-camr, you are the Master in my books, - just love your vids, they are quick, there is No Nonsense, and No Bull%*# - Thank You
