Stopped by Costco today and noticed they had crab in a small tub. It didn’t say “jumbo lump”, so I turned my nose up and kept walking. Next to scallops, crab cakes are a favorite seafood dish. Maybe I’ll feel differently after watching your video🤔
I wanted to make sure you saw the audio cut out after you said crab salad so you could take it down, from the 45 seconds or so i watched it was going well. I hope you find the audio.

I reacted the same way. $80 is an insane amount for a grinder, but now I'll definitely have to look for a better grinder than my current one. I didn't know grinder technology had come so far.
That INE is actually the WeberWorks Moulin. It’s like $300+ which is insane, especially as I’m not really fond of it but I’m testing a bunch of pepper mills now so I bought it to try it.
@@JKenjiLopezAlt just by looking at it that grinder is so, so awful… can you like ship it here to the philippines once you’re done so i can experience its awfulness, i’ll take one for the team. thanks. yo weberworks grind me tf up!
I just realized I have a head of iceberg that I bought 3 days ago for the sole purpose of making one sandwich. Thank you for saving the lettuce, Kenji.
I love how you incorporate ingredients that you have left over or were on the verge of going bad. Really great usage on that stale homemade hot dog bun!
This is so beautiful and I am craving a wedge salad now. I always make them with romaine, as that is my favorite salad green! Thank you Kenji. I have lots of hotdog buns too. You actually gave me the idea to use the stale ones in a few days to make fried croutons for my panzanella.
I think I'm going for the grilled cabbage version you mentioned. Would love to see a video on that, as well. Great channel. Great information, and very Zen. Like the way you operate, man.
Love the idea of the breadcrumbs! The only thing I usually prefer with wedge salads is taking the iceberg wedge and cracking it open a bit from the center, and pushing/crushing it down slightly. That tends to give you more surface area for toppings, and slightly fewer layers of iceberg per bite.
the fact that kenji used a stale hotdog bun to make bread crumbs shows how creative and versatile of a chef he is, its one thing to cook, but to use the ingredients around you is another
I looooove a wedge salad! I don't do bacon but it's so refreshing and it stands up to the rich blue cheese dressing nicely. And it's a great alternative vehicle for delishy summer tomatoes for a switch up.
The magic of pre-recorded videos. 😊 Was just looking at your bi-plane Insta pics and videos. Looks like you and your family are enjoying a well deserved vacation. Loved the story of the kindness of strangers giving you some prawns for the restaurant to prepare so you could enjoy. Put positivity out in the world and you get some back. 💜
Probably my all-time favorite salad! Thank you Kenji for showing us your version. I definitely will try this out as the wife and I both love em... love the slab bacon idea. I bet that keeps longer in the fridge too! While I'm rambling on ...(you may not even see this, I know you can't read all comments) I grew up near San Mateo and have been dying to visit Wursthall since I heard about it. I am so surprised you're in Seattle now... I've watched many if not most of your videos and you had (have?) An amazing place in S.M! That backyard with your grill station is an inspiration to me. I was hoping to possibly meet you when we do make it to Wursthall but I guess now you're managing it remotely with your partners since you moved. Much love, and keep the vids coming!
Hey Kenji, I don't know if you've ventured into African cuisine, but I was wondering if you've ever taken a shot at jollof rice? Figured it'd make for a good recipe video if so! Thanks for the great content, as always.
@@chalor182 I know this is why among many reasons why I’m subscribed to his channel, these types of cuisine aren’t really well known in Europe, especially in France
I made this tonight and it was "clean plate club" across the board in our house. I had some homemade mayo (via The Food Lab) and was planning to throw some yogurt in like in the video, but it had gone bad. So happy you mentioned alternatives. Heavy cream certainly isn't going to win us any health awards but it made for a delicious dressing.
I'm not sure how important the crunch is for you with iceberg lettuce, but if you store it in a ziploc, the crunch is unbelievable. The outer layers you peel off at 7:20 are limp. In a ziploc you don't get any limp leaves, the whole thing stays crisp. It also seems to preserve it much longer - I've had iceberg lettuce stay crisp and green for over a month in one.
Stole your toppings and dressing recipe but I replaced the iceberg wedge with a charred cabbage wedge. Got the idea from your old article on SeriousEats. Different feel but tasty and a good side for the 4th
My parents made these all the time, they are actually really great and you can be really creative with your toppings and dress them up as much as you want
Me: I love watching professional cooks on UA-cam, they move and work so effortlessly! Kenji : Awkwardly trying to get the blue cheese out of the whisk 🤣
And that's exactly what I love about the Kenji and the POV videos, a normal cooking show will always skip over the slightly awkward parts, but I just learn so much better when nothing is left out
I wonder when Kenji's late night videos will ever come back. I miss the random combinations he would come up with! That mac and cheese quesadilla will always be one of my favorites :(
I too am an iceberg apologist. It's so delicious! And to the health nuts that say you shouldn't eat it because it "mostly water" or "it does have any nutrients" are all plain wrong. True it's not as nutrient dense as leafy green but it is still has plenty of nutrients. Once I realized I my leafy greens always ends up sitting in the fridge and wilting and my iceberg gets eaten, Iceberg ends up to be healthier in the long run.
the first wedge salad and best i everr had was at an unassuming basque cafe in ensenada.across from the hai alai stadium, it was in 1975. it was most unusual thing we'd ever seen. the meat was very fresh sliced beef kidney ,seared. then the funkiest roquefort dressing drizzled down the side. real home cooking. my friend went to bathroom at one point. he came back and dragged us to the wall next to the bathroom. and right there was a small yellowing and curled postcard, signed by ernest hemingway. most memorable meal i ever had. thanks kenji for another great sensory experience.
Should you clean the lettuce before a wedge salad? There’s been more than a few times when peeling off lettuce for burgers I’ve found dirt and a few times bugs pretty far down the head. Or am I getting my lettuce from the wrong place? :)
Hi Kenji, there is a grocery store called Metropolitan Market, a lots of local produce and product. I like it better than Whole food.

would love to see a video of fried rice with mung bean sprout. I just tried to make some but the sprout got soft. I know the answer would be to cook for less time but the package and everything I read online says that it has bacteria and you need to really make sure to cook it so I put it in boiling water for 1 min, then took it out and put in cold water. Then cooked it with onions for fried rice. I wonder what order would be best to maintain its crunch.
