Recreating Marcus Samuelsson's Swedish Meatballs From Taste | Bon Appétit - Навчання та стиль
Nooo why did they remove the second tasting?! That’s my favorite part cus he can discover new things he didn’t taste the first time around and see how it compares to his first attempt.
Right???
agreed. i see why they left it out but it’s essential for these
@@spookylilqueer dumb question but did they remove cause the food might go bad? Cause if that’s it then they could just have the stuff ready and get some random chef to cook it again how marcus did it, especially if the problem is he’s busy
@@erazn9077 I always assumed someone (test kitchen staff) made it fresh twice, so I think that it is probably to save someone the labor of doing it again mixed with social distancing and timing issues.
They are probably trying not to waste too much food during pandemic
Incredible but I do really miss Chris riding through Whole Foods on the shopping cart
That’s literally the only reason I clicked on the video
And him blatantly walking past an integral ingredient without giving it a second glance as the camera pointedly zooms in on it
(Fairway)
Can someone explain? sorry if I didn't see everything that happened.. but were ppl mad that Brad and Claire got paid more for their "It's Alive" and "Gourmet Makes" series'. And Chris Morocco does these separate video series'. I don't understand, they spent tons of time on all those videos (by themselves). And are some of the most popular vids.. Surely I'm missing something right?
@@MikeWoot65 earlier this year or late last year (i don't remember) some of the pocs quit or went on strike because they felt they weren't getting fairly compared to the non-pocs. (I'm trying to be as objective as possible 😀). Claire and Molly did the same in solidarity.
Now BA just isn't the same and I don't really like Claire's or Sohla's new videos outside of BA.
They should have done a second tasting of the original recipe cus he couldn’t taste the difference and know what to really change
This, and the lifelines should be free, they shouldn't take off the final score. I think that's fair for one day
@@stropheum I don't have a problem with taking off points for the lifeline but he really should get at least two tastings during the day.
Wah wah
but considering he only had one day to recreate the recipe, a second tasting wouldn't be feasible.
Right that’s what I thought.
The fact that he nailed the chef, the dish and the lingonberry made Chris a winner in my eyes. To say he cooked it in cast iron pan instead of on a cast iron grill when he could not see the grill marks was a real stretch for me.
But he did get it; he knew his first version had too much crust, but with only a pan to use he cooked the second batch less. He didn't expect the fowl of requiring a grill pan he didn't have.
Removing the second tasting was dirty. He was already thinking mixed meats, pickle brine, and something else to sweeten with. So with a second tasting he likely would have gotten those. Also in the Test Kitchen he was able to bounce ideas off people, but doing so here reduces his score.
Brad was right, Chris was set up for failure.
@@ttomkins4867 I agree, I don’t know how he does it but he always amazes me. They are trying to mess with him now.
To be honest, Swedish meatballs are usually fried in a regular cast iron pan. No grill. Bur now it's Marcus Samuelsson so it's fancy...
He should've got lingonberry no problem. Not getting the grill makes sense to me. In no world would I not fry meatballs first, how are you going to deglaze a grill pan?
Happy to see Chris back. I do miss the iconic shopping cart riding as well as Chris glaring at his arch nemesis Red Liechester.
Old comment but it’s Red Leicester - another one of our British cities with an odd spelling
"Maybe you shouldve went red but you know what how were you supposed to know?"
I love the positive reinforcement before Chris can even react
Should've gone. Not should've went.
@@garbygarb31 you do realize I'm quoting his words, right? Hence the quotation marks
I would never have thought to put red onion into a meatball either, I don’t blame him at all.
Bless this duo 😭 I don’t watch BA content anymore but can’t pass this up. Missed this series so much!
Appears you're not the only one. Look at the views, or, more precisely, the lack of them for the new and improved. Brad and Chris are still the main attraction.
@@gagamba9198 Cause everyone else left XD
I dont really like the new people personally . Feels like super forced diversity . Like an over correction. Im watching though because I support BA as a whole not as a few bad eggs .
@@nebraskacovington3615 I agree with you that their selection doesn’t feel genuine but forced. I haven’t really given the new team a fair chance tbh. Just bitterly missing the old group’s dynamic.
@@nebraskacovington3615 Of course it's forced diversity - people forced diversity on them XD What did you expect?
YESSSS THIS SERIES BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY WOOOO
You should check out the "stump sohla" series, it's so great to see her working with someone who doesn't devalue her.
Chris constantly devalued his non-white colleagues and made sure the racial discrimination was kept in place.
SO good
@@noelleirina5628 no he didn't you liar.
@@noelleirina5628 not once did I ever see him do that lol
The one thing you need to know about Swedish cooking is that we'll put heavy cream in pretty much everything
OMG we’re back babyyyyyy. ITS THE MOROCCO
Do you want to date me? Then I have to shatter your dreams: I am in a relationship with two hot women! They are also loyal subscribers of me, YT Megastar AxxL! Please don't cry, dear ateka
\(°0°)/ yeaaah baby
Petition for Chris to be invited to the premiere of the new Top Gun!!!! You deserve it🤪
This simply doesn’t feel the same. I miss the old BA team
"It's called 'High School for Brad' Chris".
The rare BA video I can actually watch these days
Yeah, but I still feel dirty watching it...
@@jtaylo52 tell me exactly what is the problem
@@punk105 their treatment of POC chefs and any non-white cuisine.
@@LadyMephistopheles that's not an answer
@@punk105 you have google on your device right? use it
Chris' Reverse Engineering is a cooking video with just a sprinkle of the sadism of Claire's Gourmet Makes.
Gotta keep him on his toes.
@@bonappetit I JUST HOPE YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU BRING BACK GOURMET MAKES WITH SOMEONE NEW I WILL PROTEST
@@dylanerenfryd5174 🙄
@@bonappetit Did a POC wrote this?, of not then this is wrong
@@dylanerenfryd5174 claires got her own channel now called dessert person if you were looking for her
Give him a chance to REDEEM himself. He had a long break and the format of the show was changed on him. He is a supertaster! and that was a lot of curveballs for 1 episode. I LOVE to see you are continuing this series Chris!
I don't think anybody thinks he did a bad job, that recipe had a LOT of random ingredients that were unexpected if you've never made it before!
@@emk3 His standards for himself are extremely high but yes of course he did well overall. No one is expecting perfection but less curveball per episode would be nice/ fair
Chris with the Nook mask is the collab I didn't know I needed.
EDIT: I have apparently prematurely commented this before Chris's comment about his kids and video games... I still stan you, especially because of your redemption with "alolan malowak".
The only reason why I started watching BA again is for Chris and Brad.
Same. I only watch the videos that they're in and that's it. Did everyone but them leave?
You can't forget Andy
@@Sara-dp5dg yes, I saw that Claire started her own show
@@Sara-dp5dg After the company-wide issues earlier this year, BA's onscreen cast shifted dramatically and a lot of their well known personalities left the company entirely. As far as I can find, Chris and Brad stayed because they need that pay for their families.
@@oracle3366 ok that makes sense
Just when I thought I was out, you had to bring this series back. You know I can’t resist watching Chris do his thing.
Same 🙈
Never thought I’d see the day when Chris wants people making noise and being loud in the back
the montage of Chris sliding over the counter, washing his hands and putting on his fun bear mask is giving me LIFE
It’s a Tom Nook mask :)
Since he's been releasing these with different judges, I still think Brad is the best judge! So sweet, fair and funny. Not to mention that Brad and Chris are the only reason I still watch BA test kitchen sooooo, seems like we need to have more of them together on the channel!
Swede here. What kind of a *monster* cooks meatballs on a grill? Sacrilegious! You do it in a pan and then use the pan to make the brown sauce! (Yes, the actual name for it is brunsås, Swedish for brown sauce)
Maybe the monster who has two restaurants serving this pretty well known Swedish meatball recipe that’s named after him. (Do notice that Chris was able to name the chef for these beauties.) Having made these a few times I’m gonna guess it’s partly so that in a restaurant setting the meatballs hold up well until they’re married to the pan sauce prior to reheating and serving. I don’t put them in sauce prior to freezing them either - the cream sauce doesn’t freeze well.
I honestly (as a swede) think that Chris’ meatballs and sauce looked more accurate. I have never heard of grilling meatballs.
Both Chris and Brad think it's a great idea though. That's what a good chef (Marcus has a lot of accolades) does: take a classic and try to improve/reinvent it.
@@ascillor234 many classics are classics for a reason tho.
@@ascillor234 doesn’t make any sense though. In a skittle you get far more surface area and browning which is what you want. What you also do is then construct your pan sauce (which in Marcus’s was lacking in a few places).
As a Swede I’m pretty dissatisfied with Marcus’s recipe. He also left out allspice which is the main source of flavour in a meatball.
@@carl-oscarkallstrom3850 *shrugs* I'm not a chef. I'm just going by what Brad and Chris are saying. Whenever chefs create fusion/experimental versions of classic dishes, it can either be 'genius' or 'blasphemy' but we can't really judge until we actually try it out and taste it.
@@ascillor234 i mean it’s not rocket science. More surface area = more flavour, and a pan sauce will always have those flavour in them. Missing in crucial spices as well. They’re also not going to criticise their own colleague’s recipe
In his defence, as a Swede...I do not know anyone in Sweden who uses red onion in swedish meatballs and grilling them. Yellow onion and normal frying pan is that what everyone uses...
I love how he called out Marcus for the exact 3 types of meat in the meatball. That shade lol.
Why he didn’t use 3 I’ll never know.
Older meatloaf recipes in the US call for an even mix of ground beef, pork, and veal
And if I bought all that, at minimum I'd have enough meat around for 6 meat loafs.
@@recoil53 my local grocery store sells the mix like that! We buy a pound of ground beef, pork, and veal... they just label it as “meatloaf/meatball mix”
@@THuuDo My local stores don't sell it like that any more, not for over a decade. Used to be pretty common.
I can buy meat mixes in my markets. It makes a difference in meatloaf too.
It's insane to me that he frequently guesses the chef that made the dish as well... love this series!
In chris's defence of the meat-mix, "mixed mince" is something tht's just as available as any separate mince in Sweden, so it's really common here as opposed to in the states it seems like.
Same in Germany. Actually half and half pork/beef is most common; supposedly cos the higher fat content in the minced pork helps the „dry“ beef mince. although I can also find 100% ground beef. But any other 100% is not so easy to find.
Stores used to sell meat loaf mix with three ground meats in a package (not mixed together). They stopped a while ago.
With just ground beef, you have to know the fat content. It's really non-informative to say "ground beef".
In the UK it isn't common to find mixed mince. I think I've seen a pork and beef mix once but can't remember where.
Interestingly though supermarkets here sell beef mince at 5%, 12% and 20% fat (you may even be able to find 15% fat aswell).
Blandfärs ger, förresten vafan var det där för ”brunsås” recept????😩😩😩
Lol Chris’s face when realized he put the wrong onions and he forgot the honey😂😂💀
I would kill to see Chris Morocco on First We Feast with Sean Evans and the ridiculously spicy wings. Chris’ taste buds would be permanently annihilated.
Ahem. Speaking as a swede - it's not the traditional "swedish" version. It's Marcus Samuelsson's personal take on swedish meatballs. Traditionally we only use ground beef, salt and pepper, breadcrumbs soaked in milk, an egg and chopped or minced yellow onions in the meatballs. No honey. And we fry them in butter in a frying pan - no grill. So, Chris actually went above and beyond the challenge. He deserves an A. :-)
Yeah, honey and red onions in meatballs is why we sent Marcus across the Atlantic in the first place.
@@kakakookey We just truly don't want him here
@Liss2271 I'm happy someone as fun and easy going as you could set us straight for joking bout yellow onions in meatballs being so important to swedes that we banish chefs for using red onions.
@Liss2271 May I suggest that you read his excellent book. :-)
But how can you state that we Swedes use grund beef and not "blandfärs"?! I sincerly hope you where drunk writing this, or I might have to report you to the ministry och culinary traditions!
┻┻︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵┻┻
ITS BACK!!
I really miss the second tasting. It's important for him to revisit the dish
“It can only get worse”
*tastes the sauce*
“Definitely made it better”
I'd try and tell a swedish meatball joke,
*But there's norway I'd be able to finnish it.*
Finally interesting content! I’m so bored of the fancy recipes nobody has access to the ingredients for! Morocco out here saving 2020
I mean, it's not his recipe, it's Marcus Samuelssons.. So really it would be Marcus Samuelsson out here saving 2020 (and yes I know I'm two years late lol)
Going to need Chris to surf a shopping cart while online shopping please and thank you.
Chris: Which drawer is the grill in?!
Summer: It’s in the oven...
Chris: ....
Great episode! I missed this series.
Am I the only one who just can’t see BA like before? I see videos pop up in my suggestions and just no interest to click on them. Except now, to leave this comment during the ad lol
So good to finally have one of the original shows back as we know it
Yea but I wish Clair never left because I loved gourmet makes
@@theyakel1 I know, that was my favorite show
is that tom nook??
It sure looks like it
Yesss 🥰
Oho, well spotted! Yes, yes!
YAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!! FINALLY, classic BA is back (do start to think of concepts for your new staff. It’s hard to sing and dance in front of the camera without being given a theme - they will do better if you give them that)
Yeah, the thing that feels like it's been missing is the "fun" element with the new people; I'm happy to learn about their culture or personal cooking philosophies, but the thing that was great about the old cast was how much fun they seemed to be having or that the editors had kind of at their expense.
@@fairygirl626 That's it--the fun! It was the most "buddies having fun in the kitchen" cooking show I've ever watched. The editing was the icing on the cake. This is coming close. If they can start interacting again and getting to know the new folks when safe, it might make it. But they will never have the same chemistry. It is a lesson to learn--it's a shame they couldn't do it in time before folks left. They are real people, and I will continue to watch them wherever they are.
The dynamic between Chris and Brad is my fav
More of this BA. MORE OF THIS!!! So good!
I was about to complain about the music. But... Chris’ personal 80s synth soundtrack for small victories is actually kind of fun 😁
Forget about the meatballs, I’m just happy to see Chris.
I love how he used to be annoyed by the noise, now he misses it. :)
if it wasnt for chris and brad i would of unsubscribe
Unsubscribed, came back for the 2
Yas same! Also Andy
@@shotbyariuka i mean... at least turn your adblock off so you're not complicit in supporting unethical treatment of POC
Even before the scandal happened I only watched for Brad, Claire and Chris. I know Claire's gone but those three were always the real stars imo.
@@MarkTheMimic Claire has her own channel now
Chris' masks are getting more and more ridiculous and I'm here for it.
Do not mock Tom Nook.
He will come for your bells.
I'm only two minutes in and that Tom Nook mask... it is killing me, man ^^
I missed this series. And the recipe sounds so good. And it's so funny hearing Chris muse about pickle brine and lingonberry and you just want to scream because you know it is in the sauce.
Swedish meatballs are the ultimate comfort food 🙏🏼 highly recommend you to try it!
I love how every time Chris does a little celebration we get that retro revival synthesizer music. The little things make it perfect.
I’m going to be honest, I miss the old set up of this one but I was thoroughly entertained! Loved the ending with Brad! The dynamic duo!!
Brad would be the kind of teacher who realized that boost of confidence is more important than an exact grade. On the other hand I would have expected Chris to regect it and demand his exact grade! 😂
So nice to see one of Chris' re-creation segments again!
I miss the old Bob Appetit. We know there were problems that had to be addressed, but I wish you could have just addressed them directly rather than letting it blow up in public and then having to reconstruct the entire channel. It's a real shame.
To recreate the Reverse Engineering with Chris lights up my day. Brad, as always adds much to it too. I do miss the background of the test kitchen. So nice to see Morocco again though.
As a swedish chef I give Marcus recipe a C+.
Chris recipe was better then the original for sure...
CHRIS! Hope you brought your spoons!!
We've missed you and your incredible sniffer and palate!! 😅
wow I didn't realize how much I truly miss Chris videos.
Swedish person here who's been screaming "Noo, noo, no wine! Nooo" for like 15 minutes now
And pickle juice??? Have I missed something 😬
Im not even Swedish and I'm like wtf
Yay! The same music. The same editing. All we needed was the trip to Whole Foods... 😂 But I'm so happy to have this show back, I don't even care!
“Brad Leone
Dark Attic Dweller”
Love it 😂😂
Petition for Chris to be invited to the premiere of the new Top Gun!!!! You deserve it🤪
Clattering his fricken fermentation crocks....😂
So excited to see this episode in my feed!
Brad and Chris are iconic together
Brad dishing out the verdict is so great. He's right there with Chris saying, "you were set up for failure." gotta love it
So excited for these again!
I nearly cried when I saw this notification. Thank you, Chris Morocco for being you.
Omg, i missed you guys, welcome back 💕
typical how Brad says superstar in the intro lmaoo the script always says super taster
Merry Christmas and thank you for this. I needed it.
Loved this. Brad and Chris are so good together, it would have been good to get Andy involved too.
Finally some good old-fashioned content again...
I always liked this channel for the staff interaction and the fun segments, the cooking is definitely secondary. Glad to see some of the classic stuff coming back.
I will always want more of this series.
He brought up the Top Gun sequel!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I wish you all a merry X-mas!
Stay healthy!
Yessssssss!!!! So glad to be seeing this series back
I LOVE this series. Love you Chris Morocco. Look forward to when you are all back in the test kitchen and wreaking splendid havoc..
I love this series!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love this combo. Chris and Brad makes me smile 💚
I am so glad this is back. I love these.
Love the editing. So happy to see the interaction between Chris and Brad at the end. Missed this series so much!!!
YESSSS IT'S BACK!!!
I can't really look at Chris in the same way after hearing about his role in the BA scandal and his infamous 'Sohla problem' that he somehow had it in his head that someone as overqualified, experienced, skilled, entertaining, undervalued, and underpaid as Sohla moving up a little was 'too fast'.
100% agree...actually that’s how I’m feeling about this channel and the whole cast...
Give me a break, Sohla blew up the entire channel because she wanted a promotion in pay before she got promoted to an on-camera talent position with her own show. There's nothing wrong with having her earn her stripes as a test kitchen recipe developer, appropriately paid for that level, before giving her a full show.
If she hadn't thrown a hissy fit and called in the social justice mob to harass them she would have earned the upgrade on her own within a year. Instead she cost a lot of good people their jobs so she could take her newfound fame and move elsewhere. Greedy, short sighted and selfish.
So glad to see another episode of this series. Well done.
Yey. I'm so happy this show is back!
"What's in the sauuuce?!"
I'm deceased
Chris and Brad are a dynamic duo!
Love this series!
I've been waiting so long for another one of these to come out.
Glad to see everyone at BA is safe.
Where's the mashed potatoes???? As a swedish person i am upset
i know right????
Same! That's not a complete meal. Also, such a small amount of lingon?
SAME
meatballs without mashed potatoes is like having an oreo without the filling
I came here to say this.
Chris and Brad's 'dad energy' is incredibly entertaining
Iv been waiting for this for so long
These videos bring me so much joy.
How does Chris "supertaster" mistake a basic cream gravy for something with a cup of wine in it?
Honestly can all of the original BA crew quit BA and start their own UA-cam channels or get together again. Im so sad its never gonna be the same again Yall have no idea 🥺🥺
Carla, Gaby, and Claire all have their own channels now!
SOOO HAPPY THIS SERIES IS BACK!!!!
Oh,I was waiting for this a loooong,loooong time.
FINALLY!!!! The master taster is BACK!!
A Chris Morocco entrance montage is what we all needed 👏🏼
So glad to see this series back!!! Come on we need some of the other originals back also!!!
Love this serie!
