“not everybody in jail is a criminal” best line.
Indeed
Exactly. Same as: Not everybody out of jail/prison is innocent
Some of us just made a mistake and had to deal with the results. I’m not a bad person, I just did a bad thing.
Crazy to think some people are still in jail for having or smoking weed, but nowadays its legal or a misdemeanor/fine
My aunt is wrongfully incarcerated
This ain’t just prison food this the kinda food I make at 3 am stoned af
*Hits exotic cart*
😎☝️ real talk
LMAO hope the best.
🤣💀
nah u wouldn’t tho lazy bum 😂😂
I love that the chef went into this so open minded about food with cheaper ingredients than he’s used to and no seasonings etc and actually kind of liked it. I also love the wrapping technique 😂
Pro cook here, our diets are energy drinks and leftover fries. I make about 30 Peking ducks a day and a couple hundred dumplings. And while they taste amazing this prison burrito is speaking to me rn 😂
Chefs who are extremely picky and close minded about ingredient quality (that we eat ourselves, not serve) are the ones I choose not to cook with 😅
He was prolly capping cuz my dad and i made a jail house pizza and it was nasty they just be mixing everything together
That technique is very popular!
@@lovelybtches prison burrito be bussing tho
@@kemo7821 couldn't have said it better myself
I work in a kitchen at a prison. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy both teaching & learning from inmates.
Eh man I'll give you three mackerels for an onion
DO you F them in THE ARSE?
I was a corrections officer, and man I remember watching them make burritos or “pizza” cake and all this stuff and I would just sit there and watch them. It was crazy seeing them do that.
Did you try it
@@og_cynthia6563 no, I'm sure he did not. They are not allowed to partake in whatever food the inmates make even if they (the officers) wanted to.
He prolly sent them to lockdown for contraband
Just for cooking. I seen people sent to the 1 man cells for cooking
@@luisperes8634 they do much worse
I miss the og buzzfeed. This use to be my dream job until I saw everyone with character slowly leave the company and make their own channels. They are a dying company and it is so sad to see.
Same here. Was my dream job at one time but look at the crap they do ... jail food on black history month! And this is why they are slowly going down.
It all went downhill when the try guys left
@@Jake0666 yep the try guys, jen, saafiya
@@deecollins9048 bruh
@@deecollins9048 you delusional weirdo
Buzzfeed took the black history month tag off real quick before they got cancelled
Was thinking that too
LMAOOOO
I was lookin at the comments really confused for a sec lmao
@Aaron Moore did you make a UA-cam account just to type ignorance? That’s quite pathetic bud
@Aaron Moore totally agree, they are being defended by common society just because they are ‘defending a minority’ I believe everyone deserves the same rights, but BLM did it the wrong way
They should do another episode with these two where the professional chef teaches the ex con to cook something fancy or something. Get like both perspectives
My dad used to make prison burritos just like this for us when we were young & we loved it 😂
Your lucky frfr
@@user-cy2ju1ux5o ??? Bro what
And now you have high blood pressure
@@dingus1655 what are you 80???
Ngl the prison burrito looks bussin
Now reverse it and try to walk him through making this how a chef would, preparing meat and flavors etc.
Would be a great way to open the former inmate up to finding he has a real passion for cooking. He seems like he could get somewhere if he got serious and educated.
Mario seems like a really cool guy. He's pretty humble and respectful in this vid, always using sir and is willing to learn too. Hope his situation is much better now so he doesn't have to worry about being sent to jail ever again.
The prison food video is apart of the black history month video collection.....come on now buzzfeed lmao i liked the video right up until the very end
It's possible that it's commentary on how many black people are wrongly imprisoned, but that might just be me trying to look on the bright side, lol
They didnt need that. If black people are just as human as white and all others (they are dont get me wrong) then why fixate on it? Just let them be them. We don’t need a whole celebration on it
@@krashsytegaming9222 We celebrate their culture and remember all the influencial people of color (but mostly black people) who have made the world the way it is today. It's a very important celebration.
I was thinking the same thing!!!! Very interesting video and I loved it into the black history piece. Like why Buzzfeed??? What is so historical about a black ex felon teaching a professional chef how to make prison food.
Black history is American history, and there’s absolutely nothing historic about the contents of this video.
I had this exact thought..
I'm sure after this video Mario will be a professional chef
Or back in prison
@@RadicalTurbine bruh touché
Fake white liberal networks and their subconscious racism... 🤦🏾♂️
@@michaelfreeman256 Are you talking about me?
@@RadicalTurbine Dont say that, that is mean and is not kind. What did he do to you that you think he would go back to prison if he has done nothing bad yet?
Dude I just love the respect .
Chelsea me too.
“And then they’re refried and re-dried” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Not everyone in jail is a criminal”. Reminds me of Niko Omilanas speech about running for London mayor .‘Employ more policemen and put them straight into the houses of parliament, as ‘that’s where the real criminals are”
Plot twists:
The pro chef did something bad, and knows he gonna go jail so he gotta know that secrets
Lol
Now he in jail for robbing a produce store
hes in prison for stealing ingredients for prison burrito
@@hannahpetal315 😅 Good one 😏👉🏼
That's not a plot twist, he already said he's from Long Island.
The fact that Mario has so much respect sad he ended up in jail
Sarcasm lol
Well that's what happens when u molest children.
@@artlopez6621 and your mom too
I can attest that this kind of stuff is completely true. Now, during my unfortunate time in jail I wasn’t in a place that offered such niceties as food on the commissary, aside from sugar free candy (known as fart candy bc of its diarrhetic effects) and sugar free fruit punch mix. And any food you tried to keep from your meals of 1200 calories a day were considered contraband. So you had to get real creative when you did try to make things.
Tbh, very rarely was anything ever created that even equaled the some of its parts. But it was different. And often it was more
About the distraction of creating something. Anything to distract you for even a few minutes is completely worthwhile. Now, we did something’s make things that were good. A friend and I won thru gambling like a dozen hard boiled eggs one morning and bc I smuggled the necessary ingredients back in from my trustee job that day, we made deviled eggs that night and shared them with all the people we won them from that night. And people that worked on the farm would always bring in hot peppers that we’d use to make blazing hot hot sauces with. That was actually great bc you’d put it on the jail food and erase any kind of taste it had. The only downside was forgetting you were slicing peppers for an hour with a razor from your shaving razor and then going to the bathroom. You basically had to give up peeing for the rest of the day or you were in for an interesting night.
And btw…I did a total of around 13 months over 3 years, all for what is considered noncriminal offenses. Like he said, driving on a suspended license. I remember getting arrested on my way home from work (I got pulled over in my development about a hundred yards from my house bc my license plate had my old county on it) and waiting waiting for my bail which was 2 grand and finding out the guy I was talking to was in for selling crack and his was $500. Gotta love the legal system.
Now this is an amazing comment
Why don’t you get food in prisons over there in the states? Doesn’t this contradict with human rights ??
The egg thing is wholesome
Gotta love the system. 🤦♂️
U.S. doesn't care about human rights as long as there's a price tag attached.
I really like Mario's perspective about the whole ordeal and how not everyone in prison is a hardened criminal, some just made bad decisions or the lesser of 2 bad choices. My friend Kory for example went to prison for a crime he didn't even commit because the police gave him a deal after his "friend" pinned the blame for a breaking+entering charge on him (dumbnut walked in to find his "friend" stealing and the cops showed up about the same time and found them both)
Aside from being friends with a criminal, he hadn't done anything wrong and served 2 years for taking the deal (he didn't know at the time that "when they offer a deal it usually means they don't have anything on you"-- his words, not mine)
We didn’t get any canned foods in Rikers cause of all the stabbing and slashing that goes on everything is packaged in packets
I'm wondering where there ingredients coming from also whole plastic bags we had to use chip bags
You went to prison?
@@emmathomas340 They're buying it from commissary. The prison system is designed so that large segments of the population can be forced to work at lower than minimum wage. Then they are purposely starved by the prison, so that they just use their own meager earnings to buy food to supplement their nutrition. For example, a prisoner's total allotment of fruits & vegetables for an entire week can consist of 1 orange.
The prison profits from prisoners' cheap labor, government subsidies, and the money the commissary pulls in. Since the prisoners makes so little, and prison goods & services are overpriced, the prisoner's families end up bankrupting themselves trying to send money to their locked up relatives. The prison charges hefty transaction fees for this too.
The prison then takes a small portion of this wealth and hires professional lobbyists to bribe local politicians to overcriminalize, over-police, and under-invest in poor neighborhoods, in order to ensure a steady flow of new prisoners into the system.
For example, prison owners were one of the major lobbying groups fighting the decriminalization of marijuana. This is because people accused of nonviolent drug offenses are the single largest demographic in prison.
Case study:
Louisiana State Prison used to be a slave plantation, now it is a prison where an overwhelmingly black population of prisoners are forced to do hard labor at a salary of as little as 2 cents per hour. The highest salary is less than 50 cents an hour.
The vast majority of these prisoners come from nearby poor neighborhoods with underfunded schools and weak social services. Why is the social safety net so underfunded? Because Louisiana spends it's budget on giving tax breaks and subsidies to large corporations who use its waterways as shipping routes. The same people who operate the prisons, are investors in these corporations. They are also the same people staffing and funding the councils that determine subsidy rates.
This is the American prison-industrial complex.
I thought kevin was gonna be the inmate
Me too bro you're not alone
hahahah
all of you kee saying this and I'm just confused, how is a person with an apron more like an inmate
is it simply a bias?
@@sakesaurus the tattoos
Fr
I'd be hiring Mario after this.
I would watch a cooking show with these two teaching each other things!
It was cool how the chef wasn't judgemental at all throughout the process... See what happens when you let down your guard & see things from a different prospective
While working in a facility I once saw them make Tamales for Easter by smashing Doritos into powder and mixing it with something and it became the paste for it. They're pretty damn creative
Yah they're was a group of dudes at my facility that would press that mixture into soap dishes then wrap it in plastic from spare trash bags individually to walk around and sell for 2 dollars each.
The chef was a great student. That shows passion.
This video was amazing ! Please do more of these. And it would be nice if next video the chef would teach the ex-inmate! Si so heartwarming to see them share and learn from each others experience
wtf why does this have to have the black history month tag
idk
Where?
@@XForever_Loyal i think they got rid of it
@@fedorabread oh, good 😂
I could see why black people offended, especially when this recipe and the chef suspect. I mean @ JCaesar UA-cam page has a very similar recipe he made a year ago….
As a cook who has gone to jail, I have learned a lot about how to make decent food while locked up. So many possibilities and flavor combinations, techniques, ect. Some of the dishes are pretty good too. Spinning peanut butter jars and throwing ramen on the floor to break it up is something you should stop doing when you get out though, lol.
Love it!!! Love how humble they both are ❤
And they both walked away with knowledge 💕
Best crossover ever I bet they both learned something’s and that’s what comes with respect. A safe learning fun environment 🧚🏽♀️
When he said beans, I couldn't stop thinking about that meme "BEEEEEAAAAANNNNZZZZZ WTF"
Never heard someone mispronounce hoisin and sriracha before, well til now lol
With the taste test at the end too, gotta remember that the chef didn't live on cardboard food for potentially months/years before making this burrito which would drastically change the way you perceive how it tastes
I would 100% go to a prison inspired restaurant.
they put this in the black history month collection. cmon now buzzfeed! lmao.
Where?
if the shoe fits....
@@seankenny1275 it doesnt thoe
@@alrightey Statistics would say otherwise ;)
@@seankenny1275 source? pullin stats outta ur ass bruv
The top of the can would make a heck of a prison style weapon.
What has this got anything to do with Black History Month?!? Come on Buzzfeed
Loll
Truth hurts apparently
Where?
trying too hard to be “woke”
@@LakeLyfe315 ???
They could have made a series. Where the 2 explore different prison foods and find ways to make it better, using only the ingredients allowed in jail.
to heck with the chef, this other dude needs a channel. his efficiency is astonishing.
Now watch this show up in some 5 star ⭐️ bougie restaurant.
jail food....on black history month.
FRR like cmon now
Hulk Hogan was on WWE TV on BHM. So I guess we're over this...
So you’re saying that they can’t post anything like this for a whole ass month?? Stop overthinking it, it’s just a video 😭
Nvm I just read someone’s comment saying that they added it to the black history month video collection. If that’s true, then that’s fucked 😭😭
Mmm
My ex taught me how to make prison spread that he learned from his grandpa. I got to say it was not bad at all. Sometimes I crave it.
making a video that has to do with prison part of black history month, it's like they do it ironically
Where?
You sir are sped
after all, black people do have a history in prisons
W O K E
Y’all had a surprisingly creative video with interesting hosts. Honestly, I usually love learning about prison food and crafts, and the ingenuity is very entertaining.
And then y’all had to go and post the PRISON video in BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
Reply if you'd like to know more, could tell you a lot about it.
When I saw the thumbnail my first thought was that the chef was the ex-crim. Just does to show you can’t judge people from first impression.
I saw a meme a while back that had Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg cooking. It said something to the effect of, 'Remember, only one is a convicted felon.' Makes you think.
Ngl the chef look like the inmate lol, I fr thought he was until they said he wasnt
"I'm from Long Island,New York,I say everything wrong" man why did you have to do us like that 😂
You should flip the settings and have Kevin teach a dish he makes to Mario.
Shout-out to this brother for paving a new way for himself, and keeping it a hunnid!! ❤💯
that actually looks pretty good and I bet it is a comfort for inmates to make stuff like that sometimes. The ingredients to us are cheap but since commissary can be limited spending a couple bucks on a burrito might be the equivalent of a lot more in real world so this is probably a luxury dish in the prison!
Pro chef: has a highly prestigious profession
Pro chef: I wanna make convict food
I’ve never been to jail or prison but I have had family that has, I gotta say some of the food that they made after they got out was amazing, still make some from time to time
I wonder how much of a chef he is, that don’t even know what hoisin sauce is
This was awesome seeing humans come together! God bless.
“Have life or doing 30 years “ Then Ol Kevin fuckin giggles 🙃
7:28 “ I still gotta it “ hell yeah brudda mane😂
Lol. A Mario and Kevin “cam” just in case we can’t tell who is who
you call this prison food, i call it midnight delight
Midnight? 😂 I might too, from the leftovers. I made something like this before, I actually asked @ JCaesar to make a wet burrito at his UA-cam n he made one just like this a year ago
I keep thinking about how Mario disregarded the pronunciation corection.
Linguistically we assonate dialects with all kinds of negative stereotypes. When Kevin corrected Mario it was slightly put down (also know as linguistic prescriptivist.) the subtext, dare I say micro aggression, was that he wasn’t as smart because he wasn’t pronouncing all the letters in the word. So Mario “clapped back” by showing Kevin he also has a dialect that chooses not to pronounce certain letters. Mind* you he could have used works like knife, knight, know, ext but he uses the word police. That subtext is huge. In a video that is all about the comparison of “prison” vs “professional” Mario is defending his lived experience.
At the end of the video when he is using Sriracha again. He does not say it how Kevin told him to. I love this. Don’t like anyone teach you how to talk. Don’t let anyone put you down. Let’s just hope we can all he as smart, classy, and quick witted as Mario.
That was bothering me too. You explained it better than I could have
I'm glad the chef was honest instead of just pretending that it was great.
Two chefs with different specialties Yessir💪🏽
I love this, respectful human being, just share what they know and love to each other, without the hate and differences between ways of life...
Yeah. They have a good chemistry tbh.
Bro wtf this gotta do with black history month??
i’m pretty sure it’s because it’s black history month when they posted it not the video itself
@@talanglover983 so with that logic every video they posted this month should have a black history month logo at the end right?
@@ThisGuyz2Legit that’s what I was saying, but people are saying there was a BLM tag on the video or title, I’m not sure. If it was there, they removed it 💀
Yes they just cut out the entire ending lol
@@impulseki9896 .
You can understand by the way Mario talks that he is a nice person, I wish him success in life.
I ended up in rehab a couple years ago self admitted but I met a bunch of cool cats who had came in from a drug treatment program from prison here in Hawaii and they got me familiar to these kinds prison meals. When you locked up or in my case stuck in a program, I feel like you appreciate the struggle meals more. It may sound gross to you but when that’s all you got, it tastes pretty damn good
Like what is he asking without asking - at the end of the day I sat 4 1/2 months a DUI lesson learned - but this is gold
Pro chef extremely respectful, probably tastes like ass. But then again, when you’re in prison, the most basic snacks and food that we take for granted is a luxury behind those walls.
They be ingesting massive amounts sodium and sugar to replace their old drug habits lol
@@moderndayentertainment5812 well, most of them don’t really develop any long term health effects, atleast the people doing 5-10 bids. Most of the stuff is carb dense but technically low calorie cause they be saving up for days to make spreads so most inmates are always under daily calorie intake from either skipping meals or just not eating enough (ramen, boiled eggs, tuna, chips) thats why most of them so swole, so much protein and carbs but almost impossible to gain fat unless your lazy af
Im a fire fighter, and one day i was so hungry at a hitel room, and everything was closed it was me and my partners, i had doritoz and half of fajitas i had bought, so i threw the doritoz in a bag with warm water, made it into maza, made myself a tamal 😂😂😂. Prison food can save you 😂😂
😂 were you in fire camp?
YES! More prison food videos. These are the best.
no they didn't include black history month at the end...chileeee. who thought that was a good idea?!
Where?
@@XForever_Loyal I don't see it, so I guess they came to their senses and removed it.
There is no plastic bags, no can openers in prison lmaooooo
1st time watching Buzfeed seems interesting
You are mistaken my friend
@@daxbrown3422 why ??
@@devanshsaini2776 every video you’ve ever seen has been a buzzfeed video
Don’t let him scare u. It’s a variety channel there r hits and misses I personally don’t mind Buzzfeed and u can stalk the channel and watch watever u want! :)
@@daxbrown3422 then why are you here?
6:50 Kevin got hungry and more comfortable lmao
He couldn't stop eating it! 😹🤩😍
No one a pro chef when Gordon Ramsey in the same room with them
I thought that was Wayne Brady in the thumbnail
I like how the last step was to bless the food.
I hope COVID-19 ends as soon as possible and everyone is happy and healthy. 😁😆🙏
Civilians can't understand how good that burrito is until they ate only jail provided food for a month. Then they can truly appreciate that masterpiece lol.
Now how does this relate to black history month? Buzz feed messed up real bad
speaking of history, black people in america were a slave race, they were treated bad and most of them were anded up in prison, also black people is the one who invented bbq through their unique and creative way on cooking some animal rib, back then rib was not considered as a luxury food because they were lack on meat and have mostly bone in them so they gave those rib to their slave and their slave make bbq with it. and what i see from this video is an equivalent to that history
I don't believe a single person that saw a guy wearing very chef like clothing and a dude in street cloths thought the guy on the left was a felon.
1st vid I watched in a while even though I’m subscribed 😂
please, please, please teach mario how to make an extremely fancy burrito. that would be so nice. also i agree with all former ppl who wrote they'd hire him. i would too
When you realize how poor you were growing up based on little things prisoners do similar when making food.(using can lid as a knife to cut up chicken)
Bro i like how Kevin is not afraid to learn or question Mario's food, just bliss and ignorance
Does anyone else not see the Black History Month tag at the end? Did they delete it😐
@Alyson H yeah same:/
The end of the video does look awkwardly cut/finish
They probably deleted it I'm glad that they did it was disrespectful to the black community.
Some other people mentioned it. This whole video suspect. The “chef” doesn’t know what Hoison sauce is and there’s a recipe very similar to this 1 @ JCaesar UA-cam page
Imagine opening a restaurant that does prison hack food
looks fire i used to make this in the county jail, in prison we much more advanced but wet burritos in a cup always 🔥🔥
As a professional chef for 16 years, im astounded with how this chef took the time to seek in order to learn how to create. Doesnt matter what type of cooking, one should always seek out the methods and ingredients. This is how you become better, more refined.
These prisoners are eating better than me😂😂😂
That’s sad, but good to see you’re good enough to find humor in it 😂
Jail house burritos were alil light at the end of some dark moments
😂 💩
Honestly I want this, looks pretty good.
If the bald dude had the apron on I would have thought that the other guy was the inmate
I appreciate the respect that the prochef has for Mario
Nah this was brotherly and speaking as a reformed inmate chef did pretty damn good...greqt teaching and way to have an open mind chef....ps this not an everyday meal even when you in that jam...too much sodium but for a snack every now and again (chef's kiss)
Before i watch let me guess which is the ex inmate
When he said “I’m from Long Island, NY, I say everything wrong” I felt that, I’m Suffolk county lmfao
Superb
Verified person with no replies
Two respectful men from different walks of life.
I felt sad knowing before clicking that the black guy would be the ex-felon.
The feeling that that'll be the case is terrible and indeed it was.
Ok
you have a good working heuristic my man, don't regret being efficient in your cognition. The moral implications are a footnote in the method!
I can’t help but think they planned that out for black history month and used a recipe very similar to UA-cam page @ JCaesar
