Last year, I was on my honeymoon when the Ranch video dropped. Watching it in the hot tub in our room together was a very special memory of our trip. We returned to that room for our 1 year anniversary, and this video dropped the night we arrived. So glad to have these special memories tied to videos we both enjoy so much ❤️
I love how other UA-camrs’ HF campaigns are just “it’s good for you! It’s convenient! Choose what you like!” while Ian’s is dancing boxes and “my dad named me after Hello Fresh and loved it more than me” I fuckin love this channel oh my god

Its like when you have three friends over and say that they are your two best friends. Leave them guessing who the not best friend is. Make them really work for your approval
When I my wife and I were dating, a pretty common inexpensive date night was cooking together. Mr. Food was still on TV, back then (usually as a segment in the local midday news) and I always watched to see what recipe I could steal from him to impress my beloved. He never failed me.
I really miss Mr. Food. I remember his segments being part of the noon news program for almost all of my childhood, and we actually cook a few of his recipes as part of our usual Thanksgiving meal! When he passed, our local news network aired like a whole day of his cooking segments as a tribute.
They have some new guy that they call Mr. Food on my local news. He’s a goddamned imposter and he is sullying the great name of Mr. Food. I used to really enjoy his segment as a kid. He was such a calming presence.
My mom was a devoted follower of Mr. Food. She passed away in November and I went through all her saved recipes, many of which were Mr. Food print-outs.
Ian, if you need future food inspiration, I’d recommend thrifting old church or community cook books. They always hold some amazing monstrosities (especially in the Midwest). Your Ernest Borgnine looked delicious, by the way!
Never once in my entire life have I seen someone actually succeed in trying to wiggle open a bottle of wine with just the cork screw before giving up and realizing they must not be using the tool correctly or before breaking the cork. Honestly I'm impressed.
Oh my poor sweet Ian, the heat of the pan was too low when you initially cooked the lamb. You should've seared at a higher heat it to get some crust and develop some fond on the bottom of the pan but slightly undercooking it, adding in the onions and tomato paste until everything is covered with it then proceeding to add flour to make a roux with the oil and fat in the pan, before deglazing with the red wine and beef broth, then giving it time to develop into a gravy and finally letting the onions and lamb simmer in that for a bit. Serve with mashed potatoes. Most important thing, however, if your meat is boiling, turn up the heat! Fantastic video as always however, Ian!
Gonna say this as a teacher, I work with kindergarten but have numerous books with pictures that it’s rare to find any kindergartener able to actually read purely because seeing the pictures and all the words makes them excited to read. I don’t expect any of them to actually read them, they’re for free time so having fun just staring at the pictures and talking about the pictures is the point. The cookbooks are always the ones the parents ask about the most, but that’s how I started reading. Same reason too, I liked to just look at the food. As I got older I found the same books I used to flip through and actually read them. It’s kinda nice to hear someone my age say they used to grab the cook books in the library to look at food lmao.
With Ian wearing that camera around his neck, the POV shots feel like he's carrying us around in a baby harness as he cooks. And honestly, I am all for that.
I grew up watching Mr Food, he had a segment on the local news. My nana liked to try his recipes. I totally forgot about him until I heard the words "ooh, it's so good." Then came the flood of memories! Never thought a Brutal Moose video would make me cry (besides out of laughter!)
I feel like you could make an entire "cookbook let's play" series where each episode is cooking the next recipe in the book until you've tried them all. Really use up that cookbook. 100% all the achievements the cookbook has to offer. Exhaust its content for the fans. Then photocopy all the recipes you actually enjoyed and would cook again and donate the book back to the thrift shop where you bought it originally. Then buy a new cookbook and let's play that one. Infinite content!
My guess is Upper Midwest. I grew up in MN and same on every noon newscast. Pretty sure his kid does the show now. I think he is out of Chicago, could be wrong
I truly love these videos. As someone who loves to cook and has done it professionally in the past it’s really refreshing to see someone trying new things and enjoying the process of learning new dish’s. I know people can be very opinionated about cooking, especially on the internet, but as long as it’s not literally poison and your having fun, what does it matter? Anyway, just really love your approach to food an cooking and look forward to wherever you take it next.
I'm just so happy to see this mans still achieve success after all these years. You stayed on top by constantly evolving. I don't watch practically any creators from my youth, half of them moved on, lost interest, etc. From those OG Lego Island reviews to Televoid to Brutalfoods. You are like the perfect version of a creator based channel. Variety and on point humor, all wrapped up in your slick and stylish editing, but still a consistency to it all. Keep going Ian, you're some the best of em'
actually fun fact from someone who actually works in wine/spirits: when a recipe calls for "Bourguignon" It's actually asking for wine from the Burgundy region of France. The only black varietal of grape allowed to be grown in the region by law is Pinot Noir, so any time you see a recipe that requires burgundy wine (or here a "dry red") it's actually asking specifically for Pinot Noir.
Also, it's not "wet or dry," more like "sweet or dry." Plus while a domestic Cabernet Sauvignon while it is going to be a little bit dryer is going to have a lot of added sugar. (The American market tends to like very sweet and very alcoholic wines so that's what the vineyards put out.)
Seeing Mr. Food on a show like this is really special to me, because he’s originally from my area! He got started on one of our local news stations for his TV career and was a staple segment on our CBS affiliate when i was growing up. Love to see appreciation for his honestly chill and calming, but enthusiastic look at easy cooking.
Hey Ian! Some tips for the overcooked meat! When browning meat it can be useful to brown them in batches so you don't crowd the pan. Crowding the pan can cause meat to steam instead of brown properly and it can be what actually contributed to the "weird texture" of that lamb.
This and turning up the heat a notch! That way the outside browns faster and leaves the inside a bit underdone, which is ideal if a future step involves cooking the meat further
I mean it's better than what the Boomers did whether it was the Boomers who just made everything into gelatin or the Boomers who were more bougie and followed Julia Child and Jacques Pepin.
I do think it's cool that because of the internet, anyone can have a cooking show. I could potentially have one if I cared enough to do so and had the room to do it. I live in a shoebox so I can't.
The “dryness” of wine is dependent on the sweetness. A lot of wine will actually show you how dry or sweet it is on the back label. Dry wine is generally used for cooking because of the more savory, woody (from the barrel) flavor. Really Sweet wines are called desert wines. Red wine also tends to have a much stronger flavor because the skin is kept in fermentation which is why It tends to be more bitter. Red wine pairs better with red meat like beef or lamb while white wines is paired with chicken or fish. Although I always prefer white wine. Also I really don’t know that much about wine.. I just went to a winery once… and I think wine facts are fun.. makes me feel fancy.
He did pick out of merlot which is a pretty run-of-the-mill dry wine. Pinot noir and Cabernet franc are also good second choices in my experience when cooking
I hail from wine country and the only way that I rare wine is how much it tastes like hand sanitizer. The further it is from alcohol based hand rubs to the better I like it.
wow you really want us to know that you know alot about wine, btw ian knows what a dry wine is, hes just doing a bit cause this is, ya know. a comedy show
It’s so obvious that you just make the content you want to and it comes through in your videos. I’ve been watching for many years now and loved every iteration. Also your ads are top freakin notch
It's so nice to see Chef Mr. BrutalFoods diving in to his family's history by using his family cookbook first written by his great grandpappy, Mr. Foods.
5:18 I find it hilarious that he thought that Mr. food meant to use the rolling pin as normal on the lamb instead of using it like a meat mallet if you didn’t have one 😂
my husband and i watched this side by side on separate monitors and kept pausing and turning to each other in loving outrage throughout. thank you for the marital bonding, we love you and always drop everything to watch your vids together
Ah yes my favorite genre of brutalfoods: watch Ian fail to grasp even the most basic of culinary concepts and teeter between the joy of schadenfreude and the agony of a stress-induced hernia.
I couldn’t stop laughing when he kept saying the lamb leg was tough because it was over cooked when likely with such a tough lean piece of meat it probably was undercooked. But the recipe only said ten minutes. Not enough. And needed more liquid.
@@sclarin2 we’ve all been there so I don’t want to criticize too much. I love teaching people and would love to have a chance to teach him a few things in cooking
@@LB3Scouting I love my boy Brutal Moose but using a corkscrew is pretty much common sense if you just look at the thing. I'm not particularly bright but nobody had to tell me that the little piece that flips up is the part you brace against the bottle to pull the cork out.
Holy cow, I actually have that cookbook sitting on my bookshelf right now. I think I never really used it because I was afraid of messing up. But seeing you put together something edible from it has inspired me to give it a try. Thanks, Ian!
Living in France it was tough watching you pronounce bourguignon and trying to open that wine bottle, but I love your effort for both of them and how genuine and humble you are about it! Can wait to get the Chef Ian cook book one day!
Ruminants all seem alike after a while, but lamb isn’t much like beef, and mutton (hard to get anywhere I’ve lived in the USA) is definitely very different. Mr. Food has been dead about ten years and I think I’m about 100 miles from his grave so I could pay it a visit.
When frying meat, try do it in smaller batches so you get browning, by doing that, you're also building fond in the bottom of the pan which is magic. I think that would've brought this recipe some good flavours!
As much as I enjoyed this video, I think what I'm enjoying even more is seeing everyone in the comments lose their minds over the way Ian did practically every step ahaha
@@ashkitt7719 Hey no judgement, I had a knife in my hand at age 10 and was helping mix cookie batter at age 6. Its pretty much in my blood. There are so many things I suck at that other people take for granted.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 Same for me tbh. I just take it for granted that I can cook but clearly this isn't everyone. And even then I dunno how good my cooking skills are compared to others.
Yeah, its wild to me as someone who has a similar level cooking skill. So many that I've seen are super condescending instead of helpful which seems super different from normal brutalfoods comments. Hopefully it's just the night algorithm people and we get the nice crowd going in the morning.
Mr. Food is a local legend around here from Buffalo, New York. He used to have a segment on local news. As far as I know, he's the only guy in this area to manage to get a regular cooking segment on local news. Was a pretty big deal when he died, they had tribute segments airing and stuff.
OK so my previous comment on this video was correct, he did pass away then. I couldn't confirm if he did when I made my initial off the cuff comment but it appears after looking it up he did indeed leave this mortal coil.
I've been watching this channel for 3 or 4 years now and my favorite part is how each video is both the video and the behind the scenes video at the same time.
ian saying garlic is great and then saying life is like garlic seriously made me happy and gave me hope for the future for a solid minute for some reason.
Watching again and yeah, there wasn't enough rice bc those packets of microwave rice are already cooked/have been hydrated, so there's less in a cup than dry rice. Rule of thumb is rice doubles after cooking (eg. 1 cup to 2 cups).
Not everyone was lucky enough to learn how to cook early in life. Not everyone knows proper knife techniques, or what the difference is between julienne and baton, or indeed how to pronounce bourguignon. But I'm thrilled that you're learning it all now and even more so that we get to go along that ride with you.
I dont know how to cook at all and Brutal seems like a master chef to me! Also I remember Mr Food being on the news here in Syracuse, I thought he was from around here, but it says he was from Florida so he must have just been in syndication -- says he died in 2012 at 81. Long live the King.
@@hollydaugherty2620 I'd still argue it's a privilege to learn said skills from family/friends at a young age. It's a lot harder to learn most things later in your life, because it doesn't come naturally anymore, but requires conscious effort.
@@hollydaugherty2620 yes, having access (and time) to learn the skill of cooking is a privilege. Not everyone have internet or a good public library around them. Some people don't have the time or money.
Some people have taste buds that make bell peppers taste bitter, and it's the worst in the green ones. People who don't taste that look at you like an alien when you tell them fresh bell peppers are sometimes so bitter you can barely eat them
@@CCCW The same is true with Cillantro and Grapefruit. Some people’s genetics make it so cilantro tastes like soap and grapefruit is sour and bitter (like soap again.) Also, some people cannot digest a chemical in asparagus. Some people mildly pass that chemical and some people are overwhelmed by the smell when it passes (in pee or poop or sweat.) Food genetics are weird! Oh, and most people have very mild allergies to lots of food but won’t know it because the reactions are so inconspicuous. (Mildly itchy skin, bloating, change in stool consistency…) Lots of people are mildly allergic to things like broccoli or pork. (Those are quite common.)
Absolutely loving the increase of brutalfoods. Keep doing the arcade videos, too. They're very calming. More VR content would be great too. Also, moving to another state every few months would make some fun and consistent moving videos.
I've been a professional cook for ten years now and it is great to see you try something like this. This is what learning is all about and what cooking is all about. Trying something and learning and even the little moments where you felt proud of yourself. Despite how intense and strict a lot of cooking culture can be there is definitely room (and should be) for people trying things above their skill level. I think the main thing to remember is remain humble because there are always better cooks out there.
Not to be an asshole but you are exactly zero percent a chef. There is no such thing as a self taught chef. Also intuition and feeling are always good but only when you have learned certain proper techniques, ideas and reasons for doing things. I could probably name ten mistakes alone in this video from "intuition and feeling." P.s. please don't call yourself a chef, it's a far to easily thrown around title now a days.
If you ever revisit frozen meals, I would love to see Trader Joe's frozen meals! The Shepherd's Pie in particular seems like it's right up your alley, but the orange chicken is another personal favorite of mine
My mom always watched Mr. Food on tv, and that meant that I watched a lot of Mr. Food on tv. He's just the sweetest man, and he made fun and interesting stuff. She also had his cookbooks, and we'd make things from them sometimes. Glad to see you enjoying Mr. Food too, Ian!
Recipes are recommendations. I've been cooking almost my entire life. I grew up with two parents that cooked regularly My mother had an amazing otherworldly recipe for oatmeal cookies. IN my 20s I retrieved the recipe she had and after two batches I made changes to it. They wound up coming out more to my liking. But that still didnt change the fact that when she made them from that recipe they were to die for. If I have something new I want to make, Ill make it for a month. Tweaking and changing it to my liking. And it makes you very quick and efficient at cooking as well. By the end of the month I will usually have a dish that I absolutely love, I basically cant do better with it, and I can make it in an hour or less.
it was probably to die for because she used her hands, which everyone's hands flavors food to some extent. Or she herself changed the recipe overtime and you are merely cooking with a base recipe she built off of, to which you should too.
"Dry" in the context of wine just means "Not Sweet", commonly Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon for reds and Pinot Grigio for whites. Or just put whatever wine you like in there it should be fine!
I think the suggestion of the rolling pin to flatten the meat was to hit with it in place of a mallet if you don't have one, not to roll it like a dough lol
Ironically he had the perfect rolling pin for that activity and still did it wrong lol. But I think it was meant to be in place of a meat mallet in case you didnt have one
@@minhuang8848 lmao same. It makes so much more sense that way. I mean I know sometimes it just takes forever and he's lazy (which I would be too. Honestly he's way less lazy than me doing anything at all)
I love how Ian has been making cooking videos for the better part of a decade now and he still looks like every new dish he makes is the first time he's ever cooked
I don't think that they meant for you to roll the lamb with the rolling pin, I think, just maybe, they wanted you to slam it with the rolling pin, just in case you didn't have a meat mallet, but that's just what I think, I don't know.
Mr Food was on my local TV stations all the time growing up. He was such a nice guy too. Glad ur making stuff from his books. And fantastic as always Ian!
Yay! Ian's videos are always a treasure! Sure, if I'm being honest, I miss the hilarity of his game reviews (like his Restaurant Tycoon 2 video, or whatever it was called), but his more recent videos are still very entertaining. The chill vibes and the silly edits are very fun. 💜
Since you like being a lazybone, i'd recommend a ricecooker for rice. It's so easy to use and always cooks rice perfectly (using jasmine rice though not sure on other rice variants)
Just a thought/theory I had while watching: The genius of Ian's videos is that he is taking 2 of the most subjective art forms, Cooking & Filmmaking, and limiting both of those to the least amount of budget and production value as possible (and upping either of those in confusing nonsensical ways for added comedy). It keeps it so authentic and endearing yet hilarious to watch. Looking forward to a brutal film some day.
Personally, I would've fried up the entire bag of pearl onions for the bourguingon. I'm not sure exactly why they say not to thaw them, but defrosting the entire bag then refreezing half of it is just asking for trouble...
Vegetables are flash frozen in the factory. It's a process you cannot repeat at home. So the bag is telling you not to thaw the bag unless you plan on using it. If you thaw frozen veggies and then try to refreeze them, the cell walls deteriorate and the veggies will be mushy mess next time you try to use them.
Yup. It was basically saying "don't do exactly what Ian proceeded to do". Which highlights how it could be clarified even better. "Do not refreeze or refrigerate unused portion. Thaw only portion you intend to use immediately."
I didnt know watching someone pull a cork out like that would give me anxiety. The wine key is hinged so it can brace against the bottle and be used like a lever to pull the cork out smoothly. Also if the lamb was tough and gritty, it was probably undercooked. Bourguignon is a stew; the heat and the acid from the wine will tenderize the meat while it cooks low and slow
Love these vids, Ian. Been a subscriber of yours for about a decade or so and your content never ceases to entertain both me and my wife. Hard to find classic youtubers like you that make fun and randomly humorous quality vids like yours that have that, somehow "wholesome, 90's, classic feel good" sense to them. I miss your old PC game reviews, but the editing quality of brutalfoods is just as fun and entertaining. Really hope you would upload more vids more often, man. My wife and I can't get enough of em. 👍
Watching you roll that lamb out like bread dough instead of beating it with the rolling pin is the funniest thing I've seen in months.
I was not prepared to see him attempting to roll out that lamb when he mentioned using a rolling pin
It caught me so off guard lmao, I was genuinely confused and then a little horrified that he thought it meant roll it out with the rolling pin instead of beating it.
I almost wet myself laughing at this 😂😂

Oh my poor sweet Ian, the heat of the pan was too low when you initially cooked the lamb. You should've seared at a higher heat it to get some crust and develop some fond on the bottom of the pan but slightly undercooking it, adding in the onions and tomato paste until everything is covered with it then proceeding to add flour to make a roux with the oil and fat in the pan, before deglazing with the red wine and beef broth, then giving it time to develop into a gravy and finally letting the onions and lamb simmer in that for a bit. Serve with mashed potatoes. Most important thing, however, if your meat is boiling, turn up the heat! Fantastic video as always however, Ian!

I don’t expect any of them to actually read them, they’re for free time so having fun just staring at the pictures and talking about the pictures is the point.
The cookbooks are always the ones the parents ask about the most, but that’s how I started reading. Same reason too, I liked to just look at the food. As I got older I found the same books I used to flip through and actually read them. It’s kinda nice to hear someone my age say they used to grab the cook books in the library to look at food lmao.
With Ian wearing that camera around his neck, the POV shots feel like he's carrying us around in a baby harness as he cooks.
And honestly, I am all for that.

BRO we need a brutalmoose Hello fresh song feat. Yungtown remix colab 😱😎🎶
Youngtown is so handsome
We're just watching this man's path to learning how to cook for himself, and I'm here for it
I grew up watching Mr Food, he had a segment on the local news. My nana liked to try his recipes. I totally forgot about him until I heard the words "ooh, it's so good." Then came the flood of memories! Never thought a Brutal Moose video would make me cry (besides out of laughter!)
Choice of cookbooks aside you'll always be the Kitchen Pimp of my heart, Ian.
I think the cookbook choices help make him the Kitchen Pimp he is
Even at night the bots are here. 😖
he is for all of us.
"The nose is like the ears of the face." ~Brutalmoose 2022. That's a great quote. Very deep stuff.
I want that on a tshirt lol
I feel like you could make an entire "cookbook let's play" series where each episode is cooking the next recipe in the book until you've tried them all. Really use up that cookbook. 100% all the achievements the cookbook has to offer. Exhaust its content for the fans. Then photocopy all the recipes you actually enjoyed and would cook again and donate the book back to the thrift shop where you bought it originally. Then buy a new cookbook and let's play that one. Infinite content!
It'd be interesting to see which recipes Ian actually likes in these cookbooks outside of the videos
I would recommend a recipe box over photocopies. Its a little box of notecards that you write recipes on.
Genuinely would love this. As a kid I was fascinated with cookbooks but mom would never want to cook anything from them.
Its a lets cook
And when the Cookbook Let's Play begins getting stale, the next logical step is Cookbook Speedrun.
They use to air Mr. Food segments on our local news station every weekday afternoon when I was a kid. Core memory definitely unlocked.
Me too. He was one of the first to introduce me to the world of food. Ooooh it's so good.
Used to see him aired on TV near Wausau Wisconsin
My guess is Upper Midwest. I grew up in MN and same on every noon newscast. Pretty sure his kid does the show now. I think he is out of Chicago, could be wrong
Illinois here, kmov4 cbs used to show him, dunno where he's from, originally.
Western Michigan, too. WZZM in Grand Rapids played his segments.
I truly love these videos. As someone who loves to cook and has done it professionally in the past it’s really refreshing to see someone trying new things and enjoying the process of learning new dish’s. I know people can be very opinionated about cooking, especially on the internet, but as long as it’s not literally poison and your having fun, what does it matter? Anyway, just really love your approach to food an cooking and look forward to wherever you take it next.
I'm just so happy to see this mans still achieve success after all these years. You stayed on top by constantly evolving. I don't watch practically any creators from my youth, half of them moved on, lost interest, etc.
From those OG Lego Island reviews to Televoid to Brutalfoods. You are like the perfect version of a creator based channel. Variety and on point humor, all wrapped up in your slick and stylish editing, but still a consistency to it all.
Keep going Ian, you're some the best of em'
actually fun fact from someone who actually works in wine/spirits: when a recipe calls for "Bourguignon" It's actually asking for wine from the Burgundy region of France. The only black varietal of grape allowed to be grown in the region by law is Pinot Noir, so any time you see a recipe that requires burgundy wine (or here a "dry red") it's actually asking specifically for Pinot Noir.
Also, it's not "wet or dry," more like "sweet or dry." Plus while a domestic Cabernet Sauvignon while it is going to be a little bit dryer is going to have a lot of added sugar. (The American market tends to like very sweet and very alcoholic wines so that's what the vineyards put out.)
Then why not just write "Pinot Noir" 🥲 🤣 So difficult
I had no idea! That’s so interesting. I don’t know much about wine. Except that I love to drink it lol
@@ericmathis4309 agreed, there are a lot of other nice dry reds out there. for example, you could eat this with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
@@ericmathis4309 thanks Eric 😊
Seeing Mr. Food on a show like this is really special to me, because he’s originally from my area! He got started on one of our local news stations for his TV career and was a staple segment on our CBS affiliate when i was growing up. Love to see appreciation for his honestly chill and calming, but enthusiastic look at easy cooking.

Hey Ian! Some tips for the overcooked meat! When browning meat it can be useful to brown them in batches so you don't crowd the pan. Crowding the pan can cause meat to steam instead of brown properly and it can be what actually contributed to the "weird texture" of that lamb.
This and turning up the heat a notch!
That way the outside browns faster and leaves the inside a bit underdone, which is ideal if a future step involves cooking the meat further
Ian’s “I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯” approach to cooking is something I really identify with as an elder millennial.
I mean it's better than what the Boomers did whether it was the Boomers who just made everything into gelatin or the Boomers who were more bougie and followed Julia Child and Jacques Pepin.
@@ashkitt7719 heck yeah, glad I missed those days of spam pineapple jello hotdogs

I think you were supposed to hit the meat with the rolling pin, not roll it out like it was lamb dough
no I don't think that's true.
@@oshawott5308 let's just say it is
There where no mistakes
You are correct, but that's less entertaining
@@oshawott5308 but it is. It's meat
I love how clumsy you are in the kitchen yet watching you having a food channel inspired me to make my own cooking show.
I do think it's cool that because of the internet, anyone can have a cooking show. I could potentially have one if I cared enough to do so and had the room to do it. I live in a shoebox so I can't.
The “dryness” of wine is dependent on the sweetness. A lot of wine will actually show you how dry or sweet it is on the back label. Dry wine is generally used for cooking because of the more savory, woody (from the barrel) flavor. Really Sweet wines are called desert wines.
Red wine also tends to have a much stronger flavor because the skin is kept in fermentation which is why It tends to be more bitter. Red wine pairs better with red meat like beef or lamb while white wines is paired with chicken or fish. Although I always prefer white wine.
Also I really don’t know that much about wine.. I just went to a winery once… and I think wine facts are fun.. makes me feel fancy.
congrats, you know a lot about wine
Thank you, sommelier!
He did pick out of merlot which is a pretty run-of-the-mill dry wine. Pinot noir and Cabernet franc are also good second choices in my experience when cooking
I hail from wine country and the only way that I rare wine is how much it tastes like hand sanitizer. The further it is from alcohol based hand rubs to the better I like it.
wow you really want us to know that you know alot about wine, btw ian knows what a dry wine is, hes just doing a bit cause this is, ya know. a comedy show
It’s so obvious that you just make the content you want to and it comes through in your videos. I’ve been watching for many years now and loved every iteration. Also your ads are top freakin notch
It's so nice to see Chef Mr. BrutalFoods diving in to his family's history by using his family cookbook first written by his great grandpappy, Mr. Foods.
5:18 I find it hilarious that he thought that Mr. food meant to use the rolling pin as normal on the lamb instead of using it like a meat mallet if you didn’t have one 😂
my husband and i watched this side by side on separate monitors and kept pausing and turning to each other in loving outrage throughout. thank you for the marital bonding, we love you and always drop everything to watch your vids together
Ian's uncanny ability to make literally anything very entertaining to watch is still going strong after all these years 👏
Ah yes my favorite genre of brutalfoods: watch Ian fail to grasp even the most basic of culinary concepts and teeter between the joy of schadenfreude and the agony of a stress-induced hernia.
I couldn’t stop laughing when he kept saying the lamb leg was tough because it was over cooked when likely with such a tough lean piece of meat it probably was undercooked. But the recipe only said ten minutes. Not enough. And needed more liquid.
@@LB3Scouting good point
watching him try to open that bottle of wine was painful
@@sclarin2 we’ve all been there so I don’t want to criticize too much. I love teaching people and would love to have a chance to teach him a few things in cooking
@@LB3Scouting I love my boy Brutal Moose but using a corkscrew is pretty much common sense if you just look at the thing. I'm not particularly bright but nobody had to tell me that the little piece that flips up is the part you brace against the bottle to pull the cork out.
Holy cow, I actually have that cookbook sitting on my bookshelf right now.
I think I never really used it because I was afraid of messing up. But seeing you put together something edible from it has inspired me to give it a try. Thanks, Ian!
Living in France it was tough watching you pronounce bourguignon and trying to open that wine bottle, but I love your effort for both of them and how genuine and humble you are about it! Can wait to get the Chef Ian cook book one day!
I love the struggle trying to pull it off using bare strength with a 2-step corkscrew...
as a trained Chef, i screamed internally for 18 minutes and 43 seconds
🤓
It's like he's never heard the term "low and slow" in his life, and oh my god. What he did to that poor onion.
I assume you screamed with that "ARRWAH!" sound effect Ian often uses, especially for Gerbert. 😁

Absolutely wild to see Mr Food in a Brutalmoose video. I remember watching him on ABC 7 Chicago growing up
He was on our CBS 8 Knoxville here. Remember watching him from time to time while growing up
Mr Food lied to us.
NBC 13 Indianapolis. Can recall the catchphrase at the drop of a hat.
Same here!
Same here! I was a kid when I first saw him now I'm in my early 40s.
What bothers me most is not the mispronunciation of 'bourguignon' but that he keeps calling the lamb beef.
Ruminants all seem alike after a while, but lamb isn’t much like beef, and mutton (hard to get anywhere I’ve lived in the USA) is definitely very different.
Mr. Food has been dead about ten years and I think I’m about 100 miles from his grave so I could pay it a visit.
nah his pronunciation of booregugeeneyunasutnon is perfect :D
He should have called it "bœuf" but then we'd know he was just doing it for comedic effect
He probably got confused since the recipe also calls for beef broth
To be fair, Beef Bourguignon also exists.
Watching him not know how to use his own wine opener though💀 He did warn us that he doesn't know wine lmao
Feels like one of those things you get as a gift and never use unless you really like wine. Those are fun openers though.
I, don't know how to use a Wine Opener either & I'm never going to learn
@@DavidRokon just was funny to watch him brute force it instead of using the neck for leverage
That part broke me.
The important part is that he's trying and slowly but surely is improving.
@@Sarato I'm honestly just impressed he was even able to do it that way. Those corks are damn hard to get out when under pressure like that😂
When frying meat, try do it in smaller batches so you get browning, by doing that, you're also building fond in the bottom of the pan which is magic. I think that would've brought this recipe some good flavours!
I remember Mr. Food dearly on my local news at noon! Loved him. RIP Mr. Food.
Me too! I live in Virginia, so he would pop up on WCYB. Seemed like a good dude.
@@mrmusickhimself im in missouri, i would see him on KFVS12
Never forget Mr. Food. He was always on WKBW7 in Buffalo
As much as I enjoyed this video, I think what I'm enjoying even more is seeing everyone in the comments lose their minds over the way Ian did practically every step ahaha
The man is not a confident chef lol
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 A lot of people aren't and his cooking skills are like my sewing skills.
@@ashkitt7719 Hey no judgement, I had a knife in my hand at age 10 and was helping mix cookie batter at age 6. Its pretty much in my blood. There are so many things I suck at that other people take for granted.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 Same for me tbh. I just take it for granted that I can cook but clearly this isn't everyone. And even then I dunno how good my cooking skills are compared to others.
Yeah, its wild to me as someone who has a similar level cooking skill. So many that I've seen are super condescending instead of helpful which seems super different from normal brutalfoods comments. Hopefully it's just the night algorithm people and we get the nice crowd going in the morning.
Mr. Food is a local legend around here from Buffalo, New York. He used to have a segment on local news. As far as I know, he's the only guy in this area to manage to get a regular cooking segment on local news. Was a pretty big deal when he died, they had tribute segments airing and stuff.
OK so my previous comment on this video was correct, he did pass away then. I couldn't confirm if he did when I made my initial off the cuff comment but it appears after looking it up he did indeed leave this mortal coil.
mr food was also aired nationwide on morning news.
Ian goes through the utensils in his drawers in the same way people in infomercials do any simple task.
I've been watching this channel for 3 or 4 years now and my favorite part is how each video is both the video and the behind the scenes video at the same time.
14:33 - 14:38 had me in tears, literally crying with laughter. It was just so unexpected and intense 🤣
ian saying garlic is great and then saying life is like garlic seriously made me happy and gave me hope for the future for a solid minute for some reason.
its been 3 hours so far, sorry for your loss of hope
Finally, UA-cam actually puts FRESH HOT Brutalfoods on my home page.
Its really a beautiful sight
It’s been a while
It’s like Christmas
ikr
Watching again and yeah, there wasn't enough rice bc those packets of microwave rice are already cooked/have been hydrated, so there's less in a cup than dry rice. Rule of thumb is rice doubles after cooking (eg. 1 cup to 2 cups).
"Dry" wine just means that it's not sweet. An easy rule of thumb is generally the higher alcohol %, the drier the wine. That goes for white or red.
The absolute flattening of the garlic, then the wine opening really set the tone for the cooking in the video 👌😭
UserName ✔s out lulz
Not everyone was lucky enough to learn how to cook early in life. Not everyone knows proper knife techniques, or what the difference is between julienne and baton, or indeed how to pronounce bourguignon. But I'm thrilled that you're learning it all now and even more so that we get to go along that ride with you.
Careful with them knife techniques, just cut off the tip of my thumb while cooking. Always pay attention when cutting shit in an ungodly tempo.
I dont know how to cook at all and Brutal seems like a master chef to me!
Also I remember Mr Food being on the news here in Syracuse, I thought he was from around here, but it says he was from Florida so he must have just been in syndication -- says he died in 2012 at 81. Long live the King.
Skills are not privileges. You have access to a library and the internet. You can learn to cook if you choose, whenever you like.
@@hollydaugherty2620 I'd still argue it's a privilege to learn said skills from family/friends at a young age. It's a lot harder to learn most things later in your life, because it doesn't come naturally anymore, but requires conscious effort.
@@hollydaugherty2620 yes, having access (and time) to learn the skill of cooking is a privilege. Not everyone have internet or a good public library around them. Some people don't have the time or money.
The scene where Ian admits he doesn't like green bell peppers was the craziest villain reveal of 2022
Some people have taste buds that make bell peppers taste bitter, and it's the worst in the green ones. People who don't taste that look at you like an alien when you tell them fresh bell peppers are sometimes so bitter you can barely eat them
I also dont like green bell peppers (or bell peppers in general). they have a weird after taste to me.
@@CCCW The same is true with Cillantro and Grapefruit.
Some people’s genetics make it so cilantro tastes like soap and grapefruit is sour and bitter (like soap again.)
Also, some people cannot digest a chemical in asparagus. Some people mildly pass that chemical and some people are overwhelmed by the smell when it passes (in pee or poop or sweat.)
Food genetics are weird!
Oh, and most people have very mild allergies to lots of food but won’t know it because the reactions are so inconspicuous. (Mildly itchy skin, bloating, change in stool consistency…) Lots of people are mildly allergic to things like broccoli or pork. (Those are quite common.)
@@oceancryptid this is the correct assessment of bell peppers
@@caitchri2426 Wait! Grapefruit is not bitter AF for everyone?
Absolutely loving the increase of brutalfoods. Keep doing the arcade videos, too. They're very calming. More VR content would be great too.
Also, moving to another state every few months would make some fun and consistent moving videos.
I've been a professional cook for ten years now and it is great to see you try something like this. This is what learning is all about and what cooking is all about. Trying something and learning and even the little moments where you felt proud of yourself. Despite how intense and strict a lot of cooking culture can be there is definitely room (and should be) for people trying things above their skill level. I think the main thing to remember is remain humble because there are always better cooks out there.
You said you don’t have those “cooking instincts”. You do sir. You knew when that lamb was done. Trust the instincts you have them 😊
god ive missed watching brutalfoods, its always awesome to see a new video
Dressing is indeed just stuffing cooked outside of the bird.
And here i was thinking dressing was putting on clothes. Hey-o!!
As a self-taught chef myself I wholeheartedly agree that intuition and feeling should guide you as you cook.
It is really tough trying a recipe cold with no baseline to go on, I did my first Beef Bourguignon I had my mom's to go off of.
Not to be an asshole but you are exactly zero percent a chef. There is no such thing as a self taught chef. Also intuition and feeling are always good but only when you have learned certain proper techniques, ideas and reasons for doing things. I could probably name ten mistakes alone in this video from "intuition and feeling." P.s. please don't call yourself a chef, it's a far to easily thrown around title now a days.
@@SalParadise19 anyone can read a recipe but it takes a baseline knowledge to actually comprehend a recipe.
If you ever revisit frozen meals, I would love to see Trader Joe's frozen meals! The Shepherd's Pie in particular seems like it's right up your alley, but the orange chicken is another personal favorite of mine
@TheFilmTheorists_1 thanks film theory, I can always count on you for clever conversation
My mom always watched Mr. Food on tv, and that meant that I watched a lot of Mr. Food on tv. He's just the sweetest man, and he made fun and interesting stuff. She also had his cookbooks, and we'd make things from them sometimes. Glad to see you enjoying Mr. Food too, Ian!
"I don't have a food scale..."
*looks around quickly*
"I don't have any scales..."
Ian is secretly a Ranch Dressing dealer.
Recipes are recommendations.
I've been cooking almost my entire life.
I grew up with two parents that cooked regularly
My mother had an amazing otherworldly recipe for oatmeal cookies.
IN my 20s I retrieved the recipe she had and after two batches I made changes to it. They wound up coming out more to my liking. But that still didnt change the fact that when she made them from that recipe they were to die for.
If I have something new I want to make, Ill make it for a month. Tweaking and changing it to my liking. And it makes you very quick and efficient at cooking as well. By the end of the month I will usually have a dish that I absolutely love, I basically cant do better with it, and I can make it in an hour or less.
it was probably to die for because she used her hands, which everyone's hands flavors food to some extent. Or she herself changed the recipe overtime and you are merely cooking with a base recipe she built off of, to which you should too.
@@TrolleyMC Good hunch but it was actually the consistency, They came out harder than I liked and I added more butter and worked the dough less.
My favorite part of this video was when Ian said "It's moosin' time" and then he totally moosed all those foods
same!!
Your editing is magical.
always so excited when you post! the cooking will most likely be chaotic and the editing superb, i'll never get enough!
"Dry" in the context of wine just means "Not Sweet", commonly Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon for reds and Pinot Grigio for whites. Or just put whatever wine you like in there it should be fine!
I've gone my entire life wondering what the hell dry wine was, thank you
@@SilkieSqueaks to say a little more, wine has tannins in it which are astringent and make your mouth pucker/feel dry
I also googled it when watching the video
The ABSOLUTE BEST WINE ? The one YOU like !
For the first time ever, I felt trolled by brutalmoose during this part. And he didn't use his bottler opener the right way. 😭
The vintage camera really gives this 90s public access cooking show vibes. I love it.
I think the suggestion of the rolling pin to flatten the meat was to hit with it in place of a mallet if you don't have one, not to roll it like a dough lol
Ironically he had the perfect rolling pin for that activity and still did it wrong lol. But I think it was meant to be in place of a meat mallet in case you didnt have one
lmao I completely glossed over that, I just accepted his interpretation without thinking twice
@@minhuang8848 lmao same. It makes so much more sense that way. I mean I know sometimes it just takes forever and he's lazy (which I would be too. Honestly he's way less lazy than me doing anything at all)
THANK YOU. I thought it might have been a joke. So funny either way.
ngl, I probably would've done the same thing, and that makes me feel really dumb :'D
The amount of editing and comedy poured into this video got me to sub. That and the unbelievable amount of intuitive cooking ability.
I love how Ian has been making cooking videos for the better part of a decade now and he still looks like every new dish he makes is the first time he's ever cooked
I don't think that they meant for you to roll the lamb with the rolling pin, I think, just maybe, they wanted you to slam it with the rolling pin, just in case you didn't have a meat mallet, but that's just what I think, I don't know.
oh you know what that makes sense...
Dangit, now he knows!
Mr Food was on my local TV stations all the time growing up. He was such a nice guy too. Glad ur making stuff from his books. And fantastic as always Ian!
Yay! Ian's videos are always a treasure! Sure, if I'm being honest, I miss the hilarity of his game reviews (like his Restaurant Tycoon 2 video, or whatever it was called), but his more recent videos are still very entertaining. The chill vibes and the silly edits are very fun. 💜
I rewatch his gaming videos all the time! It’s so wonderful to still be able to enjoy all of that content too.
Since you like being a lazybone, i'd recommend a ricecooker for rice. It's so easy to use and always cooks rice perfectly (using jasmine rice though not sure on other rice variants)
He owns a rice cooker. It can be clearly seen in a lot of his videos.
@@oddyquinn oh, im just blind then :P
Btw the rice cooker does great for all rices, just make sure you follow the packet directions b/c some have a different water to rice ratio
Just a thought/theory I had while watching: The genius of Ian's videos is that he is taking 2 of the most subjective art forms, Cooking & Filmmaking, and limiting both of those to the least amount of budget and production value as possible (and upping either of those in confusing nonsensical ways for added comedy). It keeps it so authentic and endearing yet hilarious to watch. Looking forward to a brutal film some day.
I'm gonna save this video to watch during lunch tomorrow. Brutalfoods just hits different while eating
Personally, I would've fried up the entire bag of pearl onions for the bourguingon. I'm not sure exactly why they say not to thaw them, but defrosting the entire bag then refreezing half of it is just asking for trouble...
I'm guessing it means don't thaw them for storage in the fridge rather than don't thaw them for cooking
Vegetables are flash frozen in the factory. It's a process you cannot repeat at home. So the bag is telling you not to thaw the bag unless you plan on using it. If you thaw frozen veggies and then try to refreeze them, the cell walls deteriorate and the veggies will be mushy mess next time you try to use them.
Yup. It was basically saying "don't do exactly what Ian proceeded to do". Which highlights how it could be clarified even better. "Do not refreeze or refrigerate unused portion. Thaw only portion you intend to use immediately."
I didnt know watching someone pull a cork out like that would give me anxiety. The wine key is hinged so it can brace against the bottle and be used like a lever to pull the cork out smoothly. Also if the lamb was tough and gritty, it was probably undercooked. Bourguignon is a stew; the heat and the acid from the wine will tenderize the meat while it cooks low and slow
Australian here: lamb should never be tough
Love these vids, Ian. Been a subscriber of yours for about a decade or so and your content never ceases to entertain both me and my wife. Hard to find classic youtubers like you that make fun and randomly humorous quality vids like yours that have that, somehow "wholesome, 90's, classic feel good" sense to them. I miss your old PC game reviews, but the editing quality of brutalfoods is just as fun and entertaining. Really hope you would upload more vids more often, man. My wife and I can't get enough of em. 👍
Ultimate nostalgia! I watched Mr. Food's segment every morning with my family.
