$2 Breakfast Sandwich Vs. $450 Breakfast Sandwich 

Exactly. I feel like I can always trust him

It’s breakfast: no way am I deep frying

@@hellfish2309 that's a different thing and calling it not better or equal to the first one is different. I think the only problem with the second one is the cavier which do have a very distinct taste.

💯 agree!! Kudos Josh!!

Agreed. I love his honesty.

YH fish and pork no thanks

Like most of luxury meals you see in the internet: just expensive stuff thrown at a dish, with some edible gold for extra bs

I honestly think it would have been better with something other than the caviar on top, it needed a bitter note of some kind I think to balance out the rest of the flavors we're seeing there.

@@lachlantaylor1225 caviar tastes mostly salty, so it can go with so many things

@@timnewton1073 But if he didn't add the caviar he couldn't clickbait "$450 breakfast sandwich" and would have to admit that his idea for the expensive breakfast sandwich is only like $40. Which is doubly ironic because he specifically said he wasn't just going to just add caviar and call it good. And yes, I know he also used pork secreto which is expensive, but he fried it meaning a pork chop would be just as good in the recipe. Just like how you don't get points for gold leaf in these kind of videos, using an expensive ingredient that doesn't add anything gives you no points.

@123 Tech swordfish eggs

@123 Tech Roe is fish eggs. Caviar is to roe what champagne is to prosecco.

It's fish Eggs

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ go fuck yourself

why do you call fried pork, chicken fried pork? that dont make no sense and i got confused as well cuz i thought he was making a chicken sandwich

What are these cringe hate comments? It's caviar. Put it on anything you're trying to make expensive. It's a salty ingredient ffs.

@@bobbyman2456 why so mad?

@@the_spotted_quacker who mad? u?

@@bobbyman2456 ahaha why are YOU so mad? your comments kinda weird and salty

@@the_spotted_quacker hahahahha typical silver

I mean, he might as well

Rather, could inspire to make an upscale breakfast sandwich. Nothing too crazy but maybe a little somethin' somethin'

I think the whole point of these comparison videos are to show viewers that more money spent doesn't necessarily mean better food.

I mean, the technique used in the video with good but normal ingredients would be much cheaper and an experience 🤔

@@MrJruhl1 Yes, that's my thought exactly. Make the expensive version with mid-grade ingredients. Instead of making a gruyere foam, try a good smoked gouda mornay, or something to that effect. Instead of chicken-fried Iberico jowl, just use some regular thick-cut bacon that's been chicken-fried. Instead of adding caviar-caviar, try some pickled/soaked mustard seed with classic egg seasonings. The soft scramble is a necessity, in my mind.

Wait... There are people who don't like caviar? Heehee ;)

most people probably haven't even tried caviar, me included

Yeah I wish “expensive meal” videos would stop using caviar, it’s an overrated ingredient that mostly exists to inflate the price. I’m sure there are people who like it, but even they use it as a tiny embellishment on most dishes. Self proclaimed expensive dishes often dump a bucketload of caviar and gold leaf and other useless ingredients just to raise the ticket price.

@@ckannan90 I don't get that either. Caviar is insanely good and in small quantities really compliments the dish but it's definitely a bit of an acquired taste, like olives or blue cheese.

It's more accurate to say that most people have never developed the palate to appreciate caviar because they've only tried it once or twice, or never in their life because it's too expensive. Even very rich people aren't going to pay a lot of money for something that tastes bad, so it must be delicious to anyone who's used to it.

Yes! I feel like I learn at least 1 thing from each of his videos. He is kitchen royalty. 🙂

@@SoShantel Every video contain pearls of culinary wisdom....

@@evanking920 So true. 😊

I definitely want to try that cheese foam technique!

what knowledge? that to make something expensive u mash something already good with caviar and truffles and call it "expensive" thats like those phones that call themselves the most expensive phones but are really just an android with a diamond case.

Good eye my dude, I didn't even think about that

Solid tip!

I caught that too. My wife is very particular about her bread staying crispy and not getting soggy, when I do any cooking that requires toasting/frying bread. I usually use a wire rack to achieve the effect, but this would definitely work too.

thank you for this!

It’s Gordon Ramsay’s technique

Favorite series 🙏🏽

I disagree. Setting a pile of money on fire is frustrating to watch.

Hop on over to Mythical Kitchen. They've been doing it for years..

@@Quixan gotta spend money to make money

I do get that side of it the caviar is a little over the top in my opinion

I never would have thought to do that! Great thinking indeed.

More like unnecessarily expensive

problem is that takes away the profit he gets from the videos meaning his staff might get less money and not be able to be paid as well

thats all of his videos

@@boringsoaring7845 he makes thousands of dollars a month alone on these videos, I think he's good for making but expensive every few months. Lol

@@carebear91 it takes a lot of money to fund staff, I get yeah he gets a lot of money but his employees might not get that much money (the probably get a decent amount but most businesses don't pay employees very well)

Ummm yes pls!

Tbh these videos are getting more and more unattractive to me. This channel isn't what it used to be.

Indeed. 🧐

If you have enough money to spend on, and make, this type of breakfast then I don't think this would cost you "half a month's rent"....

Honestly, maybe just a simpler version would be better. Don't fry the pork, pan fry it and wrap it in the best omelette you can, a little cheese on each side, and slap that in between two pieces of good toast, best possible mayo optional.

Id rather eat it separately. the pork on its own, some toast, the soft scrambled eggs and that cheese foam on the side for dipping of smth and maybe topping with caviar every few bites

that's just cap lol. the foam looked weird sure but nah that looked delicious. It's not meant to be healthy.

No way. I may the be odd one out here, but I preferred the $450 one. I've had the other one and variations of it too many times and wouldn't think much of it even though it's tasty. I'd want something different and complex with delicious components like the $450 one.

@@manettetheregenerator3417 Yeah you are the odd one out. 450 one is way too expensive for the product. Its just a sandwich with many expensive ingredients mushed inside of it.

Most wholesome thing I’ve read all week

You're a good egg Abby, don't ever let the internet corrupt you.

literally same

Me in 2024

I think i would actually throw up if i tried to eat that lol, it should be called egg soup instead

I agree. I don’t like liquid looking eggs. That would mess up my stomach

weirdo

The bacon looks alright, too, but it seems like a really bad idea both financially and health-wise to eat both in the same meal.

It's just a matter of preference, it definitely doesn't affect the eggs

Time to ask Adam Ragusea for a video about this.

It really depends on the kind of curds you’re trying to form in the cook: if you’re making omelette scramble like in Josh’s first sandwich it won’t really matter when you salt unless you’re adding a lot; if you’re making that custardy european scramble like in Josh’s second sandwich then you want the salt after so that the proteins don’t wrench out water (notice he doesn’t salt this one until after the cook is done and cooled off with creme fraiche)

Depending on the quality of your eggs, they may turn a bit more pale or even greyish. If you salt the eggs more then 10 minutes before, it also might affect the way the curds form. Adam Ragusea had a video about that. It will still taste delicious though.

@@hiimapop7755 Why I season my fork, not my eggs.

Caviar is one of those pointless things people do....the only reason people eat it is to say they've ate it. For me it just acts as an indicator of your genuine iQ level 😂

A can of Platinum Osetra caviar is about $85 it looks like

Not much. The pork is probably around $400.

His exact preparation? About $70-$80. A more sensible recipe that's the same idea (so not deep frying an expensive cut that's meant to be eaten raw cured or rare/medium rare at the most) and you get it down to about $40. You could get it under $15 if you also just used normal bacon, but I'll let him have that one because it's not clearly dumb like the secreto is. Also a lot less if you make the portion more reasonably sized. He kind of hand waved away the portion size discrepancy, and while it is true that it'd be a lot more at equivalent portion sizes, the expensive sandwich is ~50% bigger than it has any right to be which makes it significantly more. fwiw I'm also not convinced that the sandwich is actually more than $200 even as prepared. The numbers don't add up. Secreto is $40 a lb. The bacon is apparently $25. Grueyere is like $5. I don't have a good intuition for how much caviar 4 ounces of caviar is, but it has to be in that ballpark for it to actually be over $400.

Lol no... Where I live most are $3-4 at any diner which blow the fancy crap out of the water
