Late night chorizo grilled cheese 

To answer a few frequently-asked questions: - I’m using Spanish dry-cured chorizo. It is meant to be eaten raw, like salami. Do not do this with Mexican chorizo or any other chorizo that must be fully cooked before consuming. - the herb is cilantro. - the cheese is tillamook sharp cheddar. - the bread is a sourdough batard from Backhaus in San Mateo, CA (disclosure: I am a board member/silent partner there. I don’t have anything to do with day to day operations.) - the flat surface is a Baking Steel Griddle, mini size. - I hold the sandwich down with a mortaring trowel from Home Depot. - the two hot sauces are Inner Beauty (a mango and mustard-bases Caribbean style hot sauce invented and scribbled on the back of a napkin by Chris Schlesinger at the old East Coast Grill in Cambridge, now owned by a company called Todd’s, and Secret Aardvark, a mustard and habanero-based hot sauce from Portland. Both are great for grilled cheese.) - this was shot with a GoPro 4 with a head mount. It’s an older camera hence poor stabilization. I use better cameras now. - I was definitely a little bit buzzed, this was made after what used to be my weekly karaoke night at the Swinging Door in San Mateo.

Almost forgot to watch this today

This man was silently making this masterpiece at 2am with a camera taped to his forehead

This guy recorded himself making a sandwich with a go pro attached to his head then ate it. Legend

“Dad, why is my sister named Rose?” “Because your mother loves roses.” “Thanks dad.” “No problem, Late night chorizo grilled cheese.”

I kept waiting for him to start throwing eggs around while grunting incoherently when I realized I was on the wrong channel.

I love how he stops to take a sip just for character development.

I've watched this video more times than I care to admit

Whenever this pops up in the recommendation you just have to watch it, no matter how many times you've seen it.

No stupid music or annoying commentary. Well done,thank you

Plot twist: It's not his house

Teacher: no food or drink in class The back of the class:

I almost forgot my yearly watch of "Late Night Chorizo Grilled Cheese"

I really like the part when he made a grilled cheese with chorizo late at night

This shit makes me laugh so hard. Cooking youtubers are out here selling their branded burger presses and products yet Kenji's rocking a fucking cement trowel. Just the best!

I make this all the time since seeing it ages ago and I've started adding some red pesto to the inside and it's so nice

Why is there dislikes this is literally what was promised late night chorizo sandwich

Something tells me he's one of those guys that's productive as hell when hes drunk.

This whole video just feels so strangely comfortable, almost akin to that one cooking scene in howls moving castle. Just kind of nothing else in mind, just moving on with everything, just staying constantly in the now, and feeling what that exact moment presents to you.

This comes around in my recommended every now and again and I always click it. I’m not sure how he did it but this REALLY feels like a “late night” snack video 🤣 it’s got the exact atmosphere and food for it

There is no way he gonna just make chorizo grilled cheese late at night edit: holy shit

every time i come back to this video my life seems to be so much more different than the last time i was here

Why is there 3.6k dislikes he literally made a chorizo grilled cheese late at night it's what you were expecting 😂

It’s tradition to come back to this video once a year and marvel at this masterpiece.

So this is the legend that Babish keeps raving about. I understand now.

Waiter: How would you like your chorizo sir? *late* *night*

This is one of the most genuine food prep videos I have ever seen. The fact he got the beer. The way he tasted the cheese. How he looked for the perfect knife. The hot sandwich. The way he savors the toasted buttery bread. And last but not least, the bite with the crunch.

Love coming back to this every couple months

This is the most replayable video I have ever replayed

this is so oddly comforting. it's like your dad is teaching you to cook a sandwich when you're both tired at night. makes me miss a life i never had lmao

if this is his alt, imagine his main

I know the roof of his mouth is cut up from how crunchy that was

I begin to question this world because this man shredded chorizo

This is my first time here, but judging by the comments I’ll probably be back some day. Till then see ya!

Its has become a tradition to watch this once in a year.

Eating right off the cutting board is the only way to late night snack. Good stuff!

Chorizo through the box grater. You beautiful genius.

This hits different after watching gordon ramsey making a grilled cheese while both charring his bread and not melting any of the cheese

bro got more sauces in his fridge than i can find in the supermarket

I too put on a GoPro when I want a late night snack

That silverware drawer is more organized than my life

I love how he uses the cutting board as a cutting board, counter space, and plate

It's tradition for me to occasionally come back here whenever this is in my recommended.

Binging with babish sent me here after he *Continuously* praised your cooking skills.

RU-vid just recommended this and it’s 2am, I couldn’t be more inspired

It’s the simple things like this that keep me going

6 years later and this is still the best chorizo grilled cheese I've seen

Some inexperienced cooks might think the reason he's opening that beer is he's starting to drink. That's a huge misconception, as this recipe only works when you're already wasted, preferably one beer from collapsing to the ground.

Every so often, when I find myself in a state of anxiety and I feel like I need a break, I come to my place of peace and calm.

This man just made Minecraft eating noises in real life. Legend

Please Kenji don't deny that you were totally high while filming this late night videos Love your content and your cooking wisdom, regards.

No matter how many times this comes on my recommendations I’ll watch it again

Everyone is talking about the grilled cheese, I’m wondering where he got that bread

This is one of my favorite videos on the site. Unintentional ASMR, food preparation tutorial, cozy atmosphere, it has it all 😌

Evry 2 years or so i get recommended this love it

HOLY MOLY when he took that bite BOY I FELT LIKE THAT WAS IN MY HOUSE wtf

The browning on that first flip made me feel things.

The crunch of the that sandwich was immense

I've been rewatching this video over the years. The older i get, the more hungry this makes me...

*Some guy making a late night Chorizo Grilled cheese* 6.3 million people: interesting

The dogs were like: "Can you help a homie out?"

Before I go to bed I walk my dog, shower, brush my teeth pray and then I watch this video every night for the past 3 years

Watching stuff like this is great because it’s entertaining, satisfying and teaches you how to cook!

who tf grates chorizo and why have i never done it

I bought this as my first propane grill. It's been a fun, learning experience ru-vid.comUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I think it's a bit too pricey after looking at other grills, but it wasn't hard to put together and it works really well. I love the side burner option for heating food during a power outage. I have an electric stove and live in the South (Hurricane season), so this was a bonus. I also bought a cover for it and it has protected it nicely (the Char Broil All-Season Grill Cover 3-4 Burner: Large). Every few grill sessions, I take the rack (or grate) and burner covers off and clean them with a non-abrasive scrubby and mild soap. I wipe the excess off of the bottom as well, taking care to avoid the gas and pilot lines.

*No matter what happens I come back to this video and it gets better and better*

No lies that actually looks really good

Like once a year, every year, for the past 4 years this has popped up in my recommended. And EVERY single time, I watch it.

YT gods just served me this, what is apparently a rite of passage. I've imbibed many Kenji videos over the last several months but had not yet reached this hallmark. I feel honored.

So nobody is going to talk about his elaborate knife collection ;)

I’ve watched this at least five times now. It’s so quick and short and satisfying to watch. I need to actually try this myself one day!

Watching this on my laptop today for the first time instead of my phone. Quality content deserves proper viewing.

I actually took the time to make this sandwich and it's amazing. 10/10

You taught me how to make a proper grilled cheese in a pan, by weighing it down a bit. It’s changed my grilled cheese life! The crust is divine!

I love how real this is, like, even to the dogs coming in to see what’s up and getting a little treat. This somehow made me really relaxed, thank you kind sir

No matter how much my life moves forward, I always find my way back here when I least expect it.

Every single sound in this video is absolute heaven. The slicing of the bread, cracking the beer, you biting into that delicious sandwich. God I love this video

Grates cheese for sandwich: brain Grates chorizo for sandwich: brain with lasers shooting out

RU-vid: "so we heard you're gonna be stuck in the house for a while..."

This. This is the video that sparked my love/obsession with grilled cheese

I wish I can wake up during late nights so I can grab fresh bread out of a paper bag

I don’t know who’s higher. The guy filming himself making a late night grilled cheese or me watching a video of a guy making a late night grilled cheese?

0:25 i know what're you doing with that tiny piece of cheese

i come back to this banger every once and a while

Coming back here once in a while is so fun cause it’s wholesome

Sort of silly, but grating the chorizo blew my mind. Never would have thought of doing that for a melt.

grated chroizo? how is this channel not blowing up?

I love how I get this at the most random and best times throughout the years. Always a delicious looking late-night drunky/high snack 😋

My favorite part about these late night videos - I assume on purpose is just the lack of talking/direction. Like how you would literally do this late at night to not disturb anybody. Fucking brilliant lol

When you high af but you watching Gordon Ramsey videos on yt

Yo, that is the sexiest knife drawer I’ve EVER seen.

First day of the new year and I'm glad this video has been recommended to me again

Thank you for blessing me with this masterpiece and making me hungry even though I just ate.

I can imagine someone breaking in late at night and they just see kenji with a go pro on his head making grilled cheese sandwiches

1:13 you can actually hear how satisfied he is with that crust

Bread was beautiful, shredding the frozen chorizo will forever be my new favorite tech for sandwiches.

I just wanna be this dudes drunk buddy who’s like “dude I’m sorry I’m too drunk to drive home tonight, mind if I chill?” haha

I love how for the past 4 years this video has always managed to resurface in my recommended and I watch it every time in it’s entirety 👏🏽

Once in a 3-6 month, RU-vid will recommend me this video again I think i already watch it 6 times A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

One of those videos that randomly pops up every fews months and you watch everytime.
