BA, just wanna say, I've been critical of the "takeout vs pro chef" series in the past, since I didn't see the point, but I appreciate the change in format. This new concept is so much better! I like the review of the various takeout spots in the beginning, pointing out what is typical, and what is ideal when it comes to the dish in question. And the rest is completely dedicated to making the best version of it, rather than all the focus on speed. Shoutout to whoever was involved in revamping the series.
That burrito sucked more than the trash you get at chiplote. Meat was too big, flour was wrong size, failed wrapping technique-just like the sad wrapping at chipotle.
@@MrDW72 his wrapping technique was completely correct, he just put way too much filling in the burrito so he couldn't tuck it properly, also he was using a fake mission tortilla which doesn't help, as far as his technique though that was correct; you pull in the sides then pull over the longer side and tuck under tightly
Love Harold! So glad they hired him for this show, he's added much needed flavour and I love how he keeps to his own style and they just let him cuss on video and just bleep them out hahaha
@@joebaer1358 because he likes Harold? I'm honestly wondering. I know about the BA drama, so I'm assuming you're talking about that, but I don't see the connection. Possibly because I'm a bit tipsy, so do forgive me.
@@O2BAmachine I will say two things, 1. if anyone tries to make a burrito with mission “tortillas”, they objectively don’t know what they are doing. 2. It’s disappointing because Rick was such an expert at authentic Mexican cuisine, and BA didn’t pay him, so now they have this clown trying to fill his boots. That is all.
@@jkaznosky Because I don't know why you said he sold out. So again I ask, why say that? What makes him a sellout? I wouldn't say that because I'm not aware of him being a sellout. Please enlighten me.
You just did SUCH a good description, I was just thinking like, gosh, this guy is charming, but not, like smooth talker charming, I couldn't think of the right words, but loveable/real/down to earth is perfect, just intrinsically likeable.
@@HireMichaelEverson I think a lot of people also have a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, so that probably didn't help. Lots of big opinions about cilantro.
Uncle Harold is a G! I'd get down with this burrito, rice or no rice. But come to SoCal, SD specifically. We'll show you how it's done 💪. Mexican food is also very regional. The way we make molé in Baja isn't the same way we make it in Oaxaca. Same goes for burritos.
I knew homie was legit as soon as he busted out the OJ marinade. Shout out to him for giving Lowkey Burritos a shout out too! I would have loved to have seen the asada diced prior to being put in the burrito, but as an East LA resident I would still gladly eat that burrito!
thank you for these types of videos, masters of their cuisine cooking authentic food. i loved the asian dim sum one and i love this mexican one as well
People get offended when I trash NY Mexican food. That Mission tortilla lost me. He was hitting it point by point until the end. That burrito roll was LAZY.
Unfortunately, I can't find anything bigger than 11" tortillas in any grocery store near me. Harold and BA can probably get commercial/restaurant sized ones (13-14") but I think he wanted to do this will all things we can get in a regular grocery store.
I support this chef. This chef is the reason why I am posting at all. If this chef had their own channel, I would likely support them there instead of here.. but it is what it is.
@@poopymcpoop9945 well if you make a trip across the border you definitely don't go for a burrito. A whole range of guisados, lengua/tripa/suadero/cabeza tacos, beautiful seafood....man the list goes on.
I share Harold's pain in not being able to get 'restaurant sized' tortillas at any grocery stores. Grocery store ones are at most 11" - restaurant ones are often 12-14", sometimes even bigger.
@@Jasontheguitarist87 There's no Walmart in my town - closest is about 45 miles away. None of the 5 grocery stores within 20 miles of me have them. There is a tortilleria about 35 miles away - I will try them first. Otherwise I will need to buy a big comal and make them myself.
1. Harold is the man and I love all his videos! 2. Mission tortillas are horrifying and don't need to be used ever 3. Dice the whole Serrano Harold! Don't be scared! 4. Do a California burrito next 5. Pinto is the superior bean
I completely disagree. This guy is disgraceful, sloppy, and has no personality. They clearly hired him to fill a diversity quota because everyone was angry (unrightfully) at BA, so they clearly said "Ok we need to hire more ethnic and size diversity..." and filled two of those qualities with this host. The videos he's in get very few views as well.
I know that the old BA team is going to start leaving and that makes me a little sad, but knowing they are getting good people like him makes me happy.
