I've been meaning to say this for a long time (a few months) and I also have to say that it's not because of BTL's, but you are the best thing I've found on KZread and I mean across all genres. And I've been hooked to internet media for 20 years. I love cooking and am a big consumer of online media and never seen videos like yours. Your attitude is so down to earth and forgiving. You are really showing people that you don't have to be perfect when it comes to cooking and even a pro chef doesn't remember everything. Just watching you do basic stuff such as choosing which plate to use and then remembering ''oh yeah I forgot the mustard'' makes me feel so much comfier with my own skills. You've really helped me through the pandemic and given me so much inspiration. I like to recommend your videos to all my friends who are even slightly interested in cooking or starting it. Just watching your vids for inspiration and putting Hania Rani play in the backgound (another great artist I found during the pandemic) makes my time so much better. Hopefully I'll get to visit your restaurant some day. Thank you for what you do and love from Finland!

I'm actually so used to bland tomatoes that the first time I tasted a real one the taste was too strong and overwhelming for me. It's not even like day and night, it's like a wholly different food.

Because of you I always, always, ALWAYS salt my tomatoes, and I usually pepper them, too. Even a crappy store-bought tomato can go from 3/10 to 8/10 with a bit of flaky salt. It really is that important.

@fenixiliusstrife1253

I recently discovered the wonder of salting tomatoes, takes them to a whole new level.

My man Kenji coming in with the redemption for iceberg lettuce! It definitely has some sweetness and a crunch that is hard to beat. For anyone having soggy limp lettuce issues - stick it in a ziplock bag and not just in the open plastic bags you'd put it in at the grocery store. It will go from limp to crispy in a day, and stay crispy and good to eat for a LONG time. I've had a head of iceberg that I slowly use over the course of a full month before you start to see discolouration.

Beautiful. The lack of shredded made me sad for one second, and my laments were cast to cinders with that glorious crunch. Good stuff kenji

My family coined the "super-duper" sandwich for when tomatoes are in season: 1 slice of toasted, white bread drizzled with good olive oil; 1/2" thick slice of tomato; salt, pepper, more olive oil; cap with second slice of toasted, white bread; more olive oil on top. Cut it square! Simple yet magnificent.

When doing BLTs at home, I usually make a baconnaise using oil infused with bacon. It's fairly simple actually: - Take bacon, approx. 150g/5oz. - Put the bacon in a small sauce pan with 2,5 dl/1 cup neutral oil. - Set over a medium heat and let the bacon confit in the oil until crispy. - Remove from the heat and let cool. - Strain the oil and use it when making mayonnaise. A good tip is to also use a bit more dijon in the mayonnaise than usual, since it pairs really well with bacon.

Not sure why you’d be guilty about that!

@@seanmatthewking because it has to be on squishy white bread which has negative nutritional value. Nothing else will do for a juicy tomato sandwich so sometimes you gotta live a little.

i loathe mayo but a BLT without mayo is just too dry, but avocado is the perfect sub for mayo. Adds creaminess with a mild flavor that goes perfectly with the tomato and bacon. i saw someone on twitter replace the mayo with ricotta, which is intriguing. i love (good) ricotta, but i could see it being a little too salty and clashing with the bacon.

Just recently started watching your videos, and you gained a ton of respect when you said it is a scientific fact that triangles taste better. Because it is, 100%.

As a fellow tomato/blt lover, you made a lot of good little points about the intricacies of a good tomato sandwich lol. Tomato mayo contact is a must but I like to put the seasoned side also touching the mayo, I think it makes the bread taste better. I also normally prefer tomato bacon contact over bacon mayo contact but next time I’ll try your way to see what I prefer lol. Cheers man!

I really enjoy BLTs hold the T lol. As a child I bit into a caterpillar as I was eating a tomato and after that any time I bite into tomato now it makes me want to throw up.

I'm nonbinary and this is my first time watching one of your videos. I don't know if you're ever gonna read this but I just wanted to say that hearing the "guys, gals, and nonbinary pals" at the end caught me off guard in the best way possible, thank you for being inclusive and making mine and I'm sure other nonbinary folks' days a bit better

I love that Kenji is a trained chef, and confident enough to admit that he loves American cheese and iceberg lettuce.

Fantastic way for a great BLT, glad I'm not the only one with a busy counter top.

I like the fact that he didnt put cheese on it, not all sandwiches need it.😂

yeah cause it's a BLT, you don't put cheese on a BLT

That impression at 10:12 😂 Kenji I fucking love you man

This looks so good

Now that I'm going back and rewatching a lot of older videos, all I can hear is Kenji saying KEY more than anything 😂
