We have a rule here that if you make fully loaded fries to share one person can’t hog all the ones with all the pork belly and stuff

I want to say I really like these casual episodes of just you guys messing around in the kitchen.
This is my favorite form of Babish. Love the format. Fun. Casual. Banter.
This looks amazing! I live in Korea, and some things I love here are kimchi jjigae, kimchi fried rice and dubu kimchi, among other kimchi dishes. The common thread with all of those is cooked kimchi. I would fry the kimchi before throwing it in the cheese. It’s a game changer. I can get fried kimchi at the store here and I put that in Mac and cheese and its’s like it’s from another planet where I know how to make delicious things. Do it Babsy! Fry that kimchi first!!!

kimchi fried rice is soooooo underrated. one of my favorites
So, BWB accidentally created a Korean classic. My mom used to make a thing we called Saturday Morning Special every weekend. Leftover rice, Velveeta and chopped kimchi. Melt Velveeta, add kimchi and rice and combine until everything is hot. It's so comforting. Toss in hot dogs if you want to make it fancy.

I know you had kimchi in the cheese sauce, but presentation-wise, it would have been nice to have some more kimchi sprinkled on top for more color.

This ended up very similar to an Austin restaurant chain called Chi'lantro. Their signature dish is their kimchi fries, which are topped with caramelized kimchi, queso, and Korean BBQ. They're a local favorite, and rightfully so imo.
As a Bradley, I can say I feel extra awesome when you address Brad by name on camera, feels like your talking to me a little too.
I think that pork belly would've been next level if you glazed it with gochujang when reheating in the pan!
My family does this! Except we use bulgogi beef cubes, full on kimchi, kewpie Mayo and sriracha.
Honestly I should get frozen fries more often. The hardest part is getting potatos prepped and it'd be nice to just be able to toss them ready to go into some oil. :D Great fun dish. Easy enough to put together. I might try mine with some costco shredded rotisserie chicken in a gochujang sauce or something!

Frozen can never hold a candle to fresh BUT I find fries to be one of the best frozen food items to eat, so versatile too. Eat them up as is, use them as a side, or mix them (like bab) into something. The seasoned ones especially? Yummmmmm
Local food truck did a kimchi cheese fry thing years ago. Owner took a job with a local company to do work in their kitchen around the start of the lockdowns. I just learned the owner is getting a new truck and I hope the kimchi fries make a come back.

Fun fact. Here in Sweden it’s called a ”bakislåda”, wich translates to a hangover box. wich you can order in a popular hamburger resturant called ”max”. wich contains Fries, a heckton of cheese and bacon and usually some roasted onion
Looks delicious😊
So I usually watch all these extra shows outside of the recipe videos because it's fantastic entertainment, but this look SO SO amazing I am planning this one for dinner asap

Cilantro/coriander soapiness is a due to the turpine linalool. Turpines are classified as volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. This is why cooked coriander doesn't taste soapy, because the linalool decomposes with the heat
there's a local spot that does bulgogi kimchi fries with a fried egg on top, real chefs kiss stuff would like to try these too because I feel like I'm missing out
There's a place in Austin that does Kimchi Fries with Korean bbq on top. They're amazing. The place is called Chi'lantro.
Nice! Bet those taste Super Delicious and Scrumptious! 😋🤤
Does'nt matter if I just ate, every BCU video makes me hungry again.

I went to PF Changs once. The only thing I liked were the kimchi cheese fries that they served as an appetizer. This looks much better than that.

When I started watching BWB (back when it first started), I was in the greatest depression of my life. Fun food vids brought me a safe escape and I felt productive too because I was learning / honing skills in some way. In 5 years your life will be totally different, mine is. Godspeed ✨
I love how American these FRENCH fries with KIMCHI, CHACHU, and GOCHUJANG turned out
I was also a cottage cheese hater but my friend made a buffalo chicken dip with it and it changed my perspective.
I love how proud Babish was about the Kim-Cheese fries joke.
Thanks for leaving it in. We did need to see it. It made me laugh.
2:00 AM stoner munchies must be amazing at the Babish household.
Ima do something like this with potato rounds and ground beef flavored with a kimchi ramen packet. Minnesota would be happy.
There’s a Korean fusion restaurant where I live that does loaded fries with kimchi, bulgogi, and a mayo based sauce that is 🔥🔥🔥

This looks amazing!
Never in my life have I needed something so badly and not known it until this moment.
Mmm, looks great! I wonder if a minimalist meal series would leave you with less left overs? It'd certainly fit with what feels like a "hard times" stretch in the food aisles. Maybe a bit too much of a downbeat subject though, being instructed on how to make the most of money and calories probably ends up feeling like a lecture - even if most people could use a lecture.
I'm watching this while high and I'm freaking out lol
5:50 I like how a joke ended up identifying a fire hazard

I made kimcheese ramen thanks to your ideas, and my mind exploded from the flavor with added runny fried egg and fresh green onions
My wife and I make Mac & Kimcheese all the time.
There's a place in Oakland, Da Sung Sa, that has a variation on these. The name is NSFW, but the fries definitely aren't. Unless your boss hates fries, or something.
Looks & sounds great.
Kimcheese fries is something they serve at my local arcade bar, real tasty.
This is probably the best thing he's made in years.
With kimchi cheese fries the fries have to be firm and crisp to hold up the sauce.
These and 'Botched by Babish' are my favorite episodes.
The kimchi cheese is basically a kimchi queso

Iknow there is a korean burger place in Berlin that already has the name Kim-Cheese fries. But they have actually kimchi, bulgogi meat and cheese on fries.
