1
00:00:01,367 --> 00:00:02,567
Hey, I'm Guy Fieri,
and you know what I need?
2
00:00:02,567 --> 00:00:03,767
I need you riding shotgun.
3
00:00:03,767 --> 00:00:05,467
I'm on my way to flavor town.
4
00:00:05,467 --> 00:00:09,166
This is Diners,
Drive-Ins, and Dives.
5
00:00:09,166 --> 00:00:10,266
This trip...
6
00:00:10,266 --> 00:00:12,300
Wow. Oh, my gosh.
7
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:14,767
...we're going from
Midwest to Northeast.
8
00:00:14,767 --> 00:00:16,567
Get a little
geography lesson, folks.
9
00:00:16,567 --> 00:00:19,567
Hitting up joints,
crushing all kinds of flavor.
10
00:00:19,567 --> 00:00:21,800
Holy cheese, Batman.
11
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,100
There's Malaysia Mania
in Cincinnati.
12
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:25,166
It's a passport.
13
00:00:26,166 --> 00:00:28,967
Legit Salvadorian
in Port Chester, New York.
14
00:00:28,967 --> 00:00:30,567
That's bananas.
15
00:00:30,567 --> 00:00:33,700
Plus, an Omaha family
doing things Detroit style.
16
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,500
It is crust vacation, bro.
17
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:37,700
-And taking the bus...
-Adios.
18
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:39,100
...to pizza town.
19
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:40,367
This is a top-notch pie.
20
00:00:40,367 --> 00:00:41,900
It's the real deal.
21
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:43,800
That's all right here,
right now,
22
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,333
on Diners, Drive-Ins,
and Dives.
23
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,200
So I'm here
in Omaha, Nebraska,
24
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,667
right off 108th Street
off of the I-80
25
00:01:02,667 --> 00:01:04,066
to check out Food Truck Corral
26
00:01:04,066 --> 00:01:05,500
that was an old
burger franchise.
27
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:07,767
But there's this
one particular truck here.
28
00:01:07,767 --> 00:01:09,166
See, it's a family,
a husband and wife team
29
00:01:09,166 --> 00:01:11,066
came out of Las Vegas
during COVID,
30
00:01:11,066 --> 00:01:12,767
wanted to bring their daughter
back to Omaha
31
00:01:12,767 --> 00:01:13,800
to be closer to family.
32
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,066
But they needed a job,
33
00:01:15,066 --> 00:01:16,667
so they studied up
the world of pizza.
34
00:01:16,667 --> 00:01:18,467
They bought themselves
an old school bus,
35
00:01:18,467 --> 00:01:19,467
and the rest is history.
36
00:01:19,467 --> 00:01:21,233
This is Izzy's Pizza Bus.
37
00:01:23,867 --> 00:01:25,467
Cherish, how's that
Izzy special coming?
38
00:01:25,467 --> 00:01:28,300
Everyone in Omaha
is chasing that bus around.
39
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:29,367
The oven's in the bus.
40
00:01:29,367 --> 00:01:31,266
This is such
a cool experience.
41
00:01:31,266 --> 00:01:33,066
Hey, guys.
Here's your Red Harvest.
42
00:01:33,066 --> 00:01:35,166
Pumps out some of the
best pizza you've ever had.
43
00:01:35,166 --> 00:01:38,000
[Guy] Detroit-style pizza,
to be exact,
in Omaha,
44
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,367
brought from Vegas by
Brett and Cherish Geiger.
45
00:01:41,367 --> 00:01:42,967
All right,
so you guys are in Vegas.
46
00:01:42,967 --> 00:01:43,867
How did you get here?
47
00:01:43,867 --> 00:01:46,600
We wanted to get Izzy here
to be with family.
48
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,767
-How old are you, Izz?
-I'm 11 years old.
49
00:01:48,767 --> 00:01:49,767
So where'd you learn
to make pizzas?
50
00:01:49,767 --> 00:01:51,667
Just at home,
kind of obsessed with it.
51
00:01:51,667 --> 00:01:54,100
We do a Detroit-style pizza,
pan-proof dough,
52
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:56,367
try to get it in nice and
fluffy and airy in that pan.
53
00:01:56,367 --> 00:02:00,300
It's like a
thicker-style pizza,
crunchy on the bottom.
54
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:02,066
I am obsessed. [laughs]
55
00:02:02,066 --> 00:02:03,066
[Guy] Get us into it.
56
00:02:03,066 --> 00:02:05,700
Cold water for this
more hydrated dough.
57
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:07,500
Patent flour,
which is like a bread flour.
58
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:09,567
The other flour
is a white wheat flour.
59
00:02:09,567 --> 00:02:11,000
This is my thing
where you kind of
60
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,767
came up with over some time
and a lot of dough testing
61
00:02:12,767 --> 00:02:14,700
and getting all pizza-nerdy
and all that.
62
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:16,100
-Pizza-nerdy.
-Yeah.
63
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:18,166
-[Brett] Bloomed, activated
yeast right here.
-Got it.
64
00:02:18,166 --> 00:02:19,500
Sea salt.
65
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:21,667
Turn it on low, kind of start
to mix everything up.
66
00:02:21,667 --> 00:02:23,500
Mix for 12 to 15 minutes.
67
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:25,600
-[Guy] And then
hit the olive oil.
-Yep.
68
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,767
[Brett] We'll give it usually
a few hours in the bus bin.
69
00:02:27,767 --> 00:02:29,266
Give it a couple
stretch and folds.
70
00:02:29,266 --> 00:02:32,000
Throw it in the walk-in
for 24 to 48 hours.
71
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,367
[Guy] What pizza
are we going to make?
72
00:02:33,367 --> 00:02:34,567
The honeypeno pizza.
73
00:02:34,567 --> 00:02:36,100
Have your honeypeno here.
74
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:39,567
It's like a perfect
combination of nice,
tasty pepperoni
75
00:02:39,567 --> 00:02:42,233
along with some heat and some
crunch of the jalapeno.
76
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,967
Look at the bubbles
on that, huh?
77
00:02:44,967 --> 00:02:47,100
[Brett] Canola and olive oil.
Cut it out of here.
78
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:48,200
Get it a little bit oily
79
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,867
so it doesn't dry out.
Put a lid on it.
80
00:02:49,867 --> 00:02:52,100
[Guy]
And it should fill the pan
by the time it warms up.
81
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:54,300
-What are we going
to make next?
-Some pickled jalapenos.
82
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:58,066
White vinegar, water,
minced garlic, sea salt,
83
00:02:58,066 --> 00:02:59,467
and a little bit of agave.
84
00:02:59,467 --> 00:03:01,000
[Guy] Agave, great.
85
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,700
Set that up for a boil.
86
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:04,266
Brine is ready.
We're going to pour it over
87
00:03:04,266 --> 00:03:06,700
our jalapenos and let it
rest overnight in the fridge.
88
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:08,100
-Last step. Okay.
-Pizza sauce.
89
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,000
Ground tomatoes, sea salt,
some minced garlic.
90
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,266
That's all she wrote, huh?
91
00:03:12,266 --> 00:03:14,367
Izzy made this sauce
at eight years old.
92
00:03:14,367 --> 00:03:16,100
Now we're just
going to top the pizza.
93
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:17,867
-So we're going to--
-Do you always top
on the scale?
94
00:03:17,867 --> 00:03:19,567
Yeah, we like
to weigh our cheese,
95
00:03:19,567 --> 00:03:20,767
try to get the most
consistent product.
96
00:03:20,767 --> 00:03:23,367
So we're going
to put 235 grams
97
00:03:23,367 --> 00:03:26,100
mozzarella and brick cheese.
98
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:28,100
Holy cheese, Batman.
99
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:29,300
And you're fresh grating this?
100
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:31,066
Yes, we're shredding that
in-house.
101
00:03:31,066 --> 00:03:32,066
Like I said,
we blend the two--
102
00:03:32,066 --> 00:03:33,000
All the difference
in the world.
103
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,767
That is fresh.
You can taste it. Excellent.
104
00:03:35,767 --> 00:03:37,467
[Brett] Sprinkle it with
a little bit of oregano,
105
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:39,500
house pickled jalapenos,
106
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:42,100
and then we're going to add
some cup and char pepperonis.
107
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:44,367
Get that nice,
cup-y-grease goodness.
108
00:03:44,367 --> 00:03:46,500
-Is that how they market it,
cup and char?
-[Brett] Yes.
109
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:47,667
I didn't know
that was the name.
110
00:03:47,667 --> 00:03:49,266
That's a well-adorned pizza.
111
00:03:49,266 --> 00:03:51,533
Stick it in the oven.
About 12 minutes.
112
00:03:52,767 --> 00:03:55,567
-Honeypeno.
-[Guy whistles]
113
00:03:55,567 --> 00:03:57,367
[Guy] That's some crispy edge
on that, huh?
114
00:03:57,367 --> 00:03:59,700
[Brett] And then we
cut these into four.
Everyone gets a corner.
115
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:01,166
Listen to that crust.
116
00:04:01,967 --> 00:04:04,100
That is a lot of pizza
and a lot of cheese.
117
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:05,467
Got more goodies
to go on there.
118
00:04:05,467 --> 00:04:07,100
You put more stuff on it?
119
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:08,433
[Brett]
We got to get that red sauce
we made on there.
120
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:10,767
Parmigiano Reggiano.
121
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,300
-Final, hot honey.
-[Guy] Wow.
122
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:15,300
Now, if they want it to go,
123
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:17,467
you have these
really cool boxes.
124
00:04:17,467 --> 00:04:19,166
[Brett]
So you rip this out,
it becomes a bib.
125
00:04:19,166 --> 00:04:20,834
[Guy] That's hysterical.
126
00:04:22,166 --> 00:04:24,700
I tend to do a much bigger
adventure than I anticipated.
127
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:26,333
That weighs a pound.
128
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,000
That's not typical deep dish.
129
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,467
That is so light and airy.
130
00:04:31,467 --> 00:04:33,066
The crusty edge is nice.
131
00:04:34,066 --> 00:04:35,567
Go. Spot on.
132
00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:37,200
If you're going to call it
the honeypeno,
133
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,700
you've got to have
great jalapenos on there.
134
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:39,967
Good sized slices.
135
00:04:39,967 --> 00:04:40,934
Not too hot.
136
00:04:42,567 --> 00:04:44,467
-This is a top-notch pie.
-Thank you, man.
137
00:04:45,667 --> 00:04:48,000
I got a honeypeno
for Theresa.
138
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
[man] You're excited
to get to the crust part.
139
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,767
That's like a cheesy crown
on the outside of it.
140
00:04:52,767 --> 00:04:56,266
The charred cut pepperoni,
the hot honey. Just perfect.
141
00:04:56,266 --> 00:04:58,667
Nice little mild burn to it
in a good way.
142
00:04:58,667 --> 00:05:00,567
The honey really adds
some sweetness to it.
143
00:05:00,567 --> 00:05:01,867
Favorite pizza they make.
144
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,200
-Pretty legit.
-Yeah.
145
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,667
Brett makes some
of the best pizza
146
00:05:05,667 --> 00:05:06,800
in the Detroit style here.
147
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,767
We also own
a New York style pizzeria.
148
00:05:08,767 --> 00:05:12,567
Basically, created a
little metropolitan
Omaha pizza alliance.
149
00:05:12,567 --> 00:05:15,166
-It's got 15 different
pizzerias in it.
-Amen.
150
00:05:15,166 --> 00:05:16,700
I'm just trying to put
good pizza on the map,
151
00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:19,100
so I'm here to support
Brett and his wife, Cherish,
152
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:20,166
because they're
not only awesome,
153
00:05:20,166 --> 00:05:22,667
but his passion for
what he does is right here.
154
00:05:22,667 --> 00:05:24,767
[Brett] All right,
I'm ready on a Miss Mona.
155
00:05:24,767 --> 00:05:26,867
[man] Chicken, bacon,
and ranch on a pizza.
156
00:05:26,867 --> 00:05:28,100
You can't go wrong
with that one.
157
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:29,367
[Guy] So what pizza
are we into next?
158
00:05:29,367 --> 00:05:31,166
Miss Mona, which is our
chicken, bacon, ranch.
159
00:05:31,166 --> 00:05:32,634
So we're going to make
our house-made ranch.
160
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:33,867
Sour cream.
161
00:05:33,867 --> 00:05:35,700
-Mayonnaise.
-Buttermilk.
162
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:36,767
[Brett] Granulated garlic.
163
00:05:36,767 --> 00:05:38,567
-Dill.
-Gotta have
dill and ranch.
164
00:05:38,567 --> 00:05:40,367
[Brett] Black pepper.
Ground mustard.
165
00:05:40,367 --> 00:05:42,266
Onion powder. Salt. Sugar.
166
00:05:42,266 --> 00:05:43,266
Worcestershire.
167
00:05:43,266 --> 00:05:44,800
Paprika. Parsley.
168
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,700
And we got chives here.
White vinegar.
169
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:48,500
We're going to let this sit
typically overnight.
170
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:50,500
Now we're ready
to put together our Miss Mona.
171
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:52,567
255g of the cheese blend.
172
00:05:52,567 --> 00:05:54,000
Mozzarella and brick.
173
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,367
That's a game changer
right there.
174
00:05:55,367 --> 00:05:56,934
[Brett] A little sprinkle
of oregano.
175
00:05:57,767 --> 00:05:59,500
Diced bacon. It's pre-cooked.
176
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:02,100
The chicken is smoked
and pre-pulled.
177
00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:03,767
So we got some good
smoke flavor on there.
178
00:06:03,767 --> 00:06:05,367
[Guy] So it saves you
a little bit of that time.
179
00:06:05,367 --> 00:06:06,867
[Brett] Yeah,
and out on this bus,
180
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:08,767
We try to have everything
as prepped as we can.
181
00:06:08,767 --> 00:06:10,567
Some of our house-made
ranch on there.
182
00:06:10,567 --> 00:06:11,467
Barbecue.
183
00:06:11,467 --> 00:06:13,100
Some green onions
to finish it off.
184
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:14,467
There you have our Miss Mona.
185
00:06:18,266 --> 00:06:19,767
It is a crunch vacation, bro.
186
00:06:19,767 --> 00:06:22,500
The skirt that it makes
on the edge of the pan
187
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:23,600
is addicting.
188
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,000
The ranch dressing
is dynamite.
189
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,100
It's got a lot of
really good flavor in it.
190
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:27,867
I get the dill.
191
00:06:27,867 --> 00:06:29,867
Piece of bacon,
piece of chicken
in every bite.
192
00:06:30,166 --> 00:06:31,533
Dynamite.
193
00:06:32,967 --> 00:06:34,166
And your Miss Mona.
194
00:06:34,166 --> 00:06:35,367
It is delicious.
195
00:06:35,367 --> 00:06:37,266
It has a nice
dill taste to it.
196
00:06:37,266 --> 00:06:39,467
The smoky bacon
and ranch combo...
197
00:06:39,467 --> 00:06:41,266
It's just a delight to eat.
198
00:06:41,266 --> 00:06:42,900
We got a Vanilla Ice
coming out.
199
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:46,000
Izzy's Pizza Bus is just the
funnest food truck to support.
200
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,767
I got nothing to say,
but congratulations.
201
00:06:47,767 --> 00:06:49,200
It's the real deal.
202
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,400
It puts a smile on your face.
203
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,834
I'll take it to go, please.
I want the box, souvenir.
204
00:06:53,166 --> 00:06:54,066
Adios.
205
00:06:59,266 --> 00:07:02,400
Up next, a Malaysian oasis
in Cincinnati.
206
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,667
Oh, that is so good.
207
00:07:03,667 --> 00:07:05,400
Flying high with some bird.
208
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,667
The duck is probably
209
00:07:06,667 --> 00:07:08,266
some of the most tender duck
you'll ever try.
210
00:07:08,266 --> 00:07:11,367
And a specialty
where the fix is in the mix.
211
00:07:11,367 --> 00:07:12,900
Such a beautiful dish.
212
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:14,533
And now you have
me destroying it.
213
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,200
You know, one of the things
I love about Triple D,
214
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,834
of course,
is all the great food.
215
00:07:22,834 --> 00:07:24,500
But even more than that
is the people
216
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:26,500
that make the food, especially
when they're immigrants
217
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:27,867
and they come
to the United States
218
00:07:27,867 --> 00:07:29,667
looking for
that American dream.
219
00:07:29,667 --> 00:07:32,000
So I'm here in the
Mount Lookout neighborhood
220
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,867
of Cincinnati, Ohio,
to check out one such dream.
221
00:07:34,867 --> 00:07:38,200
This chef came from Malaysia
when he was 41 years old.
222
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,667
So he opens up
this restaurant.
223
00:07:39,667 --> 00:07:41,667
What people are saying,
when you taste this menu,
224
00:07:41,667 --> 00:07:43,266
it's a one-way ticket
to Malaysia.
225
00:07:43,266 --> 00:07:44,467
This is Sago.
226
00:07:46,266 --> 00:07:48,000
BBQ pork dry noodle.
227
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,367
Sago is this little
hole in the wall place.
228
00:07:50,367 --> 00:07:53,166
The food here is just like
five star restaurant.
229
00:07:53,166 --> 00:07:55,266
Working the Curry Mee broth.
230
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:57,266
I'm always looking for
authentic Malaysian food,
231
00:07:57,266 --> 00:07:59,467
and I found it here.
232
00:07:59,467 --> 00:08:00,867
[Guy] From Chef Paul Liew,
233
00:08:00,867 --> 00:08:03,567
who went from working as
a skilled chef in Malaysia
234
00:08:03,567 --> 00:08:05,934
to fire things up
in Cincinnati.
235
00:08:05,934 --> 00:08:09,300
You're doing Malaysian,
which is an influence of Thai,
236
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:10,266
Chinese...
237
00:08:10,266 --> 00:08:11,867
Indian,
all different countries.
238
00:08:11,867 --> 00:08:13,734
Getting a little
geography lesson, folks.
239
00:08:14,166 --> 00:08:15,467
One nasi lemak.
240
00:08:15,467 --> 00:08:17,400
The best thing on the
menu here is
241
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,667
the nasi lemak
and beef rendang.
242
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:23,300
It's curry beef
stewed for hours.
243
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:26,266
Some sambal, pickles,
a superb dish.
244
00:08:26,266 --> 00:08:28,066
-[Guy] What are we
making today?
-[Paul] Nasi lemak.
245
00:08:28,066 --> 00:08:29,266
-Nasi lemak?
-Yes.
246
00:08:29,266 --> 00:08:31,500
We're going to pressure cook
the beef knuckle
247
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:32,834
for 35 minutes.
248
00:08:32,834 --> 00:08:34,767
-Lemon grass?
-Lemon grass. Water.
249
00:08:34,767 --> 00:08:37,166
[Paul] Once it comes out,
we will chill it, dice it,
250
00:08:37,166 --> 00:08:38,867
before we put it
into the braise.
251
00:08:38,867 --> 00:08:41,667
-What do we do next?
-The fresh spice
for the beef rendang.
252
00:08:41,667 --> 00:08:43,300
[Paul] Oil, lemongrass,
253
00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:45,667
turmeric, galangal, onion.
254
00:08:45,667 --> 00:08:47,100
And then we have dry spice.
255
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:48,767
Star anise first.
I'm going to break it up.
256
00:08:48,767 --> 00:08:50,467
-Break the pod open, yeah.
-[Paul] Yeah. Cardamom.
257
00:08:50,467 --> 00:08:52,166
-Coriander.
-And black pepper.
258
00:08:52,166 --> 00:08:53,467
-[Guy] Fennel.
-Clove.
259
00:08:53,467 --> 00:08:54,634
-And...
-Cumin.
260
00:08:55,166 --> 00:08:57,166
[Paul] Grind the dry spices.
261
00:08:57,166 --> 00:09:00,100
-Puree that for
the beef rendang.
-[Paul] Yeah.
262
00:09:00,367 --> 00:09:01,300
Next step.
263
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:02,500
-Coconut rice.
-[Guy] Okay.
264
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:04,867
This is, uh, jasmine
and long grain rice mixture.
265
00:09:04,867 --> 00:09:09,367
Ginger, onions, lemongrass,
pandan leaf, coconut milk,
266
00:09:09,367 --> 00:09:11,600
salt, MSG, and water.
267
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,300
-Stir it up, let it cook,
then we'll finish the dish.
-[Paul] Yeah.
268
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:17,166
-We put all this together,
and you have beef rendang.
-Let's see it.
269
00:09:17,166 --> 00:09:20,000
Fresh spice mix, chili powder,
spicy chili powder.
270
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,667
You can add more
if you like it spicy.
271
00:09:21,667 --> 00:09:23,667
-Liquid from the
pressure cooker.
-[Guy] Okay.
272
00:09:23,667 --> 00:09:27,066
[Paul] Diced beef, dry spice,
lime leaf, coconut milk,
273
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:30,367
toasted coconut paste,
salt, sugar.
274
00:09:30,367 --> 00:09:32,066
Then cook for 15 minutes.
275
00:09:32,066 --> 00:09:33,000
[Guy] What are we on to next?
276
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Tamarind sambal,
the chili sauce
277
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,266
that goes on the nasi lemak.
278
00:09:36,266 --> 00:09:37,266
-[Guy] Great.
-Oil,
279
00:09:37,266 --> 00:09:40,100
lemongrass, onions,
spicy chili powder.
280
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:41,066
This is tamarind.
281
00:09:41,066 --> 00:09:42,734
[Guy] Tanginess of
the tamarind, got it.
282
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:47,266
Now we put it back in the pan,
salt, sugar.
283
00:09:47,266 --> 00:09:48,500
Smells so good.
284
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:50,200
Cook this until
you can see the oil
285
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,734
separate from the solids,
15 to 20 minutes.
286
00:09:52,734 --> 00:09:54,233
15 minutes of torture.
287
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:55,667
Next?
288
00:09:55,667 --> 00:09:59,467
The spicy pickle, salt,
sugar, water, vinegar,
289
00:09:59,467 --> 00:10:02,467
onion, cucumber,
sweet pepper, carrot.
290
00:10:02,467 --> 00:10:03,400
-Okay.
-All right.
291
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,667
[Paul] We are plating now.
292
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:07,100
-Peanuts, eggs,
the spicy pickle.
-[Guy] Right.
293
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:08,734
Coconut rice, tamarind sambal.
294
00:10:08,734 --> 00:10:11,066
This is the beef rendang
that we cooked.
295
00:10:11,066 --> 00:10:13,500
Toasted sesame seeds
and fried onion.
296
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:16,767
Traditionally, we eat it
all mixed together.
297
00:10:16,767 --> 00:10:18,767
[Guy] It was
such a beautiful dish,
298
00:10:18,767 --> 00:10:20,667
-and now you have
me destroying it.
-[Paul chuckles]
299
00:10:22,667 --> 00:10:24,000
Oh, that is so good.
300
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:25,133
Wow.
301
00:10:26,667 --> 00:10:27,767
You have to mix it together,
302
00:10:27,767 --> 00:10:29,300
because when
you're biting into this
303
00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:31,867
and you get this tender beef
with a little bit of spice,
304
00:10:31,867 --> 00:10:33,667
and you get a little bite
of the pickle,
305
00:10:33,667 --> 00:10:36,166
and then the next thing
you get spicy...
306
00:10:36,166 --> 00:10:38,133
That's really,
really delicious.
307
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:41,367
Nasi lemak and beef rendang.
308
00:10:41,367 --> 00:10:44,266
You have this rich texture
with the beef,
309
00:10:44,266 --> 00:10:45,567
the fluffiness of the rice.
310
00:10:45,567 --> 00:10:47,934
You get some of the spice,
and then you get the egg
311
00:10:47,934 --> 00:10:49,400
that can cool it down.
312
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,967
You take a bite
and keep going.
313
00:10:50,967 --> 00:10:52,500
So when you found this place,
what did you think?
314
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:54,100
I thought it was
the best food in Cincinnati.
315
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:55,767
Something new,
outside of our comfort zone.
316
00:10:55,767 --> 00:10:57,000
Plating prawn mee.
317
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,567
To find authentic
Malaysian food,
it is life changing.
318
00:10:59,567 --> 00:11:01,266
-Have you been to Malaysia?
-I have, yes.
319
00:11:01,266 --> 00:11:02,934
This reminds me of home.
320
00:11:02,934 --> 00:11:05,166
I would try
every Malaysian place
321
00:11:05,166 --> 00:11:06,967
in every city I would go to,
322
00:11:06,967 --> 00:11:08,300
and this is the best.
323
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:09,767
[woman] Dumplings are done.
324
00:11:09,767 --> 00:11:11,467
You know I'm not gonna leave.
I'm going to sleep back there
325
00:11:11,467 --> 00:11:12,567
on the bag of rice.
326
00:11:12,567 --> 00:11:14,266
Then we get back up.
We're gonna make
something else.
327
00:11:14,266 --> 00:11:15,233
Make yourself at home.
328
00:11:18,266 --> 00:11:19,533
This is to balance out
the sweetness
329
00:11:19,867 --> 00:11:21,166
and the umami.
330
00:11:21,166 --> 00:11:22,934
This will definitely
balance out your mommy.
331
00:11:24,033 --> 00:11:26,233
I wouldn't leave home if
my mommy cooked like that.
332
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:28,667
Welcome back.
333
00:11:28,667 --> 00:11:31,867
Triple D hanging out in
Cincinnati with this wild cat.
334
00:11:31,867 --> 00:11:33,500
Chef in Malaysia for years.
335
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:35,734
-Come over here
and start Sago,
-[Paul] Yeah.
336
00:11:35,734 --> 00:11:38,400
which is the name
of the ingredient
337
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,166
from the palm tree that goes
in a lot of the desserts.
338
00:11:40,166 --> 00:11:42,033
-Correct. Perfect.
-How did I do?
339
00:11:42,033 --> 00:11:43,834
[man] Chef Paul really wanted
to let people know
340
00:11:43,834 --> 00:11:45,166
what Malaysian food
is all about,
341
00:11:45,166 --> 00:11:46,867
and he does an amazing job
representing that with
342
00:11:46,867 --> 00:11:47,867
every dish he puts out.
343
00:11:47,867 --> 00:11:49,100
Two minutes left on the duck.
344
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:51,066
Best thing on the menu
is definitely the duck.
345
00:11:51,066 --> 00:11:53,467
That sauce is just rich
and delicious,
346
00:11:53,467 --> 00:11:55,834
and then the noodles
are just so tender.
347
00:11:55,834 --> 00:11:57,066
[Guy] What are we
making next, Chef?
348
00:11:57,066 --> 00:11:59,166
-Dry rub for the roast duck.
-Let's see it.
349
00:11:59,166 --> 00:12:01,200
Ginger powder,
black pepper powder,
350
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,266
-cinnamon powder.
-Cinnamon.
351
00:12:02,266 --> 00:12:04,500
-Ground up star anise, okay.
-[Paul] Kosher salt.
352
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:06,266
-[Guy] Chicken base.
-White pepper.
353
00:12:06,266 --> 00:12:09,200
-Dry rub in every cavity
that we can find.
-[Paul] Yes.
354
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,367
Shaoxing wine.
355
00:12:10,367 --> 00:12:12,033
[Guy]
How long is this dry rub
going to go on, Chef?
356
00:12:12,033 --> 00:12:13,100
At least 24 hours.
357
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:15,500
-And then we're
going to skewer it.
-[Guy] Okay.
358
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:17,367
We're going to make
the maltose solution.
359
00:12:17,367 --> 00:12:19,300
Maltose is sugar from wheat.
360
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:21,667
And that's specifically the
type that needs to be used
361
00:12:21,667 --> 00:12:23,100
for making the Peking duck.
362
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:25,100
Correct. To give
the duck the color.
363
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:26,300
Just regular white vinegar.
364
00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:27,300
Water.
365
00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:29,266
We will blanch the skin.
366
00:12:29,266 --> 00:12:30,367
This is just hot water.
367
00:12:30,367 --> 00:12:32,834
-We're just sealing up
the pores on the duck.
-Correct.
368
00:12:32,834 --> 00:12:34,667
And we'll put the
maltose solution inside,
369
00:12:34,667 --> 00:12:36,000
and we'll do the same--
370
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,033
-[Guy] We do the same thing
with the duck now? Ah.
-[Paul] Yeah.
371
00:12:38,033 --> 00:12:40,367
[Paul] Hang this out to dry
two to three hours.
372
00:12:40,367 --> 00:12:43,734
-What, you just hang them
around here like laundry?
-Something like that.
373
00:12:43,734 --> 00:12:45,367
[Paul]
After the duck is air dried,
374
00:12:45,367 --> 00:12:47,066
we will brush
some Hoisin sauce
375
00:12:47,066 --> 00:12:48,400
in the cavity of the duck.
376
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,567
How long is the
duck going to cook?
377
00:12:49,567 --> 00:12:52,033
[Paul] 45 minutes
at 350 degrees.
378
00:12:52,033 --> 00:12:53,734
-So it'll crisp up
the top of the duck.
-Correct.
379
00:12:53,734 --> 00:12:55,834
-What's up next?
-Sauce for the noodles.
380
00:12:55,834 --> 00:12:57,166
Water, kosher salt,
381
00:12:57,166 --> 00:12:58,867
-sugar.
-[Guy] Chicken base.
382
00:12:58,867 --> 00:13:01,600
Dark soy sauce,
sesame oil, white pepper.
383
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,867
[Guy] That's the noodle sauce?
384
00:13:02,867 --> 00:13:04,166
-That's the noodle sauce.
-Okay.
385
00:13:04,166 --> 00:13:07,667
-And the noodles are just
regular egg noodles?
-[Paul] Yes.
386
00:13:07,667 --> 00:13:08,634
Delicious.
387
00:13:09,467 --> 00:13:10,667
So it's out of the oven.
388
00:13:10,667 --> 00:13:11,734
Now what's the final step?
389
00:13:11,734 --> 00:13:12,967
[Paul] Crisp up the skin.
390
00:13:12,967 --> 00:13:14,100
Duck's been through a lot.
391
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:15,734
Now we're going
to cut up the duck.
392
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,100
[Guy] Look at that.
393
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:20,634
-[Paul] Hoisin sauce.
-From a happy duck.
394
00:13:23,467 --> 00:13:24,967
[Guy] The duck is probably
some of the most
395
00:13:24,967 --> 00:13:26,033
tender duck you'll ever try.
396
00:13:26,033 --> 00:13:28,667
Not served medium rare
like we typically do,
397
00:13:28,667 --> 00:13:31,667
but there's a ton of moisture
inside of the duck.
398
00:13:32,266 --> 00:13:33,934
The fat's rendered
down nicely.
399
00:13:33,934 --> 00:13:36,467
The skin on the outside
is the bomb.
400
00:13:36,467 --> 00:13:39,767
And complemented with a little
sweetness of the Hoisin,
401
00:13:39,767 --> 00:13:43,333
but it's not one
particular note or flavor.
402
00:13:44,667 --> 00:13:46,033
Outstanding.
403
00:13:46,567 --> 00:13:47,734
Roast duck dry noodle.
404
00:13:47,734 --> 00:13:49,300
As soon as you take
a bite of the duck,
405
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:50,867
it just snaps in your mouth.
406
00:13:50,867 --> 00:13:52,367
It's somehow crunchy
and crispy,
407
00:13:52,367 --> 00:13:53,967
but tender at the same time.
408
00:13:53,967 --> 00:13:55,300
It's got a real depth
of flavor.
409
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:57,967
Curry mee with
Hainanese chicken. Table five.
410
00:13:57,967 --> 00:13:59,600
The food in here
is just amazing.
411
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,967
You can pick
just about anything
412
00:14:00,967 --> 00:14:02,634
and you're going to get
a killer meal.
413
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,033
This is the kind
of place that,
414
00:14:05,033 --> 00:14:06,834
I said it a million times,
415
00:14:06,834 --> 00:14:08,567
You would blow...
you drive by this every day,
416
00:14:08,567 --> 00:14:10,166
not knowing it's here.
417
00:14:10,166 --> 00:14:12,000
We found out about it.
I stopped.
418
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
I get a place to park.
419
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,567
And you walk in, and you get
420
00:14:14,567 --> 00:14:16,500
almost transported
to Malaysia.
421
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:18,266
-It's a passport.
-Thank you. Thank you.
422
00:14:18,266 --> 00:14:19,533
I'll get the rest
of that duck to go.
423
00:14:22,667 --> 00:14:24,867
Coming up in Port Chester,
New York.
424
00:14:24,867 --> 00:14:26,467
Trying to make
that perfect bite.
425
00:14:26,467 --> 00:14:29,166
A Salvadorian spot
with deep family roots.
426
00:14:29,166 --> 00:14:31,767
You and your brother
sticking to the traditions,
427
00:14:31,767 --> 00:14:34,266
Putting their cultural spin
on tamales.
428
00:14:34,266 --> 00:14:36,066
-Delicious.
Absolutely delicious.
-Yeah, really--
429
00:14:36,066 --> 00:14:38,967
And serving up pupusas,
just like mom made.
430
00:14:38,967 --> 00:14:40,233
That's the game changer.
431
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:46,767
All right, Dad. So we drive
all the way out here
432
00:14:46,767 --> 00:14:48,934
to Port Chester, New York.
Where are we going?
433
00:14:48,934 --> 00:14:51,600
[Guy] El Salvadorian food.
You're going to love it.
434
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,767
I mean, it's got
a great story.
435
00:14:52,767 --> 00:14:55,400
Two sons took over the
restaurant from their parents.
436
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,867
And their parents
had taken it over
437
00:14:56,867 --> 00:14:57,867
from one of their uncles.
438
00:14:57,867 --> 00:14:59,600
And I hear
the food is amazing.
439
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,066
So find a place to park.
440
00:15:01,066 --> 00:15:02,367
Just remember the name.
441
00:15:02,367 --> 00:15:04,667
Rinconcito SalvadoreƱo
442
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:09,667
[speaking Spanish]
443
00:15:09,667 --> 00:15:10,767
The food's amazing,
444
00:15:10,767 --> 00:15:12,100
like, I'm excited
to come here every time.
445
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:13,767
Costilla asada.
Rice and beans.
446
00:15:13,767 --> 00:15:16,667
Salvadorian food,
it's unique in its flavors.
447
00:15:16,667 --> 00:15:18,033
It's the best.
448
00:15:18,033 --> 00:15:20,567
[Guy] The best coming
from brothers David
and Edwin Sorto,
449
00:15:20,567 --> 00:15:23,200
who are keeping their
Salvadorian roots strong
450
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,867
with generations
of family recipes.
451
00:15:25,867 --> 00:15:28,567
So how do you explain
Salvadorian food?
452
00:15:28,567 --> 00:15:30,500
[David]
You know, simple ingredients,
but comfort foods
453
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:32,100
from, you know,
people in poverty, right?
454
00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:34,300
It's poor food. But if you
treat it the right way,
455
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:36,467
-it's got tremendous flavor.
-It has a lot of flavors.
456
00:15:36,467 --> 00:15:38,467
-What are the specialties
of the house?
-Pupusas.
457
00:15:38,467 --> 00:15:40,600
Pupusas is like
having hot dogs
458
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,600
in the street of New York City
down in El Salvador.
459
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,000
Pupusa revuelta.
460
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,567
The best one is
our pupusa revuelta,
pork and cheese.
461
00:15:46,567 --> 00:15:50,166
Kind of like a tortilla
filled with cheese
and chicharron.
462
00:15:50,166 --> 00:15:52,867
We are preparing
our chicharron for
our pupusa revueltas.
463
00:15:52,867 --> 00:15:54,600
We got our
pork shoulder butts.
464
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,066
We do some
dried oregano, adobo.
465
00:15:57,066 --> 00:15:58,200
Granulated garlic.
466
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,767
Parsley, chicken bouillon.
467
00:15:59,767 --> 00:16:02,667
-Cook this down.
-For about maybe
an hour and a half.
468
00:16:02,667 --> 00:16:04,400
Now we're going to get
into our picadillo.
469
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,066
This is the sofrito that goes
along with our pork.
470
00:16:07,066 --> 00:16:10,400
Corn oil, some tomato,
green pepper, red pepper,
471
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,300
white and red onions, celery.
472
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:14,500
Never seen celery
in a sofrito.
473
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:16,100
Cilantro. Garlic.
474
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:17,934
[David] Bay leaves
and some chile guajillo.
475
00:16:17,934 --> 00:16:19,667
Oregano, some adobo.
476
00:16:19,667 --> 00:16:20,867
[Guy] Red chili flake.
477
00:16:20,867 --> 00:16:23,100
-Is that sazon
we're going with?
-This is some sazon.
478
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:24,467
[Guy] Let this cook down.
479
00:16:24,467 --> 00:16:27,600
And we go ahead and grind our
chicharron and our picadillo
480
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,834
for pupusa filling.
481
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:31,367
So once everything
is blended down,
482
00:16:31,367 --> 00:16:33,000
-we have some
mozzarella cheese.
-Okay.
483
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,867
We have our masa here
and what we do,
484
00:16:34,867 --> 00:16:36,567
we shape it into form.
485
00:16:36,567 --> 00:16:38,166
-On the flat top.
-Ready to go.
486
00:16:38,166 --> 00:16:39,834
So what else goes
on the pupusa?
487
00:16:39,834 --> 00:16:41,367
We serve it what we call
as a curtido.
488
00:16:41,367 --> 00:16:42,567
-It's a coleslaw. Yeah.
-Curtido?
489
00:16:42,567 --> 00:16:45,100
[David] Cabbage, carrots,
red and white onions,
490
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:47,033
fresh cilantro, salt,
491
00:16:47,033 --> 00:16:49,200
red crushed peppers,
dried oregano,
492
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,300
and red wine vinegar,
493
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:52,000
along with some
tomato sauce that we made.
494
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,867
-[Guy] What's in it?
-Onions and garlic.
495
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:55,033
Once those are
translucent enough,
496
00:16:55,033 --> 00:16:56,834
we throw in the
whole peeled tomato.
497
00:16:56,834 --> 00:16:58,600
Once that's cooking down,
we put in tomato paste.
498
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,567
And we add some
chicken bouillon powder,
499
00:17:00,567 --> 00:17:03,266
adobo, oregano, sugar.
500
00:17:03,266 --> 00:17:05,166
So we just wait for it
to get to a nice simmer.
501
00:17:05,166 --> 00:17:07,000
Then we finish it off
with some cilantro.
502
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,567
-Puree?
-Yeah.
503
00:17:09,266 --> 00:17:10,967
We have the coleslaw ready.
504
00:17:10,967 --> 00:17:14,400
We add some of our
tomato sauce and pupusa--
505
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,934
I love my tomato sauce
in my coleslaw.
506
00:17:16,934 --> 00:17:18,100
[David] There you go.
507
00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:19,433
It is just hot to hold.
508
00:17:21,467 --> 00:17:23,567
Mmm. First crispy,
509
00:17:23,567 --> 00:17:26,567
then creaminess of the pupusa,
then the cheesiness.
510
00:17:26,567 --> 00:17:28,467
But then all of a sudden,
you get the contrast
511
00:17:28,467 --> 00:17:31,100
of the slaw with
the tomato sauce,
512
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:33,100
cooling it down and adding
a little bit of acid.
513
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:35,767
-It's dynamite, dude.
-How's the pupusa revuelta?
514
00:17:35,767 --> 00:17:37,567
When you bite into it, you can
really taste the pork
515
00:17:37,567 --> 00:17:38,667
mixed in with the cheese.
516
00:17:38,667 --> 00:17:41,767
The curtidos and the
salsa de tomate,
517
00:17:41,767 --> 00:17:43,934
It's great.
It adds some freshness.
518
00:17:43,934 --> 00:17:45,567
Jeff is my agent at WME.
519
00:17:45,567 --> 00:17:46,567
This is his beautiful family.
520
00:17:46,567 --> 00:17:49,600
If you watched Triple D
13 years ago?
521
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,600
[woman] Yeah.
522
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,066
[Guy] This is a tradition now.
523
00:17:52,066 --> 00:17:54,100
We have a reunion, and we've
come back to a Triple D joint.
524
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:56,300
-So far, what are your
first bites like?
-Amazing.
525
00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:57,667
It's incredible.
It's really, really good.
526
00:17:57,667 --> 00:17:58,934
[Guy] Have you had
a pupusa before?
527
00:17:58,934 --> 00:18:00,166
-[woman] No.
-What do you think?
528
00:18:00,166 --> 00:18:01,567
I like the spices.
529
00:18:01,567 --> 00:18:02,667
Tamale is out.
530
00:18:02,667 --> 00:18:05,166
-And these recipes
came from where?
-My mother.
531
00:18:05,166 --> 00:18:06,467
[David] Tamalitos de elote.
532
00:18:06,467 --> 00:18:07,867
They're cooking from
where they came from,
533
00:18:07,867 --> 00:18:09,500
and it tastes great.
534
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:11,367
It's amazing to see
them spreading, like,
535
00:18:11,367 --> 00:18:13,266
the Salvadorian culture
here in New York.
536
00:18:13,266 --> 00:18:15,567
-Chicken tamales.
-Our tamales.
537
00:18:15,567 --> 00:18:18,500
They are a little bit bigger
than your traditional tamales
538
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:21,266
that you would have in Mexico.
Oh, they're so good.
539
00:18:21,266 --> 00:18:23,033
I never knew that
there were tamales
in El Salvadorian food.
540
00:18:23,033 --> 00:18:24,033
[David] Yeah.
541
00:18:24,033 --> 00:18:25,100
-And so you--
-Dude.
542
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:28,467
I had to park over the bridge,
around the corner--
543
00:18:28,467 --> 00:18:29,867
-This is my son Hunter.
-Sorry. How you doing?
544
00:18:29,867 --> 00:18:31,300
Nice to meet you.
Sorry, I'm late.
545
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:32,266
All right, Jeff. What's next?
546
00:18:32,266 --> 00:18:34,233
We're getting into
our tamales de pollo.
547
00:18:34,567 --> 00:18:35,867
Water. Chicken.
548
00:18:35,867 --> 00:18:40,066
Red peppers, green peppers,
some white onions, cilantro.
549
00:18:40,066 --> 00:18:41,166
Celery again.
550
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,367
Garlic and chicken base.
551
00:18:42,367 --> 00:18:44,667
-How long is that
going to go for?
-45, 50 minutes.
552
00:18:44,667 --> 00:18:46,567
-[Guy] Until the
chicken's shreddable.
-[David] Yeah.
553
00:18:46,567 --> 00:18:49,000
Now we're working on the sauce
that goes inside the tamales.
554
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,100
-Okay.
-You know, we want
to keep it nice
555
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:51,667
and juicy and flavorful.
556
00:18:51,667 --> 00:18:52,967
-So this is what we--
-Juicy.
557
00:18:52,967 --> 00:18:55,300
-He just has all
my favorite words.
-I was going to say moist.
558
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:57,033
So this is what
we call recaldo.
559
00:18:57,033 --> 00:18:58,867
Water, green peppers.
560
00:18:58,867 --> 00:19:01,467
-[Guy] Tomatoes.
-Onions, and red peppers.
561
00:19:01,467 --> 00:19:03,767
[David] Toasted pumpkin seeds,
toasted sesame seeds.
562
00:19:03,767 --> 00:19:06,467
-Dried oregano,
achiote water, annatto seeds.
-[Guy] Okay.
563
00:19:06,467 --> 00:19:08,967
Toasted guajillo,
cumin and cloves.
564
00:19:08,967 --> 00:19:11,867
-We have some toasted garlic,
some toasted bay leaves.
-[Guy] Got it.
565
00:19:11,867 --> 00:19:13,834
[David] We blend it.
We put it on a stock pot.
566
00:19:13,834 --> 00:19:16,200
We let it cook for 25 minutes.
567
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,066
-Where are we at?
-Prepping for our masa.
568
00:19:18,066 --> 00:19:20,367
[David] We add the
strained chicken stock.
569
00:19:20,367 --> 00:19:21,667
Let me guess. Red bell pepper,
570
00:19:21,667 --> 00:19:23,867
-green bell pepper,
cilantro, and onions.
-How'd you know?
571
00:19:23,867 --> 00:19:25,667
Ah, I've been
hanging out for a while.
572
00:19:25,667 --> 00:19:26,834
[David]
So we throw that all together.
573
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Fresh garlic.
574
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,967
-Let's make the masa.
-Yes, sir.
575
00:19:30,967 --> 00:19:33,867
-[David] Some of our chicken
stock, corn flour, our masa
-[Guy] Masa.
576
00:19:33,867 --> 00:19:35,266
[David] The marinade
we just prepared.
577
00:19:35,266 --> 00:19:36,667
Have you ever heard of loroco?
578
00:19:36,667 --> 00:19:38,300
-No.
-This is a bud,
579
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:40,500
you know, in El Salvador
before it blossoms.
580
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:42,000
[Guy] Let that cook.
Let it cool.
581
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,200
And then we start
to stuff the tamales.
582
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,767
[David] We wrap them
in banana leaves.
583
00:19:45,767 --> 00:19:47,567
-[Guy] Not in
corn husks?
-No.
584
00:19:47,567 --> 00:19:48,667
That's bananas.
585
00:19:48,667 --> 00:19:50,367
Recaldo. Chicken.
586
00:19:50,367 --> 00:19:52,166
Bell peppers. Roll this up.
587
00:19:52,166 --> 00:19:54,166
We wrap it again in some
aluminum foil, nice and tight.
588
00:19:54,166 --> 00:19:56,100
This is going to boil,
not steam.
589
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:58,066
[David] We let this cook
for about two hours.
590
00:20:00,266 --> 00:20:01,734
Trying to make
that perfect bite.
591
00:20:04,166 --> 00:20:06,100
That masa is nice
and creamy.
592
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:07,567
Wow. Not dry at all.
593
00:20:07,567 --> 00:20:09,967
[Guy] And the flavor
from the salsa recaldo,
594
00:20:09,967 --> 00:20:11,166
that's the game changer.
595
00:20:11,166 --> 00:20:13,166
-Delicious.
Absolutely delicious.
-Yeah, really--
596
00:20:13,166 --> 00:20:15,000
[David] Finishing the
tamales de pollo.
597
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,367
The meat is tender.
598
00:20:16,367 --> 00:20:17,467
The sauce
puts it all together.
599
00:20:17,467 --> 00:20:18,667
[Guy] You've had
Mexican tamales.
600
00:20:18,667 --> 00:20:20,266
-Yeah.
-What do you
think of this one?
601
00:20:20,266 --> 00:20:23,000
I think they're a
little different but
they're super flavorful.
602
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,100
[David speaking Spanish]
603
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:26,600
The love that they put
into this place
604
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,767
is the same love
that they put into this food.
605
00:20:28,767 --> 00:20:30,734
It's not just the fact
that El Salvadorian food,
606
00:20:30,734 --> 00:20:32,266
I don't think,
gets enough recognition.
607
00:20:32,266 --> 00:20:33,233
That's one thing.
608
00:20:33,233 --> 00:20:35,667
You and your brother
sticking to the traditions,
609
00:20:35,667 --> 00:20:37,166
you are a beacon, my friend.
610
00:20:38,266 --> 00:20:40,266
Was that a road trip or what?
611
00:20:40,266 --> 00:20:41,400
But don't worry.
612
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,867
There's plenty more joints
all over this great country.
613
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:46,967
I'll be looking for you
next time on Triple D.
614
00:20:46,967 --> 00:20:48,767
Mom and dad know
this is happening?
615
00:20:48,767 --> 00:20:50,667
They're probably
watching you right there.
616
00:20:52,867 --> 00:20:55,200
Filomena and Fabio,
they're doing great.
617
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,567
-Thank you.
-Okay, that's what I
was supposed to say,
618
00:20:56,567 --> 00:20:58,066
-right?
-[laughs] Yeah.
619
00:20:58,066 --> 00:21:00,066
-He'll sign you
a check right after.
-Just smile.
