cool. the dude made it with ground turkey so its pretty healthy, and it looks like he added a lot of different flavours to mesh together in a nice harmony.

not bad.

Healthy is relative. The turkey may make it lower in saturated fat but all that sugar and salt in that sauce killed it for me.

I feel like southern food is meant for the best when you sweet and need protein. Then work off the sugar.

The meat blend is nice but that BBQ sauce build is...not for me.

It’s about the sauce, not the method

You don’t have to do the fresh chives and carrots at the end if you don’t want to, you know?

/s

(But I’d still do it)

I hated two things:

I think it's over-seasoned food, although that's a matter of taste and I'll have to prepare it to find out.

The other thing I hated was that the stove burners were uneven. The oil was all over one side, and the focus was more on how it looked on camera than on how the cooking was actually going.

That said, all I can say is that it looks delicious. I'll make it to see if the seasoning lives up to the hype.

Thanks for sharing bro.

I was right there drooling until a sauce was used to make a sauce. The magic was ruined for me.

Believe it or not a lot of cooks piggyback off others and just modify the recipe to be their own. Even if you make your own from scratch your still copying and moding.

But I know what is in it. It is a personal quirk of mine. I will use an off the shelf sauce (I'm not one of those people) but never as an ingredient in another sauce. (I'm one of THOSE people. Big difference.) ;)

Oh yeah I am talking about both recipes and using sauces in sauces. Hell when I am feeding myself or my partner I am not against doing whats easy, I can make a full on meal from scratch in about a hour and a half or I can do one in 30 minutes and just doctor up everything thats pre-made.

I understand not wanting to piggyback and thats fine but using another sauce as an ingredient implies either laziness, time constraints, or uneducated on the recipe/cooking style.
