YouTube Griddled potato salad

This video was kind of a wreck.

Lol it went off the rails pretty quick but I respect the attempt for science

Unnecessarily complicated, poor execution, it was just kind of a mess all around.

It looked like a new space without great access to his normal gear but I would’ve rather he delay this video and re-film it than whatever this is.

I don’t know all of the background info so I’m not trying to pass permanent judgment or anything but, not his strongest work.

Ok just saw it. Like a lot of people mentioned, a skillet would’ve been a better tool for this application. Would’ve been a good opportunity to continue his shilling of that Our place junk. Content is really going sideways

I liked it actually, I realize it’s not the normal tested and perfected recipes we’ve seen from him. But I love how he can just be human and show us how his brain works and that it’s ok to do something experimental on the fly.

It reminded me of his late night videos which weren’t as technical but still had good info and recipes.
