Thomas Keller’s farmhouse cheddar grilled cheese with homemade brioche bread, tomato consommé and butter-fried potato chips – a perfect lunch to be had… 30 days from when I wanted it. There’s an explanation and it’s all TK’s fault (none of it is, he’s a gem). This recipe is from The French Laundry Cookbook

Congrats to you and Mrs. Anti-Chef on the little bb!!!!!!
Editing to add that that burn looks nasty 😢 Hope your arm is okay.
Dude Kids are more important than a grilled cheese sandwich with cold tomato soup. Congratulations on being a good father! 😊
There is not a snowballs chance I wold ever spend that much time preparing tomato soup and grilled cheese. My daughter in law worked at the French Laundry for couple years and it was fantastic food! Thomas Keller is one amazing, one of a kind chef, beautiful creations.
Can Night Time Jamie please be the bad boy alternate ego all the time now??
I saw someone else make tomato sauce by blitzing the tomatoes in a blender, and storing the blend in a dispenser with a spigot on the bottom. Overnight in the fridge, the bits floated up top and he drained the water via the spigot. Bits made sauce and he just threw up the consome you worked so hard to make as it was a by product 😂
Don't feel bad, Gordon Ramsey can't make a grilled cheese sandwich either, lol.
"My tomato sacks are officially dangling."
I'm willing to bet you never thought that sentence would come out of your mouth.
It took you a month because you took too long* man I was here thinking this chef dude from the book expected a team of people working on his recipes
The fact that all this is for a grilled cheese
Sick mandolin. Link?
I was looking for a hanging cured sausage.
Truck-nut-esque !!!
I believe the cake flour may be to blame for the bread disaster. Cake flour is for things like muffins and, well, cake-it forms less gluten. Without enough gluten the bread will fall apart and be crumbly.
Jamie, that you produced this saga of a video is a testament to your true grit as a culinary die hard. Well done!👏👏👏❤️
Low-gluten bread dough is, by definition, going to be crumbly. It will be soft, but it will be more like a cake than bread. I'm not sure why Keller does that, unless he wants to wow customers that he can make cake dough into bread. Anyway, this is a lot of words to say that I'd make the bread with bread flour and go from there.
Jamie Jamie Jamie, we must treat our baked goods like a small little baby; with patience and a gentle touch 😂😂😂😂
I've been watching this channel for quite a long time, and I must say I've never seen someone put so much effort into baking to then be totally rough with what is made.
@18:29 Forget the rest of the video. Throw some goat cheese in there, some oregano? I would just eat the fresh brioche in tomato sauce and be extremely happy.
Looks beautiful, Jamie! That being said, I think I'll stick to the Wonderbread special.
Ketchup for grilled cheese? I'm gonna down vote. 👇🏻
A mandolin isn’t really dangerous right? I see jokes all the time but I feel like it’s just a new cycle of the deli slicer jokes. I guess my real question is are dum dums out there really getting hurt by stationary blades?
How to spot a kitchen poseur : wearing aprons with leather straps or appointments,or the apron is made with wax cotton or other expensive details that can’t be machine washed with reckless abandon, and lastly wearing a knit beanie cap while performing any task in any kitchen period.
I laughed so much. thank you. also butter paper can betray you (as you found out)
This is exactly the kind of lame, overrated, overpriced, over complicated food that an asshole like Gavin Newsome would have, at that stupid French laundry restaurant, with 35 of his buddies, while everyone else is locked down at home, on his order. 🙄
Oh, and next time you bake a loaf 🍞 in a loaf pan like that, I have 2 words for you- Parchment Paper. 😂
I love fancy recipes: this is quick and easy. You just need 37 hours to prepare this snack! Dude. Buy a sifter. Its like 4.99
You said don’t laugh, I failed miserably. All the people in the airport are probably wondering why I yelled fridge scrotum…
Wow. Well, the smoke alarm didnt go off. If i had to go thru all those steps for my daily requiementof calories, calorie reduction would not be a problem. Congrats on going thru all that.
😂😂😂😂I love this channel SO MUCH😂😂😂😂😂
Beanie, t-shirt and apron. You got socks and sandals to complete the look? No shade, comfort is comfort.
The "Cheese-shredder", is that rare in the US/Canada? Over here it's literally found in every household and workplace kitchen, often several of them
Great video as always <3
Just listened to the latest judge John hodgman podcast episode and he mentioned Jamie during the madein ad read! So glad two greats are acquainted
This looks incredibly photogenic. I sort of feel like Keller misses the point of a grilled cheese though. I want a grilled cheese when it's cold and dark outside, when I've been playing in the snow or soaked in the rain. I want it to be warm and comforting. I want to dip my grilled cheese into a thick and luxurious tomato soup. The cold tomato juice thing is probably great paired with… I don't know, something summery. But this is not the grilled cheese experience I'm looking for.
That being said, your video did not miss the mark. The mark missing is entirely Keller's doing. I enjoyed the whole thing!
Wasn’t expecting graphic testicle imagery in this episode but I’m all here for it
Brother this is literally a scene from the walking dead
I can't see/hear/think about grilled cheese without remembering the time Gordon Ramsay tried to make fancy grilled cheese, completely failed, lied about how magnificent it turned out and the internet called his ass out 😅
Can those tomatoes ❤
Good heavens! That wouldn’t feed a cat!
Grease AND FLOUR pan
okay….you in your moment of despair about that brioche loaf and yet you take a moment to wish well for those requiring the sirens….one of the many reasons I LOVE your videos!
Like I'm sure this is amazing, but the effort compared to a regular grilled cheese and tomato soup at home is wild. Like you can buy the nice version of everything in this video at the grocery store, have a delicious meal and not spend days worth of prep on it. Definitely not an at home recipe for normal people.
Thank you for suffering for our entertainment at least!
It is not American at all to eat grilled cheese with cold tomatoe water. It's supposed to be hot, creamy tomatoe soup.
My stupid ass was like « why does this guy seem familiar » but then I realized you just have a hat on 😬
Too silly. Wonderbread, American cheese slices and a can of Campbells and we're done.
didnt let the bread cool…
This recipe makes no sense whatsoever 😭
From Toronto, me too!✌😅
Why is the "soup" cold. Wtf. Weird
I have a great tip to prenvent buttering your plate or counter top while making grilled cheese. Butter your first slice and keep it butter side up. Butter your second slice and place it on top of the other one butter side down (so both buttered sides are together). Load the top slice and when ready to fry, lift the upper slice with the topping and place in the pan. Lift the second slice, flip it buttered side up and place on top of the slice in the pan. Boom, clean surfaces everywhere (there may be some crumbs on your surfaces, though)
15:09 I have no idea if those are peruvian either, but I do have a peruvian hairless dog and his skin is kinda similar to those dark first ones you pulled out
Having tomato consushit instead of real tomato soup literally destroys the entire concept of a grilled cheese and tomato soup! What a disgusting waste of opportunity to have something actually good! Especially CHILLED tomato water instead of fucking hot tomato soup!! WHO THE HELL CAM UP WITH THIS AND WHY DOES ANYONE LISTEN TO THEM?!!???!
my brain melted when you said "1 inch diameter cubes"
