CJ fires up the griddle with his French Dip spread, loading up shaved ribeye, melty provolone, and a seriously flavorful au jus that he swears is worth the extra simmer time. He keeps the jokes rolling, but the moment those fries hit the special seasoning, everyone knows he’s dialed in. And when the first dunk happens, he just grins—because that’s the bite he was waiting for. 🔥

French Onion 🍻
I'm thinking of a breadless (GF) variant, using hashbrowns instead of fries, and serving it 'bowl' style.
Good one all around, fun to watch to, helps to crank up the griddle.
Love Cj's first cooking show more than the new thing they did in place… More cuts more simplicity more IRL

Hey CJ! You would think by now that Nate would trust your process and not dare to question your cooking greatness (or madness) 😂 Great recipe my friend!
Looks amazing ! Definitely will try it !!
Why ask why? Try Bud Dry
I was yelling the jus is going to be too salty 😂. The rest looked amazing and the fry seasoning is pure genius ❤
