The problem isn't the recipe or ingredients. Its that a professional chef failed at making the first thing you teach people to make as kids. Sure getting a perfectly photogenic grill cheese isn't as easy as it looks. But the cheese isn't even melted.

[Anonymous No.14766488]

no one thinks it would taste bad, kimchi goes great on sandwiches. The problem is that its done poorly

everyone who says the cheese should have melted is a lukewarm IQ retard, asiago and romano are not melting cheeses, asiago is when sodium metabisulfate is added to it.

the only problem is the cheese choice, but he wanted to use cheese from a local dude in Australia so it's just a different take on it whatever.

modern day cooking and youtube has truly warped the perception of food products, it's kinda hilarious especially with people calling the bread burnt when only a quarter of the crust on one side got blackened. and it would taste fine anyway.

[Anonymous No.14766625]

>>14766610
Gordon himself said the cheese was melted when he cut into the sandwich. You can still use hard cheese like those in a grilled cheese for flavor by mixing it with better melting cheese, sometimes it's even good to put it on the outside of the bread itself which would've been an interesting technique for people to learn that they could find useful at home.

>it's kinda hilarious especially with people calling the bread burnt when only a quarter of the crust on one side got blackened.
It's still burned and he knew he messed up because it was turned away from the camera for the rest of the video. The whole video was just kind of pretentious and useless, no reason to really defend it.

[Anonymous No.14766662]

>>14766625
if this part is what people are complaining about then they're complete babies. this shit is on grilled bread and even bread out of the oven all the time. who doesn't love char on their bread, maybe if you eat store white bread you don't

yeah, those techniques are good for harder melting cheeses, and i won't defend him saying it melted but that's just how it would turn out cooked the way he did it no matter what

It's a cheese sandwich that has been grilled, what's the problem? Nowhere in the name does it suggest the cheese has to be fully melted

[Anonymous No.14766732]

Yeah, why not just put the bread in the toaster and then put the cheese inbetween?

[Anonymous No.14766740]

At the start of the video he says he grew up with grilled cheese, "that was cheese on toast"

[Anonymous No.14766743]

>i won't defend him saying it melted
He says the cheese had melted before he cut it open. It's entirely possible he didn't know at that point and was bluffing

[Anonymous No.14766787]

>>14766723
i just said they weren't melting cheeses, it's not gonna look melted. its hot enough for consumption

go make one with those cheeses and come back

[Anonymous No.14766807]

>>14766477
All it would have taken would be to make the bread thinner and turn the heat down so you can leave ot longer. You could also have toasted the "inside" of each slice first, then put the cheese on the hot bread and only then assemble the sandwich and toast the other side of each slice, that would have made the cheese melt much quicker.

I know even though you're a michelin starred chef, you can fuck up a dish if you're making it for the first time. but the fact that he didn't do a reshoot, but rather uploaded it with the title "ultimate grilled cheese sandwich" amazes me.
I promise you if he got that shit at a restaurant he would spit it out and lambaste the chef

also, why does he always look like he just woke up? is he an alcoholic or something

[Anonymous No.14767500]

>>14766280
i think this point is fair. Honestly, if someone made the sandwich for me i would eat it.
I think the meme comes from the fact that Gordon boasts himself to be a "master" at cooking and honestly a child in the 4-8 range could make a better looking sandwich than that. Also, Gordon himself is a braggadocios tool bag. So it feels good to point out when he fucks up.

And if that is the case then Gordon just fucked up and could even melt meltable cheese.

I'm not against the idea, but it's not really a grilled cheese anymore. It's more of a toasted kimchi and cheese sandwich. Basically, kimchi is too strong to be anything but the frontrunner.

Calls it a grilled cheese when its a melt, not even made on a grill

[Anonymous No.14769985]

>>14766740
Cheese on toast is put under the grill. I think Americans call it a broiler? The point is, the cheese on British cheese on toast is just as melted as in an American grilled cheese.
These weird Gordon defenders coming out of the woodwork are just bizarre. The kimchi is only a problem if you're some kind of purist. It sounds nice honestly, especially with those cheeses. But he burnt the bread, unevenly charring a big corner of it to black, then tried to hide that, but didn't pass that note on to the editing team who featured it prominently. If you burn the bread and have paving stone slabs of ice cold cheese in your grilled cheese you don't respect your audience if you don't reshoot it. Why defend someone who doesn't respect you?

get off your high horse

not defending gordon, just making the point that everyone who says the cheese should be melted or it looks ice cold is a fucking idiot.

slabs of asiago and romano will not melt into a desirable silky form like american cheese, but it would have mostly if he shredded it. gordon is retarded for not doing that.

as for the burnt bread, i'm not even gonna tackle this shit because its personalized for everybody, and because of cultural normalization of how bread should look. i'm personally not scared of any bitterness or textural difference that could occur from darkening or charring of parts of bread. i'd be too busy eating fucking comfort food and even enjoying the charred bits to criticize a grilled cheese. it depends on the bread of course but the bread he used doesn't look like supermarket white bread so it should taste fine.

i would question why he would even make a grilled cheese if he was going to celebrate exotic cheeses from a dude around the world, that's pretty idiotic and he should have done something else.

t. my bread i baked today, if you wouldn't eat the charred ear you're a fag

i don't know, ask gordon

just because it's primarily done with gooey melting cheeses doesn't mean it has to be, even if it doesn't *look* as appetizing or the norm. it would still look melted if he shredded the cheese anyway, which he didn't do for some reason

it may look stupid to you but to me it's less retarded than say putting mac n cheese in a grilled cheese
