Obviously I said spidey on purpose, I'm a professional, I would never include a mistake like that in a final product.
😬
No cumin?
I wish you'd emphasized more how important it is to not let the peppers smoke…
I used to put mayo in my chili
5:52 is when the vegetarian chili starts
Why rehydrate the chilis in water? Wouldn’t beef stock or chicken stock add even more flavor?
I think this video is sponsored by bounty
As soon as I saw bounty I knew it was gonna be a bumpy ride 😭
He really got an advertisement by bounty
Am I the Only one that just puts 1/16 of a carolinar Reaper and is done with the chilli part? It enugh and quite nice low heat with so little material.
Tbh I am not eating this thing again so thats the only way to use the jar up.
wow. Ads for Kitchenpaper.
I came specifically to tell Procter and Gamble that I only buy Bounty Paper Towels because of Andrew Rea and his cohorts. Please send a closet full of paper towels to Babish’s studio please.
5:45: Vegetarian
The quilted, quicker picker upperrr..Babish ✨
Isn't blacking the peppers like that over the fire make them carcinogenic? 7:56
Ah I miss classic Babish used to be such a youtube staple, now all these recipes are behind a paywall
"spidey"
Interesting RE the Texas chili. I added a little cinnamon to a batch once and did NOT like the result. I'll skip that … but the method to incorporate dried chilis looks great. I'll try that next time around.
Whatever Bounty paid you for this video, it wasn't enough.
Any chili without meat in any capacity should be considered a crime against humanity. It's just a dipping sauce at that point.
This vid is 4 years old but it still got me. OK Babish, I'll have some chili today.
Its a mexican Gulaš
cinnamon instead of cumin??
Making chili for the first time tonight ❤❤❤
i wasn't paying attention at 3:04 and i choked on my water when i saw him putting the cooked meat on the raw meat
This video didn't live up to the Basics part of the title.
NEVER REMOVE PEPPER SEEDS
The vegetarian chili looks almost like a Moroccan dish
The only thing I would change in the Carnivorous chili is trade out the cinnamon and all spice for cumin. Instead of an autumnal pumpkin spice vibe, you get more of a Tex-Mex flavor.
There is no such thing as vegetarian chili
