World market chili crisp is delicious
Sambal is sick.
I put that Japanese S&B Chili Oil with Crunchy Garlic on almost everything.
Huy Fong Foods has a bunch of registered trademarks. They haven't tried to register a trademark for their most common product names like Sriracha or Sambal Oelek, but they have some variations on it. They have 8 current trademarks registered with the USPTO, including "HUY FONG FOODS", "HUY FONG FOODS INC. SINCE 1980", two Sriracha bottle shapes, the Sambal Oelek jar shape, their rooster drawing, "TUONG OT TOI VIET-NAM", and "TUONG OT SRIRACHA".
The have a bunch of cancelled trademark registrations for "HE CALIFORNIA RED CHILI SAUCE", "THE CALIFORNIA GREEN", "TIA CHIEU SA-TE", one bottle shape, and "THE CALIFORNIA RED".
I hate that the podcasts aren't labeled in name or thumbnail, and have seemingly taken over the channel. I used to watch all of their videos, now hardly any of them. I'm a part of an alienated section of the fanbase. Least they could do is label the podcasts like they do Last Meals. On title or thumbnail.
14:40 so US law for the trademarks is basically a use it or lose it situation. They have to exert some control to demonstrate that they are enforcing their trademark or it may get put into a generic (a public domain type thing) classification. If that happens, they can't later come in a prevent Kraft or whoever from doing what they say. 15:03 so as far as the dates go, it depends on what is actually trademarked. So here its chili crunch. Lao Gan Ma doesn't, and as far as I can tell never has, call their product a "chili crunch" so that product predating it doesn't matter unless it was called that by the public. That being said, you can look at things like google trends and you will see that "chili crunch" wasn't really in the vocab, at least on the english internet until around when momofuku released their product. These products weren't really called "chili crunch". They were chili oil, chili crisp, fried chili, etc.
I would say I want my iceberg lettuce cold and romaine room temp and I wouldn't be surprised if the temperature preference was based on other vegetable and fruits in the salad varieties.
I don't remember my first taste of chili crisp oil, being an old guy, but I remember my last one…. 2 days ago. It's been a kitchen staple for me, along with sambal and sriracha, since my first taste.
Chili crisp is leftover stuff burnt onto the pans mixed with spit-oil and gutter oil.
Women: Guys should be at least 6ft tall / Guy when he says hes 6'2-women : Are you tho?????
I know networking and getting guests on the podcast and what not, but David Chang? Really? I never heard anyone say a nice thing about the guy.
What is this ((👃)) cooking channel lol
Mythbusters tested this and found 20 feet to be about the distance in which a knife wielder can close the gap with a gunslinger.
Nicole dying laughing at herself for several minutes while Josh ignores her and looking up her first suggestion is just how this pod is summed up
she asked a 6'2" guy "are you considered a tall guy?" lol
Okay, but what about Tapatio next to Chalua?
Salsa Macha is the best.
No
Before I watch the video the answer is no. Now to watch the video and make another comment after.
i don't see no sambal oelek. I know it's not a crisp, but a paste, but it's truly the most delicious.
15:26 the reason for the cease and desists is that with trademarks they are defend against all claims or defend against none of them
I use Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic Oil in my ramen and chicken noodle soup.
6 2 my ass
weird Things I like Lao gan ma on : Chef boyardee or any pasta sauce, frozen burritos, ramen, mac and cheese, any canned soup with cream in it like clam chowder, or potato soup.
Why isnt the live stream in the Information???
Podcast never changed my mind… nor tried to. 12 out of 10 chilli's
CAME HERE TO SAY SALSA MACHA 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
To me, chili crisp is something that has forever been a (probably made in-house) condiment at Sichuan restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s so surprising it took off because it always seemed to have a very non trendy, neighborhood diner quality to it.
Nothing like the habanero sambal that my chef makes 🥲
I need to try other brands, but Fly By Jing is my go-to.
Shout out to HAB hot sauce in Portland Oregon. They have a Oregon Seaweed chili crisp and a Sauce Lord Peanut chili crisp.
0 seconds in and no, Sriracha is.
And nobody asked but Chick-Fil-A is the most overrated thing in any category ever. Okay I take that back, Apple is, but same pretentious type of people. There is nothing wrong with either outside of their patrons' lack of understanding that they're not special and that no one cares about them except their family but it's less of "care" and more of a case where people are forced to put up with them because they are socially obligated to.
Sorry for being ornery, it's just been a bit of a week/month/39 years
Mushroom seasoning is msg. It's just the natural one, not lab made one haha.
LGM is the most knocked off condiment!
I can't do Greek salad because of the feta. So switching it for goat cheese. I might work, I'll have to try it. My shopping list and it didn't get picked up. I wanted some fig jam and baguette too
You have to review the new nether flame sauce for McDonald’s and try to re-create it
sweet sambal, the ones used in nasi lemak is so great with rice and sauce for chicken.
Sooo in Greek the emphasis goes to χω-ρια-τικη, so for English speakers it would be ho-ria-tiki
PS. Great pronunciation on feta though Josh!
Yes. This is very overrated.
Loving the sambal shoutout, one of the little thing that I'm glad about being born in Indonesia lol.
CRETIN salad NIMROD salad I’m crying laughing 😂😂
I JUST WANTED A PEPSI WITH MY ROOM TEMPERATURE SALAD! INSTITUTION!!!
You know I didn't really think of it until now but I think I prefer my salad room temp also. Huh. 🤔
Yes! Love me some chilli crisp on pizza❤
SAMBAL REVOLUTIONN YESSS YOU’RE SO REALLLL
Is that large men thing true? I feel like it's the exact opposite for me; dudes who look like they could easily murder me freak me out
oh man… over at 11 minutes
