THE ULTIMATE PARTY APPETIZERS | SAM THE COOKING GUY

They found these four guys in the water the next morning. It is awful. They don't know what happened. They think maybe someone in the dark in the cold. Maybe one of them accidentally leaned in one direction. Everyone got in and the ship pushed away whatever, it's an absolute tragedy, but romaine lettuce taught me this and while I was writing my first cookbook I thought I'd name this cocktail, I'll name it bourbon romaine lettuce in honor of my lettuce friend. romaine.so I can't drink one of these without thinking about romaine lettuce and mentally greeting it. So good, perfect for New Years, by the way, as the mini cheesesteaks will be, I think it's time to take the foil off and give them another one.

A couple of minutes, I won't say it, but here they are, wow, my mom, the cheesiness, the crispiness on the top, that's what you want, it's that texture difference that I always talk about, that let me cut one out and lift it up. Be hot, let me try to do this, I think there's some cheese going on here, max, taking the lid off the popper, okay, so let's keep going here, oh oh, let me put the kid down, try to figure out how, oh God My, look what's happening. Here I am, just look at this nonsense, oh my God, there are too many of them, look, well, how come you don't have this bite?

Holy balls, oh god I'm going in, let me tell you something that little mayonnaise steak sauce added a little bit of sweetness. to this but with all this other nonsense inside the rib eye the peppers the onions forget about the midnight ball loose this this should fall at midnight and we still have dessert oh you're going to like it it's so simple and delicious we're making weilos bread, too known as churros, also known as one of the easiest desserts you can make, there are three main ingredients, we are also going to make some caramel sauce and bourbon, but always with the phone, my phone is there, screeching, on hold eh.

I forgot where I was looking you're going to like it so this is how they start they start with puff pastry sheets I don't pimp this brand I just show you and the puff pastry sheets come like this in a bag it's January 2 separated by sheets of paper and They're frozen, so you can take them out of the freezer about half an hour and 40 minutes before you want to use them or you can wrap one of the leaves in a paper towel and let it sit for about 15 seconds until it looks soft and pliable. this step two, so now we open it like an astro book, please, it would be okay to leave it like this, look, there is flour to prevent it from sticking or you can take a rolling pin and spread it out a little, it is not mandatory, but they do swell, so there the name puff pastry, this will become like the thickness of my thumb, it will be like that, so if you don't want it too thick, spread it out a little bit and now you can do everything. kind of this includes what we're about to do, so we're just going to make little crispy puff pastry fingers, if you like this, I think this little appetizer size as a dessert, whatever I'm making, it's kind.

It's good to do it with parchment paper, we're just going to lay them on the parchment and you can lay them flat like this, they're going to be beautiful, you can take them and do this, a little bit twisted and done. write them down, whatever works for you works for me, remember this is for you and your guests, this is not for me, well these will be for me, but I think you get it, my oven is at 375 and that's it, there is no nothing simpler actually in 15. minutes they are going to be magnificent, we are going to put them in cinnamon sugar, you can eat them just like that or you can make this bourbon sauce with caramel and salt that we are going to prepare right now, a couple of things The ones we start with in our little pot we start with a quarter cup of water and a cup of sugar.

I know it looks like more than a cup of sugar, but he claims he measured it, but hey look, I did measure a little, it seemed like that much. At this point, these two things should come together: the water and the sugar until they turn a caramel color, but we're not stirring, we're swirling like this. Stirring it will make it messy, so don't do what I'm doing. I know at some point Max is going to ask me to say everything I'm saying without this noise because he doesn't like this, but this is the sound of Max

cooking

, so this is about a 10 minute process 10 12 14 15 minutes process so you can let it stop and rest a little bit and then you continue you can see it's starting to take on just a little bit of color and by the way while this is happening let me show you a quick little trick so here's a piece . of uncooked puff pastry, we'll just throw it in here.

A while ago I desperately needed a dessert and I ate ice cream, I ate nuts, I ate chocolate syrup, but I wanted something crunchy besides the nuts and I made it with a piece of puff pastry and it works, respectively, it doesn't thicken but it is a little crunchy, crunchy and after a few minutes or a little test of puff pastry it seems that they look crispy as if they were not going to go. to inflate, but it will give you something if you are absolutely screwed and it's last minute and you need to add something to a dessert in the meantime, see you in five hours when this is finished, no, don't worry, it's It'll be all right, we're about four minutes away at this maximum, you don't have to be shooting, you can wait until the color is there, use silence, just shut up now, okay, there you go, your nice pretty color is coming, eh, we had two. things are good maybe three and a half cups of heavy cream we don't want to burn so hot so hot so hot now I can turn it back on the heat is off oh my phone so this is going to thicken beautifully now it's got some bourbon in it we talked about a tablespoon and a half and we're stirring we're stirring we're stirring don't overflow please and when it doesn't overflow you're very grateful to have been living well, put it aside for a second let's get busy with our churros that are already out of the oven churros are out of the oven they need a little cinnamon sugar and it turns out like this good it shouldn't look like lumpy sugar that doesn't come out but put a little cinnamon, this mixes wonderfully and then our hot churros that look this beautiful are thrown in and they mix.

I love these guys. Now these guys are going to come out, we're going to place them beautifully on our little black board, Max's favorite black board is. t's maxie, yeah, look, here's one of the twisted ones hmm, they smell delicious, they're amazing and then the caramel, the bourbon caramel that didn't work, oh my god, it kind of worked, oh my god, but look, Come on, look, I got it right. I had a problem with this who doesn't like a little liquid caramel okay this is my best moment no it's probably not right I've never done this before someone said oh you have to do this just mix sugar and water and keep going doing the same thing in the bowl and the shit is perfect, well now that I can stay back, but let's try it, I was imagining it would be thicker, but okay, now wait, nobody move, okay, I don't know how thick .

I thought it was going to set and this doesn't look very thick, but I'm telling you with this little churro bunuelo, it's crazy. Maxine isn't getting anything, in fact Max has been negative the whole time about this, you mean Max has? been correctly predicting that this wouldn't work. No Max has been a jerk the whole time knowing in his own mind that he wasn't going to work out. It's delicious. Oh, I didn't mean to swear, but this is delicious. What's left of it, the cheesesteaks were. delicious the bright asian wings were tremendous everything makes everything just know that the caramel bourbon thing is going to take a little finesse but still so delicious oh I hear max's camera going on and off I'm working here and your camera is on and out , but look, it's a New Year's Eve show, it's the last show of 2020 for all of us, so would you like to come here and say goodbye to people?
