When Kristen found out that Chef Charles Phan happened to be in town just as she was diving into his Genius black pepper chicken recipe, she (of course) had to invite him over to cook the flavorful Vietnamese dish with her. Bonus: we learn how his restaurant, The Slanted Door, got its name. GET THE RECIPE ►►https://f52.co/2UfXWpS

What a lovely, humble chef. This was so great and peaceful to watch. Trying this recipe today.
the colors in the video are so calming
Show some footage of it cooking and the finished product next time, please
<3
That dish does look great and must be so delicious too.
Far too much talking very boring I turned it off
Totally delicious and easy, I had this at Charle's SF restaurant !
Barely showed what the finished product should look like.
We are never shown the end consistency of the sauce! I appreciate the warm personalities and the chef's story, but I came here to learn technique. There's no shot of the sauce, and no shot of the end result of the dish. What's the point?
Like the recipe. But annoyed at the sound quality. Watching this off my TV I can barely hear him over the background music however her voice is very loud in comparison
Distracting music
That's a LOT of sugar. Maybe a tablespoon of molasses would give you all the flavor, and only a fraction of the sucrose. He seems like a lovely person, but this video is a miss.
Perhaps it is because I'm living in the age of the 'rona but that guy touched his face and mouth as he was cooking way too much for my taste.
I agree the video did not show enough of the cooking process, or even the finished product. It was still a nice video overall, but this felt like a great setup with no punchline.
kristen is so soft spoken and soothing! i love these videos ❤️
Your videos are so calming and comforting❤️
a wonderful video to pull from…enjoyed their conversation and learning about his background..wow…learned a lot from just observation..never was interested in Pad Thai at home but this surely changed my thoughts…and so am about to make this dish, thanks to Kristen and Charlie Phan! thanks mucho.
This recipe looks like something I'd like to try, but the video is way too sketchy to provide even a modicum of confidence that I could make it.
Seems silly of to not link the URL he mentioned, as well. Thoroughly enjoyed this chef.
The humility of your videos is as satisfying to my soul as the food.
I lost my job due to covid and a friend of mine recommended sir Luiz and ever since trading with his platform I have been benefiting a lot.
He is an accomplished Chef, not a cook. It’s annoying when she keeps on calling him cook.
Really, there’s no info about the food being cooked.
oh man, his cookbook is on my shelf and is so worn from use. i'd be so stoked to meet him. i made his crab noodle dish the other day for the 100th time and was eating the leftovers cold out of the fridge the next morning for breakfast. so simple but so good. during my brief twitter experience i tweeted him and he wrote back and was so nice.
so jealous you have his cell phone number. can i get it? if he comes to Austin, i'll take him to some bomb places once this hot covid mess is over. :))))
such a chill and humble guy.
Only a white person would eat Kho without rice. The dish was made to accompany rice not as a solo dish. The rice balance out the saltiness / sweet of the dish. In fact many Asian dishes is made that way. The slanted door is a fantastic modern take on Vietnamese cuisine.
