It shouldn’t be legal for one person to be so talented and humble and charming.

[Stefanu]

He's one of the only Chefs that explains his choices rather than assuming you know. Excellent job!

[TheLadyBlerd]

Ong... please tell us you'll kindly ask Chef to do a part two. Here said there are soo many salsas and I kinda only trust Chef Saul.

Some CC issues I noticed

4:53 the [Indistinct] caption is "Mise en Place."
6:32 [Speaks in foreign language] is "Molcajete, a mortar and pestle." He's describing the tools he would normally use in place of the food processor.
7:11 "Brine" should be bright, he's talking about brightening the vegetables by adding acids.
There are a couple other times, but at 7:39 the two instances of "crunch" should be crush.
11:06 [Speaks in foreign language] is Sancochar, it means to parboil/cook in Spanish.


I love this guy, a couple of little specifics can get lost in CC translation so I hope this helps anyone wondering.

I adore Chef Saúl! When I see his name or sweet face, I ALWAYS click on the video and watch it (two or three times). He is the best!

[yoshanap]

You guys need to make a playlist dedicated to chef Saul

[Mervin-Bunter]

Why tf doesn't Chef Saúl have his own TV show at this point

[ArielK]

I hope Chef Saúl can make a true way of cooking Barbicoa or a Al Pastor in his next video for Epicurious 101. That would be greatly appreciated.

[lyndseyanderson]

Honestly, I felt like this video was edited more than his previous. But he shines best when his commentary goes uncut! Let us hear everything he has to say!! I didn't hear as many Saul-isms in this episode!!

[randalthor]

I really appreciate that you don't just explain what you are doing. But you also explain your reasoning behind why you are doing each step.

[Chillm]

This guy really needs his own dedicated YouTube channel

[girlygirl]

Chef Saul!!! I wish I could come to your restaurant. You rock.

[Lalscell]

This is just the surface of the salsa iceberg. I need more videos just on salsa!

[RomantiCynic]

I love not just the recipes but the casual way Chef Saúl tosses of nuggets of valuable information!

[LitschiLimes]

Ever since trying out his Nachos recipe I know his salsas are going to be fire! Can't wait to try these!!

[andrewbunch]

I love how different those three salsas are! Thank you!

[stianaslaksen]

chef Saúl, teach me more Mexican food! I love this series.

[JustLoveKrishna]

I love this dude's sense of humor and communication skills.
His lessons are very inspiring!

[josereyna]

I always enjoy Chef Montiel’s authentic and creative instructions for cooking. All his videos are informative, even for those that have spent years in a kitchen. I look forward to more instructional videos. Please do molé, birria, nopales, gorditas, and other “comidas tipicas.
Gracias, Chef!

[wbeers]
