Steak, Chicken & Shrimp! Hello friends, A month or so ago I shared my easy hibachi recipe with chicken, steak, and premade rice. This time I decided to step it up. We’ve got steak, chicken, and shrimp—and I made fresh rice the night before. Now, I’ll be honest: premade rice works fine and I don’t mind using it in a pinch. But cooled, fresh rice made the night before really does turn out better in my opinion. The key here is cooking order. I started with the chicken and steak, let them rest...

Pancake and French Toast! Hello friends, When I first started making double batches of pancakes and French toast on my Blackstone, everything changed. I realized it takes the same effort to make a few as it does to make a stack big enough to freeze for the whole week. In this new video, I’ll show you: The best way to cook pancakes in bacon grease, oil, or butter (and why they look different depending on what you use). How to freeze pancakes and French toast so you’ve got easy breakfasts ready...

Full Breakfast Hello Friends, I’ve got another big breakfast cook for you on the griddle. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably seen me do a few of these—but honestly, it’s still one of my favorite things to make. I know a lot of you love doing big breakfasts too. Here are a few things that stood out this time: The scrape, spray oil, and wipe method In a recent email, I mentioned this technique I picked up from True North Café (a guy who used to do griddle videos). It’s...

Smash Burgers Hello friends, I know you’ve probably made a ton of smash burgers by now—and maybe you’ve even read a few emails from me about them—but it never hurts to refresh. Let’s be honest: smash burgers are one of the best things you can make on a griddle. For a lot of people, it’s the reason they bought a griddle in the first place. I probably make them more than anything else. It’s a simple recipe with just a few ingredients, but the little details matter. Here’s what I think is most...

Omelet and Eggs Hello Friends, A few months ago, I posted a video about making bacon and scrambled eggs on the griddle. Since then, some of you have asked about omelets and over-easy eggs—so I figured I’d expand a bit and share more about my technique. This video is a little different. I’m talking directly to the camera and slowing things down so you can really see the full process. The big takeaway? I always cook eggs last, and if you’ve followed me for a while, you know I keep the heat...

Steak and Chicken Hibachi! Hello friends, I set out to make the easiest, beginner-friendly hibachi on the griddle that I could. I kept it simple with just chicken and steak—no shrimp this time—because I didn’t want to overload it with too many proteins. I also used Uncle Ben’s pre-cooked family-size jasmine rice and minimized the seasonings and sauces. In fact, I only used two sauces and two seasonings (if you count my salt and pepper blend as one). I was pleasantly surprised by how well the...

I’ve linked all of them below on my site, but I wanted to take...

Crunchwrap!! Hello friends, Back in college, one of the only places open at 2 AM after I finished “studying” was Taco Bell. I’d usually grab four chili cheese burritos because they were a dollar and, well, I was broke. But if I was feeling frisky and had a few extra bucks, I’d go for the Cadillac of Taco Bell meals—the Crunch Wrap. Now I make them on the griddle, and they’re just a lot of fun to put together. Super easy too. All you need is some seasoned beef, tortillas, tostadas, and the...

Breakfast Burger! Hello friends, This started with some thick-cut bacon I grabbed from the butcher—and it spiraled into a fantastic breakfast burger. I don’t even know if this is breakfast, lunch, or dinner… but honestly, you can eat it whenever. Hash browns, griddled onions, a smashed burger, cheddar, and a perfectly cooked egg—all stacked on a toasted bun. It’s a solid reminder about cooking order too: bacon and potatoes go down first, burgers come later, and the egg’s always last. Simple...
