That's pork chops, plural. Invite some friends for dinner, and one enemy.

The phrase "Tighten it up" for adding seasoning is one I'm going to steal.
I also think this is the key to why Sotherners are reputed to make good soldiers. If you regularly eat food like this a bullet is probably not something you're scared of, either because survival past 20 without suffering a coronary proves you're nigh impossible to kill or, rather like the Ḥashshāshīn, you've tasted heaven and now have no fear of death.

His BBQ tips mirror what I learned from my grandfather and uncles. I love that his only tip for gas grills is to use it to clean the grates from your wood grill/smoker.

"Horrifying" is obviously hyperbole of course. I have no objection to Cajun food - would love to try that crawfish boil - but this is a little like an unwanted look into the kitchen of the local greasy spoon. A little too real for me.

I was really hoping he was going to whip out a bottle of caramel ice cream topping on those sweet taters.

You can use a ziplock bag with the corner cut off to pipe the stuffing in. No need to buy a kitchenaid.
Here is my take on his recipe:
Pound out pork chop between to peices of parchment.
Add layer of panchetta.
Add thin layer of stove top stuffing, maybe some shaved black truffles.
Roll it up, tie it with twine if you must.
Brush the outside with some Dijon mustard and coat with cracked peppercorns.
Melt some butter in a pan, I prefer the Danish brand Lurpak. Carefully sear your pork roll in the butter making sure not to lose all your pepper corns.
Move pork roll into over to finish cooking.
Dump some brandy into the pan you browned the pork roll in, pour in some heavy cream, a little bit of Dijon mustard and a bunch more course black pepper, some minces shallots and let it reduce.
I am calling it Cajun Pork Roll Au Poivre.
I should YouTube that shit.

Replace the accent with a German one, and this is basically exactly how our teacher at high school taught us cooking. Apple strudel gets served "Straight out off da goddamn offen: throw a pile of vanilla ice cream on top, and mix up some of dat yellow stuff. Wass' called? Custard? Yeah, that yellow custard shit. You listening, boy?"

Unless you're just making things up that I will think are delicious. I really can't tell if that idea is sarcastic or not. The truffles are throwing me.

I liked "Hot Chili Dogs", where he basically used a premade chili kit because it was all already measured out... Still fun to just listen to.
That said, he put in tomatoes, and then red wine. Red wine. I almost always put some a nice amber beer in my chili, but I've never done wine. Anyone tried this?

Sure. Wine's a pretty natural match for chili, actually. The bigger, the better, imho. A fat Shiraz, for example, will cook-in amazingly well to a big, well-spiced/seasoned chili.

I love this guy.
Extra bonus points:
He calls a good result "union" and a bad result "non-union".
He uses Slap Ya Mama seasoning (I'm addicted to Slap Ya Mama).
Thanks for the links.

The Chocolate Crack recipe is good stuff, I usually use club crackers but any cracker will do (there is a related video that uses matzoh). I top it with some finely chopped almonds. Once it's set, I cut it into bite-sized pieces with a pizza cutter and save all the shrapnel for ice cream topping.

Just a bit sarcastic, I think it would be pretty good. Cept you should use cognac to deglaze the plan, not brandy.

He should toss some cocoa powder into that chili. I would also throw in some of the adobo from canned chipotle. You can also add chipotle adobo to ketchup, use it on your burger for a taste sensation!

Ketcup is one step away from being BBQ sauce.
I took an odd interest in ketchup after it was declared perfect. Like there is no way to improve it.
I made dozens of different ketchup based sauces, my goal was an "urban" BBQ sauce to counteract all the Texas and southern BBQ sauces. I made a bunch with Hennesy and Jameson's to counteract all the Jack Daniels sauces. I even tried stuff like putting pickling spices in it so i could get pickle flavored BBQ sauce.
Here is a basic recipe I scrawled down.
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
3 tbs brown sugar
1 tbs honey
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp red pepper flakes
5 drops liquid smoke
5 drops worcheshire
I have like 10 versions of this on scraps of paper.I kinda feel bad for my girlfriend at the time who I made taste all the raw ingredients and finished sauces. It took some doing to get her to taste a tsp of liquid smoke. But then again, I tasted all the food she was feeding her cat to figure out why the cat liked some and not others.

I just made sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast, and I said to my wife that the sausage worked pretty well with biscuits and gravy, in spite of the fact that it was Amish sausage.
"They make sausage out of the Amish now? Hmmm. They're pretty tasty. Leaner than they look." was her reply.
