Transcript

If you were cooking to make someone fall in love with you, what would you make? Steak sandwich. I have made men fall in love with me over my cooking, and I am so proud about that. No proud. With steak sandwiches. A grown man I have made fall in love with me over my steak sandwich, and I actually remember looking at him with it being an inch away from his mouth. And I remember thinking, you're gonna think of me differently after that better, and it worked. What kind of bread? Did I say better? Because I fucking hate you. Thank goodness. You're not gonna fall in love with me then. Close call. Is it ciabatta? I did it two ways. So one was a ciabatta bun, and the other was, like, a really nice soft bit of sourdough that I lightly toasted. I didn't completely worst, and then I shoved the What were you shoving it? The the bread Yeah. In the pan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then you put the boursin in it, and then you No. You're now... You're guessing. I wiped the boursin on the bread. It's not like melty boursin. It's like boursin boraxan. And then I had cherry tomatoes. We've got Parmesan. We've got a bit of mayo on the other side, a bit of Sriracha on the other side. Yes. We've got fresh red onions. And it's just that. You don't do any other courses. It's just steak sandwich, ready, set, full enough. I've once run home to make steak sandwiches because I was like, I know what I need to do. Oh. Anyway, it worse. Really?
