00:00 Today's the day.
00:01 Frank the Tank takes cooking with Frank
00:04 to a whole new level.
00:05 (Frank mumbles)
00:06 He's cooked for himself, he's cooked for his close friends.
00:09 - But he's--
00:09 (crashing)
00:10 What did I do wrong?
00:12 - Now he's gonna cook for his enemies,
00:13 aka his coworkers.
00:15 (Frank laughs)
00:16 - Surprise, hell?
00:16 - It's taken 30 minutes and I'm not cooking!
00:19 - A wise man once said, "If they want you to cook,
00:21 you might as well get the groceries."
00:23 - Who said that?
00:23 Is that a real, is that a saying?
00:25 (dramatic music)
00:28 (upbeat music)
00:30 - We're about to do some shopping.
00:40 We're gonna cook for the entire office, Frank.
00:41 Let's read off the list.
00:43 - Well, we got chicken tenders, buttermilk,
00:46 cayenne pepper, accent, salt, pepper, butter,
00:49 paprika, flour, baking powder, panko breadcrumbs,
00:52 celery seeds, sugar, cabbage, or coleslaw mix,
00:55 carrots, mayo, vinegar, elbow macaroni, milk, butter,
01:00 shredded cheese, and we're gonna get some Ziploc bags.
01:06 - Ziploc bags, that's 21 items for the perfect meal.
01:11 Let's cook.
01:12 - All right, I don't see the coleslaw mix,
01:15 so we might have to make that ourselves with the cabbage.
01:17 (upbeat music)
01:20 Bowls, or what?
01:22 - A side.
01:25 - Will two packs be enough for everyone?
01:27 - Should I get three?
01:28 - Yeah.
01:29 There's gotta be another cheese section.
01:31 This has gotta be artisanal cheese all over.
01:32 - Yeah.
01:33 - I need some accent.
01:35 - Accent?
01:37 - Accent, key to any meal.
01:39 - We're gonna do a little cayenne.
01:40 What's cayenne?
01:41 - You said paprika?
01:42 - Paprika.
01:43 - Smoked Spanish paprika?
01:44 - Let's see, hold on.
01:45 - How about another accent?
01:47 (upbeat music)
01:53 - That'll be one enough.
01:54 - Okay.
01:55 - Oh, sweet Hungarian paprika.
01:56 - It's always good to get a little garlic powder.
01:58 - Yep, yep, yep.
01:59 - Cayenne, here we go.
02:02 - Soda, baking powder.
02:04 That's our whole budget right there.
02:05 That's 250 on spices.
02:07 This could be bad.
02:08 Where's all the tenders?
02:11 - Look at this.
02:12 - Are we gonna have to cut this meat?
02:15 - No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:16 - We can't do that.
02:18 - The hell are we gonna do?
02:19 - Cut the meat.
02:20 - No, we can't cut this meat.
02:22 - Yeah.
02:23 - You wanna cut the meat?
02:25 Okay, we'll cut the meat.
02:26 Hopefully 250.
02:29 - All right, let's find out.
02:32 - Oh, on the longest line.
02:37 Oh, on the longest.
02:42 - All right, let's start at the bottom.
02:44 - Have they.
02:45 - Damn it.
02:51 - On, I've done 50 cents.
02:54 - No way.
02:55 - No way.
02:56 - On, I've done 50 cents.
02:58 Savings, on, I've done 50 cents.
03:01 (laughing)
03:03 - Did you hear what he said?
03:06 Savings.
03:07 Now do we have to repeat?
03:10 - Finish it, pay.
03:11 - All on budget!
03:14 Right on budget!
03:16 Right on, right on, right on!

03:53 Well, this is a treat for everyone.
03:57 I'm cooking for the office and I'm live on TikTok.
03:59 You'll see a video coming out very soon.
04:03 - What are we making?
04:04 - We are making chicken tenders.
04:05 We are making macaroni and cheese
04:08 and we are making coleslaw.
04:10 - So what's our first step, Frank?
04:12 - We gotta cut the chicken.
04:14 - All right, should I go collect some cutters?
04:15 - So let's collect some cutters.
04:17 All right, we got Gia, we got Clemmer
04:18 to help you cut the meat.
04:20 - All right.
04:21 - Frank, I washed my hands like 15 minutes ago.
04:22 Do I need to wash them again?
04:24 - That's up to you.
04:25 (laughing)
04:27 - I like the way you're working.
04:29 - When they're all cut up, we're gonna put them in a package
04:31 and then we're gonna have to put them
04:31 into Ziploc bags with buttermilk.
04:33 Frank, can I get your eyes on this?
04:35 - Oh, that's good, Clemmer.
04:37 You just--
04:37 - I was a brag, I was a brag, Clemmer.
04:39 - I think you mean chef.
04:40 - Sorry, chef.
04:41 We're done with the trimming.
04:42 We have to put the chicken into the buttermilk for,
04:45 it says 30 minutes,
04:46 but I like putting it in for 60 minutes just to--
04:48 - Get a little more tender.
04:50 - Yeah.
04:50 - Yeah, chef.
04:51 So should we, is that gonna happen in the big bowl
04:54 or is that big bowl for the coleslaw?
04:56 - The big bowl's for the coleslaw.
04:57 - There's two big bowls it looks like, chef.
04:59 - I hate these chunks.
05:01 Chef, is this too skinny?
05:03 - Nope.
05:03 - Perfect.
05:05 All right, so if you have a cutting board full right now,
05:07 we could start bagging some of the tenders.
05:09 Is that all right, chef?
05:10 - Yes, that sounds good.
05:11 - So buttermilk, marinade, and then we come,
05:12 we're gonna dredge it in panko?
05:14 - Panko and a couple other spices, yes.
05:16 - Nice, fancy pass.
05:18 - I can help some of that.
05:18 - You tell me how much.
05:19 - The whole bag, the whole thing.
05:20 - The whole thing?
05:21 - Yes.
05:22 - All right.
05:23 - It's okay.
05:24 - Okay, okay, okay.
05:25 - Oh God.
05:27 - Mm.
05:31 - For the coleslaw, we have two heads of lettuce
05:33 and two jars of mayonnaise.
05:35 You think the proportions are right on that?
05:37 - I think so.
05:38 - All right.
05:39 - Anyone who wants to eat in the office,
05:41 they're having food.
05:42 (upbeat music)
05:44 - Hey.
05:50 - Yes, we got the mayonnaise.
05:53 - Dump?
05:54 - Yes, whole thing.
05:56 - You want whole thing?
05:57 - Yeah.
05:58 - Chef said whole thing.
05:58 - The whole thing, we might need more.
05:59 - Maybe you don't need to scrape the sides, probably.
06:01 - But Chef Frank, you're gonna have to taste this,
06:03 just to make sure.
06:04 - No.
06:05 - You said it's to taste.
06:06 You can't say that it's to taste
06:07 unless you're actually tasting it.
06:08 - I cannot stand mayonnaise, I can't eat mayonnaise.
06:10 - It's for the people, it's for the video, Frank.
06:14 You're gonna have to.
06:15 - I don't like coleslaw.
06:16 - No one does, Frank.
06:17 We're not cooking it 'cause we like it.
06:18 We're cooking it for the colors.
06:20 Frank, we're gonna need you to taste this, Chef.
06:21 We're gonna need you to taste this.
06:23 We're not gonna be, we just need just a small taste.
06:26 We need to know what it needs.
06:28 - I will be gagging, I will be throwing up.
06:30 That's not good for me.
06:30 - We need this, Frank.
06:31 - I don't like mayonnaise.
06:33 - No one does.
06:34 - I want that lettuce.
06:35 - Frank, I'd give you this much fentanyl, it wouldn't hurt.
06:37 (laughing)
06:39 - Mayonnaise is food repellent.
06:41 - Frank, just a small taste.
06:43 - Just a, just a--
06:43 - You have to, you have to.
06:46 It's your, come on.
06:48 (laughing)
06:51 - Really?
06:52 - What do you think?
06:54 - Awful.
06:56 (laughing)
06:58 I, and I hate vinegar too.
07:00 - Cleanse that palate.
07:02 - There it is, there it is.
07:06 It just got to the point of acidity that you need.
07:08 - Label it and mix, label and mix.
07:10 - Label and mix, how about we definitely do like two or three
07:12 and do the mix?
07:13 - I found a reactometer.
07:15 - John's right here.
07:16 - Mixing up the coleslaw, mixing up the coleslaw.
07:20 - Mixing up the coleslaw.
07:21 - I hope everyone likes it, 'cause I know I won't.
07:25 (laughing)
07:26 - This carrot's really wet.
07:27 - It's incredible.
07:35 It's really nice.
07:37 It's really, really nice.
07:38 - That was one in my life.
07:39 I didn't use a single measurement.
07:41 - That's extraordinary, that's extraordinary.
07:44 - I think we need to, I think what we need to do right now
07:46 is we need to talk through the mac and cheese
07:48 and we need to talk through the breading process.
07:53 I think that we, getting started on the mac and cheese
07:55 is almost paramount.
07:57 - We got catalini and we got elbows.
07:58 - And some nice burrita.
08:00 - So I say we put the elbows in the big pot
08:03 and we mix the catalini and the rotini
08:06 in the other pot.
08:08 - Yes, chef.
08:09 - You have to melt the cheese first
08:10 and then mix it onto the pot.
08:11 - Understood, chef.
08:12 - Yeah, you have a little bit of food on your cheek,
08:13 may I wipe it off, chef?
08:15 Thank you, chef.
08:16 - Bowl full of breading.
08:32 - Bowl full of breading.
08:34 - Bowl full of breading.
08:36 - Bowl full of breading.
08:37 - MSG right in, to help you.
08:39 Frank, I'm gonna mirror what you're doing on this one,
08:41 is that okay?
08:42 - That sounds good to me.
08:43 - Same way that we gave like a good three second shake
08:45 on the MSG.
08:45 - Okay, perfect, beautiful.
08:48 - Gotcha.
08:52 - This pot is boiling enough,
08:53 we could actually probably put the, oh, is it?
08:56 Oh, wait another second, wait till that surface breaks.
09:00 - Can it roll in the bowl?
09:01 - Maybe, what do you think, Larch?
09:03 - I think you're right, Frank, that's perfect.
09:05 - Everyone has no fucking idea what you're talking about.
09:07 - I agree.
09:07 - So we're gonna pour the elbow macaroni.
09:10 - All right, two in one, two tops.
09:17 - First three bags.
09:18 - These bags are cold and flat.
09:21 - Perfect bag of buttermilk chicken.
09:24 - Listen to it.
09:25 (pops)
09:25 - Oh, God.
09:26 - You gotta sidetrack.
09:28 - All right, let's turn on the air fryer.
09:29 - That's perfectly al dente.
09:31 - Butter has been melted.
09:32 - Elbow noodles by G.
09:33 - Oh, perfectly buttered.
09:34 (fire roars)
09:36 - That sounds viral.
09:37 - Hell no, I mean, hell no.
09:41 - That can't be good.
09:42 - Frank, get down.
09:43 - That doesn't sound great.
09:45 - What is that?
09:46 - I have no clue.
09:47 (laughs)
09:50 - So what, did you put in oil?
09:52 - It didn't dry.
09:53 - You said it had to.
09:55 - Let's cut it through,
09:57 we'll feed it in the cubes and we'll fold it in.
09:59 (upbeat music)
10:03 - Frank, yeah, is this, is this,
10:05 do you like it?
10:06 - We're ready.
10:07 - That looks good.
10:09 (upbeat music)
10:12 - It looks so disgusting.
10:25 - It's good, it's good.
10:27 (upbeat music)
10:30 (coughs)
10:32 - You need to add more cheese?
10:43 - I think you gotta let it heat up first.
10:44 - Yeah.
10:45 (upbeat music)
10:47 - Frank, you wanna take a look at the cheese sauce?
10:59 ♪ The cheese sauce ♪
11:00 - Look at this consistency right now,
11:02 we're getting no clumps.
11:04 - I like.
11:05 - Should we turn it down a little bit
11:06 and get a little slow and low action?
11:07 - Yes, a little slow action.
11:08 - Just slide it around,
11:09 get it in the air shower. - Slow and low,
11:10 that is the tempo.
11:11 - It looks good.
11:12 (chewing)
11:14 - Wow, that's good.
11:19 - Really?
11:20 - That's good.
11:20 - That's a good pie, man.
11:21 - We just need to see it.
11:22 - You keep doing crazy, I want it all for free.
11:24 I want it air fried, goddammit.
11:27 - If there's any more cheese, but for now, I don't know.
11:30 - This thing just doesn't wanna get off preheat.
11:32 - I mean, I don't know if you ever see it in the bag.
11:34 - Pre, there it is, preheat again.
11:36 - It's all better, it's definitely the same thing.
11:37 - This thing, this damn air fryer doesn't fucking work.
11:40 It keeps going to preheat and not cooking.
11:42 - It's ridiculous.
11:43 (upbeat music)
11:45 - But my ice cheese is dry.
11:47 - Uh oh.
11:48 - Machine, it's just weird, that doesn't wanna work.
11:52 We got air fried.
11:53 - My air fryer's doing the job.
11:56 - Start, preheat, preheat, doesn't get off preheat.
11:59 Maybe just leave it like that for a little while.
12:01 I know we did, but maybe just do it again.
12:03 Maybe just part of the process, I don't know.
12:05 It's all we can do.
12:06 - We get exclusive questions with Frank B.
12:09 - Ooh, ooh, ooh.
12:10 - Get a spoon, Frank, we might be there with the cheese sauce.
12:16 - Yep.
12:20 - Yes, yes, all right.
12:21 (cheering)
12:23 - The cheese is there.
12:24 - That's the one we needed.
12:25 - Yeah, we needed that.
12:26 - What do you think, Mark, half of it, or is it a ladle?
12:28 Is it a pour-over ladle?
12:29 - Pour-over ladle thing?
12:30 - Fair enough.
12:31 - All right, yeah, yeah.
12:32 - I'm gonna hold you ladle.
12:33 - You ready? - Yeah.
12:33 (dramatic music)
12:36 - Look at this shit, it's still 20 minutes not cooking
12:48 at all.
12:49 I mean, this air fryer is a literal piece of shit.
12:54 I got it from Amazon and it just, it does not work.
12:59 We had three air fryer baskets,
13:00 we're down to one air fryer basket.
13:02 Shit looks bad, we might have to start fry-frying it.
13:05 - That looks good.
13:07 - Cut it?
13:11 Knife?
13:13 - Sure.
13:14 - Dude, I think we got a problem.
13:15 I just bit into this.
13:16 - Uh-oh, it's raw as hell.
13:18 - I don't know.
13:21 - Don't chew it, don't chew it.
13:22 - Careful. - Don't eat it, don't eat it.
13:22 - Careful.
13:23 - I'm talking inside, don't you care?
13:26 - Don't you, don't swallow it.
13:27 - The ones that are, the one I had was good,
13:30 but it was near the end.
13:31 - It's, it's taking time and it's not cooking.
13:34 - Why is there no consistent cooking?
13:37 I cooked everything I was supposed to do.
13:39 - All right, we're gonna start pan-frying them.
13:41 That's fine, we can pan-fry these,
13:42 we have the oil going.
13:44 - I wonder when we get sick.
13:45 - We're not throwing out chicken,
13:46 we have a finite amount, we have to feed the entire office.
13:48 - Well, not this, but I'm thinking the cooking.
13:49 - Well, we could double cook it then.
13:50 - No, I don't, I don't.
13:51 - We could cook that shit again.
13:52 - No, we're gonna double-stand it.
13:53 - Just throw it right back in, you throw it back in.
13:55 You cook them more.
13:55 (upbeat music)
13:58 - We're making the best lemonade we've got.
14:05 - We're pretty good, we're making lemonade.
14:06 - Oh yeah.
14:07 Mac and cheese is good and that's all that matters.
14:09 - We're gonna need food, we're gonna need food.
14:11 - We're gonna have food in like, probably like five,
14:13 10 minutes, or like five, six, four, five.
14:16 - It's been like 20 years since Dan's been cooking again.
14:19 - I mean, we could've used more air.
14:20 - Yeah, we could've used the air,
14:21 but it's still broken.
14:22 - Come on, Tank.
14:23 People are pissed, people are giving us shit.
14:26 - What, why?
14:27 - Freaking Ken Jack just gave us shit.
14:29 - What did Ken Jack say?
14:30 - He came in saying that we needed,
14:32 he said it's taken long enough.
14:34 He's saying we should've brought another air fryer.
14:37 Tech guy Andrew said that he's not even hungry anymore.
14:39 People are giving us shit.
14:40 We've been slaving all day over this fucking meat.
14:43 - I purchased the air fryer with my own money.
14:45 I didn't even ask for any air fryer.
14:47 - It wasn't even an air fryer fund or something,
14:49 and we're getting fucking yelled at.
14:51 Everybody's pissed off at us.
14:52 - I hate this for you, Tank.
14:54 You do not deserve this hate from these people.
14:56 - I wish I had a dinner bell.
15:01 Come and get it!
15:04 Come and get it!
15:05 Come and get it!
15:08 If I had a bell, we'd be better.
15:11 (clapping)
15:13 Come and get it!
15:18 Come and get it!
15:19 Come and get it!
15:25 Come and get it!
15:28 The damn air fryer broke.
15:33 We're finally ready.
15:34 Come and get it!
15:36 You know what time it is?
15:37 - You're gonna cut in time.
15:38 - Time to plate the meal.
15:41 Time to plate the meal.
15:48 Time to plate the meal.
15:51 - Okay.
15:57 - Is there a difference in this?
15:58 - No.
15:59 - Good stuff.
16:01 It's good stuff.
16:02 I was told the mac and cheese was been out for a little bit,
16:05 so we won't deduct from that, but this is very good.
16:08 So the chicken, actually very good.
16:10 - Right, good.
16:11 - Delicious breading, mac and cheese is perfect,
16:13 all piped on top.
16:14 Thank you, Frank.
16:17 - Yes.
16:18 - And now you cut me?
16:19 - I don't know what this is.
16:21 - Look at that knife.
16:25 - It's pretty good, man.
16:27 Pretty good, I feel like I'm being dosed or something.
16:30 Pretty good.
16:31 - It's better than I expected, to be honest.
16:34 You can taste the love.
16:35 - That's very good.
16:38 Wow.
16:39 - Really, really good.
16:44 4.6 balls.
16:46 - Yeah, W Tommy, let's go.
16:48 - Yeah, I really like the breading on that chicken.
16:50 This is awesome.
16:51 And then there's a little bit of kick in the mac and cheese.
16:53 That's what you need.
16:54 - Could have been a disaster, but it came out well enough.
16:57 - Well enough.
16:58 - If only the damn air fryer worked.
17:03 I'm gonna do this, I think we can do this again.
17:05 If we do any air fryer, then I gotta buy a better air fryer.
17:08 Joe Yami, I mean, that's the danger of overback air fryers.
17:11 (whooshing)
17:13 (dramatic music)
