- Hey guys, it's Lee Kalpakis,
and we just made a tasty taco
dinner party all for just under $30.
So, stick around and see how we helped
our Australian buddy, Will, win over
his roommates and cook a delicious dinner.
Hey everybody, we're here in Ridgewood, Queens again,
and we're about to meet up with Will.
He just moved to New York City from Australia, and he's
trying to impress his roommates with a homemade dinner.
So, let's see if this dude from down under
can keep from going over our $30 budget.
So, tell me a little bit about yourself.
- Living in Australia, working back there,
I just needed a bit of a change of pace,
and I thought I'd come over here
and see what all the fuss is about.
I got a job in a demolition company actually.
- You ever make anything explode?
- Yeah, we blow stuff up all the time.
- You blow stuff up. - Yeah, I've thrown dynamite
into a building.
- I never get to blow anything up at my job.
- Oh, it's good.
It's therapeutic. - I'd really like to.
How's it been making friends?
- Oh, I heard that New Yorkers
were extremely friendly people, but...
- Really?
- Yeah, it seems my roommates haven't
quite warmed up to me for some reason.
They're always going on about the last guy that lived here:
typical good roommate, always cooking for the family.
Seems to be big shoes to fill, but...
- That why you wanna throw this dinner party?
- The last guy that lived here used
to always make tacos for the guys.
So, yeah, I think something like that.
- We could do some carnitas, you can do pork tacos.
How do you feel about that? - Beautiful.
- We can do some refried beans, a slaw to go along with it,
so it's really bright and fresh.
- OK, OK. - I feel like we'd have
to give them some booze, like a punch.
- Juice 'em up a little bit. - Right?
I think your roommates would love that.
What do you think?
- I think that'll be great. - OK.
- For sure, they'll love it.
- Cool!
- All right, welcome back to the Thrillist kitchen.
We're about to get started on our taco feast.
- That was good!
Nice job! - Thank you.
- Let's start with our carnitas, which translates
to "lil meats," which is my rapper name.
I have about 3 pounds of pork shoulder,
and I'm gonna add some kosher salt, some cumin,
and a little bit a black pepper.
Work our seasoning into the pork 'til everything is coated.
Our pork is ready for a sear.
Quarter cup of oil in the pan.
- Get that in there.
- Yeah, and our pan is super-hot.
We want everything to be nice
and golden brown on either side.
When we sear the meat, it locks
in all the flavor on the inside.
Let's go ahead and add the rest of our ingredients.
OK? - Sure.
- Let's add our two chipotle peppers.
Beautiful, and that's gonna give it
a little bit a spice and make it nice and smoky.
Half a white onion and our four garlic cloves.
Go ahead and add our water -- it's gonna
allow our pork to completely fall apart.
So, it's really nice - OK.
- And soft and tender.
- Tender town.
- Tender town, I like that. - Yeah, one way to you.
- Tender town.
Last step is go ahead and add a cup of our beer.
Stir in our liquids a little bit,
and let them hang out for about an hour or so,
and then, we're gonna check up on 'em.
OK, this is lookin' great.
It's very tender now. Let's get in there and shred.
For our cabbage slaw, we're gonna start with our dressing.
Add the lime juice to our bowl,
a tablespoon of white vinegar,
a pinch of sugar, go ahead and add the oil.
Whisk that up, I'm gonna add some salt and pepper.
We have a lot of flavors going on in our tacos,
so we wanna make sure that it has a really nice texture,
a nice bite, but the flavor's not over the top.
Let's add our cabbage, about a half cup
scallions, and a half cup cilantro.
Toss our salad until all the cabbage is nicely dressed.
Now, we're gonna start on our refried beans.
- OK.
- Pound of rinsed, dried pinto beans,
cover this with about 3 inches of water.
Half an onion, just like this, and two cloves of garlic.
Cover it, and let it hang out until it heats up.
OK, now that our beans our brought up to a simmer,
we're going to season our water with salt.
Last of our beans, into our bowl.
Let this liquid stick around for a little while,
because we're gonna use that to
loosen up the beans when we're blending,
and then we're gonna add our beans.
Add two chipotles in adobo. - Sure.
- Let's blend it up. - Sure.
You got it.
Now, we have to fry them.
I've got vegetable oil, drizzle it in.
Some onion,
garlic,
mix 'em around a little bit.
I'm gonna add some cumin, we'll add our beans.
Spread these out a little bit.
A lot of salt. - A heap of it.
- Yeah, let's do a big heap of it.
We'll give that a stir.
All right, our beans are done.
- Good stuff.
- Awesome.
Moving on to our punch, we have our beautiful punch bowl.
I have a limeade concentrate, pour this guy in.
Now, this is super concentrated, very, very, sweet.
To dilute it a little bit, because it's
so pungent right now, you're gonna add 4 cups of water.
Now, for our tequila, I'm gonna add the whole thing.
- Ah, get it in there.
- We used a cup of that beer for our carnitas,
so, right now, we have about 40 ounces of beer.
All right, woo! - Woo!
- Mix it around. - Yeah.
- We're gonna garnish it, look at that.
Look at these wheels of limes.
- That's nice.
- Is this beautiful?
All right, our punch is done. - Yeah, it is.
- All we have to do is taste it.
Ready? - All right.
- Good, it's strong.
Cheers. - Cheers.
- It's strong.
So do you think that this dinner's
gonna be up your roommates' alley?
You think this is their kinda stuff?
- I think they're gonna love it.
From the tacos to the tequila, I think it's a winner.
- I think you're gonna win 'em over.
- Cool. - You got this.
- Cheers.
Yeah, I'm very nervous.
I think Zach, my roommate, doesn't know my name actually.
I just really wanna impress these guys,
but I'm not sure yet, so, we'll see.
- Wow, oh wow!
- Is there a dinner party?
- Hey, gang!
- What's up, buddy? - Hi!
- Welcome home!
All right, cabbage.
- [Zach] Wow, red cabbage.
- [Will] Big boy!
- [Zach] It looks pretty good!
- [Will] Beans, with some onions sprinkled on top.
- Is that pork? - It is.
And, a little fun punch. - Ooh, what is that?
- [Zach] Oh, my goodness!
- [Girl] Oh, my gosh!
- Liquor in there? - Wow.
- [Will] There is, beer and tequila.
- Ooh, double whammy. - Oh, my God.
- How do I feel about Will?
Well, he's new. I don't know him very well.
I'm a little worried about this.
- I don't know.
- I'm gonna start with one. - Me too.
- Yeah, see how it turns out. - Thank you.
- [Will] All right, cheers!
- Cheers! - Wow!
- Family dinner.
- Yes! - Thank you!
- I brought a family, right?
- Hey, first of many, hopefully.
- [Will] Thoughts?
- It's good! - I don't taste beer.
I just taste, yeah. - There's beer in there.
- But, it's great.
- Dude, honestly, I was pleasantly surprised.
That was delicious.
I don't know what he Googled to make that, but...
This is incredible, I was gonna get street meat.
- It was very surprising; he has shown
he can cook this quality of taco feast.
- It was amazing, such a phenomenal dinner.
I'm shocked -- I'm seriously shocked.
- Well, I think it goes without saying
that we'll be expecting this every single day.
- Every day?
- I will require tacos every single day.
- So good, really impressed.
You know, the last roommate, cooked a hell of a taco,
but this stands up, man. I think you take it.
You really do. - It's good.
- Thank you, appreciate that! - No problem.
- I feel great, I'm relieved; it was a success, for sure.
- I'm sincerely proud of Will.
I think he won over his roommates.
I'm slightly concerned that he's
gonna have to cook for them now,
a lot more than he initially bargained for,
but that's not my problem, so, see you guys next time.
That was fun, wasn't it?
