00:00
Yo Bruce, what's for lunch?
00:02
Little sausages, gravy, hash browns, egg casserole, baby, my favorite.
00:07
All right, sounds good. A little brunch for lunch. Let's get cooking.
00:16
Guys, welcome back to What's For Lunch. Bruce Arians, welcome to the kitchen.
00:20
First coach ever, so that's exciting.
00:22
I'm glad to be here, baby. Cooking up one of my favorite things today.
00:25
Yeah? Is this your go-to?
00:28
Yeah, I'm a faster.
00:30
And I love breakfast food, so it's really hard for me to give up breakfast.
00:33
So it's like, lunch is brunch is like the perfect time.
00:36
Yeah, my favorite too, growing up as a kid, breakfast was always my favorite,
00:40
and that's how I learned how to cook, was all breakfast stuff.
00:42
So it's got a special place for me, and this will be a good one.
00:45
Now, do you go by Coach still, or do you go Bruce Works, or what?
00:50
Coach.
00:51
It's like a doctor. Once you get the title, you know.
00:53
Coach, B-A, Bruce.
00:55
Okay, all right.
00:55
I'll do both.
00:56
All right, I like Coach, because I still call all my high school
00:59
and my college coaches are still Coach, no matter how old I get.
01:02
So I like that.
01:03
All right, so what we're going to do,
01:04
well, you have some breakfast sausage here that I just got a little head start on.
01:07
I'm going to get this back on the heat.
01:09
And then to make hash browns, do you like to cook at all?
01:11
Are you a cook yourself?
01:12
A little bit, not as good as I used to be.
01:15
Okay, you've lost the touch?
01:16
I have. I used to make some good hollandaise and other things.
01:20
I haven't tried it in a long time.
01:23
Hollandaise is one, that's a tough one.
01:25
That's an advanced sauce right there.
01:26
I didn't expect that.
01:28
How often were you cooking?
01:30
Back in the day, I used to cook a lot, especially summertime.
01:34
I'm a grill guy.
01:35
But I mean, when I had, I love to cook fish on a grill, which is unusual.
01:39
I had this great white Tabasco sauce that used to be legit.
01:43
People, they simply loved it.
01:45
You a spice guy?
01:46
Yes.
01:47
Okay, so then we're going to add some spice to this.
01:49
Now, we're going to let this get back on the heat.
01:52
To get the perfect hash brown, we're shredding the potato ourself.
01:55
I got some already going here, but I'm going to show you the step.
01:58
Whenever you're doing it, just get a potato.
01:59
I like to leave the skins on, get a little bit more crisp of that.
02:02
And you want to shred it into a bowl of cold water.
02:05
And what this is going to do, if we just shredded this without the water,
02:08
it'd turn brown fast, start to oxidize.
02:10
And you also need the starch to soak out.
02:12
So you get the crispiest hash brown, the crispiest potato.
02:15
You got to let that, you'll see the water starts to turn milky white.
02:17
That's all the starch coming out of the potato.
02:19
Same with french fries, you want to get it crispy.
02:21
You got to let the potato soak and just kind of get that starch in.
02:26
So that's the first process of this.
02:27
When you give a speech, I've always wondered,
02:29
are those pre-prepared, a pre-game speech, or is that all just on the fly?
02:33
For me, mostly on the fly.
02:34
Really?
02:35
Yeah, I never did well preparing stuff.
02:37
I'd lose my spot and forget it and stammer.
02:40
So it's like, whatever came in my head, I'd fire it out and start babbling.
02:46
Did you ever walk away from speech going, I crushed that one?
02:49
A couple of times, yeah.
02:50
They were short too.
02:52
Just get real fired up.
02:54
I like that.
02:54
Dude, it's crazy how a coach can just, they come in there,
02:58
you don't know what you're expecting, and you just fire the whole team up.
03:01
It's got to be fun to have that kind of, that kind of, bring that kind of energy.
03:04
Do you have a favorite speech of movie coaches?
03:07
Yeah, I've got to go back to Newt Rockne.
03:08
You know, that saved the Gifford and the whole thing.
03:10
And I'm old enough to know what that meant.
03:13
I was going to say, you know what, that went over my head.
03:14
I was going to nod and pretend like I knew what that was.
03:17
That one, that one went past me.
03:19
I got to go, I'm biased because I'm a hockey player.
03:22
So Herb Brooks, that miracle speech.
03:24
That is legit.
03:25
That's what, that's one of the best.
03:27
Okay, so our sausages are heating up.
03:29
Now, how do you want your eggs cooked for this?
03:31
For me, I like them scrambled.
03:33
Scrambled?
03:33
With a little cheese.
03:35
And the cheese on the hash browns or cheese in the eggs, either one.
03:38
Either one, okay.
03:38
So I saw you, I usually got hash browns that were in the bowl.
03:41
You want it right like that.
03:42
So hash brown, cheese.
03:44
We'll do cheese in the eggs.
03:45
We'll do a little, we'll do a little bit.
03:46
We'll mix it both.
03:47
Can never have too much cheese.
03:48
Yeah, exactly.
03:49
Do you mind, you want to crack these eggs for me?
03:51
You got it, baby.
03:51
I'll have you do that.
03:53
And then we'll get started.
03:54
There we go.
03:59
So we have our, our sausage is fully cooked.
04:00
And now we have some of that fat that's come off there.
04:02
I'm going to put a little bit more butter in there just to get the best, uh, you know,
04:06
you can never, you can never have too much butter either.
04:08
Never have too much butter.
04:11
And you play football and all grown up.
04:12
Was that your, was that your main sport?
04:14
No, I was actually a better baseball player.
04:16
Played basketball, baseball, whatever's in season.
04:18
Okay.
04:19
So a multi-sport.
04:21
And then how'd you fall in love?
04:22
How'd you get into coaching?
04:23
Where was that?
04:23
Well, you know, when I was a kid, everybody I looked up to was named coach and I thought
04:27
school teachers were rich.
04:29
So I didn't know any better.
04:31
And, uh, so it was, uh, I think that I always wanted to be a coach and a teacher and a guidance
04:37
counselor.
04:37
Oh, wow.
04:38
So I started getting my masters in, in, in counseling and ended up started coaching and
04:42
bought a house, had a baby and got fired and moved.
04:45
Welcome to coaching, baby.
04:46
There's life right there.
04:47
Wow.
04:47
What's the hardest position to coach?
04:49
Is there a certain one that's harder than the others?
04:51
I think offensive line, defensive line, because you're dealing with four to five guys, you
04:56
know, and the cohesiveness has to be there to build that cohesiveness.
05:00
And, uh, you know, I think some people would say the quarterback, but, uh, when you've
05:04
got a good one, he's easy to coach.
05:06
Sure.
05:06
Sure.
05:07
They coach themselves sometimes.
05:08
Right.
05:08
Well, I was, I was thinking, I mean, with a football team, there's so many guys and then
05:11
so many different personalities.
05:13
You have to kind of tailor it.
05:14
Like, yeah, especially now people learn differently.
05:17
Now, uh, the kids today learn totally different than they did 15 years ago.
05:21
So it's finding that hotspot, how to, how to get them taught.
05:24
And really coaching is nothing but glorified school teachers.
05:27
We'll just give our tests in front of millions of people.
05:29
Sure.
05:29
And if they fail, you get fired.
05:30
Sure.
05:31
But I feel like coaches, you know, some of them strike the fear of God into you.
05:35
Some of them are, you know, the nicer you in, but some of them are like militant.
05:38
I, uh, where'd you fall on that?
05:40
I was one of those guys that coach Bryant, who worked for his last couple of years.
05:46
His, his best advice ever was coach him hard and hug him later.
05:49
Okay.
05:50
So it was like, okay, when I start calling you really ugly names.
05:55
Yep.
05:55
I'm talking about your football.
05:57
Right.
05:57
Your football sucks.
05:58
You're a hell of a guy.
05:59
Yeah.
05:59
But your football really sucks right now.
06:00
We got to fix it.
06:01
Right.
06:02
And, uh, so it was like, if I really got on a guy bad, I'd make sure I found him in the
06:07
locker room afterwards and knew it wasn't personal.
06:09
You know, that was all business.
06:11
Just trying to make you better.
06:12
Right.
06:12
And, uh, I might've called you some ugly names, but, uh, you know, they all understood and got,
06:17
got it.
06:18
Yeah.
06:18
It's to motivate you.
06:19
I mean, I feel like, you know, the, the, well, I had a coach say once, if, you know,
06:23
if I'm not yelling, it means I don't care about you.
06:24
So you'd rather have me care and yell.
06:27
Okay.
06:27
So our eggs, look at that.
06:28
That's, those are looking good.
06:29
I kind of, that's where I like them.
06:30
And I take them off the heat right here.
06:32
Cause that residual heat is going to keep cooking sausage gravy.
06:35
All we did was while we were talking, added some flour to this, to that, that grease and
06:38
then some whole milk.
06:40
And now that's going to start to thicken up.
06:41
I'm going to go a touch more milk.
06:42
Now you said you like spice.
06:44
Do you want a little paprika, a little cayenne pepper in this?
06:45
Do you want a little paprika?
06:46
For sure.
06:47
Paprika.
06:47
Yeah.
06:47
So we're going with a little paprika.
06:51
You sandwich guy?
06:52
Are you?
06:52
Oh yeah.
06:53
What's all right.
06:54
I mean, this is a tough question.
06:55
If you had to do one sandwich, that's all you get the rest of your life.
06:57
The perfect sandwich.
06:58
What do you, what are you picking?
06:59
What are you sticking with?
07:00
Oh, a great burger.
07:01
Great burger.
07:02
Great burger.
07:03
And uh.
07:04
You like a thick patty or like a smash down?
07:06
I'm a thick guy.
07:07
Thick guy?
07:08
Yeah.
07:09
Perfect.
07:10
Have you fold that in there and then we're going to add some little salt and pepper to that.
07:14
Yeah, that'll start to move.
07:15
Perfect.
07:16
All right.
07:17
Well, without further ado, we have our eggs ready.
07:19
We have our sausage gravy here with the paprika.
07:21
And then we have our, I like my hash browns crisp, but we're nice and well done and crispy.
07:25
So like to get that, we skipped this stage, but I'll show you right here.
07:28
We have our hash browns done.
07:30
But once they've been soaking, see how that water is kind of brown now?
07:32
Great.
07:32
Yeah.
07:32
So all that starch came out and then you want to take it and you got to really just, you
07:36
wring it out.
07:37
So you put it in a clean tea towel like this and you go and you squeeze all that starch
07:44
out.
07:44
And then that's how you're going to get the crispiest, crispiest hash brown.
07:48
And this goes on the flat top, or you can use it in a pan just like that with a little
07:53
bit of salt, a little bit of pepper.
07:54
And I try not to make a mess, but I tend to do that every time.
07:57
You and me both.
07:58
Yeah.
07:58
And then, you know, that's half of cooking is you got to make a little bit of a mess.
08:01
We're going to do one more piece of cheese.
08:02
It's right on that, this hash brown.
08:04
Yes, indeed.
08:06
Now a little trick.
08:07
If you ever want cheese to melt fast too, take a bowl, a little splash of water that's
08:12
steamed for burgers too.
08:15
All right.
08:18
You got the melted cheese.
08:25
Hash browns go down.
08:27
You go eggs and then gravy?
08:28
Eggs and gravy.
08:29
Yes, indeed.
08:31
A little fresh pepper on that.
08:36
And then top it off with that homemade sausage gravy right there.
08:47
Coach, and there you go.
08:49
You have your cheesy hash browns, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs.
08:52
I enjoy a Pepsi with my meal.
08:53
Every crave-worthy bite tastes better than Pepsi.
08:56
I have the Pepsi Zero Sugar here.
08:57
But Coach, dig in.
08:58
That's all you.
08:59
Got it, baby.
09:01
Perfect.
09:05
Boom.
09:06
It might be the best gravy ever.
09:07
Best gravy ever.
09:08
You hear that?
09:08
I'm saving that.
09:09
Keep clip of that.
09:10
Save that.
09:11
There you go, Coach.
09:12
That's going to do it.
09:12
You have your cheesy hash browns, sausage gravy, and scrambled eggs.
09:16
Guys, that's going to do it for this episode of What's For Lunch.
09:18
Bruce Arians.
09:19
Coach, thanks for being here.
09:20
Thanks, brother.
09:20
Appreciate you.
09:21
See you guys next time.
