[dtothelu]

Ahh, only Alton can make stereotypes work.

[dtothelu]

Ahh, only Alton can make stereotypes work.

[logiclovr]

LOL Thing kept his "eyes" on the roux!

[simpfan666]

Wow you roux freaks need to get your priorities straight

Oh he made it in the oven, big fucking deal.

[Lovelessinhell]

I bet at least a few of those black rouxes were fudge sauce xD some of them had the same look and consistency

[GAshoneybear]

I love some Nawlins gumbo. Had some at New Years and have been itching to get back to it since.

[totleariss]

pro speed reader.

[SushiMaster82]

Does this show still come on? :(

[ADoryble7]

@SushiMaster82 Yes this show is on Food Network still, usually at night around 10 o' clock, I think

[SushiMaster82]

@ADoryble7

Ah yee. I always miss it.

One of my favorite food shows.

[JBSoltis]

Regarding the Okra, if you wanted to add it, how much would you add?

[spontaneoussam2]

this stuff works hecka well! just tired it! :P

[flcn92]

Sorry folks but the oven is NOT the way to make a roux. He's leaving out one very important ingrediant to just starting a gumbo.... PATIENCE. I love AB but being from Louisiana I will disagree with him on this one.

[redemption2021]

@flcn92 this is a great way to make roux for your average below-average cook.

I've watched too many real cooks burn up a roux on the stove, I eventually made everyone use the stove.

[Shadow194]

@flcn92 Really? Because I'm pretty sure the oven is a classical way to make a roux.

[flcn92]

@Shadow194 The Dutch Oven yes, but I have never seen in all my years a cook prepare their roux in the oven. Maybe AB's on to something for below-average cooks like redemption2021 said, but baking a roux in the oven is not technically a classical way to prepare it.

[maynrdjkeenan]

spAIaiAIaiAIaiAIaiAIAIIIIICYYY­YYYYY!!!!

[jkuebler89]

@maynrdjkeenan haha i replayed that shit ton a times. reminds me of will sasso from madtv.

[awesome220]

@awesome220 13

[jagershack]

Justin Wilson was the O.G. celebrity chef. Amazing chef and raconteur.

[SamFem]

Thanks for posting this. This is one of the absolute best episodes. I love AB. He's the greatest.

[SamFem]

I really loved AB and this episode especially. Yeah - I remember Justin Wilson I used to love his show...thought I was the only one.

"I GAH-RON-TEE"

LOL

[flickeries]

Anything that crawls, swims, flies or walks. ...WALKS!?

[boblabon]

aka. Cows, pigs, sheep, deer, other game, and to an extent chicken because they don't really fly.

[goodeatingill]

@flickeries humans are delicious in gumbo

[SuperShanko]

I gotta try this recipe out, iv'e been living in the south for 3 months now and have yet to have any real gumbo

[Cressx]

The big guy is probably my favorite actor (besides AB of course)

[BellaOfBacardi]

I love how all the titles are a parody of expressions. This sounds like a spin Born on the Bayou. I heart Alton Brown!

[neongrey333]

It's not so much that a roux is hard, so much as it's one of those things that have built themselves up as being needlessly hard, if they're not something you do regularly. Pair that with the lowest common denominator trying to attempt it, and they will do dumb shit like crank it up on high and walk away -- the sort of person who needs foolproof methods to do anything in the kitchen.

[shakenblake9]

roux the day!

it never stops!

[shakenblake9]

roux-dimentary

god i love alton brown!

[sblime4u]

to get a brick roux you can also toast the flour in the oven first

[FreakPower70]

What Mr. Brown doesn't mention is that the Acadians refused to swear allegiance to either the english or french crown.

[SwampDaddy7]

That's right. We're cool like that . . . we don't do crowns.

[highpriestrsw2]

That's the bad thing about living in the north...nobody has any idea what real gumbo is. They give you some kinds weird soup and think it's gumbo but it's not! It's the one thing I really miss about the south. :(

[riskyb250]

I'm a texan by birth but I've grown up in Louisiana and I currently live in Baton Rouge. Believe me when I say that making a real roux isn't as hard as AB makes it seem.

You get the oil to medium heat first. Then you add your flour a little at a time while stirring constantly making sure it doesn't lump up. After you have used the amount of flour that gives you an almost peanut butter consistency, you cook it to desired color.

Best recipe I've found for beginners is Paul Prudhomme's recipe .

[omfgapolarbear]

Exactly. Pick a fat that you like (I like clarified butter or just plain butter), melt it, sift your flour on it, and then cook it till its the color you want, and remember the darker the more flavor but less thickening power.

[3genpai]

The video's been taken down... please put it up again?

[nogood510]

lol @ eyes

[TheJuggaler]

2:42 The stool seat is a pot. LOL

[xFireHeavenx]

Wow. Sharp eye bud.

[majooismajor]

spyyyyyiiiiiicy! woow!

[captainessklutz]

Holy crap!  Thing has eyes!!!

[fredstermaximus]

in another episode thing has an ear on his pointer finger.

[Hajdijeta]

Hahaha!!! I love Alton Brown, he's so funny! Good Eats is such an awesome show.

[Zvornikx]

I'd hate to be the crew member that had to clean all of those pans with the "black" rouxes in it.

[dsm4gsus]

true that!

[knoshy]

@Zvornikx This is television. They were probably props, not roux at all.

[undone76]

Is this CoCo Carl as Justin Wilson "I GARONTEE!"

[TIAAVENDEALANTIN]

Speaking of Justin Wilson (who was my first TV cooking show "crush...")...anyway...I found an episode of his on YouTube a while ago and he made the DARKEST roux I'd ever seen...I commented on it at the time, so when I saw AB start out this show with a Justin take-off, I had to laugh. If you've never seen a REAL dark roux or Justin Wilson, check him out here: /watch?v=eK4umRMJlrs.

[peachy6969]

LOL!! Thing's EYES!!!
