Good Eats S1E4P2: Salad Daze

[Crunchy68]

His college dean was Dean Martin. LOL!

[FM897]

As a Caesar salad fiend, it's so nice to see the way it's classically done! Although, I would forgo authenticity as far as the croutons are concerned. It's a hassle trying to eat them with a fork. I'd rather opt for a few slices of crusty, garlicky, grilled bread on the side to eat with my hands. Sourdough sounds so good right now. And in addition to the grated parmigiano reggiano, I like it when there are just a few shavings of it as a garnish. Dammit, I'm hungry. Why do I watch this!??

[werewasyo]

caesar?? THIS IS SPARTA!!!

[busyjoe177]

Where's the food police at 09:26?!

[Mewfan]

It's 1 am, I'm tired but I still laughed harder then I've done in a long time when he said, "like bacon fat off a bicycle seat".

[aegisofhonor]

no one, and I mean NO ONE makes the classic Ceasar Salad anymore. It's simply a cheap way to use old ice burg and croutons. For once, I'd like to get a ceasar salad that's truely made right...is that too much to ask?

caesar salad- elegant, simple, delicious. my favorite! (of course, there's plenty of fat and cheese!)

[assaly123]

[imsljr420]

8:03 he drops some lettuce & the woman looks over & laughs

[kindofmagicmike]

HAHAHA, HAIL CAESER

[sweettcd]

OMG i am so jealous with that 2 guests...hehe...wish it was me there eat that salad made by AB :D

[ap22987]

early in this video alton says there's nothing worse, almost, than salad sitting in a pool of watered down dressing.

however, when he makes the Caesar, its like 12 pieces of lettuce sitting in a cup of dressing...

[CartmanUK26]

he means use dry leaves, he was talking about the moisture on the surface of the leaves not the amount of dressing!

[isawaguy]

When he's making the Caesar, we never see the empty bowl, so there actually is no visual of how much dressing is in the salad. Double check the video.

[GrenMoyo]

thats a paella pan! Another Multitasker!

[ap22987]

not if your making croutons and paella

[Zaekk]

Bacon fat off of a bicycle seat, we've all been there, haven't we?

[Lisanab]

IKR? hahahahahahahahahha I blew wine out my nose

[PaineHeaven]

i wanna eat youe salad

[DarkSoldier712]

I think the Dean Martin thing was a joke, actually...

[singincowboy]

Yeah and the punchline was that his college roomie was named Dean Martin... Which is true it's even in his book I'm here for the FOOD.

[altonbrownrox123]

omg he knew dean martin he is so lucky!

[SenFushigi]

cool lava lamp.

[alancarter9]

omg the waiter ate with the diners ,how very american

[poker720]

alan wtf did u just say that because you think brittan is better than america????

[poker720]

reply to myself:

reply to alancarter9

[YustynaK]

Well America's pretty much in control of the world...

But at least New Zealand is a clean, green country with tones of trees!!!

P.S. Alton looks so cool in a white suit.

[77Porthos77]

omg indeed! too bad they can't be taught proper manners by the patrician elite. Have you heard of corndogs? Monstrous things.

[poker720]

FU guys america is great so ummmmm well u think corn dogs are gross whats with bugs BLECH!

[77Porthos77]

who eats dogs dipped in corn anyway? ick, and fish sticks? I wasnt aware that fish had sticks on them anywhere.....

[poker720]

dude corn dog is a hot dog dipped in a batter and fish sticks is breaded fish and they are both YUMMY!

STOP FIGHTING!

[77Porthos77]

So bossy, who's fighting?

[zboishcha]

okay, i dont even remember why I posted that comment. so can we please forget this ever happened.

[zboishcha]

A corn dog is basically a sausage dipped in batter and deep fried. Fish sticks are made out of fish flakes and a few other ingredients, are breaded and cooked. and they are GOOD EATS!!!

[SasukeFreak]

but thats another show

[surfingsuicune]

Neither of those is good eats.

[FrostbittenWolf]

If you hang yourself up on customs you fail to really enjoy simplicity. Of course America and Europe are a lot alike. The actual list of dishes that we claim to have made originated someplace else. Pasta started in Asia... so did tea... and coffee started in Ethiopia. What did we do?

...

Make parodies of old popular dishes...

Though i do have to agree with you on corn dogs. Frozen prepackaged corn dogs have got to be one of Americas biggest f*ck-ups. Right next to new Coke.

[mlmpmc]

Old school Good Eats, cool to see how the show has developed.

[firesoy]

uh, dumb question but, what's the name of that green that's white/yellow at the bottom and yellow/green at the tips, and it's got very small delicate fronds and little leaves; he handles it alot in the loose-leaf mix scenes like when he's washing the greens in the sink or drying them, or when he puts down the dressed mixed salad on the chilled plate (and it's towards the bottom and right side of the screen at 4:02), anyone know what i'm talking about?

[GreenManalichi]

I believe its called Frizee

[Alrepa]

he know dean martin?

[dsm4gsus]

I don't think it was THE Dean Martin, just A Dean Martin

[Alrepa]

i just realized how wrong my comment was.. "he KNEW dean martin?"

well he makes it seem like he knew him

[swa426]

Bacon fat on a bicycle seat,too much info.

[terpanese]

[wysiwyg2006]

Alton brown is informative, very entertaining and addictive viewing

i wish we got him on tv in the UK

many many thanks for the videos LikeTheHat!

brilliant!

[libertyfalls]

yeah... too bad. I watch him at least 2 times a day 5 days a week. I have all of his products and gadgets. (salt cellars all 3 of them he used thru his career, time-o-lite timers, knives, etc.) I love this guy!!

[poker720]

liberty you got the shun knives omg i want them so bad but i cant afford them u are so lucky!
