Good Eats S11E13 American Slicer (1/2)

[mnyfrsh]

Teehee, Southern inside joke "Kutzu"

[SerpentLight213]

lol did that george washington have breasts?

[saeyenator]

Is it weird for me to get a boner from Claus?

[SwissCheeseInOurEyes]

1:30 'Nuff said. 

[QuickQuips]

I'm guessing the person who disliked this sliced his fingertip while using a Ginzu.

I love how in-depth Alton Brown goes in the chemistry and making of food. He truly is a scientist in the kitchen.

[ACherimoya]

Holy shit, Claus. ROFLMAO.

[silvr90210]

well my kichen scene isnt al that good i have a little steak knife that has a fairly straight edge and i cut on plastic cutting board, sharpen the knife but is stainless steal 2 meals later and it needs another sharpening, makes due though

[immarnel]

nazi lol

[andrewt248]

I'm having a hard time convincing the wife that a $130 forged german 10" chef's knife is worth it when our knife set was $90. The only knives I use out of that set are the 8" chef's and the pairing. I'm a big dude and the 8" chef's is fairly small in my hands. I did get myself a nice 24x18 maple block cutting board, though.

[pyromaster55]

@andrewt248 Shun Classic 10 inch chef's knife, I promise you won't be disappointed and neither will she. Take good care of it and have it professionally sharpened and it will last you forever.

[SimuLord]

The Klaus act is for my money the single funniest sequence in the entire run of the show. Absolutely hilarious!

[andrewt248]

@SimuLord - Right!?!? "Das boot?, zie hossenfeffer." WHOOOSHT!

[Rhapsodyss]

Klaus reminds me so much of Bruno...

[SayaBijou]

i hate it when i see a kitchen show room and they have a granite "cutting board" included. I see it and i say: EVIIILLLLL!!!!!!

:)

[xkirahatesyoux]

"concrete eastern bloc" AHAHAHAHA

[Shadow194]

Oh my god Alton, using a sushi knife for a roast? FOR SHAME! :P

He should have used his 14' Scimitar.

[Ibeatganon4fun]

Marble: EVIL!

Granite: EVIL!

Composite Counter Tops: EVIL!

Metal: EVIL!

Glass: EVIL!

actually, dark lord of the sith evil. HA HA!

[tubeviewerX20]

What about infomercial knives that are guaranteed never to go dull?

[kommisar]

They're bullshit, just like Alton said. They're infomercials. Of course they're "guaranteed" to never go dull.

By the way, if you watch carefully the TV turns off a split second before he presses the button on the remote.

[MrOblivion94]

when he starts the chef klaus wolfgar thing which is hilarious but i cant help but think that the little music in the background sounds pornographic lol

[silksarii]

UP KNIFE

[PraiseDivineMercy]

Great credit to Alton for mocking Cutco knives. They are one of the biggest scams around.

[loschain]

i think rock maple is beautiful

[enishicz28]

shuns ftw

[evanparker]

DAS BOOT!

[santoslittlehelper06]

I want to see "Good Eats" meets "Top Gear."

[darastarscream]

@santoslittlehelper06 Ever seen the V8 Blender bit?

-BJ

[santoslittlehelper06]

Yeah. I think it would have turned out better had they not put a brick in the blender.

[ap22987]

hahaha "actually, dark lord of the sith evil"

[primrosegirlclub]

Klaus would've made a perfect Bruno.

[isawaguy]

More Chef Wolfgar!

[defyingravitythruHim]

Why were those types of boards evil?

[kiminokami]

Ruins the knives, the foods, or both.

[exzyle2k]

Marble & Granite are stones, and stones will ruin the knife edge beyond repair... Composite Countertops (think Formica) are surfaces that if scratched (which will happen with a knife), it easily becomes a haven for bacteria and a source of cross-contamination.... Metal on metal not only isn't pleasant to listen to, but it'll shave small bits off and you'll get them in your food...

[exzyle2k]

Glass cutting boards are a combination of all the things wrong with marble, granite, metal, and composite. Also glass provides no traction, meaning the food can easily slip causing an injury and knife control goes out the window, also causing an injury. Hope this helps!

[PraiseDivineMercy]

@defyingravitythruHim Those surfaces will dull your knife.

[Atai9]

Das boot and concrete eastern block XD

I wish Chef Klaus was a regular :)

[kiminokami]

That was an awesome pseudomercial.

[TTTTTTrent]

Nickle.

[BellaOfBacardi]

Comparing chopping to the motion of the choo choo train was a great comparison :D

I heart AB!

[HGClark]

i have that exact same paring knife.... im prolly gonna get a thumbs down or a couple you'll only do it if your a douche nozzle

[Max300frk]

"The following materials are EVIL!!!"

EVIL!!!

XD

[bobjoemagee]

i wish he did a pan video like this

[bobjoemagee]

i think claus was alton, all dressd up.......

[Sara595]

@bobjoemagee he is, as a lot of the parody characters on this show

[bobjoemagee]

@Sara595 yeah i know, but that one almost slipped by me....

[PINKbyVictoriaS]

@bobjoemagee A lot of the characters on Good Eats are actually Mr. Brown in disguise! :)

[TimTheReaper]

@PINKbyVictoriaS true, true. 

[knoshy]

@bobjoemagee Do you suffer from sever mental retardation?

[chesirekitkat]

i think the title is supposed to be a knockoff of American chopper but it makes me think of American psycho because its about knives heheh

[JulieLynn1975]

I wish Klaus was a regular character, like Chuck, Igor or Cocoa Karl. He's silly.

[djrafaelhulme]

Cherry tree?!  It's clearly a maple.

[jnm2008]

I think I saw an acorn

[jetblack297]

Note to self: Do not keep knife set below waist-level.

[hhamor]

OMG!!

he has a collection of knives

[Zaekk]

He'll f**king knife you man.

[Bearfoot]

You act suprised. Most serious cooks do.

[PuttyKittyHoney1975]

Chef Klaus and his amazing KUTZU! It's the knife that sounds like overgrown alien ivy on steroids! Also an obvious GINSU spoof. I love it!

[orion2ktc]

Listen to his music, it sounds like cheesy porno music.

[PuttyKittyHoney1975]

Yeah! And those German Stereotypes always give me the giggles! No offense to Germans, whom are surely nice people BUT HEY, I get a kick out of dorky faux-German jokes! My sister's married to a German & he can't stand me...so I laugh at silly German stereotype jokes at his expense! Let's grab some of "Chef Klaus' Kutzu-Knife-Porno-Muzak" & pair it with gross-out German Porn! I've heard about it. It's like "Tub-Girl/Max Hardcore" awful.

[PuttyKittyHoney1975]

Actually, Alton & Co. ate some KUTZU.....ahem.....I mean Kudzu on an installment of the first "Feasting On Asphalt". Where I live, the stuff's all over the place! Forget GODZILLA! KUDZU is the big Japanese Lifeform Invasion! Fortuneately, if it isn't sprayed, it's edible! Too bad noone's taken advantage of that.

Of course, the other Japanese (or Asian) Invasion, Animanga & Better Built Vehicles I dig. Of course the latter is 'Built in America' while the American is built foreign. Go figure!

[PuttyKittyHoney1975]

"DAS BOOT" (saws a boot in half)

"EASTERN BLOCK" (as in Eastern Bloc)

"HASSENPFEPHER" (stuffed toy bunny)

"It's so thin vo gan't ewen see vit"! LOL!!!

[Eggness]

I love how he says nine. SERTY-NEIN-NEINTY-NEIN!

[PuttyKittyHoney1975]

"NEIN".....Wewwy Inteerlestink, ahnd Geroinmind(German). "Sthewty-Nein-Neinnddy-Nein"! (Add flying spittle & snot here). You should check out the "Faux-German" in the movie "The Great Dictator" with Charlie Chaplin! I peed myself laughing at Chaplin's "Hitler Speech" impersonation! What magnificent satire! Charlie was a genius!

[PuttyKittyHoney1975]

To those who are German reading this. Please don't take any of this the wrong way. You're fine. In fact, I'll bet there's a load of you making idiotic jokes about American accents. I'm just being a goofball, here! And YES, I know most of you ARE NOT NAZIS & you HATE that part of your history! So don't gripe!

[whitefire64]

i <3 klaus :-D

[whitefire64]

is it just me or does his voice change over the seasons?

[familyphotoshoot]

must be puberty

[grapesofwraith1066]

EVIL!!

Where are the little signs?

[pedicabdr1ver]

2:52 - there's a nasty chip in his blade.

considering how highly magnified that picture is the chip probably isn't all that big, but as a cutlery enthusiast it's like nails on a chalkboard to me

[PersonGuyDude1212]

Eh, I though I should post these, I am in a cooking class with alot of fancy names for cuts, here they are :)

Fine Bruinose: 1/16" cube

Brunoise: 1/8" cube

Small Dice: 1/4" cube

Medium dice: 1/2" cube

Large dice: 3/4" cube

Rough dice: 1" cube

I guess this might help someone with a fussy french recipe that calls for one of these :)

[mastatsan]

That was one of the shortest intros before the title music I can remember, and I've watched most of the series.

[kaiseryuki15]

Has anyone else noticed that NONE of his knives has his face on it, despite some of them being part of "Alton's Angles"?

[BigStupidFingers]

because alton isn't a sell out

[MignonJocelyn]

actually you can find him on the side of shun knife sets, but i wouldn't call him a sellout anyhow.

[kakapuffs]

I like the George Washington reference.

[ccrams09]

lol, "Roast Beast"

[brianandmarina]

Holy crap, that Chef Klaus bit was hilarious!

"The Kutzu slices tomato so thin, you can't even see it . . . CAN YOU?!?"

Kinda reminds me of Sprockets with Mike Myers.

[MoleSnyper]

lol only alton would be goofy enough to play a french knife salesman.

[ShadofofaMermaid]

It's a German knife salesman, actually. And I demand an apology for his terrible accent on behalf of all my fellow Germans ;)

[MoleSnyper]

oh ur right that is a bad accent haha. considering i thought it was french..

[PersonGuyDude1212]

You thought that was a french accent? o_0

[MoleSnyper]

yea.. my bad..

[PersonGuyDude1212]

Hehe np, it was a very very bad german accent. And it seemed like he randomly picked a german man to be his infomercial(ist?).

[OTEP1234567891011]

no that was him

[TheJuggaler]

"Dark Lord of the Sith evil." LOL

[MrNgMichael]

awesome knives!!!
