Good Eats S13E1P1 - Crustacean Nation 4: Crawfish

[MrClint39]

He definitely could have caught it just by plucking it out of the river. I used to catch 'em the same way when I was a kid.

[trivlock]

See kids mis-behave and you get a soak in craw fish infested waters....the perfect punishment.

[synicalrules]

Oh. Fat Alton. 

[f0reverdirt]

...known is these parts, simply as what? WHAT?! omfg TELL ME! stoopid plane engine

[janeyrevanescence12]

@f0reverdirt a boil

[BoredAtWork7]

You can really tell how much weight he's lost. I have to say, I prefer a rounder Alton. He's looking particularly good in the shirt from 7:30. But, I suspect that he's happier at the lower weight, which is really what's important. *sigh*

[komotoko99]

when you compare this episode with the ones late ron in the season you can tell that he has lost a lot of weight

[starian1234]

This show...it makes me so hungry

[some5672]

Aww the crawfish held the 'pearl' and was like "For you" and Alton just plucked it and threw it away. ):

[jmward32]

I like the Lightsaber sound effects...

[Ubertitanblade]

to play devil's advocate you could say that the pump is a multitasker because you can use it for all other sorts of crustaceans, lobsters, crabs, maybe even keep a fish caught live for diner as fresh as possible

[liquidtension]

Around the 7 minute mark, you can aaaaaaaaalmost see my apartment from my freshmen and sophomore year.

[Elschoppacabra]

My Crawfish came with a two pound bag of seasoning.

[tinsleyjamaal]

worst intro ever

[speedwack]

That $30 aquarium pump is a uni-tasker if I ever saw one.

[GreymarshMaster]

@speedwack not really, consider it intended use, the use in this form is another use, thus multitasking

[dawg1157]

@GreymarshMaster does oxygenating water for fish have anything to do with food? No it doesn't...therefore it's a unitasker

[GreymarshMaster]

@dawg1157 it keeps them alive, and with crawfish, that is pretty important...the fact that the task seems unimportant to you, does not change the fact that it is an additional task. Sorry, you ARE wrong...

[boblabon]

@speedwack well when you're done go to the pet shop and buy some fish for the bathroom

[BlackWolfessUSCM]

Mah daddy raised me on crayfish :D

[sabian1hhx1only]

good daddy lol.

[tsukune007]

he likes to poke fun at night gallery.

[XxShadow69xX]

lmao I love this, everytime the "holograms" at the beginning came up & went away.. they used the lightsaber activation/deactivation sound effect

[sirbarksalot195]

Number 1 - OK, I've tried Alton's idea of letting the crawdad's purge for 24 hours in a fish tank. It sounds good except for one small problem. Crawdads kill and eat each other. You put 100 crawdads in the tank in 24 hours you have less than 25.

Number 2 - After you boil crawdads, it is not much of a problem to clean the "mud line" as it's called.

Number 3 - Catching them is pretty easy at a lake, along a stone dike at night with a flash light.

[forza599]

haha thanks for the warning on the cannibal crawdads, wouldn't have thought of that.

[MonfangHowlett]

Well, he said that it's an option, I only soak to remove the sand.

[khesed]

The kiddy pool bit was just wrong and funny.

[loschain]

i just looked up the tasmanian crawfish and

DAYUMN THAT THING IS BIG!

[butsty]

lol 8:21

[crazy91111]

Lol....when me and some friends go camping at this lake in Utah....we dont take food......we just go and scoop these things up by the handfulls under the docks....and eat them.....yum.....good eats.

[khesed]

They're good eats ... but DAMN they're not worth the effort for so little meat.

[mannysanosuke]

So the crawfish missed their human counterparts so much, that they traveled thousands of miles, just so that the humans can eat them in the end. Sheesh!

[bkr1210]

haha nice job with the subliminal messaging ;)

[CoreyMunns]

No HQ?

[igray2020]

Theres no way he caught that by just plucking it out of the river!

[GoodETV]

I thought the SAME thing...But either way, good episode.

[deraifu]

@GoodETV well keep in mind they could have caught one before the shoot and placed it there.

[xenoxwolp]

Those damn thing are everywhere if you have a sufficiently clean stream, just turn a few rocks.

Though, catching them is a bit harder :D

[Sho81]

I remember growing up me and my buddies would go to a creek right by my old home and catch em by the dozens. Now unfortunately the creek has a toxic "rainbow shine" color.

[CrashGames2108]

Iridescence could be natural from the sealife or from soap, I'm guessin.

[AshleyTatton]

When we're swimming if we sneak up on them right we can just reach in and pick them up no problem. Just make sure to grab them by the back of their head so they cant claw you.

[AshleyTatton]

That one was waaay too tame though.

[airykun15]

@igray2020 you can if the river was full of them though still unlikely

[MIT1369]

@igray2020 I used to catch crawdads all the time. It's silly to not believe that the scene was staged, but it IS possible to catch them that way.

[ADoryble7]

@igray2020 Hav you ever gone crawfishing before? True the best way is to get a line and some really strong smelling bait but honestly if you see one close enough (and in some places they're very plentiful) it may just be easier and more time consuming to pluck it out of the water. I find it very believable that he grabbed it out of the water though he probably found it before he started shooting and grabbed it at the right moment.

[Tokorai]

@igray2020 Why not? I use to do it as a child all the time.

[HattoSora]

@igray2020 i believe you underestimate the man who is the alton brown :P

[TheCaptainCadillac]

@igray2020 i've caught crawfish by hand before i live in Georgia and a hour from alton so its just something guys do i guess

[mdhofstee]
