[Jake8240]

Frying .... FAT! ha-ha too funny and yeah Alton's sister reminds me of Marcy from Married w/ Children

[Eatmyassproductions]

@Jake8240 Marcy darcy? Shes so funny. I love all the chicken jokes Al makes.

[Otulissa3]

hehe the little person he added was Maggie

[Akurokusqueel]

I have an Aunt(Not blood related, through marrige) That is EXACTRLY like Alton's sister... they even look similar...

[Sanimangas]

Marsha reminds me of Marcy from Married, With Children.

THEY HAVE THE SAME HAIR TOO!!

[rastalot]

[ThatNeilDude]

"Small fry! Son it's a joke!"

[SimuLord]

Shout out to my girlfriend, who has been known to put Good Eats clips on YouTube on her laptop while she cooks. She's making fish and chips tonight---hi, babe! Love you! :)

[VoidOnTuesday]

5:20 AB's looking for a little upskirt action from W...

[mbs306]

i made this and gluten free it was great but i had to use an extra half a beer to make it (it was more absorbant the gf flour) and i added a 1/4 tbsof tabasco to make it bite bak

[ThePatank]

HAHAHAHAH when Alton says FAT at 0:59

[gr8fzy1]

Hehehe, Ironically "Good" and "Eats" are ALSO four letter words :p

[captpan6]

Edgar Alton Poe?

[adamhunter1223]

The actress who plays marsha got busted for drugs. I lauged when I found out.

[trumbachd1]

@adamhunter1223 I thought that was part of a Joke that one cop had hired her to Punk his partner.

wasn't there a vid on youtube that showed somethong like that?

[Celestyal22]

@trumbachd1 Yeah, it was for some joke show (i don't follow those i don't know what it was called). The cops partner was new on the force and therefore the perfect target. Hehe

[youngactor6]

HEY! HIS TEACHING AIDS ARE NOT LAME. thank you.

[some5672]

i thought the passengers on the train were pokemon characters at first.

[MrGrizmint]

greezie

[primal114]

they're 3 letter words

[loschain]

he means evil

[Celestyal22]

5:20+, yes folks this is a cooking show! ;p

[crimsonroses1]

GREEZY not GREASY

[kiminokami]

They are just different accents. Both are okay.

[Korhanne]

Part 2 is missing -.-

[58XHUNTERX58]

funny marsha hates fat but shes not exactly that skinny.

[loschain]

long with most of the fatphobics in this country. also funny as how they know very little on nutrition

[gocrazed1]

maybe she just loves meat...

Though i have no idea how she gets any.

[XxOhdangd00dxX]

Does anyone else still giggle when cooking shows say Dutch Oven? :3

[flickeries]

But don't use cottonseed oil, it has high amounts of phytoestrogens much like hops. Hops btw is used in beer so it makes no sense that it's called the 'men's drink', lol.

[VulpisFoxfire]

Which is kinda odd, since the fast food place where I work switched to a corn/soy/cotton oil blend a while back.

[Beatle1107]

What about Cottonseed oil? Is that considered mono-unsaturated or poly? :)

[PhoenixMaster95]

Poly :)

[Beatle1107]

Thanks, Phoenix.

[PhoenixMaster95]

NP :)

[pibeagles]

I love Alton using the pot lid as a mirror to look for W around the corner!!! LOL

[007dude13]

what is it that he MUST warn us about???

[shadowjoe94]

a fire extinguisher

[Shawshankdude2005]

Well sure..............if you eat it for every meal and every day. Plus if its done correctly (that's not hard) frying is not bad for you.

[FrostbittenWolf]

It's not bad for you if done right.

Problem is that fast food restaurants NEVER do it right. So, to get it done right it either has to be homemade or done by a professional chef.

Though i myself honestly go for pan-frying more often. Or with fish, i use Alton's pouch cooking method.

[jeremimi]

i like early alton brown much better than the newer seasons. more cooking and explaining, less actors and showy sketches.

[silksarii]

fry in heavy dutch oven yes but in cast iron no?? arent most dutch oven made from iron?

[katetastic867]

yes, but the dutch oven is coated. iron particulates from the cast iron could get into your food, and that's not good eats!

[VonMilash]

then explain that to Alton in his Fry Hard II series, where he does southern fried chicken in a cast iron skillet. NO Better cooking surface than cast iron.

[courtnayjewell]

that's for pan frying :) not deep frying.

[VonMilash]

you missed the point completely.... and that being uncoated cast iron. the temperatures are pretty much the same. my second point was that there are no "particulates" in food as a result of using uncoated cast iron. the guy that said that has no idea what he's talking about. I think he just wanted to sound intelligent with the word "particulate."

[orion2ktc]

It's great if you've got small fry in the house. Small fry, son it's a joke!

[MahBoi3579]

I liked the mission impossible sequence in BB&B

[xkirahatesyoux]

Lol, those people on the train... Are they from 'Little People?' xD My brother plays with those.

[kgirl102689]

the reason i don't fry at home is because... well lets just say hot oil and skin don't go together... ow

[zboishcha]

ever tried deep fried butter? mmmm

[kgirl102689]

wow i had a heart attack just from reading that

[xfreak385231]

I think I got fatter from reading that LOL

[kgirl102689]

haha : )

[elephnatProductions]

son its a joke! lmao

[codybird34]

i want to make these but i've never eaten fish before, and i'm kinda nervous on wether or not to spend the cash on it and not like it you know? can anybody help me? :)

[hayama317]

You have NEVER eaten fish before?!?!

Well, for one thing, GOOD fish tastes good! And from another thing, it's good for your brain!

[codybird34]

okay, i'll try it soon then :)

[gameshowguy2000]

And it's good for your health, thanks to the Omega-3's.

[HonusToThe5]

LIAR

[Energi2DmaxX]

Never eatten Fish? where do you live?

[codybird34]

in the us it's not that i can't get it, i've just never liked it

[recchiap]

How do you know you don't like it?

[codybird34]

I've eaten soups and stuff with fish base, so maybe i just have tasted the "bad" side of it!

[nemo1620]

I used to feel the same way about fish. Most U.S. fish is spoiled when it's sold. Try buying mild fishes (cod, haddock). Also, smell the fish when you buy it. If it smells fishy, DON'T BUY IT!! It's spoiled. Fresh fish has almost no smell.

[HoboKnifeFights]

Geez I want to drop kick alton's "sister" in her stomach.

[aquaamant]

did he just throw away 1/4 of potato at 9:27?

[hayama317]

do you mean the whole ones or the sliced ones?

[D4rr3ll01]

I love it when he says, "Fat!" in the beginning. :D

[grlanime13]

i know it cracked me up when i heard him say it

[ConstructionMadness]

god, shut up woman and let alton do his job!!!!

[GreenManalichi]

She just needs a good man to please, I mean appease her ;}

[FDecoy]

Good Lord I hate Alton's sister. Even if she's just playing a character, I want to punch her in the face, hard. She reminds me of Reese witherspoon's character from the movie Election. That's not a good thing.

[Sbguitar195]

Oh my god, i know! She bugs me so much!

[Psychochaos3]

She's a parody of martha stewart.

The NEGATIVE Alton Brown.

[poker720]

i didnt write this someone hacked into my account grrr sorry if this offended you i think shes a brillant actor so so so so so so sorry!

[poker720]

reply to my hacker GRRRRRR!

[VoidOnTuesday]

@FDecoy check out the clip of her getting arrested for guns and drugs from truTV. It's pretty funny.

[ariandynas]

@FDecoy Yes it is, because that us exactly the reaction she is supposed to evoke

[VuryScury9]

alton is the man...all his recipes are good...except in this episode, he tells u not to fry in cast iron...yet he fries his chicken in cast iron in Fry Hard 2

[roger5845]

I am also confused about his comments about avoiding cast iron for frying...I thing he says, conolla oil which is a ply-unsat-oil, can cause iron oxides from the cast iron to bind in with the oil, which is unhealthy. I hope that we can get some clarification on this issue.

[TheBuck26]

Yeah, he only meant for Mono and Poly Unsaturates,

He used Shortening on Fry Hard 2, which is saturated. No empty seats on the train, nowhere for iron oxide nasties to sneak in. So, I guess it depends on the fat you use.

[deathshadow69]

When he said not to use a cast iron skillet, he was referring to using it as a deep fryer with polyunsaturated oil, because the oxides in the pan will make the oil spoil faster over time. The fried chicken show used vegetable shortening for pan-frying. It's just two different cooking methods, which require two different pans. That clear it up for ya?

[joyrock1]

In addition to the other replies, I believe it may be that in Fry Hard 2 his goal was also not to reserve the leftover oil. It may be okay to use a low-smoke-point oil vs. iron for one fry. His point may be: Don't recycle oil that comes in contact with cast iron.

[Hamlette69]

What the hells up with Marsha? she like a anti-fryalist or something...

I saw him at the fab food show @ cleveland and he was great, he made chocolate taffy,

Mmmmm, taffy.....

[TheJuggaler]

Spoken like Homer.

[iwilldestroyyou9642]

...how old is Alton,anyway? *mutters to self*of course,that doesnt apply to me,seeing as i always fall in love with anime characters...

[MoleSnyper]

ookay then, you should get a hobby?

[jlovin4772]

What is UP with you guys!!! Who cares how old you are!! You don't have to be a certain age to like Alton! You can be 78 and love him! Good luck with the debate about who loves him more though, but again, does it REALLY matter how old you are in order to like Alton?

[kurtdyoung]

True, you can be 10 or 110 and more than one person can like him lol, but it is good that 11 year olds and 15 year olds are learning cooking this early, heck, maybe Alton can solve childhood obesity!!! or maybe not...

[igiveup82]

im 15 and he is more my idol than yours, i tio all the episodes, ha, his theme is my ring tone on my house and cell phone.

[csRoster]

I'm 23 and... I like alton, but it's not all that deep..

[AlbinoBunny12345]

IM ONLY 11 AND ALTON IS SO KOOL

[jon7651]

im only 14 and alto brown is my idol lol

[RTackle79]

Alton Brown kicks ass

[setbro72]

I like avacodo oil, higest smoke point there is and a good taste. Gotta get it onliine though. Mac oil has a pretty low smoke point, you sure about that?

[floccinaucci]

I have Avo oil in my local supermarket :) but then, in the UK.

[CafeAmerican1945]

Love all these episodes! I don't have cable so I can get my AB fix here. (BTW my favorite oil: Mac nut oil...Nutrition of olive oil and a smoke point to kill for.)
