Lastly: You're in college, make friends by cooking! You can get a quality 8 quart Lodge Dutch oven for $45 online (or maybe somebody's parents have one just lying around?), that feeds atleast 8 hungry students a meal, with leftovers, so you cook, and each provides one ingredient in trade. That way, you might even get some free sides, a jug of cheap wine (Burgandy's traditional, Sangria's fruity), nicer quality ingredients, etc. And, somebody else just might do the cooking for you, next time.

I LOVE this show...but it is not very college-student friendly. :P

[honeybadger81]

@AndrewzDescent : Some of the recipes are costly (although I think less than many cooking shows), but aside from recipes, the show teaches many culinary survival skills. The trick is to take a recipe's essence, and then fit it to your budget, and what's available to you--the way a lot of great world cuisines came about, including Creole.

Dried beans, bag rice, stew pork meat are fairly cheap.

For the pickle, here's a college trick: Commercial kosher pickle juice works ok in a pinch.

[honeybadger81]

Couple more tricks: 1 bell pepper 1 onion 1 stick celery still gives you decent flavor (Beats Ramen!). Many dollar stores in the U.S. have dried oregano. Bayleaf can be pricey, look for bulk, and stores getting rid of old spices--dried bay lasts forever. Cheap, high quality spices can often be found on the International aisle. Ask your grocery if they have a whole (crushable) dried pepper/spice section. Saltpork's cheap/lasts forever. Buy the cheapest non-quick rice. Dutch ovens do everything.

[muetter]

he looks better AFTER he lost all that weight

[deraifu]

His hairstyle in this season was fine...added some character to him kinda a mad professor look. Besides it's the food that we should focus on anyway...lol

[SimuLord]

Tom Brady called, he wants his hairstyle back.

[TheShredway]

I don't think he gets the definition of "translucent".

[ChromaAurora]

If you want a very hot chilli pepper, then I highly recommend Scotch Bonnets- very incendiary. Tasty, though.

[goldenwingedfreedom]

Alton get rid of the long hair! cut it please!!!

[pibeagles]

LOL-- Thing switches handedness when he peels and chops the garlic!!! While he might switch handedness from episode to episode, I've never noticed him switch so fast!

[lorezapocalypse]

You should not be buying American rice. A lot of it is grown on land used back in the day for cotton. They used Arsenic as an insecticide so rice grown in American mud has a lot of cancer causing poison in it.

[TaelosX]

I'd actually like to see some solid proof from a well established source, otherwise your statement is just going to be viewed as pure anti-american rhetoric.

[lostinthought179]

The vast majority of American rice is from California, Louisiana, and Texas where cotton was Not grown.

[BlackWolfessUSCM]

That is true, and California makes a hybrid of the sushi rice that they use in japan. Not entirely the same but by my standards it's very, very close.

[halfacig]

OY! He had a bad hair dresser in S12. lol

[wtfm8lolhax]

"That was fun"

Lol Alton, your funnegh

[pibeagles]

Did anybody else notice that Thing is usually right-handed, but about 4:24, he's a lefty than becomes right handed again?

[Alex052480]

just use slab of pork or bacon !! u aint gotta do all that stuff wit picklin

[madman8199]

I'll second that. I just made this recipe with a couple of ham hocks from my local butcher shop, and vegetation from the farmer's market. Ho-lee crap. Better the next day, too. I'm gonna dream of it when I'm sleeping tonight.

[plinkytx]

I thought Etouffee and Jambalaya represented Creole and New Orleans quite well compared to red beans and rice, but I'm from Louisiana so what do I know?

[MetalSlug117]

Alton is getting his terms mixed up. Translucent means that light can still get through something but it is NOT completely clear. He is getting it mixed up with Transparent. Meaning that all light is passing through an object without hindrance. Semi-translucent is not a word. If you can't see through something then it is Opaque. A freshly cut onion is Opaque. A cooked one (at least to the doneness Alton wants) is indeed Translucent.

[hotmail319]

who the fuck cares

[highpriestrsw2]

I love this show!

REAL red beans and rice is so much better than the boxed Zatarans kind but I'm usually too lazy to make the real stuff.

[Lendm]

I love when he says "Hot Diggity Dog".

[jokeiii]

It's three RIBS of celery, not three stalks...oy.

[pibeagles]

My family always said stalks not ribs. It means the same thing!!! Different people call things by different names--e.g. water fountain vs. bubbler.

[freakbutt21]

"hot diggity dog, one of my all time favorites" wow

[Merlyn1978]

Thing is skilled, he took that head of garlic, peeled and chopped it in an instant.

[louieliu97]

lol

[SantinoBrasiGBB]

Molar Molestation

[simplyridiculous]

I love Alton, but he needs to get over the mid-life crisis hair.

[MoleSnyper]

yea i know!

[BloodMech21]

lol xD

[Lisanab]

SERIOUSLY!!!! And this was S12 already!!!

[VoidOnTuesday]

@simplyridiculous just wait until your hair starts thinning.

[yanadl]

are those guitars on his shirt? that's awesome.  love this show.

[misamelon]

is the supermarket a green screen?

[codybird344]

I don't believe so

[khesed]

Never is.

[BlackWolfessUSCM]

Nope, he always films at real supermarkets.

[misamelon]

that's what i thought, but when he's in front of the vegetables and butcher area it looks kind of fake.

[dethflip23]

I think he justs picks his stores carefully

[khesed]

SOME of those are staged, but properly prepared.

[Zaddtheman]

You can see a reflection in the glass,

[carrie1677]

Thanks!

[grimdreaper]

Did you notice that he is not using latex gloves in this episode? He is using vinyl.

[Zephilindrum]

Absodefinitively, I think i'm gonna start using that now.

[darkidz24]

he looks better with short hair

[mastatsan]

yay! more good eats!

[turbine13]

Tasty Stuff!
