It would have been nice to see in your pot how things were looking

The second camera I set-up to use for the overhead, close-up shots did not record correctly and so I couldn't use that footage...sorry about that but I agree it would have been a plus!

As the NRA's "Hot Chef Challenge" winds down in it's final day of voting, I'd like to take a moment and THANK everyone who was taken the time to watch, vote and comment on my humble little video.

To my fellow contestants, I'd like to wish ALL of you the best of luck...there are several terrific videos posted for this competitiion.

To the NRA and Youtube, thanks for making this challenge possible.

So to everyone a great big "Thank You".

All the best,

Chef John

Hi;

Trying to show how to prepare any recipe in 2 minutes time is always a challenge and I wish the video was a little more polished but it came in right at 2 minutes.

Ale and mussels just go together and whenever I make this dish I think of a warm summer evening, relaxing with family and friends.

Food often brings memories of certain times for me...I hope it does the same for you.

Thanks for watching.

I would have liked more close-ups of the food

while being prepared and while cooking. Need a

camera for what is happening in the pot while cooking. Too much of you, not enough of the food.

Beer and Mussels - the perfect combination for those of us who live in Maine. Actually, perfect for everyone everywhere. Thanks for being a great chef, and a terrific teacher. Next stop for John - Iron Chef America!

A culinary 10, John.

Now I need to fly to Bangs Island and whip up some mussels! Though I am in Seattle tonight, I suspect that there is something simular! This recipe rocks! Via Adam Cox

So true! Great work John! Pulling for you!

Wonder recipe, and great teaching video! The mussels look absolutely delicious. Can't wait to make them. We miss you at Windows on the Water. There is no place to get a "perfect meal" now.

As always, a big thumbs up for Chef John!
