I have watched your shows since i was a child.. im 32 now and you allways been such a rockstar in the kitchen, my absolute fave celeb chef... thanks for so many awesome years..😃❤
Ditto. Good Eats taught me why you do things in the kitchen not just how to do them. Honestly, there should be some sort of life time achievement award coming for this man.
I'm 33 & grew up watching good eats! I remember the highlight of the teen years was getting my own combo tv/vcr so I could watch MTV & food network. To this day watching Alton feels like pure nostalgia
I lost my sanity way after good eats was canceled the first time I was never gonna get it back hahahahahahahahaa. Someone help. I’m going insane like unicron
I'm 66 years old and learned my cooking basics from Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet. I caught some of Alton Brown's TV shows and really liked the content and production quality but don't watch TV much. I stumbled on these quarantine videos and am really excited to watch them!
I'm so pumped that I found this channel! I am such a HUGE Good Eats fan and have been since it was a new show. This is similar but different in a good way! I have new things to watch for atleast a week 😆 Alton Brown is the man, I still quote him on almost a daily basis at my restaurant job!
Only thing I liked was he pointed out that celery extract was like using the sources of MSG to add free glutamates without having to call it MSG. Otherwise, waste of parchment paper when that rack is by far the most difficult thing to clean anyway.
Alton Brown, I've been watching you since the first episode of Good Eats and you've always been my #1 OG favorite Chef and helped inspire me to spend a lot of time in my kitchen.
I had a friend back in the day who was thoroughly allergic to the added curing nitrites in bacon, but she could eat the uncured bacon just fine. Allergies are a finicky beast!
Thank you for your content during this dark time, especially dark as it’s now been a month since my fiancé,soulmate,dream girl passed. She would have loved this recipe and I’m gonna make it and eat enough for both of us.
I watched one of your videos the other day where you mentioned that you don't like the idea of Good Eats being something only kids watch. As someone who did watch you as a kid, you should understand that you're an inspiration. I live in a rural area and many people here are set in their ways and are unwilling to learn, so when I found your show I was thrilled. I was a fan then and am still a fan.
I made this, tho I didn't have Muskavado Brown sugar, just plain dark brown, and let me tell you how well it paired with Bourbon. I might have hit mine a little hard with the red pepper flakes and pepper, but I like the spicy heat. What a paring. Thanks Alton.
Ohhhhh. I just bought a package of Bacon from the store yesterday. This is a MUCH better idea than just having Bacon and eggs. Who needs a diet - self care is important! You're right!
Woot! Alton, remember for Quarantine Kitchen Star Trek theme with the Theramin! Watch your viewership skyrocket with all the nerds tuning in, regardless of how good the food is! =) Oh, also, Star Trek theme with the Theramin WITH whipped creme! Yes! Star Trek theme with a Theramin and whipped creme with Chemist Guy as a special guest! Triple YES!!!
Whipped cream is OK, but I'd like to see this bacon treat paired with that chocolate-coffee concoction that came out of the nitrous oxide gizmo. Mmmm! Breakfast!
You could melt down the sugar to a syrup, or just use a good maple syrup, throw in the spices and then turn the bacon in it until completely and evenly covered and then bake it .... you might also want to try and add some lime juice and shredded lime peel as well. It's actually insane how good that is, I have done it with chunks of bacon, sugar and chili in a pan ...
Alton, you made Millionaire Bacon! First time I had it was on my honeymoon up to Napa (2016). We left San Francisco early and drove to FRED'S Place for breakfast in Sausalito. Their Millionaire Bacon has completely ruined me, but my wife and I make it whenever we get a chance. Thanks for this refined recipe, as other online recipes for this are fairly pedestrian.
I just made it for breakfast. Delicious. I ate it with ice cream bread that I just made and an egg bite. A word of caution: Do not let the bacon sit on the rack too long. It will stick to the rack. Remove the bacon immediately when it comes out of the oven. Thank you for the recipe.
Does anyone else want to see an episode of “Epic Good Eats Meal Time” as much as I??! Those crazy Canadians have been in the candied bacon game a while now. And how did Alton miss the Baking Rack / Bacon Rack gag?! Aloha.
I've never heard of "uncured bacon" before, and I'm really puzzled by it. I mean ... I'd say bacon is cured meat, pretty much by definition. So if it isn't cured, how can it be bacon?
Former butcher here - technically speaking the USDA has defined any "cured" product as nitrates and/or nitrites during the pre-smoking/cooking or preservation process. I worked at an all-natural grocery store (you know the one) and all of our smoked meats (ham, bacon, sausage, hot dogs) were labeled "uncured" because they technically went through a curing process but were nitrite and nitrate free.
@JT S "I worked at an all-natural grocery store (you know the one)". Dane here, I have no idea what you're talking about 😁 Not surprised that USDA regulations are bonkers, though.
As for me..... I don't use chili flake, I use Himalayan pink salt, black and white pepper, and if I can get it, red peppercorns or Szechuan peppercorns. I know AB, I know... You and Major Pepper cleared up the whole thing about it not being real pepper but it tastes good and I like it in place of chili flake. 😋😁
Dang it, I really now really miss Good Eats, Alton Brown has a way of explaining things so you don’t feel like cooking is rocket science even though it’s a ten page recipe.
I unironically love how you assume I do NOT have chili powder (except for the packets from pizza delivery) but DO have Muscovado sugar lying around my pantry. Seriously. Never change.
Love watching you! You make my day SO much better. Thank you for everything you do. I hope you do a tour when the world comes back. I'll be the first one to buy tickets!!! Your biggest fan.
I am going to try it substituting dark brown sugar with a bit of molasses added for the muscovado sugar. I think I will call my substitute 'Muscovido Sugar".
“I want a candy bar! But all I have is bacon! I have the solution for you!” - Just head right on over to your pantry and grab some of that Muscovado sugar you always keep on hand as well.
Lmao!! Exactly what i always say. I bought some panchetta at a discount store for .85 cents a pound. Looked it up and its over 36 bux a pound with shipping. Its great!
Oh Alton, Its alright to lose your marbles so long as you can pick them back up again when you are done reveling in the madness. Btw THOROUGHLY ENJIYING THIS MADNESS WITH YOU.
Candied bacon is to DIE for. So tasty, and yet so bad for you. Probably why i like it so much! Never had it with the pepper flakes, but that would probably add to the flavor a bit. I would not use as much as Alton did, but a little would not hurt.
I want this series to continue once things go back to "normal".
I love Alton being able to say what he wants.
me too.
Yes. The “new normal” must include Pantry Raid.
I'm sure that will be up to his work schedule when he's full timing Good Eats again.
Me too its wonderful
I couldn't agree more, he's making food great again
"I want a candy bar, but all I have is bacon" Ah yes, I too can relate to this dilemma
bacon for the win!♥
It's like a First World problem but somehow moreso.
you spelled "blessing" wrong
And that is a dilemma because...?
😒🤔🥓🥓🥓😯😁
Wait! We can do this ...
Cook bacon.
Slowly microwave those 6 pack of Dollar Tree chocolate minis. Stir and cover. No messes please.
Dip bacon. Done!!
I have watched your shows since i was a child.. im 32 now and you allways been such a rockstar in the kitchen, my absolute fave celeb chef... thanks for so many awesome years..😃❤

Oh Alton, everyone is losing their mind in quarantine. Love this man. Wish I could find a man like Alton. 😍 🥰 😉
These always warm my heart 😊 thank you Alton
i believe in Jesus.
Alton Brown : I am loosing my mind
Anyone who has watched an episode of Good Eats : That's been gone for a long time
*losing
I lost my sanity way after good eats was canceled the first time I was never gonna get it back hahahahahahahahaa. Someone help. I’m going insane like unicron
How do you lose what you never had in the first place? 😁
Matthew Cox there’s a bit of sanity lol

I've been making a type of brown sugar and pepper bacon since as I was a kid! Glad to know I'm not crazy and this is a thing lol

Makin' bacon = Not crazy
Not eating it afterwards = Insanity

I'm so pumped that I found this channel! I am such a HUGE Good Eats fan and have been since it was a new show. This is similar but different in a good way! I have new things to watch for atleast a week 😆 Alton Brown is the man, I still quote him on almost a daily basis at my restaurant job!
Gotta say, this episode was super helpful. I tried this recipe once, just once, and it immediately became my one of my top 10 favourite foods.
Steve Martin would be proud of you, Alton. This was pure comedic genius. And HELL YES I'm going to try this.
I absolutely love this style of honesty and just flat reality of cooking!!
im so glad you upload your own content man. keep it up
Only thing I liked was he pointed out that celery extract was like using the sources of MSG to add free glutamates without having to call it MSG. Otherwise, waste of parchment paper when that rack is by far the most difficult thing to clean anyway.
I was sure you were going to stack the bacon to make a real bar.
I guess I have to do that now.
Alton Brown, I've been watching you since the first episode of Good Eats and you've always been my #1 OG favorite Chef and helped inspire me to spend a lot of time in my kitchen.
I saw the word “bacon” and, clicked as fast as I could.
Me too!
Jay Ar you must be perfect, to judge so quickly
That's stupid
@Jay Ar you must be sad, depressed and unloved 😆

Pig Candy! It's a family favorite. When it's still warm, you can roll it in finally chopped pecans. So yummy.
Missed opportunity to make the joke that it's not a "baking" rack, but a "bacon" rack.
No, I'm not a father. Why do you ask?
"Thanks for washing" my kind of comedy, I always knew I like alton

Watching a video all about the marriage of bacon + brown sugar… And I wonder why I have put on the Quarantine 15. 😂
That’s 4 less than my COVID 19 😏🙁
If it weren't for knowing everyone else is having the same problem , I would be going bat crazy myself. Thanks Alton. Love your videos.
I’ve always called this “pig candy” :)
me too,
Call this show the Alton Brown Experience
You had me at bacon. You had me again at 1/4th a cup Black pepper.
I made this, tho I didn't have Muskavado Brown sugar, just plain dark brown, and let me tell you how well it paired with Bourbon. I might have hit mine a little hard with the red pepper flakes and pepper, but I like the spicy heat. What a paring. Thanks Alton.
This is similar to what my favorite ice cream place does to their Porky's Delight ice cream. And yes, I eat bacon ice cream.

I swear AB is a national treasure!
I admit to starting a bacon hoard. Now I can hoard with less guilt! Lasts for.ev.er.
I would have never thought of this bacon hack. Thanks, Alton! Stay safe and sane!😎👍
Pantry Raid is my new favorite show!

Hahahaha!!! He makes me giggle. “I’m loosing my mind” ...we all are Alton. We get it!
Best part was when he said "I'm losing my mind"
Your anger at the government labeling things in an ass backwards way made me smile so much loll that’s exactly me every time Im buying groceries
I love you Alton. I'll be making this for my wife and daughter who is 4 and LOOOVES bacon!
making the statement "the candy of meats" reality.
dear god, you've hacked reality.
I love that B roll footage at the end. Bacon Roll.
Alton's secret to success: Being adaptable!!!
Bacon is lovely and all, but can anyone tell me what kind of oven that is, with the voodoo knobs??
Probably a Wolf, they often have red knobs
I see a Pilot G-2 on that bib pocket. Outside of a fountain pen, it's the only pen worth using. Good man!
OMG how did you know about the red chili packets did my girlfriend tell you about those?!
Ooh looks tasty. I’m definitely going to try making this. Kinda looks like jerky.
ah yes the snack that sticks to the 'heart' of everyone. I could certainly go for that kind of self care.
the best part of the video was how he showed how he dries bacon wrapped up in paper towels at the end :O amazing
I just made it for breakfast. Delicious. I ate it with ice cream bread that I just made and an egg bite. A word of caution: Do not let the bacon sit on the rack too long. It will stick to the rack. Remove the bacon immediately when it comes out of the oven. Thank you for the recipe.

Other use for the drippings is to incorporate them into a rum cake.

@@jts6016 rhymes with foal whoods by chance? ;)
Same goes for anything vegan *insert meat here* or turkey bacon. Bacon by definition cured pork.
I already knew how to make this, and I've made it before, but I watched it anyway because Alton.
Once again, we are dazzled by your brilliance! Thanks for making me want to ignor my ldl level🤣.
Thanks Alton! Love the channel!
What is the name of the camera guy can we at least see him one so it's not so informal what would he like to cook
The camera"man" is his wife Elizabeth! 🤣
Cindi Bennett Is it though???
Might Oi suggest yellow mustard as a binder and flavor enhancer. Way my grandmother always made it

I unironically love how you assume I do NOT have chili powder (except for the packets from pizza delivery) but DO have Muscovado sugar lying around my pantry. Seriously. Never change.
I had something similar in San Diego a few years back. The place called it “Man Candy.”
whenever i see any of these pop up in my suggestion list, i always read them as panty raid...kid of the 80s :)
Try dredging your bacon in a ~2:1 mix of cocoa powder and cayenne pepper. So tasty and keto friendly.
Just made this, and became the Queeen of this house finally!!!! Thanks bacon! xo
I love this man even more now!
Self care is important hehe. He is so funny yet educational
Woah, the knobs on his oven, have a digital temp LCD!
I'm going to make this, only I'll bake for 14 minutes on one side, and 16 minutes on the other.
DON'T TRY TO CONTROL ME, ALTON!
Love watching you! You make my day SO much better. Thank you for everything you do. I hope you do a tour when the world comes back. I'll be the first one to buy tickets!!! Your biggest fan.
A 'heart of pork' is right, after you get that valve replacement for eating too much of this awesome stuff :P
I love him man he’s funny Dog park and The mask part at the end
I’ve been cooking bacon with maple sugar,chili flakes etc for too many years. It is so damn good.
It may not have been cured with nitrates but I bet it pairs nicely with Night Train 🍷
I am going to try it substituting dark brown sugar with a bit of molasses added for the muscovado sugar. I think I will call my substitute 'Muscovido Sugar".
Has celery powder, which has nitrates.
So, Alton, how is that bacon-scented-parchment-paper-wrapped present coming along?
“I want a candy bar! But all I have is bacon! I have the solution for you!” - Just head right on over to your pantry and grab some of that Muscovado sugar you always keep on hand as well.
Lmao!! Exactly what i always say. I bought some panchetta at a discount store for .85 cents a pound. Looked it up and its over 36 bux a pound with shipping. Its great!
Yeah let me just waltz into my local grocery store who is regularly out of GARLIC and ask them where the Muscovado sugar is.
Oh Alton,
Its alright to lose your marbles so long as you can pick them back up again when you are done reveling in the madness. Btw THOROUGHLY ENJIYING THIS MADNESS WITH YOU.
alton brown is the reason why america is redeemable
..... The A.B.P.S.A. needs to become a regular thing you do even after the plague is over.
I use cinnamons, brown sugar & cracked pepper, or bourbon, crushed pecans & maple syrup. All calories fall out of it once you pick it up to eat.
You can see part of his soul dying when he said use the red pepper packets
Thanks for that education, I'm always looking for uncurred bacon LOL
Candied bacon is to DIE for. So tasty, and yet so bad for you. Probably why i like it so much!
Never had it with the pepper flakes, but that would probably add to the flavor a bit. I would not use as much as Alton did, but a little would not hurt.
Bacon always rules in hard times🤣
a 1/4 CUP of black pepper and a 1/4 CUP of Red Chili flake?! That's more pepper than bacon...
It's really funny that a video about making bacon into candy is sponsored by a weight loss program.
..'these are stressful times'......LMAO!
