Apocalypse has passed, everyone is sanitizing the outside of the building and delivering food and supplies for more content, I'm pretty sure he could make a cult or gathering by just asking the kids that were stuck watching him every school year 😂
I've always appreciated Alton's cooking videos like this because he doesn't just show you how to cook something or tell you that you must do this or that, but explains the WHY of those things and how they affect the result. Even when he cooks something I'm not interested in eating, it's interesting to watch because you learn concepts and techniques that are useful. They're very thoughtfully crafted pieces.
I think isolation is driving Alton a little crazy: “I’ve got one bag of chips, so of course I’m going to need a little dip... We’re gonna start by chopping four onions”
@@nahuilegorreta6572 Yeah but he also put like a tiny ass bag in a giant bowl full of what is like 60% sour cream. Honestly though, if that's insanity then sign me up to the local asylum cause I'm doing this shit.
It's obviously a robot supplied by Alton's wife so that he can spend 24 hours a day with her - he's spent so much time working in the last few years that she's taking the opportunity for some "alone time"...
I've been watching Alton since I was maybe 10 on Good Eats, he is for sure the reason I love cooking. I love how he talks about the science of cooking and makes it even more fun than it already is

Not really shade, but most networks don't let you mention specific brand names unless they get the brand to throw a little product placement revenue their way (which is why known labels are "greeked" in them...I particularly remember seeing Absolut vodka renamed as "Ultimat" vodka in a soap opera). The only time I haven't seen that be the case was in Seinfeld, because they insisted on using real products in the show and NBC said OK. I think PBS cooking shows are also usually fine showing actual brands.
Omg, i love how he put the chips into the dip. I always did this as a kid once the dip was low just so each bite would be satisfying without having to endlessly scrape at a dying container. XD flashback to childhood right there
@@LeylaDerben I dunno if that is necessarily true, I have zero discipline when it comes to diet. And I am in great shape, one of the benefits of being an endurance athlete I suppose.
@@LeylaDerben depends on the person, I tend to eat what ever crap and how ever much I want. Most people just see me as skinny but once they see me lift or flex they see I'm shredded. Don't workout and don't diet. Simply live actively and occasionally fast
For me it's hellman's or dukes. I have grown to like the off flavor in hellman's, sort of like people like the off flavor in budweiser, and philadelphia cream cheese. But the flavor of most other mayo is.... Not good.
When Alton ate a spoonful of the dip without batting an eye, I felt as if my reality collapsed in on itself and I ascended to the next plain of cooking
I'm crying because I have been seeing people suddenly having boners for him and I'm just.... Like there was something about a pocket watch....idk man the internet is weird.
Those last thirty seconds just validated my entire existence. I feel seen, even if it's of my most garbage eating habits of eating crushed up potato chips in a bowl of blue cheese dressing. Thank you, Alton.
Gotta lose the mayo! Greasy mouth feel - added it against my better judgement. Must be a southern regional preference. And will lose the brown sugar next time, too. Onions are sweet enough on their own. But otherwise, very good!
I was so happy to find it out here in Colorado a few years ago finally! I still remember the glass jars of Dukes sandwich spread growing up in Virginia
It’s a matter of comfort, much like with a knife. I sliced my hands to ribbons the first few times I used a professional mandolin. After a while though it was pretty easy to use.
THIS is the way to teach cooking properly. Top down recipe instruction, step by step, with detailed explanations. These sort of videos inspired me to dive into the world of cuisine, I'm now a chef. Chef John of Foodwishes does this sort of style, but Alton's production is another level. I learned most of what I know from him and Alton while watching Good Eats.

Safety warnings have crept out of the realm of those with concerns about lawsuits and into mainstream society. They are simply ridiculous. If you are over the age of 4 and have to be told that knives cut and stoves burn, you have no business being around either.
Having cut myself on a mandolin slicer, I can absolutely say that it was because I was trying to get one more slice out of something that was really too small to be sicing on that particular tool. A hand guard wouldn't have mattered. What would have mattered is me being smarter and just accepting that the carrot or whatever, was just too short at that point and to grab another one.

Alton, I’ve been watching you since I was a kid in the early 2000s with my mom on food network. I loved your science based, yet wacky production and still do! Thank you for inspiring me to be a better cook and ask questions. You’re the best.❤️
"You hunker down your way, I'll hunker down mine." I do love his attitude! And his recipes! His wife. His love of teaching. His perfectionism. .... Yeah. Good man!
I love this format of video so so so much! Because it's not being edited for time, you can add all sorts of extra bits of wisdom and tips, tell us exact brands and possibly *why* you prefer them, make silly comments to your pupper...I just adore it. 💜💜
I'm genuinely shocked that this isn't the YT page 1 recommendation for everyone right now. Everyone I know is just now figuring out how to cook, and this is the guy to learn it from!
Honestly - when Alton dumped the chips into the bowl and got out a spool I let out the biggest and hardiest laugh. That's a ROFLMAO moment.... I wish I had chips now.
I love how these videos are short and yet provide so much information about the food, why he does certain things, etc. Entertaining at home.❤️ Thanks for explaining about the baking soda.
Can't wait to watch the Pantry Raids series during the next quarantine! All jokes aside, I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy! Thanks for all the great content
I love these quareeteen episodes! I especially loved spending the evening with you and your wife celebrating her bday! I live near you and love that you live in our community!
pantsless, reclining on the couch or bed, while staring glassy eyed at the TV, while your dog/cat/romantic partner licks up any stray crumbs? You wouldnt even know my black dog is there in the shadows until you drop a chip and hear hher loudly crunching it up while waiting patiently for the next one to inevitably rain down like manna from heaven.
We don't deserve someone as amazing as Alton Brown lol. However, it's greatly appreciated, especially right now as I am currently struggling very hard with my major depression. You're forever a treat, and I've been watching you since I was 11 yrs old. I'm now 30 (will soon be 31 in February) and I'm very thankful of all the content you've created, from this channel to Good Eats, and everything in between.
How have I not found this incredible channel before now ?!? I have loved Alton forever! Yay- can’t wait to watch all of these! Dying at the info on this one...🤣🤣
Alton’s onion dip has been one of my go-to recipes for entertaining since dinosaurs roamed the earth (okay, since whenever it first aired on Good Eats). It’s always a hit with people and it’s always an effort for me to not eat it like he does at the end of the video. I usually caramelize my onions in the slow cooker because I’m hellishly lazy, but I’ll have to give the baking-soda-and-sugar method a try…
When life leaves you with onions, you tube gives you Alton Brown. Does anybody remember the Seinfeld episode where George double dips the chip? Anyway, if Daddy can eat his chips and dip like a bowl of cereal, than so can I.
Yeah, whenever a recipe calls for one clove of garlic I throw that thing away. I can't deal with control like that. I put three in a three egg omelet. ..
Can you do a video where you create a Social Distancing pentry? I live in a small apartment and I can not get tons of frozen things and I do not have a refrigerator that can hold very much, so what shall I get if I want to buy things that can keep me alive for one month and where I do not need to use the fridge or the refrigerator. And how about make some relaxing coffee or teas and some pantry snacks?
Canned and dried foods, my friend. You can buy cans of peas and chicken breast that you store under your bed, if you don't have room anywhere else for your pantry. Even better, you can them yourself, so you have exactly what you want in your mason jars. You can buy all sorts of dried foods that don't require refrigeration. Properly stored, pinto beans have a 30+ year shelf life. As does white rice. Then, if you like you can reduce your cooking time by canning the pinto beans. (4 lbs yields 18 pints of heat & eat stored under your bed.) And, if you like, you can cook your rice and then dehydrate it to have "instant" rice. Add your instant rice to your pinto beans and it will re-hydrate while you're heating your beans. A pantry is a wonderful thing to have. You can create one by using plastic storage totes, top with a piece of plywood for a end table, coffee table, desk, dinning table, depending on how you stack them. Five gallon buckets can serve the same purpose. Hide them with tablecloths, throws, or the easiest -- stack in a corner and use a folding screen. Onions and potatoes keep well, in a cool dark place. Usually several weeks or more. You can store onions and garlic in their diced/ground dehydrated forms. Most compact way of storing them, along with other herbs and spices. If you have the space, a thrief store chest of drawers can store a wide variety of canned and dry foods. Depending upon the size of the drawers some possibilities are: crackers, cereal, nuts, cans of soups, cans of sauce for the pasta you have also stored in the dresser. More: Instant pudding packs, cake mix, sugar, evaporated milk, dry milk, -- if it doesn't have to be refrigerated for frozen, it has the potential to be stored in your dresser. Hope these thoughts help you build your pantry, not only for "social distancing" but for other potential storms of life from hurricanes to job loss.
Potatoes, garlic, sweet potatoes, rice, pasta, honey, bread (bread bread, not cake shaped like bread), onions, beets, lentils. Many things that say refrigerate after opening don't really need it, especially if your going to finish them off in a few days. Ask the internet or your grand parents. Canned things DO, once you open the can, they are just cooked food.
OMG.... that spatula and measuring cup!!! I love it! 😍 I have been such a huge fan of Good Eats and I’m so happy that we are all getting new recipes and tips on how to feed ourselves and our families during quarantine, and for this, I thank you! 😊👍
Did something like this years ago, actually had forgotten it. Onions were more or less the same, instead of sugar used maple syrup, to deglase used whisky and mixed it up in mascarpone. I liked it and my wife too.
I grew up with this man. My brother and I didn’t get along much growing up but one thing we could both agree on is that we would watch Good Eats together. We’re golden now but some of the best memories are my brother and I cooking together inspired by Alton, so thanks!
The best thing to come out of COVID-19 is Alton making the best content he's made in years. I wish these short episodes would never end.
Agreed, it's some of the best he's done in years, as he doesn't have to follow the corporate rules of Food Network.
Apocalypse has passed, everyone is sanitizing the outside of the building and delivering food and supplies for more content, I'm pretty sure he could make a cult or gathering by just asking the kids that were stuck watching him every school year 😂

@@DriveCarToBar I think when they take out the fat on anything they taking out some stuff the body needs also. like some of the minerals also
I like this Alton Brown - reminds me of the old Alton.
Either way, I still love Alton. You have helped me cook things “gooder”.
If anyone else was trying to find the small grinder he used, it's made by grind gourmet.
beemer567 thank you saved me ten hours trying to find it
thanks.
Some heros don't wear capes, thank you
I'm just trying to find white pepper...
Update, ordered them and they are amazing little gadgets. The quality is way above what I expected and for a good price.
Alton, I’ve been watching you since I was a kid in the early 2000s with my mom on food network. I loved your science based, yet wacky production and still do! Thank you for inspiring me to be a better cook and ask questions. You’re the best.❤️
I used to refer to Alton as one of my Tv dads (along with Steve Irwin, and Adam and Jaime) ....him calling himself daddy though... 👀
you too? Alton, Stephen Fry, Adam and Jaime, and Mike Holmes were all my "TV dads"
@@inogeni what about Mike Rowe ?
@@MikeDawson1 He's cool, but i didnt watch his shows as much.
He can be my Daddy anyyyyyy day 🔥🤤
Mike Rowe can get it too.
"You hunker down your way, I'll hunker down mine."
I do love his attitude! And his recipes! His wife. His love of teaching. His perfectionism. .... Yeah. Good man!
Best serving size! Thank you Alton and Team!!
LOL as he dumped in the chips I said to myself, "Oh he's going in LOL." Delighted to see it come to pass haha.
Neat little detail: the editor blurred the text with the steam to make it look like the text was in front of the lens... Good job editor! 3:00
We get it, youre the editor
@@JimBobe 😂
Love the Alton Brown spatula!!! Got mine at William Sonoma a couple years ago!!
"Somebody is gonna oick that up later." Slogan of pantry raid.
"We're all entertaining to no one." Alton, you underestimate yourself. We are very entertained by you.
agreed.
Been watching his show for years!! He's a cool dude!! An super foodie!! 👨🍳
We can entertain ourselves by trying his recipes! Party for one?
I love this format of video so so so much! Because it's not being edited for time, you can add all sorts of extra bits of wisdom and tips, tell us exact brands and possibly *why* you prefer them, make silly comments to your pupper...I just adore it. 💜💜
I'm genuinely shocked that this isn't the YT page 1 recommendation for everyone right now. Everyone I know is just now figuring out how to cook, and this is the guy to learn it from!
I'm a huge fan of kielbasa with sauerkraut, but after making carmelized onions and having that with my sausage, I think the kraut has been dethroned!
Honestly - when Alton dumped the chips into the bowl and got out a spool I let out the biggest and hardiest laugh. That's a ROFLMAO moment.... I wish I had chips now.
I love how these videos are short and yet provide so much information about the food, why he does certain things, etc. Entertaining at home.❤️ Thanks for explaining about the baking soda.
I'm literally watching Good Eats right now on the cooking network, and this pops up. 😂 that's awesome.
Can't wait to watch the Pantry Raids series during the next quarantine! All jokes aside, I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy! Thanks for all the great content
A great video! I have loved onion dip since childhood and this one looks great. Thanks Alton!
When you said Onion Dip, I knew you really knew me. When you said Duke's mayo, you had my heart. You're the best Alton.
Finally a chef admits how people ACTUALLY eat chips and dip when alone!
I love these quareeteen episodes! I especially loved spending the evening with you and your wife celebrating her bday! I live near you and love that you live in our community!
Busted...😳
karen your dementia is kicking in
pantsless, reclining on the couch or bed, while staring glassy eyed at the TV, while your dog/cat/romantic partner licks up any stray crumbs? You wouldnt even know my black dog is there in the shadows until you drop a chip and hear hher loudly crunching it up while waiting patiently for the next one to inevitably rain down like manna from heaven.
We don't deserve someone as amazing as Alton Brown lol. However, it's greatly appreciated, especially right now as I am currently struggling very hard with my major depression. You're forever a treat, and I've been watching you since I was 11 yrs old. I'm now 30 (will soon be 31 in February) and I'm very thankful of all the content you've created, from this channel to Good Eats, and everything in between.
How have I not found this incredible channel before now ?!? I have loved Alton forever! Yay- can’t wait to watch all of these! Dying at the info on this one...🤣🤣
Onion dip has always been a childhood favorite of mine! Glad to see a recipe for it here
Alton Brown……by far the best thing that came out of the Food Network!
I'm so happy to hear someone give Duke's Mayo the love it deserves. It truly is the one mayo to rule them all!
Me: Runs to the kitchen
Husband: You're going to use a guard
Me: I don't need no stinking gua-
*Cuts self with Mandolin*
... Sigh
Every time. I have some bad cuts as well.
That's what my Cuisinart is for!😉
Great stuff! Er...got any other recipes, Lefty?
Pro tip: Don't use these weird guards, just use a cutting glove (chainmail glove). Way more dexterity.
Alice M always use a guard, I once sliced my finger tip off, that hurt for weeks
I have a pair of the AB measuring piston devices. Love them.
Luv you. Been watching the old Good eats this whole quarantine.
I'm watching now!
Covid 19 is bringing the truth out from everyone.
I spot that measuring cup with an alton brown logo on it at 3:45
so where can I buy it?
TheElaborinth8993 I purchased that same one on his website way back in the day - still have it although the print and face have long since worn off.
Alton’s onion dip has been one of my go-to recipes for entertaining since dinosaurs roamed the earth (okay, since whenever it first aired on Good Eats). It’s always a hit with people and it’s always an effort for me to not eat it like he does at the end of the video. I usually caramelize my onions in the slow cooker because I’m hellishly lazy, but I’ll have to give the baking-soda-and-sugar method a try…
"I can say that because this is TH-cam not The Food Network" THE SASS!!!!!!💀
When life leaves you with onions, you tube gives you Alton Brown.
Does anybody remember the Seinfeld episode where George double dips the chip? Anyway, if Daddy can eat his chips and dip like a bowl of cereal, than so can I.
lol i was also thinking about the double dipping scene! I think they referenced it in Good Eats as well.
Good to see you again. Love my time learning with Alton
Alton: Don’t use more than a quarter teaspoon of garlic powder
Me: *pouring whole container in dip* ...Close enough
You hunker down your way.
That's just you cooking. You are, after all, totally hip to your chip dip clip.
Damn that's a good chip dip.
@@hardasanut
Chef John at Food Wishes reference?
Yeah, whenever a recipe calls for one clove of garlic I throw that thing away. I can't deal with control like that. I put three in a three egg omelet. ..
Can you do a video where you create a Social Distancing pentry? I live in a small apartment and I can not get tons of frozen things and I do not have a refrigerator that can hold very much, so what shall I get if I want to buy things that can keep me alive for one month and where I do not need to use the fridge or the refrigerator. And how about make some relaxing coffee or teas and some pantry snacks?
Canned and dried foods, my friend. You can buy cans of peas and chicken breast that you store under your bed, if you don't have room anywhere else for your pantry. Even better, you can them yourself, so you have exactly what you want in your mason jars. You can buy all sorts of dried foods that don't require refrigeration. Properly stored, pinto beans have a 30+ year shelf life. As does white rice. Then, if you like you can reduce your cooking time by canning the pinto beans. (4 lbs yields 18 pints of heat & eat stored under your bed.) And, if you like, you can cook your rice and then dehydrate it to have "instant" rice. Add your instant rice to your pinto beans and it will re-hydrate while you're heating your beans.
A pantry is a wonderful thing to have. You can create one by using plastic storage totes, top with a piece of plywood for a end table, coffee table, desk, dinning table, depending on how you stack them. Five gallon buckets can serve the same purpose. Hide them with tablecloths, throws, or the easiest -- stack in a corner and use a folding screen.
Onions and potatoes keep well, in a cool dark place. Usually several weeks or more. You can store onions and garlic in their diced/ground dehydrated forms. Most compact way of storing them, along with other herbs and spices.
If you have the space, a thrief store chest of drawers can store a wide variety of canned and dry foods. Depending upon the size of the drawers some possibilities are: crackers, cereal, nuts, cans of soups, cans of sauce for the pasta you have also stored in the dresser. More: Instant pudding packs, cake mix, sugar, evaporated milk, dry milk, -- if it doesn't have to be refrigerated for frozen, it has the potential to be stored in your dresser.
Hope these thoughts help you build your pantry, not only for "social distancing" but for other potential storms of life from hurricanes to job loss.
Potatoes, garlic, sweet potatoes, rice, pasta, honey, bread (bread bread, not cake shaped like bread), onions, beets, lentils.
Many things that say refrigerate after opening don't really need it, especially if your going to finish them off in a few days. Ask the internet or your grand parents. Canned things DO, once you open the can, they are just cooked food.
The ending is off the charts pure Alton!!!! Love it!!!
Aw, man. I wish I was stuck with a 50 lb. bag of onions.
My dehydrator would be running non-stop on the back porch!
OMG.... that spatula and measuring cup!!! I love it! 😍 I have been such a huge fan of Good Eats and I’m so happy that we are all getting new recipes and tips on how to feed ourselves and our families during quarantine, and for this, I thank you! 😊👍
Did something like this years ago, actually had forgotten it.
Onions were more or less the same, instead of sugar used maple syrup, to deglase used whisky and mixed it up in mascarpone.
I liked it and my wife too.
Oooh, that sounds even better!
Alton Brown saying “daddy is going to take care of you” is my everything.
Nut Responsibility....
Thank you Alton! “Cause this is TH-cam and not Food Network” haha 😂. Plus his volume measuring cups are super cool!!
Wow! A mind meld experience too. Yes. I was thinking that. Mr. Brown.
In the opening shot, I thought Alton was holding those onions around his neck
I love Mr Brown's way of hunkering. Teach me more, daddy.
OK, not gonna lie, felt a little weird at the end there for a moment!
z o m b i e
This man is a National Treasure and I greatly appreciate all of the knowledge and content he has blessed us with over the years. Thanks Alton!!
It'd be cool whenever Alton says "somebody will pick that up" he always intends to pick it up himself, but he just wants to flex. Lol
When he started talking about seasonings and reached for his apron, I honestly expected him to pull out a nutmeg. Was disappointed, lol
@Castlebury21 Oh absolutely, don't want to lose it!
This is not Townsends! :-D
I grew up with this man. My brother and I didn’t get along much growing up but one thing we could both agree on is that we would watch Good Eats together. We’re golden now but some of the best memories are my brother and I cooking together inspired by Alton, so thanks!
Onions and Alton calling himself daddy? What a Saturday I'm having !
