For those who have tried all the sauces...do you agree with Alton's ratings??
First We Feast I've tried like 3 of them
So yes
Yeah I agree with the rankings. He just trashed dawson's like a bad prom date.
I personally like Dawson's. Also of course the fiery chipotle reigns supreme.
Haven't tried too many of the sauces but we use Hammajang in our cooking and we love it.
"Mad Dog 365"
Gordon Ramsey: drinks an entire bottle of Pepto and bag of donuts.
Alton Brown: Shotguns sauce right out of the bottle.
Just watched the Ramsey one before this. Nice comparison
Alton is a class act, Ramsey was really disappointing in comparison for sure
For fucks sake. It's Ramsay with an a
KFN1A2A3 thanks mom
@@djwright9347 you're welcome, son
"Fun show. Next time try to get something hot, though." *buttons up suit and walks out*
What a baller.
Like a boss.
fuckn savage 😁
That is the Alton I know and love.
That was absolutely brilliant.
"I'd say bring the heat but you don't seem to be able to do that."
This guy can roast people just as good as a chicken!
Or even prime rib!
chickens don't roast people
Quote is from 14:00
@@Xfade81 In Soviet Russia, chicken roasts you!
the only he he roast is being a rich pos who should be in prison... he lit attack ppl making millions less then him.. he ADMITED to leaving a cart... aka damaging items.. he didnt pay for it but is EXACTLY stealing to damage by abanding his cart/not pay... because he makes food better then poor ppl... he is one oif the few ppl not brought back because his pos status/ stealing justin tl was back because hes nicer kinder... and didnt admit to damagin product to ppl who have to work harder... who make less
When I watched this 3 years ago, Alton’s statement about how the food people buy brings him down resonated with me. To this day whenever I pick up something up at a grocery store or look down at my cart I wonder “What would Alton do?”
By and large, this has greatly improved my diet’s quality.
👍💪🏼
@@JamminClemmons is it English class? Or is it a TH-cam comment? That you understood despite grammatical errors?
Food stamp day especially, depresses me, greatly.
It very much pays to think about yout food choices, especially with how much processed and over-sweetened food exists in grocery stores
@@amandafrost1346 Food stamps are essential when one is unable to buy healthy food, and it helps to prevent one from starving. I know this personally!
Hearing him say that food media blew up after 9/11 because people wanted comfort is fascinating. Especially because as far as I can tell the same thing is happening with COVID
Bri Koala Think there’s lots of truth there. I’m an old school foodie, but even I’m now experimenting in ways that I never have. And goodness knows, more carbs than I’ve ever eaten in my life!!!
I agree, though I'm working thru the pandemic, I see tons of friends and adopted family posting food pics ... the power of food is amazing in a lot of ways!
I was scrolling along and wanting to post this... But you got it first lol
yea,,, everyones watching bon appetit on youtube during quarantine (i am part of Everyone)
I have anxiety disorder, and frequent at that, in this time of quarantine the panic attacks are more frequent. I gotta say you're right on the spot with your observation, cooking has become sort of a meditation exercise for me, it helps me relax and deal with the disorder.
He treats hot sauces like a sommelier with wine. Not even the last dab got to him, all he reviewed was the flavors. Amazing.
Yeah. Even Da Bomb didn’t faze him, and that’s one that’s made quite a few legends on the show trip, like Gordon Ramsay. That sauce is dangerous! Lol.
@@jackdaone6469 he is a southerner so that makes sense.
So hot sauces would probably be part of his things.
@@jackdaone6469 Da' Bomb is just evil. I've had it several times, and it's just a heat assault on your mouth. No flavor, taste is sort of metallic. It's just a horrible product.
@MUFC Ok then. But back to the topic at hand...
@@jasonmicron why on earth did you have it multiple times then? Haha
I think this guy has one of the highest tolerances to spicy food ever on this show.
Kristen Bell could probably give Alton a run for his money.
Andrew Zimmern
It’s just the half n half
Guy Fieri was also incredible at this challenge. Not a sip of milk, and engaging answers to the questions.
It's either him or YG
Imagine being an employee at the grocery store and having to occasionally have put away all of Alton's groceries. Just thinking, "I guess someone bought the wrong chips in front of Alton Brown again..."
😂😂😂
😂😂
I was looking for a comment like this! lol I doubt he’d get frozen things but I bet he’d have allot of things to put back in produce lol
It's nice of Sean to finally get his dad on with him.
TheBlarggle +
I was thinking the same thing. They're actually quite a bit alike, personality-wise and in work ethic, not just looks.
LOL
Sean Already Had His Dad On Here
I Was also Being sarcastic
"Fun show, next time try to bring something hot though"
What a fucking savage,
Speaking of, they need to get Adam Savage on here.
So much dom energy in this statement.
Also; and I'm paraphrasing, "Dawson come at me. I'd say bring the heat, but apparently you can't".
Take more than 3 bites lol
I love how Alton strikes on one of the tenets of hot saucing: You can either have a good hot sauce or a hot hot sauce. Anyone who makes a spicy hot sauce doesn't seem to care about the flavor, and anyone who makes a flavorful hot sauce doesn't really care about spice as much.
I'd just like to say that I make hot sauces that have flavor. And there is a secret to how to pull that off and have it mean something.
Alton is definitely the type who wouldn't want a hot sauce that he couldn't revisit from time to time.
Although I enjoy hot sauce from time to time, it's not just the heat. It's the flavor that adds to the dish. I'm not an expert but the flavor then the heat, for me, is what makes a good hot sauce
@@cathy2443This. The absolute best hot sauces offer more than just heat.
Green Chalula is great on chicken and not terribly mild.
Why am I just now seeing this fabulous episode?!! I dearly love and appreciate the food genius of Alton Brown. His every word is filled with wisdom and honesty. Great interview as always Sean! 🤗🤗
That’s what I just said he killed it so real so great
This is one of my top 5 interviews. He's a badass!
Thank you Alton Brown for saying what needs to be said: "it's hot but not good", the pain needs to be worth it!
Anyone who has had that sauce knows
@@r.b.rozier9692 I actually tried it in Peppers in Rehoboth, DE, when I was 13 and my exact words were "it's hot but I don't like the taste", 15 years ago
That's the standard in Mexico, like you ask in a taqueria about the salsas "This one is hot and this one is hotter but way tastier"
Spicy food isn't that great for most people. I never could understand the appeal of eating something so spicy it makes you physically ill. Gotta be a macho thing.
YES!
Just realised, Alton literally doesn't react to the wings...he never changes complexion, never wheezes....he's incredible!
Kind of a fib but okay
Trained palate, sure he's tried some of the most hotter flavors before this show
@DieWespe, best poker face ever. Lol
He drank a bottle of Pepto Bismol beforehand....allegedly.
@@jacquelynn2051 lol even if he did, that will only save him from the after math. Not prevent the wings from tasting spicy 😂
Alton's performance here is a fine example of why he is my all time favorite foodie/chef. He's the only one who has been on the show to discuss the actual flavors of each sauce. Every single other guest strictly focuses on the heat level.
Nah Undertaker did it too
Well, this is how you can tell the spice lords apart from those that don't seek out the hot sauce... A spice lord will tell you about the flavor behind the heat, others feel too much pain to taste anything...
From the episodes I have seen, there have been others who discuss flavor. Gordon did too, among others. But he def went into the most detail.
I think Gordon WANTED to talk about the flavor BUT the heat killed him
@@angellapalmisano5847 lol, you are probably right!
I've watched almost every episode of, "Hot Ones" that has been released, and I must say, Alton Brown is by far my favorite one. He's awesome, I identify with him so much in the attention to detail. Now I want to research every single thing this guy has ever done, I could listen to him talk about anything on his mind.
I met him in San Diego & got a pic w/ him -- good guy
Mine too
Alton Brown and Henry Rollins are both great episodes.
It's literally the worst episode I've ever seen. He didn't even eat the wings.
I wish Bourdain would have done this. I miss him.
That man taught me at least 50% of what I know about food. I'm not talking about how to cook, but about food. Good Eats was amazing, because you don't walk away with a recipe. You walk away with insight.
Any other show would teach you how to make hot chocolate, Altons show taught you how to make chocolate. Who invented chocolate. When it's best used. What to look for in quality. Why it's ideal for a hot dairy based beverage. It was like understanding ingredients, was *way* more important, than the recipes you use them in.
+Edit. IDK how many of you know this, but IIRC Alton wasn't originally a huge foodie, but rather a theater/film-making nerd. So I guess cooking as a hobby, but *passion* for creating good television, was a perfect combination for inspiring a generation. You never know where life will take you, eh?
took the words right out of my head. loved that show so much
I absolutely agree with you.
I find myself often looking for inspiration, and a lot of chefs will post recipes like "orange and licorice-infused braised short ribs with apple truffle demi-glace." When I want to know how to just cook the damn thing normally, but give it that class and excellent flavor of someone who knows what they're doing, I go to Alton.
He's never failed me.
Bluemilk92 I love this, i remember when I was looking forward to watching new episodes on my little box tv
Yes!! I love him!!!
good eats always was and is still an innovative culinary masterpiece.
Alton Brown drinking hot sauce is the ultimate flex.
Parma Lakshmi did the same thing she did it twice. That lady is hot and crazy
+
@@alanbrown901 so is Alton Brown.
I still believe buffalo has the best wings, but what ever Alton Brown. ..... I’m not mad.😢
I think the flavor profiles he detailed afterwards were more impressive than just the act of sipping out of the bottle. It's the reason this is probably my favorite interview on Hot Ones.
Gordon Ramsay should take notes from this guy.
This is still one of my favorite episodes of all time. I love Sean's reactions to Alton's compliments on his sauces, and Alton handles all of those wings like an absolute unit. Good shit, man.
I can't help but to smile watching this. Alton is one of the public figures that inspired me to start cooking when I was young.
It's so cool to have someone who actually knows about the hot sauces and break down their ingredients instead of just reacting to the level of hotness.
I'd like to point out a fallacy in your smooth-brained attempt of a culinary statement.
How much of a knob can you be?
Tony Crony is the David Freiburger food
Tony Crony I agree
Edward Hernandez And that fallacy is what?
I'm having a hard time deciding whose hair I like more.
Yes
Mmmhh, I think Alton has a better head shape than Sean.
Sean looks like a dude who shaved his head, Alton looks like a BAMF.
diamondflaw toss up
@TMPanos96 wut
3 yeas later and Alton is still the King, he's a beast and he did it with style and grace
Alton one of my favourite episodes I hope you can bring him back for another round!!
I think Sean's proudest moment is when Alton liked the sauce from hot ones
>implying that everyone who comes on the show isn't paid to say the hot ones sauce is good lmao
@@dillo_official I've tried the Los calientes hot ones sauce. It's pretty great!
@@carsonhenderson you guys are something else. Im not saying the sauce is bad. Its just unnatural how everyone who comes on the show just happens to always comment about the hot ones sauce without fail. They are clearly made too somehow.
@Dylan I think it's less about shilling and more about ,"Hey, i'm on their show, I might as well comment on their sauce" and perhaps their sauce is pretty good, granted I haven't ever had any of the Hot Ones sauce. I just wish Alton would of put his input on why 'The Last Dab' wasn't higher on the list, maybe throw in some suggestions on how to improve it.
@@BuddhaBen93 How likely is it that 90% of the people who have been on hot ones all think the exact same that they should promote hot ones sauce. Okay maybe not payed but they have definitely been asked to big up the hot ones sauce.
His street cred went through the roof when he took a swig of that bottle.
Oh, man, I gawked at my monitor for a second at that moment! This was funny as hell!
can you guys share the time code for that? lol
@@JarenLadia 6:55 enjoy
Sir Alton left the building long ago
Facts Kellerman
What a difference to hear a food expert rate the quality of the sauces.
I love how nothing was truly HOT to him. But I’m also not surprised in the slightest. I mean he’s Alton freakin Brown one of the culinary Gods. And he really only took sips to cleanse his pallet to accurately taste and rate them. Best one yet
This dude just drank straight hot sauce and proceeded to identify the individual ingredients in it like.... Bruh.😂
He's amazing, isn't he?
I would love to meet him over any other person
the longer you cook, and the more familiar you get with the ingredients, the easier it gets to do that
Well yeah, he was holding the bottle and reading the ingredients listed on the back.
He was glancing at the back. It was funny joke
"People buy crap"
Me, eating reheated Kraft mac and cheese: Okay feeling a bit called out right now.
As you should.
Never compromise on mac. Make it yourself and be happier.
Eat real pasta. You can do a very simple sauce that's fast, can be healthy, and still very cheap
@@ChineseMusicianGamer go on
@@thestupidskunk530 cold olive oil in pan, put a lot of garlic in (can also add some turkey bacon) , and than simmer it until the garlic infuses the oil. Put some chili flakes in. Add pasta with some pasta water. Finish with lemon juice and optionally some parsley and parmesan.
5 years on and this is still my #1 interview so far, absolutely phenomenal.
He's so calm, cool, and collected, as well as a culinary genius. He didn't flinch at the heat. I love this man.
Alton is just flexing his knowledge and love of food throughout this. The guy is a food genius.
RockStarRei sixty-nine 😬
He definitely is flexing but Im also impressed by it! I also find him quite hysterical
@@chrisjacobs7419 Is it really flexing, though? I mean, that's this man's life. That would be like sitting down with Steve Vai and saying he's flexing for playing blitzingly fast on guitar.
RockStarRei the huge flex was naming off the ingredients by taste and smell!
@@chrisgorman3997 again, is it really flexing? Food is what this man does. Is it flexing if Joe Satriani can name the scale, mode, or key you're playing in just by a handful of notes?
Is it flexing if a mechanic can tell you what's wrong with your car by the noise the engine is making? Or a doctor diagnose you based on your cough?
By far my favorite Hot Ones guest ever
Donut!!!!! Ramseys is on the 24th. Excited. I loved your cooking videos. More!
Donut Operator lov ya dad
Well Gordon Ramsey bout to be on sooooo
@Donut Operator I'm going into law enforcement currently with my local department, you're videos help me a ton!
Donut!!!!!
This must've been one of Sean's dream interviews. Alton enjoyed himself.
Love Alton at about 4:20, noticing there's a teaching moment available - and kudos to Sean for just admitting and taking the input.
There's something... Transcendent about Alton Brown. He's one of those super intellectual people who thinks about things on a different level than the average person, but he hasn't lost his humanity for it. He still has that sort of playfulness and lust for life. He has convictions, but he'd rather educate than preach or resign to the inevitability of ignorance.
I just really like Alton Brown okay?
You couldn't have summed him up better.
He's such an awesome and I don't blame you for liking him! We AB fans are with you!
Bob Googlin aaaand you’re an example of someone with low IQ
FoxxyGradius Alton just made my list of ppl I must meet before I die
I'd never heard of Alton Brown before this, but he has a way of speaking that made me so interested in hearing what he had to say
"I don't get the ghost chile"
*cues dramatic music*
"...Or maybe I do"
truthfullies28 cues vsauce theme
When I was a kid, I didn't watch cartoons, I watched Food Network with my Mom. I LOVED Good Eats, Alton Brown was my childhood hero. It was really fun watching him, especially with him being as knowledgeable and honest as he is
Very relatable comment!! Literally such a big part of my childhood, I also would enjoy food network with my mom or alone. Always felt like kids couldn't really relate to that.
Alton is an intelligent food personality. Sean does such a great job. Great episode.
I'm loving the twin bald heads that's happening right now. I mean, the chemistry is just . . . Ah. Amazing.
Suh Dude a bald head competition
kindred spirits
Yes yeeesss
Yeah altons a real good guest and get for them. Also did anyone else laugh their ass off when the sad music came in when alton started talking about 9/11? That was so over the top it made me laugh. Some not so subtle editing there lol
Suh Dude ha!!! Chemistry, very punny 😅
Alton throwing smoke at foods/ companies the best thing ever "Dawson's come at me. I'd say bring the heat, but you dont seem to be able to do that."
I died ...resurected myself and died again on that one...too much
Savage. One of the best quotes I've seen on this show
He is EXACTLY the kind of interview I thought he would be. He didn't disappoint.
This guy is awesome. You need to have Alton again.
I was just thinking this.
"Dawson's, come at me. I would say bring the heat but you don't seem to be able to do that."
I fucking love Alton so much.
Alton has balls of steel: not a drop of sweat in a wool jacket. Eyes not watering. Damn.
Honestly this probably one of my top 5 fav interviews. He's so cool
I love how Alton sipped the Hot Ones Chipotle and picked the notes of flavor like a fine wine!
I love Alton's personality. He's not cocky or arrogant, he's down to earth when he's showing off his knowledge. I can't help but to smile everytime I see him because he's enjoyable.
John Vallance he leaves the store when he sees what other people put in there cart. Very down to earth
@@FullOfMalarky He actually handled the wings better than Gordon Ramsay did.
John Vallance You literally didn’t even respond to their point.
*face of disgust* you didnt even responded to him
@@onedropmtg6038 I just noticed that. Thats what happens when you respond while half aslepp 😂
Once again Sean dropping thoughtful and insightful questions. OG Alton taking the time and in return giving thoughtful and insightful answers. Great episode.
Jerrod P super agree! Great episode
Is there a better interviewer in the game right now? Sean is the GOAT
sean is the man
those "real" moments in this where he puts his persona down and talks seriously about a topic that he cares about like food media or social media. but his goofy moments where he's just alton are also good - very high caliber of guest
People talk about him reviewing the sauces but nobody mentions how he reviewed the labeling on the bottle of The Last Dab.
This episode is a great example of Sean's interviewing prowess. It takes a beast to match wits with Alton Brown.
I agree.
Agreed
Amen to that. I’m fascinated by Brown but Sean asks some amazing questions
Alton has not only broken the rules and the whole purpose of the show.
He owned it in a way that he could be the next host.
Love Sean BTW
Still your best guest. You have to have him on again. Dude knows his flavors and can educate you while you watch. An awesome episode I find myself coming back to, over and over again.
Yes I love how he could pick up flavors and suggested what to add.
I agree he should be back, I feel like the sauces have really stepped it up in the taste department over the years.
Still one of my favorite episodes, in part because Alton breaks down whether the sauces were actually good or not
Alton Brown gets OG status.
I watched the Gordon Ramsey episode right before watching this one. Alton didn't even flinch at things that made Gordon cry. Alton's the man!
USA USA .
@@scottkeppler6935 your right! I was about to say that Mr. Brown is an American! ☺
I got to serve him in the past...he and his family are very wonderful people.
Just watched this episode back to back with Gordon Ramsay and the difference between the two men in both the way they conducted themselves and the way they handled the spice was night and day. Alton is a class act and Gordon is... Gordon.
Sean looks like Alton’s long lost son.
Julia Paramo lollllll
OH MY GOD YOU'RE RIGHT! (Also I was the 69th to like this comment!!!)
when dr evil reunited with his son...
Eli Haugen RIP Vern Troyer
Julia Paramo long lost baldie brudda
It's amazing how charismatic Alton Brown is.
play
the first time in
Immensely so! He's got that Jeff Goldblum energy to him.
is he?
the thing I love about him.. is he never talks down to anyone and that is shown in what he cooks its simple but it has a tonne of depth.
Dude, it's amazing seeing pros pick apart individual flavors in recipes. I love it.
The fact that Alton Brown mentioned Baubette's Feast as the best culinary movie shows just how intelligent and seasoned he is when it comes to the lore of all food. I fell in love with that movie after watching it. I also agree that Ratatouille is a top three on food movies too. Throw in Chef and you got yourself a trio worth watching.
BF is an amazing movie that unfortunately not enough people know about. I would love to enjoy her dinner
Well, Thomas Keller was a consultant on Ratatouille. He created the restaurant's menu in the movie. The titular dish is based on the recipe he uses at The French Laundry. The Pixar animators also visited the kitchen there & did some mise en place to make their animation more realistic. If you watch the movie on DVD, there is a bonus feature that includes him.
I wonder what Alton's top 10 foodie movies are? His food-on-film list from 2016 had 6 movies. I agree w/ Eat Drink Man Woman being up there. It obviously pre-dated Ratatouille's release. I wonder if he'd put The Menu on his list? Bummed Tampopo wasn't on his list. Como Agua Para Chocolate/Like Water for Chocolate should also be a contender. I'd also consider Jiro Dreams of Sushi, but that's a documentary so maybe not subtle enough.
@@Kitty8791 Eat Drink Man Woman and Ratatouille are also favorites of mine. I agree that Tampopo should have also been on Alton's list. I primarily love its main storyline (which also features actor Ken Watanabe in his younger days). I don't care as much for most of the other short stories in the film.
The Netflix series Samurai Gourmet is also worth watching -- a charming look at a newly retired man in Japan who finally has the time to rediscover and experience the foods from his past.
I’ve seen Chef 5 times. Would watch it again!
Alton Brown is such a lovable smart ass. It took me awhile to get past it but now I just find him hilarious.
Bryce did you watch good eats? That's where I fell in love with him. So funny and charming.
"It's hot, but it's not good." I have said this about so many sauces. 95% of all hot sauces are devoid of flavor.
95% damn... you only eat cheap store bought?
idoit ? Wow
So many guests on hot ones have said that
I think in fresh sauces or dishes they use raw chiles and other spices so it’s spicy and flavourful but with hot sauces they want them to have a decent shelf life so it’s just extract and vinegar to preserve it
Try Indian food. I have made every single Mexican friend sweat buckets from eating my food, and heard "I can't stop eating it though!" more than once.
Better?
I just want to say I enjoyed the entire interview, but what I just wanted to point out was at 23:12, Elton had a genuine big almost belly laugh! I like how he enjoyed the Hot Ones sauces more than a lot of the others.
It's an older episode but out of all the episodes I've seen Alton is the only guest I've seen that completely maintained his composure thru the wings of death. Props to the Hot Ones chef sauce makers! If Alton says it's official like the referee with a whistle it's legit👍🏾 Alton is a Str8 Spice Gangsta 😂🤣😂🤣
Alton Brown is a tank, not even fazed by anything, this is the man who helped inspire me to try making my own food from real ingredients and to tackle the spicy foods and sauces of this world. God speed Alton.
Z
TheDonFather9 So you were afraid of spicy food and sauces before you watched alton brown? Wow.
jbmp1390 Not afraid more so less willing to try them because I was overly worried about what it might do to health wise. Having sensitive teeth and a slightly weak stomach sort of kept me from trying that kind of stuff.
He's super cool. Great
The first five seasons of Good Eats are to this day the best primer on everyday dinners ever made. I was 22 when the show premiered, and it helped me get away from my mom's bland, flavorless, over-processed queasine she served when I was a kid.
"I'd say bring the heat, but you don't seem able to do that." Jesus, shots fired.
The reply had more heat than the sauce.
BURN!!
@@Mahlercougar apparently not
Alton was the man who inspired me to become a real professional Chef. His "Good Eats" program gave me something to work at after leaving the Marines. He was so intelligent in how he explained everything. It made me need to learn and know more.
Congrats Daniel, wow!
First off, I applaud the way Alton maneuvered some of the questions to a different area, when he didnt want to answer the question. He is such a unique person. I always love watching Good Eats and Iron Chef. His commentaries and teaching skills are gold platinum. Now I want Alton to give me a list of groceries I should be buying. That would be so nice.
I love that Alton doesnt exactly shyt on the food he just points out the reason its flawed or good. My favorite food critic ever. Growing up watching good eats and iron chef america was made great and Mr. Brown you are why I love to cook!
He’s actually remaking old episodes of good eats, and making new ones, they’re pretty great so far IMO
He's great on his own TV show, but here he just comes off as being pretentious. I bean, come on! who else wears a $500 ball point pen (a Mont Blanc Miesterstuck) on his EXTERIOR coat pocket??? I bet it's a $3 counterfeit pen! Hahahaha
@@TheCometHunter Sounds like someone's a jealous little asshole. ;)
I’ve said it on other chef/food expert episodes…I absolutely LOVE it when they come on!!! They give great feedback and actual critiques/breakdown on the sauces and their ingredients.
I love that he's more of a food scientist than a chef.
The almost 4K dislikes are people from Buffalo mad at Alton Brown.
To be fair, I haven't had a good chicken wing except back home in Buffalo, not really sure what joints he went to here.
@@Haltfire302 but I do get what he is saying- in philly, too many crappy places do cheesesteak, in kc, there is a lot of subpar bbq, etc. there are the few places that do their local cuisine right, and then a ton of others just trying to cash in and do it cheaper/faster. i cannot comment on buffalo, but i bet it also has a few subpar wing places.
@@bobf5360 they do. Some of the best original mom and pops, became chains.
@@bobf5360 Philly needs to go to Baltimore and get there cheesesteak back
He probably went to anchor bar instead of duffs. First isn't always best. Rookie move.
"Sorry, Marshall." -Alton Brown TO EMINEM
Tessa Maye Alton is one the only guys Eminem is too afraid to diss
Moon Rise he doesn’t just diss people to diss them.
@Moon Rise you're an idiot
@Moon Rise What is your source?
@Moon Rise ahhh now I'm seeing it. So you're one of those "special kind of dumb" people I'm hearing more and more about these days.
My parents watched Good Eats all the time and it was genuinely my favorite show on food network. Such a good mix of tips, food science, and entertainment.
same!! it's such a good show ❤
This is the only Hot Ones interview that I watch all the way through.
😂
This episode should be titled: "Sean Evans stares into a mirror that can show the future for 24 minutes".
i had to double check i had no idea it was 24 minutes
YEP
wow .. u said it
I don't think Sean will ever be as pedantic as Alton. Not a criticism of Alton (I love him), I just don't equate the two.
if you put sean binging with babish and alton next to eachother it would look like sean is getting older
This is by far my favorite Hot Ones interview.
Alton just has such a magnetic personality and is so quick witted. Not to mention professionally reviewing and ranking the sauces as he went.
Just an excellent video all around.
I agree 💯!!
I love how much Alton loves and cares about food.
Alton is simply a food legend! You did well hosting such a giant in your studio! Well done all around, very enjoyable episode
18:03 "It could use some... I could fix this... They got cheap with the spices and there's too much vinegar... But this is really a self defense device."
Simply Amazing.
If you've had mad dog 357 before, him suggesting the sauce that destroys you with clove flavor needs more cloves is mind boggling.
azzwort sometimes certain batches taste different or certain spices are more pronounced. My friend has a bottle of the last dab that isnt that spicy, my bottle is very spicy.
Nothing makes me sadder than the fact that Hot Ones never got Anthony Bourdain on here...
This episode is a great example of Sean's interviewing prowess. It takes a beast to match wits with Alton Brown.
Alton is my favorite food channel personality. I watched him back during Good Eats, when I was a young girl (until my parents changed the channel). I love science and cooking and Good Eats was the best show in the world in my eyes.
can we talk about how Alton literally opened the bottle of hot sauce and took a swig of it?
He's hardcore
His ability to taste is on another level
Padma Lakshmi has also done the same
mans a savage
hot wings (drank)
The man the myth the legend. I was truly impressed with his ratings and his person. BTW Alton if you happen to see this I only go to a grocery store either in the really early morning or just before they close.
I was fortunate enough to be on stage with Alton during his Eat Your Science tour. Amazing experience, so much fun. I've been a fan of his since the first episode of Good Eats. Amazing man.
I love Alton. He’s such a familiar voice and character to me.When I was a kid I stayed up late to make his French toast.
I actually missed the Alton hype train. I only got into food media later on, but I remember seeing him a couple times when he guest stared on Mythbusters (I was an avid fan) so I knew him as the "funny food guy from mythbusters"
I love Alton. All of his shows are comfortable for me.
He taught me how to make coffee on Good Eats. He’s always been a favorite
I used to watch it at night before bed with my dad and its a memory I truly treasure.
His recipe for French toast is 💯😍
Love that he actually mentions flavor. So many people act like certain Hot sauces are great just because they're hot.... but who wants to eat wings with no great flavor for their tastebuds? Like don't sit there and tell me you're eating those to go through pain.
I love spicy wings but they have to have a good flavor
Another valuable insight from darth boner
More like he’s able to tolerate the pain enough to appreciate the flavor profile. Unfortunately, hot sauces in the sky high SHU range are wasted on people with a low threshold for pain, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of if you can’t tolerate extremely spicy food. Because the capsacins in chilis act on the same receptors that transmit the pain felt from burns and skin abrasions, so if you’re sensitive to pain, for sure you can’t enjoy a powerful chili sauce.
Which is why I love how Alton calls out the higher SHU sauces as “hot but not good”, because at that point, the hot sauce is just made to be hot for those that like the heat. But then you have people like Alton who can tolerate the heat but as a result realize how poor the taste is.
And another comment on just how wonderful Alton is, you’ll notice he only starts drinking his milk when he starts feeling the heat. And then just before he takes the last dab, he takes a sip of milk. He’s actually prepping his mouth to wash out the heat but keeping it long enough just so he can savor the flavor. So he was doing us a favor by balancing out the heat so that he could actually interrogate the flavor of the sauce. Such a brilliant man.
That just tells you that everyone who is hooked onto spicy food generally are masochistic for the pain...
@@mikukumiku Well if the spicier chili has flavor but the capsacins is the problem, then remove or tone it down and all that's left is the flavor right?
Because capsacins is capsacin, its just heat, the flavor comes from the rest of the chili.
Dude I can't believe how well he took all those wings hahaha
Alton Brown rocked it, and made Sean sweat before even starting. Sean was proud when it was all over!💕❤️🎇🎆❤️
Alton Brown is very cool. He's the kind of guy that will answer a question truthfully & if it hurts your feelings, oh well. I love that!
"Pretty soon...you're Del Taco."
Oof, true words though lol
del taco is good you pleb
Sasuke kuniski i didn't say it was bad. Just how he put it I agree
You people do a great job of selecting guests and tapping into the characteristics that show their strengths. So much I didn't know about Alton. Brava!
I loved Alton's composure, dry wit, and the fact that he was smart enough to admit the champagne trick was not going to work.
This was one of my favourite episodes.
Alton showed up, tore through the wings, kept his composure the whole time, and then walked out like he owned the place. Legendary. He also greatly reminds me of my stepdad, which is a good thing.
He reminds me of your stepdad too
Yeah he does remind me of your stepdad I can see it
Yeah he kinda is like your step dad tbh
Not to mention he merely fixed his jacket and tie, before walking out.
Idk your step-dad is a legend I think that's not a fair comparison
I lost it when he threw the bottle away lmao
This was educational, not only about the quality of the sauces, but about cooking and food in general. Really, really good
Alton has perfected the trick of knowing that it's spicy but not minding that it's spicy.
