    Friendly advice for anyone looking to replicate the recipes: never, ever flambé under a kitchen fan. The flames will go up it, light the highly flammable oils that have accumulated over the years, and you will, at best, need to call the fire brigade. At worst, you will burn your house/building down. Other than that, you should be fine. Oh, one more thing. You light the fumes, not the actual liquid. Top tip, Greg, for not burning your hand.

      @@CodexQuinn The "burned sugar" _is_ the standard that comes in stuff... that's the one uniting element that makes something labeled as "caramel" caramel. "Caramelize" literally means to burn sugar. Caramelization is the chemical process of burning sugar. The three polymers produced from burning sugar are: caramelans, caramelens and caramelins. Spun sugar caramel has no butter, nor anything else added to it; the same is the case of brulees on various desserts. Context by itself can usually reveal whether the item in question is referring to just a burned sugar base or a confection made with it, but we use additional words to be able to distinguish the difference from a pure caramel if necessary like "sauce", "candy", "filling" "ribbon" etc..

    For irish coffee, my mind goes to the bar Molly's at the Market, in the French Market (in the quarter). They serve a frozen irish coffee that is delightful. Last time I was there, someone added a shot of peanut butter whiskey to it which also sounds great and is on my list to try next time I'm there.

    I’d love to see more cooking with alcohol on the show, especially with cocktails that go with them. I’m thinking of like fondue, proper German sausage, stews, beer bread, and I think it’d be nice to mention what the alcohol brings to the table besides flavor. A lot of people don’t know how its unique properties can do things like keep cheese liquid or tenderize meat

    As a NOLA native, I love this.. And yes, this is also a go-to date night favorite to impress the partner (or group). As an option, you can always make bananas foster with bourbon instead of rum. Different flavor profile, but I find it's a nice change, depending on what else you're serving up. Cheers!

    Hey I love your take on the coffee cocktail it started close to one of my favorites which is called a Revolver. 2oz of whiskey 1/2oz of coffee liquor, 3 dashes of orange bitters and an orange twist. If you ever get the chance to try it, I found that my favorite coffee liquor actually comes from a company here in Florida and it's called Siesta Key Coffee Rum and it comes in at 70 proof and it makes an excellent old fashioned with the orange bitters as well. Nice strong coffee flavor without the sweetness you find in some of the others.

    I demand you do "Feuerzangenbowle" (fire tongs punch) at some point! :D
    Feuerzangenbowle is prepared in a bowl, similar to a fondue set, which usually is suspended over a small burner (Rechaud). The bowl is filled with heated dry red wine spiced with cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise and orange peel, similar to mulled wine. The Feuerzange was originally a pair of tongs, but nowadays it is common for a purpose-designed metal grate mounted on top of the bowl to hold the Zuckerhut (sugarloaf), a 250-gram (9 oz) lump of sugar. The sugar is soaked with rum and set alight, melting and caramelizing.

Whip the cream and sugar, then fold in the alcohol and citrus zest. Kind of curious if there’d be ways to make syllabubs with cocktail flavours or not. Only problem is it’s not the easiest to make in small quantities. The Scots also have cranachan which is perfect as is (whipped cream, whisky, honey toasted oats and fresh raspberries) and shouldn’t be mucked about with.

    I would love to see some more coming with alcohol! It's something I've always wanted to try, but never knew what to use.

    13:44 and we stopped to make the drink and had German bienstick cake and my mother torched the top of it. And it was a perfect.

    The Vieux Carre is one of my all-time favs... and while I am not a fluent French speaker, your pronounciation on it wasn't that bad Greg.

    Some pecan halves in the sauce makes the dish an 11/10 for me. Best dessert ever invented.

    I like the idea of "New Orleans Irish coffee," and I think this is almost there. But, as Greg said, as is is a bit more "white Russian." I think whipping (or probably rather shaking in a bar shaker) the cream and then floating it on top would put it more to the Irish coffee end of things.
    Also, for that drink, I definitely think to actually go with the brown sugar even if syrup is available, even a brown sugar syrup. Just mix it in some before adding the ice. The molasses/brown sugar thing may be more Caribbean than New Orleans/Louisiana, but I think the heritage is close. Plus, the extra texture of some undissolved sugar would real give it a bit of a something else; or a certain, if you'll excuse the French/New Orleans pun, _je ne sais quoi_ to the drink.

    When you took a sip of the spoon on the coffee liquer the sip sound and speed, i thought you snorted it of the spoon for a moment. I was like dang. Greg's taking barspoon bumps of Liqueur now.

    Definitely enjoyed this. The idea of coming up with something inspired by/complimentary to a dish is a fun thought experiment. Perhaps next time something savory, like a steak w/chimmichuri?

    If we get more cooking episodes, I'd suggest something involving pairing. Like "oh what's a nice seafood dish and cocktail I could make that would pair nicely together?"

    Do you think maple instead of brown sugar would make it a bit more thematic? Given the connection between Canadian Acadians & modern day Cajuns?
