- Everybody has a different opinion on how to make lobster rolls. Whether top split or side split, butter or mayo, there is no single way to make a perfect one. Chris makes lobster rolls from scratch, starting by 'dispatching' the live lobsters (not for the faint of heart)

“It Was Alive” with Chris Morocco
Jinny Bean haha good one
LMAO!!
this needs to be it own show
Jinny Bean hahahaha nailed it
*Brad's intro music in a minor key plays*
Chris doesn't talk. Chris simply thinks aloud.
omg you are right!
No he definitely talks
Gabe Jones-Lang 😂😂
Never thought of it but that's very true
Don’t we all do this to some degree?
"Brad probably *only* eats lobster bodies" - caught me so off guard, hilarious!
Great episode!
It was so perfect.
Chris: (does something flawlessly)
Chris: oh, that was pure luck
Me: right
multisemesta he’s just so precious 😭
Hes too modest🥺🥺
Chris with the “we welcome the debate” cracked me up. He sounded so much like a really tired dad, preventing world war in his household. HAHAHAHAH
lunasbix 😂
and then proceed to a not-so-humane killing method according to Brad.
I mean, he does have two kids, so he has some training
He really did. Lol!
@@boogeyman2036 IDK Brad seems kinds wrong here. How is a slow death via steaming more humane than an instantaneous death by knife?
Finally, a Chris video! (Along with a Carla cameo, an Andy cameo, a Molly cameo, a Delany cameo, and a Brad cameo! All that's missing is Claire.) My life is complete.
but alex delany posted in his instagram story that it was Claire's last week this week :( i guess she's leaving!!!! :(((
dinodinosaur WHATTTTTTT?!
Noooo! Please don't leave Claire! !
I'm still waiting for an Amiel video.
Chill guys im not going anywhere
"WHOA WHOA whoa WHOOOOAAAA" RIP imperfect hotdog roll. we need more of Chris on this channel. He shoots from the hip and it's entertaining AF.
Jeff Mojica Chris is underappreciated on this channel I think
The man is almost feared by the other hosts as being one of the toughest critics, but really the man is just a insightful and has a broad vocabulary.
No, i believe he's the one receiving the shots from the hip.
I dont get what happened
@@saltycooking He got an end piece which meant it wasn't sliced on both sides and wouldn't work.
Chris's method for taking apart the lobster was so clean and methodical. I'm very impressed!
Except he didn't get the meat out of the legs or the body. There's still plenty there.
He shouldn’t have rinsed it
Gordon Ramsay demonstrates how to get all the meat out though, Chris left quite a bit in there.
Minus the fact he missed the most basic things like removing the rubber bands. Any restaurant doing this should be shut down. You can’t cook lobster with rubber bands in the water.... people with latex allergies could die.
@@tbz1551 Good thing they are not at a restaurant
“we welcome the debate” goes straight up to my arsenal of dad phrases to prevent chaos.
How does one break a lobster so perfectly while still being so modest at the same time 😂
caitron neery that’s Chris for ya haha
Chris is the best.
Easy, too many people make it a chore. It isn't.
@@keinname353 1st world problem I hope for that to be one of my main problems
@@SAINTxSZN not necessarily . For some fishermen lobster that they’ve caught may be less expensive than buying other food.
I love this channel. It completely bridges the gap between most amateur cooking channels on youtube like tasty and on the other side of the spectrum , like Gordon Ramsay's.
Love the way all videos are filmed with each of you personally explaining out everything and the number of times you'd have to repeat to get the perfuct cut. Makes it all very humane.
Preeti Prasad nothing about killing any living being is humane...
@@HannaAndMaddyRawr 🙄🙄
@@HannaAndMaddyRawr super humane man, we humans killing other humans throughout history. super duper humane 100%
@@HannaAndMaddyRawr But this point, the lobster will be killed. So the next concern is how it is killed, not if it's going to die, cause it it.
Breaking down that lobster was gorgeous. That's the sort of thing I'm coming to BA for. Delicious lobster rolls!
Gross!!!!!!! Gurl, you nasty!
Yeah this guy knows what he's doing too, no lack of determination and confidence while breaking it down
Jessica Bruno it was satisfying but it hurt me to just see a lobster get killed right in front of my eyes
That back-of-knife technique when splitting the claw was so damn satisfying
Chris: The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword
Big fan of Chris, he should get more screen time
J J you will since* Clair is leaving ):
Horse Radish what????
Jon Zheng Clair is leaving BA. I know )))):
He’s no Brad and Vinnie
Clair is leaving? :(
Molly breaking into a literal run for a lobster roll is a mood
....... She literally didn't run at all...
Fight Week! Podcast right.... she walked.... wut
@@austin7530 your mom is literally Hitler
Somebody needs to re-examine the definition of “literal”.
Also, it’s not a goddamn “mood”.
Stop it.
Molly is a whole mood right now! Lol
Brad probably only eats lobster bodies
😂😂😂
Yo this was so savage 💀💀💀 Chris might be my new favorite lol
Fermented lobster bodies
Chris is super entertaining. Hope he gets more screen time fr
"Brad probably only eats lobster bodies" damn that SHADE 😂😂😂😂
I watch all these videos twice. Once for the actual video and to get the content from that. Then I restart and just watch the background and look for funny moments or try to figure out what people are up to. It's fun haha
GTBMuckface yup! It looks like something was going down outside considering Carla et al were standing looking out the window. It's nice; like people don't get kicked out for filming.
I have never seen,
Woah...
Woahhh.
WOAH!!!
*gets new bun*
Alright, cool, we’re back
Where do you get those Special Hot Dog Rolls?? I haven’t seen them in the grocery store!!😯
@@HISIAM888RUHIS888 some places just have them? Trader Joe's has top-split buns iirc, I'm pretty sure they're not that uncommon, it just depends on the store.
Thank you!!..Will check!!👍👍
i appreciate that you cut the brain stem before steaming them.
@Barrack Obama’s last name nerves are still active after death and yes lobsters have a primitive brain and yes that is a pretty instant death
@@michaelgroff7309 I'm pretty sure they do process pain, but cutting the brain stem would kill them near immediately.
@@murderspagurder2127 i mean yes they might but imagine having your head split in half not much left to feel pain
Chris is so efficient and graceful with his technique and execution!!! Amazing! Love him!
i see what you did there...
Yay! So happy to see Chris getting some screen time.
Butter AND mayo. Yes, let’s get our winter-exterior ready.
I keep my winter-exterior year-round.
James Gardner: ditto
The bun has a greater effect on that.
@@alexclark4792 He's referring to the fat content which expands the fat cells in your body. There is no comparison between the fat content in butter and mayo and one lousy hot dog bun.
@@huitrecouture and I was referring to the fact that your body burns fat for energy, unless of course you have a high carb intake, then your body stores the fat and burns the carbs.
me: literally gasping when he cut the lobster head
Chris: It's fine!
I did too! I screamed out loud when he put the knife on it's head!!!
Claire is my favorite but Chris definitely deserves more screen time!
Finally a video w Chris
Maine tip: with the tail you can break the fins off and easily push ur finger in to pop the meat out takes seconds and u don't have to worry about breaking the shell.
Joshua Calcia
Mainer Confirmed.
I mean this in the nicest way possible:
I feel like Chris Morocco would use this same kind, patient, informative voice to walk me through disposing of a body.
Chris is really calm and thorough, and I actually learned a thing or two in this video! I love all of these guys - keep up the great work ❤️
Chris: omae wa mou shindeiru.
Lobster: Nani?!
Cholula "not an ad, not a sponsor, not like Matty" :D
norfy 2:33 he doesnt mention matty
@@dwayneschmetsky ya don't say
norfy e
This channel never disappoints
As someone who came into BA watching Brad, then Claire, I'm finding myself a fan of Chris as well. Having a good time watching you folks and learning a lot!
I Love Chris, sometimes he sounds so precise that seems like a serial killer. so funny
I really like Chris. More from him please!!!
Loved the thoroughness of the video, Chris is another BA star! I love this channel.
He finessed the hell out of cracking that lobster to pieces. He knew just where to hit to get everything out. 👌👍
Look at Brad looking like *A WHOLE MEAL* in the background!
He didn't temper the lobsters
It already had enough snap I guess. Was a pretty satisfying sound when he broke the shell tbh
Lol I understand that reference
😂😂😂
srgtdonut smh chris 🤦🏻♀️
What do you mean?
top class, amazing technique. Holy moly gonna try this.
The amount of explanation and detail that Chris provides is highly appreciated. Thank you, Chris.
I love BA videos because they’re funny and informative, but I gotta hand it to Chris. I love cooking lobster, and would say I’m not half bad at it. I learned so much from this video. The back-of-the-knife-into-the-claw-standing-up trick...game changer. Also, props for being the one to kill ‘em. You can tell they edited out the part where they go haywire and squirm. It’s tough, pretty emotional if we’re being honest, to do. But some one has to do it, because the end result is so delicious. Props Chris!
I love how menacing Chris looks in the thumbnail. Really has that look like yeah I'm going to end a life right now.
"Twisting, like feeling when it wants to resist and then keep going just a little bit."
slow down with the murder vibes wow
Love that kitchen w the big bay windows being high up like that...awesome
Molly's squeal of delight at being offered a lobster roll is so relatable.
The family and camaraderie on BA videos gives me life.
My whole life I thought I was a Brad but now I know I'm a Chris
6:10 When I finally get my test scores back...
I love how each of the Bon Appetit chefs have very distinct character traits, but they all respect each other enough in their craft to note those differences out of admiration.
love these videos - straight to the point - no bs music - just the facts
I watch this once a day
Clearly Mr. Leone hasn't read David Foster Wallace... He needs to *Consider the Lobster*
I have more respect for this channel from not shying away and dispatching the lobsters offscreen like they could have (even though I personally do not want to watch lobster death)
Props to Chris for the masterful execution of that lobster.
Lobster soul
BIRD FROM THE WINDOW
Don't forget the tear
Cold, mayo, celery, no lettuce, no butter, top-split. Served with a side of bisque
Does anyone actually _like_ celery?
Me
Uriah Siner yea
Karl Muster
But it’s like strangely bitter and you’re left with a bunch of stringy stuff to gnaw on lol
It's not bad. I can think of worse things to eat.
Cooked, yes. Raw, no.
7:12 this is the happy dance that marks a successful lobster roll
4:30 "Liberating the knuckle" is what my old scoutmaster called it. I've been in therapy for years.
My dude with the Cholula! I love Cholula in general but it's SO GOOD with seafood. I never eat fish tacos without Cholula.
You must try the Lime Cholula...
I thought he was going to make the bread too!
That's just silly. He should have cought the lobsters bare handed, obviously. Don't think he grew the celery either. Obvious clickbait.
finally someone worth watching on bon appetit
I love Chris. Such an entertaining fella.
YES. PLEASE. ICON.
Oh my gosh I loved this video!!
OMG a Chris video? All hail the true king of the test kitchen.
A Chris video? Yaaaaaaaaas queen!
the love in the comments of every BA video is the reason why I still come to TH-cam
the more I see of Chris Morocco the more I love him!
Molly looked excited and pleased to be the taste tester.
I never thought that breaking down a lobster could look so attractive omg it looked like it was something straight outta James Bond or something
"Cholula!" -Matty Matheson, somewhere.
I like the way Molly bit that bun!
Chris is the most savage of the BA squad.
So if you were extracting the meat from the knuckles and putting it in the sandwich does that make this a .......... knuckle sandwich
Buh dum tiss
Tucker Karnes I wish I could super like this comment.
... I feel so weird. But when he killed the lobster, the cracking sounds was so satisfying
You’d know molly enjoys the food when she dances after taking a bite
As soon as he said bust the buns wide open I heard an 808 beat and that song that goes bust it wide open bust, bust it wide open lol
For the perfect lobster roll you can stop at just lobster, butter, roll.
I disagree - I am from Southern CA - but am stationed in Washington DC and took the opportunity to drive up to Maine to get a lobster roll (had never had one before and honestly never had lobster either) - it was a very basic roll - lobster on a roll and it was probably the most underwhelming thing I've ever eaten. It could have been because I was not used to the texture or taste but it just seemed extremely plain. Regional flavors may be the cause ?
Chris more often please!!!!!
Chris made that look so easy
Where are they located? Is it a school or a studio for cooks to show their work? I really don't know what Bon Appdtie is!!!
It's a magazine. They have offices in New York
1 World Trade in New York.
It's a food magazine started in 1956 located in NYC (now also a website and this youtube-channel). So these videos are shot in their test kitchen, where they figure out recipes for the magazine :)
It's a magazine, primarily, but has now come to branch out to their site more and especially this TH-cam channel. The offices and test kitchen are located on the 35th floor of 1 World Trade Center in New York City.
Sara Stenz
Ah thank you Sara. The explaination about why a food magazine have a kitchen of their own helps a lot!
Cracking that lobster claw and revealing the meat was sooooo satisfying!
Anyone else just love the moments when the other coworkers get jummy and excited to try the food?
Two things to add from a passionate new Englander. First, don't cut open the lobster before you cook it. You lose a lot of juice and flavor. Secondly, don't wash you're lobster meat, many people do it because they are scared of the green stuff, but the green stuff tastes amazing and I know lots of ppl who think it's the best part.
Please more of Chris and him tasting things :)
This kills the lobster
Loved this, good to finally see Chris in action. And thumbs up for Molly too! She's adorable.
EFF ME UP, THAT LOOKS SO GOOD. We stan for Chris.
I like pretty much everyone in the BA test kitchen. It's really sad to see Claire going, though.
Chris: single-handedly killed a lobster
Chris: -so that‘s like the dirty part of the job 🤷🏻♂️
Chris wiping the counter - like he's dusting his grandma's chifferobe after slaughtering the lobster - was priceless.
The only debate regarding lobster rolls I ever have with people is warm vs cold lobster rolls.
Warm rolls superior. Cold rolls inferior.
Warm rolls and cool lobster is my choice.
MogwaiInjustice spot on
🦞 - So you’re just discussing the “nicest” way to kill me in front my face like that???
😒😒😒
Sebastian was right...
Clean chef is always a plus
That caught me by surprise that Chris actually mentioned the meat inside the body. I have known about it since I was a little kid vacationing in Five Islands, Maine. While it is time-consuming for me to get all the pieces out of the pockets they're in I always extract that meat. Lobster is just too good to leave any of it behind.
that double bias slice of celery is a really nice tip.
