I love how he just refers to Vinny like he's only doing all this for Vinny's amusement.
Just imagine your name is Vinny, thats what I do... lmfao
It's like being John Malkovich but we're Vinny.
Honestly reminds me on Rick and how he talks to Morty
I like to think that Vinny doesn't exist and everyone plays along with Brad's hallucinations.
rootsm3 Vinny is all of us, we are Vinny
Why I love it’s alive:
-brad being brad
-vinny being vinny
-Andy hovering in the bg, waiting for a bite, always
-When brad has questions he always looks for some Claire-ification.
-wourder
Perfect.
CLAIRE-ification!? Oh my god you are a mess hahahahaha
Also, Andy being all "Ok ok shut up already I wanna ask if I can have one please" is a big mood 100%.
Yuusssss i agreee
Caleb Valdez hahaha sooo true
Caleb Valdez I always saw Andy in the background, but never really noticed it was something regular. Also, wourder
"Ooh claire what are YOU doing?"
The brad equivalent of "SOMETHING SHINY"
Bad Dog SQUIRREL
FACTS
Only three replies
And with this video, Half-Sour Saffitz would go on to become the one we would all die for.
😂😂 am i the only one that died when Andy was standing in the back debating to ask for a pickle haha We have all been there 😂😂 and then the awkwardness between them. Omgg
Yeah couple times do that wkwkw😂😂👌
"I don't feel too well..."
"Good!"
I feel like Vinny kinda pointed at him or something
I died at the editing😂
Cool sour video pickle of Sarah ali
- I don't feel so well.
- You don't feel so good? Great
Mr. Empathy 2018 - Brad Leone
Bia it me Maisha Ali sarah
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
haha :-)
@@who6494 Like you've never called in sick before lmao.
Bahaha this cracked me up
I wish Brad Leone was my dad, he’s the perf father figure I never had. He could tell me a bed time story about two part apoxy about garlic
I can be your daddy xP
@@JohnSmith-vw5fd/videos Don't be gross dude
@@cupfulofeathers ill be your daddy too if you're not careful.
Lmao these comments 💀
@@JohnSmith-vw5fd cursed comment
"What's the highest proof alcohol we have"?
Editor: "Everything ok Claire"?
She should do her next Gourmet Makes about recreating Everclear. EverClaire?
Appreciation for the editors spending hours key framing random stuff in these videos
Vinney - Vince
@@theoargyros3618 Matt Hunziker is the editor you can follow him on Twitter
I REALLY need to know that organ tune!
Fr "wourder" gets me everything
all the other videos are very professional and edited in a sophisticated way, and then brads videos when they edit them it’s like there on LSD
lauren ashleigh editing would be hard on lsd
Edit: .....although not impossible ;)
"they're", even.
lauren ashleigh 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Brad has character like no other, one of a kind.
"Isn't Citizen Kane a movie? It's focussed around rosebuds? Sounds grrreat!"
Oh Brad, bless your heart ...
Claire and brad are like my best friend goals. Their chemistry is great and it’s not one of those things where it’s like “they should be a couple” it’s just like great perfect platonic fun
No such thing as platonic friends. Men have hormones, women have dreams.
We need a BRAD-gets-distracted montage for the outtakes. I love the lil cucumbers that pop in the frame lol
They reminded me of Mr. Handy, though, which was a bit disturbing.
I love that they thought of pinning them to his distracted line of sight
Love you Brad
10/10 would watch Brad do just about anything.
Jess Jeans are
Think I could spend hours watching him say "i believe" lmfao 2:29
Jess Jeans porn?
I was like #2,200. My vote is Brad build an entire camp site.
@Aidansreviews Productions So the Man knows his Grams? lol
"What's our highest proof alcohol?"
Claire is a huge mood 😂😂😂
We tried this method of of fermenting pickles in the fridge compared to fermentation for 4 days at 70F and then refrigerating. We felt that the refrigerated fermentation left the pickles still tasting like cucumbers. They were not popular. Those we made with 4 days at 70F made a big difference in flavor. Cucumber notes were gone and the pickles were more fizzy. Our brine was 4.32% by weight. We used fresh dill, 3 bay leaves per jar and 2 cloves of garlic along with 1 tbsp of mixed pickle spices. I thank Brad for his rather joyful pickle making adventure. It was inspiring! The recipe is very good, but in our collective opinion the initial fermentation needs to be at 70F for about 4 days to make a better tasting pickle.
Do you combine the weight the water and the cucumbers to calculate your brine solution? I've tried half sours twice. The Refrigerated ones didn't seem to ferment and the ones left on the counter soured too quickly. I can't seem to get that half sour taste. I wonder if my 3.5% brine solution is high enough?
@@acoustic61 the percentage is of the water weight only
@@acoustic61 Possible dumb question, but I don't think Brad specifically defined this, what makes it "half sour"? Just amount of time spent fermenting, or the percent salt brine? I like sour, like pickled (w/ vinegar) cucumbers, but like the funk and texture fermented cucumbers offer. So I don't mind and over half pickle, but want to know what to focus on to find that correct level of sour.
@davidkapral3602 it takes a seven to ten days to make these, you sound like a hack.
Brad looks like he should be a marine biologist in a 70's film about sharks (and I love it)
That movie with Adam Sandler
My marine teacher looks like him but less fit and he wears glasses
Richard Dreyfuss vibes?
@@kevinrodriguez4385 50 first dates?
What do you think he does on vacations?
whoever edited this video needs a raise
*wondering if brad smokes weed*
Brad: "certainly still very well"
Got my answer 😫🤣🤣
omg is this a jersey thing
I love all the little animations and sound effects that pop up every second, it helps keep my attention because if not I would be confused why I clicked on a 10 minute video about making pickles
youre boring
Tell me you love me
Vinny is a figment of Brad’s imagination. He’s been talking to himself continuously ever since “the incident.”
What's the incedent?
We dont talk about the incident
I've heard rumors about the incident too! I've heard it involves a big golden retriever
@Dt Snizzley lol in the episode with Samin he actually talked about getting hit by a car while he was riding or driving an ATV and that he was taken to the hospital by helicopter.
The BA test kitchen is really an insane asylum and the other chefs are just doctors who play into Brads fantasies.
Opened the with salt and water.
Smelled it.
"Smells like wourder."
I love how they edit different ways brad says water
I watched it happen as I read the comment. Awesome. Ha
I wish Brad was a character in The Office
Brad was a character on the Office, they just kept forgetting to turn the cameras on.
Viewing this in 2020: so this is the backstory of Half Sour Saffitz
"alright vinny" "you ready vin" "here we go vinny" "you watching vinny?" love it lol
“I don’t feel too well”
_proceeds to shove 4 pickles in mouth_
Pickles can help with stomach issues.
Matt McGovern yea it was just funny though
Me
@@mattmcgovern2961 No, they can't.
Brad: "great!"
I completely relate to Andy in this on seeing the pickles can’t wait to try one. And then getting another one and another one because they are so good.
3:58 - 4:15, And so was christened, my messiah and saviour, Claire "half sour" Saffitz
Let’s appreciate the two different bell sounds when Brad was shaking the jar in two different motions 1:42
The editing? I died laughing when the cgi pickles came in as Brad unexpectedly looked around! Why I love this channel! Funny and informative.
You need tannins to keep them crunchy. Tea leaves, bay leaves, and grape leaves work well.
Whoever captioned “Certainly Still Very Well” into the mastercut deserves an Emmy.
What’s our highest proof alcohol?
Everything alright Clair?
I died
Of course not... she's half-sour today.
RIP
I don't get it though?
HabituallyObsessed people often use alcohol to forget their problems. They were joking that Claire wanted the alcohol for herself
Why am I dying laughing at this? 😂😂
Whoever does the video editing needs to get a raise ASAP 😂💀💀
Watched this video assuming I'd learn how Claire got her nickname... Glad I wasn't dissapointed.
The editing on any brad related series is always my favorite part! Whoever edits these, Great job!!!
The editor really makes brad character shine
"Smells like water" - Brad Leone on smelling water
Wourder*
"Doesn't feel well," eyes pickles hangrily.... alright Andy we all know a hangover when we see one
When he said 10 days that’s it and they edited “VIDEO OVER?” I died😂
I swear to god him and claire are my absolute favorite people to watch on youtube and who ever edits as well bc they just make it perfect.
I enjoy the way he talks. Its like improv for cooking lol. He just makes me laugh because he jokes around, mispronounces things, all his sound effects and doesnt care, and the editing around him gives even more character. He is definitely one of my faves😊
Kosher dills were my first attempt at fermenting anything and I was absolutely shocked how "put some cucumbers in a jar with salt water" results in "the pickles I love".
"Who gives a sh*t, we got pickles" is a shirt I need.
Whoever edits these videos is a genius!
buh up luh ruh
"What's our highest proof alcohol?"
Same.
190 is the max proof.
Everclear. Boom.
watching in 2019, when gabby was still a kitchen assistant... we have no choice but to stan the kitchen manager glow up
Hands down best TH-cam content, period. This is Brad and Vinny's world, we're just living in it.
I don't understand how you guys keep making these funnier and funnier. Great job!
In a word; Brad
Absolutely funny, and the editing makes it absurdly funnier
Absolutely Vinny
I didn't even know there videos are funny! Going to watch all of them
oh snap i never knew the origin of half-sour saffitz
fancy seeing you in this part of youtube town
That bon appetit deep lore
Same.
Tbh, I’ve watched this one quite a few times and not made the connection
I got here by searching for half sour saffitz and seeing what showed up
His level of happiness/intrinsic anti-depressant levels is just truly awesome. why have I not watched his videos more?!
I need more Brad in my life
Video editor, You are crushing it. keep on doing.
Wait... Brad doesn't know who Orson Welles was, has never heard of "Citizen Kane", and doesn't get the Rosebud reference, but still, by dumb luck, happens to make a snow globe reference, which of course ties in perfectly with all of those things? There clearly is some invisible hand guiding this fellow's destiny.
OMG! David you just made me laugh sooo hard! If I could give you gold I would haha
Snow globes are a universal thing
Well I'm sure Vinny made sure to do that.
EDIT: Nevermind, you're talking about a bit later.
Brad is 2nd coming of Jesus confirmed
I just love watching Brad and his sciency way of things. Love all the cool Fermented stuffs
I relate to brad on a spiritual level I wonder if he has adhd too lmao
Andie M saaaaaaaaaame. I’m like “he and I have a suspicious amount of personality similarities. ADHD.”
@@daniellewalker256 Wait what so the fact that i'm easily distracted might mean I have ADHD? I never thought of that.... Whoa I just looked up ADHD and it's like it's describing me. I do get hyper focused on stuff....
Decimo bro talk to ur doctor. They're the one who can confirm/deny and get you whatever help you need
Same!!! Ilove brad and ihave adhd!
Hahahaha I wonder that, too since I act the same way and I have ADHD.
Editing was amazing lol
OOF it was awesome 😂😂
Love the editing
OOF seems way over edited.
Over edited to perfection
"Who gives a shit, we got pickles" haha. I love Brad!
Love the editing of these. Weird and funny, but without overdoing the slapstick.
Brad and claire: the gods of the BA test kitchen
These are my FAVORITE freaking videos on the TH-cam. Not only are they extremely helpful and informative, but Brad and Vinny make the best team - and we can't even 100% prove that Vinny exists.
Cheyenne Mueller his IG is @vincentcross
What I like about those videos is the fact that they are very simple, most of them use simple and cheap ingredients, no black truffle/caviar BS.
I’ve said this before but the video editor is hilarious with the animations.
The garlic explanation cuts to a previous video was great.
The Andy/Brad interaction was too funny.
I love these types of videos.
I think I missed the Andy bit
@@gabesfreetime6729 7:50
I've made half-sour pickels with my mom ever since I was tall enough to look over the dining table. The recipe is quite flexible interms of ingredients, though my absolute favorite includes dill (especially flowering dill), horsewardish root and leaves, as well as few bay and cherry tree leaves. Salt, pepper and garlic completes the pickling team. Unquestionable YUM in 2...3 days!!
1 table spoon per each litre of water. Cut the tip, where flower was. Keep in room temperature to start fermenting. To avoid mold-sprinkle some dry mustard on top. Brine must cover all the cucumbers! After 3 days transfer to fridge. When cold-u can eat it
Give this editor a raise!
the jingle bells killed me
I need to know who edits these videos. It's amazing.
i was thinking the same thing!!!
Vinny does deserve a raise 😂
I like the original Nintendo sounds. Not sure why but those old Nintendo noises just make me happy.
"yeeg nyeuuuuuh" -brad
The editing for these videos really make them that much better. It’s so wholesome. :)
Who ever edit this video with sound effects should get an award, I've laughed the whole time. Brad your a funny and cool guy.
Brad and vinny need their own TV show!!!!
Hilderberry Hindenberg Brad and Vinny ftw
Hilderberry Hindenberg #FACTS
These guys need to be on food network!!!
No. No they do not. Keep it at BA. TV would ruin it.
why would you ruin this beautiful and magical thing with TV producers and advertisers?
This video is gold. His personality and the editing....could watch for hours
Ive never been more satisfied in my life than at 5:40 when Brad says "Black peppercorns"and I can't explain why lol -- it just brings joy
Slicey chop. So a different language. Love watching him. I'm learning so much.
The editors for this series are SOLID.
Can I just quickly marry the guy who does the edits.
Dilara Sarıbardak . It a girl.. but if ur into that ...ok
Tiny Kitchen omg dooont its better 😍
Lol it's Vinny. Look Vincent Cross on Instagram. :)
I think his heart is taken by brad tbh. Lol
I am eating pickles while watching this. Perfect quarantine combo! Good job Brad!
2 quarts of room water, 66 grams of kosher salt, 2 gloves of garlic, celery seed, dill seed, fennel pollen, dill pollen fresh dill, cherry peppers, rosebuds, cucumbers, mustard seed, black peppercorns. That’s the recipe.
THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST SHOW THAT EVER HAPPENED. Brad is the most lovable person ever. Brad and Vinny forever.
I want to see ole Vinchenzo get fermented on the highest proof alcohol you have and Brad be the camera man. For science, man.
Brad telling Andy “you don’t feel so well, great” 😂. Good gob brad. Let the sick guy grab five pickles lmao.
Just got into cold pickling recently. This video is perfect for me right now. Thanks bon appetite!
He literally said the same thing when he was talking about the garlic! 😂
Lexy Howard how did you figure that one out?! 😒
I’m a genius that’s how! 😂
Lexy Howard at least he’s consistent on the info he talks about lol
WE NEED A WEEKLY EPISODE!!!!!!
(Edit) I do know the editing takes a long time to do, and I appreciate that. I was just being selfish because this show is phenomenal.
His banter and the editing of these videos CRACKS ME UP.
oh the golden days
I'm crying from how many times he says Vinnie😂😂😂Remind me of Rick from Rick & Morty but they in da kitchen
Lupe Brooks Im Pickle Rick
It's like the movie with Tom Cruise called "Cuisine".
'VINNY' REMINDS ME FROM THE MOVIE "MY COUSIN VINNY" O.G. OF 'VINNY'
>:(
The editing though dead😂😂😂
Marvelous editing. Whoever does it kills me.

Wourdour
Ikr
Bad boys lol
Goshhh im addicting with "its alive- brad" . the editing /video and brad's personality just soooo awesome
"Everything ok, Claire?" 😂 & now I want to make pickles. They look delish. Thank you, Brad. ☺
What the heck, brad is a fricken hottie
That's how I feel about Claire. I feel like those two could have the most attractive cooking show ever.
Whatever madman does the editing on these videos, double their salary.
pithonic triple it! Pure genius.
This is the first of this guy's videos that I have watched (I watched a bunch of Claire videos before this) and halfway through I thought "this is some really fantastic sarcastic editing, I love it!"
Keeping the crunch, that's what I'm looking for. Will try this method. Thanks, Brad !
I was just looking for a video on how to make pickles and I was blessed with Brad and friends lol. Love this
I'm only here for Brad and Vinny. I'm gonna keep saying it because I want them to get raises.
Agreed
Why They seem like perfectly nice guys. Just because Brad's white he should hate non whites?
"Who gives a sh*t we got pickles" brad 2017
Finally a quote i can get behind.
Someone use that as their yearbook quote
Ahhh Christmas again. This will be my 4 year making my friends and family Christmas Pickles. Thanks Brad
Thanks, Brad! I have been searching for this flavor in the store but could not find them. Perfect pickles
