- Louisiana chef Isaac Toups stopped by the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen to show us how to cook and properly eat a Cajun crawfish boil.
From releasing a crawfish into the wild to playing knife games, Isaac embodies his Cajun roots and passion for rustic, down-home cooking. If you’re looking to feed a hungry crowd and don’t mind making a bit of a mess, this crawfish boil is for you!

"Knowing is half the battle. The other half, Violence" i will quote this for the rest of my life lol
quite profound if you think about it for a minute...
I remember the first part of that quote coming from G.I. Joe
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.... YO Joe !!!
@@superman04p Exactly. And G.I. Joe being a violent cartoon makes it all the more deep.
Facts.
What would the people of Hiroshima say about out that ?
This man has such a chaotic aura and I absolutely love it
Him and Matty should do a show together lol
@@AeonAxisProductions I actually feel they wouldn't get along. They're no the same type of chaotic and I think they would clash.
Chaotic neutral lol
Issac Is chaotic neutral while Matty Is more neutral evil in my opinion
I don't.
Growing up I saved a baby alligator snapping turtle from fishing net and kept her over the winter in an aquarium. I gave her some crayfish buddies from the stream but they did not become fast friends :/. They fearlessly mobbed the turtle and she systematically murdered them all in about 5 minutes, ate what looked like her body mass worth of their mangled corpses and proceeded to sit happily on her rock for nearly a full day. Sometimes I go back to the pond where she lives and tell her about the lobsters at the grocery store.
The morale of the story is I'm hungry and your head reminded me of snappy. I miss you snappy.
I was eight when I caught mine. I found him in a ditch while catching crawfish with bacon on a string. Louisiana is weird
RIP snappy
Don’t turtles live longer than humans?
@@scottwhitley3392 that's only a few specific species of giant *tortoises*
I tried to give my fish a crawdad friend.. he also tried to kill my fish luckily my brother amd I saved "Plea" the fish (half of her body was pale and blind on that side so we mixed up the letters in pale to get plea.) And she only had a fucked up fin to show for the battle. My brother then killed And grilled the one single crawdad
*me from Louisiana*: sceptical of this video
Cold open: "Remember to have a beer when you boil crawfish its actually illegal if you don't"
*Me my confidence increases.*
"I own restaurants in New Orleans"
*I am at ease*
Gotelc I know, right? I had the same thought process.
I say who DAT to ya brotha.
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
(Let the good times roll!)
Who Dat!?🖤🏈💛⚜️
Only weird thing is he boiling inside
Sup! Where the River ends from where the River begins
Isaac is quickly becoming one of my favourite chefs on this channel, keep his material coming
naqieb hosseini sure as hell better than that disgusting other guy
Yeeeessssssss!!!!
You should go watch season 13 of Top Chef when Chef Toups was on. He is a certified bad-ass.
What's his channel called??
@@undisclosedmusic4969 other guy ?
You know what, this guy.....this guy is alright👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
J
Yeah.. He is alright alright alright.
Hes kind of annoying tbh
He definitely don't know how to boil crawfish, those crawfish probably don't have any flavor.
fairview05 yep. No soak goin on those? There’s no flavor on the inside. If you do this yourself, boil 3 minutes, cut the heat, and let them soak for ~30 minutes.
You know this guy is legit because down here in south Louisiana, we always drink when we’re cooking. It’s the law 😂
Faxxx. Always gotta be crackin cold ones
Too damn hot and humid not to be drinking.
Not just Louisiana, The Great State of Texas too , it’s a must or it’s a violation
@@beerman9807 oh yeah, lived there too. Texans will get the mail and crack a beer. Lol
In the cold north (Sweden) we drink when we cook, during the meal, and after dessert we start the heavy drinking!
I feel like everyone is ignoring how accurate his knife throwing skills are...
And yet his potato throwing skills are a little... imprecise.
Well if you not good your buddy looses toes so...
even though I knew nothing would happen, watching that is mildly anxiety inducing.
Absolutely no one:

"Now you know, and knowing's half the battle. The other half, violence." Best quote ever 😂
Toups is that rare kind of person that could have a full theater of people, read the newspaper to them and have it be just the best, most entertaining show they've ever seen. Man's got charisma for dayyyyssss. Respect.
"Little bit of the cajun blend"
Dumps half the bowl
Yes, that's a lot of cajun blend, and no, I don't care.
SCGunDog he said a good bit

@@gutwounds Chill
Old timer you need to check your glasses, you clearly don't have a clue about cooking, id say he put 2-3 tablespoons in. Just the right amount for a pot that big, are you forgetting how big that pot is hes cooking in is?

Death penalty.
Can't have anyone disgracing a beloved bayou tradition
Just wanted to say man. You are extremely entertaining, but also literally one of the best chef ive ever watched on youtube. I'm going to fly all the way from Oregon to eat at your spot my man. Hope to meet you someday and thanks for all of your inspiration in the kitchen.

If he was cajun that whole bowl of seasoning plus a second bowl would've went in that pot.

He is cajun. He's just not an idiot.
Love this man, I've perfected his gumbo recipe he did on this channel, and it always blows everyone away.
arayapokey yeah it’s my go to and people love it
I have yet to do the gumbo, still just a little too hot out in AZ to be making it. I did however make his jambalaya and it was fantastic!
I’m from Scotland and I made his gumbo recipe, it’s great in the winter when our days are 4 hours long and it’s -15 degrees Celsius
Goes wonderfully here In Finland as well, good during the winter.
@@aspentreeisland8324 any hot stew works in the winter
I’ve wanted this ever since Scooby doo zombie island
Ah, a fellow man of culture.
That boil was a little lackluster in my opinion cause they was in a van not at a folding table covered in newspaper specifically saved for that reason.
Cuz it's terror time again

Never clicked on a Munchies video so fast!! I love Isaac. More of him Munchies. More of him.
OR AN ISAAC AND MATTY CROSSOVER.
Isaac and Matty cage fight. Now that is some good TV.
The world ain't ready for that. I am, but the world ain't.
A Misaac?
Isaac:
This is deep south cooking!
also Isaac
Add a little bit of dashi
Lotta Asians in New Orleans ya know ;)
@@giordan131 Not Japanese you stupid idiot. Just big lippers and commies
I'm sure that Louisianans had an ingredient to give savoriness to their boil or jambalaya or whatever, before they learned that Japanese fish stock existed.
@Curly Savv woah too far
@@carltomacruz9138 depends on location tbh. I know some people who would use a couple ham hocks, some people would use like a mix of stock and water, there are probably some other ways too for people deep in the swamps. But we don't use dashi broth, we also don't put the seasonings on after (older people who gotta watch out for extra seasoning) so we put all the seasonings in the water, extra for the potatoes and corn, and we add some lemons cut in half. Cook it all together and stick it in a cooler when done.
You ever feel like one of this guys relatives is on the the run for illegal crocodile breeding
totally
Where tf are there crocodiles in the states?
Woogie Harrelson South Florida is the only place in the states where you can find the American crocodile
Winston Churchill u mean alligator right?😂
@@Auntiewyawitthemperkypills no there are crocodiles in the usa, alligators are just more common
Pulled this together last night with friends. In the video, he shakes only the crawfish, in the recipe it says to shake crawfish with the veggies. I did the latter, and the potatoes peeled and fell apart (maybe a bit over cooked). Anyone else do one or the other? Everything still tasted amazing! Best crawfish I've ever had by a long ways. Thank you, Chef!!
The thumbnail: “I murder people when I’m not cooking crawfish.”
Actual video: nicest most chill chef ever
IM FUCKING DYING XD
I hope for the very best for ya man!
Isaac Toups is the man, love his energy in all his munchies videos
Omg when the music stops and there’s a minor pause where you say “Hard” is so funny
“That one bit me. Garlic Up. Onion Down.” *hits onion with spatula*
🤣
*knife
I lost it at this part, this guy entertains me every time.
Proof that personality is key to standing out
Isaac Toups: OMG what a cute crawfish
**crawfish pinches him**
Isaac: That's it, you're COOKED!
"Knowing is half the battle,The other half?... Violence. :)" isaac is pure gold.
Chef E Dubble: Plating is my favorite part
Chef Toups: Cover the entire table with newspaper
isaac toups needs his own damn show! loved him since FTD!
You can spot it when a chef loves his thing! It's contagious! ❤
Keep spreading that vibe bro!!
You can tell this is a man who truly loves what he does.
Isaac: "If you listen closely you can hear them all screaming."
Me: screaming joyously
I met him at a park a few days ago. He’s a really nice guy and he seems like a great father
Munchies please have Chef Toups share more of his great recipes! I have had the pleasure of having dinner at his great restaurant in New Orleans what a treat.
Man, I ain't never seen nobody boil crawfish indoors.
Faxxx. You gotta boil that shit on the porch or driveway
I've also never seen no body boil the vegetables and crawfish seperate
My mother used to do this some times, and she was from the country outside Opelousas, so you know she was from deep in the sticks.
@@joshdupont2209 each to their own , their no wrong way as long it’s get done
In New England, Lobster boils are almost always inside unless it’s a special occasion like a big party. Never cooked crawfish but why should you outside?
This man is a machine when it comes to kicking out 10/10 Cajun food
I love every video that has Isaac Toups in it. Both his cooking and his antics are top notch. It's also cool to see Clifford working as a producer now!
Solid recipe for some indoor crawfish. It's nice seeing a Cajun chef that actually knows how it's done and does so with the right attitude. Laissez le bon temps rouler.
We started adding whole mushrooms to our boils. Concentrates the spices is a giant way. Love this.
"That one bit me! Garlic up! Onion Down! **whack** Let's go!" I spat my tea out laughing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This guy is comedy gold!
Toups South is a damn fine establishment, with a damn fine bartender, a damn fine chef, and a unique location. The Meatery is equally amazing.
Pamela is hot AF! She's the waitress with the long black hair with bright red streaks. Unless she wasn't working you cannot miss her.
Can't get enough of this chef - definitely my favourite chef on this channel!
This makes me miss my Cajun cookin uncle...
Miss you Uncle Booger.
This is the kinda guy who I’d be so intimidated to work for in a kitchen. Everything he does is quick and efficient. So I know I’d be having an anxiety attack going slow and steady trying to make everything perfect.
This dude is the coolest guy in the world! I'll have a beer with him any day.
Hey you, I don't like you. Have a nice day.
"in the world"? Ahem! You have not met me.

this is my second issac toups video ive seen and he started both with saying i need to have a beer as i cook, and i have never felt better represented by any chef ever
“knowin’s half the battle. and the other half? violence.”
love that
HAHAHAHA!!! This QUICKLY becoming my favorite channel! Lol
This guy changes his accents up so much and he's so good at it!!! 😂😂😂 'specially at 3:45 lol
Please for the love of god put this dude in more vids, I love him
I love Chef Toups, he is awesome. He makes cooking interesting, I subscribed just for him.
He is quite possibly my favorite person.
I remember this guy on F@&$ That's Delicious. I guess some characters stand out.
I could spend a lot of time watching this guy cook. Super entertaining.
This guy is fantastic! I love his personality.
I need to get down to your restaurants and try them out. Boiled up 92#s last weekend. So so good. Love your videos.
Finally TH-cam recommendations actually get something right
Isaac Toups, universally loved
This guy is awesome! So entertaining and real. I’ll have a beer before I watch lol
As a Cajun, we season the actual boil. Not sprinkle the outside of the crawfish with seasoning. When you season the boil itself it makes the crawfish meat spicy and adds flavor.
HrdTime right?! His method made me cringe
But he did actually season the boil...............
Shadowd4rkness you don’t take the crawfish out and cover the shell in seasoning. It should all be done in the water/boil.
Forreal. There was no liquid boil used either. What the hell is going on... and you keep the head of garlic together and use frozen corn to lower the temperature at the end. This is some fuckery if I've ever seen it.
Just watch and he is funny as hell but... I am from Metairie but live in Texas now 😭... Putting seasoning on the crawfish shells is one of the many things I make fun Texas for.... Also, maybe I am just uncultured but I never saw this done in Louisiana before. This was the first comment saying this are we just in the minority here?
I edited my comment so you won’t know why I got so many likes. :)
i didn't find that very funny, kind of twisted frankly
@@urolderbrother, That is creepy because he's boiling this creature's alive.

My grandma made me peel corn and didnt tell me that there where these huge green worms in them. Gurl I was shook
Those're called Corn Borers. They become moths eventually. When I found ears with them in it I would feed those ears to the cows. They never minded.
