"Is there anything worse than deli egg salad" Deli potato salad.

[@Debilitator47]

Deli macaroni salad.

[@tom_something]

If I understand correctly, the longer the middle word is, the worse the thing is. Deli congratulations salad is even worse.

[@robrick550]

Deli antidisestablishmentarianism salad is what the most horrible nightmares are made of. Satan himself recoils at just the smell of it.

[@NineteenEightyFive]

Debilitator47 yes, as in commercially prepared. Inedible.

[@humanormachine2936]

Deli chicken, tuna, and macaroni salad are god awful as well.

[@nicolle2126]

This guy cooking in his suit makes me think he just wants to leave me immediately after filming. Stay with me while i make my egg salad suit man (derogatory)

[@bobina77777]

he has to go and lay more eggs

[@Baiko]

Cooking in a suit is basically consolidating the two aspects of being the editor-in-chief of a big name new york food magazine.

[@PinkPisces]

😂😂

[@oltedders]

Mr. V Absolutely not! Put your egg salad on raisin bread if you must have raisins.

[@angelahagerman5693]

LIke, dash and go? lol

[@OtakumaENY99]

A tip for those who use dill-> use a ceramic knife or your fingers to cut/tear it. When dill is exposed to the metal it browns

[@MsRose00]

hmm why is that?

[@sonyamartin6226]

Interesting .😳😳😳really wow!! .thank you for that sis..

[@franciscoleyva4413]

Solid cook on the egg. Pretty good seasonings on the salad, extra points for seasoning the tomato and cucumber. -1 for the weak fade. 8/10.

[@Korncakes1]

Francisco Leyva absolutely awful fade.

[@julianschaper178]

Thank you

[@eplain222]

He doesn't know what he's doing. Onion, Horseradish and Celery do not belong anywhere near an egg salad. He should use a dry mustard, just changing the mustard for the sake of change isn't always the best thing to do either. It's just all wrong. He missed one very KEY ingredient.....fresh parsley. a must. He needs to back to school

[@CLSQWUN]

🤣

[@liquidpersuasion]

trailer park fade

[@blancairisrobles4373]

Who cares if he wants to show his recipe in a suit? What is wrong with people being so critical? Why don't you lighten up and just enjoy the recipe; Isn't that what it's all about? If not, then just move on. Thank you, Mr. Bon Petit. I enjoyed the recipe.

[@buffedtrainer1]

No, you need to chill out dude.

[@MySonsMother]

You never want the decor to outshine the purpose of the video. This is serious competition here. I love a classy suit and also the classy shirt. Oh, wait. I've never cared that much about egg salad, but this looks delish.

[@Goo4You135]

Oh man, Friday, I really wanted an egg salad sandwich and I was just obsessing about it and I was like, 'Man, I'm gonna make one of those.' So Saturday, I went out and got, like, a dozen eggs and then I boiled them all and I just, I spent, I dunno, probably three hours, like three and a half hours making, you know, the mayonnaise, and the onions and paprika and, you know, the necessary accoutrement. And then, by the time I was done, I didn't really feel like like eating it.

[@nalabluemovies]

ParkyRich awesome lmao

[@PancracioProductions]

(40 year old virgin)

[@WigganNuG]

WTF! Now, I'm on of the THE slowest cooks on the planet, but I cannot for life of me figure out how you took 3 or more hours to cook egg salad! Even if you ACTUALLY made mayo from scratch it would not take that long to make egg salad. What the hell were you doing?

[@Kyarrix]

ParkyRich How could you possibly have spent 3 hours? Even if you made the mayonnaise from scratch, and ground The Mustard Seed yourself, boiling the eggs takes 10 minutes, peeling them and chopping them takes another 15 or 20 minutes total at most, the rest of the prep if you're going very slowly could take another 15 minutes tops. How could you have spent 3 hours?

[@rogue0007]

been there, done that haha

[@2NE1972000]

Who came here cuz he resigned?

[@jasonmanan3754]

Meee

[@rottenstench]

I'm here to learn how to make egg salad

[@tonyjohnson3717]

I was never a big fan of him or molly's segments but I'm trying to find good egg salad recipes.

[@chefdan87]

Are we supposed to know who he is?

[@Cweets]

@@chefdan87 real ones do

[@linoleumbreathmint]

step one: put egg on face step two: resign

[@irenequidachay3609]

Why did he resign?

[@zyborgeshwifty709]

Irene Quidachay he dressed up in brown face for Halloween and under paid black/ poc chefs.... there are tons of articles about it.

[@nickyricardo7034]

Who even is he?

[@ginabangser4837]

This egg salad is everything I've ever dreamed of! I literally use The same exact recipe down to The sesame bagel. The only thing I do differently is whip the yolks to enhance the mayo and mustard, adds a ton of body to the dressing. Love this.

[@troy9477]

Great idea on the horseradish- never thought of that. I usually use mayo, brown mustard (i'll try dijon), parika, seasoned salt and pepper, and dried dill if i have it. Good idea on the celery and leaves- i will definitely try that. Maybe some finely diced sweet onion. Good recipes always get me thinking

[@Michelleiscul]

This just came up on my recommended, and I gotta say... WOW, the editing was SO different back then! I'm glad they changed [for the better], lol.

[@Lily-tj1zo]

Dill+horseradish+dijon+egg+mayo+chive?... This guy *definitely* knows what's up....

[@mastersomething203]

I’ve never wanted egg salad more in my life.

[@MsRose00]

Right?! I don’t even like egg salad and I’m here salivating.

[@LarryOfilms]

Yeah egg salad has always been meh to me but that looks delicious.

[@ericahow55]

Yup, Just tried this recipes. Thanks for the idea of 8 mins chunky egg instead of mushy eggs. Its taste amazing refreshing without onions. Totally a game changer.

[@subi_legacy]

ok

[@jrzzrj]

I boiled eggs your way for 1st time.....Perfect...never heard of that method before....saved heating fuel and time...My recipe varied a bit from yours (suited to my taste)...I was so satisfied.....Took me all of 10 minutes from peeling eggs, mixing in mayo, garlic salt and a tad of mustard..... to spreading on sandwich.......and enjoying........Thank you Adam...JRZ

[@mrxman581]

America's test kitchen introduced that method years ago. Full proof and you dont get that ugly green ring around the yolk.

[@haroldhenderson2824]

Good to see the Editor-in-chief actually cooking. Adding his own twist.

[@kalashnikovdevil]

Japanese Mayo is a secret weapon for anything like this. Tuna salad, egg salad, you name it.

[@ryansanteful]

most in the comment section wonders why this guy is cooking wearing a coat, and i'm just here like, why the hell not!?

[@kaiju_k5042]

he owns and runs Bon Appetit

[@oltedders]

Duebrick His staff did the work.

[@Kyarrix]

Because it's uncomfortable and inconvenient to cook in your $500 suit jacket? If you get something on it that's it. Take off your jacket, push up your sleeves and put an apron on.

[@charmedprince]

@Duebrick I like your pfp. Will copy it for a concept photography soon

[@SquidCena]

@@oltedders no they didn't idiot

[@isabelamontgomery9182]

I have tried this recipe and it was phenomenal! I used to say I hate egg salad.. but not anymore. This is my favorite recipe.

[@abbeytaylor]

Also, I'd like to say that a lot of you who have commented on this video are rude. It's an egg salad recipe how-to video from someone who really loves what he does. No need to be mean and nasty just because you don't think you'll like it. Have some respect!

[@cameronmcisaac633]

I like to watch people eat egg salad sandwiches when I’m depressed. Also this music helps.

[@nataliaalfonso2662]

I make egg salad quite similar to this. Love it with a slightly undercooked egg.

[@superawesomestar123]

I hate celery in egg salad, so I really like to make my egg salad with sweet pickle relish. It adds that same crunch factor but the sweetness really helps balance the creamy richness of the mayo and egg yolk. I'm not too sure how it would pair with the horseradish, but I'm not a big fan of horsey anyway

[@robertbailey482]

That would be a different recipe.

[@lindaszatkowski321]

Sounds and looks delicious

[@sbrownson6155]

that's a Julia Child trick for cooking the perfect egg. At least that's the first place I've ever seen it.

[@MaryJaneHancock]

Delish! Thank you. I used an egg substitute & mayonnaise substitute. Thank you for posting.

[@Rose-Rae]

Wow he read my mind. Hes my brother from another mother. This egg salad rocks!

[@sootherbs]

sold! cant wait to try this

[@gtochld11]

that looks seriously legit. i wanna try it!!

Keeping them chunky was a game changer. Thank you sir!!

[@paolabueso]

This recipe looks delicious! Thank you so much for sharing it.

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

Eight reasons for starting with Adam and the recipe for egg salad. ONE voice clarity. Two instructions using brevity. THREE. Egg definition for cooking Four brilliant delivery FIVE. Great presentation SIX Outstanding taste SEVEN complete delight EIGHT. Delicious

[@barneyfife8630]

“Oh, you fancy huh?”🤣😂

[@tizhead]

cant stop making this. very awesome

[@natedagreat95]

Wow how have I never thought of doing an 8 minute egg for egg salad. Thank BA

[@kriswong9295]

amazing egg salad!! loved everything about this. Made it earlier and it was delicious. Thank you for this recipe!

[@JinxD2173]

I love dill in my egg and potato salad, but I feel shocked to have lived on this earth for 30 yrs withOUT trying horseradish... looks so good!

[@Eric-kf6dy]

how can onion be too assertive of a flavor yet horseradish is not ?

[@tonyazaborac9854]

Right 😕😂😂😂

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

The odor of onion lingers as opposed to horseradish, which has bite and heat but not too much in the way of longevity on the palate. Personally I like onion, shallots and chives in egg salad. But a lot of people out there don't want onion breath!

[@Eric-kf6dy]

Thanks Justin, that makes sense. I am still partial to egg & olive salad from my childhood.

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

+Eric Lewis That sounds marvelously tasty. Very try capers? I think that capers in an egg salad would be pretty fantastic.

[@johnking7902]

I like to add a nice can of wet cat food to my egg salad. Yummy!

How many eggs do you need to use and how much mayo do you need?

" is there anything worse than deli egg salad " you

[@jasonmanan3754]

😂😂

😆BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHLOL

[@muskot2]

Finally someone said it. 8 minute eggs are where its at!!

[@chickennugget6233]

Lol I love this guy's personality

[@Vector_Ze]

It's so funny, every recipe that calls for boiled eggs spends half the time saying how to do it, with as many opinions on the subject as there are chefs/cooks. I don't boil mine at all, I steam them in a large vegetable steamer. Bring the steamer water to a boil before lowering the covered tray into place. Steam for 12-13 minutes, then immerse in cool tap water (dribbling to keep cool) for 6 minutes before peeling. No ice, no boiling eggs. Peel great. And, if you've read this, you've heard yet another person's way of cooking eggs in the shell. Hard to call them hard-boiled...well, there is boiling water involved. I find it odd that I seem to be the only person on Earth who does it this way, it works so well.

[@ornelasmarta100]

Love the suit! Love the gourmet egg salad recipe! 😉

[@grownupgoth]

Still makes an amazing sandwich thanks BA 🤤🤩

[@benrussell4493]

Remove egg shells with a tablespoon. Crack it and just push the shell with the spoon and it’ll come off real easy 👌😊

[@sayurik]

Awesome recipe! Would try it out but would switch the normal Mayo to Japanese mayo 😋

[@Albert_Herring]

Excellent. I mean, egg salad.

[@elidahernandez3675]

Looks perfect!

[@AlphaWolf096]

I prefer mine with a bit of honey in it. I know it sounds weird, but it really isn’t when you remember that honey mustard is a thing. I can’t and won’t eat egg salad without it, because I gag if it doesn’t have a bunch of mustard and/or a bit of honey. Lighter and milder honeys, like Sunflower or Clover honey, tend to work best for egg salad. That way, the honey can bring in some sweet notes, without overpowering the other flavors.

[@vincenzosplate]

Hi Adam/Bon appetit, I went out and purchased all the ingredients.....now can we get some measurements? How much mayo, how many eggs? Some of us aren't natural cooks.

[@jacklobeck9656]

rip

[@rebeccan5675]

use as many eggs as you want and add mayo until the eggs just combine and it isn't overly mushy and coated

[@alexxchavezee]

You should learn to estimate, add a little then taste. You can always add more, but you can't take from.

[@tom_something]

Probably 38R, 32x30".

When in doubt, "add to taste". Start with a little then keep adding a little till you like how it tastes.

It's not our problem if you don't have a good taste for food, honey. Keep it to your miserable self

[@GetUrPhil]

The same way I like my eggs. I cook them both ways, by adding to boiling water or adding them into water before boil but I've never taken them off the stove when the water started to boil. I used to eat a lot of eggs and had it down pat to the right amount of time for both ways of boiling eggs.
