Binging with Babish: The Wire Special

The Wire, when it's not mercilessly killing off characters you've come to love and care about, is a showcase of Baltimore junk food specialities. Lake trout, pit beef, eggs cracked into beers - come for the gritty and heartbreaking depictions of heroin addicts and inner city grade schoolers, stay for the eats!

Babish: "Inferior season 2" Greeks: "This one, no hands no face"

[@spewter]

Season 2 is incredible. It has Omar in court, McNulty undercover at the brothel, D'angelo's prison murder, Avon slaughtering inmates with the bad package, the introduction of The Greek, first appearance of Bunny Colvin, Brother Mouzone's showdown with Omar, Fuzzy Dunlop, the tragic downfalls of Ziggy and Frank. S2 causes a huge shock as we are jolted away from the corners but its essential to understand how Baltimore is infected with drugs on every level. And the decline of the docks shows how post-industrilisation left the city's working class with no where to go, thus drugs fill people's lives. But ultimately I'll defend S2 because the characters and plot of S2 stand alongside the best of The Wire. Inferior my arse!

[@Obiwannabe]

@@spewter I agree season 2 is my favorite season.

[@dissipation]

I'd say its a step down, but still a lot better than a lot of TV out there. It's sort of a testament to how good The Wire is. Even its "worst" is still amazing.

[@Obiwannabe]

@@dissipation Why would you say its a step down? What about the season made you think it was a step down?

[@YaowBucketHEAD]

I personally think that season 2 is great. Plus, it has Tom Waits doing the opening, so there's that. I think season 4? 5? The newspaper "arc" seemed lacking in substance to me. It's been a while since I seen this show, living in Baltimore, I really need to revisit this show. It's neat seeing spots that I pass by on the regular.

[@JeannineThompson]

Totally late to the upload, but I did want to note that I actually made the pit beef. I've been trying to expand what I cook, and deviate from the rut I've found ourselves in (thanks to having to budget like crazy) I found a bottom round roast on sale, and followed the recipe here. (Sans horseradish) It was life changing. Even my kids went for seconds, and one went for thirds! So, uhm...thank you, for this. Seriously, thank you. It was a highlight of my weekend to make an amazingly tasty dish, and it didn't break our budget either. I can't explain how relieving that was, and how much it makes a difference to have a really *nice* meal like that.

Season 2 was the best.

[@rvfharrier]

Glad someone said this, S2 was my second favourite season (after S4) and Frank Sobotka was one of the best characters of the entire series for me. I don't know if it's the heavy shift from S1 that surprised people and made them initially dislike S2, with it not affecting their enjoyment of S3 onwards because after S2 they knew each season would be a different focus?

Rainbow and Speckled/Brook Trout are sometimes served whole or nearly whole, bones-in, and you can roll the meat off the bones and sometimes lift out the entire skeleton. But Lake Trout, which are usually larger and more salmon-sized are typically filleted and served like salmon. You can either use pliers/ heavy tweezers/ hemostat to pull the Y-bones out, or remove that slender section completely with a knife. Lake Trout Y-bones are notoriously stiff and can be dangerous to swallow or ingest.

Given the actual fish used and its similarity to other mild white fish, anyone expecting something like Haddock and then eating virtually any trout is going to be very disappointed. Trout is quite oily and rich. It's much more intensely flavoured than most white fish.

[@scottcrawford3745]

@@brendant19 Definitely a more "gamey" fish with a bit more intensity... Full-flavoured. Yum.

[@namedoesmatter]

Excuse me - “kind of inferior season 2?” It’s the best one! You heathen

[@bonob0123]

incorrect. Boys of summer was the best season.

[@filliposchat6528]

[@brunsta234]

Rend Alsabba I had a real eyelash next to your picture . It was annoying and funny at the same time

[@Chievesan]

Rend Alsabba thx for making my PC screen dirty... fucking dumbass -_-

You didn't say no homo

[@viperretaliation4524]

Ive watched so many of your videos these last days and I hate it. They always make me hungrier than I already am...and I cant make them so I just have to watch you make delicious food

[@davidwilson6577]

>No crab gut >"Kind of inferior season 2" What are you?

[@22z83]

Season 2 is laaaameeee

[@johnfavreauofficial4883]

Make a tur-turkey-key from HIMYM

[@prasgx]

"Please don't....."

[@ZacharyJTaylor]

man, I still haven't watched The Wire, i need to get on that shit.

[@MauiWowieOwie]

You should, it's really fucking good. Like babish mentioned, the second season isn't all that great, but the other four are amazing especially the last two.

[@28Pluto]

People seem to miss the importance and establishing factors of season 2. It is incredibly good, and essential to what The Wire is all about. I think people just complain because it's not what they thought they were going to get. But in hindsight, you get exactly what was needed!

[@hegzia]

MauiWowieOwie without season 2 we would not understand how so much drugs get into Baltimore or even know about The Greek and Sprios. But perhaps most importantly it sets up the fallout between Avon and Stringer.

[@primeup6955]

yea..you bn sleeping too fuckin long bro. grab season 1 and get enthralled from there

[@Detroitdawg1983]

If you can get through the first episode you will be hooked.

[@xavierdireen687]

Never even seen the wire but for whatever reason this is one of my favourite episodes.👌👍

[@micro-babe]

You almost say Baltimore like my college friends. Baldmore lol. For the record, I went to UMBC.

[@annathomas1155]

I have been *waiting* for this episode

[@KalinDtv]

As a Baltimorian, I would love of you could recreate the Baltimore "Chicken Box with Salt Pepper Ketchup"

[@thecianinator]

As a Baltimorean, I have never had this. Where can I get this?

[@KalinDtv]

thecianinator do you live in Baltimore city or county?

[@thecianinator]

Live inside the beltway north of the city line, work near the inner harbor

[@KalinDtv]

thecianinator I would say try Stokos on York road. That's near Towson. You would ask for four wings and fries (Chicken Box) and when they ask if you want anything on it you say Salt Pepper Ketchup.

[@thecianinator]

Right on! I used to order from them all the time, I'll have to dig out that menu. Thanks!

[@jordyndakotaross6871]

Was just falling asleep to his voice 😂 thank gods he reads bed time stories

[@ryanlopez3349]

A little late, but I'm so proud of Babish for saying Baltimore right

[@ylime37]

ooooo please do gumbo or beignets from princess and the frog!! or both!! :)

[@thedimpleschannel7217]

Emily K my foods

[@jessicabraud3307]

I really want him to, but at the same time I don't lol. I've gotten too used to people that don't live in Louisiana messing up Gumbo or beignets.

[@robertadamsx2]

Well, now your prayers are half answered.

[@cabbage_patch_child]

That mushroom gumbo in a pumpkin looked good I wanna know if it tasted good

[@instanthellmurder1]

How are you gonna do The Wire and not make crab cakes?

[@Stiglr]

Faidleys!!!!! Mrs. McNulty didn't raise no fools! :D

[@arisadolly7148]

My father would make his home made potato fries then use a paper bag to salt them. It was fun when he put them in the bag, salted them and told us to vigorously shake the bag. R.I.P. dad.

[@quincee3376]

Babish' voice is so soothing. I love his videos.

[@MarioVergara8192]

Hey, Andrew! Continue making videos! I really love this channel, it is pretty relaxing. Have luck with Binging with Babish!!! ;)

New subscriber! You don't do the intro anymore? Hey baby I hear the blues are calling tossed salads and scrambled eggs lol

[@filliposchat6528]

I have noticed that too. It was a nice intro

[@MorganMagpie]

It always makes me want to watch frasier...

[@KHOmega]

Himani U Most likely due to copyright reasons

[@TheKos2Kos]

I don't usually watch these because babish and I clearly dont watch the same things. But I'm a huge wire fan. Just finishes rewatching it during corona quarantine

[@thetriforceeagle8161]

I never would have guessed that you filmed that late, your studio lighting looks very natural

[@Char12403]

But one of the most memorable scenes from The Wire was the crab scene.

[@hegzia]

Charmanderaznable you gonna waste that crab gut?

[@99_Planet]

Do Kendrick Lamar's *syrup* *sandwiches*

[@kvlen]

LegendOfJefta It’s not much of an episode just pouring syrup on bread. That’s it
