This recipe was adapted from the written version visible on screen in the season finale - the only addition was white wine to the braise, since chef's only feedback was that the dish needed acid.

[@edblah]

One note regarding the sauce reduction: boiling the liquid actually destroys that gelatin that was so beautifully extracted. Gelatin denatures above 180 degrees and quite rapidly at a boil, so a gentle simmer in as wide a pan as possible is the best route to maintain that mouthfeel, which is why I have a lamb sauce recipe at work that requires a 22 hour reduction at a bare simmer! (It's a large batch...) Otherwise, a beautiful recipe and a wonderful video.

[@michelle-ve3jb]

I never knew this, thank you for sharing!!

[@dingleberrymore9725]

Really useful info, thanks!

[@gswizzle3714]

So when making a demi glace you want to simmer instead of boil? I was taught that once the bones were removed from the veal stock you could boil the reduction without any loss in quality. From what I could tell it never had any effect on the gelatin, but I could have been taught wrong.

[@skalle1448]

When making Chinese congee, some recipes call for a boiled stock, I believe, resulting in a rather cloudy liquid when assembling the dish. Is that a result of the gelatin having been denatured? The cloudiness, I mean.

I watched one episode of the Bear and couldnt finish it. Not because it was bad (far from it) but reminded me of my time working in a line kitchen for a short period of time and couldnt hack it. Mad respect to commercial chefs, they really are a completely different breed. Made me realize I work better in my own kitchen rather than in the food industry.

Andy, these shorter episodes have been truly fantastic. I'm sure they’re easier to produce on your end, but the nostalgia of quite literally 'simpler days' on your channel present here is amazing. This is so tight and well produced. Please, don't stop!

[@DrButthugger]

Agreed!

[@Leto_0]

lol why do I keep seeing this comment? 90% of his videos are about the same length as this one. Most videos over 10 minutes are not binging with babish videos, they're instructional videos like basics, Kendalls, and Lopez videos. Babish videos never changed, maybe you missed the part where they changed this channel's name to BCU?

[@miabussell0229]

@@Leto_0 Maybe the length is an illusion, but I do feel the videos have been simpler and stripped back recently the recent Seinfeld episode is when I noticed). For a while they were very *tangential*, and more personality led than recipe led--which is fine, but I prefer it in my Botched over my Binging. Whatever the case may be, he's been doing something recently that I really enjoy!

Seeing all the effort that went into making this, the scene where Carmy compliments Sydney on her work feels even more impactful.

You should totally make the TO THE MAX sandwich from Wizards of Waverly place. At the beginning of the episode it says three of the ingredients being mashed potatoes, chicken stripes and peanut butter. But as the episode plays max mentions ham, bologna, Yogurt and gravy. While his dad mentions how Max complained there was TOO MUCH cheese on one and not enough BBQ sauce on another. Then when the guys who are trying it mention they feel like they ate it before mom mentions there's popcorn on it, and lastly you can see the lettuce on it
