[@ShakespeareanBroncobuster]

Brad singlehandedly keeps the Bon Appetit KZbin page alive. There are other entertaining personalities, but he carries the bunch. I hope he continues to be fun, humble, and inquisitive. That’s what we love to see.

[@zizzie4081]

I would add Rhoda. Those 2 are BA's only hope

[@cryocum1583]

Love and adore Brad, but Chris has his moments as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@RollwiththeBull]

Careful, last time the others found that out they had to find a whole new crew lol

[@Crims0nSamurai]

Andre Mack has breathed new life into the channel as well!

[@lw3894]

I Agree

[@echtel1293]

I love how Andrew was chill and calm the entire time talking and explaining but gets really excited after Brad's good net throws. What a good passionate man

[@Glukh]

Brad is getting real comfortable on the water, this is like the 20th episode on a boat!

[@ballchinian911]

Wourder

[@ZurinArctus0]

He is the wourder lord

We need Brad to do a Louisiana crawfish boil episode.

[@blaiseleonards4255]

I can help with that, own several crawfish ponds. Just fished first bunch of the season this past week

[@jharj4]

bring Matty Matheson along

[@benkirkland5354]

As long as they pronounce boil as “bowl” instead of “boyal”, I’ll approve.

[@Tykeronia]

@@jharj4 If I have to choose between Matty and Isaac Toups I'm gonna have to have Matty sit this one out

[@deladoescoolstuff]

so he can boil more animals alive!

[@kidcudifanclub5863]

Great episode this guy was very knowledgeable and loved that he credited the people that were there before him keep it up Brad 👌🏼

[@blaiseleonards4255]

I own several crawfish ponds here in Louisiana. Just fished first bunch of the season this past week, lets get it alive! Also can get you with a captain of a shrimp boat

All, let's get Brad to see this!

[@nathan_desilva]

Maybe toss in some snapper and drum fishing too

[@Magnificent86]

@blaise Can I come visit?

[@hxnbe]

Yessss It's Alive for finals season break time!! My whole family sat and binged a bunch of It's Alive to get into the Thanksgiving mood, might have to make that a tradition!

[@chriss3886]

Brad is great in this video series. His enthusiasm for seeing and doing new things is great. Way better than the over rehearsed and scripted major network shows.... AND props the editor and production team for great animations and humorous tags.

[@maggiekloske3230]

"Come and let's play together, in the bright shiney weather!" This was such a great episode and Alex is a top notch guy. Love watching people I'd want to spend the day fishing with.

[@Rirruto]

Glad to hear Andrew acknowledge the local Native Americans as well as the Gullah people and their influences on the region's cuisine.

[@Boedayshus]

Andrew is an awesome dude. Would love to have a beer with him and cook up some mo' country boil.

[@katiesumner4537]

I use to live in Hilton Head and Hudson’s was always my favorite place to eat. Seeing how wonderful the owner is makes me so glad that’s where I tell everyone to eat down there!

[@hm4862]

Andrew was so cool and nice. Love to see it.

[@buffster948]

00:44 We should totally have competitions to clock the number of times "Wourder" is used in the Brad episodes. Makes me laugh every time. 💛😂💛

[@marylandlax3]

Man I went down to South Georgia for my first year of college and was introduced to low country boils, got my family to come down and try it, they’ve all been so in love with the dish we’ve been doing them for special occasions for almost a decade, best one in my opinion is crawfish, shrimp, andouille, shrimp, corn on the cob, red potatoes, and the freshest crab you can find. Blue, stone, king, etc, doesn’t matter which just make sure it’s high quality, and if it’s too expensive then just ditch it! Best part is you get to eat like a barbarian lol

[@jacobgutwill7802]

And more shrimp

[@Megabooy1]

I don't know why but when he just yelled "what bird is that" and someone actually anwsered that made me a little happy inside

[@jasonbuckedy5846]

Andrew is my new fave. Soo much knowledge, so much love for his world. I want to buy him a bunch of beers, sit on a boat, and just listen.

[@Deathday189]

I've been watching Brad since the beginning of time and the things he does inspires me to do what I do today. May God bless him & his family 👪 🙏

[@madiramos710]

Brad is just pure vibes. I LOVE it.

[@michaels1326]

This was great. I've never seen shellfish steamed like that, on the metal slab covered in soaked burlap. Too cool.

[@actrojan]

Growing in the Central Valley of California, we used to do this in the canals and rivers. My Pops actually made these nets by hand and we would catch any and everything... Fish Fry/Crawdad boils for days! Also, nice technique for a beginner, Brad. Homeboy Andrew is a great teacher/historian!

[@nattkhan]

I'm in the valley in CA and we love fishing. Where would you go fishing normally for a good catch? So far the best results we've had were with deep sea fishing, not lake

[@WiseAlbatross]

I love seeing Brad on a field trip. Bon Appetit

[@nathan-fh8hp]

Dude this guest is so kind and thoughtful.

Also the fact that Brad gets more and more tanned thru the video is top tier

[@cmleavey]

Love Andrew’s energy!

[@Carsonthecarsinogen]

When is brad taking over this channel? He’s got to be at least 50% of the reason people sub

[@freezeframeplease]

better question: when is brad leaving BA to make his own channel

[@freezeframeplease]

and hire vinny back

[@Carsonthecarsinogen]

@@freezeframeplease he’s probably on a contract unfortunately, but imagine brad and ba editor on their own channel !! Instant 1mil subs, ba should do a spin off if they were smart

BA definitely knows this so they must be paying him $$$. he recently bought a house in connecticut so he must be making bank!

[@joshwilliams8863]

@@allistar34 Kind of ironic when you remember the reason for losing some of their best content creators was because of paying white people more than POC's. I certainly don't blame him, but it's just curious.

In NC and only months with an R, I've kept 6 essentials on hand at all times when it comes to steamed oysters : 1.) Saltines 2.) Texas Pete 3.) Lighter 4.) Roll of Paper towels 5.) half a dozen oyster knives filed down or a 112 which I find easiest to use 6.) Lemons--- Cooler of Beer is a given of course.

One of my best memories is camping out in Wiggins SC and going out on a boat at sunrise to catch shrimp around the marshes for breakfast

[@WinnieThePooh333]

I just want to add one thing about the stone crab, he said they just break off the claw and it regenerates so they might catch the same stone crab 4 times in its live, but studies show over half of all stonecrabs die after losing their claw and being released back.

[@richardg8651]

Thank you . I always wondered about that . Sort of like the mortality rate of pest animals caught in live traps and dumped miles and miles away . Most don't survive but WE like to fool ourselves into thinking we didn't kill them but generously released them back to nature. Not so .

[@horizonfios]

That study was found to be false with only 10% not regrowing

[@Mastodon6889]

Brad Leone and Claude Debussy, never thought I'd see that combination haha

Goldens use to make those syrup kettles down in Columbus GA. We use to have one of them and a cane mill that was on my grandfather's farm. They started making them again as fire pits during the pandemic. I saw it on a news segment not to long ago. Wonder if this one is one of the antique ones or one of the new ones.
