Brad Makes Fermented Peanut Butter & Jelly | It's Alive | Bon Appétit

[@bitterbatterdog]

Some people would have left this to die in the production vault. Thank you to whoever let it see the light of day

[@leandervr]

They know we watch it for Brad and Hunzi's editing and it literally doesn't matter what he does.

[@Kagrenackle]

@Nashtark 111 Wow really? That needs to be uploaded ASAP.

[@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609]

I love the description of Brad's videos on Wikipedia: "having been described as 'part cooking show, part travel show, part Pop-Up Video and part continuous blooper reel'." (My life is a continuous blooper reel (my teenage daughter used to sit and look while I cooked (not my forte) to see what I would mess up or "juggle" with), so I find this soothing to watch.) Positively addictive.

[@bodyofhope]

@@leandervr if Hunzi edited together literally any segment of my life, I'm convinced he would cure me of all ills.

I feel like this is a throwback to the original It's Alive videos. So much chaos. I've missed this...

[@james_gamingmd]

Idk, it still just feels different. I love brad but this show just doesn’t feel the same

[@sageandclovers]

@@james_gamingmd I feel like ots because the OG show relied alot on Brad interacting with all the peeps in the test kitchen as well as cooking. It brought alot of comedy and new ideas, now we don't get that part.

[@meowc2368]

I miss him talking to Vinchinzo. Good ole Vinny

[@eightpeoplex]

@@james_gamingmd It's because the old video editor/camera man is no longer with BA (Matt Hunziker). His edits and humor had a significant impact on how much we enjoyed "It's Alive". This new editor doesn't have the same timing, humor, or skill, so this replication is falling flat.

[@MystryDaMachine]

I feel like the fact that Brad messed up the nut butter just makes this that much of a better video. Everything doesn't always turn out right, even for professionals.

[@lelyanra]

It might be better to use buttermilk powder. Whenever I’ve tried to add liquids to homemade nut butters it usually seizes up and gets super thick like this.
