Brad Makes Pastrami | It's Alive | Bon Appétit

[@DavefromAccounting]

For everyone wondering where Brad is, he said he hasn't forgotten us and he is coming out with his own channel and series in June 2023

[@fedorvolchkov]

it has been 7 months without “it’s alive” and i was just about to ask, so thank you for your comment - that’s great news!

[@sydneynorman1315]

thank god lol

Good, because this is just the Brad Leone channel for me.

It’s been 4 months now 🥺 this is the official countdown comment.

[@chromakey8321]

Might of just took a break I know he had plans for a show traveling around and wanted to do thing's with Matty but the pandemic was happening. Pretty sure if he was gone there would be a announcement and if this episode is what did him in I doubt it would still be up. Fingers crossed that he is back for the holiday's

[@JetDCalico]

Stumbled across Brad a week ago and I’ve watched every video with him, so around 120 videos? A good run I would say! What am I suppose to do now? Start fermenting? Gonna end up with botulism…

Can we get a Bon Appetit version of Cribs? Just the fact that Brad has a walk-in has me so curious about the rest of the place, not to mention the rest of the chefs.

Think they did something of the sort a while back where the chefs showcased mostly their kitchen and some of the house. … idk if it was here or like insta

[@aoifem4566]

I love how almost nobody is going to go to the effort of cooking this elaborately, yet we still watch just for Brad's eccentricity/hectic nature.

[@JesseCohen]

Gotta be honest here. I’ve been looking for a justification for a smoker/bbq of some sort. And a second fridge. Homemade Texas brisket wasn’t quite enough, but this could just well tip me over.

[@albuseisenhorn3385]

Elaborately? This is the laziest cooking you can do, simple steps, long waits where you live life normally. Whats that saying "set it and forget it"? Brining is so easy, though this is a wet brine which requires a bit of room, you can dry brine all meat for a few hours or days - it will make your meals 10x better. I dry brine all my meat, just get it out the day or two before, salt and cover with paper towel in the fridge voila perfectly seasoned and moist meat no matter what you do to it (except turn it into charcoal lol) esp for pork and chicken that way you can bring it up to a safe temp and still get lovey succulent meat, accidentally had a flareup on the BBQ with that steak no problem its still nice and easy to chew and juicy.

[@n8archy121]

Haha I hate pastrami, but still watched

[@Verlisify]

The Pop tart episode proves this comment wrong. Lots of people use these recipes. Turns out cooking is a really popular thing and this is a really basic recipe

[@aoifem4566]

@@Verlisify I was referring to this specific recipe which although basic, is long and requires equipment many people won't have. Also, lots of people also enjoy watching cooking videos, too. Steady on there, bro. It wasn't a criticism, more, a compliment to Brad and his lovely nature. Your page is entirely gaming videos, so people watch them instead of gaming themselves....see where i'm going here...?

[@TheBat149]

idk brad, you gotta heat the liquid to sterilize it. the whole recipe is pretty unsafe. very unsafe. also it looks like the meat didn't cure at all, just looks like brisket - which is delicious, but just brisket.

[@catherine4091]

There are a bunch of articles warning people not do to this because it will give you botulism lol. He didn't actually cure it, you need nitrites in a higher concentration than the essentially celery juice he used to properly cure the meat and protect against DIY food poisoning.

[@TheBat149]

@@catherine4091 true! I have read up on it now. Very irresponsible on BA's side. Hope the video gets taken down soon

[@IndiaBlackAle66]

No you don't. The meat is heated to above 200. You're not looking for sterilization, I think you might be thinking of pasteurization. Pasteurization (without looking it up) is 160-165 for 1 second to kill 99.99? Something like that.

@@IndiaBlackAle66 I'm referring to the liquid. Boiling it will kill bacteria in the liquid, not sure if sterilization or pasteurisation is the right word

Whenever Brad sees any sort of green liquid he immediately thinks of the ectocooler drink, I swear he’s referenced it like 8 times throughout the years.

[@geerubinstein5240]

A couple of things. Your celery juice “natural” preservative is just good old nitrates. And after seasoning with the pastrami rub, try letting it sit for for five or six days before smoking. And if Katz’s is your measure of good pastrami, you’ve not really setting the bar very high

[@BravissimoPP]

What is in your opinion a bar very high when it comes to pastrami ?

[@horacegentleman3296]

[@AzianRogue]

Why are so many people roasting this recipe? He had success with it and is still alive. Sounds like a win to me.

[@astropgn]

Because he didn't take safety precautions. Yeah, it worked and he is still alive. But that doesn't mean it is safe. For example, if an unsupervised kid, 4 yo, walk on the street and no car comes and runs over then, would you say it is safe to leave a 4yo kid on the street just because that one time they survived? You still need safety because not happening doesn't mean there is no risk.
