2:29 hold up let me clean your seat [proceeds to clean his beard ] 😂😂😂

[@jbasti227]

He's hilarious lmao one of the reasons I enjoy his recipe videos so much is his goofy humor

[@apothecurio]

I caught that😂

[@ptdt413]

Nailed it, crying :))

[@dandaddavi]

7:28 "No-one can fire me!" That's the most iconic statement an individual can make. Everyone should take notes. Much respect brotha. Keep it pushing!!!

[@garystewart3110]

well the customers can fire him : ) not saying they would, but that's what it is being a business owner. you always have thousands of bosses.

[@mrdaym]

@@garystewart3110 Yes. But you will never have one single power-tripping asswipe firing you.

[@abas43091]

"Great musician, good chef, decent wrestler" A quote that gentleman should have on his headstone.

[@RamnaViaz]

Boss walks in: "I'm too drunk to cook the pork chops" Girl in the kitchen: got it! Me: are you hiring at this place? I would like to apply for a job please.

[@ithinkurf]

Almost exactly how I got my first kitchen job.

[@Destructionaire]

Fuckin classic

[@boogiedownnyc]

Judging by how quick she said got it I think he does that pretty often

[@nodeloliver6201]

Shut up... I want that job! .... I saw it first... I'm just jealous, I'm sorry.

[@johnnytsunami3695]

Worked in hospitality in NOLA can confirm this is common

[@_foodwrap_]

"this is for television, stop" "oh oh oh mommy says stop" 😂😂

[@Syphyllchris]

He was definitely the most hammered follow ever on night out.. Lol

[@EKwisnek]

Christopher Bobbin no way, Han Dynasty's episode has him beat by a country mile!

[@batman4452]

Guy can hang with me.... I would get along with Isaac Toups very well lmao.

[@MrD0ped]

"lemme fix your seat"

[@Syphyllchris]

Luc clean*

[@jadepflug2312]

Bahahaha! 😂🤣

Her reaction means that happens on the regular lol

[@dayoldeggplant]

If you're gonna say it, quite it properly....are you fucking deaf???

[@xstrumzz]

I live around the block from Toups meatery, I’ve gone often enough for the staff to know me at this point and I’ve had 2 good sit downs in there with Isaac over a beer and I will confirm he’s like this all the time.

[@conburgundy]

I love how he knows that his wife is rational and listens to her instantly 😂

[@chrisdooley6468]

She definitely wasn’t playing with that ‘let me clean your seat’ remark lol

[@camvahdati]

“MOMMA SAYS STOP” 🤣

[@jasonruka1665]

We know what’s up when we got a good woman brother….

[@foreignhour2388]

When you got a gorgeous, amazing woman like that in your life (I’m lucky to have one myself) you’ll listen to anything she says! 😂❤

[@PhantomSavage]

Well one things for sure, if you work in his kitchen you will eventually get an opportunity to shine. Imagine filling orders for half the night on your own and then the stoned out head chef comes back to the counter and loudly proclaims "WELP, I'M TOO DRUNK TO FRY THE PORKCHOPS... YOU DO IT, MAKE IT SNAPPY, MAKE IT LOOK EPIC" ".... Yes, Chef."

[@megabarf20]

This dude seems cool af

[@blakesikes7664]

he’s the best cook man

[@gammaxana]

I’d have a beer with him

[@AZIONG651]

I know right, he reminds me of my uncle. Same kind of humor and quick wit, before he went crazy on us.

[@tomjenkins8151]

I've decided i wanna party with isaac toups before i die

[@lukeperry8407]

This man has quickly become one of my favorite Food Personalities. Dudes electric.

[@KTL5637]

I know this is old, but if you havent seen him on Top Chef, it's worth a watch.

[@ArcturianLessons]

dudes a tesla

[@rastachandolo9766]

“Hold on , Let me clean off your seat “ Wife - 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@JoeBlow_4]

Isaac Opens the van door: "Hold up, let me clean up your seat." ....wipes mustache Amanda: "Stop it. Priceless.

[@hibachi4491]

That was a surprisingly eloquent toast at the end for someone as drunk as he was

[@Thehypejawn]

I'm still pissed this guy didn't win top chef! But I'm going to this mans restaurant when visit New Orleans this summer

[@walter7054]

How was it?

[@OVRDSE]

More of this guy MUNCHIES What a cool dude would be a cool host 😎

[@Laurboy97]

I remember this guy from Fuck that's delicious, where him and Action were cooking together

[@MrMatarSaad]

Yup, he cooked Lamb neck for Action

[@coopercollette8414]

The only reasons I would want to be a chef is to have cool friends like these. All of these chefs night out videos make me smile!

[@pumpmykicksbitch1]

This guys fucking great. Give the man a show!

[@spanishkev4749]

Sick this that big guy from one of action Bronson's episode on fuck that's delicious lambs neck hahaha

[@mrrjh5609]

Jeremy M it is

[@samholder196]

he fucks around, gets wild, but immediately listens to his wife good man

[@loganyoung2408]

I’d love to see Toups do a travel food show like Bourdain.

[@mandyg5444]

I can’t believe as long as I’ve known who Isaac Toups is I’ve never seen this before?? This makes me love him even more. He honestly should’ve won top chef his season. Which proved he could cook with the Top Chefs in the country and smoked them all. Isaac’s ego is confidence. That says he’s a damn fine chef. Not a soy boy. He’s always been one of my favorite chefs on that show. The man is insanely talented and has a very needed sense of humor.

[@jasonk1891]

"Momma says stop." Glad to know even Isaac Toups has to follow the wise words of the wife.

[@doggieGZ]

"No don't worry here's a pork chip sandwich". Solves any problem

[@joshuagumpert8910]

Accuracy level 100

[@andrejslv4192]

I made his gumbo today. Amazing. Glad I found such a national treasure

[@zavs350]

I've seen so many people rave about that recipe. Am now def gonna try it

[@osioda1915]

This is the classiest night of fun I've ever seen.

[@noworriesimfijian]

Man that food looks amazing and most probably tastes bloody delicious. Great to see Chef Isaac and his crew cutting loose. Would love to visit his restaurant and New Orleans as well as the other establishments they went to.

[@rooneye]

Toups seems a really genuine fun loving nice guy, man. Such a cool chill funny dude.

[@dingbat99]

“Whiskey! Bring me whiskey! Bring me lots of whiskey! Bring me whiskey fast!” Toups is the fucking man

I have been going though KZbin and trying all of his dishes. All of them have been bangers.

One hour up and they already have more views than 2 of our most delicate videos combined. Congratulations!!! If you ever want to make an austrian spin-off show, maybe when we are a bit more known, hit us up. We cook Kaiserschmarrn, Rindsroulade, etc. - You're viewers will love it
