Holy shit Nick, do us all a favour and donate all your suits to charity.

[@bigpapi3636]

Had this at Galatoires in 1975. Incredible stuff. It compares with the Snapper soup they served at Bookbinders in Philadelphia. Best turtle soup ever was at a restaurant in Louisiana about 2 miles off I-10 near Lake Charles. The place didn't have a sign out front and was on a dirt road. The food was incredible and the Creole waitress was miss universe quality beautiful!

[@stewartedwards1758]

My personal favorite is at The Palace Cafe. If you are in town it is worth the stop in.

[@potatotrooper]

Anyone notice how they showed the common red-eye turtle in photos, but not snapping turtle.. ?

[@PTExp]

Please revive this show. It might be the best of its class on KZbin.

[@shuboy05]

This must be the Shredder's favorite soup.

[@futiousstyles3315]

Ohh he made the threat a few times..

[@Mrcharles.]

It’s also Kari’s favorite as well but without the mutation.

[@mrliquiman]

The picture shown isn't the American Snapping turtle that's a red eared slidder

[@sixyears]

Yeah I knew some thing was up. I was like wait American Snapping turtles look kinda like Godzilla or something from godzilla.

[@DrgPutra]

Thats what i think when saw that pic (_ _``)

[@78LedHead]

Beat me to it. And I've never heard of anyone eating that form of a slider. Only snapping turtle. Not a fan of turtle, btw. Too swampy.

[@mikemurdoch9653]

Lol yep

[@davidmartin2626]

I am confused. The traditional turtle is the diamondback terrapin, that was used in soups. The owner said it was the Snapping Turtle, which has certainly been used in the south, but I do not believe it was wide spread commercially. Then Eater showed the painted turtle. wtf? What kind of turtle was this?

[@bubsnaps1265]

those were red eared slider turtles that were shown on the log

[@chrisvannn759]

Screw the truth, I have views.

[@ShabbaRanksMF]

It’s just turtle. Isn’t that sick enough?

[@jaredbarousse8855]

It's definitely snapping turtle in Louisiana.

[@popcornt111able]

I am disturbed by the lack of funk

[@stefanod8360]

Me too but the velvety sheen made me all giddy

[@ashraf5336198]

brine and gamey, the only two words he loves

[@Life-Row-Toll]

_Looks great, thanks!_

[@user-kg8ns4jd9h]

Very elegant restaurant Jonny and if you’re not in the game or the moment she becomes the past.

[@ThePleasanthill]

A true taste of heaven turtle soup is great

[@henrywieser9614]

[@Cellmate412162]

[@Mrcharles.]

That’s hilarious but I think you’re right about that.

[@pitied3744]

[@omargonzalez2641]

I really enjoy this dude.

[@gab.lab.martins]

"It tastes like duck and chicken." So... why not eat duck and chicken?

[@anarchostalinprimitividiag1030]

Gabriel Martins Keyword: "Like"

[@notnotricharmander]

Gabriel Martins why eat duck and chicken when it tastes like turtle?

[@elephantphantnene8181]

Hmm some country eat their pest...like softshell turt/frog/snake/rats..but when you put it on the restaurant they cant stop comparing it to other cultured meat

[@romansfitnesschannel2360]

Richard Liang great comeback. This made my day

[@MrEliazar27]

[@surewin1773]

[@AsfandAli]

You're good very good.

[@carrrexx7190]

Velvety Sheen. That's Charlie's brother, right?

[@AnarchoShark]

"we take American snapping turtles" *shows pictures of red eared sliders*

[@rohankamath88]

But where is the maillard reaction? There's no umami or funk today. Just some plain old velvety sheen and the bold body of the gamey briny turtle. Sheesh... What a rip off!

[@TheDarwiniser]

See a doctor, youve developed an unnatural obsession.

[@MrSpeedyAce]

Can you make a tuhtle buhgeh?

[@CyclonexxxIce]

Why is Nick wearing a picnic blanket?

[@the99thtimelord16]

Gordon Ramsay would not have approved sending out that bowl.

[@marcuscicero9587]

oh well fck the great Gordon Ramsay and his whole pretentious country

[@marcuscicero9587]

everything looks delicious except the egg. I guess they finish the soup with egg, so Galatoires , it would seem, could delete the chopped egg. the bread looks very pleasing as well.

[@jakechirichello7516]

Thats a snaping turtle lmqo

[@bezaabiy5945]

is nick a veteran?

[@ivanttosuckyourblood]

If you ever drop by Singapore, come try our turtle soup. Bring your best brandy

[@tobybelize]

0:58 are we talking about alligators or turtles?

[@samnowland4679]

I guess people wanna slip in booze wherever they can lol.

[@LEE-kq9tq]

There's just something so wrong to me about eating reptiles. I guess it's just b/c I didn't grow up eating it so don't find that meat to be "normal".

[@t8506]

you've never tried cat you attention seeking loser

[@t8506]

Marcel Rodriguez Sure... kid... Time for me to get back to being the CEO of Nasa... lmao

[@mark-ys6lg]

[@RBuckminsterFuller]

UK symbol for remembering the dead in WWI, worn on Remembrance Day.

[@mark-ys6lg]

RBuckminsterFuller I know that but I didn't think they would of filmed this video around remembrance day

[@mikemurdoch9653]

Can you get really sick from eating turtle? Do the carry parasites?

[@zulronden7328]

not 1 of those were a snapping turtle in the pic mostly red ear slider but the best way to have snapping turtle is to take the legs, neck, tail, and loins lightly cover in flour slice up a onion put it in a pan on high put the turtle on the onion and sear both sides then put on low for about 2 1/2-3 hour till ur fork doesnt stick and then add some milk and flour to grease in the bottom of the pan and make a gravy and put it over rice and mashed potatos

[@jerveealmarinez4914]
