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
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…
Do it man, see so many people on here saying they just watch the videos and never make anything, but I don’t understand how. Start with something easy like the hot honey
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
Honestly, Brad 10/10 as usual, but what caught my atention this time was the very accurate and thought out descriptions of stuff happening in the captions. Someone give that person a raise
Not sure if this is sarcasm but that video was taken down because the method produces results that were unsafe for consumption... Just like this video. Please do not make this. People have already gotten sick trying to make this.
@@thisisacat1429 it seems like they have some pretty major filtering set on their YT comments or they’re deleting. brad’s insta has a ton more comments calling them out.
Been a vegetarian for over 10 years with zero interest in ever eating meat again yet here I am watching every single video with brad, meat or not. He’s just too great to miss. Come back to Montana!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
@@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...?
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.
I'm a simple man, I see a video with Brad Leone, I hit like before I even watch the video. He is by far my spirit animal lol and I have one of his signature knives and I absolutely love it!
Depends where you shop: Smart & Final 14lbs of beef brisket for approx. $60. Whole Foods, Grass Fed, etc. would be considerably more. Smaller pieces are also going to be more per pound.
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.
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
Not to put too a fine of a point on it, the nitrate in pink salt is every bit as natural as the nitrate in celery juice. The pink salt is infinitely more consistent than celery juice.
There is no way that there are only a couple people calling him out for his outlandish and absolutely dangerous ways of making food. This is totally absurd. They’ve gotta be deleting comments or something, because I know not everyone is like “wow brad you’re so awesome and so safe in the kitchen, love you!”
Been watching Brad for a while but the other day my friend asked me if I heard about the Bon Appetite pastrami scandal and after looking into it I’m shocked this video is still up. And to be honest before I heard about this I was planning on making some of the recipes but now I’m definitely gonna steer clear.
Hi Brad. I'm a native Korean living in a rural Korean city. You taught me how to make kimchi not my mom. Now teach me how to make jeotgal please so I can be a better Korean.
how do you look at the sliced end product and think “that’s just the brine doing that sickly awful color, definitely not this oxidized mess of bacteria, it looks great”
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
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!
thank god lol
Good, because this is just the Brad Leone channel for me.
Thank the gods
Came to check, good to hear. Will it be on this channel?
Brad is literally the ONLY reason I’m still subscribed to Bon Appetite
You said it sister
Brad leone has his own channel now!!!!
guys its been 3 months without an its alive. thats the only thing keeping us here, come on more brad
Agree
Looks like that recipe killed that show.
It’s been 4 months now 🥺 this is the official countdown comment.

It seems like the show is taking a break after all of the backlash happened back in April

You're going to get a DVT you should probably go for a walk buddy.
Welcome to the beautiful black hole that is Brad Leone. Stay as long as you’d like :)
Do it man, see so many people on here saying they just watch the videos and never make anything, but I don’t understand how. Start with something easy like the hot honey
This is video 101
Yeah bud brad’ll do that to ya
You’re Alive (for now): Brad Makes Green Brisket!
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.

Would have been great during the covid videos
I came to the comments just to say something about his walk-in! It’s in a shed! What a strange life this guy has.
@@reykaye6096 it’s not strange I’d absolutley love a walk in in my garage or shed it would be incredible. I would love to befriend this man
@@reykaye6096 It's not strange at all
I love Brad, his recipes are giving straight up botulism 24/7
Man I missed Brad. Love his personality
He has his own channel now !!!
Only here for the „It’s alive“-videos with Brad. Can’t stop laughing and still learning something 😂👍
We need more it’s alive. We miss you brad
Hw has his own channel now !!!
Brad just saying "silly ducks!" will get me through the rest of the day
2:14 I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this little impromptu song you created by putting that beat in.
WE WANT MORE OF "IT'S ALIVE!"
Best series on this channel
He has his own channel now!!!
When he walked outside saying he needed to refrigerate the meat, I thought he would just leave it in the snow 🤣
Honestly, Brad 10/10 as usual, but what caught my atention this time was the very accurate and thought out descriptions of stuff happening in the captions. Someone give that person a raise
BA doesn't have a very good history with raises xD
@@TheShabzz lol yeah. Honestly just started watching again today because of that issue 2 years ago
For some reason this kind of reminds me of that episode about how to can fish. Does anyone have a link to that? I can’t find it anywhere
It’s bizarre. I was trying to find the exact same video. I want to learn how to can, too!
Not sure if this is sarcasm but that video was taken down because the method produces results that were unsafe for consumption... Just like this video. Please do not make this. People have already gotten sick trying to make this.

This is getting really old.

If your climate allows, a bay tree and a rosemary bush are two fantastic additions to your garden. Low maintenance and easy to care for.

Same boat, love it too! Hope his kids manage to save the ducks they’re so cute haha
@@tehbrokenlightbulb Vegan for 8 years, I'm in the same boat. Freaking love this man, he is a treasure!
Today on It’s Alive!: Brad Makes Botulism!
I typed in "RUclipsr makes bad pastrami" and this was the first video suggestion.
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.

Botulism Brad. Like this for visibility.
Yum! I’ve always wanted botulism.
I never laugh as hard as I do except when I’m watching Brad cook.
Brad where have you gone?
Brad and Chris are the only thing keeping Bon Appétit alive...Checked in on Bon Appétit too bad this show took a dive
Brad casually walks up to his DIY walk in fridge? 😱🤩 Bonus episode on this, please.
Bring this back 😢 this was the best part of this channel! And go places again like when you went noodling
Chef? And the Kardashians are beloved American treasures.
Just lookin for anything Brad after watching his very fun entertaining and informative videos!
Can we get another It's alive episode please?
brad = seratonin
They got to serious with this, like me personally the crazy and wacky brad is what I want
I need more Brad. Only reason why i watch
He has his own channel now !!
I am quite upset that he didn't make that sandwich he promised....SHAME!
I'm upset I didn't get the hug and kiss.
I’ve never been unhappy after seeing Brad do anything. He is the golden retriever of people. Never change I wish I could double like.
Brad you always make my day better. Hot pastrami is a killer choice always.
Silly 🦆
emphasis on the word killer
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.

Brad Leone - “Local Pastrami Farmer”
He looks the part lol
This will poison someone
Hey if ideas are why there haven’t been many it’s alive videos lately. I just made tonic syrup which I didn’t realize was fermented.
even if it smells like a corned beef sandwich... you cant smell botulism
omg is this botulism scandal part 4? 😍
I'm a simple man, I see a video with Brad Leone, I hit like before I even watch the video. He is by far my spirit animal lol and I have one of his signature knives and I absolutely love it!
The feeling you get wen BA posts a video starring Brad
What is the feeling, goddammit?
“You smell that?…of course you can’t” 😂😂
Brad is one of my favorite humans ever
Depends where you shop: Smart & Final 14lbs of beef brisket for approx. $60. Whole Foods, Grass Fed, etc. would be considerably more. Smaller pieces are also going to be more per pound.
Brad is the best thing to ever come out of Jersey. Take that Springsteen!
who doesn't loves Brad?
Voice effect guy needs a raise
5 minutes in and there are 1,200 views, what a channel
"I don't know if that's true, but it sounded right." - Brad Leone
Yesss! Love that remark!
I can't tell you how much respect I have for people when they're honest about being unsure of stuff :P
BRADU STAY GIVING ME BOTULISM WTF
Came for the botulism, was not disappointed.
Where's the botulism? How?
can we please got more of brad!!!!!!
I can watch Brad all day every day!
This is the best animation show on RUclips. How many awards has the artist team won?
GIVE THIS MAN A TALLER KITCHEN. My eyes twitched when he near that hanging pan and exhaust top. Great video btw!
Why are so many people roasting this recipe? He had success with it and is still alive. Sounds like a win to me.
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.
@@astropgn Thats comparing apples to oranges. You are comparing food to kids.
I'm going to have "roastin' roastin' roastin' roastin'" stuck in my head the rest of the day.
“Smell that? Course you can’t”
Been a fan of Brad forever. Sometimes I come back and watch for old time sake. Too bad he only puts out content on bon.
Would love an It's Alive episode on sake (ricewine).
Is Brad Alive?!

"You smell that? Of course you can't." 🤣
"I don't know if it's true but it sounded right" perfectly sums up this entire series
Holy cow, that's not safe.
“It ain’t Rocket Surgery” Ha…that’s classic Brad Leone…
Not pastrami, not safe
“it’s not rocket surgery” amazing.
i love this man more every minute i watch
When are we gonna get a new It’s Alive?!?
ITS HERE
FINALLY
I can’t decide if it’d rather want Brad as my best buddy or my father
lol my lil brother is basically a mini brad and it's great.
Bring brad back!
his personality is so wow
Omg how did I miss thus. I request this!
