brad leone looks like a carpenter who just wandered onto set one day and now he won't leave

I died at the zoom in of Chris eating his leaf in the background.

Whoever does the hiring at Bon Apetit deserves some kind of award. Every single person at this place seems beyond superb. Amazing.

I thought I was here for Brad, but I'm actually here for Gabby hunting witches.

Gaby must be hosting “its dead with gaby” behind you

i feel validated knowing Chris, a professional chef, also eats lettuce like that sometimes

Brad: “NO, we’re not putting it on a hot dog bun!!!” Also Brad: “they’re like little sausages”

Wait. Chris. Is a dad?? What. I guess I just assumed he was some ageless being who lived between realms in the test kitchen...

*when he said water and there's no **_WOURDER_** written on the screen...* *_disappointed._*

If you watch closely you can see a wild Chris grazing in the background. Nature is amazing.

We need “background of the test kitchen” asmr that’s just the generic kitchen noises and therapeutic light conversation of the background

About to attempt making this (wish me luck) so I took some notes in preparation. Here's a kinda-sorta-recipe for anyone else who wants to try this! Brad and BA, we love you, thanks for making these videos and please never stop! Dry Rub: Mustard powder Onion powder Salt Pepper Cayenne Coriander (ground) Filling: Squid tentacles, minced Shrimp, minced Scallions (3), chopped into thin rounds 4 cloves of garlic, microplaned 1" of ginger, microplaned 2-3" of lemongrass, sliced into realrealreal thin rings ½ fresno chili, minced 1 tablespoonish of ponzu sauce 1 tablespoonish of gochujang 1-2 tablespoonsish of olive oil Pinch of dry rub Black pepper Rice: 1.5ish cups of white rice, cooked Furikake Additional: Parsley and [cilantro, tarragon, basil, or thai basil] Another splash of ponzu Another splash of olive oil PREP TUBES Put tubes in bowl 1, add dry rub + pinch of salt, toss to coat PREP FILLING Put minced tentacles and shrimp in bowl 2, add chopped scallions Add microplaned garlic and ginger to bowl 2 Add lemongrass slices to bowl 2 Add minced chili to bowl 2 Add ponzu sauce to bowl 2 Add gochujang to bowl 2 Add olive oil to bowl 2 Add healthy pinch of dry rub to bowl 2 Add black pepper to bowl 2 PREP RICE Put white rice in bowl 3 Add some furikake to white rice to coat lightly COOK FILLING Saute contents of bowl 2 in a nonstick pan on medium-high heat to cook shrimp/squid and reduce moisture. Color will darken a bit. MIX STUFFING Dump sautéed bowl 2 contents into bowl 3, mix with rice Chop some parley and cilantro or tarragon or [Thai] basil, put in bowl 3 mixture Add an extra splash of ponzu and olive oil to bowl 3, mix FILL THE TUBES Put bowl 3 contents (stuffing) in bag, cut off dime-size tip Fill each tube about halfway with stuffing. If both sides have holes, put less in and center the stuffing. GRILL THE TUBES Heat grill on HOT Put stuffed tubes on grill, roll frequently to get even browning, use tongs to keep mixture inside (A COUPLE MINUTES TOTAL) Don't forget that mixture inside is cooked so you're basically just searing the tubes Char the sides by placing tubes parallel to grill grates Before removing, sprinkle with some more dry rub (to achieve pyrotechnics) Serve on hot dog bun with ketchup

I can't be the only person that's constantly distracted wondering what everyone else is doing in the background.

My life gets a bit easier every time I see Chris judging someone's food

when brad at 3:23 was like "no one's paying attention," i felt so called out because i got distracted by the stuff happening on the side and really was not paying attention lol

"Brad Makes Grilled Stuffed Squid" or "Chris Tries to Eat Some Lettuce". Either title works.

Brad: We're not putting them on a hotdog bun. Also Brad: They're like little sausages.

1) gabby with the buns was everything 2) as much as i love goofy brad, seeing him serious was 10/10

After binging It’s Alive, it feels like I’m watching a completely different man here.

That is the biggest bite I’ve ever seen Chris eat

First up on "It's Dead!" with Gabby: killing witches with a broom.

9:20 Brad casually filling condoms with seafood mixture in the test kitchen

i know we all talk about brad and claire but guys: brad and chris. two bros complimenting each others food. im here for this

Brad: “it’s Cheap” Me: *laughs in midwest*

"You're just yourself". BRAD IMMEDIATELY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I LOVE THIS GUY

I can tell how much everyone, including the editor, had to hold back from making it an It’s Alive episode lol

In today's episode Gabbi shows off her daily routine at the test kitchen, while Brad cooks something in the background.

I can't even with Gaby... "Hunting witches." So cute.

Gaby's 2 upcoming shows -"It's Dead" and "Witch Hunt with a Broom"

Am i the only one who could watch brad cut stuff with that knife forever. his knifework is actually mesmerizing.

3:23 - "No one's paying attention" I'm paying attention to the way Chris looks at his watch in the background 😂

I love how he’s just like “a pinch of this a dash of that and boom, a fancy dinner”

Brad should totally make a gochujang episode of “Its Alive” 10/10 would watch that!

5:40 Gaby: we hunting witches Also Gaby: *jumps out of window*

Chris was in a great mood in this episode and it's one of those episodes I come backI to watch again, specially cause Chris' face lights up at the end with the squid surpassing expectations and praising Brad. Plus it's Brad which has such a bright personality. Wholesome content ❤️

Dare I say it looks like he’s stuffing condoms. . .

gabby with space buns DESERVES AN AWARD

Dear Brad's Manager, Please make him write up this recipe. Thank you.

i think brad would like julien solomita

It took me a while to realise this isn't an "it's alive" episode...I was so confused by the "boring" editing. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Brad: NO WE ARE NOT PUTTING IT ON A HOTDOG BUN Also Brad: it looks like a sausage

When he says “wourder” but there’s no caption for it 😪

"What a rouges gallery of flavors".... That was a cool sentence...

Brad seems like he would be such a good friend. Like he'd be down to go camping or fishing or even help with harvest. Seems like such a genuine friend to have

Brad, If you turn the squid tubes inside out before filling, the opening will curl inward when it hits the heat, thereby sealing in the stuffing, and allowing for more stuffing (though I'm sure that the excess stuffing did *NOT* go to waste!)

I just love the running joke that BA has with Brad's title. They change it almost every time he's on. 😂

brad should do an it’s alive episode of gochujang!!

"No we're not putting then on a hot dog bun!" Five seconds later: "They're like little sausages."

I love how everyone's so great at capturing Chris' incredible moments in the background

I watch BA vídeos twice. 1. To see what the cheff is doing 2. To see what they do in the background

Gabi running around in the back with her space buns, I CANT!!

The calmest and most organized I’ve seen brad 😂

Where is the "Chris describes food for 3 hours" compilation

look at that magnificent swoop christ does with his arm to look at his watch at 3:22

"I would never be able to present a recipe." Oh Molly, how far you've come!

You may be an alcoholic if you thought the olive oil was Jäger Meister

Goddamn, Chris back at it again with the best cameos on BA

3:23 one of Chris's many power poses

Petition for "It's Dead! with Gaby" series

MAKE THIS AN OFFICIAL "BON APPETIT" RECIPE!!!! ....... Brad you are the light of the BA test kitchen. :) Excellent work. just brilliant! Lets get you published xoxox -Sara

Gotta love how Matt, the editor, introduces us to important yet sometimes un-noticed people like Drexel Dash & other people he puts a pop up about!! More of that in the future too please 💜💜

3:23 Chris looks at his watch in the most amazing way. Always the star of the background.

2:24 Hogwarts staff touring the BA test kitchen.

Am I the only one who thought, “wow, what a beautifully satisfying looking Non stick Pan!”

Y'all didn't have to expose my boy Chris like that smh

"I love to hear what you guys do with squid in the comments" - nearly every comment is about Gaby or Chris 😂

So fun to watch and learn, Brad has a great personality and bring's a relaxing atmosphere to the kitchen. At least he does online. Thanks for bringing us your channel and cooking skills.

Your olive oil bottle looked a lot like jagermeister. I was thinking wow now that’s new...licorice with lemongrass notes? Lol.

I do miss the Brad - Vince chemistry here!

Chris eating lettuce: 6:55, 7:30 Gabby with broom: 5:35

The editors and the cooks are amazing! Everyone seems so relatable and so funny, and all the chemistry never seems forced seems totally naturally

The biggest bite Christ Morocco has ever taken.

Why am I just now noticing Brad's knife skills?!? Zamnnn so smooth, he makes it look easy.

I'd watch a 6 hour video of brad painting walls

I feels like Brad is making it up as he goes

Love this guy just discovered this series, can’t stop watching it!

Gaby in the back with her awesome space buns. Yas girl

"Brad's World" nice throwback to the early days of It's Alive 😂

I love me some Brad! Don't let Brad go anywhere!! Keep him cooking/entertaining and going on adventures!!!

I had to rewind because I couldn’t stop watching Gaby running around the background, straightening pictures and cleaning house. 🤣. SHE NEEDS HER OWN WEEKLY SEGMENT!!

Gaby’s slaying it with her cute pigtails omg 😭

Morocco's positive comment is always a flattering A+

Brad: **starts explaining what he’s doing** **3 seconds into explaining** Brad: .... *ill show you*

idk how many times i've come back to rewatch this video but i'm never getting over the fact that chris didn't just take a little nibble out of his food !!!

did Gabby say 'hunting witches'? LMAO 😂😝😝

"We're gonna start off with the bodies" should never be taken out of context.

these videos wouldn't be complete without Morocco doing something in the background and staring at the camera.

Omg Brad, I was SO stressed out today, and this was the perfect video to relax and unwind and undo all the stress of the day. Thanks for being your chill and relaxing self! PS this. looks. amazing. I wish I could eat this right now

I love Brad. Not only does he make delicious food, but he seems like a really genuine, down-to-earth kinda dude and has an amazing sense of humor. Also, he has great taste in knives. I wish I had a quarter of the nice knives I see in his videos.

7:31 A good and pure moment where Chris Morocco shows he too is human just like us. ♥ Also that is exactly why I chop my salads~

can we appreciate how yummy everything brad makes looks though

The way Brad chops things is very fluid, very impressive!

This is the most chef-like I've seen Brad 😂I vote for instead of ASMR we just watch Brad cut things in small slivers.

Me at home: "Give that a lil tossy toss." "Throw in some salty salt" "Don't forget a lil shaky shake"

People claim Brad isnt funny or interesting without Matt's editing or Vinny around but Brad is still like a funny welcoming dad

It's always startling to see Chris take a big bite of something. Love their camaraderie.

Brad chopping the scallions was so satisfying lmao

OMG! Gabi is Boo from Monsters Inc all growed up!

You could call your show “it was alive” Hahahaha 😂😂🤣🤣 Yum by the way

I loved this. Please make more squid and octopus recipes from the rest kitchen! It’s so yummy but pretty intimidating to cook with if you’re not used to it.
