Bacon and Balsamic Brussels Sprouts - You Suck at Cooking (episode 154) 

The fact that he goes to some of the most beautiful locations on Earth in order to film vegetables rolling down landscapes is... it's the kind of eccentricity I aspire to, honestly.

That moron was me. In case you thought it was you. And the reason you cut Brussels Sprouts before roasting them is because spherical things are evil. There are many other reasons which you can find below:

The recipe, the humor, the editing skills, the mesmerizing sceneries, the song. 10/10.

The fact he also includes his cooking mistakes makes this show even better.

Based on the ending, it looks like he can cross "travel to a nice place" off the list. Nice.

With that ending song, I'm just imagining a TSA agent looking at his carry-on baggage and seeing a bag of brussel sprouts and giving him the long side-eye before deciding they'd rather not know the details 😂

Cutting raw bacon then washing his hands, then grabbing the raw bacon are the moments i live for 2:27

I like the idea of someone going to the grand canyon and seeing ysac bowling with vegetables

The fact that one only needs to remember BATHPTEB for a balsamic reduction is a testament to YSAC's genius!

If anyone wants to jnow what pen he's using at 1:58, I'm 95% sure that it's a Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen. For those wanting to get into fountain pens or penmanship, it's a great pen in both effectiveness and cost efficiency. It's basically a $40-$50 class pen sitting comfortably at $20. Brass body (coating feels almost anodized, and people who've had it for years say it doesn't really wear off), great balance (though, cap needs to be off, at least in my experience), and a nice writing feeling makes it a great writing experience at affordable cost. It even looks rather elegant and almost storied in a way. For those on the fence, the way I describe fountain pen writing is that it feels both scratchy, in a good way, and smooth. I think I associate "scratchy" with the experience because there almost feels like there's an air of permanence, like inscribing into marble and smooth stone, when writing with it because of the pointed tip. It also feels smooth because the ink flows freely, only depending on capillary action and the adhesive and cohesive properties of water to flow. The sticky feeling from many ballpoint pens where you have to almost force the ink on to the paper by pressing down is not present. Fountain pens can write with their own weight; you don't and should not be pressing down with much force. In addition, if you're the kind of person who either outright uses cursive or uses a sort of hybrid where you like to connect letters together for speed, in my experience, fountain pens naturally make it much easier. The common recommendation is to get the fine tip. Fountain pens have different tip sizes going from the narrowest at extra fine/Japanese fine (Japanese pens like the Pilot Metropolitan labeled "fine" are comparable to European and American pens labeled "extra fine", fine, and medium (and larger, but those are less common). Medium is great for some, but you need good quality paper for it. Cheap paper (i.e. most paper in everyday life, sadly) bleeds and feathers badly since it can't effectively hold on to the volume of ink released by medium tips. I don't really know why I typed this out; when I started writing, before I knew it, I had a mini-article written. Well, anyhow, hello there. Have a good day.

You might legit be the world's leading expert on filming rolling objects that don't roll real good. Slap that on a CV

I had to do a second take to confirm that the balsamic sauce turned the spoon into a knife

I actually make brussel sprouts like this! It’s because of watching your og video back in the day that I gave them a chance, my family used to steam everything. So thanks for making these, they always make me smile and genuinely got me to enjoy cooking. Was anticipating the sprout song at the end, was not disappointed :)

I actually read through the recipe in the description while watching, and I love how it's more straightforward but still says stuff like "gravitron" and "pepper pepper pepper". On the flip side, there's no ingredient measurements, but since it's literally just one vegetable and some seasonings I guess it's just "season to taste".

Fun fact Brussels Sprouts are chemically different from they were back just a few decades ago, they are much sweeter and much less bitter Minute food did a video about it

Can't believe it's been 6 years since the last episode of the Brussel sprout rolling in the wild to an amazing song. I love the series!

I’ve missed you YSAC. These videos are timeless and this one reminds me of some of the early videos on this channel.

I’m ashamed to say I’ve never come across this channel, being someone who loves cooking. I’m not ashamed to say I’m crying real man tears

Love the new song! Especially since the first Brussels sprouts song has been my favourite for a while now.

Legend has it that Brussel Sprout has found peace and is raising a family with an Asparagus along the Little Popo Agie River.

"Brussel sprout, where are you going" is my all time favourite YSAC song. Plays in my head every time I see brussel sprouts anywhere

Travelling to a canyon with a bag of brussel sprouts for the clip of the Outro song of a cooking video. This, kids, is committing to the bit. I like it.

I’m always filled with joy when the opening jingle returns

Holy crap, this is my favorite side dish at holiday events! Definitely not the delicious bacon fat that got sucked into the mini cabbages or the balsamic that makes them an ungodly level of delicious

ok so i've just been bingewatching this channel because the lightheartendness is relieving, the puns and other jokes are refreshing and cooking relaxes me. but thanks for this video! i now know what to cook for lunch tomorrow!

i love the sarcasm, every time i watch a recipe I CANT STOP LAUGHING!!! I cook happy!!!

I love the time and effort you took to make a whole music video about brussels sprouts

Man your videos have been a soft and happy spot in my life over the years man and i love ya cook book. Keep living life and I hope you are happy.

Been subscribed for years, i always love when you upload

He really go out and about, for every video he makes, love ya man!

I came looking for a recipe for making at Thanksgiving, and I found myself entertained way more than anything to do with Brussels sprouts should do, and I even love Brussels sprouts!

I'm actually going through my brussel sprout and salty meat phase right now so great timing

I can't believe one of the best stop motion channel on RU-vid is a cooking channel

I LOVE this channel. It's literally the highlight of my day. Never change, never change.

3:00 I can't express how this simple sentence gave me the biggest shot of dopamine in months.

0:12 took me a second to realize that the one brussel sprout was sliding, not rolling

"into the undo they gundo" will always be iconic

The funniest thing is that by far the most time spent on this video was getting the b roll of brussels sprouts rolling through remote landscapes.

I don't understand how these videos don't all have millions of views. Some of the best content on YT! ❤

1:32 If the word was "datience" and not "patience", then you could rearrange the list to make the acronym "BATH DEBT".

Damn the cinematography on the sprout rolling song was awesome

This is the funniest cooking video I've ever seen! Just came across your channel- can't see what else awaits!

I felt that repetitive washing hands mantra. I often wonder if I'm washing my hands too much as I cook.

jesus his songs are such bangers Please I beg you, ysac make a spotify

maaaaan i love all the throwbacks to the first brussel sprout video and bringing back the slow guitar intro i think we last heard in the energy ball video? and finally we get to see our brussel sprout was actually on an adventure to zion and finally made it after over seven years of travel, makes me wonder what other sights the brussel sprout saw along the way, glad to hear from it anyhow

Idc what people say, brussel sprouts are amazing

I missed the pepper pepper peppering. Always exciting to see a new video. Dude, what a view. Perfect for Brussel Sprout rolling.

Had no idea a video about cooking Brussel sprouts would end with stunning scenery views. Awesome work. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family 😊

I got mad I thought you tossed the weird leaves. Love the redemption arc of this story around 3:35 I like brussel sprouts but the best part are the chips

3:10 does that mean that Brussel sprouts garnished with Brussel sprouts taste like nothing?

The Thelma and Louise Brussel sprout ending was nice.

This is the best episode in a while, amazing work 10/10

Vaporized Brussels sprouts are my favorite kind 🙂

I always appreciate the attention to detail and all the effort you put into these videos, they make me laugh and smile so much :)

Make sure you’re careful with your mechanical puzzle sprouts. If it happens to be the Verdant Configuration, be aware that opening them will summon Skinhead, the cruciferous priest. He will torture you… for consuming a vegetable that is not deep fried.

I had to subscribe not as much for the recipes but for the entertainment! What a riot you are!❤😂

Yesss, haven't even tried these yet, but if they are anything like this guy.. they are gonna be awesome.

I love to use brussels sprouts when making corned beef and cabbage, they hold their integrity better and are easier to eat

Remember watching you as kid, so happy to have found your channel again

Man I really needed to hear that brussel sprout message today.

That Brussel sprout at the made me cry. He was Free !!!!!!

Just wanna say I'm so sooo glad you're making music in these videos again. Thanks YSAC

please never stop doing these videos :D

brilliant video as usual! and I really needed that song in my life.. thanks

Yay! I miss the music so much. I could use a 12 hour loop of food tumbling to soft guitar. 😊

So I 100% made this recipe from your book. They were indeed delicious, but I was thinking "Okay these aren't as crunchy as I want. What can I do differently?" And then this video came out and went on a whole shpeal about how great bacon is. I immediately went "OH, THAT is what I was missing!"

the production value of a 4min brussel sprout video is amazing

a good old fashion nostalgic ysac video i will make my kids watch over and over again to show them the spirit of the 20s

My mom made up a recipe like this, caramelize the Brussel sprouts with honey and bacon, a bit of garlic powder in a pan with a bunch of butter. Oh, and a LOT of honey. It’s freakin amazingly sweet and savory

That B roll (brussel roll of courses) at the end was gorgeous.

Definitely move "learn welding" further up your to do list at 1:58. I started and it's soooo much fun

This feels like a return to form. I love you.

YSAC's Bacon Theorem should win some sort of Nobel Prize.

Someone sign this man up to a record label

the harmony at the start is a masterpiece

I did not expect the gorgeous cinematography at the end.

Thanks for the smiles.💜🙏🏽

An amazing ep, not only because it almost makes me want to give brussels sprouts a try again. Almost!

0:47 Cosmetically offensive leaves… lol

Has it really been 6 years from when i saw your first brussel sprout video to now this one? I can't help but enjoy the references here😂❤

The Brussel Sprout song rivals “I want to be a pirate” in awesomeness.

1:27 Ah yes, the BAHTPTEB method! 😂

Cannot wait to watch the new material, and join to this new chapter

Damn. That was an absolutely tear-jerking ending sequence

I just found this channel & I'm crying

For some reason the callback at 1:03 had me in absolute STITCHES. I'm not even exaggerating, I had to stop the video and I cried a little, there might be something wrong with me. PS do you get to write off vacations on your taxes because you film vegetables in beautiful places?

Those look awesome! I'll have to try them. My go to for brussel sprouts is a honey Sriracha glaze with garlic in the air fryer. It's funny, absolutely hates them as a kid.

2:39 THE CLAW?!?!?! (Pimblokto 0.0)

RU-vid didn't immediately push this to the top of my recommendeds and that is literally cause for revolution

Absolutely amazing scenery at the end, the music is top notch. 10/10 overall. Thank you for your work

When the song at the end is better than any therapy or coaching on self care I’ve ever received

It’s always nice getting a song at the end!

The movie night line absolutely killed me😂😂😂

Those look absolutely delicious and I'm going to incorporate that into my normal sprout dishes (which is Stirfried)

Fun Fact: The first time I tried brussel sprouts it was boiled with no seasonings whatsoever 🙃. Thankfully I figured out that it wasn't normal to cook it like that

What the heck was that cinematic masterpiece at the end...

The song. I mean... It's OK to cry.

Just got your book yesterday.. cant wait to suck less at cooking!

I miss the music videos at the end

That ending was the greatest music video staring a brussel sprout that I have ever seen.
