Brad Makes Grilled Stuffed Squid | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 😂

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 ❤️

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!)

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

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

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

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

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

2:24 Hogwarts staff touring the BA test kitchen.

gabby with space buns DESERVES AN AWARD

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

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

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

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

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

i think brad would like julien solomita

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

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

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

The calmest and most organized I’ve seen brad 😂

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.

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 💜💜

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

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

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

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

3:23 one of Chris's many power poses

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!!

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

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

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

The biggest bite Christ Morocco has ever taken.

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

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~

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.

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

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 !!!

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

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

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

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

Morocco's positive comment is always a flattering A+

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

Gabby kills me!!!! First she needs to hang a picture... then she fixes in the background!!! THEN SHES HUNTING WITCHES??!?!?!?! I need Gabby in my life hahahaha

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

Gaby’s slaying it with her cute pigtails omg 😭

I do miss the Brad - Vince chemistry here!

I feels like Brad is making it up as he goes

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

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

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

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

I just realized this channel is like let's plays but they cook food.

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

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

So, no one gonna mention Brad’s knife skills?? MAD !!!

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

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

Yes. I request the formal recipe. That looks amazing!

I've made this many times now. It's FANTASTIC, Thank you!!

Great video Brad, I would love to see more outdoors cooking in the woods. Those videos got me hooked on ba videos!

Gaby is honestly so *pure* for hanging up a picture for Carla 😍😍😍

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

I think a video describing how everyone in the test kitchen got into cooking and how they got their job at BA, would be super cool.

Seeing Gaby walk in with her hair cute af made my day
