    @Nairn:

    Since you're keen doing homemade sauce, have you given this a go?

    • Brad makes Thai hot sauce in front of Thai women working behind him. Classic.robotron3k
    • Nope - not ventured as far as fermented sauces just yet. I know Set was doing these, which piqued my interest.Nairn
    • Just waiting for baby to outgrow the need for the steam steriliser we have for her, so I can use it to sterilise jars for fermenting and pickling... :)Nairn
    • Nngh. I'm sure I remember Set posting a good fermented pickle how-to, but I'll be damned if I can find it. Not in QBN recipe thread, anyway.Nairn
    • I'm guessing it was either this guy's (Brad) half-sour fermented pickles, or maybe even Chef John's.Continuity
    • I'm, as often, making things up. He posted a wee bit here, but no complete how-to https://www.qbn.com/…Nairn
    • I would love to work with Brad. He just keeps the joy in the kitchen, and that's a severely underrated quality. Either the jokes flow, or cooking isn't fun.garbage
    • I spent 16 hours on a dish the other day, and it wasn't fun because I did it solo.garbage
    • Don't get me wrong, Chef John has mad credentials and knows what he's doing, but Brad would be somebody you want to really chop it up with.garbage
    • Agreed, Brad is super-cool. Just too bad they've altered his format a bit, and got away from fermenting since Vinnie left BA.Continuity
    • Everyone should watch Brad just for the entertainment value.deadsperm
    • My sauce:
      Frozen Capsicum pubescens (not sure if that made a difference) onion, garlic, peppercorn, sugar. 20% salt. Fermented for 2 weeks then blended.

    • @continuity Wait WHAT? Vinnie is leaving?!garbage
    • What happened? I'm out of the loop.garbage
    • Vinny went with Babish last year, there's an episode when Brad briefly refers to Vinny's departure.deadsperm
    • Yeah, Vinnie left last year, I saw it on his IG feed. :\Continuity
    • What a strange move creatively, going from BA to BWB. One would think shooting BA content is more creatively fulfilling than BWB's stuff.Continuity
    • Don't get me wrong, I think BWB content is great, just not exactly ... err ... action packed, and really formulaic.Continuity
    • Just took a look at Vinnie's LinkedIn profile ... seems he left BWB last year after 10 months, and went freelance.Continuity
    • I agree completely. BWB obviously knows what he's doing, I would eat everything that he makes, but he's 100% the hand-swatting kitchen snob.garbage
    • I imagine he'd be fun to eat with, less fun to cook with. I think he has a great nose for dish and flavor. But there's no fun in the process.garbage
    • For instance: I made a hangover breakfast of scrambled egg on biscuit with fatback chiffonade and a syrup made from an orange Red Bull.garbage
    • I think my favorite reaction to what I cooked is "OMG how did you do this?"garbage
