Alton Brown Cooks Food | Episode 33: Kentucky Fried Mint
This week I do an accent, discuss VOC’s, chat about bourbon and say the word “gestalt” a few times. OH, and let’s make a mint julep.

Sorry about the AI crest, guys. I did it for the bit and the bit wasn't worth it. Won't happen again.
You know, it wasn't until I was in my early-20s that I realized this drink was not called a "Mint Jew Lip," and prior to that realization, I would sometimes wonder whether the name was referring to minty lips on a regular Jewish person, regular lips on a minty Jewish person, or a minty Jewish person named Lip.
One time I tried the "eye opener" morning julep. It was very nice, but the rest of the day pretty much sucked.
I don't drink but this is a fun video
What can you substitute for Mint if your allergic to Mint?
0:11 Bowling Shirt!!!
i remember ice houses. The town my grandma's lived in had one. They would leave about a foot of space around the ice and then fill that space with saw dust for insulation. Every summer I visited, I would go down and stand next to that ice house just to get cool. Oh and to get a bottle of pop!
Love my Lewis bag….and so do my kids for their mocktails 😁
My mint plant so big. We gotta drink well this summer
As a Canadian that hasn't had Bourbon on the shelf since….well…you know.. I miss that American Bourbon spirit. We'll be back as soon as we can. Alton has taught me for 25 years, and this episode hits hard. 🍁❤🩹🦅❤❤❤
That was one sad looking mint plant.
I love alton, love his food, but the acting nonsense is a but much
:looks at the pile of ice:
It's an alcoholic mint slushie.
The Mint Julep has a long history whereas the Cuban Mojito only dates back to around 1930-31.
I WANT THAT SHIRT! I'M A LEFTY AND A CHEFTY!
Bro's walking around with his silver cup proclaiming his superiority but he doesn't even have a nutmeg grater hanging off his shirt pocket. 🤭
also bro left the mint in darkness for it to stretch that much xD
17:30 , OH , Oil glands of “ The Stuff We WANT “ ! Just like Cannabis
Love it.
We had a yellow lab that would rummage through the wild mint that grew in the back yard. She would come up on the deck and smell nicely of mint.
Not peltate (those are on olive leaves) trichomes. The oils are under the cuticle of the glad, like a wax paper blister. This is why old mint does not have any real flavor, all of the oils have left as the "blisters" pop in the rain and whatnot. Good stuff. 17:18
😍
Considering how you labeled the three-way combination of Good Eats, you missed the perfect opportunity to call your mint sprig “Naughty, evil Zoot” and tell her she must be spanked.
Rye is better than Bourbon in every way.
I miss the Live’s ❤️✌️
I've shouted to the mountain tops… BOURBON=AMERICAN WHISKEY. Our contemporaries north and south get it
“White Trailer trash” having an AI crest is more fitting than a professionally designed one 🤷♂️
