      Poor guy. Yes he should have had goggles! I've heard that if you submerge onions under water they don't irritate your eyes. However, I assume that could affect a recipe...I wonder if it leaches the onion flavor out of the onions.
      I have questions

      @@audreystarr6166 only real way to not get the waterworks flowing after cuttin onions is to have a really sharp knife and doing it fast, it works up until a certain point where you get too many onions to cut to do it fast enough. the onions only causes you to cry if you bruise the cell walls of an onion which a sharp knife doesnt do as much

      @@audreystarr6166 This is an old wives tale. A sharp knife is all you need, the thinner the better. I have an ultra thin Santoku-style knife that I use for all my vegetable preparation, and I can't remember the last time I teared up cutting onions.
      **Edit: I take that back, the only time I tear up is when grating onions. Some people would say "why bother grating them, just use a food processor". Fair point, but the texture just isn't the same for Swedish Meatballs or Kubideh.

      Easily a top 3 soup. also simple to make, not necessarily easy from a labor perspective because you have to chop a fuckoff load of onions, but the only possible areas to screw up are the caramelizing of the onions and not burning the ever loving shit out of it with the broiler because you thought you had enough time to smoke a cigarette.

    I like how you show little tips like at 9:00 where it lets people know what to look for and how to adjust and still make the recipe work for each unique situation, despite the circumstances. This helps a lot more by having visual cues to look for as opposed to saying crank up to high heat for X amount minutes and people get vastly different results

Cooking is an art with an underpinning of science because at the end of the day it’s about chemistry.. cooking IMHO is a calling that becomes a passion…and in my very humble opinion there are no rules, just like painting. Balance, yet intrigue, harmony yet something unexpected… thank you Steve for this one, it’s been a journey following you!

    my one contribution to this is that the oil from those little jars of pre minced of garlic makes the garlicking your bread step about a billion times easier than rubbing each crouton with a single piece of garlic. Also it's good for a lot of bread applications or if you have to make clam dip - people get precious about the need for fresh garlic but the value isn't the pre-minced nature of it it's that it also comes with a liquid garlic oil

    I became obsessed with making my own croutons after finding out how much better they are than pre-bagged. Bit of garlic oil in a large freezer bag with cut up bread, toss it around and lay on a sheet tray. Tiny bit of salt to enhance the flavor and stick in an oven under the broiler for a couple minutes and they come out to my liking, though you can probably just the bake setting as well.
