    I didn't know what Vichyssoise was, and honestly thought the video thumbnail was a petri dish. It made perfect sense in my mind - "Of course, Alton Brown is culturing some specific microbe required for some seriously good eats". While the video wasn't what I expected, this looks darn delicious. Thanks again Alton!

    This soup always reminds me of the time, when as a youngster, I was working for a private club at functions.
    One lady, who would now be referred to as a "Karen", INSISTED that the soup should be served hot... Despite my (polite) warning she insisted I take it back to the chef and ask for it to be heated.
    The chef at this club was an old German chef (in the worst stereotype of strict German chefs), when informed of the request the kitchen was filled with swearing in German at full volume.
    He snatched the soup from my hands then demanded I "show me ziss ignorant voman!".
    Upon reaching the table terms such as ignorant, uncultured, uncouth and tasteless were used in reference to the "Karen"'s opinion on cold soups.
    The lady did not eat the soup while her table mates praised it's delicacy of flavour and consistency, much to her chagrin.

    Fun fact, this was the first dish I ever cooked for my wife. It was on our 4th date I asked her if I could cook for her. Made this, a version of Shepard’s pie, and chocolate mousse. That was 8 years (and 2 kids) ago. So I guess that’s a ringing endorsement for this soup. :)

    I've watched all the forms of Alton Brown's video cooking footage, from the original Good Eats all the way through making ice cream on late night show, to appearing in Hot Ones (and crushing it), the pandemic video shorts, and live streaming from home.
    I am disappointed that Good Eats Reloaded is discontinued.

    My first introduction to vichyssoise and it being a cold leek and potato soup is from the old MS DOS game Monkey Island 2, in which you introduce a live rat into the soup pot in order to get a chef fired and take his job.
    Do not add live rats to your vichyssoise. The hair gets everywhere.
    Also, don't ask why a game set in the 17th century has vichyssoise in it.
