Yeah Brad and Vinnie! Hey Brad can you make a Chocolate fermented drink?
what about chocolate milk?...
+Daniel Kintigh Vincenzo* 😂
I've never seen a 10 pound chocolate bar before this video. Brad can you take one of those back to the test kitchen with you and make something with it?
+Jan van Overbeek Brazil
+Annie C Where you from gotta get those then
Garry Guittard sounds like a marvel superhero alter ego
he's secretly Stan Lee
Netflix get these guys a show longer than 10/15 minutes. I need more Brad and Vinny in my life
Yea but she said (claire) she might leave and free lance
+Cedric Bassman Vinny is not the editor.
I love the effect Brad has on other people. You can see how his energy, and his excitement and positivity makes everyone he interacts with super happy. His personality is infectious.
Your baby Grinch pic combined with this video made *me* super happy.
I have a soft theory that the editors of this segment/channel are the same guys that edit Uunnnnhhhhh!
I scrolled to see if someone posted that ♥
+Anne I saw that goose catch 😏
How on earth did anyone ever discover this process?
As Brad said in part 1, the fermentation process probably creates alcohol. So I'd guess that the native Americans were eating them to get messes up, and eventually started fine tuning when they harvested them
Aztecs made a chocolate drink (Xocolatl, X sounds like Sh) but it was made with boiling water (hence the saying "like water for chocolate", also, no cows in America then), it had vanilla and chile, and it was sweetened with honey : )
maybe one day ill find a Brad
I want one too
+WeeItsNookies 😂
I love how different he is when he is dealing with his peers and when he's dealing with the older man who owns the company. He's more calm and respectful when he's talking to Gary Guittard whereas when he's talking to the company workers and Vinny he's more laid back and playful.
Well, he is also: The guy paying them
Alex Clarke well thats The Gary Guittard
No joke, this was a terrific set of videos. I haven't seen a full video from beans to chocolate bar and that has gone into the subtle nature of chocolate making. Brad and Vinny are funny as always and the final statement at the end by brad was terrific about appreciating how much goes into things. Great videos to watch stoned.
