    It is kinda sad to me that he used fresh trinity, then dumped crawfish out of a plastic bag with the words "keep frozen" printed on it. I wonder if Gordon has an Etouffee.

    A few weird things about this video. First, he doesn’t give volume amounts for the roux. Then he uses a whisk and a spoon. I always just use a wooden spoon. Keep it simple. That crawfish was weird, looked all mushy and stringy. He should have used freshly boiled crawfish and show how to best de-shell. And he barely even put any (of that weird) crawfish bit stuff in the pot. Then he served like two bites? I want a meal!

    Is it me or was the etouffee was already done which is why he only used a quarter of the bag. All video he was using the RED deep pan and at the end he switched to the yellow one.

    Sorry but if you want to see an authentic Crawfish etoufee go to Cajun Ninja. He lost me at tomato purée. Being born and raised in Acadiana, I expect this from the N.O. region from the boot.

    Everyone is mentioning how relaxed this chef is, which is true. It's one of the things I liked about the video. It reminds me of the old "Great Chefs" series I used to watch on PBS after school (yes, I was that big of a food geek at 12). No hype, no catchphrases, no silly puns; just clear, cogent instruction.

    I used his simple instructions, and my dish tasted amazing. You definitely must season to taste adding your own Cajun seasonings and chef Cajun’s Hot sauce. Living in New Orleans truly helps me find all ingredients at my local market Zuppardo’s or Breaux Mart. #ILoveLouisiana

    Well how does anyone know how much onion and everything else when you're only saying a little bit if this and that. Didn't finish watching this video for that reason. Makes no sense to watch if you don't have measured ingredients.

    Liked the video but was disappointed in 2 steps. First, the stock….I was for sure that he would show us how to make a stock….bummer. Second, I'm not from New Orleans, so you mean to tell me that I'm going to have to ORDER New Orleans style crawfish…. another bummer. But all in all, the video was concise and easy to follow. Oh, and didn't he start off in a red pot and end up with the yellow pot🤦🏽‍♀️, what was that about🤔😂
