France’s 5-Minute Magic Butter Sauce | What’s Eating Dan?

I am 54 years of age and a fIisherman. Why am I just learning this now. Some of my best friends are chefs, still no one has told me. Not even bloody cooking shows.

60+ years loving butter and TODAY I learn about this. Thank you sir.

I never forget Bourdain on Kitchen Confidential, explaining that what makes "restaurant food" taste so good is the obscene amount of butter that goes on each dish.

Deserves Academy Award (or something) for the Best Cooking Tip Ever on YouTube - or anywhere else.

Hello Dan, I don't have any wierd stories about eating butter that my high cholesterol levels can't support, but I do have one about cats. I had always wanted a cat which my mother never would allow. I had also heard that rubbing butter on a cats paws would make them stay at your home. So imagine my delight when a poor stray cat wandered into my life. I immediately ran for the stick of butter always allowed to sit covered on the kitchen table even in the heat of California. I slathered those sweet little murder mittens to the point that the cat couldn't walk but just lay frozen on the ground (see it worked). I put the butter back on the table and tried to find the perfect name for my newly acquied cat. Sadly my mom wpuld not allow my little pur machine to stay but I did gain satisfaction watching my parents and brother picking hair from their mouths and food that night at dinner. When they said "Pass the butter please," I surely did that night.

How have I lived over 7 decades but never heard of this before?

This will change my butter noodles for life! Incredible! Thanks Dan and all others!

Have a massive library of cookbooks , watched 1000's of cooking videos And this is the first im hearing of

When I was in elementary school and lived in Iowa, we would fill the trunk of the car with Blue Bonnet margarine and dry ice whenever we visited relatives in Minnesota. Oleo margarine was frowned upon in dairy states like Minnesota and Wisconsin. The relatives wanted the oleo margarine. As an adult I discovered that butter tasted so much better and was not unhealthy like we had been told for years. I'm now 70 and still insist on butter, no oleo margarine for me!

Keto people need to know this. I’m replacing sugar with fat now in my diet, and you just made adding butter so much better!

Inventive script + clever video production + hunger-producing recipes + amusing but straightforward delivery = I will make it!

That gojchujang-lime sauce sounds amazing. the world needs more gochujang, in general.

😂 my younger sister used to eat butter too… mom & dad kept an open stick of butter in an uncovered dish on the counter. Dad would see marks on top as if someone was running their finger across the top. He thought she was doing it & was waiting to catch her at it. One day he saw the cat on the counter licking the butter 🤣😂. That ended keeping uncovered butter on the counter. Then he found out same cat was licking the bacon grease he kept in his cast iron pan that he fried his eggs in (& the repurposed frozen grape juice container full of bacon grease he kept on the stove to replenish his pan.)!!! When my sister was in high school the same cat was knocking the screen off her bedroom window so he could go outside. He thought she was sneaking out. He only figured out it was not her when he let the cat in & 15 minutes later he wanted back in! 🤣😂 that cat almost got her in trouble so many times 🤣😂 Of course, if she wasn’t such a rebellious little twit he wouldn’t have thought it was her! She didn’t do anything bad per se, she usually just skirted the boarders as close as she could without stepping a pinky toe over them. .

I had an uncle who used to sit at the kitchen table with a cold stick of butter, dip it into the sugar bowl, munch and repeat till the whole stick was gone. You'd think he would have died of a heart attack at 43 but in fact he lived to be 90 years old, hale and hearty to the end.

The only thing margarine had going for it was the price — much cheaper than butter. But my European Mom was unfamiliar with it, so used to only buy unsalted butter. Then somehow she stumbled upon a recipe for making your own croissant 🥐 dough, but made with Imperial Margarine. I think she really liked the golden colour of her little danish-croissant bundles (filled with a sweet ground walnuts in beaten egg whites with sugar and rum paste). But that was the only recipe she ever used margarine for. Those little golden filled puff pastry crescents were the highlight of every Easter & Christmas. Boy, were we spoiled! ❤

I took our son to Randy White's BBQ when he was about 8. They had the little butter cups for the rolls. There was an opened one on the table in front of him and a beam of sunshine was hitting it directly. The butter was melted and glistening. I noticed him eyeing it a couple of times and, sure enough, he reached over, brought it to his mouth, tipped his head back and poured it down. When he finished I asked how it was. "Amazing"

Anyone ever eat a butter sugar sandwich? I loved them as a kid

This blew my mind. I’m almost 50 and have never heard of this until now. I feel like I’ve been doing life all wrong for 50 years! Thanks for the valuable education ;)

That analogy was so specific. Why do I get the feeling that Dan was talking about himself and a long-lost high school sweetheart? 😂

Just tried this now, absolutely fantastic. Added garlic, capers, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper. Wife had it with eggs and burger 'patties'. Loved it!
