Binging with Babish: The Wire Special

The Wire, when it's not mercilessly killing off characters you've come to love and care about, is a showcase of Baltimore junk food specialities. Lake trout, pit beef, eggs cracked into beers - come for the gritty and heartbreaking depictions of heroin addicts and inner city grade schoolers, stay for the eats!

Music: "Heart Ache" by Broke for Free

Babish: "Inferior season 2"

Greeks: "This one, no hands no face"

Season 2 is just misunderstood. Its actually fantastic

[Duskets]

Imagine being so hungry that you cop to like 4 additional murder charges for another sandwich.

You can't say 'efficiency' without saying 'fish'.

Totally late to the upload, but I did want to note that I actually made the pit beef. I've been trying to expand what I cook, and deviate from the rut I've found ourselves in (thanks to having to budget like crazy) I found a bottom round roast on sale, and followed the recipe here. (Sans horseradish) It was life changing. Even my kids went for seconds, and one went for thirds!

So, uhm...thank you, for this. Seriously, thank you. It was a highlight of my weekend to make an amazingly tasty dish, and it didn't break our budget either. I can't explain how relieving that was, and how much it makes a difference to have a really *nice* meal like that.

"Despite hailing from Baltimore this fish sports a semi-southern coat"

That sounds exactly like Baltimore?

[UnPhayzable]

When are you making *The Glass of Water* from every TV show?

[ehabshanan]

One of these days you'll make an episode about how to make The Blue Meth from Breaking Bad. I'm waiting.

[Jackson-mszs]

Here to pile on the season 2 support because ALL THE PIECES MATTER.

My fryer's a little small so I'm gonna sort of do one after another for the sake of e-fish-ency

[rustcohle]

'Inferior Season 2'. And this is how you revealed yourself as a casual.

“You can cook your meat any way you like but if you cook it more than this you are incorrect”

[inordirectional]

"Kind of inferior season 2": what is this heresy?

[colliebai]

An upload from BWB is all i need for Christmas.

Being from Baltimore, I'm very VERY happy to see this 😁 Lake Trout, the actual takeout restaurant, is a gem here!

Make the Teletubbies “tubby custard” I’ve always wondered what it tasted like or how it would be made. My life would be complete if you make video on the tubby custard

[teejaykaye]

Just got a Binging with Babish ad before a Binging with Babish video. The circle is truly complete.

[copperblaze]

Who knew forearms, tats, somtimes half a beard showing, and a nice voice could make me watch anything you put before us.

[leedodds]

Natty boh should've been the beer you drank. It's Baltimore in a can.

Babish:"Carbs, proteins, booze"
Me:"Salmonella!"
