Btw, double dipping is fine if you're alone.

I'm pretty sure Food Wishes was the first channel I subscribed to years ago. You have made it a great ride Chef John

"You're in charge of the administration of your crustacean" has me still laughing! I love your sense of humor - it goes hand in hand with your great recipes!

Is there anything better than rewatching the Food Wishes video while you're eating your newest favorite recipe? Nope! Another winner :)

We arrived at almost the same recipe - can attest to its deliciousness. One ingredient that I include that I consider to be critical is finely diced red bell pepper. The bell pepper brings a vegetal freshness that cuts the intensity of the rest of the ingredients. Cheers yall!

A friend is going crabbing for some Dungeness this weekend. I think I know what I’m going to make. Thanks Chef John!

I did indeed say "That's not lump crab meat." haha. Ya got me.

The smaller portions being put out as needed is brilliant - our much loved and missed former neighbor had a production line of these types of hot and cold dips ready to go for any occasions which allowed her to snap up items when they were on sale, do the prep, freeze them and...VOILA!

This looks AWESOME. I think that might make for an excellent rangoon filling!

“Hot Crab Drip” is a great band name. Or perhaps an album.

I'm surprised that Chef John doesn't have a recipe for Cayenne pepper soup! It could be as simple as 2 cups of your choice of broth and 1/2 cup of Cayenne pepper! 😂
