Do not do this at home.
[Mitch]: We're what you call experts?
We're doing the Remy Martin Napoleon Extra Old. So this is not cheap stuff.
So look at this- oh.
We had some cork failure here.
And... oh.
We're going to have to be careful on this.
It's not what we want, but...
Anyways...
Let's see if we can do a cork retrieval.
We- I'd- um- this is totally unexpected.
Oh. [pop] There we go.
Good corks' hard to come by now.
This is our cognac.
But usually it only goes of when...
Flambé duck breast.
[Mitch]: Oh, now we're getting- oooh!
More flame activity but it'll all just burn off.
[Mitch]: So then we add more?
We're using Remy Martin, it's a pretty expensive cooking wine
it's about $65 a bottle.
[Mitch]: Not enough alcohol?
No, the matches were outside, maybe.
[Mitch]: Oh, you put the matches outside?
Did you get that?
[Mitch]: Yes.
See? That's what I say: you never know what to expect.
Using Remy Martin, $65 a bottle.
We're just going to put a little bit on.
But we only put quite a bit on.
[Mitch]: Oh, you should use up a whole bottle.
Because we kind of like... a flambé
We're going to use the RiverRock matches.
And here we go.
OK, here we go now.
[Chef]: Don't do this at home.
So now we take all of that mmness...
[Mitch]: ...and we pour it back into the bottle.
Yeah.
Remy Martin: not your ordinary cheap liquor.
We're going to flambé our halibut
with serrano ham.
So we put a bit on here.
Actually we're going to put a bit because we like lots of flambé action.
We've got the matches from RiverRock.
There you go.
[Chef]: Oh, look at those flames.
[Mitch]: Mmm-hmm.
But... this is what we've got here.
That might flambé pretty good actually.
[Mitch]: Let's get some oxygen in here.
We'll do a fuelling.
Using Remy Martin.
Actually I think we've got lots in there now.
[Mitch]: Because the E doesn't stand for 'Enough to get you where you need to go.'
Matches from RiverRock.
There goes.
[Chef]: This is flambé cooking.
[Mitch]: And it's the last flambé of the year
and these are now DEAD SOLDIERS. So...
[Amazing Grace plays throughout]
[Mitch]: Oh, it's time to bring the DEAD SOLDIERS down the Highway of Heroes and to...
[Mitch]: And we have another one.
[Amazing Grace continues to play thorughout]
