In the first episode of Binging with Babish, is it possible for a turkey burger to taste better than a beef burger? Some say no, but others say...no. Turkey patty recipe adapted from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt (The Food Lab).
Is this laborious, old-school Italian showstopper just a fat, kinky lasagna? Or is there something more, good enough to make stage and film actor Ian Holm want to kill you? Methods adapted from The Food Lab, David Lebovitz, and America's Test Kitchen.
Sometimes an existential crisis makes you want to actually attend that potluck, so you have to make something, but you don't do desserts, so you make fried chicken, but you don't have time to brine it, so you follow Louis C.K.'s trick in this video.
What dish can make any man or woman ache for the touch of Jon Favreau? Pasta Aglio e Olio is the dreamy midnight snack that lives up to its porny portrayal in the foodie-comedy-drama "Chef".
It's been 25 strange and beautiful years since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze danced its way across the silver screen and into Americans' hearts. Now we look back at that pizza eating scene, and how we can have pizza too.
Michael B. Jordan finally lands a role in which he doesn't die tragically - on the contrary, he gets to enjoy a philly cheese steak with his bohemian dj-girlfriend between bouts. Is it possible to make this delicacy at home, or is it forever trapped on the silver screen?
I never watched Friends but I couldn't google "thanksgiving sandwiches in television and film" without getting about a billion Ross Geller references. Disgusting as the word "moistmaker" is, it makes a damned fine sandwich out of your delicious turkey day leftovers.
Say what you want about gangsters - the garroting, the cocaine use, the shooting-a-guy-in-his-foot-for-no-reason - the guys know how to eat, even in prison. Follow along as we make old-school Sunday gravy, and please, try not to piss off Tommy. Recipe below!
Spanglish, the movie your aunt refers to as a "must-watch!", is home to a Thomas Keller-inspired creation known around the internet as "The World's Greatest Sandwich". Can such familiar ingredients earn such a prestigious moniker? Let's find out, and let's take it one step further: by baking our own rustic country loaf to act as the "bread" for our creation. Recipe below!
Eggs Woodhouse is the impossibly indulgent dish prepared for spoiled superspy Sterling Archer by his faithful butler, Woodhouse. Will these decadent ingredients sing together in harmony outside the cartoon world?
Will Ferrell is a man who wears many hats, but one of his most famous is his pointy Elf cap donned in the eponymous 2003 contemporary Christmas classic. Will I be imbued with holiday cheer upon my first bite, or will my face cringe into an unrecognizable James Caan-like countenance?
The Big Kahuna Burger is one of the countless themes running throughout numerous Tarantino films, almost as prevalent as revenge, lurid violence, and racial epithets. After this double-stacked caramelized-pineapple-and-onion Hawaiian smash-burger, you're gonna need a Red Apple cigarette.
I Love You, Man is a timeless Rudd-Segel vehicle for comedy, romance, bromance, and for a few fleeting and beautiful moments, food porn. Fish tacos are shared amongst bros while they talk about about sex and stuff - don't you deserve the same? Show your best male-friend how much you care with a plate full of these tacos today.
Kevin Malone is the tragically comic overweight buffoon (and World Series of Poker champion?) we all know and love from The Office. When he's not shotgunning cookie jars full of M&M's, Kevin sometimes treats his coworkers to the Malone family's mainstay: chili. Let's follow along and try very hard not to spill any.
Hans Landa is the sherlock-pipe-smokin', famous-actress-chokin', Brad-Pitt-pokin' SS detective we all love to hate. Sure he massacred Shosanna's family right in front of her, but hey, guy knows not-so-terrible strudel when he sees it. Follow along this week as we make old-school Viennese apfelstrudel, and don't forget the cream.
Jack Donaghy knows how to do Valentine's Day - specifically, he knows how to do the most decadent Valentine's Day possible. Fruitlessly attempt to impress your partner as we delicately drape 24-karat gold atop homemade ice cream, cognac, and unnecessarily-expensive chocolate.
The gang dreams up some disgusting, heavily alcoholic dishes and drinks in the irreverent multiple-people-shouting-at-once-comedy, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Strap on your kitten mittens and whip up some wine in a can as we faithfully recreate each revolting repast, and if you aren't blackout drunk yet, see if we can make them palatable.
Remy is an especially-clean-looking rat that's been given the gift of Gusteau's gastronomy. Let's see if his signature dish is worth staking an entire restaurant's reputation upon for the sake of a pun. Special thanks to my nephew Christopher for portraying young Babish!
Chiron is prepared a Cuban classic in the movie I don't really want to make fun of here in the description: Moonlight. Simple ingredients prepared simply often yield stunning results - will the chef's special rise to the occasion? Special thanks to my buddy Steve for letting me use his gorgeous new kitchen!
Restaurant chalkboards have become the artistic outlet of choice for coffee shops and pubs, but more than anyone, for the titular character of Bob's Burgers. Can a play on words make for a great burger, or will Bob's punny patties fall flat? Only thyme will tell.
Scholars have attempted to crack the code to the perfect sandwich for millennia - in the end, it was Jake the Dog who finally achieved the zenith of 'wichcraft. Can Jake's glowing dream sandwich be realized outside the cartoon realm, or will it topple under the weight of its 12 separate components?
Chef is holy ground for film foodies, and as demonstrated in a previous episode, has some real culinary chops behind it (courtesy of Roy Choi). I love a good Cubano as much as the next guy, but can some garlic and citrus really elevate my favorite hangover snack into something worthy of a What-About-Bob-Style "mmm"-fest?
I was 9 when Szechuan sauce graced sauce pumps across the nation, so naturally, I can't remember at all what it tastes like. But with the help of some actual Szechuan sauce (like, the stuff from Sichuan), a Redditor's diligent recreation, a fast-food-secret: mixing things together in different ways and repackaging it, we might just come close!
Tampopo is a genre-bender ahead of its time, affectionately referred to as a "ramen western". Like spaghetti western. But Japanese. Hence the ramen. It's a play on words, you don't get it. This 1985 foodie flight of fancy features a 'ramen master', who artfully studies and mindfully consumes his bowl of steaming noodles and broth. NOTE: I forgot to mention in the video, this came out absolutely fan-fucking-tastic. The noodles were tender but chewy, the broth was flavorful without being too fishy, and the pork was exquisite.
South Park is home to a surprising number of tempting foodstuffs. Granted, they're all subtly gross in one way or another, but that doesn't make Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls sound any less appealing. Especially when it's being sung at you by Isaac Hayes. Open wide.
Frequently, watching a Meryl Streep movie means you're watching it for Meryl Streep, and not much else. But in the case of Julie & Julia, a host of stunning food porn accompanies Streep's charming turn as the late/great Julia Child. Does the recipe from Julia's first-ever television appearance stand the test of time?
Homer Simpson revels in combining food and drink with wild abandon: every liquor in the house set aflame with cough syrup, skittles floating in beer, tomatoes cross-bred with tobacco. Few, however, are as heartbreakingly realistic as the H.S.P.S.A.O.O.T.W.M.W. Strip down to your undies, strap on an apron, and let's clog some arteries.
Maybe one of the most delicious food plots of the 90s, or any decade for that matter, hails from a lesser-known sitcom called 'Seinfeld'. This scrappy little American comedy featured a so-called "Soup Nazi", and while you might not recognize his signature catchphrase "No soup for you!", hopefully you can tell by now that I'm joking. Join me as I take my best crack at his wild mushroom soup, Elaine's muffin tops, and Jerry's aptly-defended cinnamon babka.
Dev Shah is a man who cares a great deal about food - so much so that he spends the better part of his afternoons scouring the internet for the very best taco truck. With season 2 delving even further into a culinary storyline, it only seemed appropriate to welcome back Master of None with Dev's victory over pasta carbonara.
Looking at his work, it would appear as though David Lynch loves a few themes: surrealism. Dream sequences. Machinery. And apparently, coffee. Learn how to make the fluffiest of pancakes and the coffeeist of coffees with the help of Nick Fisher from Cocktail Chemistry as we welcome back Twin Peaks this weekend.
When you think of The Walking Dead, the word 'appetizing' certainly doesn't come to mind. It's no surprise then that Carol Peletier's foraged cookies are earthy, doughy, ugly desserts of necessity. Hobbled by the 3-punch-combo of beets, acorns, and water chestnuts, follow along as we try and fail to make a concoction worth baking.
The Krabby Patty is a thing of pop culture culinary legend - a burger, forged from a secret formula, worshipped by a sociopathically upbeat sponge. How do we go about recreating that which is not reacreate-able? A bit of science, a bit of whimsy, and a whole lot of wanton conjecture. Fill in the blanks with me this week as we build an umami burger using ingredients from mother ocean!
Matilda, Danny DeVito's thunderous directorial follow-up to Hoffa (1992), features an inexplicably tempting chocolate cake, despite its open admission of containing bodily fluids. Sit down and consume this entire confection today alongside Dan Pashman of The Sporkful.
Frank Underwood is many things: A husband. A politician. A duplicitous, machiavellian psychosexual deviant with a bloodlust for power. A purveyor of fine Carolinian barbecue. Opening just for him at 7:30AM is Freddy's Ribs, a southern barbecue joint that we can surmise is serving 'cue up in the style of Underwood's hometown of Gaffney, South Carolina. Just in time for Father's Day, here's three different means by which to achieve that genuine Southern barbecue, even from the confines of a 4th-story walkup.
President Josiah Bartlet, apart from being a charismatic and noble leader of these United States, had a real thing for food. Be it the Butterball turkey hotline or pumpkin soup with cheese gnocchi, the man knew both good policy and food. If only he weren't a figment of Aaron Sorkin's imagination, much like this interpretation of Alain Passard's dessert tomato.
Cocktails hold a special place in movies, television, and my heart. Whether it's Bogie drinking away his problems in a nazi-occupied lounge or The Dude sucking caucasian out of his mustache, the cocktail represents an important milestone in the lexicon of human achievement: making booze taste better so we can get smashed faster. Please drink responsibly guys, seriously. Don't let me catch you driving or some stupid bullshit after you've had one too many vespers, because your simple ass thinks that you're James Bond. You're not James Bond, call a cab.
Robert Freeman is a man with strong opinions, a hair trigger on his belt, and a penchant for foods so fatty they put you to sleep. The Itis, Robert's catastrophic soul food franchise, so effectively renders its selfsame phenomenon that it nearly destroys the town. Food from the Freeman menu is best consumed annually.
This weekend we're welcoming back the show that has the monopoly on lurid violence, epic battles, and wholly unnecessary nudity: Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin's ability to describe the crunching of a skull is rivaled only by his ability to describe the crunching of a pastry, so it's only fitting that this sexy saga is home to some serious food porn. And revenge porn. And porn porn. I'm a main character in this show, so my life is decidedly in danger this week. **I can't believe I should have to mention this, but do not actually ingest strychnine. It's poison. It was a joke. Don't be stupid.**
Take a sordid peek behind the curtains of the BwB stage and see how I make the show each week. Then, join me as I endeavor to stack as many Mexican, French, Italian, and American layers into one beer-battered monstrosity known as the Pizza Crepe Taco Pancake Chili Bag.
Lemon Pepper Wet is an Atlantan institution, virtually unknown outside the Peach State until Donald Glover's groundbreaking series made us salivate without even showing us the pay dirt. Look behind the Pulp-Fiction-style glowing MacGuffin and see the saucy, zesty wings underneath with this week's episode. Shout out to J. Kenji Lopez-Alt for his groundbreaking oven wing technique.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild may very well be the first open-world RPG developed for the Switch, released in 2017, not including DLC, to so prominently feature cooking in its story and strategy. At least it will be in my mind until someone angrily corrects me in the comments. Seldom have fruits and vegetables dancing in a wok over an open fire yielded so many hearty stews, stamina potions, and pixelated monstrosities.
Once Upon a Time in Mexico, against all odds, played a large role in the creation of BwB - my first-ever DVD, its special features showed me that I could one day be a filmmaker *and* a chef. In this 2003 Banderas action-comedy, Johnny Depp inexplicably caps a cook for making this Yucatánian special a bit too perfectly; as director Robert Rodriguez says, make at your own peril.
Wes Anderson's films are rife with clashing color schemes, furrow-browed pedantry, and rich character development set against an oddly symmetrical backdrop. In the case of The Grand Budapest Hotel, it's also home to a pastry as precious as its parentage. The Courtesan au Chocolat, a delicate tower of puffed up pâtissière and saccharine masonry, is the challenge faced this week in the BwB kitchen.
Agent Fitz's favorite sandwich on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a classic - prosciutto, mozzarella, and pesto aioli. Like any great sandwich or fictional superhero organization, it comes together to make something greater than the sum of its parts. That is until Ward so callously tosses it into the darkness for comic effect.
Regular Show regularly shows some fantastical and impossible food items - sandwiches that kill you, wings that kill you, skydiving pizza pockets - but few are quite so worthy of recreation as the Ultimeatum, the burger-within-a-burger-between-two-burgers. And ketchup from the Himalayas. Follow along this week to see if we can beat Chef Ajay Maldonaldo at his own game.
Rodney Dangerfield made a career on thumbing his nose at social mores, making sexual advances toward older women, and eating a giant sandwich made out of hors d'oeuvres. Today we're honoring him, sandwiches, and the throngs of students returning to school with this towering example of 80s excess and flavorblindness. Recipe available in my book, coming out October 3rd!
Last round, my efforts to recreate the fabled McDonald's Szechuan Sauce were wild, flailing shots in the dark, pathetic and meager attempts to recreate a long-lost condiment out of scanty information and back-alley sources. But now, thanks to a very kind man named David Wasman, I have procured a sample of the genuine article. Follow along this week as we make a rendition of Szechuan Sauce near-identical to the Mulan-inspired goop from 1998. And make some wannabe Chicken McNuggets while we're at it.
Whiplash is probably best remembered for its Oscar-winning performances, Oscar-winning screenplay, and the triumphant return of Paul Reiser to the silver screen. And no scene more memorable than the incredulously shared movie theater snack crunched upon by the man himself and his son - follow along today as we unlock the secrets of true movie-theater popcorn at home, pointlessly recreated Raisinets, and the dark art of tempering chocolate.
Mad Men continued AMC's hot streak of well-acted, well-written, morally irreverent dramas with its sordid look at the lives of Madison Avenue's top advertisers. In an early episode, Roger Sterling attempts to woo America's favorite mistress with a light room service lunch: Oysters Rockefeller, Beef Wellington, and Napoleons. This week, blatantly disregard your cholesterol levels and fire up a Lucky Strike as we indulge in some hotel-room-hedonism with our silver fox boss.
In the 1987 holy grail for film-foodies and old-people-staring-at-things-wistfully enthusiasts, Babette's Feast, some highfalutin dishes are prepared for some haughty aristocrats. Twirl your handlebar mustache, throw on your dinner habit, and try your best not to say aloud how delicious everything is.
Larry David fluctuates wildly between flagrantly eschewing and rigorously enforcing cultural mores, all of which frequently revolve around food. Slow ice cream orderers, religiously forbidden chicken, caviar entitlement - they're all fodder for Larry's machinations of social upheaval. Just don't eat the man's shrimp.
Michael Gary Scott has many monikers - practitioner of Propeica, spokesman for scotch & splenda, tormentor of Toby, and pioneer of pretzel paraphernalia. Not listed among these accolades is arterial health, as our sugar-hyped-hero forgoes a day's work for the sake of a fully-loaded pretzel, courtesy of Stanley's favorite annual visitor. Hope you've got your Gary Glitter cued up.
The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of books known for their talking fauna, religious overtones, and sickly sweets offered up by the White Witch, Jadis. Turkish Delight may be a delight for some accustomed palates, but can be fancifully altered with a number of different flavor concentrates. Whip up a batch to coerce and manipulate the black sheep of your choosing today.
The history of eating one's fellow man is rich with culinary tradition and innovation, carried on in no small part by Dr. Hannibal Lecter. In this pivotal scene, he gives a fellow killer a taste of his own medicine, so to speak - if, at the time, he had medicine in his bloodstream, because he's eating his own leg. So to speak. Celebrate Halloween in style with this traditional clay-baked entrée with a little help from FoodTube's favorite mystery man, You Suck at Cooking.
Eleven is a sci-fi heroine with a proclivity for burgers, fries, and above all, America's favorite freezer waffle: Eggos. But when you stack them thrice high, layer them with whipped cream and Hershey kisses, and top with Reese's Pieces and jelly beans - you can summon her from even the angstiest of adolescent protests.
The Harry Potter series is essentially a 7-book guide to everything you wish your childhood was - finding out you're a wizard, running away from home, and indulging in a bevy of treats both mainstay and magical. Rock cakes, cockroach clusters, acid pops, chocolate frogs, and of course, butterbeer. Throw on your dorky glasses and sharpie a lightning bolt on your forehead for this week's examination of the real-world sweets from possibly the world's most popular book series about child sorcerers.
The residents of 90 Bedford Street enjoy a rich variety of culinary contributions from roommate Rachel Green - her traditional English trifle receiving the greatest acclaim, particularly from Joey and a lucky passerby bird. Go ahead and don't enjoy this meaty, jammy monstrosity this holiday season.
Go Bills.
You thought Dulé Hill couldn't steal the show once again after his residency on the West Wing - well, back by popular demand, he's reprising his role as Burton Guster in the tv-movie revival of Psych this weekend. Revel in the duo's stoner-like propensity for hilariously unhealthy snacks with this week's recreation of a fan favorite: potatoes, stuffed with four cheeses, deep-fried, breaded, and re-fried, nestled on a bed of ancho sour cream and crispy bacon.
Ned Flanders might be an uncomfortable source of familial affection and exaggerated Judeo-Christian values, but he's also the source of some damned fine-looking hot cocoa. In the silver-screen adaptation of America's longest-running-animated-adult-comedy-cartoon-family, Flanders continues his assault on the Simpson's way of life with a steaming mug of human kindness and empathy.
A Christmas Story, beyond its bunny suits and leg lamps, is fondly remembered by Generation X-ers for its unfortunate portrayal of Chinese-Americans, and their alluring turkey alternative: peking duck. Crisp skin, juicy meat, deep flavor, all wrapped up in a Mandarin-style pancake with thinly sliced cucumbers, scallions, and hoisin sauce? Fa la la la la, la la la la.
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!
Mark Corrigan, when he's not committing social atrocities in front of his friends, family, employers, coworkers, or random strangers, often commits them in front of the various loves of his life. In his latest desperate ploy for domestic bliss, he mashes together his romantic cheesy pasta dinner with some hastily procured pantry items - with lots of lettuce. Start 2018 off on a painfully awkward note with Mark's 'Moroccan' pasta and cocktails.
While Seymour Skinner's tour in Vietnam sounds a bit cushy, there's no doubt that he's dutifully served our country - more so by even trying to get Bart Simpson through middle school. As the cold weather makes its final offense, indulge in the 4-rice 2-seafood stew of Skinner's shellshocked memory - or cram some neon-colored cheese into a sandwich and pretend you're Ralph Wiggum.
This week we're celebrating hitting 2 million subscribers with maybe the most cartoonish cartoon food ever imagined: the every-meat burrito. While we were unable to procure any giraffe, jackal, or naked mole rat, the combination of every commercially-available meat ended up tasting like something far worse than chicken. Follow along as we get that taste out of our mouth with the every-pork burrito!
Don Draper likes his french toast the way he likes himself - drenched in booze. An over-proofed brioche, a cabin in the woods, two accidental audio glitches, and a whole lot of dark rum are at the center of this week's revisiting of Madison Avenue's frequent clashes of food and alcohol. Enjoy with a Lucky Strike.
Toad in a hole. Spit in the ocean. One-eyed jack. Eggy in a basket. Gashouse eggs. All names for one delightfully simple treat: an egg fried into a piece of toast. Follow along this week as we recreate the breakfast mainstay made famous by Mary Jane's Pa. And Moonstruck. And V for Vendetta, Moons Over Miami, Friends, The Meddlers, Lucifer, and Frasier.
"We need to cook" takes on nefarious new meaning when grumbled by everyone's favorite sociopathic chemistry teacher - or his meth head sidekick. Breaking Bad assaults the senses with striking visuals and heart wrenching storylines, all while teasing the tastebuds with promises of dipping sticks. Follow along this week as we whip up a batch of slightly-less-illicit crystal blue persuasion. Bitch.
As luck would have it, I was in an all-male version of "The Mikado" at Oxford. People still ask to see my Yum-Yum!
Carl Casper is normally a pretty chill dude - but smugly shit on his shit, and you will catch the wrath of a man amidst a full-blown creative crisis. Follow along this week as we join the star of and culinary brains behind 'Chef' in this, our fourth foray into Favreauvian film food. A huge and heartfelt thanks to Jon Favreau and Roy Choi, I had an absolute blast making cakes with you guys!!
Pixar's latest laser-guided annihilator of heartstrings, Coco, starts off in the sunny Mexican town of Santa Cecilia, where 12-year-old Miguel's abulea does two things very well: staving off music of any kind, and slinging tamales. These little packets of south-of-the-border love can be tricky and time-consuming, but make for the perfect Oscar party snack next week when we watch Coco inevitably lose the trophy to Boss Baby.
Walter Mitty is best known for his wild imagination, profound character arc, and penchant for Papa Johns, Cinnabon, eHarmony, Air Greenland, and a host of other popular products. He, some eastern European sailors, and some warlords on horseback also share a soft spot for Walter's Mother's Clementine Cake. Follow along this week as, thanks to a sinus infection, we voicelessly recreate this bright, tart, quirky treat.
If you're looking for unique humor, delicious-looking food, and rampant cartoon sexualization, look no further than Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma. In this culinary fist fight, the owner of the oldest restaurant in Chinatown whips up a sweet and salty ensemble purported to have "advanced Chinese cuisine". Could pineapple fried rice possibly live up to the hype? Check out all 3 seasons of Food Wars! on Crunchyroll.
The chicken/meatball/eggplant/veal parm hero - not only is it my death row meal, it's the object of affection for many of our favorite fictional characters. Spongebob buys an entire house made of parm hero, Joey Tribbiani nearly takes a bullet for one, Agent Harris feeds one directly to a parasite
This week, we forgo the usual clip from the movie - an unfortunate scene wherein the CGI cat dances along to the Black Eyed Peas - in favor of a clip from this week's collab with Brad Leone! Join Brad, Vinny and I as we seek to build the perfect pile of pasta, otherwise known as lasagna.
Amelie has no boyfriend. Instead, she has a grab-bag of cute, twee French girl activities - and what could be more twee or french than all the dainty little circumflexes and accents sprinkled atop crème brûlée? Use your culinary torch for something other than sous vide and 6-paper-joints for once, and follow along as we recreate this delectable Francophilian fancyfood.
Joss Whedon didn't just bring dynamic characters, dazzling action, and rapid-fire quips to the MCU - he brought one character's singular hunger, a hunger that grew like a virus within the Avengers themselves. A hunger...for shawarma. Solemnly munch along in silence this week as we marvel at a carnivorous carousel and puff up some pita.
Tomorrow, April 12th (not the 20th, strangely enough), is National Grilled Cheese day. Show your reverence for this auspicious day by griddling up some bread, cheese, and butter - but nothing else - otherwise you made yourself a melt.
Joe Pantoliano has portrayed a bevy of characters with questionable hairpieces, questionable facial hair, and a complete lack of morality or empathy. This week's villainous snack is no exception - Cypher is pure Pantoliano, and only he could make talking with your mouth full still seem appetizing. Scheme along with your favorite shady compatriot as we enjoy this week's less flavorful, but nevertheless indulgent steakhouse classic.
Despite being a fabricated entity, composed only of Tony Stark's code and some rare/non-existent elements, the Marvel demigod known as Vision sure knows how to whip up some mean paprikash. That is, if he actually used paprika, as opposed to some other misplaced bright-red pantry-mainstay. Gear up for Avengers: Infinity War this week as we delve into this classic Sokovian (actually Hungarian) comfort food.
If you're going to torpedo your diet, you might as well go down in a blaze of glory - and that's exactly what Gina Linetti does with wild abandon in Brooklyn Nine-Nine when she whips out a Sloppy Jessica. Please don't make this - like I'm not gonna stop you, but you honestly shouldn't eat this. But maybe though.
Jenna Hunterson is excels in many arenas: making pies, coming up with sentence-long names for said pies, customer service, and wrangling her downright horrible husband. But mostly pies. Follow along this week as we recreate three of her superlative sweets, and support the foundation established in memory of the film's writer, director, and co-star.
Note: this is not the new kitchen! Special thanks to The Harley School for letting me use theirs! Liz Lemon is much more than a fictional character to compare yourself to in your Tinder profile - she's dynamic, she's strong, and she's kind of gross in her personal life. One of her many gross attributes is a taste for Cheesy Blasters, the MeatCat™-approved snack containing jack cheese, hot dogs, and pizza. Can we make a sort-of-not-gross version of our favorite NBC Executive Producer's preferred midnight snack? Only one way to find out.
Bubble Bass is notorious in Bikini Bottom for three things: his hideous laugh, his pathological dishonesty, and his sophisticated palate for Krabby Patties. Follow along this week as we examine his soundboard of secret-menu jargon and take a crack at the almost-impossible-to-recreate patty melt - from the all-new BwB kitchen!
And now, the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and their occasional culinary inventiveness in the face of adversity. From faulty deep-fryers to a legacy built on frozen bananas, the Bluths have dreamt up a wealth of money-making treats. Well, except for hot ham water. Somebody call Gene Parmesan.
"Leave the gun, take the cannoli" - is there a more iconic line spoken in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather? I mean, apart from almost every other line of dialogue? In a film defined by its own endless defining moments, food still manages to stand out as a memorable supporting character. I mean, it wouldn't be much of an Italian mobster film without it.
Pasta puttanesca can mean many things - a bonding moment for a family enduring unspeakable tragedy. A peace offering to a conniving, distant relative and his wannabe-drama-nerd-cronies. A "prostitute pasta", its literal translation from Italian to English. Whatever pasta puttanesca means to you, it's basically a bunch of anchovies and olives mashed into spaghetti, and it tastes better than it sounds.
Wade Wilson knew exactly what he was doing when he ordered that pizza - he knew I'd one day have to recreate and eat it. Yes I know the comic was written well before I started making the show. Yes I know Wade Wilson is a fictional character. Let me imagine that Ryan Reynolds did something to mess with me okay?
I was gonna hold off on making this episode until the new live-action Mulan came out, but principal photography hasn't even started yet, and it's expected to come out in 2020. So as I slowly recover from Vidcon, join me as I make one of the simplest and most essential dishes in our illustrious human history: porridge. Specifically, porridge made from rice, topped with a smiley face bacon-and-eggs affair. Leave it to Mushu.
Bubba Gump Shrimp doesn't have to be associated with a horrible chain restaurant in Times Square - it can be the fullest realization of Bubba's love for the fruit of the sea. Creamy shrimp salad, crispy coconut shrimp, luscious shrimp gumbo - join me as I embark upon the first few dishes on the illustrious list dreamt up by everyone's best good friend. And I managed to do it without even a single Forrest Gump impression!
Peter Griffin isn't a practical, intelligent, kind, or relatable man. I'm not sure where I was going with that - point is, guy is a slob (even for a cartoon), and he made a sandwich and you guys all wanted to watch me eat it. Well here ya go.
Okonomiyaki, a dish whose name literally means "how you like", can contain any number of fillings. But as depicted in Sweetness & Lightning, it can contain a great deal more: childlike wonder, paternal bonding, and squid. Follow along this week as we recreate this essential Japanese comfort food, and maybe learn a thing or two about growing up in the process.
Hey y'all, I have half a mind to fix up a mess of fried green tomatoes 'fore I get three sheets to the wind over there yonder! Or something. Fuel your Southern side with this week's deep-fried treat, featured prominently in the film of the same name.
You haven't heard of sandwich day? It's one special day each year that the teamsters gleefully hand out roast beef, fresh mozzarella, and roast red pepper sandwiches with special dipping sauce from their secret Brooklyn deli. Now, thanks to a single thirdhand source on the internet, that secret deli has been revealed as Fiore's House of Quality in Hoboken, NJ. This week, let's take a crack at bringing some of those generations-old Italian secrets into our kitchen.
This isn't the first time we've taken a look at the foods featured in Jon Favreau's food-film masterclass, Chef. In fact, it isn't the second or third time. And it won't be the last. Follow along this week as we recreate these crunchy, squeezy, soft Crescent City donuts that finally brought a father and son together.
Disney films often adorn their supporting characters with lowkey foodie characteristics - Mushu's offering of congee, Timon's love of cream-filled beetles, Snow White's partiality to poison apples - but none quite so sweet and prideful and Kronk's love of spinach puffs. Celebrate the 17.75th-year anniversary of this David Spade classic with these crunchy, cheesy, buttery, spinach-y appetizers.
Every thousand years, a food challenge appears that blows everyone away - the eggscellent challenge is not that challenge. Sure, it's a ridiculous breakfast portion, but a competitive eater with a sliver more gumption than I've got could've housed it easily.
There's a wealth of food showcased in HBO's genre-defining classic The Sopranos, but few (if any) surround a real, actual human romance. That's right, the short-but-passionate affair between a noticeably thinner Vito and his mystery-fireman-studmuffin Jim "Johnny Cakes". Labor under the delusion that these star-crossed lovers won't meet a tragic end as we share in their shared New England indulgence, johnny cakes with housemade sausage.
Taking Daniel Day-Lewis' breakfast order is a double-edged sword: get it right, and you fall in love with an abusive fashion designer whom you feel the need to poison to stay in love with. Get it wrong, and you'll probably never work in this town again. Thread the needle this week as we try and recreate breakfast for the hungry boy. The clotted cream, butter, and jam in this episode all came out sensational - the welsh rarebit and scones, however, could use some work. Go check out the YouTuber that inspired this week's episode here for some solid recipes! https://youtu.be/WU-Lc3uCM9Y
Makin' pancakes, makin' bacon pancakes. Take some bacon and I put it in a pancake. Bacon pancakes that's what it's gonna make; bacon pancaaaaaaaaaakes!
Doug Yancey Funnie was voiced by none other than Billy West - and now, if you think about Doug's voice, you can't help but hear Fry from Futurama. You're welcome. Unfortunately we're not trying out Honker Burgers or Mr. Sleech's Donuts; instead, follow along this week as we ruin some perfectly good pizza.
We're back with another culinary curiosity from HBO's hottest s-expositional serial, Game of Thrones, this time with the help of the murderous Queen of the North herself: Maisie Williams! Can we whip up a wolf-shaped treat that would do Hot Pie proud?
Ron Stoppable has a penchant for food creativity, and he pulls out all the stops at Team Possible's favorite high-cholesterol haunt, Bueno Nacho. Will the Naco, a seemingly-ingenious combination of nachos and tacos, live up to the promise of its name? Probably.
More than once, Peter Parker takes a 'swing' (sorry) at hanging up the web shooters in favor of a skillet and spatula. And without wishing to spoil the entire game for you, he apparently makes a hell of a curry. Can he, however, atone for his failures in dumpling-and-wheatcake-making? Let's find out!
Peggy Hill is many things: she's a mother. A boggle champ. A substitute teacher (substitute teacher of the year twice, in fact). A sculptor. A foot fetish model. A kidnapper. A survivor of a fall from 13,000 feet without a parachute. The mother of the 15th Dalai Lama. She is by her own admission, however, not a very good cook. Will her specialty dishes make it into the clean plate club?
Okay, let's face it, I just wanted an excuse to make cinnamon rolls this week - and Jim Gaffigan ranting about them to a 2006 audience's delight was good enough for me. Follow along this week as we bake up a batch of the saccharine cinnamon sweet; careful, you just might learn a thing or two.
Not even a fully-automatic money gun is enough to stop Mako Mankanshoku when she's got her heart set on Osakan street food - quite the contrary, it only fuels her appetite. Follow along with this week's easy-once-you-get-all-the-specialty-ingredients-and-equipment classic Japanese street snack, Takoyaki!
Food in video games has seen a renaissance in the past few years, with vittles playing a pivotal role in your mere survival as a character. Rockstar games inches ever-closer to real life in video game form with Red Dead Redemption 2, where you can buy, hunt, cook, steal, and eat your nutritional requirements every day. You never seem to need to go to the bathroom though... Special thanks to Justin Bailey, a wilderness expert without whom this episode would not have been possible! Go check out his Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theoutdoorethos/
This episode was sponsored by The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. I was given the opportunity to choose a dish to be featured on their secret room service menu: Eggs Florentine. When you visit Vegas, make sure you order it and tag me and @VenetianLasVegas. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/venetianvegas This week, we return once again to the hallowed halls of the fancy foods of Frasier. Instead of the brothers Crane, however, we turn to Lilith Sternin for inspiration as we recreate her postcoital breakfast of choice, eggs florentine - even if it's slathered in ketchup and devoured in the bathroom.
Fun fact: Chilean sea bass was nearly fished into extinction after its mere mention in Jurassic Park! That's actually not a very fun fact. That's kinda messed up. While still overfished, it can be acquired legally - while fetching a price of $30/lb. A delicious (and less expensive) alternative is black cod!
It's rare that a minor detail in a long-running series will take on a strange, unintended new life as a meme. Jean-Luc Picard face-palming in Star Trek TNG: Deja Q. Some kid eating tide pods. Oliver Platt's occasional role on The West Wing. Or, in the case of Spongebob Squarepants, a moment from like every other episode. Follow along this week as we recreate a potato salad recipe courtesy of "Tom", an ancillary character famous for screaming.
Seinfeld might be a show about nothing, but if it had to be about something, it just might be food. In fact, food might as well be the 5th member of our favorite gang of New York narcissists, swooping in to either save the day or ruin best laid plans. This week, we take a closer look at George's peculiar culinary proclivities.
John Krasinski's home-run thriller did much more than finally separate him in my mind from his character on The Office - it established him as a true leading man, a talented director, and owner of one of the handsomest beards in Hollywood. Whisper along this week as answer the question: can food be prepared both quietly AND deliciously?
Green eggs and ham aren't the culinary limits of Doctor Seuss - fantastical foods are peppered throughout his fantasy pastel worlds of whimsical, wondiferous words. Follow along this week, while we try not to rhyme, as we take a crack at roast beast, for the very first time. Damn it.
Bob's Burgers isn't always about burgers. Sometimes it's about a giant pancake type thing called a Dutch baby.
The 'grey stuff' from Beauty and the Beast has been falsely advertised as some sort of cookies-n-cream abomination, and it's about time we set the record straight. Yes I know that children at Disney World probably don't want to eat chicken liver mousse. Yes I know that it's taking whimsical license with a childhood classic to make it marketable and enjoyable for kids of a new generation. Shush, I'm cooking.
The Eric Andre Show, our eponymous host's LSD-soaked nightmare talkshow, has created some of the most maddeningly subversive comedy of the decade. None have captured the imagination of the internet, however, quite like the pizza ball. A gnarled sphere of everyone's favorite cheesy flatbread, the pizza ball (not unlike the show itself) is probably best enjoyed under the influence of something.
You know when you have an internet cooking show where you recreate foods from movies & tv, and you've got that one friend that requests you recreate the same dish every time he comes over to play Smash Bros? Well, Ari, here ya go.
Oh Edgar, you sly old fox. Drugging and kidnapping kittens for profit, you rapscallion. Spiking milk with barbital like some droog from A Clockwork Orange, you madcap rascal. YOU COULD'VE HURT MONSIEUR ROQUEFORT. I'm glad he tied your shoes together.
Today we embark upon our third journey into foods from Bob's Burgers...that aren't burgers. Because sometimes you need to stretch a bit so you can make a "big game" episode. But hey, we learn how to make quick puff pastry, one in 90 minutes, the other in less than an hour!
BwB turns 3 this weekend, so it seemed only fitting to take a crack at one of longest and most hotly-requested dishes in the show's history: spaghetti tacos. I was always hesitant to try, as double-carbing gives me the heebie-jeebies, but I think we've got a satisfying conclusion to man's lifelong journey of incorporating pasta in tacos.
This week, we're headed back to the Archer archives in search of a tasty dish to recreate, and I could find none better than steak au poivre - even if it was served sans 'poivre'. We won't make that mistake in the BwB kitchen, as we recreate this French classic with some modernized veggie sides.
Bao is a beautifully animated, thematically mature, subtle and nuanced portrait of the human condition - in other words, it's a Pixar production. To celebrate the Oscars this coming weekend, let's dive into the director's mom's own recipe, as we attempt to recreate a food so delicious, you'll want to raise it as your own until it tries to leave you and you eat it. Domee Shi's Mom's Recipe: https://www.foodandwine.com/cooking-techniques/bao-pixar-dumpling-recipe
Sometimes, you gotta give the people what they want. Play the hits. Let them eat...double-batter-fried-quad-burgers. This week I'm sacrificing both my health *and* dignity to bring you a very accurate recreation of one of Spongebob's greatest hits. Do not try this at home.
This week we return, once again, to the seemingly bottomless pit of pop culture food parody that is The Simpsons. Never one to shy away from making fun of McDonalds, America's favorite family now grapples with an otherworldly force known as the 'Ribwich'. I was going to make a "rib" patty, like they would in a fast food context, but I'm just getting out from under the flu and didn't want to. I'm sorry.
The cake, as they say, is a lie. But this one isn't: a classic black forest gateau, soaked in kirsch and laden with cherries, served entirely without fish-shaped solid waste. Stick around after the show for a sneak peek at "Being with Babish", premiering March 22nd!
This week we return, for the first time in 3 years, to the house that built Babish: Parks and Rec. As summer (eventually) approaches, what could be better than celebrating Swanson-style: by wrapping some meat around some other meat. There's only one problem: I can't seem to stop using colons in this video's description.
Fooled you...maybe. Probably not. Is this even a joke? I don't get it. Made you look down here though? Is that funny? This is my first time April fools-ing.
Okay, it's April 2nd, fun's over. This week, for reals this time, we're making onigiri: the breakfasty-lunchy-snack, ubiquitous in Japan, and virtually unheard of here in the US. As such, some committee of suits saw fit to Americanize their portrayal on Pokémon, and a generation of these United States grew up thinking they were donuts...and the bastards made ten hundred billion dollars. Was it worth it, 4Kids Entertainment? Oh, it was? No yeah you're right.
4 million subscribers!! I keep hitting numbers I never imagined I'd ever reach, so I'm going to keep recreating dishes I never imagined I'd ever recreate. This week it's the Death Sandwich from Regular Show, a pretty-plain-lookin' submarine that promises to kill you if you eat it without donning a mullet and jorts. In the Babishian spirit of approaching pop culture repast renditions as realistically as possible, I enlist the help of a tv-chef-superstar to build a sandwich worth...dying for? Probably not, no. But holy shit you guys, I got to hang out with Masaharu Morimoto!!
This week, for the first time ever, we're double-dipping into the same source material two episodes in a row. Why? Last week was National Grilled Cheese Day, and well damn it, it got me in the mood. So while we don't have any accurate stats or specs on the 'grilled cheese deluxe' from Cheezer's, this is my very best effort to make a grilled cheese worth standing in line for. Unless you're an astronaut, of course.
This week, we finally revisit the all-American fantasy of Forrest Gump, crossing a few more dishes off Bubba's comprehensive shrimp-preparation list. Due to the growing complexity of the dishes, I've had to cut it down to three this time around, but hey - that means there's gonna be a Part III! Eventually.
Just in time to soothe your Avengers: Endgame withdrawal, we're taking a crack at the fictional Ben & Jerry's Avenger flavors. We like doing things in threes here at Babish Enterprises, so thanks to an ingenious Redditor comment, we're throwing a third flavor into the mix: Raspberry Thorbet!
This week, we return to an absolutely endless resource of fictional-food-madness: The Simpsons. Homer is tempted by yet another fast food innovation, the Good Morning Burger, a breakfast abomination whose sheer caloric heft can only safely be consumed by my trainer friend (https://www.instagram.com/thechrisparnell/)
It would seem as though most modern comedies have a Teddy: a hapless, lovable loser whose behavior straddles the line between funny and halting. Perhaps Teddy Brûlée captures the character better than any other food could: sweet, unhealthy, and holding a blowtorch.
Food from The Good Place (and, well, everything else from The Good Place) reads like a fever dream: giant shrimp terrorizing the neighborhood, fountains of clam chowder, frozen yogurt in every conceivable flavor. Today, we're seeing if we can make some of these bizarre concoctions palatable - and throwing in some jalapeño poppers for good measure.
This week we're heading back in time to the 2001 treat you never knew you wanted (because they don't sound very good): the orangey, chocolatey, coffee-y frappuccinos so eagerly inhaled by Derek Zoolander and friends, just moments before their tragic deaths in a freak gasoline fight accident.
Howl's Moving Castle is one of the many exquisitely animated (and profoundly confusing) expressions of destiny, growth, and love brought to us by Hayao Miyazaki. An even more ubiquitous theme in his films, however, is food. Few can so magically inspire hunger as the sizzling breakfast served up courtesy of Calcifer's demonic flames - can some at-home know-how help us bring the magic into our own kitchens?
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns as one of the leaders of food-as-plot-device-comedies, with its narcissist protagonists often tangling delicious (or disgusting) cuisine up in their antics. Grilled Frank, in particular, is ripe for innovation.
This week, we're back with a Breaking-Badian breakfast - but shockingly, not one involving Walter Jr. Jesse cooks up some halfway-decent grub in the form of Huevos Rancheros, a dish with a few basic components that can be endlessly tweaked and customized. Just don't add chili powder.
This week, Lars Barriga makes a reflection of himself in the form of a neon-purple sweet potato roulade. Beach City's resident grouch is no slouch in the kitchen, so no wonder it takes me 8+ tries to get the friggin thing right. Baking is hard, guys.
Stranger Things returns this 4th of July, providing a double-whammy reason to fry up a batch of fried chicken, whip up a mess of biscuits, and mash up a friggin ton of potatoes. Celebrate our nation's independence day (and Netflix's most celebrated series) the way it was intended: with some deeply unhealthy food.
To Aunt May's delight and amusement, her mild-mannered nephew Peter orders Larb at their local Thai place. Despite her pun-centric lampooning, she'll soon discover that larb is the meat salad that'll make you less grossed out by the concept of something called 'meat salad'.
So, as it turns out, the following are currently out of season: mutated ghost peppers, hot magma extract, and black widow venom. As such, I was unable to render a truly accurate facsimile of what's come to be known as the "Inferno Challenge" amongst those who 'take their wings super-seriously'. Which I do not.
This week we're headed back to Beach City for some sammich inspiration, where Steven Quartz Universe repeatedly whips up (and is thwarted from eating) one of his favorite foods: bagel sandwiches. Can we upgrade this breakfast favorite with just a little boilin' and bakin'?
This week we return to the wide world of anime for a hotly-requested jet-black delicacy: squid ink pasta. While it smells like the great pacific garbage patch, cuttlefish ink is a visually dramatic but orally subtle way to introduce some seafood flavors into your favorite pastas. Just be sure to explain its concept to JoJo before you serve it to him.
Kingdom Hearts is the unlikely Disney crossover RPG that has a serious predilection for neon-teal ice cream bars - or so I'm told. I've never played it ????but I am your humble servant in the recreation of the foods from fiction, so as always, I'll do my darnedest! Let's start with a gelato al fior di latte (sort of), and see if we can master the art of no-churn popsicles!
This week, the challenge lies in both the volume of food and the method by which it's prepared - 30 sliders whipped up at once, onion-steamed the way White Castle does it. Can I wolf down the entire hyper-stoned order placed by our titular heroes? Of course not, I'm no Matt Stonie, but I've got some hungry friends.
Check out Dan Souza's far-more-scientific take on giant pancakes over at What's Eating Dan! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHOqSNnDib0 Happy (early) birthday Macaulay!! 5 Million Subscriber Special coming soon! Preorder the official Binging with Babish Cookbook today! https://www.bingingwithbabish.com/cookbook
As has become tradition in the Babish household, we're ringing in 5 million subscribers with some confections from Regular Show: the tantalizingly double-glazed apple fritters that transport our heroes to another plane of existence. Will they force our reality to similarly burst at its sugary seams?
Sumbitches are the wildly-offensively-named cookie that, in a very real way, are how I met your mother. Beyond that, they are the carnal cookie combo of chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel - which offers some technical challenges that can be surmounted with a little know-how, elbow grease, and a copy of Milk Bar by Christina Tosi.
Thank you all for helping me hit 5 million subscribers - here's our unusual (but fun) way of saying thank you!
Rarely does food play such a central character in a TV show or movie that's not specifically about food, but in The Sopranos, it might as well be one of the family. The crown jewel of which, despite Artie Bucco's hapless attempts, is the cuisine of Carmela Soprano. Strap on your gold President and build a ramp for the ducks, because it's time to emotionally repress our murderous mentality with some cheesy, saucy pasta - with a layer of basil underneath the cheese, of course.
This week, we're headed into hotly-requested-but-I'm-not-familiar-with-the-source-material territory with The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. Our titular hero has a particular affinity for caffeine in jiggle-form, and with the help of a bevy of coffee gadgetry, we'll bring this wiggling summertime treat to life.
The secret ingredient is...nothing! Despite that revelation, this so-called secret-soup is one of the most hotly requested dishes in the Babish Culinary Universe. Can we develop deep flavors, hand-pull noodles, and serve up a dish that lives up to Mr. Ping's noodly legacy? Yes, no, and yes.
Hey folks! This week we're heralding the arrival of National Pizza Month (aka every month ever?) with a true Binging with Babish conceptual reach - using Jon Stewart's famous rant against Chi-Town's deep-dish speciality as an excuse to make some ourselves. As it turns out, the stuff is pretty ridiculously easy to make, and a way to satisfy a pizza-craving-crowd...ridiculously. With cups of sauce and pounds of cheese held at bay by a towering levee of buttery, flaky crust, how could you not like Chicago-style deep-dish pizza? Unless there's some New York-style pizza available, of course.
This week, Babish takes a turn for the sweet and opulent as we explore the possibilities of a $5 milkshake. Or rather, the lack thereof: there aren't many ways to inflate the price of a plain vanilla shake, outside of simply being served in an overpriced theme restaurant in LA. So let's see just how expensive we can make this sucker!
Crêpes are discussed at length, in a pretty threatening manner, in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Before his arm is snapped by the very French Jean Girard, he's coerced into admitting he likes crêpes...which he actually does. Which makes sense, because they're the perfect vessel for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.
This week, we're exploring a hotly-requested video game easter egg: Mirage's beloved glazed pork chops from Apex Legends. Sneakily included in one of the game's loading screens, this recipe goes from awful to wonderful to downright delectable...but difficult to look at. Don't understand what I mean? Watch the video ya big silly!
Spoiler alerts generally aren't an issue with single-camera sitcoms, but in the case of The Good Place, my video description will be understandably sparse. If you haven't already, just go watch it - if you have, join me this week as we come up with an excuse to celebrate national nacho day (which is in Februrary for some reason)!
This video is sponsored by Philips Espresso. Go to http://bit.ly/BWBespresso for more information on the Philips Espresso Machine with LatteGo. Superbad, from a foodie perspective, might be better remembered as the origin story of 'sexy hamburger' McLovin; but its not a film without culinary cachet. Apart from being Seth's senioritis-rallying-cry, tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert, and the perfect introductory course to both pastry and pastry cream.
George Costanza, to say the least, has a predilection for food. It instigates, interrupts, and defines his work, home, and sex life. It occupies his thoughts and daydreams, walks in tandem with his fantasies, and plays a vital role in both the pursuit of and vengeance exacted upon others. And, through its George Steinbrenner-ian provenance, provides a great excuse to make some calzones!
In "Blitzgiving", Ted Mosby demonstrates the pitfall of many new cooks: attempting to innovate way too early in his kitchen career. A rudimentary understanding of how meat cooks in an oven would dissuade our omniscient narrator, but without it, The Gentleman would never have been born, and the curse of The Blitz would never have been passed. Happy Thanksgiving guys!
This week, we're taking a look at a winter classic, courtesy of one of the most painful scenes in television history: the dinner party from The Office. Jan's (very) slowly-braised veal shanks are clearly seen served with Risotto alla Milanese, a classic saffron-scented version of the decadent Italian staple. Put it all together, and you've got the perfect dish to weather the winter - or at least the world's most awkward dinner party.
"You want some soup?" Pedro Pascal can growl almost anything from underneath his beskar helmet and still make it sound pretty badass. One thing's for sure - you can bring bone broth in warm, or you can bring it in cold. Well, I suppose you could bring it in cold, but I wouldn't recommend it.
The Irishman, like many of Scorsese's sweeping epics, uses food to help build its rich cast of characters. Prison sauce for Henry Hill, steak for Jake La Motta, apple pie with yellow cheese for Travis Bickle - and most recently, chili dogs for Jimmy Hoffa. Follow along this week as we build an all-American artery clogger entirely from scratch, with a little help from You Suck at Cooking.
Love, Actually: the film that emotionally weaponizes Christmas, relationships, love, loss, and Hugh Grant's goofball charm. Also the film that taught early 00's Americans about a great many British mainstays, including (but not limited to) banoffee pie: a sweet, sticky, toffee-and-banana-laden confection easily thrown together with some pantry staples. So how about we make one entirely from scratch - and as a special treat, let's do it wrong!
Avatar: The Last Airbender is rife with delicious-sounding foods that y'all have requested - puffin-seal sausages, fire flakes, sizzle crisps, smoked sea slug - but none sound quite so accomplishable as Aang's favorite food, egg custard tarts. Today we're taking a crack at both the show-accurate version, as well as its origin, the Portuguese pasteis de nata!
This week, we're returning to Springfield for a fan favorite tasty-fake: Marge Simpson's Oven Fresh Bake Off-winning dessert dogs. Deep fried cookie dough in a meringue bun, drizzled with cherry syrup and caramel? I can't think of a better way to torpedo those New Year's resolutions!
This week on Binging with Babish, I set out to make braciole from Everybody Loves Raymond.
In Quentin Tarantino's latest drug-laced, blood-soaked, profanity-peppered revisionist history masterpiece, food once again takes center stage alongside our singular protagonists. In a departure from his penchant for fictional brand names, a familiar box emblazoned in blue is shown as the preferred dinner of stuntman Cliff Booth. Can we improve on this childhood classic? Is there even a need to? Well, I decided to anyway. Sort of.
Do yourself a favor: don't start "You" if you don't have a full day in which to binge the entire series. This trashy-fun Netflix series is, at its core, about dating...albeit in a frightening and murderous way. And dating, at its core, is about food - so it was inevitable that there end up being some delectable food porn in this stalker-rom-com. Today, we explore not only the passionately-prepared roast chicken, but the idea of the perfect bite itself!
Rarely does a dish serve as such a central metaphor for a film's primary conflict: in Parasite, boujee beef sits oppressively atop bargain noodles in the Park family's version of Ram-Don, the way they sit so literally atop others. It was tricky doing this one without spoilers, but I think I managed!
Margot Robbie continues her streak as Americaustralia's national treasure in her second turn as the delightfully unhinged Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey, a movie I have admittedly not yet seen. From what I hear though, she sheds bitter tears as her lover falls to the pavement in a fateful chase through the Gotham City streets. No, I'm not talking about the the tatted-up, purring, emo-glam Joker - I'm talking about the perfect egg sandwich.
About a month ago, I basically brought this episode on myself: declaring, in a popular Reddit thread, that I was working on the meme'd-out chocolate pudding from the incomparable Rugrats. Turns out there's only so much you can do with chocolate pudding - so I tried my best to do a little bit of each! Recipes inspired by America's Test Kitchen: https://www.americastestkitchen.com/
In wishing to celebrate the big 6M, Ron's favorite order at Charles Mulligan's Steakhouse seemed fitting: prime, dry-aged beef with a side of prime, dry-aged beef. Forgive me, for I have sinned. Thank you all SO MUCH for helping me reach 6 million subscribers!!
A tearful reunion of two of my favorite characters AND a dish described vividly and depicted in detail? It’s not my birthday, but it sure feels like it. Follow along this week as we recreate the hilariously Trek-appropriate “bunnicorn” pizza!
This week, I'm sick n' self-quarantined. Can the golden era of Nickelodeon kids sitcoms help cure what ails me? Recipe: https://web.archive.org/web/20200326004931/https://www.bingingwithbabish.com/recipes/cold-cure
The Neverland feast from Hook holds a special place in all our hearts, memories, and "You're a 90s Kid If..." lists on Buzzfeed. I've been resisting making the neon-colored pies, despite their being hotly requested, for some time - namely because I think they're just pie shells filled with whipped cream. But this week, more than most weeks, we're using our imaginations! Recipe: https://web.archive.org/web/20200401185809/https://www.bingingwithbabish.com/recipes/imaginary-pie-hook
Passover approaches, and thanks to the magnificent meal made by Midge Maisel, we've got a great excuse to whip up some Jewish BBQ on the show. Slowly braised to tender perfection in a delicate balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors, this brisket outshines even charoset at the Seder table. And that shit is delicious.
Ben Wyatt: mayor of Ice Town, occasional Batman impersonator, and unwavering disciple of the calzone. Today we celebrate Ben's fandom with a trio of his most notorious pizza pocket projects: calzone-shaped apple pie, (poisonous) mini calzones, and the low-cal-calzone-zone. Pizza is better as a sandwich, isn't it? Recipe: https://web.archive.org/web/20200418225938/https://www.bingingwithbabish.com/recipes/ben-wyatt-calzones
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is a great many things: it's an adventure, it's bizarre, and it's essentially one long, uninterrupted Jojo reference. It's also, fleetingly, an enthusiastic examination of Italian food. Follow along this week as we unravel the mysteries of one of my greatest cooking fears: fresh, homemade mozzarella!
This week, H Jon Benjamin, the voice of Sterling Archer himself, joins us to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. We're appropriately recreating one of Archer's many cocktails of choice: the classic margarita. A seemingly simple drink until you try to make one without doing your research in front of an audience of millions, the margarita can be taken to soaring highs or devastating lows with five simple ingredients and a cocktail shaker. Come hang out and let's celebrate together/apart!
Rick and Morty is back and it's Ricker and Mortier than ever - to celebrate, we're making some normal foods but all tiny and small so they don't get stuck in your lips. Take a sneak peek at my new house, chop up some kalaxian crystals, and settle in for an unusually long Binging with Babish!
Well, I've been terrified to tackle Troy's titular traybake for years, and in about 12 minutes you'll see why. But, Community returned yesterday with a table read from the full original cast, and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate. Srap in folks, this one's gonna get weird.
This week, we're double-dipping in the world of Dan Harmon's lovable, irreverent collegiate caricature: Community. I'm here to defend the "weird" favorite food of Abed Nadir: buttered noodles. Yes, that impossibly plain side dish/cafeteria filler/thing you eat when you're sick. With a few simple tricks, we can upgrade this ubiquitous underdog into something worth making all on its own.
This week, for once, I worked on something ahead of time! Because I had to! Because it's pastrami, and pastrami takes about 45 years to make!
Well folks, after years of requests, they're finally here: the most tempting polygonal pastries ever put to PC, Sweetrolls from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I've been terrified to take on this digital dessert for years, but after developing a recipe using a buttery-sweet brioche, I think it's finally ready for the main stage. [Insert joke about stealing sweetrolls here].
UHF, Weird Al's fledgling foray into film, is nothing short of a direct transcript of his delightfully odd imagination put to celluloid. In a dish that embodies the spirit of the movie itself, a hot dog is tucked delicately into a Twinkie and judiciously sprayed with cheese - and you know what? It's not that bad. Also, fun fact, Running with Scissors was the first CD I ever bought with my own money.
Years in the making (because I kept putting it off out of fear), the Lord of the Rings Special is finally upon us. And it's in two parts instead of three - you know, a trilogy. Babish you're a dumbass sometimes. Anyway we're diving into the make-ahead recipes for this seven-course feast, covering all the major hobbit food groups, and getting into the heavy stuff next week! Thank you so much for helping me reach 7 million subscribers!
This week, the epic conclusion of the Lord of the Rings...duology. Yes I know I should've made 3 episodes. The meal(s) finally come together in one out-of-control spread that covers a Hobbit's diet from dawn till dusk. You've all given me so many things to celebrate, and I'm just happy that, even from a safe distance, we can still celebrate together. Thank you for helping me reach this and so many other bewildering milestones. I'll work the rest of my life to try and earn what you've given me.
Captain Holt's signature stone-faced empathy is on display in this heartwarming act of culinary affection, a memory in the form of a sandwich. But not just any sandwich: the cheesy, hammy, gooey French brasserie classic, Croque Monsieur. Let's hear how incorrectly I can pronounce things this week as we recreate this toasty brunchtime delight.
SpongeBob's personality is on full display as he loudly, incoherently, and lovably throws together some household sundries in an attempt to make a Sunday sundae. So too shall we - until, of course, we toss it and try to make a better version. Which doesn't entirely work out. The conch has spoken.
In a fan-favorite episode, Dexter Morgan takes a break from his close-up, slow-motion morning routine to kill a friend in need. But he can't saran-wrap her to a table and scalpel her cheek like any other Monday, he's gotta be nice about it, so he finds the best key lime pie in Miami and pumps it full of night-night juice. I've heard of humble pie but this is ridiculous! Sorry.
Sokka's appetite betrays him during his visit to the fire nation when a tempting-looking snack, dubbed 'flaming fire flakes', turn out to be spicy. Whaddaya know. This week, we're manifesting the firebenders' chips of choice using an innovative recipe from ChefSteps, a little creativity, and some tingly-spicy Sichuan peppercorns!
What’s in it? Who cares! How many calories? Shut up!
This week, we say a bittersweet goodbye to the old BwB studio with a Swanson's swan song, and probably the longest episode name to date: The Four Horsemeals of the Eggporkalypse from Parks & Rec. A fitting goodbye, a breakfast that could comfortably feed a family of four (along with some aunts and uncles), prepared on the very same flat-top that seared the sixteen-some-odd patties flipped in the kitchen's inaugural episode.
This week, we christen in the new BwB kitchen with the third part in an epic Parks and Rec trilogy: the Meat Tornado. After consulting with a doctor of nutrition to ensure that our creation could be potentially lethal, we set out to make a 2-pound burrito stuffed with carne asada, carnitas, tinga de pollo, and the inappropriately spicy Last Dab XXX.
This week we're celebrating the 200th episode of Binging with Babish with...a pretty normal episode, since I didn't realize it was the 200th until someone pointed it out to me on Reddit! So we'll just pretend that I wanted to be lowkey about it. I had been looking forward to this one for a while, mostly because well, I love enchiladas. The Rose "family recipe" involving the folding of cheese could only mean one thing: a queso drizzled over top the spicy little parcels before getting all browned and bubbly in the oven. Sign me up.
This week, we're faced with a very particular challenge, the likes of which I never thought I'd have to face: batter-fried chicken. It sounds innocuous enough, but a cursory glimpse at any given recipe eschews batter in favor of a sturdier, more reliable flour-and-egg dredge. Thanks to our new kitchen producer (Kendall Beach), we concocted a formula for batter that wouldn't bulk up, wouldn't brown too quickly, and wouldn't crack in the unforgiving oil. The results are annoyingly difficult but undeniably fantastic fried chicken, made in (what I imagine is) the Pollos Hermanos style!

This week, I’m recreating the Triple Gooberberry Sunrise from Spongebob Squarepants! Recipe: https://www.bingingwithbabish.com/recipes/triple-gooberberry-sunrise-spongebob-squarespace
Yes I know this one is a stretch. But Jess really loves raspberry danish you guys, and I wanted to make some for her. So, this week, we're using its brief product-placement-mention in Ant Man & The Wasp as an excuse to whip up batch after batch of this delectable dessert of Denmark.
This week, by virtue of some long fermentation times and triple-cooking methods, we're taking a look at the cheffy versions of frozen snacks served up at Steven Universe's Michelin-starred Beach City eatery. Can we make ketchup-stuffed french fries and cream cheese-stuffed pizza bagels worthy of a Michelin Star? Let's find out as we prematurely celebrate hitting 8 million subscribers!
This week we're celebrating 8 million subscribers with a tour of the office, a surprise kitten, and what's becoming a tradition for subscriber milestones: another death-defying food challenge from Regular Show. The Mississippi Queen is prepared, in detail, so we can recreate it with some accuracy - but steps must be taken to transform it into a hallucinogenic kids' show mindf*ck! Thank you so much for helping me reach the big 8!!
This week, to celebrate Halloween, I bend my no-fantasy-food-rule in favor of that most unholy of sandwiches, the Broodwich. It wasn't forged in darkness, it wasn't baked by Beelzebub - but it does have a sinful amount of meat, hand-beaten mayo, lots of sun dried tomatoes, and lettuce. BED OF EVIL AND LETTUCE!
This week we're headed back to Twin Peaks WA, but for once, not with murder on the mind. Instead, we're focusing on the food: brie and baguette sandwiches, fresh from Paris, furnished by an unhealthy relationship with a younger sibling. Brie and butter on a baguette isn't just a delicious-sounding alliteration - it's a classic French sandwich that actually lives up to the hype. Sometimes a few simple ingredients can come together to create something greater than the sum of their parts, and there are few finer examples than this comforting, indulgent mixture of fat and carbs.
This week, we conclude our (unintentional) sandwich trilogy with Liz Lemon’s innovative take on a classic Reuben, particularly her inspired inclusion of potato chips as a condiment. Grab your night cheese and get ready for a visit from MeatCat - can’t think of any other 30 Rock references? That’s a dealbreaker.
Today, I'm given an excuse to (probably horrendously incorrectly) attempt some French - both the language and cuisine. An iconically challenging but ironically simple dish becomes the sole phrase in Dexter McPherson's normally-stacked vocabulary, the admittedly-seductive-sounding "omelette du fromage". Let's crack some eggs!
This week, the creator of The Mandalorian, the founding father of the MCU, the man/myth/legend himself, Jon Favreau joins us to discuss some recently-spotted blue macarons being snacked upon by The Child. What do they taste like? Are they an homage to blue milk? Can I get cast in the next Marvel movie, perhaps as a superhero with cooking powers? Only one way to find out.
Twister did more than make me briefly go through a phase of wanting to be a storm chaser - it showed me that with a durable enough pickup truck, you could easily drive directly through a four-bedroom house. It also made my stomach growl when Aunt Meg busted out the country cooking in her bohemian Oklahoman homestead: ribeyes with fried sunny-side-up eggs, mountains of fluffy mashed potatoes, and a rightfully famous gravy. And homemade lemonade, shit, I forgot the lemonade.
Little is known about Monica Geller's addicting, social-norm-disrupting candy: it involves chocolate, it tastes like little drops of heaven, it's indescribable. Based off what I've observed in my frame-by-frame analysis, it appears to be chocolate-covered caramels, something I'm more than apt to make. But it involves tempering chocolate - will I survive? Yeah, probably - tempering chocolate sucks, but so long as you have a double boiler/an accurate thermometer/patience, anyone can do it!
In a Klingon-like transfer of power ritual, the conveniently-initialed Scott Calvin kills Santa Clause in front of his son, puts on the dead man's clothes, and takes over his role as the bringer of joy to children around the world. Peyote-trip-storyline aside, there's some pretty choice hot cocoa served to the killer by one of his ancient child servants: a recipe perfected for 1200 years. Can we do the same in our home kitchen? Not without creating some potentially explosive, extra chocolatey hazards!
From Colon Blow to Taco Town to Shweddy Balls, SNL is known for its sometimes-temping, often-disgusting food parodies. Most pale in comparison, however, to the Overnight Salad: dripping with mid-century mayonnaise overdose, this send-up of 1950s American "cuisine" has been haunting me since its premiere last spring, and now finally it's here. Along with a practical version, because as it turns out, overnight salads are an actual thing for some reason. Don't forget the quarter (like I did)!
This week, we're headed into yet another one of Pixar's heart-rending, eye-popping dreamscapes: modern day San Fransisco, where we're taking a look at the broccoli pizza through the eyes of an 11-year-old. GROSS! Can we not only make something so sacrilege as cruciferous cabbage on pizza appetizing, but glean some new knowledge about the age-old Neapolitan treat? Let's find out!
This week, we are testing the patience of the Italians once again with an attempt at some real-deal risotto, from the realest of dealest of movies about Italian food: Big Night. I try a few different shortcuts, but spoiler alert: nothing quite compares to the real thing. So toss some pomade in your hair and hop in the Studebaker, because we're headed back to a mythical time when the Jersey Shore didn't appreciate Italian food.
Mkay yeah this one is a stretch. But I watched Billy Madison over the weekend, and just like when I was a middle schooler, it gave me a strange hankering for sloppy joes, so here we are. Out of the can, completely from scratch, and unnecessarily complicated joes are on display today - and I made sure to make em extra sloppy for yas! I knows how yous kids likes em sloppy.
Good news everyone! Today we’re taking a look at that most objectionable food from fiction, Bachelor Chow. Can I make my own dog food for humans - with blackjack, and hookers!
Happy Groundhog Day all! It's the magical time of year when a homeowner's backyard nightmare reluctantly, but alertly predicts the weather. As the snow piles up here in New York City, I can think of no more fitting tribute to this particularly bizarre ceremony than recreating the centerpiece of Phil Connors' immortal diner feast: angel food cake, eaten in one hedonistic bite. After a year that's felt an awful lot like Groundhog Day personified, let's ring in a new...groundhog year together with this classic teatime cake!
This week, to celebrate 5 years of BWB, we’re taking the show back to its roots - its mumbly, un-ironed, concerningly higher-pitched roots. Thank you all for sticking with me!!
The Chef’s Choice Platter has haunted me for years. A glorious, cross-cultural mishmash of cuisines piled high and deep, devoured by a warrior and downed with a flagon of ale. Then it dawned on me: it was a “chef’s choice” platter, and I’m the chef! So I’m making what I want and devouring it like a warrior - slowly, in sensible portions, as leftovers throughout the week.
This week on Anime with Alvin, a true challenge awaits: a mashed-potato-loaf that can pass for a delicious pork roast? That can blow your clothes off? If anyone can do it, it's Alvin - the guy that hosts this show and always has.
This week we are celebrating 9 million subscribers by making kettle corn with Community's Joel McHale. Oh, and getting impromptu married. Thank you all for subscribing to the BCU channel - none of this is possible without all of your support!
This week we took our shot at Meat-ghetti and Spag-balls from American Dad and honestly, here’s the thing, it would be boring if we nailed it every time… right? Well, that’s what we’re going with.
This week, we're headed back to the not-so-regular-world of Regular Show. The Pork Picnic Sandwich presents not only the opportunity to live like a VIP, but to enjoy the sweltering summer heat while smoking some big ol' joints of pork for 16 hours! Let's put the grilled cheese deluxe to shame.
This week, we're taking a crack at a Ligurian classic, beautifully portrayed in Pixar's Luca: toothsome pasta tossed in a bright, fresh basil pesto, dotted with creamy potatoes and crisp green beans. How could I possibly screw this one up?
Whether you’re a clever kid on the precipice of becoming a trollhunter or just your average joe or jill looking for a tasty sandwich: this meatloaf sandwich is a must-try. Who knew cardamom, balsamic mushrooms, and sundried tomatoes would work so well in a meatloaf?
This week we’re tackling the weird and wonderful food from The Sims. First on our list, Mac and Cheese. While seemingly simple, we couldn’t resist putting our own spin on it. Next up, a *new* classic, the ultra comforting Aubergine Parmesan (alternate identity: Eggplant Parm). And finally, the ever-challenging Baked Alaska. The perfect summer dessert, best accompanied by your household fire extinguisher.
This week we're channeling the Always Sunny "milk steak" as we fancy up an outlandish gastronomic gag from the brilliant and jarring I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson. Our hero, who used to be a piece of sh*t, gleefully recalls post-club evenings spent at Truffani's with a big rare cut of beef and a glass of water. Let this be a warning to all film & television creators: if you put food in your thing, I will make it.
This week, we're headed back to Springfield to take a look at a deadly dessert: La Bombe, a premeditated éclair with 25 pounds of butter per square inch, chocolate so dark light cannot escape its surface, and a staggering 1 million calories. We can't break the rules of...well, physics, but can we make an equally "killer" pastry? Pastry "d'oh"? Is that something?
This week, we're headed back to Quahog (named after a type of clam!) for a decidedly domestic dinner prepared by Family Guy's familial punching bag, Meg Griffin. In a rare turn of events, everyone's left speechless as Meg effortlessly prepares a delicious, nutritious dinner for her incredulous parents. Let's see how it tastes as we make up the entire recipe!
This week, Sterling Archer strikes again with another overpriced, overindulgent masochistic mash-up: the world's most expensive Mc10:35. A sandwich normally concocted from an egg McMuffin and a McDouble, Archer decides to cobble one together from some otherwise-relatively-thoughtful canapés. Will it live up to the superspy's reputation? Probably.
Black and White Cookies are one of the few signature confections of New York City. While available at most bodegas, delis, or bakeries in New York, now you can try them yourself from the comfort of your own kitchen. Try the chocolate or vanilla side first, or just dive in straight down the middle like we do!
No puppies were harmed in the making of these surprisingly delicious Puppy Paw Hash Browns.
This week, friend of the show and all-around legend Michael Gandolfini joins us to help whip up the depressed-Artie-Bucco-special: 'Conglio alla Famiglia', a handwritten recipe, fully visible on screen in maybe my favorite show of all time, The Sopranos! In Italian. In cursive. Whatever!
Springfield beckons us, once again, into the jaws of culinary madness with this unfortunate take on middle-American cuisine: cheeto, root beer, and hot dog noodles. Normally Bart's favorite, after an encounter with a wealthy doppelgänger, it becomes the subject of revulsion by the normally-sugar-addled youth. Can we make this dish not only edible, but desirable to the likes of Simon Woosterfield?
This week, we're finally caving to Jess' long-running campaign for the recreation of Oeufs a la Jenny avec Cocoa Krispies from Oliver & Company. Wealthy pets have always been something of a fascination for children's movie plot lines, and this one bucks the trend with a kitten growing up on the mean streets of NYC, not unlike our very own adoptee Bucky. Can I make a version that satisfies the childhood dreams of the film's biggest fan?
Quick and easy episode this week folks! Arepas con queso may be the comfort food of choice for family matriarchs who can heal wounds using ancient magic, but they can also be whipped up by anyone with some masarepa (a kind of pre-cooked corn flour) and some cheese. Let's see if the shortest-ever episode of Binging is still worth watching!
Make these Pizza Balls yourself and you won’t have to worry about paying Pizza Poppa.
A special thanks to Briam Baumgartner for joining me this week on Binging!
On this episode of Binging with Babish, Max Miller from Tasting History joins us to recreate the interestingly-named Nipples of Venus from Amadeus.
I'm working on finishing next week's Binging episode, and after receiving so many comments about how you enjoyed the Thanksgiving Marathon and the trip down memory lane, I thought I would compile some of my favorite holiday-themed Binging and Basics over the years.
Can I make something as addictive as the popplers from Futurama? Can I make them look the part? Can I make them come alive after a period of gestation? Stay tuned to find out!
We tested every frozen pizza on the market so you don't have to.
We tried 50 different kinds of apples. What more can we say?
Grab your best straw hat, and get ready to enjoy some delicious bluefin tuna, inspired by One Piece.
I know people feel very strongly about their cereal. So what's YOUR favorite?
Wackadoo! It's about time I tried to create this long-requested (very cute) cake.
Today, we're in search of the best boxed brownie mix for your buck.
Eugene Belcher is the manifestation of our petulant inner 9-year-old, loudly asserting dominance over dinner and brazenly mashing together every indulgence. Today his B-minus dreams come to life, stacking many carbs upon other carbs to create Baked Potato Lasagna.
Today, we're in search of the best boxed brownie mix for your buck.
This week, we're celebrating the biggest movies of the year by recreating some of their more memorable food scenes. Whether they're plastic, poison, or actively on fire, they're a deliciously deadly way to celebrate the biggest night in Hollywood.
This week, we're making New York style everything bagels with lox and cream cheese, inspired by Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
With the endless frozen options available at your local Trader Joe's, it's easy to get overwhelmed. That's why we're here to help determine: Which of these frozen pastas is the best?
Binging with Babish's Andrew Rea answers the internet's most searched questions about himself. How did Binging with Babish start? Did Binging with Babish go to culinary school? Is Andrew Rea a chef? Where did Andrew come from? How old is he? Does he age? Andrew answers all these
