Chris grunting at his kids, Sohla feeding her dogs and Claire spraying her cats is real character development I signed up for
I feel the chris as a parent. Lol
And andy looking sad and depressed
I agree wholeheartedly
carla cracking her jaw and priya feeding her dad
Are you sure this is what you want and not the Cambell’s episode? LOL
Finding out that Chris' parents were healthy food fanatics makes SO much sense
RIGHT?!
Nothing in this world makes more sense
I said this same thing to myself when I heard it.
My parents were the same way and I always gorged on anything with artificial flavoring at a friend's house. Kraft Singles were my #1 favorite find followed by Pepsi but I wasn't choosy!
Pearl Smith aha seems about right! It makes me think if Willy Wonka when he talks about his dad being a dentist and him being obsessed with sweets
I used to think chris was kinda a dainty kinda guy, but no, that dude is raising 2 bloodthirsty warmongers the same age. Jesus.
Chupa Macabre maybe it’s _them_ raising Chris
I kinda thought he was much older than he actually is, maybe too old to have kids that age. But guys can 'make' kids quite a bit older than women can 'make' kids, I guess....
@@kcanded Huh? He's what, 40? No idea what you're talking about
@@deathbeforedigital wtf 40? i thought he was like 34 idk
@@para-yw9dn he's 40, Brad is 34.
Other Professional Chefs: Makes a gourmet version of Mac & Cheese.
Carla: Throws out the entire box and makes popcorn.
I'm making this popcorn tonight!!!! Carla is the BEST!!!!!
A power to rival Pepcorn
@@etheraelespeon1986 A BDG reference? in MY ba comments? I never thought the day would come.
The James Beard committee noticed and chose well
Carla : Makes Pop corn and cracking Neck with pasta
Chris, a dad: Imma give you unhealthy food
Chris' kids: Noooooo
Chris: *sigh*
They want dem banana 😤
lol good point
I made a Choo Choo train

Sohla: Can temper chocolate to absolute perfection; can't microwave butter.
She can melt butter too well is more accurate
we stan
to be fair.. can anyone?
IT'S HER ONLY KNOWN WEAKNESS!!! The cruelest form of kryptonite... our hero must survive
They sell these inexpensive vented plastic domes on Amazon to put over bowls or plates when you microwave so stuff doesn't explode everywhere. Got my mom one for Christmas with some other stuff and THAT is the gift she loves and uses the most!
Chris kid saying he made a cho cho train with a thermometer and some fried mac and cheese is true small child energy
"Alright guys, you gotta improve boxed Mac and cheese"
Every single chef ever: I'm sorry, did you say Add Panko?
I used to think chris was kinda a dainty kinda guy, but no, that dude is raising 2 bloodthirsty warmongers the same age. Jesus.
I'm convinced Chris and Brad are the same person, just in alternate universes. The clocks. The Calabrian chilli. The chaotic children.
They are Bizarro Universe versions of each other.
@@recoil53 maybe the BA test kitchen is just an interdimensional portal. 😯
If you split a typical person in two, you’d pretty much get them. One all emotion, energy, chaos, confidence, etc. The other logic, restraint, order, questioning etc. Pretty fascinating.
Wutsizface z
Im just here to say all children are chaotic. Everything is chaotic, callabrian chilli is to burn away the hangover that was created by th post bed time cocktails to cope with the chaos. Please for the love of God send help/tequila/spicy condiments.
One thing I LOVE about Sohla, she really does embrace each challenge every time and takes it to another level.. she's so creative
If there is any rule into cooking something, she will ignore them all hahaha
She deserves her own show
@@nublessed8993 yes!!! 100% agree
@@isabellehonorato7442 except tempering chocolate, she is text book there
She is the might savior of all chocolate tempering
Someday Claire will give up and start to just call her besides of suffering for hours
Mostly I’ve learned that panko is an essential pantry item
If you’re making mac and cheese without panko what are you even doing
I couldn't watch Andys part without laughing while thinking about all the comments saying that he always looks like hes cooking in secret
Next episode, Claire breaks into Sohla's kitchen to clean the microwave
And Chris synchronizes all of the clocks
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Jody Angel Ugartechea
Correction, Brad and his kids break into chris's house to sync his clocks
Gotta get that fiber
Why is Andy talking like he's cooking at 11PM and doesn't want to wake his parents up
I think he might have broken into someone's house to film the episode.
@@MrZelnoth As the subtitles said: "The mystery continues".
There's a scene in Tampopo about this... Also pay attention to the background at 18:33
And why is brad talking like we’re 3 blocks away
@@JuliaN-kb5fh That's just Brad being Brad.
Okay let’s be real the BA kitchen is KILLING IT w content during quarantine
Update: i upset by their actions :,( (not paying their diverse employees )
(wow i feel popular so many likes)
Quarantent
Agreed in full !!
It gives me something to look forward to 🤦♀️
It's keeping me sane!
Absolutely love it!!!!!
"Why are the mac and cheese upside down??"
"Maybe you are holding it upside down?"
*both giggles*
That was so cute i'm crying ❤❤
@The Truth about Africa hurts that's the last thing i need
@The Truth about Africa hurts noooooooooo 😁
Why does Andy look like he broke into someone’s house in the middle of the night to cook this
LMAOOOOOO 😭😭😭
This is definitely the vibe I'm getting too! Why is he whispering? 😅
Best part of this series has been how awkward he is in that house!
hes at his sugar daddys house 😭😭
Well he is a Masterplater
*Chris's son with a cheese ball on a thermometer.*
Chris: dear God that thing is sharp put it away.
Kid: I MaDE a chOO-ChoO tRaIN
that thermometer costs a hundred bucks lol. It's a thermapen.
it was so cute tho
@@CrystalLace827 I got mine for $75 during their Christmas sale.
This kid is going to give Chris a heart attack
Jean-François Daignault it gave me a heart attack children do weird stuff 😂
Carla's kids' joke is pretty impressive.
tik tok
Old
Molly: "I could definitely see someone eating this whole thing."
FINALLY, VALIDATION
What I learned today was that BA’s Favorites are: Calabrian Chile and Panko
TBH even here in Scotland they're a core staple in our kitchen. It's the little extras that make simple inexpensive ingredients taste amazing.
Well I would have guessed about the panko.
Don't forget chili crisp!
Pablo is just bread crumbs
and salt. so much salt.
Chris’s kid saying “it’s delicious” while looking at him is the purest thing I’ve ever seen
Chris being proud of his son’s cheese pull is a close second
KHERS MHERRKHERR
Chris looks like a sissy
If the kid has an eyepatch next video we know what happened.
"She's perfect, she's beautiful, she looks like Evangalista, she's a model" Yesssss so funny, I love your little scruff pup Andy!!!
jaaaaannnnee Goldie stoned that collar. Her smile is beautiful. Andy knows a French Vanilla fantasy when he sees one.
Aja the House down!! Yes GOWWDD!!
"I'm not gonna say nothing"
That bit gave me life mama!
Goldie, your smile is beauuutiful
I get CHILLS thinking about Molly's Airbnb bill.
Okay tell me why I was watching this and trying to figure out how much she and her husband make combined and if they put this on a credit card or not
@@Elizabethx15 Not just the long stay. Tourism is DOA in California right now. If they leave, it's going to be sitting empty in what is normally prime tourism season. Plenty of reason to negotiate a generous rate for the last tenant they can expect for the foreseeable future.
Airbnbill*
@@dio52 This. Tourism everywhere is gasping for air. I am willing to bet they got a very good deal for their stay.
Her hubs owns Willett Creative Spatial Design and they have a lot of top tier clients (like Adidas, Urban Outfitters, and Sephora to name a few), so I'm assuming the Airbnb bill is probably chill
Andy really does seem like he broke into someones house to film this and is trying not to alert suspicion
They won't be mad. He took their mac & cheese up a notch.
This is my favourite comment. Good job.
I spilled my drink laughing at this.
Andy is going to be the star of BAs new series Baking And Entreeing.
I wouldn't mind if Andy broke into my house ;)
Title: Pro Chefs Improve Boxed Mac & Cheese
Carla: *Makes Popcorn*
Yeah,but that popcorn was amazing, not to mention no kernel left behind
How did she make popcorn with not one unpopped kernel? I would love to know the secret!!
Ed Beard “No Kernel Left Behind!”
markhh me too!!
@@markhh well, I get a pretty large pot so that all the kernels get enough room to pop.
In other words, cook a little less kernels than your pot can take. If your pot can cook 3/4 cups with a little unpopped kernels, do a little under 3/4 cup.
Priya’s relationship with her parents is goal
i had a mini heart attack watching Chris' child hold that thermometer
Standing on a stool. Yeah.
Andy always seems like he's cooking in secret.
We get a glimpse of the secret guy at 18:33
Its like hes secretly cooking at his hook-ups house
He's in an unfamiliar place. I would be nervous.
No one must know he's cooking boxed mac & cheese.... *no one*
Irani families will float over you and tell you you're doing everything wrong. I also cook like it's a secret
Carla didn’t even try , she literally made some bomb pop corn lol she’s my favorite, her vibe is everything. So calm and chill.
I love her and her son. They just made popcorn and then spent the next 5 minutes making corny neck-cracking jokes as a family should 😂
Top notch mum
Carla's def the alpha goddess of the group.
and how beautiful she looked during yesterday's live show... I lost my mind that woman is magic
Pop corn is the correct use for the cheese packet in the box, though. I ended up buying a giant tub of powdered cheese because I'd go through so many mac and cheese boxes and have a ton of the pasta just sitting around uncooked.
Chris’s older kid is me - he heard the offer of food through a closed door. 😋
Twins!
nobody:
all BA chefs: "PANKO!!!"
read this in the same tone as "MANGOOO!"
Chris making fried Mac and cheese is something I could not foresee
And it was everything you'd imagine you'd want 😍 I love Chris, he's such a great guy
Me either 🤯
He did what he said, he had to make up for his childhood in one go
He took something unhealthy and made it more unhealthy
@@nudl3Zz yum!
Chris's children are going to have food standards through the roof when they grow up.
Thomas Luera and Brads kids are all gonna be fermenting everything
August B Phelps and Thomas Luera
That is so funny only because it’s true🤣😂😂🤣
One of my nephews once harassed me for using per-shredded cheese for microwave nachos. He is, to be fair, a cheese monger these days. All of this because my sister is the kind of person whose most expensive possession, other than her house, is her stove, which far outstrips her car. Yeah, Chris's kids are going to be very into good food.
Yep, they better get good degrees and high paying jobs so they can afford those fancy restaurants they'll crave every day...
@@uweschroeder I'm pretty sure they will pick up on their dad's amazing culinary skills and be to cook gourmet food for themselves.
“I’m gonna add a little ghee because why not”- Sohla, understanding what I am at my core
Chris has such an unassuming fun and wild part to his personality and I love it. Like you kinda expect him to be a bit of a drag and quiet but it’s actually the opposite
that sounds kinda mean but my intentions are good I promise!! 😅
claire, while hugging her cat tenderly: so annoying
every single cat owner: i feel u
"but now go away" *kick its butt*
Yes!! My little black beans is a brat sometimes but I love him dearly and hug him and kiss him constantly
@@karu6111 lmao I think she prodded him away gently with her toe / foot
@@TiannNChong either way, I'm sure he didn't mind. Didn't mind my sassy friend when he bit my foot when I tried to get him into a video call lol
yeah
BA: “Okay, so we need you to make some boxed Mac and cheese.”
Carla: “Popcorn?”
BA: “No...”
Carla: *Popcorn*
BA: “Stop.”
Carla: *AND ME AND MY SON ARE GONNA BREAK OUR NECKS*
BA: “PLEASE”
Lmao
"One of these days they're going to kill me in my sleep." SOHLA IS MY FAVORITE PERSON EVER.
Priya's dad is adorable. "Can I have another bite?" That pesto mac looks yum.
Priya's dad out here being a professional BA's best camera man.
Priya's parents are the best. Her Dad was so cute about wanting another bite.
And Priya being one of the only people not using Kraft
Priya and her circus, Nobody cares frankly ....
Priya’s dad vs stiff Steve
@@finnyforever08 you don't,rude
Yet another time BA has read the comments and followed through.
Way to cater to your audience!
Next time - straighten the door handle above Chris' microwave!
We appreciate it!!
way to *cater* to your audience
Honestly I think Sohla needs her own series where she is reinventing classic dishes and making unique recipes
This commment aged well
Zev Rand oh I was so angry that one of my favorite creators on this channel was being being treated so unfairly. She and all the other people of color in the BA test kitchen, need equal pay.
Her show in Babish's channel is quite similar.
@@ishitaananya8649 yes, my comment aged really well
@@CorynWarriorKitty Yeah,it definitely did
Why is Andy cooking at the noise level I do at 3am when I don’t want to wake up anyone
Claire cuddling her cat after having just called him annoying is a MOOD
Pretty much how I’ve treated every cat I’ve owned
If you have cats, you’ll understand lol
😹😻
We bullied this man into syncing his clocks
Now can we PLEASE get him to straighten up that wonky cabinet handle?
This made me cry laughing in the new video where they read youtube comments. Congrats on getting featured
@@Indigooey I feel I owe Chris an apology now!
Priya's relationship with her dad is the cutest and purest thing ever it brings me so much joy ☺❤❤❤
I know! She must be well-adjusted af.
Chris’s children soooo cute. Love that he had trouble getting them to eat his food. So what my grandchildren would do.
"Why are the Mac and Cheese here all upside down?" "I think 'coz you're holding it upside down" PLEASE THIS IS SO PURE AND PRECIOUS
that was so sweet i had to stop for a sec
I replayed it a few times then laughing and crying of cuteness overload😍
I was waiting for him to slap himself on the forehead, LOL 🤣
Chris' cheese pull revealing his unfazed child was amazing.
Imagine the confidence boost you'd get if you recognized any one of these chefs buying kraft mac and cheese at the store
How are we not talking about Andy saying that his dog is "beautiful, she's perfect, she looks like Linda Evangelista, she's a model"
it's a reference to RuPaul's drag race
@@jamesliggins891 I know, which is why I was surprised no one was talking about it in the comments!
Tea, Andy’s the trade of the team 🥰
Carla seems like she has a fun household.
Andy, are you hiding the fact that you’re a chef so you won’t have to cook for whoever you’re quarantined with?
Burn something if you're not okay
Apparently he’s at an Air BnB and didn’t wanna disturb the host
He can come stay with me
@@Lilly-rv1vs a air bnb with a host during quarantine ? lol
TiagoShirayuki I’m just saying what other people are saying. And keep in mind these are recorded long before they’re put out.
interviewer: make a dessert out of lobster and clam chowder
sohla: done
interviewer: i was joki- what
My level of appreciation for the crew that edits this videos is enormous. Please never stop leaving those comments on the video, it gives me life.
Chris calling his son “this child” ultimately made my day 😂
Perhaps like me They use non gender specific like my small human or under age being. We support the person view of self and try best mindful way describe pronouns.
@@brandiruble2987 i appreciate your effort. Or you can give your children names.
This is a joke, in case it didn't translate well.
@@brandiruble2987 what sort of meaningless drivel is that??!
@@brandiruble2987 Uhhh I think it just slipped unconsciously out of Chris' mouth 😅 But thank you for your input 😊
He may also be trying to protect his children by not exposing their names? Idk if he has in the past so maybe I'm wrong.
alternate title: pro chefs being freaked out by powder cheese for 20 minutes
That was Claire, Molly, and Andy - have these people never been high school/college age and in need of cheap calories?
@@recoil53 Probably a combination of "it's been a while" and them being pro chefs; seeing it as a kid/ teenager the colour doesn't seem as a ridiculous as when you cook for a living and notice that mac and cheese is never that colour
@@Ireojimayo Claire and Molly are under 30 and Andy turned 30 within the last year.
@@recoil53 what're you talking about? Claire is 33 and Mollly is 30...
@@nadesicond4018 Really? I got their birthdays wrong then.
"I can definitely see someone eating this whole thing". Speaking as someone who's never shared a box of mac and cheese in his life, same Molly, same.
I feel this comment in my soul
I will never not smile at the "quiet on the set" callouts to everyone's chaotic families
Andy's disgust at dried pasta that cooks within 6 minutes is fantastic
White cheddar, Annie’s, AND shells. I knew Priya was a real one.
Right? That's my best depression meal
Yesss !!! *.*
Emily Dale yesyesyes omg
Yes ! She was the best
Annie's is pretty good as it is, she should be improving the crappier ones
Chris’s kids: “look I make a choo choo train!” 😂 I’m dying 😂😂
Brad is slowly getting such a dad bod and I'm living for it.
god carla is Gorgeous like she’s truly glowing in this vid
She came up with a bold idea to make something out of it.
thats what i was thinking too
It's funny I was thinking about that as well. She certainly has a particular radiance that I don't notice much in the normal studio vids.
and her relationship with her son was so cute, as always
Me and Carla and Claire and food. My kind of foursome.
why is no one talking about Carla's son doing that crack joke lmao i am impressed
I need a trigger warning for that sound. Sends shivers down my spine!
I came to the comments for this, what an innovator
Classic tiktok joke 👌
I've had that dream where all my teeth fall out 2 nights in a row because of that sound.
@@ronjones-6977 are u ok bro? lol
my heart melted when priya fed her dad. Give the man a bowl woman!
Brad aka “The Fermented King” 😂😂 you will never see his part without hearing something being fermented. I love it
Key take away: PANKO
Build that texture, people.
I read that in Carla's voice XD
@@emilyfisher2052 same lol
and lots of butter
Recently it showed up at my store and i've made some schabowy (polish pork schnitzel) with it. It's the most crunchy breading i've ever had.
Yeah to jujsh it up 😂
Molly: “I could totally see someone eating this whole thing”
It’s me. I’m someone. Every time.
MOOD
Same!
In Canada it makes 4 servings....for the same size box. They're LYING TO US.
I have a hard time picturing someone not eating the entire thing.
@@fordhouse8b I mean I'm serving like 3/4 as a portion I can't just leave the rest.
Claire cuddling her cats while she cooks is literally me everytime I cook.
Cutest thing ever she is.
Andy’s relationship with his dog gave me life... also him saying the word “devine” ugh like that made my heart happy
Chris repeatedly saying oh dear god to his children is giving me life
Claire Hefner ugh that’s meeee, I kinda love Chris 😂😅
Priya feeding her dad mac and cheese is the most wholesome thing I've seen all week 💗
You need to get out more. (Oh, ya. Sorry about that)
This made me miss my dad a whole lot. He passed away five years ago.
It is really lovely
Him asking for a second bite - ooph, my heart. So wholesome.
Andy giving his dog forty kisses a day was the sweetest confession!!
Professional Chefs: Adds other ingredients and spices it up.
Me: Cuts the mac & cheese box in little pieces and sprinkles it on top.
The Waite 😂😂😂
this comment is transcendental thank you
Morocco: My parents were kinda like health food fanatics...
That explains a lot...
Agree
I said that outloud.
And then his kids don't want to try something unhealthy
That and the fact that he imprinted on Frasier episodes. It’s like we’re finally getting a glimpse into his origin story
Lmaooo
Priya's dad is literally the best camera-man ever.
and been pretty good with his money too.. look at the house!
@@gnaugihz2490 that house with the thousands pantries is to die for!
@@fadhilramadhani1847 I secretly want a house tour. It looks beautiful! Lol
never trust a chef who doesn't eat their food, and here's her dad, asking for a SECOND bite- that's authenticity, right there!
Her dad is so adorable.
priyas dad was adorable and i also died a little when it said "Andy's dog/napkin"
I love how every time you hand Molly a noodle, she makes a cacio e pepe
I see chris’ son and immediately think of that meme where the mum asks ‘what’cha got there?’
and the little boy runs around screaming ‘a KNIFE!’
NOOO!
My mom has a fantastically funny memory of sitting on the couch with the kitchen in view when she suddenly hears 12 year old me scream and looks up to see me run out of the kitchen followed closely behind by my six year old little brother brandishing a knife!
Bryan Scott Langley I’m glad you made it out okay to share the story! 🤣🤣🤣
@@wolfdragonhorse I'm crying
Bryan Scott Langley I’ve had the same thing happen with both of my younger siblings. I honestly don’t know how I’m here today 😂
I lost it when the editor added “Andy’s dog/napkin” 💀
The fact that Sohla has a bulldog makes me love her even more
Andy always sounds like he’s shooting a video for a video memoir, or he’s lost In space and this is his final recording
Carla and her son are pure gems. That joke.
Perfect delivery!
HAHA not to mention that punny name for the mac and cheese - "corn this way". That was real _corny_ 🤣🤣
It’s so validating to see a professional chefs macaroni foam up over the top
Thank you so much! I have a nephew that is 27. He has the palate of a 5 year old. I want him to get more healthy. My brother died when he was 13. Now he is a father of three. Maybe I can use some of the recipes to snazz up his recipes. And add some green to his meals.
I felt like Claire was about to start reading out the ingredients when she was holding the mac and cheese box
Gourmet Makes is in her blood now
Same.
I knowww I was expecting it tbh bcs yknow she DID say she miss gourmet makes
Reading the ingredients is her favorite part.
"This is how you temper cheese sauce"
Carla's son Cosmo is a burgeoning comedic talent. Such a charming young gentleman.

“Why is the macaroni upside down”
“Look I made a choochoo train”
That kid is my soul
The editor who said “the mystery continues” at around 17:40 about Andy being in Long Island is incredible
