Bon Appétit we want a day in a life of BA chef pleaseee
Is that the old Michael’s font? 😂 I guess that fits the diy theme actually
Yes!!! Love those! Can you do HELLO PANDA'S next???
Will there be a restock of the tie dye shirts?
Know what it's called if Claire were to drop all those Pocky at 05:19 ? A-POCKY-LYPSE!
if yall add 20 minutes of personal life drama and character development this is an amazing workplace sitcom
It already is
We need someone to make a sitcom based on this lol
Are you kidding?? The banter with Brad in each of these is already very Pam and Jim-esque. The sitcom is HERE.
you're talking like they don't already do that?
Right?! I'm nearly as invested in the "cast" as the content.
i think brad and claire should trade shows for one episode! brad attempts to make gourmet.... while claire goes on location somewhere for 'its alive! claire absolutely deserves a vacation
Why does this not have enough likes
YES omg can you imagine how chaotic that gourmet makes episode would be
I would pay good money to see this
Genius!
Oh my god you're right
claire: i think im gonna try one more batch with rice flour cus i want it a tad more tender
me, with 0 professional culinary education: good call
Ava Pajinag BAHAHAA
🧐 I can conquer
Gaby: *gets excited over pocky* “Can I hug you?!”
Claire: “of course!”
The entire BA kitchen is adorable
They are greying like crazy though. What must they go through?
I love gaby, she's so cute and she always excited. You can tell she loves her job.
I would die for anybody in the BA test kitchen
i mean look at her at 30:48. B A B Y G A B Y
@@vocexseta maybe they’re being woke and stopped dyeing it
Claire doesnt age, she simply gains an extra grey hair for every gourmet recreation she successfully creates.
Will Thornton Aww I just realized that, that is soo cute
Except for the pop rocks. That's 3 greys
The same goes for my American Studies teacher. She actually looks a lot like Claire if I’m being honest.
30:07, he didn't sniff the food this time. He just ate it.
Will Thornton her gray hairs are gorgeous
Chris' character development from tempered chocolate snub to who cares is literally my favourite redemption arc
it's most likely just because it's pocky lol
Same same
Apathy for the whatever.
Yoongi Yoongi Nee!! Nah, I just think he feels bad because he was the cause of the pop rocks conundrum
@@Jacqueline0221 also "chris is my favourite" has to have him feel like 😍😍😍😍
5:47 UH DID SHE JUST WRITE WITH A PIECE OF POCKY
Person Who likes cats I didn’t notice that until I saw this comment
Another reason to love her
Yep...
Not much else to say...
Umm...
Bye?
ive been looking through the comments to see who would notice
Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed that lol
Claire's gray hair is literally gorgeous
first name Claire,

@@Peetzaahhh No we know it's Claire Half-Sour Saffitz. It's an inside joke that we all would die for Claire fromthebonappetittestkitchen aka CFTBATK
Come on, let’s give Claire what she originally wanted!
*GOURMET BUTTERFINGERS*
I honestly think she's afraid at this point
It can't be that difficult. It's like hard-crack halva with peanut butter instead of tahini
@@rogerkenny1316 It has tempered chocolate.
Not a joke.
Ladyfingers are great! I have to make them to do Tiramisú in a couple of weeks! Xoxo
Cooking My Way ladyfingers? Is that a nickname for butterfingers or is it a seperate thing?
Gaby is the cutest sweetest human ever “Can I hug you” like yes who would say no?!
Chris
I lost it when Brad said, "Taste the rainbow" and Claire said, "That's not...that's a different one."
Claire: *graduated with honors from Harvard*
Also Claire: Hot glue will be ok in the oven.
did she really?!
@@mimirose2833 She did! I believe she studied History, but I'm not 100% on that.
@@DwyrainDicing Wow!
Dylan Summers why is she working at buzzfeed then-
M e y a BA isn't buzz feed.... what????
Claire writing with a Pocky has such chaotic energy I'm dead
I'm so glad someone else addressed this lol. I saw it and immediately scrolled through the comments to see
@@TheAsgor Where in the video was it?
Amanda Lockridge @5:49
Hunter DeFraga hahaha I just got done do the same thing!
I was about to say this. I got confused hahahaha
The pure joy in Claire's face when she tasted the first pocky cured my seasonal depression
When Claire improvised with that frosting tip to get the even coating.. I then realized what I was looking for in a soulmate.
Claire - "We didn't have this in St. Luis"
Gabby (from a different country) - "I LOVE POCKY!"
idk where gabby is from but i assume she’s latin? and among latin pre-teens pocky is super popular!!! (probably because we’re all bit weebs) me and my best friend when i was about 12 were so obsessed we literally called each other pocky, haha
@@heyannabeth she's from argentina, im paraguayan (which is right next to argentina) and i have never had pockys even though i think my weeb friends did lmao (what i mean is its not on every supermarket and stuff ykno)
Peenk a lot of things prominent on the coasts never make it to the Midwest.
Okay but as a person who lives in St.Lous, the only place you can find Pocky is at the World Market.
Pokys are a HUGE thing here in Mexico. You can get them in any supermarket and in some stores you can get some weird gourmet ones (with almonds and nuts)
I remember back in the day you could only get Pockys in manga conventions but now they are everywhere.
They make Chris out to be such a stickler for perfection,
but hes like "who gives a crap" and that's why hes Claire's favorite.
I think he is only critical towards himself.
nah, he's been more constructively critical of claire in other episodes. I get the sense that he's started backing off because of the stickler reputation we give him
Chris is awesome, I love their work relationship
Maybe he feels bad for the pop rocks + starbursts thing that he’s trying to make it up 😄
no one:
literally not one soul:
claire: *writes with pocky*
No one:
Literally not one soul:
You: *steals comments*
Seth Doan I didn’t even look through the comments so I wasn’t trying to steal anything
Yeah
No one:
Literally not one soul:
Me: *Reads ridiculous comment thread*
Also Me: -Comments on ridiculous comment thread-
"oh claire is dipping them in chocolate! wow she's almost d-"
eighteen minutes remaining
Bon Appetit really just became RUclips's "The Office". The character development and camera work is so similar lol
Absolutely!
They're on season 4 now because they're starting to diversify the cast.
I just realized that Claire looks and sounds like Pam from “The Office.” Her personality is even kind of similar, except Claire is more outgoing.
Staci F I think you’re exactly right I feel like she’s Pam in the later seasons cause she breaks out of her shell
@@jennys.2440 lol I agree
Claire: "I didn't temper the chocolate"
Chris: "Like...who cares"
Really trying to make it up to her for the Pop Rocks, huh, Chris?
Between that and "I didn't mention the grill marks", I think he's learned that you don't make things difficult for Claire and get away with it
GABI AND CLAIRE THE MOST WHOLESOME- IM CRYING
When the metal cone slid down the coated biscuit perfectly i let out an audible "ooooh"
i just realized that BA is like if The Office happened in a big kitchen
@@juliajolina i would live for that
@@juliajolina that would be something!
I WAS LITERALLY JUST WATCHING NICOLE TV AND I SAW UR PROFILE PIC
Steven Tran omg right
some please make an Office edit with BA's videos
did she just write with the pocky stick at 5:49? my eyes have been OPENED
They make great writing instruments.
When I was little my sister and I used write on each other with pocky on long car rides. That bit brought back good memories 😆😆
Anthony Zhang I came to the comments to see if I was seeing things
i had to go back and rewind just to make sure i wasn't seeing things. 😂
LOOOOL
Men’s pocky:
*SANDALWOOD POCKY*
That is cursed
I could taste it for a second and it was Not Fun
That’s so vile!
Jane Garabedian leather pocky lol
I know I'm really late but it has to be sandalwood, teakwood, and leather flavor.
I love how at the end Claire said it looked like something you would get in a fancy restaurant with a coffee after your meal, and that's actually a thing in Japan. Good instincts, lol
Claire: "I didn't temper the chocolate."
Chris: "That's fine. Who cares."
Chris Morocco has spoken, everybody! No more tempering chocolate!
I love his line earlier in the episode. "Honestly, no one is gonna care about the biscuit, make it a bit thinner and you're good" Claire: "Yes!"
Next up: Claire obsessing about tempered chocolate and creates an eternal limbo for herself.
Yah Yeet I forgot Chris said this! Later in the video he’s the one that brings up the grill marks on biscuit 🤦♂️
Claire: worried that touching her mouth to the straw is gross and unsanitary.
Also Claire: stick the unprotected cookie ends into an old piece of foam from the photography studio without hesitation.
😆🤣
at383 OMG! I was hoping someone was going to say it! Also, the number of times she touches her hair/face/God knows what else and then touches food...
😂 facts!!!
😂😂 leave Claire alone
She was only worried because it was being captured on camera, though I also feel she was starting to get triggered when the dude's face was rubbing on a second strawberry pocky while he was eating off the poster board.
As it is approaching Christmas season, Claire should try and make a terry’s chocolate orange! It’s the sign that Christmas is here when I see them in stores.
Orange stuff in general. Oranges grow in the winter, so wintertime oranges and orange flavored things are plentiful
"If you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean."
OMG, that was DRILLED into my head during my first job at McDonald's (in nineteen-eighty--mumblemumble)!
I know I'm late but I think that line is used in every restaurant lol I have heard it so many times
5:49 I'm sorry Claire did you just WRITE with the Pocky?? I'm dying XD
I had to pause the video and find the first comment that mentioned this when I saw this!
I came here to comment exactly that
Same I did the same thing, coming to the comments right after that happened. I mean they like zoomed in on it, but I'd like an explanation.
creative
Christine Douglas yo I didn’t notice till you said it
Gaby Melian is very very very under appreciated- everything she says gets out to the side and no one really pays attention to her when she just wants to spread her joy to other people... I LOVE YOU GABY!!!
Ikr I was just about to mention gabby excitement is so adorable!
shes just like my abuelita.
gaby is so cute i love her! i feel like Rhoda is too, shes so kind and helpful x
Dude, yes. Gaby giving Claire a hug purely out of her joy and enthusiasm for her trying Pocky for the first time was insanely pure 😭😭😭
Alex Day this made me tear up I ALSO LOVE YOU GABBY
Claire: What just happened?
Andy: I was about to sneeze and I know he's like zooming up on me.
Claire: Oh, Ben... That'll go in the blooper reel.
Director: Or the episode.
Claire: Or the episode.
Which the episodes are basically blooper reels.
23:10 Claire: “You’re coming at a very bad time.”
Delaney: *Ight imma head out*
good to see the production team has been torturing Claire less and giving her actually feasible pastry chef attempts items UNLIKE POPROCKS😂
We don’t say the P word around here anymore
@@kelzbelz313 😂
did claire seriously just use one of the pocky as a writing tool when measuring? absolute legend
Right! That's what I thought and I couldn't believe my eyes so I had to re-watch it like 5 billion times lol. It's at 5:49 if anyone's wondering 😊
"How can I help?"
"Do the most annoying part"
hahaha yesss
I've binge watched probably 20 of these Gourmet Makes episodes over the weekend (I'm quarantined, don't judge me) and I've gotten so I enjoy the roles of all the guests that trickle through. Like Chris is the supportive "You got this, you nailed it!" guy. Brad is the commiserater/occasional partner-in-crime. Sohla is the mother of chocolate who makes tempering look easy but you also know you will never get it. Amiel, Molly, Andy, and Carla are the siblings waiting in the wings to judge/eat when no one is looking. Gabby is the exuberant "I love everything!" person. Dan is the unseen older brother making things harder. Rhoda is the barely seen older sister who sets the rules. Adam sucks. And, of course, Claire is adorable.
Are we really ignoring the fact of how adorable Gaby is?🥺
Such a pure soul, I love her
Seeing how excited she was to try claire's pocky was the best part of the video
nope
I LOVE HER 😭😭😭💕💕💕
She’s my fave
5:48 is no one going to acknowledge the fact that she used a pOCKY STICK AS A PENCIL
JacobLiQu I came to the comments to see if anyone seen it to
P
JacobLiQu hi my name is Jim but people call me George
I noticed that :p
Comments like this piss me off. "GUYS GUYS Am I Th3 OnLy OnE whO....???????"
I love that she Carried the foam around instead of of putting them on a plate or something
you can’t help but fall in love with this women 😂 like her little giggle is so sweet and wholesome
My brain when Claire mentions she wants it dryer
*chanting, while banging fists on table* DEHYDRATE DEHYDRATE
meeee
She's mentioned she's trying to make the recipes able to be done in a home kitchen. I guess the pastry tip and a ton of skewers she used wouldn't be around most home kitchens, but otherwise she kept to that in this one.
Just came down to comment this. "Hmm... I do think they could be a little dryer" *eyes widen* WHERE'S BRAD!?
Claire reading ingredients: artificial flavors, YEAST, ...
Claire, 4 minutes later after trying a non yeasted dough: *examines pocky*
Claire: I think this might be a yeasted dough.
I don't think Claire actually pays attention to that section and to be fair... I kind of don't blame her lol
@@tcaz while i agree with you...you would think she'd take note of the non industrial ingredients she can use. You know...for reasons.
She says it's her favorite part, but I never believed that.
@@Michael_800 i believe it, and i think it's because she can just turn her brain off for that time, as opposed to all the difficult problem solving for the rest of the process
@@Michael_800 In one episode she says "at this point they just make me say that". it's not her favorite part anymore, just part of the show.
When the camera panned to Tommy I was like, “WHY HAVE WE NOT SEEN HIM BEFORE?!”😂 his shirt made me so happy
"Are you kidding?, I diffinitely age."
That exactly what a vampire would have said
Claire: **tries her first Pocky ever**
Gabi: Can I hug you?
Can Gabi get any more precious? The answer is a resounding *yes* 💘
Yes she can when she cant even open the bottle and asks the filming crew if they can open it
I think you got it wrong. Gabi hugged her because Claires remaking pocky which is her favorite snack
Every work team needs at least one Gabi to be cohesive.
I want to sit down on the floor and have Gabi tell me stories while I eat some of her cooking.
Anyone else want Claire to make the ‘hello panda’ things?
Lexie Piach omg yes, i like them more than pocky!
@@alyshamcalpine2238 haha arent they the same ingredients/flavours as pocky? only in a different form?
alysha gail pocky will always be superior
Saloni Gupta basically lmao, i just like them more!
YES!
I'm loving Brad and Claires platonic early Jim and Pam vibes
"Do people know how good these are?"
XD Yeah, we do.
Did nobody else notice that she wrote notes with a Pocky at 5:51?
Haha nice catch!
i saw it i didnt think anyone else did
I was searching for this comment. Like how didn't more people notice this?
Isaac Christenson omg 💀
I saw it and replayed it and was like did anybody else just see that
The first 5 minutes were more like “Pastry Chef Eats Pocky the First Time” and I love it haha
They made her dye her hair gray and her pubes gray too. Poor Tommy though, they chopped off his pee pee.
Didn't eat the banana flavored ones though. The best flavor imo.
@@VoxNerdula why are you like this?
claire is literally an angel and anyone who disagrees can fight me
this episode: claire discovers that pocky is in fact crack
Brad gives off the same chaotic energy that Julien Solomita does
Fire sign energy?
brad and claire give off aries and virgo energy together
I’ve commented the same thing on other videos!
a duck Claire is a Virgo so that makes sense to me
Aries test kitchen
I love how everyone asked about the grill marks and Claire said no, no one asked. LOL.
Summer Rose I just commented to same thing 😂
I had a stroke while reading this

I love that Gaby's reaction to loving pocky was to hug Claire🥺
I love how happy Claire is in this one like she’s actually having fun instead of being stressed
Lily ikr
Hi 🙋 I am a new friend 🌸🌺🌷🥀🌹 please visit my channel and subscribe.... thank you
When Claire dropped the pastry tip over the pocky to smooth the chocolate. JAW DROPPED.
That was the most satisfying thing I've ever seen.
My jaw dropped too idk why that was so impressive but it was
I know, I never would have thought of that solution for that problem in a million years
19:10
I totally agree with you! 😂 it was awesome to see!
When you're watching the GM series in a random order and you don't get any references
Golf?
awh Gaby makes me smile. she’s so precious, especially when she saw the pocky
As an engineer, problem-solving I would argue is the #1 skill to have in said field. Watching Claire's problem solving abilities at work here is entertaining and also very impressive. After watching these videos for quite some time now I think Claire should be referred to as a "Pastry Engineer" haha.
Seconded.
Thirded.
Fourthed
Fif’d
Six'd
Claire explaining tempered chocolate is becoming her equivalent of Brad explaining smashed garlic haha
ALACIN
Its like a two part epoxy
“You know that thing where you just miss a piece of cultural knowledge that everyone has?”
*me with every single thing*
literally me as a german watching these videos on american snacks i’ve never eaten 😂😂
That’s me when my friends watch mainstream series 😂
Gabby so polite in asking "Why on earth are you doing..." -- "Just...may I ask...."
Can we all just take a second and appreciate Rhoda? She is always there to do the boring work to help out Claire and to lift her spirit. Love her
Yes! Rhoda appreciation post!
We love her so much!
Zdenek Krystof she is such a sweetheart.
I really really wanna see her make gourmet kinder bueno
YES!!!
Oooooo that would be great! Is there a suggestion box anywhere? Haha
Nobody NLUKUS Most don’t know anything about Kinder Bueno in the States. They’re not sold there.
YESSSSS
YESS OMG
claire: i'm gonna add vodka
me: wait what
claire: *pours vodka*
me: oh you're not kidding
you know what makes me happiest: Claire’s little giggle, oh my goodness do I smile my hardest when I hear it :)
I rewound 5:50 so many times. Is my girl taking notes with a piece of pocky!? 😂
Omg she is!! That's hilarious! 😂
I replayed it 3 times!!! Like "Yup that's a Pocky"
OMG I DIDNT NOTICE THAT LOL
ThePisceanDragon
Hahahaha... Same! 🤣
right? they really just sped on by that one lol
The shots of Claire dragging around the gigantic foam board studded with gourmet Pocky...poetic cinema *chef's kiss*
25:08 Claire's reaction to being asked "Is it clean?"
The only difference between me eating pocky when I was younger and now is that, when I was younger, I bought a box. Today, I ordered a set of 20 boxes at one go.
There is a distracting lack of Brad in this video, it’s an alarmingly low level of chaos
He is the the background at 15:09
Are we gonna ignore the fact that she WROTE WITH A POCKY!?!?
Ahh I saw that too I was gunna like ur comment then I realized it was at 69 and i didn't want to ruin that beautiful number I'll be back to like it though
5:51 Right?! I thought it was a Pocky pen at first lol
Joy Juag yeah I noticed that too! 😄😄😄
shhh... nobody noticed *wink wink*
leannescotty someone needs to make a pocky pen. Like seriously.
Love it how Chris always boosts Claire !
Watching this for some serotonin 😭 God I miss BA and the gang
bro what did claire eat growing up? in literally every episode she always starts with “well, i’ve never eaten this before” lmao
She's said she didn't have a lot of sweets and was pretty "sheltered" from them as a kid. Like they were extra special and rare treats for her.
Little Crow really? huh, so that explains it
i've never eaten pocky either, but had the Korean ones (Pepero) lol
@@user-zj5pb8hv9h the wealthy ones tend to not eat garbage, or at least way less than the poor and middle class. actually, a good thing.
That's good cus it means that you will be less reliant on sweet foods as you grow older
Maybe she should try a cold snack next. Like gourmet ice cream sandwiches or gourmet those tweety bird popsicles they sold with the lopsided gums as eyes
Claire already did ice cream sandwiches for BA. Just search the BA youtube channel for it.
You mean character popsicles? Maybe gourmet push ups (though that might be easy) or gourmet otter pops? I think the reason is that there's not a lot of cold snacks that's hard to do. Popsicles and ice cream sandwiches are pretty easy to make and im not sure if drinks count though she should totally do kool aid (though im not sure if thats easy too).
She could do Drumsticks or Choco Tacos.
Claire: “this is a bad idea”
Claire literally one second later: “alright I’m gonna try it”
I love how chris makes suggestions and quickly takes it back in case claire got to do whatever mindless comment he made like what happened in pop rocks lolololol but being a true chaotic person that he is, he quickly put it on brad instead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Claire dragging that giant piece of foam board all around the office to offer people gourmet pocky 😂 I can’t-
The Pockey cart reinvented
Yan Tse HAHAH YES !!
i genuinely dint bother finding ur comment btw i literally came across it HAHAHA😔✌️
chloee omg thanks random RUclips commenter 😳🙈🙈
Her unbridled joy walking around with that foam board filled with pocky is so satisfying to watch
Proud Claire is the Best Claire.
I literally love gabby cause she’s so nice
Claire laughs are so cuutee aaw
Claire: “I don’t think it would be a good idea to put my mouth on the straw”
Me: *thinks back to Brad sucking on the siphon in the kombucha episode*
"This is a bad idea. Alright, I'm gonna try it!"
There actually is a gourmet version of Pocky and it's called Pocky Premiere Classe. It's only available in Japan and all of the ingredients are much higher quality.
If it isnt made by Claire is it really even gourmet? c'mon
That’s great to know if you don’t know a chef like Clair near you! Thanks!
Oh yea totally forgot about that lol
Kaylaloves pups stfu
No it's not I'm in the US and get the premiums at my local Asian market
It’s weird, in the UK they’re called Mikado!
Honestly this episode was a lot more fun than I thought! Cleaning the coating with the metal thin going down is soooo satisfying!
"Just make them thinner and you're done."
This is why Chris is Claire's favorite.
Claire: “I’ve never had Pocky”
**Top 10 Anime betrayals of all time**
Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson would never speak like this!
ive never herd of Pocky til this
Norman i very much agree, that is a very non Ron Swanson comment
Ron Swanson yes.
That is not how Ron Swanson would say it, but I agree 100%
It’s so cute when she carries all the boxes out the way☺️
The pastry tip scrape to make the coating uniform is freaking genius
That sweet flavor she's trying to get? IT'S ALMOND. For some reason it's never listed in the ingredients because it's very second nature to simply use it in baking and pastry recipes over in Japan. No joke.
I wonder if that could cause health issues for people with nut issues! While it might be common practice in japan, it isn’t necessarily that way in America, and many people have nut allergies. (I have no culinary/ingredient listing experience) but I do believe in trying to present all the necessary information to avoid health complications in this situation
Victoria A on the back of the box it lists that the product is made in a factory where nuts are present
It's probably just an aroma and is listed under "artificial flavors". No way they could put real almond in something and not put it in the ingredient list
like the roman concrete thing with sea water
@@via9108 almonds arent nuts
Chris being a good supportive mother to Claire after crushing her soul with pop rocks for 35:08 straight
I doubt he isn't supportive - she's said twice that Chris is her favorite and she ditched Brad as fast as she could (doughnuts, e3) to talk to Chris.
For somebody who looks like they are having a crisis of faith when they hit a snag, her favorite would pretty much have to be supportive.
Finally!
