People saying the head pastry chef was mean all the time - yes, she mentioned the time, but she also took care to mention whenever he did something well and offered positive reinforcement. She never even directly said "you're too slow", but something like "we could move a little bit quicker".
Additionally, although doughnuts aren't his thing, DeVonn knows kitchens and kitchen time pressure. None of the feedback fazed him because it's just normal. He has received and undoubtedly given exactly the same feedback in countless other situations.
He's not slow she didn't hire enough staff so it's her fault. 2 people one being a tranee. This lady is sweat shopping these employees.
it is just the nature of a skiny women, they always act like that
@@flowerofash4439 I don't think that's the person they were talking about.
man yall commenters don't realize how nice the head pastry chef was...considering she has a reputation & order quota to uphold/hit daily as a hot shop in NYC. the shop doesn't need the press & BA was barging into their space...still Devon slayed
They were the ones who agreed to it so its still partially on them lol
More press/positive publicity never hurts any business.
I mean publicity is likely one of the big reasons they agreed to have them film.
Yes! He is absolutely adorable and she's committed to her craft!
Guys a huge flamer.
I get the feeling that the BA crew got there much later than they should have. I can picture they were supposed to start working closer to 5
I was going to say, maybe they should have even started a little ahead of the usual start of the shift to account for the hold up of filming plus the understandable lack of experience
this head chef is probably one of the nicest people I felt. Positive reinforcement while also pointing out time crunch
She's a great teacher. I'd learn the job so quick with her training. Awesome leader. She showed patience while staying professional. Idk how any1 can say she's being rude, she was nothing other than pleasant.
This pastry chef shows really some great leadership! She just says we're behind on time but don't let it intimidate you, just do the best job possible. And she gives great compliments as she sees he is motivated and also shows him what she sees when the doughnuts are fried.
I would personally be a lot more frustrated with someone at the front of the house coming in and saying there are only four of the twenty-five tastes on the shelve and they get to open in a few minutes. That intimidates trust in the back of the house a lot more, but Jessica kept calm and trust in him, and handled it great. Eventually seeing the milk frother of the coffee machine covered in residue would make me think front of the house would have something else to care for.
You can tell half of the comments have not worked in food . The pastry chef was so nice !!
Y’all wylin. Kitchens are intense they seemed pretty nice considering. And the point of this series is that it’s a real glimpse into their real workday.
forreal, but you know whats also fkin wild is the fact that theyre selling just one of those regular glazed donuts for $4.50. A Single Donut.........
Jess is such a great teacher in a stressful situation! I feel like his second day on the job he would do great!
Could watch longer videos of this sort. As a former kitchen employee, this takes me back and warms my heart. Devon should open up their own business and start a reality show !
Devon is a singular person...
I thought she kept a good attitude and was patient with him despite the lateness!
I don’t always love these “working a shift” videos, they can be stressful 😅 But Devon is so charming!!
If you guys think she’s annoying, she’s a sweetheart compared to some other individuals in the kitchen. Especially considering the reputation that the Doughnut Project has as New York City’s top doughnut specialty stores.
Everyone seemed pretty nice. Not sure why there are a bunch of comments about it...
@@JonathanOstrander because they're idiots. Why'd you invite a film crew? Why complain about being behind? It's like they don't understand that the entire point is to see what it's really like, not fake it
@@mattymattffs Free publicity and it shows a typical day in the life of what the staff do. It doesn’t exactly have to be what they do everyday. Then there is no point in having the host there.
@@JonathanOstrander the comments between everyone involved in this video are dripping with passive aggression.
Someone did not prepare for this shoot. Whether it was the donut shop or the Bon Appetit crew is not clear. Maybe the crew showed up later than they were supposed to, or maybe the shop didn't take into account the fact that *they're shooting video*-you know: like the kind with a presenter, and they're not just starting off a new worker...
Given the prevalence of small/local business owners who are absurdly irrational and given that we already know they're a donut shop with wacky ideas about timing that includes opening at 9 AM (wat) and they made the choice *not* to say, "this isn't going well-let's try again tomorrow if possible, but we need to scuttle this attempt so we can get back on track/make up for the lost time", it seems reasonable to conclude that it involved *at least* a little bit of unpreparedness on the part of the business.
I worked in a bakery when I was in college. I actually miss the early mornings. I have a corporate job now but if I could make the same money I’d go back to baking.
I love the choice of having Devonn takeover this show ❤️
I think they were behind.. not certain, but pretty sure..
He has the perfect hairdo for working in a restaurant with food. So sensible! If I ever had to go back to working in a commercial kitchen, I would learn to French braid my hair close to my head.
This has further proved to me that I do not belong in the kitchen. Devon handled things a lot better than I would've.
I love Devon. Beautiful inside and out ❤
Y’all brought it back!! I missed this show !!
DeVonn is grace under pressure. So skilled and funny. 😂 More.
Please keep doing these, Devon is such a personality!
So glad to see this back and more DeVonn!
Baby they was not playing about that clock lmao! I know that’s right!
I love DeVonn. I would literally watch him do anything. He has the best energy
He's definitely not the guy you would want protecting you in a robbery.
love his energyyyy!
🌹😉
Lack of energy
I LOVE this host lol, he’s fun!
Poor devon that was a lot of pressure! lol but he did great. It was great seeing his personality more on this episode.
Love this series! DeVonn is hilarious.
Love this series. Glad it's back!
How many times can someone say “we’re behind” “go fast” omfg 🤣
The owner has to be the straw-boss and make it all come together. This isn't the Martha Stewart show , she's running a bonafide business that has to produce quality goods in a timely fashion. More power to her.
DeVonn did so great! First days at a job are so stressful
Amazing series, love Devon.
Gurrlllll I love this series esp Devon ❤ More of this pls
Lol Piping! 😂 DeVonn is the best!!! ❤
Great series.
Good job!
devon is such a sweetheart and his main goal was to make sure he was a productive team member and i felt so bad for him :(
dude for real! i had to stop watching it because all i could hear was how often they told him how behind they were
His main goal is to get clicks and views for BA
@@ericfrazer4736 how is he being clickbaity tho lmao
@@kelseymccormick8796man y’all need to get offline they are a hot shop and she was never mean she just told him that they were behind on time which is true and they have customers to serve and schedule
This is my comfort video
I just love it
i enjoyed this really! hope you go to more cafes or pastry shops and experience what it feels like❤
super chill guy, was a pleasure to watch.
That was so great.. loved it 😊
I LOVE THIS SERIES
love love love this series and i hope they make more! Devon is such a sweetheart!
I love this man!!! So fun to watch
these are fun! do more of this series pleaseeee
these are excellent doughnuts. always delicious!
Such a keen to learn sweetheart, he will have a rolodex of culinary abilities once this series is done.
This was very interesting. Thank you!
I love DeVonn, so happy he’s on this series
DeVonn is my spirit animal!
Loved this episode and the doughnut shop! Great job. It’s probably very stressful
This is a good series, I'd be interested if they could send the chef's back in a year after they originally made these and see how much they remember :D
Their doughnuts are pretty good. I get them whenever I’m craving a good doughnut
cool
Please do more of this series! I love watching Devon
This was so interesting to watch!
This was so accurate, I worked at voodoo donuts in Oregon and that was pretty much my day exactly
Devon is doing so good! great job devon :D
Best doughnut shop EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Welcome to the darkness because that’s when doughnuts happen,” Lol
no shot another restaurant lets BA do this again lol
I like him it doesn’t feel forced he’s vibing
Life is like that. Good job.
I loved her in the handmaids tale
Devon is awesome
I’m gonna miss Brad but I’ll keep coming back for this DeVonn content.
Where is Brad going?🥺
I been away for a while but wtfdym you’re gonna miss Brad !?
@@MaalyB26 his contract with BA ended in December.
Having worked in a bakery this man stressed me out w how lackadaisical he was like I can appreciate a level head but omfg skdjfjfgktr
Overall Devon is the ideal first day hire especially having no experience lol considering the cramped space and filming crew they did amazing.
Devonn has such a fantastic vibe
He did such a good job. Love how unique their donuts are.
Devon was too chill and chatty for the timeline they were on. And I probably would have been the same at that hour of the morning 😂
He was slow AF!
Looooove thissss ahahaha
Devon was great!
Can someone make a companion video with a supercut of all the times they say they're behind?
Lol. I was thinking how are you inviting a camera crew in and then be stressed about timing. Lol. No
@@dralissa123 Never trust an establishment that prepares what you consume if they cannot handle time management in any scenario. 👍
It was stressful watching.
They're running a business with a deadline to make. Of course they're gonna be stressed about timing when they're hours behind normal schedule. It's not like she was rude about it, just letting his co worker know that they have to pick up the pace. The dude expecting to be perfect on his first attempt at making doughnuts was cringier than her mentioning they were behind.
@@imranak12 Where and when did he make it seem like he would be perfect? If anything you missed a lot of sarcasm...
Love the host.
Absolutely loved watching this and I don’t even like donuts.
He did such a great job!
I’m so confused on how they were that behind? 😂
probably delicious 😋
don't pressure my boy Devon !
love devon
Are there more videos with Devon? He is so nice
I really want to know where in the world can you get those awesome doughnut cutters! I have looked so much and nothing
This series is usually so fun, someone needs to tell these women he isn’t a real employee 😌
DeVonn needs to get the tables.
He definitely knows how to pipe and be piped
DeVonn? You never told us how the donuts tasted?
The presenter is such a cool guy. Like him. Did an amazing job. Im going to NY in a few days. Where is this shop exactly?
What kinda donut shop opens at 9am? I've already ate a dozen and havr had a nap by then
I want your life
Something tells me BA was laaaateee
I guess this might be the show’s whole shtick but it felt like they were treating him kind of poorly, like making it seem like the problems were all his fault? DeVonn handled it all so well though, he seemed just so sweet and eager to help things run smoothly, and also witty. He’s perfect for this series/food content videos in general. Loved this episode!
my guess is that production was running behind in one way or another, so that's kind of why they kept saying it. So it might have come off like it was specific to him, but more of a general side eye at production (or even something possibly like doughnut store saying "come at 5" and BA saying "lets do 5:30 instead" and the shop agreeing for one reason or another (like wanting the press or something))
yeah fr they were so passive aggressive wtf
@@vinwulff haha, my guy, as someone who works in a restaurant; that chef was being so nice! Being behind is a big thing when you're prepping for service, usually you'd have a head chef screaming at you, but she was being lovely, showing him how she wants the things done and giving him feedback and guidance on his technique, while pushing to make sure they keep the pace up.
In the world of kitchens, she handled it very nicely :P
@@vinwulff That's not passive aggressive, it's called being straight forward. He's there to make a show and has to be entertaining and has all the time in the world, which is fine, it's his job. This is her career/life. Do you expect her to not let him know that there's a deadline to make? Unfortunately this isn't a segment of just making doughnuts. They are in a business setting. They do not have all the time in the world for him to learn and play around. She could not have been nicer either. If dinner service was approaching and I still had tasks to complete and my Chef told me I was behind, it would not be considered passive aggressive. I'm so confused with the disdain towards the lady. She was very polite and pleasant. I would love to have her teach me to make doughnuts. She's a kind gentle woman with patience.
I dream about the cruellers here. Probably in my top 10, maybe top 5, things I've ever eaten.
New York has all these iconic places to eat. Meanwhile in my neighborhood all i have are corporate chains only accessible by driving
For the first few minutes, I waas really wondering if they were a little behind. The chef shouldve mentionned it.
Did they not account for the time spent talking and that he’s not a pastry chef? Then spent the entire time blaming him for everything lol
This looks _deceptively_ difficult. Wow.
Anyone know what song was playing at the end
🎉
If you need any more proof that the comments people are leaving on this video are misogynistic, take a look at the video Brad did for this series and the intensity of the supervision he had. No negative comments there.
I wouldn't be surprised if the BA producers even cued the staff to emphasize the time crunch for the sake of entertainment.
These women both struck me as patient and excellent at what they do. Worth reflecting on why seeing that makes you feel like they're too much.
DEVON IS A QWEEN!!
Idk why people in the comments are so negative. She's intense but nice. Devonn is a great host for this show.
Because this isn't a 30 minute baking challenge on Netflix or Food Network. People actually patron this place & purchase their food & eat it.
@@romaczech75 are you replying to me? I was disagreeing with people who said she's annoying and needs to be nicer. I think she's perfectly awesome for what she needs to manage.
