- When it was Chris Morocco's turn to be on Taking on Takeout, there was only one thing motivating him: to beat Andy Baraghani. We challenged Chris Morocco to make his own shrimp pad thai faster than it takes for delivery to arrive. Was he up to the challenge?

ABOUT BON APPÉTIT
Bon Appétit is a highly opinionated food brand that wants everyone to love cooking and eating as much as we do. We believe in seasonal produce, properly salted pasta water, and developing recipes that anyone can make at home.
I really, really want to see Brad attempt this (though I’m pretty sure he would barely be finishing a funny story by the time the delivery came).

Yes!!! 100% agree!
Haha Brad is hilarious.
The restaurant did all its prep in the morning before the first order came in.
Ya they basically just have to cook the shrimp and do the stir frying part of it.
I was going to say the same thing he took at most five minutes to stir fry that.
true, but i think the original idea isn't to see if they can cook it faster than the restaurant can, but to compare cooking it yourself with ordering and getting it delivered
@@rimaabisamra6233 your exactly right
Yes, they had a heated wok, all prep done, and were ready to go. They do this every day. And no traffic jam.
In most Asian restaurants most of the time the noodles are pre-cooked and placed aside. Even ingredients are pre-prepped. When an order is taken, it's just thrown together for a quick fry and served.
Of course. Ingredients are pre-prepped in most restaurants. Of course the meat isn't pre-fried, but all the veggies and sauces are ready. It's the delivery time and line that Chris was up against. I'm guessing the restaurant had a really quiet moment.
@@kilppa
Noodles are not pre-cooked. But noodles are pre-soaked in Asian restaurants.
Best part about the old BA videos was the Kitchen with everybody working and hanging out. That unified location and its energy was the heart of this channel.
i think this is still due to covid rather than new BA's editorial decision
@@vickylikesthis they also subletted their lease to other tenants. They don't have that location anymore.
@@givememore4free So there literally is no more BA's test kitchen? Ha!
@@givememore4free yeah what?!? No more test kitchen?? Wow
i stil enjoy chris' and brads Videos and occationally others but it has a bitter after taste tbh
Now if he got done at the same time the delivery got there..
That would be a real pad *TIE!*
that pun was well-done

Me too!!!
Shayne: "soak the noodles in room temperature water"
Chris: *immediately puts them in boiling water*
I think it was just heated up water. A fair corner cut
It was just that there was no air conditioner in the room
I think the time waiting on hold should be able to be used by the chefs for prep.
They have their noodles pre blanched and ingredients already chopped up.
@@CTguy203 big part of the prep in a restaurant is also done before the rush hours in the evening
Great suggestion!
Definitely should be added to the start to finish time 😩
@@CTguy203 they might have all there ingredients prepared which removes time but they have to drive to the location which adds time
Ah, yes. Time for "can I eat pad thai faster than Chris can make pad thai faster than delivery."
...Did you?
@@thomassparks827 nah, I had a bit left. :(
@@stfueg0 Bummer. Thanks for letting us know!

"It's not delivery. It's the death of Chris's hopes and dreams."
Still waiting for Chris Morocco to be in Morocco cooking moroccan dishes
😆😆😆
Chris Marrakech
Plot twist: they were on the phone to Andy who told them to cook the food and keep Chris waiting
Maybe Andy was the caller lmao
Ahahaha!
this is now canon

The restaurant likely had all the things prepped. AND, I think you should add their on-hold time to prep. We all have speaker phones.
Sure food is prepped in a restaurant but don’t they live in NY? How did it come that fast? Delivery driver road a bike 🤔 was it literally on the same block as this building they’re filming at? I still don’t understand it. I live in a normal town and delivery takes 45-1 hour always. The closest restaurants 30 mins tops.
You can tell he doesn't want to admit that he likes the delivery better lol. He just keeps talking about how he did everything right and still had time to spare but doesn't seem like he likes his more.
i think it was more like 'probably this was better but it had to hang out for a while so it's probably not it's best self' so i think he was being really cautious about being critical of it because any issues with it are probably mostly that it was hanging around for 15 minutes before he could eat it.

It's great when delivery is faster than they say they will be, unless you're in a challenge where you're trying to beat them. I suspect they had everything already chopped, sauce made, and noodles softened, so they did have a head start.
I actually appreciate the evolution of this show - speaking with authentic members of the food community lends some weight to this episode.
Prevents comments like "ugh why is the white guy cooking x, he doesn't know hot to do it, my grandma always puts the unicorn liver powder in hers and it is the only way to cook x"

Chris got too cocky. Otherwise he would have been getting everything else done during the 7 minutes the noodles cooked.
I think some garlic and ginger would have really punched up the pad thai
Please put Brad, Andy, Chris and Claire in the same kitchen again. I watched BA for them, sorry no offense to the new ones but they're just the best dynamic in BA.
I don't think that's going to happen, sadly. This is Claire's second time leaving BA.
@@livdashiell they probably know it's been 10 months since she's been off of bon appetit, just wanted to bring it up.
Yes but to be fair, Their ingredients were prepped in advance and in the time you had to cook you also interviewed a few authentic thai people, contemplated the meaning of life, Negotiated the terms and conditions for your life insurance, Filed back taxes for the last 5 years and read 'Memoires Of A Geisha' on kindle
whahahahhah
I was under the impression that interview are done before? It would be insane if they did it in those 30 min

"Not one to project too much confidence" - Also self scores above the actual score every time in recreate it series

They always score him waaayyy too low
thank god for talking to a Thai before cooking, you nailed it with the ingredients. tamarind cannot be replaced with lemon. and thanks for not putting ketchup in it too
no tofu!
Bon Appétit is dead. Long live Bon Appétit!
Anyone thinks that BA will be ending soon
Drinking game. Take a shot every time Chris says "you know"
Or every time he describes something as “fun”
Can't wait for them to realize this is a stupid concept and stop making these
PSA, Thai people eat their cuisine with forks not chopsticks.
For the love of God please STOP with the drum snare. Yikes.
We should send Chris some CBD balm for his sore back. Carrying the entire company must wear him out.
🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥
Lol
Brad would like to speak to you
@@ryannoneyabusiness1805
I posted the same for him...🤣
/Brad Leone has entered the chat
Had to turn it off when he said "Scallion adds sort of like an oniony element"... Who are you talking to, 3rd graders?
Shave the palm sugar to get it dissolve beautifully. :)
I use a cheese grater
Thank you for the tips I was wondering how to do that.
I love that the new "cast" of chefs is diverse and genuinely passionate about food. That said, these people need to demonsrate a bit more personality . I understand that they have not had the time to devellop rapport in the same kitchen. I hope that post CoVid they are able to provide the same kind of fun as in the previous videos did. They have big shoes to fill since the departure of so many. Right now it feels somehow more manifactured to dissapointing results.
Andy was the caller keeping Chris on hold and had the food already made lmao
THIS IS NOT HOW YOU COOK PAD THAI!! YOU NEED TO TALK TO JET TILA!! THE KING OF PAD THAI..
Wow this channel is so white now
To give credit most restaurants have their ingredients prepared similar to a chipotle so all they have to do is just package the food and deliver it.
Usually Pad Thai can done in 5 minutes (if you prep some ingredients before)
Thai food isn't eaten with chopsticks tho
As a Thai yess we do lol we eat noodles with chopsticks. Folk and spoon for rice menu
Chris is the definition of chaotic neutral
my pad thai delivery is never ever saucy enough..... its like a brick
pad thai is not supposed to be saucy at all
Can’t believe I forgot to block Bon Appetit!! On it now!
sorry chris but that looks nothing like an authentic pad thai
I love the editing of the text "tight glaze" flying by all over the screen when Chris forgot what to call it. Thanks video editor, for the giggle :)
His shock when the food arrived was epic 🤣
In Thailand it's served wrapped in Wax Paper & the wet ingredients in a bag.
Hot water was a mistake. It was way too soft going into the pan. Also a shame making pad Thai without chai po. 🙁
Morocco seemed actually pissed about them delivering so fast.
Those purple chopsticks...Chris must have a secret side to him that we just aren't let into.
I’m beating Andy. Delivery beat me but I’m beating Andy! Lmao. Delish Chris as always. You guys should do pro chef vs pro chef vs delivery lmao. The TH-camrs pick the food
The delivery was better and it's clear to see
I agree with you. I'd rather eat the delivery version.
Love that you got to speak with Shayne Chammavanijakul BA. Can you include guest speakers in these video descriptions to give them credit as well?
It’s a shame they couldn’t eat the takeout noodles as soon as they arrived
Meanwhile here I made noodles I'm 3 mins haha
Lol was it perhaps...ramen? =p
its just not the same. bon appetit will never capture that lightning again.
Use a fork and spoon would have been the respectful way
Had to scroll way too long to find this comment
As a Thai you can use chopsticks in this dish too
Perhaps, this is the first time that I’ve seen Chris’ thumbnail photo, with a smile...?
Those places have everything prepped already and just have to throw it together to get it out the door. It’s hard to beat some of the deliveries. Especially that type of food. I never wait more than 10 min for any Asian restaurant near me to make and pack up an order I place.
When I order, it almost always comes faster than they say it will
Under promise, over-delivery
Did you make the camera guy mad?
Gotta get this guy a real watch
Ditch that citizen and get a rolex!
Chris won!
No question
The delivery should have been perfect if they came that quick.
Why were there captions for Shayne?? She was speaking fluent English..
It’s hard to tell what she’s saying sometimes because it’s over video chat so the audio quality is not great
Togo order arrives 20 minutes early; Guy who leaves food in container for 20min after having been in transit because he still has to cook his version: "This is a dish where the clock is literally ticking. The second it comes out of the pan or out of the wok, you want to eat it as soon as possible. A great pad thai made and eaten right away, offers so much more... They seem to have certainly gotten the kind of clingy kind of vibe to the noodles, they are kind of breaking apart a little bit, obviously steaming out in the to-go box is not helping anything... I do like the texture of my noodles. They're certainly holding together, they still have some bite to them." :P
Good video, haven’t seen a bon appetite video in my subscription box for so long? Idk what youtube’s doing but 🤔
I haven’t been seeing their videos either.
Delivery come early the ONE time you don’t want it to 😭😂 sounds about right
Not hating on BA, but didn’t Tasty do this too?
I'm not FIRST
BUT
WISH you have a pleasant day 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
all the comments acting like its a secret that restaurant prep beforehand - yes, thats common sense?!
tries to make another cultures food after his employer is called out for racism .....go!
He’s not a chef. He’s a recipe developer. Chefs run kitchens in restaurants.
Is this a Rolex commercial?
when she says not clingy sauce and they write clingy sauce
I do this twice a month except I just wait for the delivery guy...
Wait, but wouldn't the chef at the restaurant be a pro chef?
Who woulda thunk, 30 minutes again.
Way to go Shayne!!!!
I usually put galangal in mine :)
To be fair, the restaurant would already have the sauce ready, a boiling vat of water to dip the noodles/soak them in, the shrimp already cut, and everything else prepped. Once all that is done, Pad Thai is easy to cook.
Love the “fast than delivery” segments!!
Missing the king of flavour - MSG/ chicken powder.
One is stuck playing the impassioned protagonist in one’s Subjective Narrative of Self ⭕️
Delivery is actualy faster, bcs they need to deliver it
Never thought I would see THE Chris Morocco eating with is hands, lol
you're telling me shrimp fried this rice?
I love how Chris honestly evaluates both dishes and doesn't trash the takeout while praising his own dish. He highlights the differences with nuance and impartiality, and maintains a bit of humility to give credit where credit is due to the takeout restaurant, while still giving himself credit for beating the timer. And it's an educational video, too. Good stuff!
I wish my orders of food came that fast. Wtf mine take 45 mins to an hour! Was it right across the street?! Jeez
Anyone else not trust an order that gets delivered too fast?
“You did not have time to make this properly!”
Wish you would do beef lo mein, and egg foo young.
And cream of sum yung guy
After watching Chris I'm always a little overwhelmed with how much I apparently know. 'You know, like, you know." Do I Chris? Do I know?
not even he can replace Her
I'm usually happy when my food arrives earlier than I expected.
Is it bothering anyone else that he's using chopsticks?
I’m Thai and I eat pad Thai with chopsticks lol
Now I want Pad Thai so bad. Time to order takeout.
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 No, it isn't. It's ผัดไทย. Both pad thai and phad thai are valid translations, but pad thai is millions of times more common and what you see on every menu. Another alternative would be pudd thai. But just use pad thai as a normal person.
I love that seiko sport you're wearing chris
What about cleaning up
Nice
In Barry I love it when Henry Winkler is leaving clues around town for his kid and then the son shows up while he's placing the next clue on a parking meter. "What, didja get here in a ROCKET SHIP??"
Love, love, love Chris. Enough about Brad, who’s all over the place. I’m fully aware that this is sacrilegious to all the white dudes watching who identify with him.
The rotoscoping at 8:18 is really good for such a short bit. Nice job editors
U want to only hydrate the noodles by halfway, bc the really wet sauce will rehydrate the noodles to a perfect chewy as u stir fry. Another flavor profile that adds depth is dried shrimp or scallops. My mom food processes it into a powder so she can just sprinkle it in the stir fry process and not have to rehydrate whole ones.
Chris’s noodles were overcooked. The noodles are supposed to be slightly pliable and def undercooked (like card stock texture) bc u want the noodles to soften by absorbing the sauce. Pad Thai isn’t saucy like. It’s supposed to be drier than that.
