Claire: *spends almost no extra money for dough* Brad and Andy: *buys like 20 cans of tomatoes, but is justified* Molly and Carla: So we arrived in Italy last night
The fact that every single one of them said “the dough can smell fear” and made the calzone joke when the pizza failed makes me so happy for some reason
Two of my favourite things so far in this series: 1) Everyone passing on Claire's words like they are ancient prophecy 'the dough senses fear' 2) Everyone struggling to get the pizza on the paddle first time in each episode
Everyone talking about the Italy trip but large shout-out to the cheese lady who managed to remotely lead Molly and Carla to mozz perfection and be extremely positive at the same time.
They have a team of full time editors, producers, cameraman. More than that I'm sure too. That's the difference between most youtube channels and this one.
@@mitchellmiller6180 I think originalboxelder was noting the contrast between this show and food shows that air on TV, not necessarily comparing this channel to other TH-cam channels. I agree with them, this is far more engaging and real to watch rather than the same formula to create content that varies only slightly.
I agree. It’s nice seeing their own personalities come out and them actually having fun cooking and baking and not cracking some dry joke they’ve rehearsed a million times before filming. Some food network and cooking channel people Ive watched on and off for years are still just faces on a screen to me, don’t know a thing about em years later....like a cooking robot haha
I'm guessing the new PH meter was asking too much after a casual weekend getaway for 2 to Italy edit: oh, actually at least 3 people cause camera guy was there too.
Clair: Nearly dies researching pizza dough recipes Brad & Andy: Fight over sauce Carla & Molly: Gets drunk in Italy having conversations if buffalos are cows I love them all btw. I know that a lot of work and resources went into it. All the members of BA kitchen are charming in their own way
@ And still some channels, by people of really questionable cooking skill, get really high views. I really like it when BA and other channels, show how much work and screw ups (and joke about them) a recipe goes through during development.
Right?! 😆 The word they're looking for is Cattle. Buffalo and Cattle are different. All female bovines that have had a calf can be called a cow. Just like whales, elephants, manatees, etc. Heifers have not had a baby. Bulls are males that can inseminate females. Steer have been castrated before reaching maturity. My boyfriend's family are cattle farmers. I pick up some useful info here and there ☺️ I still refuse to have any but I do have free range chickens!
@@emilypresleysee I was about to go on a whole rant on how americans so often confuse species and gender...thanks for doing it in a much more polite way. BTW the same issue sometimes comes up with hens (which refers to female egg layers of many bird species not just chicken).
Neutral, matter of fact voiceover: "go to Italy, dip your hands into boiling water for two days, go back home and get cheese curds from a guy in New Jersey. Call a woman who is a cheese manufacturer and walks you through the entire process multiple times on skype."
Me: I already watched an entire series on alex the french guy learning to make mozzarella. Also me: I don't even like cheese. As in, I sincerely despise it so much that I can hardly touch an unopened package of cheese, without feeling the need to boil my hands and peel off my skin. Now me (50 mins later): I need another episode of this, now, thank you very much!
Editor did a bad job with the definition on screen, though. Proper, most common usage: (properly) An adult female of the species Bos taurus that has calved.
Watching Molly speak the 3 italian words she learned on the plane to everyone in the most American accent ever just gave me life. "Il mio e Molly" "Hello, nice to meet you." Savage.
The possibilities each have to have multiple components that play to the diverse strengths of this team... I was originally thinking mac and cheese or barbecue, but I don't know what Claire would do. The burger might work, I like that idea.
Lol 2,600 people clearly enjoyed this comment and/or thought it was funny and a total of 3 people thought it was “not funny and unoriginal and trying to hard” but also not trying hard enough (???) to make an original comment. Numbers game, baby!
The problems they all have is that they have too little flour on the peel and when getting it onto the peel you need to drag it slightly towards you so the pizza has momentum in the opposite direction of where you slide the peel. If the pizza has the reverse momentum it will not get smushed.
It's so opposite in energy to Andy and Brad who were bickering like an old couple. Haha! I guess that's what a trip to Italy does for your outlook. Both episodes were great though.
This is perhaps the finest thing I've ever watched on youtube. Carla and Molly enjoyed each other's company so purely while they experienced the same roller coaster of emotions. More Making Perfect, please!
I'm no vegan but at least I know that those buffalo have to always be pregnant against their will in order to provide milk, and thats not much of a life. most of them dont live that long. it might look "cute" but it's not really when you think about it. vegan, vegetarian, omnivore - either way, be aware of where your food comes from.
honestly it's a great way to live life though? Like it's not that you inherently can't do the thing, it's just that you need to be willing to change your approach, get back up and try again, then you can do the thing!
They're like those two girls that will find ways to communicate and annoy the heck out of the teacher even if they're at opposite sides of the classroom. 😁
Jessica Juden yea I know that. I’m just saying it’s funny how they are patiently waiting in a line and not nudging each other out of the way like animals.
I'm really impressed with how the cattle in Italy are treated, especially when compared to other compounds throughout the world. They have room to walk, voluntarily submit to being milked, listen to Mozart. The cattle union would be proud.
Oporations like these have hundreds of years of trial and error under their belt and through that process they figured out that happy cows make the best cheese. It's not even animal welfare consideration, they actually make less money when the cows are locked up in the dark.
If someone were to hypothetically be vegan because of animal cruelty and because animals are not able to give consent (which is why human breast milk is technically vegan), would the cheese and milk they are making at this Italian farm technically be vegan if the cows are willingly being milked?
@@shannonroisen435 A lot of people do go vegan because of animal cruelty. But the fact is that the cows on that farm in Italy are bred for milk, and they're still exploited for it, so you can't call that veganism by any means.. For some people, it would be reassuring enough to see how well they're treated there, but that's not the extent of a 'vegan' mindset.
I never thought Carla and Molly would be such an iconic duo. Their dedication, hard work and amazing personalities made it so fun to watch. I'm so proud of them for having almost a million views on a video that is almost an hour long. This is what great content looks like. Kudos to Ba, the test kitchen team and amazing chefs Carla and Molly. ☺️🙌💕
Makes me think how much more we all could accomplish if we all had a coworker that just gets us. In an era of such a heightened focus on individual achievement, it’s fun to see what a symbiotic working relationship looks like. Great work!
@@TophMaGoats A minor correction to that: while I have no idea whether cows and buffalo can interbreed, "beefalo" typically refers to a cow-American bison hybrid (as bison are often misnamed as buffalo)
Zelmel Minor correction to your correction, American Bison are also called American Buffalo. Not incorrectly, just as another name. Check out the etymology of the words.
Morgan Dambergs Feeling a sense of joy because of another’s laughter is reveling in ignorance? That’s a very strange take, though I suppose according to you we should all be flawlessly educated in all matters bovine. Also, good job on being the only negative comment I think I’ve ever seen on a BA video 😂
Molly: *Shows no fear* The Dough: "You have learned well, Young One." Molly: *Fearful of the Mozz* The Dough: "How dare you! It smells so strong that I can taste it!"
Okay like how is everyone at Bon Appétit so wonderful? I mean Claire is still my all time favourite but I'm in love with these two. Like 11:19 I was in tears 😂 Carlas laugh is contagious. Please do more of this "Making Perfect" series.
@@joansmith69 I suspect he oozes it because he knows what he's doing. He' also seems super articulate in being able to explain flavors & how they work together.
Honestly, thank you to the BA test kitchen for RESPECTING pizza and it's origin. You are making the perfect frankenpizza and respecting every aspect of what you were raised with and the origin. THIS is how to create and inspire without ruining it. Someone wanna let olive garden know.
Angela Mazzeo You can still create and inspire by changing it up. Things evolve as time goes on and so do people’s taste buds. I do prefer original Italian pizza to “American” pizza, but I don’t hate America pizza because it’s not AUTHENTIC.
@@profilepicture828 that's exactly what I said. I was thanking them for using origins but also using what they grew up with to create something great. Unlike, Pizza hut where they just add cheese to every possible crevice and call it pizza just because they can. The BA test kitchen respected the entire history and process of making a pizza and that's how you can evolve something while also respecting the origin and not make a mockery of it
BA: makes everyone walk to the store to buy ingredients Also BA: Flies Molly and Carla across the world for their ingredients I guess we know who the favorites are 🤷🏼♀️❤️
I’m so glad I learned English??? All the eng language lessons I used to hate years back, now have finally turned out to be useful because I can watch and enjoy this series. You guys are the best & I’m so grateful tht I can understand what you’re all trying to say. Absolutely adore this series! Keep it up team! 👍🏻👍🏻 I’m hoping to see more korean recipes in your channel in the future btw! ☺️
Claire: Consults dough makers on how to make the best dough Carla & Molly: Consults cheese makers on how to make the best cheese Brad & Andy: Canned tomatoes FTW 😁 lol
@@chuckychuck8318 Hahaha no, but maybe speak with a sauce making company or a pizza chef to walk through how they make their pizza sauce? 😁 lol love them though
@@joannashi technically Andy and Brad did consult pizza chefs about their sauce, but they were so tight-lipped about their saucy secrets that Andy and Brad had to figure it out for themselves.
@@JasonICECarson they literally tried to get stuff our of ppl with anonymous phone calls...while it was funny, thats not consultation in the same way that claire, carla, and molly did it!
This was one of my favorite episodes ever. The convos over wine, the lows, the highs, the tears, the perseverance, and of course, the chaos and laughter!
I almost feel ashamed to admit this, but I literately cried 😢 when Carla & Molly actually succeeded in making the cheese with the online help Skype call. And it’s most special that in the video editing that they show all the trials and failure in their first rounds of attempt in making the cheese. People need to see that sometimes and often failure is in involved in making a dish, recipe or doing a process of even making your own cheese. There is always so much knowledge and lessons you learn from both failure and success. As well loved all the food science in this video process of making the cheese. In the end from the jaws of failure came a great cheese blend!
I followed and loved this entire series. That being said, I absolutely have come back to rewatch this episode probably 8-10 times. I love these ladies individually, and it's simply magical alchemy when they combine their energy. I watch this when I'm stressed or blue
Carla (Generation X): "I'm proud of us for trying. And I'm proud of us for failing." Molly (Millennial): [eye roll that uses her entire face] This is why I love this channel.
"We're making a pizza and need cheese." So of course you have to travel around the planet to get it. Makes total sense. I'm making some hot chocolate; Switzerland, here I come.
Brad and Andy: does sketchy phone calls to find out what kind of tomatoes restaurants use Carla and Molly: flies all the way to Italy to figure out how to make Mozzarella
Carla:"We have not been together to Italy to have great cheese" Molly: "I mean I've got nothing to do this weekend" *Casually Fly to Italy* vs. Me to my friend: "guys we should travel and do something together" My friend: "I mean Im not doing anything this weekend" *Both stay at home on couch and eat delivery pizza*
@@azlan194 of course they want to get rid of their milk. Any woman, that produces breastmilk, will tell you that it gets more uncomfortable (or even painfull) quickly, if the milk is not released within a certain timeframe. Ive read somewhere that cows get milked 3 times a day, so thats a tight time schedule if there is only 1 machine and 20 or 30 cows and each milking procedure takes 10 minutes at least. But of course they have a different milking system in conventional dairy farms.
The trip wasn't wasted. They needed to taste piping hot fresh mozzarella to know what standard to aim for. Armed with this newfound appreciation for fresh mozzarella, they easily rejected all of the first round of the store bought buffalo mozzarella.

At first, I was like "Oh man, lucky them."
But then the 7th hour of cheese making in the BA kitchen came around...
And then they decide to go with the mozzarella they didn't like that much in Italy
dont forget the 5 old parmessano
go hard and go to italy
went to Italy and learned nothing. skyped a lady and learned everything XD
The fact that every single one of them said “the dough can smell fear” and made the calzone joke when the pizza failed makes me so happy for some reason
It's like watching a movie series and they refer to a previous movie lol
I love it too.
OK
Two of my favourite things so far in this series:
1) Everyone passing on Claire's words like they are ancient prophecy 'the dough senses fear'
2) Everyone struggling to get the pizza on the paddle first time in each episode
Scarr originally made the statement, Claire just repeated it.
@@FalseCast not true. She said "we have this saying when making bread" or something
also, the calzone counter :)
Claire’s “prophecy” is now on merch! The one T i wanted but never asked for!
and everyone wants Chris' approval :)
Everyone talking about the Italy trip but large shout-out to the cheese lady who managed to remotely lead Molly and Carla to mozz perfection and be extremely positive at the same time.
The type of cooking coach we all need during this lockdown
It felt like when the 911 operator is helping you deliver the baby on the side of the road when you couldn’t make it to the hospital.
The hero this series needed
Molly and Carla are the inside out emotions happening inside Claire's head in a Gourmet episode

this is actually a natural reflex as the udder swells with the weight

@@victoriarotramel2274 Still its nice that they're living a better life than most cow farms in America
Italians take their products and consumers seriously. Such craftsmanship.
If someone were to hypothetically be vegan because of animal cruelty and because animals are not able to give consent (which is why human breast milk is technically vegan), would the cheese and milk they are making at this Italian farm technically be vegan if the cows are willingly being milked?
@@shannonroisen435 A lot of people do go vegan because of animal cruelty. But the fact is that the cows on that farm in Italy are bred for milk, and they're still exploited for it, so you can't call that veganism by any means.. For some people, it would be reassuring enough to see how well they're treated there, but that's not the extent of a 'vegan' mindset.
OMG can you imagine if Claire had the job of the cheese! Her reaction to finding out you have to temper the curd🤣🤣🤣🤣
Joseph McCarthy she’d be so mad lmao
This comment is gold. Hahahahaha
Yall cant deny this is like the office or parks and rec but kitchen workplace
They should definitely add in solo interviews
YES! THE AUDIENCE DEMANDS CONFESSIONALS
oMG THAT’S WHY IT’S SO GOOD OMG THIS IS A REVELATION FOR ME
Oh you just changed my life with this
Claire - Leslie
Molly - Ann
Brad - Andy
Andy - April
Chris - Ben
Carla - Donna
Change my mind.
carla : **mentions starter culture**
brad : **magically appears**
i guess we know how to summon brad now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Petition for EVERY Bon Appetit vídeo to be 50 minutes or longer
Especially Its Alive, there is no such thing as too much Brad
@ He did go to Italy, check out the Olive oil ep
@ SEND 'EM TO THE RANCH
I’m here for it.
i second the motion
I never thought Carla and Molly would be such an iconic duo. Their dedication, hard work and amazing personalities made it so fun to watch. I'm so proud of them for having almost a million views on a video that is almost an hour long. This is what great content looks like. Kudos to Ba, the test kitchen team and amazing chefs Carla and Molly. ☺️🙌💕
Claire: so basically we were tempering the curds

*"UH-HUH" "MMHM"*
Big fan of these comedic editing opportunities
44:54 is a great moment too
Makes me think how much more we all could accomplish if we all had a coworker that just gets us. In an era of such a heightened focus on individual achievement, it’s fun to see what a symbiotic working relationship looks like. Great work!
Seriously! I'm envious of their workplace dynamic.
This whole channel disproves the adage "Too many cooks..."
Cow-worker lol
Sorry. I'm out of pills today
The amount of calzones and “the dough senses fear” is astonishing HAHAHAHAHA
Carla absolutely losing it over ‘cow’ vs. ‘buffalo’ is why I am happy this morning.
tealeaf Fun fact. Cows and buffalo can interbreed. The hybrids are known as Beefalo.
@@TophMaGoats A minor correction to that: while I have no idea whether cows and buffalo can interbreed, "beefalo" typically refers to a cow-American bison hybrid (as bison are often misnamed as buffalo)
tealeaf Meanwhile, non-USians find your joy over your own ignorance as frustrating and disturbing as usual. 🙄
Zelmel Minor correction to your correction, American Bison are also called American Buffalo. Not incorrectly, just as another name. Check out the etymology of the words.
Morgan Dambergs Feeling a sense of joy because of another’s laughter is reveling in ignorance? That’s a very strange take, though I suppose according to you we should all be flawlessly educated in all matters bovine. Also, good job on being the only negative comment I think I’ve ever seen on a BA video 😂
Molly: *Shows no fear*
The Dough: "You have learned well, Young One."
Molly: *Fearful of the Mozz*
The Dough: "How dare you! It smells so strong that I can taste it!"
Okay like how is everyone at Bon Appétit so wonderful? I mean Claire is still my all time favourite but I'm in love with these two. Like 11:19 I was in tears 😂 Carlas laugh is contagious. Please do more of this "Making Perfect" series.
They’re the best together 😂😂
Hell yea team Claire.
@@MsLilyPickles Right? They all have a great chemistry together
The table scene discussing cows vs buffalos might be the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Thank you. I needed that to start my day! Hilarious!
Carla: "Maybe we're breaking some culinary sin... right now."
Molly: *Shrugs while on phone* "I... don't care."
WHAT A MOOD
Alternate title: Molly and Carla spend a day in Claire’s life
Oh they wouldn't send Claire to Italy hahahahahah
I love how Chris is the main guy to give his good critique and be taking seriously unlike the rest of the gang.
i know right they were like "we even got Morocco's approval? we're good" haha
Except Brad, if he speaks they all listen 😂
Brad n Andy: "So, okay...tomatoes."
Molly n Carla: *earn PhDs*
Everyone sought after Chri's approval in every single episode. And now, the Cheez Queenz finally got a "well done" from him, they truly earned it!
what a group! Cheez Queenz and Sauce Boys
Chris - final arbiter of taste at BA.
I actually think this all would have gone smoother if it were just a Chris Morocco project.
@@recoil53 Chris just oozes that "knows what he's doing" vibe and I love it.
@@joansmith69 I suspect he oozes it because he knows what he's doing. He' also seems super articulate in being able to explain flavors & how they work together.
Chris’ palette is incredible
“We weren’t wrong, just everything we were doing”. That’s going on my tombstone.
Carla and Molly's personalities mesh together so well. Their chemistry is amazing
They are a couple
Kristian Orna *w’e’l’l
Their PH level really works
Honestly, thank you to the BA test kitchen for RESPECTING pizza and it's origin. You are making the perfect frankenpizza and respecting every aspect of what you were raised with and the origin. THIS is how to create and inspire without ruining it.
Someone wanna let olive garden know.
Angela Mazzeo You can still create and inspire by changing it up. Things evolve as time goes on and so do people’s taste buds. I do prefer original Italian pizza to “American” pizza, but I don’t hate America pizza because it’s not AUTHENTIC.
@@profilepicture828 that's exactly what I said. I was thanking them for using origins but also using what they grew up with to create something great. Unlike, Pizza hut where they just add cheese to every possible crevice and call it pizza just because they can. The BA test kitchen respected the entire history and process of making a pizza and that's how you can evolve something while also respecting the origin and not make a mockery of it
Lmao
Molly: I have an idea!
Carla and Molly in unison: Calzone!
*Ben Wyatt has entered the chat*
V B low moisture mozzarella??? I have a better idea! A little place I like to call “low cal zone zone”
Highway to the calzone zone!
V B the calzones... betrayed me?
When Molly says “this much salt” in shock... Molly you changed 🤣😅
*Claire’s voice* so this is how you make the perfect pizza: 1) go to Italy...
Hahhahahhahahahahahaha I'm dying
That farm was really good , the buffalos were happy and everything was humane
Hsagsevshis Beatevfcox :,)
yeah especially the male buffalo that get to sneak into that milking machine amirite?? ;)
Hsagsevshis Beatevfcox I’m sure the babies that were taken away from their moms and the milk they make for them thought that too -_-
I thought that a bit too. No overcrowding, they enjoyed each other's company, and understood their little routine
Roxixane456 nah, they have become delicious veal dishes!❤️😂
I snorted when they were drunkenly talking about cows and buffalos THIS IS AMAZING GIVE US MORE CONTENT
Absolutely chortling! Can't get enough.
Carla and Molly: go to Italy for no reason
Carla and Molly: don't buy a working pH instrument
BA: makes everyone walk to the store to buy ingredients
Also BA: Flies Molly and Carla across the world for their ingredients
I guess we know who the favorites are 🤷🏼♀️❤️
Autumn Marie Carla is the Food Manager of BA
They are both pratically bosses
Gotta increase that carbon footprint to make them TH-cam bucks.
Seriously tho!
@@durenatu carla is a manger but isn't the ginger just an employee?
I’m so glad I learned English??? All the eng language lessons I used to hate years back, now have finally turned out to be useful because I can watch and enjoy this series. You guys are the best & I’m so grateful tht I can understand what you’re all trying to say. Absolutely adore this series! Keep it up team! 👍🏻👍🏻
I’m hoping to see more korean recipes in your channel in the future btw! ☺️
Ethan Park You are awesome!
Yeah English is so useful as a universal language. Good job!
You speak korean?
They should make really great Mul naengmyeon! Using all fresh homemade ingredients!
isaiah munden yup! It’s my native tongue, I only learned English when my parents sent me to the states
Claire: Consults dough makers on how to make the best dough
Carla & Molly: Consults cheese makers on how to make the best cheese
Brad & Andy: Canned tomatoes FTW 😁 lol
What ? Did you want them to make tomatoes ? 😂😂
Chucky chuck right yes build a garden and plant the seeds...😂
@@chuckychuck8318 Hahaha no, but maybe speak with a sauce making company or a pizza chef to walk through how they make their pizza sauce? 😁 lol love them though
@@joannashi technically Andy and Brad did consult pizza chefs about their sauce, but they were so tight-lipped about their saucy secrets that Andy and Brad had to figure it out for themselves.
@@JasonICECarson they literally tried to get stuff our of ppl with anonymous phone calls...while it was funny, thats not consultation in the same way that claire, carla, and molly did it!
This was one of my favorite episodes ever. The convos over wine, the lows, the highs, the tears, the perseverance, and of course, the chaos and laughter!
I almost feel ashamed to admit this, but I literately cried 😢 when Carla & Molly actually succeeded in making the cheese with the online help Skype call. And it’s most special that in the video editing that they show all the trials and failure in their first rounds of attempt in making the cheese. People need to see that sometimes and often failure is in involved in making a dish, recipe or doing a process of even making your own cheese. There is always so much knowledge and lessons you learn from both failure and success. As well loved all the food science in this video process of making the cheese. In the end from the jaws of failure came a great cheese blend!
Wait, they really went to Italy? On a whim?
10/10
They were doing some very serious, arduous work.
Plus wine.
In Italy.
I'm pretty sure that it was all planned from the beginning. Videos this big and extensive require a lot of planning, scheduling, and budgeting.
In the first video where they are throwing out ideas, Italy is on a post it and so is passport. Haha
Not on a whim, on a plane.
They were like “I have nothing to do this weekend” 🤣
One of my favorite parts of this series is seeing everyone's different struggles of getting the pizza on and off the board.
I followed and loved this entire series. That being said, I absolutely have come back to rewatch this episode probably 8-10 times. I love these ladies individually, and it's simply magical alchemy when they combine their energy. I watch this when I'm stressed or blue
Carla (Generation X): "I'm proud of us for trying. And I'm proud of us for failing."
Molly (Millennial): [eye roll that uses her entire face]
This is why I love this channel.
Reference: 30:13
Holy snap, 50 minutes? I can't wait to watch this installment.
4:06 Andy having PTSD from his last encounter with getting the pizza dough in the oven
i love carla and molly together. the positive female energy and bonding is so sweet.
Vocal fry and acting like they just dummied a bottle of wine each?
i cackled when chris was like "...i heard you *screaming* about the blend!" 😂 mols just gets excited it's why she's great.
The delirium with the hybrid blend is hilarious. I love this series
Everyone gets to travel internationally except for Claire. Not mad at them, I just think Claire deserves a work trip.
Rebecca Free she does
Claire can't travel, she gets sick like every other day
She finally got a trip
@@jopiagalis where?
@@gabe6475 Colorado.
"We're making a pizza and need cheese." So of course you have to travel around the planet to get it. Makes total sense. I'm making some hot chocolate; Switzerland, here I come.
Hey, go hard. No shame
*when you realize it’s 12 am and you just spent **50:39** watching someone make cheese*
Edit: it hasn’t even been a full day and I have 1k likes .-.
Chelsea Chin and eat all the pizza I want to eat
Chelsea Chin hun, I’m in that exact situation rn
Literally me
It’s 2 am and i just realized I’ve spent nearly an hr watching this when i should be asleep lol
No regrets
Brad and Andy: does sketchy phone calls to find out what kind of tomatoes restaurants use
Carla and Molly: flies all the way to Italy to figure out how to make Mozzarella
naah more like fly to italy for the lack of anything better to do
Sooo... I'm going to need more videos with Molly and Carla. It's important
This has been one of the best videos so far. It has it all: meltdowns, glory, trips, recipe testing. Loved the energy between the two.
If Claire doesn’t get to go to every country in the world next episode I’m rioting.
JUSTICE FOR CLAIRE
I'm watching every single ad if that means Claire gets to travel overseas 😤😤
FREE CLAIRE SAFFITZ
Everyone should get to go! They’re all awesome!
Please end the series with everyone in Italy!
Carla:"We have not been together to Italy to have great cheese"
Molly: "I mean I've got nothing to do this weekend"
*Casually Fly to Italy*
vs.
Me to my friend: "guys we should travel and do something together"
My friend: "I mean Im not doing anything this weekend"
*Both stay at home on couch and eat delivery pizza*
See, Carla and Molly have BA Test Kitchen money AND they could write off their expenses as a "business" on their taxes
Why go to italy when italy can go to you? 😂
Can we talk about how the buffalos are queuing up to go into the milking machine
I'm imagining just one male queuing up, looking at the camera, and giving the buffalo version of an eyebrow waggle.
I'm so sorry.
I read somewhere that they actually want to get rid of their milk, as holding on too much of them can be uncomfortable to them. I could be wrong.
@@azlan194 of course they want to get rid of their milk. Any woman, that produces breastmilk, will tell you that it gets more uncomfortable (or even painfull) quickly, if the milk is not released within a certain timeframe. Ive read somewhere that cows get milked 3 times a day, so thats a tight time schedule if there is only 1 machine and 20 or 30 cows and each milking procedure takes 10 minutes at least. But of course they have a different milking system in conventional dairy farms.
@@emiliana1767 I like how you compared yourself to a cow ;)
16:05 Rumbly in my tumbly!! That's one of my favorite phrases!!
Their drunk conversation about buffalo cows at 11:14 was definitely my favorite part of this episode, they just had me roaring with laughter 😆
So... they went to Italy just to end up asking a guy from New Jersey over the phone? Lol!!! Love this channel!
And spent a day on that when that woman solved all their problems over skype
They didn't get the answers they needed from NJ either.
It's about the journey, not the destination!
But they used their cheese experience in Italy as a reference to what they were looking for in flavor
The trip wasn't wasted. They needed to taste piping hot fresh mozzarella to know what standard to aim for. Armed with this newfound appreciation for fresh mozzarella, they easily rejected all of the first round of the store bought buffalo mozzarella.
They drank like a WHOLE bottle of wine during that cow v buffalo debate
