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
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
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
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
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.
@ 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.
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
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).
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.
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.
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.
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."
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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. 😁
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!"
@@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 😂
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!
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! ☺️
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!
@@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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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 🤷🏼♀️❤️
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
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.
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.
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*

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 :)
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
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
I forget this is a TH-cam channel. The quality is top notch and much more engaging than some formulaic food network show.
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.

Hands down best comment!
BA has just hit a homerun with this series.
yup run home and never come back
This collaborative format is a winner yes
@@armfish117 I really hope that they do this again with another food!
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
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
I love how tutorial videos from a cooking magazine has turned into a lovely set of cooks we want to see working together
I am so grateful for BA.
Wait, it's a cooking magazine? I thought it was just this channel! Haha
Youssef El Amrani-Sebti yes, Bon Appetit is a food magazine!
I was saying before it's like the MTV vj's from the 80s.
@ 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.

There's a real iron throne thing going on here. Shout out to Claire for actually doing science.
Cows and buffalo can interbreed. The hybrids are known as Beefalo.
i like how you called brad a brat hahahhah
@@heyjude8258 edited, thanks hehe
So true! 😂
The whole conversation in the restaurant, sounded like they were on the 4th bottle of wine.
sounded like me and my friends without any alcohol involved lol
Carla's hysterical laughing after Molly slowly said "are buffalos.... cows??" definitely supports that theory
i had to go back and rewatch that bc i was laughing so hard
They were definitely buzzed.
@@brandonm7344- I think the correct word is "tipsy".
They fleeced BA for an Italian wine trip. Have to respect the game
i know right! Claire needs to get on this level of aggressive
"Fleeced"" 🤣 The coincidence of using fleeced on a (goat) cheese episode.
Them drunk bickering about the cows and buffalos is the best thing over
When I tell you how many times I watched that part, BRO. The greatest part
I feel like that was Molly's "chicken of the sea" moment
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.

@@TophMaGoats it's sad because it's true
I love how the buffalo know when they need milked and patiently wait in line like there waiting at the bank to get into the machine.
this is actually a natural reflex as the udder swells with the weight
They will get uncomfortable if they aren’t milked regularly

@@epiccollision when I tried that the dough ended up staying with the peel and all of my toppings plopped off into the fire... pizza is an art
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.
OMG can you imagine if Claire had the job of the cheese! Her reaction to finding out you have to temper the curd🤣🤣🤣🤣

The amount of calzones and “the dough senses fear” is astonishing HAHAHAHAHA
carla : **mentions starter culture**
brad : **magically appears**
i guess we know how to summon brad now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Figuring out cheese)
“So I’ve had great cheese in Italy”
“Hey, I have no plans this weekend” *FREAKING GOES TO ITALY FOR THE WEEKEND*
Brianna Dubeck that’s the dream right there
I went to Paris last summer
They're from New York so tickets to Europe are pretty reasonable.
AlibifortheAfterlife also they can put it as work expenses 😂
@@huesitaa97 That too
I love when Molly and Carla hit that so-exhausted-everything-is-fkn-hilarious moment with their "fior di bufala" moment
yup the strokes of utter incompetence / stupidity in this video are numerous
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. 😁
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
"uh-huh" "mmhm"
"UH-HUH" "MMHM"
*"UH-HUH" "MMHM"*
Big fan of these comedic editing opportunities
44:54 is a great moment too
Claire: so basically we were tempering the curds
*Chris has entered the chat*
Claire has left the chat
Lmao
*Chris has entered the chat*
David Jatak *Carla
Came into the comments section looking for this.
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!
Molly, when Carla says "It never oc-curd to me", the correct response is "No whey!" 26:42
That would be too cheesy.
jack76787 you just-
wow u can think of a pun after the fact ur so funny!
Along came a spider who sat down beside her And frightened Miss Muffet away.
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!"
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 😂
"It wasn't us…it was just everything we were doing."
Get it on a t-shirt
I think there's a 'DO IT!!!' meme that should be here
I would buy that
I'd buy that
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!
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 😂
“We weren’t wrong, just everything we were doing”. That’s going on my tombstone.
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?
Carla: "Maybe we're breaking some culinary sin... right now."
Molly: *Shrugs while on phone* "I... don't care."
WHAT A MOOD
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
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!
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
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
Holy snap, 50 minutes? I can't wait to watch this installment.
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?
One of my favorite parts of this series is seeing everyone's different struggles of getting the pizza on and off the board.
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” 🤣
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!❤️😂
Alternate title: Molly and Carla spend a day in Claire’s life
Oh they wouldn't send Claire to Italy hahahahahah
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!
This video has the same healing energy as "Brad and Claire Make Sourdough" thank you bon appetit i am GLOWING
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!
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
Brad n Andy: "So, okay...tomatoes."
Molly n Carla: *earn PhDs*
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?
Omg. The buffalo waiting in line for the brush machine ❤️.
It was honestly adorable and this is coming from someone who'd run for hill from just the sight of a cow.
I adored everything about that farm !! They look so pampered
happy cows, happy milk
When Molly says “this much salt” in shock... Molly you changed 🤣😅
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
I snorted when they were drunkenly talking about cows and buffalos THIS IS AMAZING GIVE US MORE CONTENT
Absolutely chortling! Can't get enough.
The delirium with the hybrid blend is hilarious. I love this series
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.
God, this series is giving me so much life. I wanna be friends with the whole BA team.
you really don't have a life
@@jomangeee Don't know about Seek & Wander but you must not have much of one if you are being petty on TH-cam...
@@YingofDarkness lol look who is talking
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
*Claire’s voice* so this is how you make the perfect pizza: 1) go to Italy...
Hahhahahhahahahahahaha I'm dying
Carla and Molly: go to Italy for no reason
Carla and Molly: don't buy a working pH instrument
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!
The way Molly shortens her words makes me so happy everytime. Parm, Buff, Mozz
You forgot Margherita mom 18:39
Pep
Sooo... I'm going to need more videos with Molly and Carla. It's important
"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
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.
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.
We need more videos of the BA crew getting drunk
Holy moly can we get a drunk cooking series from BA?
Yesssss and they should call it “Drunky Drunk Cooking”
may i direct your attention towards a series with the same premise created by hanna hart
I NEED THIS SERIES!!!!
They wud never do that
We need the "Back to Back" chef series except this time with Carla being absolutely hammered
huge fan of molly abbreviating the word "moment"
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? 😂
i cackled when chris was like "...i heard you *screaming* about the blend!" 😂 mols just gets excited it's why she's great.
I'm absolutely in love with how those buffalo are taken care of.
I. Like how they go into the machine by themselves
