DeAndre Jordan Tries to Keep Up with a Professional Chef | Back-to-Back Chef | Bon Appétit
When he sees that the cream doesn’t tip over - that was everything
8:08
So good.
He was like a little kid. It was so sweet.
He was so tentative and then his mind was blown
I love how he always asks "the whole thing?" after he's dumped it all in
Was just going to comment this!! 🤣 He says, "All of it?" lol so cute.
Jaja I was going to comment about this
dj is a teddy bear comedian
I love how you said l love how someone do something.
Ayee I notice that lil Zimri custom icon!! What's up Kelsick?
“Can I accidentally put some on my thumb?”
Why is is so adorable? 😩
Camille Robinson i swear he is all big and strong on the court but here im like aweee
guy named 'is': 😍
Coz it’s super adorable!

“Is it good chef etiquette to smell it?”
Chris Morocco has entered the chat
LMAOOO I thought the same
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m fairly certain my coworkers just heard me laughing. It was worth it.
LMBO
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
this man is literally 2 carla’s tall
Lmao
forget the metric and imperial system. we need this new system of measurement
And 3 Gaby's.
😂😂😂😂
and shes on heels
“My pinch is different than your pinch”
His nervous energy is adorable
Imagine how chaotic this show would be if brad’s the one giving instructions
Guest: Ok what are the precise instructions?
Brad: Ay y'know, make it real nicey nice.
Lmao we need a cross over immediately
@@videoguy640 Just have Brad giving instructions to Carla lol
@@videoguy640 ouu what if they did a crossover-special? each would be swapping with another for just one episode. like say Brad does back to back, so Carla takes Chris' spot, etc. It would be really fun *sigh*
@@ipek6677 that's a dope idea!
I didnt realise how huge deandre actually is until I saw him holding the flour bowl with one hand and Carla cradling the same bowl with her arm
i also think carla is just very petite and short. they are both are just at dramatic ends of the spectrum lol
he held the banana and it looked hilariously small
Felt this way about the spatula.
Felt this way with the salt pinch! If he DIDN'T use his ring finger, it would be a full on Tbs
and deandre is 6’11” sooooo
The pinky salt bit was the cutest stuff I’ve ever seen.
*Deandre:* "Is it good chef etiquette to smell the food?"
*Chris Morocco:* _well_
I love when athletes do this because you can see how coachable they are. Actors just try to be quirky and fun, but athletes are such better listeners.
athletes always take better direction. That's why they always win Dancing with the Stars.
I legitimately didn't think about this, but it makes perfect sense.
Fancy seeing my favorite country music reviewer on a Bon Appetit video
I liked Nina Dobrev being just a little bit of a clown, but not too much.
Hailee was just lost and Carla didn't account for that. Some of the other actors also don't cook and try and cover that up a bit. Part of it is perspective - comedians and actors are personalities that want people to be entertained. Athletes need to execute.
Great assessment!
This was so soothing. Also petition for a guest spot where DeAndre Jordan learns to cook vegan dishes.
YES This needs to happen. Claire would lose her spot as the most popular show on the channel...
@@ellaschultz4241 Long live brad
YES!!
Yesss!!
Charyse Diaz yes! We need a vegan on bon appetit!! 💗🌱
Carla doesn’t get enough cred for her sassy aunt style charisma
That is the best description of Carla’s personality that I have ever heard
Ugh true I love her so much 😂
She's a bawse! :)
For real! I strive to have that energy. Her son's name is Cosmo so she is pretty amazing ❤
I love how funny she is and i found it really funny how she was not like flirty or such but was like low key saying "i think you are gorgeous" hahahahahahah
He is the first person who really follows the commands.
Probably has to do with having to listen to his coach all the time.
Gene * flashbacks to potato peels in water *
Micheala W 🤣
Straun Browman was pretty good too
u
i came here to watch Carla *cook* with DeAndre Jordan not to *fall in love* with DeAndre Jordan. The purest definition of gentle giant.
You would love the one with the WWE wrestler
softnsad if you watch him in lob city you’d know he’s not that
except on the court when he goes beast mode
He's cute though
“like the cake that mrs trunchbull made the kid eat” i love a man with culture and taste
Poor Bruce bogtrotter
matilda right
in Spanish TRONCHATORO 🤣
BRUCE BRUCE BRUCE!!!
cami I legit thought her name was tronchatoro. Sounds better to me 😂
Was not expecting to catch feelings for deandre jordan today
S O U R Same only not a sports person so was both introduced to him and fell for him inside half an hour.
😂😂😂
rt
_On today's agenda is..._
1. Catch feelings for DeAndre Jordom
Lol same i didnt think i'd like this episode as much as i did
Carla: “pour the liquid in the mixer” Deandre: “so the bowl with the banana and fork”
I laughed so hard at that omg
He got confused because Carla said the mixer on his left, but she meant his right side.
At least he's clarifying and being careful. This is therapy after the embarrassment that was Ninja
it kind of is a very old school mixer :p
Tessa De Vocht how lol
Thing I learned today: DeAndre Jordan is kind of adorable.
It’s jarring when a man that tall is so adorable. Makes me want to just cuddle his leg; he probably wouldn’t even notice
Hella adorable
100% agree!!
Chris Richard kind of? He’s so cute
He's so gentle with everything
My actual favorite guest and I don’t even know who he is
Agreed! He's funny and seems into it. Love that!
Just for context. He's a professional basketball player
ha! same!
Sameeee lol
same!! literally have no idea what he does
i like how he tested the sugar to see if it was actually sugar before dumping it in XD
he might be inexperienced, but there's some common sense right there hahaaa
I'VE BEEN LAUGHING AT IT FOR 10 MINUTES. HE IS SO PRECIOUS!
well he knows it could be salt.. very logical, would have done the same thing
He's so tall yet I have the urge of calling him a smol soft bean.
He seems like a sweetheart
@DaFuzzBearYT not anymore
This is the best comment I’ve ever seen in my life
Tol soft bean
hes wearing pastel blue sneakers i get it too 😂
The whole Bon Appétit fandom just fell in love with DeAndre Jordan
HOW IS HE SUCH AN ADORABLE HUMAN???!?? Fo real, favorite guest yet
Yes, yes I did.
I concur
I did ;; I even googled him, he's adorable ;;
Literally looked him up on IG as I was watching bc he's adorable lol
I love how his hands make it look like they're holding completely different sized bowls
same with the spatula. when she said grab the small black spatula, i was like "yeah thats definitely the small spatula when hes holding it" lol
He's probably the most competent cook of this series, didn't do anything wrong, didn't panic, didn't mess about.
It also helps that the recipe was not that complex when compared to others on the show
Nina Dobrev did pretty well too and she was cute af doing it
Senna Augustus
Miz Cracker did quite well too!
And TASTED everything before putting it in!
Michael Shannon was probably the best one. I feel like he could have made the recipe without any direction at all.
I really thought his spatula was smaller than Carlas turns out he's actually just got huge hands
Saamee that was kinda funny😂😍
When he picked up the bowl to whisk the flour the bowl looked SOOOO TINY compared to Carla’s 😂
when he did the pinches I was like "how can he put so much salt between his fingers???"
“I’ll just do a pinky pinch” - proceeds to sprinkle salt for a good 5 seconds😂😂
@SUBSCRIBO he's averaged almost 11 boards and 10 points a game for his entire career. He's led the league in rebounds 2x, 3x all NBA teams, 2x all NBA defensive 1st teams, and has been an all star. That's a very solid career, definitely not a bum
When he squats to flip the pancakes 😂 How adorable is this guy?
Is nobody talking about how clean our boy kept his station?! ❤️
Pamela England I know! I thought it was so awesome that he’d tidy and put things he was done with off to the side. So adorable ❤️🥰
Yaasssss was scrolling through the comments section for this
LITERALLY WHAT I SAID 😂😂😂
Yeeees they usually drive me nuts!😅
Same to the wrestler guy. They're like the only guests that kept their station tidy.
“okay.. you’re bragging first of all” 😂😂😂
Adorable!
I love that he referenced Matilda without being prompted to.
Amanda Heywood at what point of the video did that happen? Sorry i haven’t watched matilda yet so i don’t know
@@mr.magnolia 13:50
Json Elises Matilda is such an amazing classic you should definitely watch it! The Matilda part was when he referenced the cake a character named Trunchbull made
@@bambi7563 Cookie made the cake, Trunchbull made the kid eat it!!
DeAndre: *holds bowl tilted in hand*
Carla: HAS TO HOLD THE BOWL LIKE A BABY
Right, like his one hand was the size of the whole bowl. Carla has to wedge the bowl against her body to keep it stable.
20:19 *spills drink* “It’s so good even the ground wants some”
I’m stealing that line
Jonathan Lim lmaoooo when did he say that???
Alejandra Pereyra @20:19
@@MariaTroll100 22:23 actually
"Okay.. you're bragging... first of all"
Please invite DeAndre Jordan back!
I like how serious he is about it. Like he is really learning and so sweet about it.
Yeah, he isn't just on a press junket.
A guy who made $140M doesn't need to know how to cook, but he wants to get it right.
Athlete mentality!
Yeah, he's adorable.
“Like the cake Ms. Trunchbull made the kid eat” 💀
Have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised that DeAndre Jordan is a Matilda fan.
@@xerxesau1308 he was Ms. Trunchbull for last Halloween
Came to the comments to find this quote
@@thisiswilson Why did I read that in the lady's voice??🥴🥴😂💀
😆😆😆
When she said “throw caution to the wind” his face was absolutely priceless
Not a basketball fan, but this guy's charming. The wide shots are hilarious, especially because you can see that Carla's wearing heels. Also, this looks like a good vegan dish!
It's funny how when they're on DeAndre's camera, Carla is totally hidden behind him.
This is such a wholesome comment, very good guest indeed.
@@heysaucemikehere1804 Thanks for your reply. I'm a BA fan, but these vids are some of my favorites. I'm a teacher and hope that I can bring a little Carla into my classroom.
The "little Carla" was unintended.
erictwhitman Oh that would be amazing! I hope you can do that too!
Carla: "like a teaspoon of vanilla"
DeAndre: *pours a ton and looks at the camera*
funniest episode by far
My favorite part. 😂
he should've done a pinky teaspoon!
Carla: "Just a teaspoon of vanilla"
Deandre: *PROCEEDS TO POUR AN OUNCE IN THE BOWL WHILST MAINTAINING DIRECT EYE CONTACT WITH THE CAMERA*
CINNAMON ROLL Eugene Lee Yang has entered the chat
When he realizes he did the thing with the ‘whipped cream’ is so adorable
AmyrooRNwiththeRNY F so innocent and childlike for being so big. Fave part
“With gentle force” - his cooking style and I’m here for it!
For someone whos only cooked three times in their kitchen, man did really well. He knows how to follow instructions blindly!
I’m sure that comes with the territory of being coached for a living
Shane did you drop it?
When he asked her "how is it? Is it too spicy? Is it good? " all concerned 😂he's so wholesome
cutest "little" guy
You’ve clearly never seen him kill Brandon Knight
He's so nice and tried so hard and was like "how did I do? Is it too spicy?"
He should be on Back-to-Back Chef. Bless him.
He low-key wanted to eat his own food at the end, but had to eat Carla's.
Haha yes! I think he really wanted his Bloody Mary
I’ve noticed that with a lot of the other guests too lol
"but it miiiine!" Vibes
He probably wanted to try it and see what it tastes like.
Because he was also waiting for Carla to try his and give him feedback.
Everyone's talking about how he's tall and I'm just thinking about how big time Bon Appetit is now to get DeAndre Jordan on the show.
My first thoughts exactly! Congrats for BA! IWDFCFTBATK
@Black Jesus Send Carla to Boston for a Back-to-Back Chef on the road.
Had to look him up (im not an american though)
They’ve been a major magazine since the 50s
considering Natalie portman was on the show a while ago and she's one of the biggest stars I know, so nah
This man is so tall we can see the camera equipment
Yanasoo Sibarah 😂😂 I didn’t even notice
He's 6'11
Yanasoo Sibarah is funny
at first I thought "where are they?" and the I realized is just the test kitchen but they had to film more of it to fit him in
Oh my gosh this is wholesome af. He really is trying SO hard to follow all her instructions and do everything right. This is adorable and I want him to come back lol
Okay but when is the "Teaching DeAndre to Cook" series starting?
Need this
Almost wants to know.. Interesting..
What u mean? He is a pro player not a bum. Put respect on his name
*Nothing but net with that Matilda reference!*
Invite Deandre back please he’s such a gem.
Put him on its alive with Brad 😂😂😂
“ You said grab the knife? “
“ No “
She had the cutest laugh
the way he's stacking the used bowls to the side. he's so adorable!
Sorry I’m not a sports person and didn’t know who DeAndre Jordan was before this video started. But now so grateful to Back to Back producers for finally finding someone who didn’t think their job on a COOKING SHOW was to be “funny” and sassy, pitching out stupid one-liners. Instead, Mr. Jordan was wonderfully focused, warm, gently humorous, in sync, interested, impressed with the knowledge he was gaining, I could go on. Great guest. Hope to see him again. And I’m a carnivore! 😃
Agree with you 100%. Except about the carnivore part. It's more accurate to say omnivore ;)
Tinb A That’s true as I do like carbs. I should have said “I’m an omnivore who tries to avoid most veggies.” 😄
Tinb A As a carnivore i don’t like to eat my food’s food.
You can tell someone raised this dude right. Comes across as a good human.
Well said Delphi. We need a part 2
what a humble prince i love him i smiled the whole episode
"I bet you're using a lot of coconut oil--"
"Yeah"
"--in your cooking"
"Well, uh, yeah"
😂😂😂
I think he was thinking that he wasn't the one normally cooking, and then just went with it
Edibles
I assume it's because he's black and we love using coconut oil for skin and hair care 🖤🧔🏾🥥
@@kaileymo Exactly! Lol
Hes so polite 😂...: how he said goodluck at the beginning of the cookoff
I love him and his bright blue shoes with flowers, his Matilda references, his oopsie look when he drops the banana, and his smile
I want him to start a vegan series here on BA
He spends too much time travelling to make it a regular series
This show makes me realize how much easier cooking would be if there was a little elf measuring and cleaning everything
You can do that too though! It's a French culinary term called Mise en place.
Just get a set of small glass bowls online and then preweigh/measure/cut everything up and all you gotta do is throw things together in order
@@chairofthebored yeah but the mise en place and cleaning are the not fun part of cooking so if some "elf" did that, I'dattempt to cook way more complicated dishes too
Or underpaid intern in this case lol
Where can I find such an elf? I'm pretty decent at the cooking just not the cleaning.
well I have such a good movie for you! Except it's a rat not an elf😂
When he told her 'good luck' as if he wasn't the one going in completely blind was adorable.
He made a joke and you missed it.
I love that he actually tasted the sugar to confirm its sugar before pouring it in! What a great video
When Carla disappears it’s because Deandre hired her as his chef.
Dude probably just picked her up and put her in his pocket.
Jgallub 😳😳😳😳😳😳
i love how his first thought was "the cake that mrs. trunchbull made the kid eat" he's so innocent and sweet🥺🥺
He looks so excited during the whole cooking process, it was adorable
This was the best back-to-back chef episode so far, DeAndre was so enthusiastic and funny!
It does help when it seems they actually want to learn the recipe 😂
1:28 y'all paying attention to Carla but I'm like "is that Rick wearing a cape?"
wtf he's so tall and so sweet
Alex Powell and fine😍
Alex Powell Jtfo tall men still have hearts 😂
Tall people are the best people (usually) lol
Holly Long my ex boyfriend was 6'10. The most gentle person I've ever met once you got to know the real him. Found myself being super aggressive and over protective of him Bc I knew it hurt him when ppl made tall people jokes/comments. They're simply people. They love, hurt, cry and laugh the same way we do.
By your logic:
Tall = mean
Small = nice
Why does height correlate to how nice somebody is?
i had no idea how much of a sweet wholesome dude deandre was
Not gonna lie, DeAndre's plate looks like he was the one leading the charge LMAO
He’s funny too lmao
“Grab the bowl with the banana and the fork”
“U say grab the knife?”
Carla: Grab the banana and the bowl
Deandre: Did you say grab the KNIFE?
"It's so good even the ground wants some."
That's my new line if a girl ever falls in front of me.
“Kinda like the cake that Ms. Trunchbull made the kid eat.” 😂😂😂 i don’t even know who this man is but i love him!
He's a murderer. Just watch the video proof if you search his name + brandon knight in the youtube search bar
@@chairofthebored C'mon let Brandon enjoy his Thanksgiving. The poor guy has been through enough.
@@chairofthebored 😂😂😂
This statement made the episode complete for me.
He’s a really really really tall Center for the Brooklyn Nets...and adorable! So willing to learn and honestly humble... for a millionaire!
I love that he actually asks Carla when he's unsure of instructions. Had me rooting for him the whole vid!
I could easily just watch a series of these two cooking, their vibe was so enjoyable!
Wasn't it?
I know they're perfect together！！！！！
Jfc he wasn't lying about his pinches being a different amount!
He is so coachable. I'm not surprised, since he is a great athlete. I loved all the good questions he asked. He was one of my favorites so far.
I love how DeAndre could hold the bowl with one hand and Carla needed to use her whole arm
"is the stand mixer the one with the banana in it?"
*I JUST DIED* 😂
lol it didn't help that Carla said the stand mixer was to his left when in fact it was on his right side.
My favorite back to back chef yet. I mean, he’s the definition of gentle giant: everything he did so gingerly. It was frankly adorable. And that bit with the sugar where he just had to make sure.
Such a good dude, and they're great together. Needs to be a recurring guest.
I love how everytime deandre adds all of something to a mixture he asks "all of it?" after he is done adding all of it.
He’s a Matilda fan. I like this dude already.
"that doesn't make any sense" -absolutely nails the maple syrup.
I love how he tastes every spice to make sure it's sugar or salt.
06Alpinestars He’s careful and smart!
It was at that moment that I knew he’d be just fine!
You guys have to do something else with him - he's a giant teddy bear and so adorable! His face, when he turned around 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I love how much non sportsfans in the comments like this guy. He's a class act
Its funny cause sports fans could care less about this guy
kenneth batchelder maybe now but just a few years ago he was an all star and has always been an elite rebounder.
@@ARR0WMANC3R Yeah i didnt mean to say hes a bad player. Just that in 3 point era hes being bounced around the league and most people probably dont even know what team hes on rn. Then again i havent watched nba for like a year now lol. It was getting real boring these past few year imo. Hes a cool dude for sure though.
kenneth batchelder until kawaih and the raptors restored balance to the nba
i really like how careful he is with everything and he really pays attention that's my sht
I love how good at explaining things Carla is. She always takes people’s skill levels into account when she explains things. Probably a very good mom
Rick just casually walking in the poncho around the kitchen lol
Thank you! I was waiting for a comment about the poncho! It's a lovely and flowy sich
I guess he's always full flamenco
One of the best episodes ever hands down. I love how he’s so down to earth, also he didn’t try to goof around to seem funny and he followed her instructions carefully 💕
i love when a person who looks so tall is so gentle and you feel like he is intimidating you at first because he is so tall but he is actually a sweetheart....i loved it...i fell in love with this guy
This was like therapy after the Hailee Steinfeld episode
Edit: Never mind me, I'm just back here for my therapy again after the Ninja episode. Jesus.
so zen hahaha fr
Hahaha for real though 😂
OMG so true that was a frustrating episode😒
Meeee
OMG LITERALLY
7:40
DeAndre: *holds the whole bowl with one hand*
Carla: *struggles to hold it with the power of her hand and body*
Not even ten minutes in and I'm already in love with this man
He's so wholesome we simply have to stan
When he asked if it was too spicy that was kinda adorable 😭
I think for the first time I felt the pain of being a tall person, when he had to squat to flip a pancake.
I guess I'm in the rare demographic who loves Bon Appetit but also knows who DeAndre Jordan is.
K P count me in
Another one
@@thomasgarcia8118 and another one
Yup!
Reporting in! (he was once on my flight to LAX and said hi, super cool dude)
As someone that watches a lot of basketball, this video has furthered my opinion that Deandre is one of the most fun players in the NBA
