Obviously I said spidey on purpose, I'm a professional, I would never include a mistake like that in a final product.

Babish: I call upon my best friend, bounty paper towel
Tiny whisk: *crying in a corner with regular whisk*

[Saphirakii]

Everyone: Raid Shadow Legends


Babish: Bounty Paper Towels

"So we're gonna start by lightly sautéing one Bounty paper towel"

[damonvang]

Honestly, if you opened a restaurant called "The Clean Plate Club" and the menu was just foods from tv shows, id fly across the U.S just to eat there

[SlpyTime]

Imagine getting sponsored by paper towels as a YouTuber, honestly so impressed

[isabellnagel]

Babish: *just killed somebody*
Also babish: let's clean that up with paper towels

[tarragonpowder]

Dude I had a lot of time to kill with this quarantine thing so I made my own stock, my own chili paste, and then made the carnivorous chili. I also made the roux from your Cajun episode (couldn’t find any masa harina) and dumped the chili in with some beer and 4 hours later the thickest, darkest, meatiest, most delicious chili I’ve ever had came out. Served it with some rice, sour cream, and avocados.

Your videos have turned me from that idiot who burned eggs to a chili master in about 4 months.

[millerirvin]

Bounty really got their money’s worth with this sponsor

[SuperThebum]

Bounty: "Y... Y'know you only had to mention us once right???"

[JonSudano]

Other YouTubers: raid shadow legends is fun guys :^)

Babish: *P A P E R T O W E L S*

[diobrando]

Well, as a Vegetarian for all my Life, I never even once looked at chili. This looks awesome. Going to the Store to buy some chili´s now, and some Bounty.

[lostinacatsmouth]

I love how babish doesn't even try to pretend he isnt sponsered he's just like:


TOWEL

[mrmidnight]

Hey does anyone know what brand towels he uses? Just can’t figure it out, he keeps it such a secret.

[alexan]

Who's this Amanda Lynn and how does she get her vegetable to look like that

[pencilgaming]

Things we need to remember:

- We do not need to brown all the meat
- Vinegar leg is on the right

[dcleblond]

Man Bounty got their money's worth! "Can you mention our product?" "CAN I? Hold my poblano..."

[cpt.knabbergebaeck]

Bounty paper towel: how often can you reference to our paper towel in a single video?


Babish: yes.

[nicholasleung]

Him: oh no I spilled the chilli, good thing I have bounty paper towels to clean it up

Me:oh no I spilled the chilli, good thing I have *mY ToNgUe* to clean it up
