11:17 “THATS MY FAVORITE CHILDRENS BOOK!” The level of joy on everyone’s faces is enough to brighten your day!

[unon]

The whole half minute montage from 14:45 with Ollie reading out his list in earnest enthusiasm while Josh just polishes the desserts is just the kind of stuff i'm here for, and that honest "What do you think?" at the end Oh Ollie you're precious and adorable

[uncreative]

This is the Jolly collab I never thought I'd see. Babish and Ollie's sense of humor is on the same wavelength. I can't wait for how this video plays out.

[HarmanKaur-xnzm]

I am dying at how he just casually started reading them a book in the middle of a restaurant😂

[annaheeldawes]

Babish’s reaction to The Hungry Caterpillar book is tremendous, and the pure ecstasy of Ollie realising all his Christmas’s have come at once, as soon as he started reading it to him. ❤️

I’ve lived in NYC for 27 years. Osteria Mornini is my favorite Italian for all the reasons mentioned. You get a little bit of everything. American Italian classics combined with authentic Italian regional dishes. I am glad you liked it.

[HorWangZaaa]

Josh : I feel like I haven't even had Italian food before!
Mr Z : Am I a joke to you??

[katzbac]

I was grinning this WHOLE vid! and the gasp i gusped when Ollie said "Bedtime with Babish"???!! bc i LOVED that series and wished Babish would bring it back! I would def watch Beekeeping with Babish as well. As always, Ollie has the best ideas!

Babish fulfilling Ollie's dream of reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar is peak content.

This is a collab I never thought I would see! I didn't even realize I needed this collab until I saw it! Absolutely love the video! His reaction to the children's book was my favorite part! That was so freaking sweet! Ollie is not wrong about his voice. I've always loved his voice and it does make for excellent reading!

[surajhegdethb]

Mr Z. Is going to have a word with you about the title 😂!

[unon]

Okay thoughtful gift exchanges are just the best golden moments I love the ending here so much i might cry🥺🥺🥺

[jesuslopez]

"THAT"S MY FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOK" what a spectacular reaction

[Simonize]

Best Jolly, EVER!! The food, the company, the fun and banter… just perfect! Thank you trio.👏🏻

[Meh_Lone_Bah]

Babish freaking out spasming over a children's book is very cute and endearing 😂

[hybridstrength]

LOVE THIS EPISODE. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was my favorite children's book too!!

[FaisalQuadri]

I know Ollie was just trolling with the list of channels for Babbish, but scraping the bottom of the barrel with babbish would be a PHENOMENAL idea. Imagine Andrew has to make a meal but with ingredients that aren’t the best or even leftovers. Basically using whatever you have at your disposal to cook a meal. There are so many spin off challenges you could do as well. It would be an awesome idea

[andreacatzel]

Utterly delightful. Ollie’s reaction to Andrews reading was adorable! Loved every minute. Thank you! ❤

[Ajessordinaryhistory]

Omg please bring Babish to Korea please… that would be so much fun to watch!:)

[ResinAlchemist]

I have learned so many amazing recipes from Banish content. Things I would have normally thought I did not have the skill to even attempt to make. His content is always fun, informative, and approachable. I really enjoy and appreciate that. It's also lovely to see Josh and Ollie collab with Babish. Thanks guys! Now please bring back Father Chris for a react or tasting episode. His positivity makes my heart smile.
