Blue Wednesday - "'Apple Pies and Butterflies"

My playlist of preferred cooking tunes, Bangers with Babish!

It's borderline remarkable that I never once used the word 'taters' In this episode

[mustashee]

Babish: And, you guessed it-
Me: Kosher salt?
Babish: Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning

[JustADioWhosAHeroForFun]

Two more potatoes and Babish can finally complete his Potato Gauntlet

[CraigMorrison]

Has it ever occurred to anyone that people don't just make content to please just you? They do it to make a living. They have to make money to pay for the time it takes to make each episode. And when time is of the essence, there's no better way to save some than by harnessing the delicious flavor of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning powder.

I hope he got paid each time he said “Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Shaker”

[zaynrashid]

Babish: Uses a full size whisk
His entire fanbase: *impossible*

[justinwilcox]

Oh my gosh I think your the first food YouTuber that actually called it a Russet Burbank instead of just russet. As a potato scientist this made me happy.

Babish Cliffnotes:

- let the flavors "get to know each other"
- tiny whisk can be both a noun and verb
- his ever changing waistline is front page news
- commentary > actual cooking
- his versions are always better...sometimes
- something abour Frazier
- his friends get to eat a lot of free food!

I always thought I just HATED mashed potatoes, turns out I had just been eating unseasoned “wallpaper paste” mashed potatoes - literally just boiled potato hit with a hand blender & a little milk until “idk they’re done I guess?” Thanks Midwestern parents 💀💀💀

[nataliac]

Pre-sponsorship Babish would’ve made his own ranch

[tron]

Andrew: Adds Cayenne pepper

Chef John: *bites bottom lip*

[merbaladotelor]

Babish : Got sponsored by Ranch

Me : *flashbacks to inferno wings video*

[marlow]

This one is actually simple, and I can make it.

[RLeemb]

"No, dude. Have you ever met me?"

No I have not and that makes me very sad.

[perciusmandate]

Me, a Midwesterner: "Hidden Valley Ranch? Ah. I see you speak the language of my people."

[MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

What I learned here: Loaded mashed potatoes is technically a salad. Thank you for that knowledge.

[patriotmckee]

"salty like the ocean"

never tasted the ocean :(

"or tears"

OOHHH yeah I gotchu

[sirsmit]

Sorry, can anyone remind me who sponsored this video? Not sure I caught it.

[MusicalMethuselah]

"In the war against lumps"

Open your eyes, Babish. The lumps want only friendship and understanding. Do not resist the delicious lumps!

[TheNerindil]

"Red Bliss" is definitely what someone calls their barbarian's rage ability in D&D. Give me some time and that someone might even be me.
