I finally found a man with a voice more soothing than mine.

Chef Floyd Cardoz just died of Coronavirus in New York. This is a sad day for Indian Cooking and all it's fans across the globe. May his soul rest in peace.

“The people at home are afraid of getting their hands dirty” says the man who tiny whisks EVERYTHING

Andrew, I have a request: Would you please do an episode of Binging in memory of Floyd? He was an inspiration. It would really mean a lot to all those whose lives were touched by him and his food. Thank you.

I love hearing people praise their spouses. It warms my heart.

R.I.P Floyd. Legend of Indian Cuisine. Never forgotten.

This guy makes Babish sound like a drunk raging hooligan hahahahaha

[GNAWalker]

May Floyd’s soul be at peace while watching over his fans, family and friends from the heavens above us all.

This is the only guest star on this show that hasn't ruined the calming feel of the show.

[KatieKitty]

The guest is so soft-spoken that I turned my volume all the way up to hear him (earbuds in) and lost my damn ear drums when the theme song started.

Still worth fresh Indian breads.

"You got to feel your food", as a bread baker for the last 8 years i can tell you this is totally true (and also a little therapeutic sometimes)

[ThirtyfourEC]

Made naan today.
Not perfect, but I'll keep at it.
He may be gone physically, but his wisdom will forever be passed on.

[prateekkhandekar]

we really needed this indian series considering the variety and depth in indian cuisine not just being butter chicken and naan

[_souyuu]

Hearing him talk about his wife's roti and how he didn't want any other than his wife's just made my heart swell <3
What a sweet duo i swear

[saurabhOanchovies]

When he said applying some jam to the roti and rolling it up like a cigar
Me: *school lunch box flashbacks*

Babish is now what our aunties like to refer as 'marriage material'.

[mdkc]

These two men have voices so rich I'm getting heart disease just listening to them.

[benjeffery]

His soft Indian (correct me if I’m wrong) accent is kinda soothing

[yash]

"Getting Ur hands dirty" Americans and many western countries refer to this statement when they're asked to eat food by hand... How can food be dirty...dirt is dirty...it's food...!!! We're consuming it..what's wrong in touching it with hands.... U wash Ur hands it's gone..!!!! The people from all the Asian countries know that eating with hand has its unique feel..

"No one will marry you if your roti is not round!" Almost every Indian mother.
