So Sabrina is the IT one, Melissa is the food one and Taha is… Taha

[georgiahillgrove]

it’s utterly unhinged to me to serve a bunch of people an entire meal without having tried any of the recipes before

[paboland]

i live for Melissa doing things out of spite

[PepperMintMe]

I was so stressed about the fact that she didn't try the recipe before the day of the opening! 😂

[moonpalace.mp]

This absolutely could be done by just having a bean potluck for friends without the restaurant steps

But this is SO extra and THAT'S WHAT IM HERE FOR

[Moonmoon-wsjo]

This is so damn impressive that it’s unhinge. Two people working in a kitchen for so many guest, not trying the food before hand and succeeding

[AngryTenko]

Being Brazilian, the idea of someone "not liking beans" is absolutely alien. It's like not liking water.

[stefaniacampos]

As a Mexican, it's such a stereotype but beans are like a staple in our kitchen. We always buy them when we go grocery shopping. It's like a side or main dish for us, it's so essential that the idea of not having beans and just eating something else is like noo what else will I be able to eat? Also, they are cheap, for most Mexican families it's essential because it is something they can afford so it's very very important for our lives.
Also, I was expecting her to cook the beans not buy the can ones from the store, I'm sure the food would have tasted better. The ones from the can are not that great.
Loved the idea of the brownie though!

[husaynbootwala]

Her brother picking out all the beans was the cherry on top 🤣🤣🤣

[tjnova]

My favorite thing about these videos is how littler y’all think through your absolutely massive goals. Melissa literally said “I’m gonna make a whole-ass restaurant… I can probably wait until opening day to make a menu.

[matheusfsm]

As a Brazilian myself, I find it strange that people don't eat beans for lunch every day because here, you don't consider it a complete lunch if you don't have rice and beans.

[mrudulasrivatsa]

Ive been watching a lot of masterchef recently and Melissa literally put herself theough a masterchef challenge for the love of b e a n

[EmmisonMike]

as someone that's just learned navy beans and rice is something i can bang out for a weekday lunch and not get sick of, I'm in full support of this. There's a revolution coming

[faithlauber]

this video makes me feel so seen, in middle school i was at a summer camp where they gave us barely any protein, so i filled my Camp Approved Water Cup(tm) with baked beans every lunch TO THE BRIM and carried it with me through the camp for an hour or two slowly eating every bean. the councilors were so amused by this little 12 year old girl getting her daily cup of beans!

[sinom]

Japanese sweet red bean paste is an amazing ingredient for all kinds of desserts

[diegorr]

Every one of these videos feel simulltanously like a small documentary and like an episode of a sitcom

[jamesphillips]

I wonder if a vanilla soy latte will be included: AKA 3 bean soup.

Edit: Nope but the 4 been brownies sound promising.

[HaarmannE]

as a member of the service industry, thank you for your service for showing people how much work goes into running a restaurant. and as an earthling, thanks for spreading the cool beans about the beans!!!

[VinnieGer]

I knew subscribing to this channel wasn’t a mistake!!! Where else could I watch something like this?!

[stephRivera-tqzp]

I don't usually leave comments on anything

but I wanted to thank you for making this video. Beans are incredibly underrated and as someone who loves creative cooking, it always breaks my heart to see them be taken for granted and consumed only in their canned form.
Seeing you fight to prove otherwise truly made my day ❤
